      They advertised speed duels irl in duel links. But realistically if there's no prizes or incentive to buy the "speed duel" cards why spend the money when I can continue to play DL for free? So I think what they're trying to do is bring DL players to the physical card game.

    I took a very similar stance on this, glad to see the realism. Speed duels are VERY exciting, but the organized play is sorely lacking. YCS wont be near many peoples areas so investing in product to play just in side events is lack luster. It needs a big main event like a YCS to generate hype.

    I dunno, man.
    I've been playing Speed Duel format through Duel Links, and it's probably the most fun I've had with Yu-Gi-Oh! in a long time.
    Actual back and forth play really makes the game shine for me, and the character skill system makes it really feel like the show.
    The reason you don't hear about all these tournaments for it is because this is meant to be the casual man's Yu-Gi-Oh!. Having tournaments for it will just attract a bunch of competitive players. And that would defeat the purpose of Speed Duels being made for casuals to have fun in a tryhard-free environment. It's just meant to be a fun kitchen table Yu-Gi-Oh! experience where you can basically roleplay as your favorite characters from the show, nothing more. A "meta" would sorta just ruin it.
    And if they reboot the anime, I'd want it to be more accurate to the manga. Cuz the anime we got was barely accurate to the manga at all.

  • @TTRPGSarvis
    @TTRPGSarvis 5 років тому +189

    I'm going to get a lot of flak for saying this on a channel with a lot of competitive players, but I've had more fun speed dueling with friends than I've had playing the TCG in years. Konami should definitely put more focus on speed duels, and even if the anime isn't rebooting, the next series should still make that the main focus.

      @SubPhoenix 5 років тому +12

      couldn't agree more. the anime should focus on speed duel format. if new players see the anime and want to learn the game its overwhelming. Speed duel format keeps it simple for teaching new players.
      speed duels need a massive boost in available cards. i think of something like battle pack 3 that had over 200 cards in the set. arena of lost souls only has 50 new cards to add... that is less cards than 1 of the starter boxes. we also need more than 6 characters. They need to rush out way more starter decks. We don't even know if any new characters are coming other than bonz...

      Don't worry bro, you shouldn't get flack for this. As a competitive TCG player, I can say that those of us who aren't toxic don't attack the more casual players unless the latter talks shit. Saying that speed duels are more fun is not talking shit, just a harmless opinion, which some competitive players can actually agree with.
      However, those guys who left the game and say it sucks or that it's "degenerate" or any other mindless, hateful insult deserve all the lack they get and much, much more. It's okay to have an opinion, but it's just not okay to say it's better than other opinions.
      Well, what I'm saying that is that Yugioh is about fun mate, not political correctness. I mean, politics, very shitty politics, do exist in Yugioh, but they shouldn't interfere with the lives of sensible players. Never be afraid of toxic bitches, bro.

    @chrissteele6878 5 років тому +4

    I'm actually a new player who has only played a few games before now getting into the game. Speed Duels was actually the first product that I bought to sort of learn the game. I really enjoy it because of the quick stripped down nature and I feel it's easier to get people to play it because of those rules as opposed to normal yugioh which is fairly heavy for beginners I feel. So I really hope that they support and promote the product more so that new players like me or older returning players can also have something to enjoy at a casual or competitive level.

  • @duskyer2391
    @duskyer2391 5 років тому +61

    I enjoy Duel links because it brings it back to a time where you can play the game. You know. Instead of watching your enemy summon quasar dragon or a buncha extra deck monsters in one. Modern day duels are more a spectacle instead of a battle. In duel links I actually had heart of the card moments and it felt so good.
    I had my Level 8 Silent Magician taken by the enemy's Relinquished and he just destroyed my last monster. All I had was Dark Valkyria in my hand and a field spell that stacked Spell Counters. At that turn I drew Supervise which equips to Gemini Monsters giving them their effect. I stacked enough spell counters to destroy all his monsters and win the duel.
    That duel was intense because anything could happen. Nowadays Yugioh has become more like Chess where you try to Checkmate instead of battle. It's boring when you know you're gonna win or lose. I don't get the same satisfaction of a well fought duel playing current TCG anymore.
    UPDATE: They've since added prepaid decks that give really strong cards. Playing rank you'll most likely run into people who use these prepaid decks. Since I've played regularly I have the cards to deal with them without paying much, but for newer players who don't pay they'll most likely lose. Really bad on the games part. They're really pushing the pay to win early despite you not needing too if you play long enough.

      No I refuse to walk through the nostalgia for the 3rd time. They haven't got the first one right, so why are we even going to keep pushing it aside and just start over. They did with duel links and look at that. They are constantly replaying power creep to kill a game that's already been dead. Their is no "fun" in competitive Yu-Gi-Oh. Which last time I checked competitive games are suppose to keep you wanting to play... Which we are in a state of death in this game. Change my mind

    • @SakuraAvalon
      @SakuraAvalon 5 років тому +1

      Eh, not really. Bakura was a big villain, but he was a one and done villain.
      He kinda just BS'd his way back into the story, once Kazuki decided to make him more prevalent.
      Shadi would definitely be a recurring character, but he wasn't a full on villain, and I imagine he would've been more of a guidance or introduction to the later plot, but I'm sure a lot of the focus would still be new games and new villains to introduce them, with Millennium Item holders being the big bad that pops up to play a unique game, but then done away with in a couple chapters/volumes.

    My BF got me the GX academy box recently for my birthday and we didn't really plan to play the format, just get the cards, build some decks from them...etc. He knows GX is my favorite era (DM is his) so he just got it hoping to get the Flame Wingman secret rare.
    After trying it anyway, we fell in love with it. It's instant nostalgia, just a bit faster. Skill cards let you pull of some combos and play some cards you couldn't really play even back in the day, at least not with any dose of consistency.
    Now we just wish we learned of this a year or two sooner because we missed all the DM content that came out. I mean, he DID know about it but had no idea what it actually was. I've already ordered the Battle City box online for him. It's his favorite story arc.
    So yeah, this was a big missed opportunity because there is a ygo playerbase out there, mostly made of dormant players that miss "the old days" that would probably like this but most never heard of it, have no idea what it is or completely misunderstood it so they never gave it a shot. Also this could be a great entry for younger kids that might enjoy it.

    After being out of the Yugioh tournament scene for years, this was really helpful in understanding what Speed Duels are. I saw packs and decks but never really looked into them but when I saw my favorite chatacters on them again I had to.
    This may be the type of style that will appeal to me. I played from the beginning, when all we had were YUGI/KAIBA starter devks, complaining why POLYMERIZATION wasnt a common card, when we called it "sacrificing" instead of tributing, etc. And as the game evolved snd became a bank breaker I stoppef hitting the tourney scene. I built theme and character decks for fun, found I enjoyed it more that way. Yugioh was like chess, you got meet and know your opponents in tourneys, it wasn't about how fast you won or how you could embarass the other person. And I liked that. Im glad with all the new card types there is more creativity (though I still dont get pendulum summons lol) but everyone seems to play the same or copy whats popular. This seems for perfect for OG style gameplay where it doesn't seem as gimmicky. Where it does rely more on skill and knowledge rather than just card effect. I may look into this so thank you guys for the great video. I agree with all your points and especiallyvthat not advertising hurt this alot. I also feel calling it SPEED DUELS hurt it as well because the current game is fast enough, why infer this is an even faster style?
    Anyway this is just one "old man's" opinion. Thank you all for reading, and thank you guys for this video.

    My honest opinion on speed duelling is that it is a genius idea. It's the perfect segue for new players and former players *as well as* current players who just want to return to the roots and maybe enjoy a quick game. Speed duelling is to Yu-Gi-Oh! competitive as bot matches are to ranked matches in an online game.
    It's just Yu-Gi-Oh! go-fish. If you don't have time for a full game, you've got speed duelling. I just think that they need to promote it better, exactly as you guys said. Otherwise, it's a fantastic product.

      the secondary market prices are entirely the player's fault. every time some idiot pays 100 bucks for a card that tell the vendors and scalpers that people are willing to pay that price and it keeps perpetuating the cycle. stop dropping your entire paycheck on a playset of the new hotness and the prices will go down.

      @@walterlopez5054 Both the players and the company are partially responsible for this. Rarity hikes and short printing can drive up prices as much as player demand for good cards. Worth noting that OCG TDIL Pot of Desires is a Super Rare and was going for about ¥150 (a little less than $1.50) while the TCG Secret Rare was going for $60.

      @@SuaveTito that is again OUR fault. when we saw the ocg version of Pot of desires we hyped it up. Ko-Money saw that there was demand and juiced the rarity. same thing happened to rescue rabbit back in my day. its ocg printing was a silver letter normal rare. the playerbase saw how good it was, hyped it up. Komoney saw the obvious demand and bumped it up to secret rare to sell more packs.

    You're supposed to trade cards, not sell them.

      But selling is just trading cards for money.
      And money is essentially just a bunch of coupons for alot of different stuff.
      And food is just a clump of cells from a dead organism.
      Where was I again? Oh yeah, Vendread is cool, but I await more support.

    As someone who used to play before xyz and links the format of speed duels makes much more sense than that of the current main game

    Duel Links can be played on mobile and there are devices you can use to lock your phone to your handlebars. Someone should create an add-on or something for voice-controlled gameplay in duel links. Then... *Card games on motorcycles will be real!*
