    Pro tip for anyone who wants to play forbidden memories.
    - TWIN-HEADED THUNDER DRAGON is your best friend.
    - He might be a little shy, hiding away in the beginning, but if you can find a relatively common CRAWLING DRAGON no#2 or DRAGON ZOMBIE, you can lure him out.
    - He's big and strong and he's got your back.
    - Now, there may be times where his 2,800 beef won't be enough, you opponent may BS out a Meteor B. Dragon or Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth, but that's okay, your pal gets stronger with cards like DARK ENERGY, DRAGON TREASURE and SHINING CASTLE.
    - If all else fails, your TWIN-HEADED THUNDER DRAGON is willing to throw himself into that DARK HOLE you've been saving to get rid of the real monster your opponent brought out.
    - He can be made SUPER consistently.
    - He can be made in your opening hand, more often than not.
    - if you wanted to, you could even buy his card outright and make a little extra room for that one card you like but weren't able to splash in before~ You know the one, the one with the cool artwork that just peaks your fancy~
    - Surely if that bastard who jipped you at the bar, TIGER AXE, costs 999,999 Star Chips, something as loyal as TWIN-HEADED THUNDER DRAGON would cost just as much, right?
    No, TWIN-HEADED THUNDER DRAGON knew you didn't have the time for that, so he had a word with the Shopkeep, TWIN-HEADED THUNDER DRAGON wanted to make sure you could always count on him, so he was able to barter the TWIN-HEADED THUNDER DRAGON card down to 1,900 Starchips so you wouldn't have to spend 200,000 Duels hunting for him.
    - Even if you manage to pull out a Meteor B. Dragon from Pegasus' sphincter and want to make HIM your new No.1, TWIN-HEADED THUNDER DRAGON won't mind, he'll accept you've outgrown him, he's happy to go back in the truck and wait until you want to use him again.
    - TWIN-HEADED THUNDER DRAGON's the kind of guy who would introduce you to the love of your life at a bar and buy you BOTH drinks so you can hit it off without having to worry about paying.
    - TWIN-HEADED THUNDER DRAGON's the kind of guy who you'll go out for a meal with and not judge you for forgetting your wallet, he knows everyone has a bad day.
    - TWIN-HEADED THUNDER DRAGON will help you with genuinely GOOD life advice and even help you research how to keep yourself out of debt.
    - All this because, he may not be the biggest and STRONGEST monster there is, but ultimately, TWIN-HEADED THUNDER DRAGON wants you to succeed.
    - All this because, at the end of the day, in your trip through Forbidden Memories, TWIN-HEADED THUNDER DRAGON is your best friend.

      actually it seems pretty fun if you ask me
      weak cards can be turned into decent ones, unlike the first 8 or so years of yugioh (until around synchro era)
      for example any weak beast + pyro = flame cerberus with 2100 atk, no polymerization needed, just basic thinking (fire + beast = a fire beast)
      rock + dragon = a rock dragon
      beast + plant = flower wolf
      and so on... I wish some of this mechanics was brought into the game

    • @Gensolink
      @Gensolink Рік тому +5

      ​@@findout-YGO the issue is more logistic imo, like if you can theorically fuse monster forever how does that work in a physical format. and as far as I understand the game there was no extra deck involved so yeaaah.
      It's an interesting concept but you would need to do some work rule wise for it to not be utterly broken or too easy to pull off.

    • @Zetact_

      @@Gensolink If I were to warrant a guess, the modern Fusion of "just put two cards of any vague connection to the Fusion monster from anywhere to anywhere else" that Konami has been heavily leaning towards would be how it could have worked.
      The original manga ruleset had Fusion and transformation were sort of like "Extra Deck" monsters (and a lot of transformed monsters in the game were made Fusion) - like you'd have monsters such as Rabid Horseman, Wall Shadow, Black Skull Dragon, Thousand-Eyes Restrict etc. that were Fusions. The general concept that seems to have been conceived was that "Any two monsters can be Fused using Poly" and their fused forms were very specific and obvious Fusions of the monster's traits (obviously).
      But because printing cards that make sense with that sort of logic would have been utterly insane. So instead they just tried to make a handful of specific Fusion monsters and in many instances they took cards that weren't even meant to be Fusions and just turned them into Fusions to pad out the number of Fusions.
      The original choice of how Fusions worked in the card game was a balancing mechanic. Fusions were convenient in that you could run Poly and make a number of different Fusions based on your deck - and the monsters wouldn't brick you since they're all in the Fusion/Extra Deck. Rituals, conversely, you needed to run a specific Ritual spell and a Ritual monster which both needed to be in your hand and otherwise would brick you. The balance is that Rituals are more convenient in that you don't need specific materials, whereas Fusions you do.
      Could they have switched this? Yes - but it would make Rituals more clunky since you would need like four specific cards in your hand/field instead of just the two while Fusions you could use Poly and basically your entire deck - Fusions would be way too powerful and this was before Master Rule 5 so Konami wasn't ready to let Fusions be completely hogging the spotlight at the expense of every other summoning mechanic yet. How Fusions currently work is theoretically more logically sound and in-line with how they worked in the manga, where it's basically any two monsters + a Poly can make a fusion.

    A lot of folks fail to realize forbidden memories is a prototype. Yu-gi-oh started out as being a manga in 96 getting and anime adaptation in 98 however if you look at the OG manga and Anime you will find little to do with duel monsters. This game dropped December of 99 the OCG would come out 3 months later and include a-lot of the rules we use to this day such as tribute summoning. Forbidden Memories holds a place in heart along with a couple other of the first yugioh games to drop before the card game was what it is today. Because you got to watch the game take shape and become what it is now.

      I always find it interesting when games happen like this, releasing in the west after the finalized anime but originally being made before it and having bizarre beta stuff. The only other time I know it happened was Digimon World 1, which is essentially a beta draft of the anime setting right down to some area names being the same in the Japanese version. But Myotismon is a good guy and the villain is instead a random human businessman, haha!

      @@Rabbitlord108 Again it was a prototype to what the card game would be. Yugioh’s history is awesome it was meant to be a dark gambling and game experience. However the monster game took the spotlight as a fan favorite and it became a rush to make the series fit that including the games. Definitely wasn’t a bad game that is cause I don’t judge it as a yugioh card game title. It had a fun story and was a fun attempt at making a game that had no rules or concepts even set in stone. The tcg and ocg very well could of debuted just like this. 🤷‍♂️ But it didn’t they, changed quite a few things. Hell even the anime and ocg have glaring issues and differences in the first run of the series cause they were trying to figure it out as they went.

      ​@@NatsFan18 Uh offhand the only way I recall how to cheat on the old games (back before they had any online capability), was to punch in the card codes from the lower left of legitimate cards for free copies in game. Back before the internet was widely accessible it was a catch-22 since that required you to have the cards in order to know the codes, but nowdays there's compiled lists for each game, last I checked anyway. The caveat for those games was you could only get each card once in this way, but with some time to burn you could collect almost every card in the game; obviously cards made after the given game won't work. By now I imagine they've been datamined for actual cheats, though I haven't looked into them in years; don't blame you on cheating though, done so with older games I still have completed saves for lol.

    2:00 Actually, the thing about the story of this game is that it came out when the latest volume of Yu-Gi-Oh! was 15, with its latest chapter being 133, right after Yugi defeats Pegasus. Ishizu wouldn't appear in the manga until chapter 146 in volume 16. It's also worth mentioning that Kazuki Takahashi is credited in the game as "Scenario Draft", so it's likely that the plot beats of Forbidden Memories are based on ideas he had for the manga's future that he still hadn't fully realized.

    If you are playing Playstation you can just farm a single copy of the cards you want, and with the help of 2 additional memory cards, dupe them. Since you cant trade with your own ID you just create a fresh save on the second card and copy your main save to your third. Then you trade the cards you want to dupe from the third one to the second one and from that one onto your main ID. Repeat. Saves a lot of time if you want to skip the farming part.

    Another piece of advice, if you open a duel without anything good try putting a monster in face down attack position. I'm not really sure why, but sometimes when you do this the AI will refuse to attack. Even if they have monsters like Gate Guardian on their field. It doesn't always work, but can be a useful strategy

    Ayoo, thanks for the video! Too bad I'm gonna be that guy and add onto tip #7 about how to get a better S or A-Tec. Pretty much you can get either of these ranks, and it'll pull from the same drop pool. Also, rank is determined by an internally calculated "score", and while making the opponent deck out will get you an S-Tec, you can do everything in the following list to get a score that will result in an A-Tec much faster:
    1. Fuse 15 times (Make that swirly fusion effect happen)
    2. Attack and destroy an opponent's monster in a way that deals life point damage 4 times (involves baiting them out with a weak monster)
    3. Have < 7000 life points remaining (so 6999 or less)
    4. Have 3 cards left in your deck (the number right below your life point count should be 3 or less)
    5. Activate a trap card
    6. Activate a magic card (field card or raigeki)
    7. Use an equip card (has to successfully work on the monster it's used on)
    It might look a little intimidating, but it's easy to get used to where you can straight up track it on your hands after enough practice! And believe me, it's WAAAAY faster than decking out the opponent.
    Check out GFC_'s tutorial here on youtube, just search up yugioh forbidden memories a-tec tutorial or something and there are plenty of guides on how to do it fast.

    3rd: Now trade the card you traded from Memory Card 2 to Memory Card 3 to Memory Card 1.
    4th: Congratulations you hace now succeed to copy a card, all you have to do now is to repat it every time.

    Forbidden Memories is one of my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh games. You can place a monster in face down attack mode, and you don't even have to do tributes or rituals, to put the actual monster on the field. My favorite strategy was to take the first Monster, which was either a blue eyes Ultimate Dragon or a gate guardian, and put it in face down attack mode and watch my enemy attack me, and I finish them in the following turn when they have no monster. And I also had reversed trap in case someone tried to activate a buffer card. Instant victory.

      Yea, it's Exodia, the Sealed One. Both names have "封印" (Fūin) which literally means "seal" as in "enclose" or "sealed away" and the kanji separately translate to "seal mark" like a wax impression. How do you even mess that up? Although it was UDE who messed up with Exodia so can't really say Konami America messed up twice there.

Everyone being able to change their hand is dickish design. At least those four had dark magic. Also, ever wondered why the Magician of Black Chaos is on the cover? It was to promote a V-Jump guidebook that came with the Card.

    Another yugioh game that comes to mind in terms of cheating would be Yugioh GX Duel Academy.

  • @absi49
    @absi49 5 місяців тому +1

    Honorable mention to world championship 2011 for nintendo DS, SOMETIMES not always the AI turn the cheat mode on and draw and hold all the cards needed to counter what you have set or in hand, its very easy to do a cheat proof using an emulator and when you indentify the suspect plays from the AI it means it turned the cheat mode on so just make a save state and test yourself different plays and see the AI will have or hold the perfect counter for any play you do. What trick people to say this game doesnt cheat is that the cheat mode isnt always turned on and nobody knows what triggers it to be activated, so people just play a random duel where the cheat mode isnt on and see the dumb AI then say the game dont cheat, tbh this a very easy way to manipulate younger or dumb3r people into think the game is fair since to this day theres people swearing to god that the game doesnt cheat LOL.

    This game was so hard to beat in the american port but I learned years later that it was actually supposed to have some companion tech where you could get a lot of the unobtainable cards and the game would become a lot easier since you could fuse to get stuff like PUGM. Of course that tech was exclusive to japan and it never came to the west so we have a cheaty mccheat game with very unbalanced and unfair bosses.

    I remember realising that my cards had codes and I put it into the game, cards like petit dragon and succubus knight were pricy with star chips but I thought "hey, this is cool; I should return with a better card and grind for that"...
    ...I got the Kaiba starter deck shortly after. Yeah, I put blue eyes that I got in the thing: 9999. I kid you not, I stared at the game a while, quietly put my blue eyes back in my deck. Saved the game and didn't return for years. Bare in mind this was 1 of the only 2 ps1 games I had at the time, so I played the other; much more reasonable ps1 game I had: Digimon World 1.
    The tamagotchi raising, cruel dark souls difficulty game where you had to go out and fight digimon to recruit to your town to get features like shops, hospitals, fast travel, etc... Yeah that was easier than yugioh for me at the time. It was hard but at least it wasn't 9999 star chips hard. I actually got pretty good at it too! So Forbidden Memories did something good.:D

    Tip# 7.5 Don't S-Tec Pegasus. A-Tec him, which is way faster. There's a good tutorial by the former World Record holder, GFC, on how to A-Tec. Basically, fuse a lot, have under 6k life points, use equip cards, trap cards, destroy your opponents monster when they are in attack mode, use pure magic cards like field spells or Raigeki and have less than 3 cards remaining.
    It sounds daunting at first, but it's way faster and if you set up your deck accordingly for Pegasus A-tec than you can do this naturally without keeping track of what you have to do.
