There are kids at the locals I go to, they’re actually pretty good. However, after beating all the kids, and not beating a single grown player at a tournament once, I was known as the child beater for a while.
Tell them the situation Plus if you can’t beat a grown player There’s no reason to call you a child beater Plus i don’t think you beat children with a whip
Is actual nudity on mats and / or card sleeves even allowed? Like I'm sure you could skirt the rules by having a bikini anime girl but surely there must be some rule against having straight-up hentai on your stuff at a tournament.
1) People who buy a 700 dollar deck, but don't know anything about the game itself, and take 10 minutes to read the cards, and then proceed to normal summon a monster and pass
The kids thing is the big reason why I quit going to the only Local in my area. Whenever there is a kid there, the Veterans would just be douches trying to sell/trade the Holo/Anime cards to the kids, in exchange for actually good cards that the kids own. Heck a kid drew an Ash blossom and traded it for a Dark Magician cuse he didn't know better. Of course there's always the arguement, its a worthy trade as long as the kid gets their fun from it, but that in my opinion is just an excuse to rip off kids. Playing against them was usually fine, everyone held back, and even accepted the kids just playing Blue-Eyes withotu Tribute costs, cuse most of the kids had no idea how the game worked. The big thing was really though when I got between the greedy douches and explained the value of their cards to the kids and so forth. I was hated by the others for cucking their ripoff success. So overall, while I am still sad that I can't really go to a local anymore, I am very happy to never have to see those douches anymore who only care about money and don't even hold back, or even hold a grudge against you, when you stop them from ripping off little kids. Just...be nice to people alright? Don't rip them off, even if you can. "It's like stealing candy from a kid." Is probably the most fitting thing to say here. Its not something you should do. And you should feel bad for doing it! Keep in mind that we were all kids back then and that Yugioh needs to keep growing it's community. So what better way than to help the kids and teach them, rather than screw them over! Who knows, maybe they end up helping you out someday for it?
Basil thank you for your help with the kids dude! I know I've personally been ripped off as a kid by others because I didn't know better and it's heartwarming knowing that people like you will stand up for us. Thanks again!
I had a brionac in Nekroz format and some dude got me to trade it for a quasar and some other cheap stuff so I feel that kids pain threefold. It wasn't even a Jump Quasar!
When I was little and went to locals (I must have been 12 at the most because it was still the synchro era), I played a Jaden deck of Heros, Neospacians and fucking Evil Heros, all in one because I didn't know better and this one douche practically spat in my face for doing so. Yeah, the deck was shit but he had no sympathy for someone not knowing fundamentals of card advantage, consistency or whatever. Everyone else was really nice, though. Also My brother played a low budged version of TeleDAD leaning more towards Destiny Heros and Synchros like Goyo... his other deck was GraveKeeper Stun... Needless to say we don't talk anymore...
I would add one more. The GangBang player. That guy that has like 50 friends watching every play of the duel, correct you in any missplay, don't say anything if their friend makes a mistake and even create rules so convoluted that dont make any sense.
@@abioelkady7592 I know this is a bit of a late response but absolutely. If you have reason to believe that the people swarming are cheating you can ask them to leave and if they dont you can call a judge and make them leave
Even when I play Pot of Greed, explain that it "allows me to draw two cards" and let them read it, they feel the need to call a judge. And even the judge doesn't understand it. It is frustrating.
7:10 "Oh I only play one copy of Evenly Matched and I drew it against you. How does that make you feel?" - "Well my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined"
@@mutuallysustainedhateboner1426 idk.. but there is a dumb@$$ in my area that does and since the smell alone makes me upchuck im unable to go to any local turnament
I play MTG, but a lot of this still applies. The best way Ive found to play against younger kids is to give them any prize packs I get afterwards, it always seems to make there night getting an extra 2-4 packs.
I don't oftain play against younger players, but if my third match in a prerelease is against a person newer to the game, and I win, I'll usually give them a pack or 2. Obviously, I don't do this if they were acting overly toxic, but if I can make a person happy with a bit of product, I don't mind
To trade, or not to trade? Once upon a time, there was a teenager card collector who has alot of money to collect them all. He came to an old card shop and found a card that he really wanted. The owner were an old man. The teenager offer him a suitcase full of his rarest collection to trade with that card, but the owner refused. Needless to say that the teenager's upset. Days later, the teenager abducted the old man and tortured him to submission, taking the long-desired card he longed since he begin his cards collecting journey. Corrupted by his greed, he ripped the said card, the last card of the only 4 in the world. Because he knew the value. Because he knew, how horrible it will be to face one as his opponent. But then guess what? Years later, the teenager become the best duelist in the world, second only to the grandchild of the card shop owner. If only the card shop owner accepted the trade in the first place, none of this would have happen. The old man would plusses so much from that trade, and the boy would be more than happy to own that card! But then, the journey would never started. The boy would never become the duelist known by the world by his power and teached the next generation of duelist through academy he founded years later. Moral of the story: Life will found it's way. Journeys and adventures begins from a decision, no matter which you take, it will be priceless experience, or you could call it, a *GOLDEN EXPERIENCE* .
I find playing against kids very difficult, because I don't know how most kids think, but if I were a kid and you went easy on me, I would be upset that you weren't taking me seriously at all. But I also don't want to obliterate people who don't have the experience, knowledge, or access to cards that I do. The best thing that I ever did to walk the fine line between not visibly holding back and not going full power was that at locals one time, I played D/D/Ds and then one of my opponents was like a sixth grader or something, I don't know their actual age. They were playing some dark magician blue eyes anime deck stitched together out of random cards, and the whole thing wasn't even sleeved, so I never revealed that my deck could do anything more than fusion, heavily limiting myself while still holding the advantage, then bought him some sleeves and built him a more traditional Dark Magician deck. Just a possible example to help others out.
I watched a guy absolutely demolish a kid recently, but as soon as the match ended he turned around and handed the kid a copy of Infinite Impermanence and walked through building a whole new deck with him. I think that's a good way to handle it, there isn't really a 100% correct answer though.
@@Rebellions Yo that guy is awesome I don't think I could just hand a kid a 90 dollar card on a whim, although I guess if I saw that they had potential I would definitely help them build a.deck, or simply build them a deck entirely. I build a Dark Magician deck for somebody because their old one wasn't working, sure it took forever for us to both be at locals at the same time again but it eventually happened.
I know I'm late but something like this happened to me and my buddy in hs. My friend saw me doing test hands for a tournament and he asked me if I wanted to play a game against him so I agreed and we had our match. Now his deck was a dragon deck that wasnt super consistent and after the match I asked to see the deck and I tired to make it better using the cards he had. It ran better and I even helped him build a better deck.
This is only on a local level but... I hate the guy who calls a judge about the same ruling that comes up each week and then continues to complain when they get the same ruling week after week.
@@Beambamosu It's a ruling with Ultimate Conductor Tyranno vs face-down pendulum monsters when they are attacked. He keeps insisting they go to the graveyard when they go to the extra deck face up even though conductor says it sends them to the graveyard. He doesn't understand the pendulum mechanic at all.
@@Mr-ubs He also insists I can't fusion summon either using monsters that are face down on my side after being flipped face down by floodgate trap hole or by other means because they're considered "unknown" so yeah it's pretty annoying
I knew a guy that: Was adamant that monsters can only reach level 12, even though F.A. Motorhome Transport exists, Believed tokens weren't normal monsters, tried to kaiju even though he couldn't special summon, and thinks you need to tribute 3 to tribute summon summon ANY level 9 or higher monster
Yusei vs Leo from 5ds is a perfect example how to deal with children playing against you. Konami literally shows us the way we should behave in such situations.
Kids are definitely the most awkward, it's hard to play them. I played against one in zoo format. He was playing the geargia structure deck and I was playing 60 card lightsworn zoodiac deck. I had a had that was zoo combo plus grass. I didn't touch the zoo cards at all. I felt so bad.
@@johnnickfanaccount3492 its going easy based on skill level not age. If a new player comes in and you play ypur ten minute combo that ends in your opponent not being able to play or it kills them, do you think they want to keep playing the game? Do you think they want to keep playing against them?
I was doing bad at my locals with ba, and my last match was against a little kid who didn’t even knew how to play the game right. Game 1 I killed him easily, and game 2 he summoned BE using kaibaman, i was like “oh man nice play, I don’t have anything to beat it”(with a live dad, orbital in hand and enough resources to make borrel) and went to game 3
@@ultraatari9298 Imagine trying to make a 2017 world champion deck on YgoPro and finding out that half the deck is not makeable because they're all banned. Big oof

The one time I dueled against a kid, was when I was a returning player with a Neo-Parshath/guardian angel Joan beatdown deck and had never heard pendulum summons and synchros. He wiped me on his second turn. I don't think I'll ever go to a tournament. New mechanics are hard to learn
@@mikeywease9214 In the words of Seto Kaiba "Power is what this game is all about. Faith is for Losers - like your pathetic grandpa. In your entire deck there is not a single card which can stand up to the might of a Blue-Eyes White dragon... So what hope do you have against two?"
For me I feel awkward when dueling against someone who just goes on with their plays and don't give you a chance to respond. Like they'll start activating all their effects at once and when I ask them to slow down so I can respond to their cards, they'll just kinda sigh at me and get upset. Also I feel like I'm an awkward player cuz I'm still an amateur and I suck ass at the game still lmao
Nah, fuck that, you should have the chance to respond and consider something that might be a key combo piece to take out. If they get upset, they probably aren’t as sportsmanlike or just want to be carried by their cards.
Honest question to veteran players: Is it frustrating when your opponent needs to read every card you play, and ocasionally has to read through their own cards to confirm what they do? I tried returning to the game about six years ago and I felt like I was pissing everyone off.
Honest answer: Know your own deck. It's fine to check something once in a while, like whether something is a cost or not. But you should KNOW the general effects of all your cards. But reading your opponents cards should always be fine, especially if they play an uncommon deck
@@11wildy63 Fair enough. Things just got so complicated. When I quit I think Labyrinth of Nightmare was the newest booster; effects had gotten really wild and crazy since then.
Honestly I find a lot of help watching somebody play the deck/reading about the deck to get more familiar with the deck. Cimo has good intro videos for things like that.
Play online, know your cards, combos and plays. As the people above said, its not bad stop to read the cards sometimes, but you have to at least know your own deck, and playing online will make you know other cards too
"interaction" as in: >Taking away their starting hand like shooting at ducks on a sideshow game. >Locking them out of most of the cards in their deck and extra deck. >Setting up enough negates, to chop out their chances of victory.
Distracted players aren't that bad. When you started out in high school, stuff like this happens way too often to not get used to it. Salty players are probably the hardest to deal with. Some salty players understand they get salty and have ways to calm down and never get too bad. And others will straight up punch you over 1 card destruction. Also, never underestimate kids, ever. There are a lot of kids that think they're good and then you get those random prodigies that are just destined for greatness. It's kinda just a grab bag when it comes to children.
I think of the majority of.kids as having a lot of potential they just don't have the same resources as most older players, one of friends who is a few years older than me effectively gave me the cards to build my main deck of my childhood, and it worked well, it's just that Utopia isn't well known as a force to be reckoned with especially before The Lightning was an accessible card. I think Utopic Zexal wasn't even printed yet because we were calling it Zexal Hope.
Well it is a yu-gi-oh channel and Dzeef is speaking mostly from his experiences at yu-gi-oh tournaments, I know he plays a little pokemon and not much mtg but I doubt he has enough experience at tournaments of those games to know if these things are universal.
Half of those things in the "distracted opponent" would get someone dqed right away. Looking at your phone, for any reason while in a match, is grounds for at least a game loss, barring extenuating circumstances.
Almost without fail, every single time I mention Magic in a video I have someone correcting me in the comments. Even basic statements like "all Magic decks play lands" end up being the target for angry Magic players that love one-upping a Yugioh channel. Recently I've tried to steer clear from all references to other card games that I'm not as experienced with.
Playing against kids is tough. Last locals I went to I got matched up against a kid who (I don't know how to say this without sounding like an asshole) seemed like he had some kind of learning disability. I tried my best to explain rules to him when he made mistakes and let him take 1 of the 3 games, but that was probably the most stressful experience I've ever had playing yugioh. Like the fact that he missed so many of his own triggers and didn't count life points for himself made me feel bad and hope the regulars at that card shop weren't constantly taking advantage of him.
My first ever tourney and there was this little kid, his mom bought him some off the shelf deck and took him to a tournament but he had never dueled ever didn't know the rules or anything. I tried to teach him as I aued him, I didn't lose but I let him get close and taught him some combos on his next round. Then some older more experienced duelists came over to his mom to explain what's up and went in to cards they each had and together built him a deck that'd be viable
I always try to give some advice to new players/beginners when I can. But I think the most awkward opponent I ever faced was the kid that has LITERALLY no deck. Like, a kid showing up at my local store with his box of cards, sitting in front of me at the beginning of the tournament after registering, and asking my help to create a deck. Not really the right timing. I ended up lending him for the duration of the tournament a Superheavy Samurai deck I had in my bag. And he beat me with it after I explained him some of the combos of the deck...
I play lots of kids at locals and I always explain everything on all my cards, between games I’ll give em an explanation of a good place to stop my combo etc, at the end I’ll usually ask if they have trades and I’ll try to give them something good even if it costs me $5. I remember being that kid and I know how it would mean for somebody to do that to me and I try to help them as much as I can.
You kiddin? Decks like yours are fun to play against. I like people who break the mold and play really awkward/odd decks. They always have really awesome surprises and win or lose I have immense fun playing against those decks.
@@THEGRUMPTRUCK well its more of s self esteem issue, I know I'm a breath of fresh air for most, but that negative extreme is always something I'm concerned about.
No I'm talking about the people who have the sexually explicit mats of whatever anime girl they stroke their tiny dicks to. Having a mat of anime girls doesn't automatically make it sexual but the ones who go out of their way to make a bikini mat or whatever or pose them hyper sexually need to be euthanized
When someone reeks of so much death that you cannot concentrate anymore and make misplay after misplay because of it. No not as a stereotype, went to enough locals/regionals to know thats not a lot of people, surely less than 1% of players, but jesus christ. getting paired against one of them is pure hell and happened to me about a dozen times or so in the last 6-8 years. And because i am a little bitch and not one to call a judge on someone for that and just clench my nose and bite through it, but one time a couple of years ago at a regional i was genuinly getting dizzy just by the pure smell of the guy i dueled in round 2 and just scooped twice (lost round 1 already anyways and maybe gave up on the tournament in my head already somewhat, dropped x-3 after round 5 later) and just had to get fresh air.
I was most definitely that awkward kid that didn’t know what they were doing. My deck was a complete mess with no continuity whatsoever. I most definitely have learned over the years how trash it was and I’m sure I made the other players feel very awkward.
At least he can do that some kids at my regional can't even summon monsters correctly (sigh...) it's really sad watching those people struggle. And I meant the opponent, not the guy that can't summon a f***ing monster correctly.
I faced a kid in a regional tourney a couple of months ago. That's already an awkward matchup, and it was made worse by the fact that I was already X-2, so I couldn't afford to lose. It was torture.
I played at school, summoned a red eyes, she got mad and I got slapped. I just sat there and said “it’s your turn” and we kept playing like nothing happened… Fun
You could add those players who are overly boisterous. Not so much that they get salty, but in turn, make you salty. I know psychology plays a part sometimes in games, Yugioh in particular, but when they are purposely distracting players when playing, acting cocky or ignoring others, it can get very awkward on how to deal with that. Also, side note about kids; depending on age ranges, there are still those who will take advantage of their age and act innocent making you let your guard down. I have had that occur many times at regionals. I realized like in your other video that he traveled to compete just like I did so I don't sink to their level. Excellent video!
I thought he was gonna talk about players like "Deck-types" and Hero Kid's recent resurgence have been going +3, with Isolde, special summon effect, into some dumb ass FTK.
Honestly the kid thing is the opposite for me. The kids tore me and talked down to me since they played competatively. I quit until highschool (3/4th year) and I did meet a good group but they still beat me super fast. It sucked playing with competative people when the setting wasn't competitive and worst of all they (typically) beat me in 3 turns unless I got the few cards that says a monster can't be beated by battle but even then it didn't take long. They say they were going easy and yet that was complete bull carp. I stopped Yu Gi Oh again until I got a spending habbit and finally had a good set of friends able to chill with me during their plays.
Maybe you should start getting into the game yourself,I started with a strong deck but didn't know how to use it,so maybe try searching popular decks for beginners?
We have a sort of throwback Thursday at the place where I go to play and for the most part everyone is really chill. I run a dark magician deck. I built the deck up from scratch and I adore it. Its super fun to play. We had this one guy who came in and didn’t understand we were not having a tournament and were having a throwback Thursday. He loudly criticized every move I made. Called all of my cards garbage and was just loud and super annoying. He gave away my hand like twice and clearly couldn’t take a hint*I was nice at first but there’s a limit to my patience* I honest to god hope I never see him again. He made everyone tense and stressed when the whole point of having a throwback Thursday is to just have fun
Had this problem when I was still active in card tourneys in Magic: The Gathering and Cardfight Vanguard. Distracted opponent - suprisingly this rarely happens, since the players here are aware that the local tourney is treated as a serious event to prepare them for bigger tourneys. Confused/Returning opponent - This is me when I tried playing Yu-Gi-Oh again last year. On other games, it happened a couple of times to returning players in MTG, especially when they're out of the playing scene for months or years. Salty opponent - mostly happens after a match, very rare nowadays but I don't taunt them when this happens in-game. Kids - I love playing against them, in CFV the kids are strong. But in case they're starting, I play along but not holding back as they want to play against strong players to learn. Bored opponents - This usually don't happen in MTG, in case there's nothing more to do, concede then proceed with the next match. CFV, didn't encounter this at all.
You don't find many kids these days since the anime is pretty much dead in the west, so most kids don't have that 20 minute comercial telling them what to buy no matter how bad it is.
I had to face a kid at a local once, they had a deck of cards they pulled from a box, it wasn't even a deck really but instead of killing them I just sat there on cyber dragon infinity and just kept killing whatever they summoned and let them do what they wanted to do
Lol that happened to my friend to but he was playing a different deck then u it was funny because the kid was making what the cards do n my friend still won
I’ve been the bored guy before. Watch a guy play solitaire with himself for 9 minutes of combos when you know you’re just going to wipe his board next turn is not fun. It’s not intentional it’s legitimately boring
This happened at a local level tournament. My opponent spent the entire game telling me that I was cheating for using the Altergeist Silquitous and Altergeist Manifestation combo. After the game ended, he started telling everyone I had cheated him out of the game. The judge ruled against me. I still haven't gone back.
I wanna see the "Confused Guy" opponent in the actual anime. "I activate monster reborn, targeting my Rescue Cat, which triggers card of safe return, and then I can use red eyes fusion to-" "Hold on, what? Back up, lemme read some of those cards. The heck is a LINK Summon?"
For the last one I had that situation at locals the other night. My opponent and I were both X-2 so there wasn't any chance of us topping so he was pretty disinterested in the match. Me personally I'm always just the type of person who jokes around a lot so after a bit he cracked and started to have fun with the match.
I have faced so many distracted players that i'm sorta getting used to it but to me they are the most annoying ones to play against. Also I once dueled a little kid and while i won easely when i asked if he wanted me to up his deck with the spare cards i had on me he was as happy as could be
This video is true for more than Yugioh. Magic and even pokemon have this issue. As I said before. I don't Play Yugioh anymore but your content is so clean that watching it even without knowing the cards is a pleasure. Keep up the good work.
My friend searched Kuraz with Tenacity and I was like, can I read the card? And they said, yeah sure, and I tried to pick up the card and they wouldn't let me, so I tried explaining common knowledge to them, and they responded " actually it's not common knowledge since you don't know the effect." God, what the actual hell? I asked him to read it to me and he told me to read it myself while holding it far away from me, while I'm nearsighted to begin with.
@@ShuraEssays that's horrible. You were playing fair your friend was probably being rude.Especially when the card text is blurry. How expect to read a card from far away. That's cheap.
My personal big rules are *tell your opponent what your effects do when you activate it if they don't know what it does* and *give them a chance to respond if they can* - too often I see people putting a card on the field and then flipping through their deck without announcing they're searching, which just looks like you're casually picking up your deck for no reason; or when they're throwing card after card onto the field as fast as possible to stop you from, say, using Bottomless or Ash Blossom to break their combo and they insist "Nuh-uh, you didn't chain to this when I did it, so it doesn't count" ... yeah, because YOU didn't give me the chance to respond to anything! I don't hate fast playing because I get bored and want to just get their turns over with so I can take mine, but because that way they can get past any counter attempts I try by acting like I wasn't paying attention when they unleased their 10-card flurry within the last 15 seconds and didn't refer to what their cards do; if I were against a "bored player," I'd want to get the duel over with, too since I can't have fun with someone who acts like they hate being there, but there's punishing a jerk and then there's BEING the jerk by not letting an opponent try and counter your plays at all. Sure, not everyone in the game will have an encyclopaedic knowledge of every card ever made either, but simply saying short effect summaries *before or as* you make your play and giving your opponent the chance to redpond if they can is better than being an asshole.
I just take my opponent's word for what their cards do. It's faster. I also apologize for the time it takes to set up a board. I don't worry about losing. It's a game. Someone has to and it's fascinating to watch how other people's decks work.
I have a little quirk where I lay equip spells under a monster with the name of the equip just positioned above the monster name instead of leaving it in the adjacent backrow space. I prefer that way as I can keep track of what's equipped to what, a player got really salty about the way I was doing that which made me even more salty that they were having a pop at my organisation arrangements which really happen to satisfy me, telling me to play like he was is really awkward for me as I am autistic.
My favourite thing to do was explain to people when I was younger who didn't grasp how damage step worked when I played Bark of Dark Ruler and attacked with something weaker then the target, they kept insisting I lost because I drained my LP down and took battle damage. In one case I literally had to explain it like this: "See, now my LP goes away. Now your monster's attack goes away, now your remaining LP goes away, now you go away." because the kid kept insisting he "won" when I set his monster to 0 ATK and yeah, LONG recess that day.
That 1 opponent that only knows "anime rules" and refuses to accept official rules as fact. Or the opponent that tries to spin an effect their way because of a misplaced comma or period on the old versions (been seeing those a lot in a certain fangame so I might be biased to them)
Important questions. What is the deck size maximum limit in regional events ? What are the forbidden and limited lists for regionals ? Is it the same as national level or is it usually traditional ?
Decks must be between 40 and 60 cards. Traditional events don't really exist anywhere officially (other than very special occasions), so it's usually right to assume an event is played under the Advanced format ban list
The other day I went up against a guy who was not only visibly bored but he basically was playing solitaire during his turns AND had a lewd Dark Magician Girl mat.
Back when I played (DM era) I ran into the little kid. His opening move was to summon Harpie Lady in face up defense position. I thought about correcting him and maybe I should have so that he could learn... but I figured I couldn't possibly lose to someone who would do that and I was right Plus I was a preteen myself and the kid's mom was sitting at the table so I didnt want to make her mad
I know how I interpret words and grammar but that does not apply well to card rulings that often feel like the person that made the rule failed to realize what langue they were writing in and lost me somewhere in the sentence.
I got my share of salty opponents back in my locals lol... beating them felt really good: 1. vs. a guy who was using a trash Kuraz deck that keeps drawing but has no win-con, and he got salty because I kept having Honest (Honest was at 3 back then) to kill whatever he's attacking my Neos Alius with, saying "Enjoy Honest while it lasts.". 2. vs. a guy who played Infernities back when the deck was still hot out of The Shining Darkness and I'm using Hero Beat with Absolute Zero (which was the only Omni-Hero that was available in the TCG at that time). I won because he topdecked DAD, and I Solemn Judgment it. He insisted that he can use Priority first to use DAD's effect and I said "lolbro you can't it's negated". He still insisted until I called the judge and the judge said that DAD can't do shit because it got negated. Then the guy went "You win just because of SHEER. DUMB. LUCK" and I was like, "Uh dude you're playing the most OP deck atm and managed to have Infernity Launchers in your first turn." 3. vs. a guy that is known to be a cocky, shit-talking guy who trash talks when he's winning and is a very sore loser if he loses. He was playing Gravekeepers and I was playing Blackwings, and GKs were busted at that time because it was post Storm of Ragnarok where they got busted cards like Recruiter and Descendant, also that card that made both players discard every card that are not Gravekeepers. Long story short, he used Heavy Storm on my 3-4 card backrow IIRC, and I Starlight Road it and got Stardust Dragon out and I won because of that. He got salty and said "OMG Blackwings are so busted bla bla bla all the deck does is this this and this!" I was like "Says the guy who uses the Descendant + Recruiter loop everytime lol". He stormed out of the store and I pulled Glow-Up Bulb from my prize packs (That card was mad expensive back then). 4. This guy's not that salty, in fact he's a regular on weekly tournaments and is a nice guy and he was so obsessed with Dragons. He was playing Chaos Dragons and I played Inzecters back when Hornet and Dragonfly was still guns blazing at 3. Long story short, one game I used the loop with the Zektkalibur to summon like, 3 Hoppers to my field and in the middle of my play he just signs the W/L sheet and scoops. I felt dirty and bad for him at the same time.
Number one on this list: people who deliberately stall just to run the clock down so they can win when time gets called by playing a LP gain card like Dian Keto, OR a cheesy burn card like Sparks.
@@bluefable3416 every regional i go to theres always that one shark who foesnt seem to enjoy the game at all. Nervous and unresponsive, if you dont enjoy yugioh why are you even there?
TBH I like playing against kids (mostly because we're at the same skill level) I've always liked being some kid's inspiration to play or get better. So much so that when I was more active, I would intentionally make worse plays, but still provide situations that have my young opponent to think things through. I'd have shorter turns because I want them to show off the deck they brought and to feel like they're playing the game like how I used to during the Playground days. Of course, if a kid gets too cocky, I'll dial it up a bit, but for someone relatively knew, I just want to encourage them to have fun and hopefully they'll enter more tournaments and gain more exp(especially since I really can't; competition anxiety). I also get to play some cheesy, super fun and not-competitive-in-the-slightest decks against younger players. After, I'd usually give the kid some generally good and low cost cards(especially if I had extras), I'd say something like "that was a fun game, here's a few cards that I think can help your deck out" and explain what the cards do. Plus, what kid doesn't like getting trading cards, even if they're not the best. I basically act like the kind of player I would've like to have met when I was a kid and just generally give someone a friend. It's less awkward and more fun IMO. Who knows, that kid who knows nothing now might end up winning a Regional one day
When I play against kids at locals, there are two things that seem to keep their mood up. Asking them if they have responses to things and contemplating your moves just a little longer than normal. Even if I have an immediate out to their board or know they don’t have a response I’ll always ask. “Response?” Or take an extra 3-5 seconds making my play.
The distracted opponent and the bored opponent are why I quit going to my locals. So ridiculous. I was trying to duel this one woman who was not only eating but having a conversation with 3 people beside her, while texting, while she was playing a popular deck but I'd never fought against before (Monarchs right after they got all that support) so she wasn't explaining any of her cards or giving me time to respond to plays. I called the judge over and he sided with her. Made me so salty. She didn't say anything until the judge got there and then she was very attentive. Where was that attitude 3 minutes ago??
I once played against an amputee at a regional who lost his right hand and I wasn't able to stop reminding myself to extend my left hand for the handshake at the end of the game instead of my right
that one opponent that loves to throw cards into the ocean because he is obsessed with insects and read titanic way too much.

at my school we had a small tournament and someone tried to flip a table
@@nikeno115 I thought that Flipping the Table was an anime-only card.
@@chaoslacky1585 someone had to much hot sauce
The kids thing is the big reason why I quit going to the only Local in my area. Whenever there is a kid there, the Veterans would just be douches trying to sell/trade the Holo/Anime cards to the kids, in exchange for actually good cards that the kids own. Heck a kid drew an Ash blossom and traded it for a Dark Magician cuse he didn't know better.
Of course there's always the arguement, its a worthy trade as long as the kid gets their fun from it, but that in my opinion is just an excuse to rip off kids.
Playing against them was usually fine, everyone held back, and even accepted the kids just playing Blue-Eyes withotu Tribute costs, cuse most of the kids had no idea how the game worked.
The big thing was really though when I got between the greedy douches and explained the value of their cards to the kids and so forth. I was hated by the others for cucking their ripoff success.
So overall, while I am still sad that I can't really go to a local anymore, I am very happy to never have to see those douches anymore who only care about money and don't even hold back, or even hold a grudge against you, when you stop them from ripping off little kids.
Just...be nice to people alright? Don't rip them off, even if you can. "It's like stealing candy from a kid." Is probably the most fitting thing to say here. Its not something you should do. And you should feel bad for doing it! Keep in mind that we were all kids back then and that Yugioh needs to keep growing it's community. So what better way than to help the kids and teach them, rather than screw them over! Who knows, maybe they end up helping you out someday for it?
Basil thank you for your help with the kids dude! I know I've personally been ripped off as a kid by others because I didn't know better and it's heartwarming knowing that people like you will stand up for us. Thanks again!
I had a brionac in Nekroz format and some dude got me to trade it for a quasar and some other cheap stuff so I feel that kids pain threefold. It wasn't even a Jump Quasar!
You did what you have to do. Those people should be ashamed of themselves for ripping of children
@@darkyumenine729 Let me clarify, NEKROZ OF BRIONAC. The 150 dollar card back in Nekroz format.
When I was little and went to locals (I must have been 12 at the most because it was still the synchro era), I played a Jaden deck of Heros, Neospacians and fucking Evil Heros, all in one because I didn't know better and this one douche practically spat in my face for doing so. Yeah, the deck was shit but he had no sympathy for someone not knowing fundamentals of card advantage, consistency or whatever. Everyone else was really nice, though.
Also My brother played a low budged version of TeleDAD leaning more towards Destiny Heros and Synchros like Goyo... his other deck was GraveKeeper Stun...

I play MTG, but a lot of this still applies. The best way Ive found to play against younger kids is to give them any prize packs I get afterwards, it always seems to make there night getting an extra 2-4 packs.
I don't oftain play against younger players, but if my third match in a prerelease is against a person newer to the game, and I win, I'll usually give them a pack or 2. Obviously, I don't do this if they were acting overly toxic, but if I can make a person happy with a bit of product, I don't mind
To trade, or not to trade?
Once upon a time, there was a teenager card collector who has alot of money to collect them all. He came to an old card shop and found a card that he really wanted. The owner were an old man. The teenager offer him a suitcase full of his rarest collection to trade with that card, but the owner refused. Needless to say that the teenager's upset.
Days later, the teenager abducted the old man and tortured him to submission, taking the long-desired card he longed since he begin his cards collecting journey. Corrupted by his greed, he ripped the said card, the last card of the only 4 in the world. Because he knew the value. Because he knew, how horrible it will be to face one as his opponent. But then guess what? Years later, the teenager become the best duelist in the world, second only to the grandchild of the card shop owner.
If only the card shop owner accepted the trade in the first place, none of this would have happen. The old man would plusses so much from that trade, and the boy would be more than happy to own that card!
But then, the journey would never started. The boy would never become the duelist known by the world by his power and teached the next generation of duelist through academy he founded years later.
Moral of the story:
Life will found it's way. Journeys and adventures begins from a decision, no matter which you take, it will be priceless experience, or you could call it, a *GOLDEN EXPERIENCE* .

I find playing against kids very difficult, because I don't know how most kids think, but if I were a kid and you went easy on me, I would be upset that you weren't taking me seriously at all. But I also don't want to obliterate people who don't have the experience, knowledge, or access to cards that I do. The best thing that I ever did to walk the fine line between not visibly holding back and not going full power was that at locals one time, I played D/D/Ds and then one of my opponents was like a sixth grader or something, I don't know their actual age. They were playing some dark magician blue eyes anime deck stitched together out of random cards, and the whole thing wasn't even sleeved, so I never revealed that my deck could do anything more than fusion, heavily limiting myself while still holding the advantage, then bought him some sleeves and built him a more traditional Dark Magician deck. Just a possible example to help others out.
I bought some for a kid to n a deck box he was using a tin for a deck box
I watched a guy absolutely demolish a kid recently, but as soon as the match ended he turned around and handed the kid a copy of Infinite Impermanence and walked through building a whole new deck with him.
I think that's a good way to handle it, there isn't really a 100% correct answer though.
@@Rebellions Yo that guy is awesome I don't think I could just hand a kid a 90 dollar card on a whim, although I guess if I saw that they had potential I would definitely help them build a.deck, or simply build them a deck entirely. I build a Dark Magician deck for somebody because their old one wasn't working, sure it took forever for us to both be at locals at the same time again but it eventually happened.
I know I'm late but something like this happened to me and my buddy in hs. My friend saw me doing test hands for a tournament and he asked me if I wanted to play a game against him so I agreed and we had our match. Now his deck was a dragon deck that wasnt super consistent and after the match I asked to see the deck and I tired to make it better using the cards he had. It ran better and I even helped him build a better deck.
This is only on a local level but... I hate the guy who calls a judge about the same ruling that comes up each week and then continues to complain when they get the same ruling week after week.

@@Beambamosu It's a ruling with Ultimate Conductor Tyranno vs face-down pendulum monsters when they are attacked.

@@Mr-ubs He also insists I can't fusion summon either using monsters that are face down on my side after being flipped face down by floodgate trap hole or by other means because they're considered "unknown" so yeah it's pretty annoying

For me I feel awkward when dueling against someone who just goes on with their plays and don't give you a chance to respond. Like they'll start activating all their effects at once and when I ask them to slow down so I can respond to their cards, they'll just kinda sigh at me and get upset. Also I feel like I'm an awkward player cuz I'm still an amateur and I suck ass at the game still lmao
Nah, fuck that, you should have the chance to respond and consider something that might be a key combo piece to take out. If they get upset, they probably aren’t as sportsmanlike or just want to be carried by their cards.
Honest question to veteran players: Is it frustrating when your opponent needs to read every card you play, and ocasionally has to read through their own cards to confirm what they do? I tried returning to the game about six years ago and I felt like I was pissing everyone off.
Honest answer: Know your own deck. It's fine to check something once in a while, like whether something is a cost or not. But you should KNOW the general effects of all your cards. But reading your opponents cards should always be fine, especially if they play an uncommon deck
@@11wildy63 Fair enough. Things just got so complicated. When I quit I think Labyrinth of Nightmare was the newest booster; effects had gotten really wild and crazy since then.
Honestly I find a lot of help watching somebody play the deck/reading about the deck to get more familiar with the deck. Cimo has good intro videos for things like that.
Play online, know your cards, combos and plays. As the people above said, its not bad stop to read the cards sometimes, but you have to at least know your own deck, and playing online will make you know other cards too

Distracted players aren't that bad. When you started out in high school, stuff like this happens way too often to not get used to it.
Salty players are probably the hardest to deal with. Some salty players understand they get salty and have ways to calm down and never get too bad. And others will straight up punch you over 1 card destruction.
Also, never underestimate kids, ever. There are a lot of kids that think they're good and then you get those random prodigies that are just destined for greatness. It's kinda just a grab bag when it comes to children.
I think of the majority of.kids as having a lot of potential they just don't have the same resources as most older players, one of friends who is a few years older than me effectively gave me the cards to build my main deck of my childhood, and it worked well, it's just that Utopia isn't well known as a force to be reckoned with especially before The Lightning was an accessible card. I think Utopic Zexal wasn't even printed yet because we were calling it Zexal Hope.
To be fair, these tips apply to Magic the Gathering, Pokemon and basically every card game. Video title should just say 5 card game tips or something
Well it is a yu-gi-oh channel and Dzeef is speaking mostly from his experiences at yu-gi-oh tournaments, I know he plays a little pokemon and not much mtg but I doubt he has enough experience at tournaments of those games to know if these things are universal.
Half of those things in the "distracted opponent" would get someone dqed right away. Looking at your phone, for any reason while in a match, is grounds for at least a game loss, barring extenuating circumstances.

Playing against kids is tough. Last locals I went to I got matched up against a kid who (I don't know how to say this without sounding like an asshole) seemed like he had some kind of learning disability. I tried my best to explain rules to him when he made mistakes and let him take 1 of the 3 games, but that was probably the most stressful experience I've ever had playing yugioh. Like the fact that he missed so many of his own triggers and didn't count life points for himself made me feel bad and hope the regulars at that card shop weren't constantly taking advantage of him.
"You don't want to be the bad guy"
I'm sorry, my Ric Flair shirt and I don't understand this sentence.

One of the more important vids dzeeff's done tbh, just reminding people about good sportsmanship and keeping the community positive.
My first ever tourney and there was this little kid, his mom bought him some off the shelf deck and took him to a tournament but he had never dueled ever didn't know the rules or anything. I tried to teach him as I aued him, I didn't lose but I let him get close and taught him some combos on his next round. Then some older more experienced duelists came over to his mom to explain what's up and went in to cards they each had and together built him a deck that'd be viable
I always try to give some advice to new players/beginners when I can. But I think the most awkward opponent I ever faced was the kid that has LITERALLY no deck. Like, a kid showing up at my local store with his box of cards, sitting in front of me at the beginning of the tournament after registering, and asking my help to create a deck. Not really the right timing.
I ended up lending him for the duration of the tournament a Superheavy Samurai deck I had in my bag. And he beat me with it after I explained him some of the combos of the deck...
I play lots of kids at locals and I always explain everything on all my cards, between games I’ll give em an explanation of a good place to stop my combo etc, at the end I’ll usually ask if they have trades and I’ll try to give them something good even if it costs me $5. I remember being that kid and I know how it would mean for somebody to do that to me and I try to help them as much as I can.
Sometimes I feel like I annoy people by running weird strategies cause I can't afford big decks, like I feel like I'm not worth dueling.

When someone reeks of so much death that you cannot concentrate anymore and make misplay after misplay because of it.
No not as a stereotype, went to enough locals/regionals to know thats not a lot of people, surely less than 1% of players, but jesus christ. getting paired against one of them is pure hell and happened to me about a dozen times or so in the last 6-8 years.
And because i am a little bitch and not one to call a judge on someone for that and just clench my nose and bite through it, but one time a couple of years ago at a regional i was genuinly getting dizzy just by the pure smell of the guy i dueled in round 2 and just scooped twice (lost round 1 already anyways and maybe gave up on the tournament in my head already somewhat, dropped x-3 after round 5 later) and just had to get fresh air.
Getting Sweaty is a legitimate strategy. Just look at Smash Bros Tpurnaments Kappa
I once use pendulum summon on a kid and he was like "How the fuck can you summon many monsters in 1 turn??!!"
I was most definitely that awkward kid that didn’t know what they were doing. My deck was a complete mess with no continuity whatsoever. I most definitely have learned over the years how trash it was and I’m sure I made the other players feel very awkward.
9:34 *oh nice you normal summoned. **_good job_*
At least he can do that some kids at my regional can't even summon monsters correctly (sigh...) it's really sad watching those people struggle. And I meant the opponent, not the guy that can't summon a f***ing monster correctly.

I faced a kid in a regional tourney a couple of months ago. That's already an awkward matchup, and it was made worse by the fact that I was already X-2, so I couldn't afford to lose.

all i could think about when you were talking about dueling little kids was jesse kotton's feature from London
Is that the one where he was getting burn for damage and that point he knew he was screwed?
You could add those players who are overly boisterous. Not so much that they get salty, but in turn, make you salty. I know psychology plays a part sometimes in games, Yugioh in particular, but when they are purposely distracting players when playing, acting cocky or ignoring others, it can get very awkward on how to deal with that.
Also, side note about kids; depending on age ranges, there are still those who will take advantage of their age and act innocent making you let your guard down. I have had that occur many times at regionals. I realized like in your other video that he traveled to compete just like I did so I don't sink to their level.
Excellent video!
Ah yes, I remember seeing this kid with his 96-card, dark magician/ritual/dragon/synchro/xyz/fusion/junk/warrior deck... (True story)
I saw Hero Kids in the thumbnail I had to click.
I thought he was gonna talk about players like "Deck-types" and Hero Kid's recent resurgence have been going +3, with Isolde, special summon effect, into some dumb ass FTK.
Honestly the kid thing is the opposite for me. The kids tore me and talked down to me since they played competatively. I quit until highschool (3/4th year) and I did meet a good group but they still beat me super fast. It sucked playing with competative people when the setting wasn't competitive and worst of all they (typically) beat me in 3 turns unless I got the few cards that says a monster can't be beated by battle but even then it didn't take long. They say they were going easy and yet that was complete bull carp. I stopped Yu Gi Oh again until I got a spending habbit and finally had a good set of friends able to chill with me during their plays.
I've never owned a single original card or played in any sort of event, but watching these videos are still so fun and interesting
Maybe you should start getting into the game yourself,I started with a strong deck but didn't know how to use it,so maybe try searching popular decks for beginners?
We have a sort of throwback Thursday at the place where I go to play and for the most part everyone is really chill. I run a dark magician deck. I built the deck up from scratch and I adore it. Its super fun to play. We had this one guy who came in and didn’t understand we were not having a tournament and were having a throwback Thursday. He loudly criticized every move I made. Called all of my cards garbage and was just loud and super annoying. He gave away my hand like twice and clearly couldn’t take a hint*I was nice at first but there’s a limit to my patience* I honest to god hope I never see him again. He made everyone tense and stressed when the whole point of having a throwback Thursday is to just have fun
Dueling a little kid? Beat them, Beat them as harshly as possible. No mercy. Afterwards congratulate and tell them they did well.
Had this problem when I was still active in card tourneys in Magic: The Gathering and Cardfight Vanguard.
Distracted opponent - suprisingly this rarely happens, since the players here are aware that the local tourney is treated as a serious event to prepare them for bigger tourneys.
Confused/Returning opponent - This is me when I tried playing Yu-Gi-Oh again last year. On other games, it happened a couple of times to returning players in MTG, especially when they're out of the playing scene for months or years.
Salty opponent - mostly happens after a match, very rare nowadays but I don't taunt them when this happens in-game.
Kids - I love playing against them, in CFV the kids are strong. But in case they're starting, I play along but not holding back as they want to play against strong players to learn.
Bored opponents - This usually don't happen in MTG, in case there's nothing more to do, concede then proceed with the next match. CFV, didn't encounter this at all.
i see alot of the comments about the kids thing. does yugioh not have age divisions like pokemon does?
It does, but the kids aren't required to enter the younger bracket
You don't find many kids these days since the anime is pretty much dead in the west, so most kids don't have that 20 minute comercial telling them what to buy no matter how bad it is.
He said it the famous line
"Children's card game"
I had to face a kid at a local once, they had a deck of cards they pulled from a box, it wasn't even a deck really but instead of killing them I just sat there on cyber dragon infinity and just kept killing whatever they summoned and let them do what they wanted to do
I played kids at locals and they just continued to cheat on us.
Lol that happened to my friend to but he was playing a different deck then u it was funny because the kid was making what the cards do n my friend still won
@@captaincaterpie dude you fought Weevil Underwood
@@orangeboy1436 they through my exodia cards in the ocean
I’ve been the bored guy before. Watch a guy play solitaire with himself for 9 minutes of combos when you know you’re just going to wipe his board next turn is not fun. It’s not intentional it’s legitimately boring
This happened at a local level tournament. My opponent spent the entire game telling me that I was cheating for using the Altergeist Silquitous and Altergeist Manifestation combo. After the game ended, he started telling everyone I had cheated him out of the game. The judge ruled against me. I still haven't gone back.
I wanna see the "Confused Guy" opponent in the actual anime.
"I activate monster reborn, targeting my Rescue Cat, which triggers card of safe return, and then I can use red eyes fusion to-"
"Hold on, what? Back up, lemme read some of those cards. The heck is a LINK Summon?"
"Do I look like I know what a co-link is?"
@@johnapple6646 I just want to tribute summon my god damn Blue Eyes
For the last one I had that situation at locals the other night. My opponent and I were both X-2 so there wasn't any chance of us topping so he was pretty disinterested in the match. Me personally I'm always just the type of person who jokes around a lot so after a bit he cracked and started to have fun with the match.
*thanks for the Ted Talk coach*
One that I encountered last week was "The player who cries when you win"
I have faced so many distracted players that i'm sorta getting used to it but to me they are the most annoying ones to play against. Also I once dueled a little kid and while i won easely when i asked if he wanted me to up his deck with the spare cards i had on me he was as happy as could be
This video is true for more than Yugioh. Magic and even pokemon have this issue. As I said before. I don't Play Yugioh anymore but your content is so clean that watching it even without knowing the cards is a pleasure. Keep up the good work.
Some might think that's cheating reading your opponent card effect. That happened to me once ling time ago. Awesome video.
My friend searched Kuraz with Tenacity and I was like, can I read the card? And they said, yeah sure, and I tried to pick up the card and they wouldn't let me, so I tried explaining common knowledge to them, and they responded " actually it's not common knowledge since you don't know the effect." God, what the actual hell? I asked him to read it to me and he told me to read it myself while holding it far away from me, while I'm nearsighted to begin with.
@@ShuraEssays that's horrible. You were playing fair your friend was probably being rude.Especially when the card text is blurry. How expect to read a card from far away. That's cheap.
At my Regionals today I played a guy that trashed on my deck while I stomped a mudhole in his ass for 40 minutes and 2-0d him.
My personal big rules are *tell your opponent what your effects do when you activate it if they don't know what it does* and *give them a chance to respond if they can* - too often I see people putting a card on the field and then flipping through their deck without announcing they're searching, which just looks like you're casually picking up your deck for no reason; or when they're throwing card after card onto the field as fast as possible to stop you from, say, using Bottomless or Ash Blossom to break their combo and they insist "Nuh-uh, you didn't chain to this when I did it, so it doesn't count" ... yeah, because YOU didn't give me the chance to respond to anything!
I don't hate fast playing because I get bored and want to just get their turns over with so I can take mine, but because that way they can get past any counter attempts I try by acting like I wasn't paying attention when they unleased their 10-card flurry within the last 15 seconds and didn't refer to what their cards do; if I were against a "bored player," I'd want to get the duel over with, too since I can't have fun with someone who acts like they hate being there, but there's punishing a jerk and then there's BEING the jerk by not letting an opponent try and counter your plays at all.
Sure, not everyone in the game will have an encyclopaedic knowledge of every card ever made either, but simply saying short effect summaries *before or as* you make your play and giving your opponent the chance to redpond if they can is better than being an asshole.
I just take my opponent's word for what their cards do. It's faster.
I also apologize for the time it takes to set up a board.
I don't worry about losing. It's a game. Someone has to and it's fascinating to watch how other people's decks work.
I have a little quirk where I lay equip spells under a monster with the name of the equip just positioned above the monster name instead of leaving it in the adjacent backrow space. I prefer that way as I can keep track of what's equipped to what, a player got really salty about the way I was doing that which made me even more salty that they were having a pop at my organisation arrangements which really happen to satisfy me, telling me to play like he was is really awkward for me as I am autistic.
My favourite thing to do was explain to people when I was younger who didn't grasp how damage step worked when I played Bark of Dark Ruler and attacked with something weaker then the target, they kept insisting I lost because I drained my LP down and took battle damage. In one case I literally had to explain it like this: "See, now my LP goes away. Now your monster's attack goes away, now your remaining LP goes away, now you go away." because the kid kept insisting he "won" when I set his monster to 0 ATK and yeah, LONG recess that day.
You sound soo much like Ossa from Dan Plan, i will be not surprised if youre really him
That 1 opponent that only knows "anime rules" and refuses to accept official rules as fact.
Or the opponent that tries to spin an effect their way because of a misplaced comma or period on the old versions
(been seeing those a lot in a certain fangame so I might be biased to them)
Important questions. What is the deck size maximum limit in regional events ? What are the forbidden and limited lists for regionals ? Is it the same as national level or is it usually traditional ?
Decks must be between 40 and 60 cards. Traditional events don't really exist anywhere officially (other than very special occasions), so it's usually right to assume an event is played under the Advanced format ban list
The other day I went up against a guy who was not only visibly bored but he basically was playing solitaire during his turns AND had a lewd Dark Magician Girl mat.
Definition of a 'confused player' ....
"WHATDOYA MEAN MST DOESN'T NEGATE????? I call bullshit, JUDDGGGEEE"
Back when I played (DM era) I ran into the little kid. His opening move was to summon Harpie Lady in face up defense position. I thought about correcting him and maybe I should have so that he could learn... but I figured I couldn't possibly lose to someone who would do that and I was right
Plus I was a preteen myself and the kid's mom was sitting at the table so I didnt want to make her mad
I know how I interpret words and grammar but that does not apply well to card rulings that often feel like the person that made the rule failed to realize what langue they were writing in and lost me somewhere in the sentence.

I got my share of salty opponents back in my locals lol... beating them felt really good:
1. vs. a guy who was using a trash Kuraz deck that keeps drawing but has no win-con, and he got salty because I kept having Honest (Honest was at 3 back then) to kill whatever he's attacking my Neos Alius with, saying "Enjoy Honest while it lasts.".
2. vs. a guy who played Infernities back when the deck was still hot out of The Shining Darkness and I'm using Hero Beat with Absolute Zero (which was the only Omni-Hero that was available in the TCG at that time). I won because he topdecked DAD, and I Solemn Judgment it. He insisted that he can use Priority first to use DAD's effect and I said "lolbro you can't it's negated". He still insisted until I called the judge and the judge said that DAD can't do shit because it got negated. Then the guy went "You win just because of SHEER. DUMB. LUCK" and I was like, "Uh dude you're playing the most OP deck atm and managed to have Infernity Launchers in your first turn."
3. vs. a guy that is known to be a cocky, shit-talking guy who trash talks when he's winning and is a very sore loser if he loses. He was playing Gravekeepers and I was playing Blackwings, and GKs were busted at that time because it was post Storm of Ragnarok where they got busted cards like Recruiter and Descendant, also that card that made both players discard every card that are not Gravekeepers. Long story short, he used Heavy Storm on my 3-4 card backrow IIRC, and I Starlight Road it and got Stardust Dragon out and I won because of that. He got salty and said "OMG Blackwings are so busted bla bla bla all the deck does is this this and this!" I was like "Says the guy who uses the Descendant + Recruiter loop everytime lol". He stormed out of the store and I pulled Glow-Up Bulb from my prize packs (That card was mad expensive back then).
4. This guy's not that salty, in fact he's a regular on weekly tournaments and is a nice guy and he was so obsessed with Dragons. He was playing Chaos Dragons and I played Inzecters back when Hornet and Dragonfly was still guns blazing at 3. Long story short, one game I used the loop with the Zektkalibur to summon like, 3 Hoppers to my field and in the middle of my play he just signs the W/L sheet and scoops. I felt dirty and bad for him at the same time.
Number one on this list: people who deliberately stall just to run the clock down so they can win when time gets called by playing a LP gain card like Dian Keto, OR a cheesy burn card like Sparks.
8:03 -9:43 *looks to when Jesse used the danger ftk against a kid using a soul fusion sneak peak*
The most awkward moment i had was some guy who made a realy good salamangreat board...but the card he used to start the combo was a hard once per turn
Its awkward when plaaying people who take the game too seriously
I mean if it at a local that might be a problem,but if you don't play seriously at a tourney why are you even there?
@@bluefable3416 every regional i go to theres always that one shark who foesnt seem to enjoy the game at all. Nervous and unresponsive, if you dont enjoy yugioh why are you even there?
TBH I like playing against kids
(mostly because we're at the same skill level)
I've always liked being some kid's inspiration to play or get better. So much so that when I was more active, I would intentionally make worse plays, but still provide situations that have my young opponent to think things through. I'd have shorter turns because I want them to show off the deck they brought and to feel like they're playing the game like how I used to during the Playground days. Of course, if a kid gets too cocky, I'll dial it up a bit, but for someone relatively knew, I just want to encourage them to have fun and hopefully they'll enter more tournaments and gain more exp(especially since I really can't; competition anxiety). I also get to play some cheesy, super fun and not-competitive-in-the-slightest decks against younger players. After, I'd usually give the kid some generally good and low cost cards(especially if I had extras), I'd say something like "that was a fun game, here's a few cards that I think can help your deck out" and explain what the cards do. Plus, what kid doesn't like getting trading cards, even if they're not the best.
I basically act like the kind of player I would've like to have met when I was a kid and just generally give someone a friend. It's less awkward and more fun IMO. Who knows, that kid who knows nothing now might end up winning a Regional one day
For the first one, I had someone criticize me of talking too much, while they were trading with their friend IN THE MIDDLE OF A DUEL!!!
When I play against kids at locals, there are two things that seem to keep their mood up. Asking them if they have responses to things and contemplating your moves just a little longer than normal. Even if I have an immediate out to their board or know they don’t have a response I’ll always ask. “Response?” Or take an extra 3-5 seconds making my play.
The distracted opponent and the bored opponent are why I quit going to my locals. So ridiculous. I was trying to duel this one woman who was not only eating but having a conversation with 3 people beside her, while texting, while she was playing a popular deck but I'd never fought against before (Monarchs right after they got all that support) so she wasn't explaining any of her cards or giving me time to respond to plays. I called the judge over and he sided with her. Made me so salty. She didn't say anything until the judge got there and then she was very attentive. Where was that attitude 3 minutes ago??
I was hoping you were building up to a joke where the most awkward people to duel against are celebrities/yugitubers.
I once played against an amputee at a regional who lost his right hand and I wasn't able to stop reminding myself to extend my left hand for the handshake at the end of the game instead of my right
