I forgot that the GY in duel links looks like another monster zone... so I simply blurred it out using the youtube editor. do not be alarmed, its not nsfw content, its just the gy.
La unica que no entendi es la de el minuto 07:13 es que hablo español y me cuesta entender el ingles aun asi entendi todo lo demas .
Otra duda que tengo es cuando el link dice 2+, 1+,3+ ... y cuando solo dice 1 or , 2 or 3 or ... hay alguna diferencia yo tenia la loca teoria que cuando tiene el signo de mas es por que pide ese link y lo que viene despues de el mas son moustros entonces si decia 3+ debua usar un link 3 y un moustro y si solo decia 3 or , podia usar solo moustros o links
Are you stupid?! OF COURSE ITS NSFW! That’s where all the mangled corpses of the rogue deck who tried running in the YCS ends up! No one! Should ever have to witness such a sight…it’s too tragic

Unfunny + cringe
I knew I should've added a part about not doing that
@@daniel71632 the only thing that is "unfunny and cringe" is your humor
nah man its incredibly unfunny lmao @@_Necroz
And this is a bad thing?
Duel Link players, don't forget to turn off the automatic card placement option! You can't ruin your opponent's day if you can't place your Altergeists in the leftmost zones!
That the auto placement is the standard setting is so dumb tho. Makes sense for spell/traps since none plays row based cards or am not even sure exists in DL but not being able to choose where your EX cards should be is dumb. Especially if you first synchro/xyz summon and then you're locked out of link summoning
THAT'S A SETTING???
Damn, here I thought that was an actual in-game mechanic I was forced to deal with 😂
when I got back into ygo, im stumped like "how do I ritual this new blue cards?"
Cards go bye bye. Big boy say hello
@@lordgrub12345That's every summon mechanic ever.

I know, should have made them red instead
Now that (for some reason) we're talking about Linkuriboh's feet, did you know that they are wireless mouses?
Wait are you serious? hang on i need to go check something
Edit: oh my god they totally are... I had to go look at the bottoms to confirm
2002: combing monsters
2008: Doing math with monsters
2011: stacking monsters
2014: summoning 5 monsters in one turn
2017: trying to figure out which direction the game is going with monsters.
(Rituals not counted)
Technically ritual summoning is also combining monsters, you're just ritualistically sacrificing them and throwing their corpses into a blender to combine them.
Instructions unclear, my pikachu fainted and I have no more useable pokemon- I blacked out
I explain to my friends all the time but they dont get it. Somehow they understand synchro or XYZ summons. ITS SO MUCH EASIER TO LINK UP!!
This is the Tutorial that the community Needed
Link monster powercreep another summon mechanic
Amd how. Just a look at the Banlist is enough to see that
I think it got as bad as it did because they turned the materials fully generic. Many links now just need a body on board to start combos. I promise you, if we kept restrictions, nobody would be whining about Mistar Boy. If you couldn't drop I:P into S:P without two Cyberse monsters, you wouldn't see anyone playing it except decks that can actually use it. Fully generic materials for Links were a mistake :p
Link vrains pack mistakes
Ha, nice trick question there at 6:49. You CAN summon Firewall by activating Vernusylph of the Misting Seedling’s effect to discard himself, search a monster, then summon himself from GY, 2 + 1 + 1 = 4.
This is technically right... the best kind of right
Wouldn't that lock you into earth anyway?
@@JuMooly I think vernusylphs only lock you into earth effects, not special summons
I recently discovered your channel through your last two videos; even though I'm more of a MD player than DL, I can still appreciate the humor and explanations, good stuff 👍
Im really glad to hear this. Ive been trying to cater to a general ygo audience. Plus the MD people always teach me stuff I never knew about the game.
The Firewall Dragon section got me, beautiful video!
9:40 Bruh I hate DL, I was so confused why you couldn't summon Darkfluid since pentestag was there. I even checked the requirments for Darkfluid to make sure I wasn't stupid.
Until I realised that that's the gy, not the field.
I can't believe this video has to exist
great video; the quiz was great!
Thanx for the rundown. I got back to Yu-Gi-Oh during early link era and it looked like a fun mechanic. It's my 2nd fav summoning method after xyz.
I think the mechanic is underused, specifically the pointing/co-linking part
Thank needed this
wow this link summon tutorial video really helpful, i just found out you can pause video with "K" key in your keyboard, 5/5!
Great vid! A good knowledge check for me as a new player!
It’s so funny because I only started playing MD last year and link summoning was the easiest concept for me to grasp😂
XYZ on the other hand was difficult because I started playing with zoodiacs first…😅
i always internalized linking as, "its like tribute summoning but from your extra deck, but may or may not have niche conditions"
When I first started MD, I just used a couple of Link monsters to supplement the deck. It wasn't until I played Dragon Link that I had to fully learn the intricacies of the mechanic.
I was playing Sunavalon and something that I was caught off guard by was link monsters summoned from the extra deck but not necessarily link summoned still needs to be linked to another monster. Its obvious if you think about it but it made figuring out the deck longer than it should.
Instructions unclear
Summoned Red Supernova Dragon
Can you please make a video like this for synchro summoning. I got a buddy who cant add 3+4 and always somehow makes a synchro 10. Or tries to do a tuner 4 and a nontuner 10 into a different synchro 10
I just want a tutorial on how to summon the stardust dragon upgrades.
Teach them math. A video doesn’t seem necessary
@@TearsofaMermaid stardust + accel synchron or, for the level 12s, level 5 synchro + level 5 synchro + accel synchron
Others probably mentioned it, but you can also use Bellcat as 3, Reproducus as 1, and Converter as 1, Summoning it to Knightmare's side and leaving a free EMZ space.
Too bad Knightmare Phoenix now has to hold hands with the Quiet kid in the back of class that only listens to Korn and Tool
This channel is amazing
@4:43 actually you can V-link with 3 using the link 5(6?) firewall that points up-left and up-right PLUS any of the link 1/2 guys that point diagonally. I think there are two link ones for that. Not sure which they are lol
Link summoning is pretty hard to explain because with the rest of the summoning methods there's a catalyst that causes the summonm. For ritual and fusion thats the spell card and its pretty easy to understand sacrficing/merging the material through the catalyst that is the spell card. With synchro summoning the catalyst is the tuner and its pretty easy to imagine the tuner adding its levels to the material to make the summon. Xyz is a little less clear but the anime did a really good job of showing that when you stack two monstera you can invoke the boss monsters through the overlay network even getting the signature explosion from the black hole to show it.
Pendulum summoning itself is pretty easy to understand imo since its more of a series of special summons from the hand than the extra deck. It's pendulum cards themeselves that are harder to understand imo, the fact that when you scale them they act as spells not monsters except in some cases like when you destroy them, and then the fact that when they're popped they go to extra deck but not when tributed. Its kind of a mess.
Link summoning really has no restrictions other than the conditions so any time you can achieve them you kinda just throw the materials in grave then summon them. I like link climbing as a concept but imo they would have been better off without the arrows and maybe a harder restriction like unless you already have a link monster you need to use your normal summon to link which would make it much harder for other archetypes to abuse link summoning and get that feeling of using a catalyst to get the ball rolling. That's just me spitballing though
Links overall need to be less generic. It's not because Links don't have intrinsic restrictions that they can't have specific requirements.
One thing I’ll never understand is being able to summon something like appaloosa and then I get one token and I can’t anymore. I have the same cards on board as before plus one token! Does anyone know why this works like this? Also the card that summoned the token didn’t have any restrictions on summoning afterwards.
Thank you rabbi ❤
I needed this tutorial during the KCcup a few weeks ago for specifically Darkfluid.
I kept thinking I kept thinking i could summon it off Firewall.
I didn't have enough to read because the timer in Duel Links is scuffed
"3+ effect monsters" is literally its First line of text.
As like the only person I know that likes Pendulum summoning, I learnt all I know about them by playing Metalfoes. You need to build up GY resources to use your effects, so you end up learning when exactly is your monster going into the extra deck and when is it going to the graveyard. If they get sent to the GY from the hand or deck, they go there like normal. I they get sent to the GY/destroyed from the field, they go to the extra deck. If they're xyz material, they go to the graveyard. And I think that's it? the hard part is remembering all that.
Daidarant & Magician of Hope: Our time has come!
I missed the proper placement on the last one
Love how the Link rating seems to always be the same as the number of arrows. Just like how an xyz's rank is its (base) material's level. Because THIS is where the design team has to draw a line.
Omg because I forgot agave dragon's link rating that was conveniently not visible
Tbf to the Synchro Herald monster, it's meant to be support for Ritual monsters, but it's been abused.

XD
The joji filthy frank image is a prime example of the kinda editing that’s subtle but no less incredible. Great job
lol thats technically a stolen thumbnail from that "how joji escaped from frank" video from a while ago. I just assumed enough people knew where it was from that it was more of a pop culture reference at this point.
I’ve been playing Yu Gi oh for about 2 months now, I understand Link and Pendulum more than I understand Xyz and Synchro
Im tcgplayer and never knew about exact ljnk rating 😭
6:35 devious bait question. Clever
Have no idea why this was reccomended to me, as I am neither a Duel Links player nor confused over Links, but thoroughly enjoyed regardless lol
Ngl, I was not aware that you can only link summon a monster to a zone another link monster points to 🤦🏻♂️ that explains a lot
Really fun vid
Now to wait for:
LINK -8
7+ Monsters
This would be incredibly tough tho. 6+ monsters is more reasonable.
@@dudono1744 U-LINK
@@Ramsey276one ik, that's why it's not impossible. But it should be 7 Monsters, not 7+
Every year we get closer to forbidden memories fusion.
Petit dragon+ fire blossom+ bean soldier= gaia the sky warrior.
Don't be ridiculous... that combination would just be bean soldier (dragon + plant = black dragon jungle king, then bean soldier would just replace it since there's no fusion equivalent).
You're thinking of bean soldier + zombie + dragon + gaia the fierce knight = gaia the dragon champion (1000 atk or higher plant + zombie = pumpking, king of ghosts + dragon = curse of dragon + gaia = gaia the dragon champion).
At first i thought they were weak, you have to know which ones do what , but strongest thing is link 2 and one other can make 3, one more and link 4, they use the expression climb the links, so your link 2 basically represents 2 monsters and puts you that much closer to 4
Yeah, Links can be a little counterintuitive, i tried Beetrooper on MD because they are a robotic insect army, how could i not, and i got insect-locked all the time, so add the frustration of learning Links with Xenolocks, i was wracking my brain trying to figure what i linked wrong when in the end there is little line of text on Armor Horn and Invincible Atlas that say that they don't like them non-bugs 'round here.
When you switched to duel links you cant see link ratings so it makes it hard to tell
my favorite youtuber
lol thanks mario, sorry i havent made a short in so long
I'll be honest: As someone who dropped out of the game before XYZ were a thing and just recently got back into it, I've experienced literally all of these problems in my endeavors to reliably summon Firewall-Dragon Darkfluid Neo-Tempest-Terahertz. If I saw this video half a year ago, it would have saved me a lot of pain that the Master Duel Tutorial just lets you walk straight into xD
Ily
10:33 this was a big problem to me months ago, now im a link summon cyberse pro and ik how to co link
Didn't knew about the "exactly X" and "Link 3 OR 1, but not 2", partially because I kinda never went farther than a link 3. The zone thing I did knew about, and so about the requiriments.
I only kinda failed at 1 because I assumed beaver warrior was an effect monster, but let's be honest, WHY WOULD YOU EVER PLAY BEAVER WARRIOR?! At least put a Shine ball or World Chalice to make a believable scenario.
In general I feel I'm a quick learner. Understood synchos immediately, luckily remembered a video of how proper summon works to not make dumb mistakes, only had to ask once about how detaching didn't count as sending from field to grave (An errata because of Sangan btw... then he got banned 1 turn later), fusion and Ritual is easy to get if you're using a fusion spell, and I got Links right outside the "exactly X" and "as Y or 1, but not in between".
PS: 2 Notes.
1°: Is not that Konami makes the best monster generic, is that being generic is a big reason why they're the most played synchros. Like, imagine if Crimson Dragon said "1 dragon synchro" instead of just non-tuner; I'm sure the card would not see play considering the decks who play it don't even want to have the crimson dragon spells, only to synchro summon stuff like Blazar dragon.
2°: I LOVED the Monster hunter meat roasting gif.
3°: Indeed, I don't think I'll ever bother with pendulum summoning. I'm not a fan of combo decks and the mechanic became even more complicated with MR4.
9:41 this scenario fucks me up constantly. Cuz I forget it’s exact ratings. Agave can’t contribute only 3 arrows, and if it’s 4 or 1, the math just doesn’t work. It’s all or nothing
yes
no
yes, to both zones
yes, 3+1
no, since its 2+5 or 2+1
yes, 2+1+1
no
no, darkfluid needs an effect monster
yes, and while you have 2 zones to summon him to, you must use bellcat in this situation
Before this video I thought link summoning was easy, but now that I watched this video I still think that link summoning is easy so yeah 10/10 video
Maybe I'm weird but I've never found a single new summon type difficult to grasp. I struggle to work out why people struggle with these concepts.
Ritual: Sacrifice monster for bigger monster
Fusion: Combine monsters for bigger monster
Synchro: Ritual but on the field
Xyz: Solitaire
Pendulum: Some monsters are also spells, and you can mass summon between their special numbers.
Link: Arrows go pointy point
Considering your description of the first three would only confuse a new player, you've already shown that you're talking nonsense.
Thanks Melffy Rabby
Link Summoning is great. Gave life to old decks, even.
(3:28) Is this:
A: A BAD position to be in against a Heavy
or
B: A GOOD position to be in against a heavy
Link monsters is what broke Yugioh. It made the game more and more faster as many deck nowadays play Links in their decks to combo off or finish a duel.
I got multiple of these wrong because I forgot duel link has 3mmzs and not 4 lol
Edutainment style quiz music
Me a salad player of 3 years: man I’m really good at this quiz
I thought the pne at 730 was no because firewall is limited to 1
Link Summoning: complex tributing
Link summoning is basically playing chess with cardboard, a Synchro summoning who had š3x with pendulums but believed a little too much in itself
Synchro summoning is the hardest links are easy of course only in master duel i never have played with paper cards ♠️
Wait how do you extra link with only dryas
I remember when Vrains world launched in DL and I tried to summon Borreload with a L3 + another monster and I was so confused lmao
Edit: I'm later into the video and you caught me
So why doesn’t 2 plus 3 equal 4?
We got to the point where we actually need a duel academia
The ba link in e so funny because it’s got Dante materials but it’s a link and not a xyz
Ima be real,pendulums was what i learned 1st and have loved them since,dont know why my brain couldn't comprehend the others but-
I genuinely didnt know you could press K to pause
4:10 I want you to know that as soon as you said "when can I summon linkuriboh" my opponent in master duel summoned him. I don't know what to make of this.
Snake-eye?
it means your opponent watched this video
1:57 @.im still baffled by the stupid decision of making a goddamn Honeybot which arrows won't help Flier, and you have to do the cursed move of normal summon it... Is like they don't want you to fully understand their game
Excellent guide, failed at Beaver warrior cause forgot Fluid asks for effect monsters, so as the @.i fan @.i am must cleanse my soul from that sin
Using the effect of Infra Flier would also explain link arrows since only 1 or 2 zones would be availible to summon Infra Flier.
Beaver Warrior fucking me over for the millionth time
I'm bad at this game, but even i know how to link summon, the apparent necessity to have this video just means we have way too many [insert deck] players!
At 9:29, it is possible to summon Darkfluid - treating Pentestag as Link 2 and the other 3 monsters as Link 1 (3+ effect monsters is the requirement, not 3 effect monsters)
I might be wrong, but I think that Pentestag is in the graveyard.
You are correct, the pentestag is in the GY. That’s the GY spot in duel links
sorry i fucked up, I forgot that the gy in DL looks like a rightmost zone
7:42 salamangreat
I had to grow up a bit before i could understand link 😅
I am of the belief that dark synchros should be "1 tuner - 1 non tuner or 1 non tuner - 1 tuner" instead of"1 tuner + 1 non tuner"
I love duel links now
(i dont even play the game MD ruined me)
Duel links firewall isn't errata? I don't remember
It came errata’d, don’t worry.
I still don’t get how i can’t summon sunavalon dryas with genius loci after it is summoned back by sunavalon melias -_-
If you put Melias in the EMZ, then you wouldn't have any zones to summon Dryas to. (unless a Link monster is pointing to one of your other zones).
What Zone’s are free? Coz if Melias is in the EMZ, it doesn’t have any zones a link monster can be summoned to.
The most common line for Sunavalon in duel links atm is to leave the Dryas in the EMZ for as long as possible. (Aka sewing to get out Twin, revive seed, summon healer from the burn. Link those 3 into Melias which revives Seed. (Ideally summon a Shadow to link with dryas for dryades, then shadow effect for a second dryades)
Link is easy to use, but has lot of ruling
making it harder to understand, especially for a new/returner player
there is a lot of dark thing about link, from MR that ruin YGO, stupid hand loop
I think the most surprising thing I learned in this video is that you can pause videos with K, whaaaatttt???
That's because there's other functions in that area. M to mute, J and L is back or forward 10 sec, arrow keys move 5 seconds, and period and comma rewind/advance by a single frame.

Before watching: “yea I’ve been playing for 8 years. Link summoning is easy, but I don’t do it very often”
After watching: “wow. I forgot how many games I’ve lost cuz I don’t know how Link summoning works”
my answers were wrong on the final 2 questions :b
7:40 FIREWALL PASS FIREWALL PASS
Instructions unclear, performed clear-mind Limit Over Accel Synchro
4:01 yes
4:21 no bc u have a monster already in the ED zone & the arrow doesnt point to a free MD zone of urs
4:50 yes & u can place him where the arrows point to
6:28 no bc the link ratings are above 4 (2 + 3 = 5) = fxck got that wrong 😂
6:50 no bc of the L5 Monster
7:14 yes, with those 2 L2 Monster & u can place him either in the ED zone or next to Firewall Dragon
9:32 no bc of the L4 while Darkfluid needs 3 effekt monster. If the L4 was a L3, u could
9:55 no bc Beaver Warrior is a normal monster
10:20 yes bc u can treat 1 of those L2 monster as 1 material, so 3 + 1 + 1 is 5 (lesson learned haha)
So, just 1 wrong answer. I think Link Summon itself isnt that hard, but Link Climbing can be confusing

I answered all question correctly and still didn't understand it completely, hooray I'm normal 😂 also even yugioh anime is cool but I think pendilum and link was mistake and need to be removed.
At least both are now linked together - ok that was bad 😂
Dunoo how unpopular opinion this is but.... No matter the summoning mechanic every archetype needs to have in archetype requirements for summoning extra deck monsters othervise we have very problematic cards(i get that generic monsters that cna go into every extra deck are nice but that creates a problem on its own)
Bruv thinks I can do math lmao
I *can* , but only the blue kind
