ragnarok1945 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 obviously to make the anime show work, and to make you one REALLY crappy duelist if you learned everything in dueling from the anime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azure Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 They water down effects because they think the card's orginal effect is to unfair and overpowering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I thought by the time of GX the real Uria had already been out, they only did it for the anime in such a way to fit the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 You're slow to the party. Alot of people say the cards are too broken in the anime, so they have to do something to sort the cards out for OCG release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I already knew that Cinder, but you said by the time of GX many of the actual OCG cards have been released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Actually the GX anime cards were ahead of the OCG, whereas 5Ds is literally on top of them, esp Aki's cards where we knew the effects of all her cards before we first saw her.

ragnarok1945 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 so when did the GX anime cards and the OCG cards finally begin to merge like in 5Ds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Some points they did (for example King Mist or was it Fog along with Exodios), but by Season 4, atleast 3 character decks had either no releases or very few cards (Jim, Darkness and Fujiwara), they moved on before they'd caught up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for good duelists. They'll just accuse the anime of cheating all the time Of course. That's a given. They could also argue that God Draws are cheating as well, if you think about it. Most cartoons suffer the hero complex which state that the hero pretty much ALWAYS has to win in order to move the plot along. Of course, the hero would pretty much win all the time anyway if he/she were using a meta level deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 plus the fact luck the draw isn't really supposed to work. I bet skilled duelists will probably list all different sorts of ways the hero should have lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturn of Elemia Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 please.

ragnarok1945 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 5 actually if you count all 5 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn of Elemia Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 5 actually if you count all 5 seasons. Are you counting the time that Yugi forced Yami to hold off his attack to keep Kaiba from killing himself in Duelist Kingdom? (technically, I wasn't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Well let's list them all 1. The vid duel against Pegasus right before DK: shouldn't really count since Yugi would have won had the timer clock not run out (which is only 1 second away) and in any case Pegasus cheated with his eye. 2. The duel before Pegasus's castle against Kaiba: shouldn't count because Kaiba was desperate to save Mokuba but didn't tell Yugi the reason (in which was also part of the reason why Kaiba organized BC in the first place). 3. The Kaibaland duel against Rebecca: shouldn't count because Yugi chose to forfeit when the last card he played would haved wiped out the rest of her LP anyway, he only forfeited to teach her a lesson. 4. The harbor duel against Joey then mind controlled by Marik: shouldn't count because Yugi was trying to save Joey from Marik's mind control (which did happen at the last second), and then he was trying to prevent the anchor from dropping for another 30 seconds. 5. The Orichalcos drumstone duel against Rafael: this one is debatable. Some people say Yugi lost without cheating or tricks, others insist by giving him the seal Rafael cheating because the Orichalcos messed with his head.

Saturn of Elemia Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Yup. Each one having that one variable - either choosing not to win (his choice) or situations beyond his control (i.e. time or outside influence). Now without any of those, Yugi would've won all those duels and be labeled with the 'hero complex' - more so than he already is by those unaware of the 5 duels you just mentioned.

ragnarok1945 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 actually I count the very last one as legitimate loss since Rafael made no illegal moves or anything, not to mention Yugi had played his legendary dragon before getting the seal from him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
