Slower or Faster? (Speed of the Meta)


Recommended Posts

^Because most players only care about winning? I honestly hate people like that.

 

IT'S JUST A CHILDREN'S CARD GAME!!!

 

Seriously' date=' some kid over in Corvallis was supposedly the "Best Duelist There". I went there for a tournament and bashed him into the ground. A couple months later, him and his family moved to my town. It turns out that I met him again. So, he challenged me, saying all this stuff about training to be able to get revenge against me for making him a laughing stock. On the third turn, I finished him off. The next day, when he came to school, he was dressed in all black, kept to himself and didn't talk much, and had cuts all over his arms and legs. He also burned his cards the night I beat him again. He's been like that ever since.

^lol' date=' yeah. He feels like a waste of flesh, like he should have never been born.

Tell him that. Also tell him to stop being a sore loser and that he should return to Yu-Gi-Oh.

 

Or give him the ol' YCM hard critic punch.

 

Or hit him with the hammer of common sense.

 

that isn't going to work from the guy who beat him.

the fast meta is only fun for people who like to win with no challenge, they just want to draw their best card, and win in two turns.

The slow meta is the meta for those who wish to have games go longer, so that, even though they don't win every time, at least the win doesn't just go to whoever goes first.

 

Fast Meta = boring

Slow Meta = fun

I liked the slow meta more. i could use some of my favorite cards like blue-eyes and gate guardian. this new fast meta makes it impossible to do that anymore. plus it discourages new players to get into yu-gi-oh unless its at home duels only (like i often do with my brother). my g/f is just starting to get into it' date=' no way in hell can i take her to any kind of competative dueling place.

Gate Guardian is terrible even in the slowest of metas.

 

Slow Meta = More Variety

Fast Meta = Less Variety

 

More Variety = Good

Less Variety = Bad

 

So....

Slow Meta = Good

Fast Meta = Bad

 

Variety does have one downside - some matches end up turning into decktype rock-paper-scissors. A one-deck format doesn't have a skilled Zombie duelist being defeated by a mediocre Macro duelist.

 

Nevertheless' date=' variety is generally a good thing, especially when you consider the usual causes of a lack of variety.

 

YES, they have done the right thing by speeding the game up. The people who are the ones who are beening attacked bye these strong monsters have to make there deck full of defence cards so they can even stay in the duel for more tan 2 turns! Yes it is harder for people to join and be good, but if they get good cards and good card combos they can be good too.

 

Yeah, people are filling their decks with Big Shield Gardnas.

 

Slow Meta = More Variety

Fast Meta = Less Variety

 

More Variety = Good

Less Variety = Bad

 

So....

Slow Meta = Good

Fast Meta = Bad

 

WOO! Transitive Postulate!

 

It's not a postulate. It's an aspect of the definition of equality.

it's harder than you think. It was an ass trying to get my Dark Armed Dragon, and now that i have it, i nuke the field so quickly with it people don't want to duel me with it anymore. Good cards are expensive and rare as hell, good combos are constantly being banned (my favorite was Gearfried-Iron, Butterfly Dagger and Royal Magical Library in my exodia deck) meaning the only way anyone can play anymore is with nuke decks. If you don't have a nuke deck, you are just a 2 turn duelist. people dont trade the nuking cards because of how strong and how difficult-to-get they are. A monster with high defense isn't going to survive against Norleras or D.A.D. I love fast paced dueling but only if im playing a fast-paced duelist. i miss the old days when cards like Metalzoa, Sanga Of The Thunder, Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon, and BEWD had a prescence in dueling.

 

I love how you people seem to think that every terrible card was somehow important in a slower format. Metalzoa, for example, has never had a presence in dueling - and speaking as someone who has used Metalzoa to his full potential, I should know.

What is Metalzoa's full potential?

 

It seems like a horrible card to me. Except the level 8 and DARK advantages.

 

It's a hard to summon beatstick.

 

Only real uses I can see is being in your hand with Allure of Darkness or Trade-In.

Reasoning and Monster Gate. It's a Semi-Nomi meaning if you run into it with Reasoning or Monster Gate, it just gets skipped as if it were a Spell or Trap and Reasoning and Monster Gate continues until it hits a summonable monster. With a good number of Nomis/Semi-Nomis, you get enough Machine-Type Fusion Material Monsters to summon a powerful Chimeratech Overdragon. Allure of Darkness and Trade-In are to ensure they dont end up as dead draws.

 

With Reasoning and Monster Gate limited and Dark Magician of Chaos banned, Metalzoa cant be used to its full potential.

Oh. Okay. Thanks for telling me.

 

I still wouldn't use it in ANY deck though. ^_^

agreed. And what is it with you cannot duel with forbidden cards? ever hear of Traditional Duels, where you use 1 copy of forbidden cards instead of none? there are other places to duel besides tournaments.
