For anyone looking for the links or resources I put them all in the description of the video!!!
To much competition they gotta wait for to hopefully die down ( One Piece and Lorcana ).
But I don't think that's happening anytime soon.
Yuga is by far my favorite yugioh protagonist
Chaotic good gremlin who can and will use 4D chess to get what he wants, including manipulating the local megacorp in his favor
He’s a silly little guy who may or may not be a menace which is why he’s my second favorite Yugioh protagonist
He’s that and also somewhat naive and passive (in that he doesn’t start out wanting to be the King of Duels), which overall just feels refreshing.
He’s such a unique protag from the rest, but still feels familiar in a good way that I find works really well in Sevens.
I love Yuga so much! The best protagonist and character in Yu-Gi-Oh. Change my mind.
I like Luke but I think that many of yugas cards are cool
pretty cool that Rush Duel has Contact Fusion now
I just don't get why Konami refuses to actually bring the cards over to the west. Like I want to play this game physically but it's basically impossible and I just don't get the hesitation to bring it to English speaking countries. We only recently got a dub of sevens and yet still no cards and at this point with how far along rush duels have come I don't think Konami will bring it over due to how much they'd have to transfer over at once.
Would cost a lot with no guarantee of return on investment. I think that might be why they ported the video game only - it was a cheap way to test the waters and see how much interest there was going to be in Rush outside Japan.
But at this point rush clearly has a fan base here in the west. Personally I believe it's due to how far rush has come in Japan and how many cards they'd have to port over all at once so that we're all caught up. Rush in the west can't have a natural progression like it did in Japan years ago which I feel like is one of the main reasons why they've probably given up on localizing it.
Its kinda sad considering rush could be way more popular than physical speed duel if konami played their cards right
Yu-Gi-Oh is already having issues in the West with some shops not bothering to carry it anymore and the people the game is designed for, kids, don't really play physical card games anymore.
@@nightmarearcade2663That and Konami couldn’t care less even if the circumstances were perfect for Rush Duel to work in the west.
Then again this may just be me downing many bottles of Konami Haterade, but I still think they deserve it.
Rush Duel, when blue eyes aint brick
I have a Blue-Eyes Rush Deck IRL! It was so fun to use! Ultimate dragon all day, everyday!
Great video! Would love to see you release these more often ;)
You ask too much of me
I got interested when the first mechanic was introduced: Maximum.
I love how it's been able to evolve in Go Rush, and Fusion was a nice reintroduction.
I'm not very knowledged, hell I open tournament reports to laugh at the extra deck choices thanks to Praime Dwarf, but I'm giving it a chance and having fun making my silly decks on Edo. I know a lot of people who hate it though, some saying about stealing art. Realistically that's not the case, we get to see more art. But I will admit my pet Master deck would like some of the cards from Rush, please Konami give me Skysavior Witness/Watch in Master.
Our Rush Duel-folks in Vietnam always come to two conclusions when talking about YGO boomers' opinions. First, their opinions can easily be summed up by only one sentence, which is "I hate Rush Duel, but nothing is proved". Second, if they have any reasons to hate Rush Duel, 99% of those reasons are bullsh*t. They can talk about terrible animations of YGO SEVENS, but they don't even care or mention anything about the same things in YGO VRAINS. They can hate Rush Duel due to its simplicity, but the simplicity itself is always the reason why Rush Duel attracts casual players in Japan.
I'm a yugiboomer, and by that I mean GOAT is my fave format to play, and I still think Rush looks fun. I'd buy 2 starter sets to play physically.
@@18ps3anos Trust me, you will see that Rush is much faster than GOAT, but you will like it once you get used to it. Btw, I love all formats in Yugioh, since each of them has their own unique things lol.
It's also quite hilarious that Rush Duel is actually the culmination of all the solutions players hypothesized that would save Yugioh. From rebooting the game, re-erata cards, ban all brocken cards, remove complicated summon mechanics, to flat out overhaul the rules. Everything of that is what Rush is. What the Master Rule Community show to Konami is that they are saying THEY REALLY DON'T KNOW THEMSELVES WHAT THEY WANT, because Everything they asked for was given by rush and now that they have it, THEY DON'T WANT IT. Now Konami thinks we're full of sh**.
DIVINEZ MENTIONED. We needed this not going to lie.
Hey that's me! Great video on cracking down on all of the misinformation the average yugioh player has for the other ways to play yugioh.
Yes positive Rush Duel content! :D
Keep up the Rush Duel content! ❤
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!
Man, I'm glad someone addressed this, rush duels are fun and I love the rush animes. Sometimes, simple things just work, ya know?
You should do a guide about how to start playing Rush Duels for begginers (tips about the format, good starter decks, some info about the current meta, etc.). Pweaaaaaaase. :''3
Based video, great to see someone not regurgitating old rush misinformation
I tried Rush after being disappointed by modern yugioh and wanting to try something different after playing GOAT for long. I was surprised Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon is very much playable and actually does stuff which suprised me considering you can only run 1 Blue-Eyes White Dragon. I think I managed to summon 3 Ultimate Dragons in several duels once.
In old school yugioh, Ultimate Dragon has become very easy to summon but is completely worthless because why even bother? The game evolved to a pace that you can get it out with 1 card and still not do anything with it.
Yea , ultimate dragon is just a big beatstick that does nothing
Last warrior from another planet is a better fusion card if you using cyberstein or magical scienctist
Please, Konami, give Rush Duels to paper and Master Duels!
I think once these complex combos enter into Rush on DL, people will begin to open up to it again.
After the video, its rashu dueling time ewe
Rush has always been goated
Merlin jumpscare
Rush being in duel links and even having a worlds for it is nice. Sure it was simple at the start but can only get better
I think the same thing. Rush duals are here to stay and you have to live with them.
i started playing a bit of rush duel links, cause of the whole qualifiers for the world championship. it’s fun, but i really hate spending my gems on rush duels lmao. It feels like a waste when speed duels has such a much more diverse card pool. I really wish they had 2 separate rss systems. I don’t wanna make a second account just for rush, but I guess i freaking might.
No hand trap can save you now.😅😂
"Rush in Duel Links is locked behind gatcha mechanics"
I know what you mean, but phased like that, that's called being a trading/collectible card game.
I just hope they do mot shut down Speed for Rush...
I have rush duels a try on duel links and i gotta say it’s a breath of fresh air tbh.
Good speech there in the end video
I'm Brazilian, I love Rush Duels, and a Brazilian channel made a video talking about it, but before that I already loved "Yu-Gi-Oh 2", and I play duel links with Yuudias decks, one HERO and one Cyber Dragon deck, and I would love for Rush Duels to come to the Americas like here in Brazil.
God yes. People complaining about Rush still going and that no one cares. It's still going isn't it? It would have been discontinued if it was a flop. Seriously yugioh players can be so up their own butts
Rush even have better promo cards than we do.
@@bryanmerel so true bestie
Well in fairness I think the main issue is Konami is putting all this effort into a game they refuse to release internationally to the point they are no longer making the main games best marketing material in favour of it
Rush is why we don’t have a new standard anime and the anime was how a lot of people got into the game because it gets them interested
If a kid were to find rush then they were marketed a game that basically doesn’t exist because there isn’t a way to really play it
@@jmurray1110 plus Konami TCG seem to have settled to simply squeeze how much money they can get out of competitive players in the West, being aware that they essentially have a bit of a stockholme syndrome with the game. They may at times complain or whine about the state of the game, especially in the comp scene, but they still continue throwing a lot of cash to get the most meta deck possible, all the while being stubborn and dismissively calling Rush Duel a "brainded stupid format for dumb babies that Konami shouldn't have made and instead should have focused effort to fix Master Duel format"
Man I love Cyber Dragon deck on Rush Duel right now
1 and a half year ago the free rush duel game come out in japan and i played it. I quickly grew to love rush duels with voidvelgr combo being my fave deck in the franchise. I just wish that game got more updates because executie format is dreadful to be eternally stuck on. I do support duel links rush duels in the hopes konami decides to import the real products one day.
When we get another rush duel game i hope we can have our own player again like in dawn of battle royale
I hope we can finally fusion summon with our deck and also create our own deck at the start and for ace monsters you gotta as example for dragias or sevens road magician you gotta beat Luke or yuga
MERLIN VIDEO
Rovian plush pfp is amazing, I wish it was real so I could pair it with a Yuna plush.
I really love yugioh rush anime I got into yugioh because of it but master duel seems fun but learning curve is too high so a Rush and master duel hybrid would be cool
I just want to play all the formats one at a time hopefully they can localize them soon
I think Rush Duels has potential. I have not played it, but if they sold it in TCG I'd try it. My biggest concern about Rush Duel is that it going to end up more degenerate than the regular yugioh in a few years cause the game has even less brakes built in.
Most people who want rush Cards are getting them from South Korea or Japan. It’s stupid them not bring them over here.
If you ask me, this kind of make me wonder where the fans at if the game is going on more. Apparently, in Asia.
I just wanna play the hero structure deck man xD
the cards are awesome
You can still play speed duel without speed duel product, they use the same tcg card (you only need to check which card is legal). But you need rush duel card if you want to see the real reaction of people globally.
Great video! Do you think Rush Duels will come to the TCG now that Speed Duels is ending? I’ve been enjoying Rush Duels on Duel Links.
It’s a possibility but ultimately it is in the hands of the higher ups at Konami. Best we can hope for is keep showing interest in it being localized.
You see what I mean yugioh will always end-up the same no matter what rules, they are. So people that hate monbo combos and infinite disruption, now speed duel as that, so because speed duel as that, they stop complaining and move to yugioh master duel which is also the exact same thing except way earlier. And then they move to rush duel because it was mush more simple, untill it become the same mombo combos infinite interupt, and if it is not their yet it will be in the future. So just enjoy the game and stop complaining about how it change.
No, as long as they do not give monster quick effects that won't happen.
Personally I only downloaded Duel Links because I was dissatisfied with the difficulty and card pool of the switch game. I wanted the real deal. So I heard they were coming to Duel Links, and that alone had me make an exception in my anti-gacha policy. My love for silly blue otk dragon is bigger than my hatred for microtransactions. That said, I don't like how there aren't any viable decks where I can use it together with sevens road. Gimme my dragoncasters meta like it was meant to be, Konami!
I forgot to leave a comment but WOOOW MERLIN VIDEO
Yo I love rush dueling
Solid video
I get all that but until it's brought to the tcg, I avoid getting invested in something I don't have access to. Once it's brought over I'll definitely give it a try.
For now, no one will see harm on trying it with proxies.
Rush is great. Demand it for the west
I ❤ yu-gi-oh rush in yu-gi-oh duel links if you trying to get rush in the 🇺🇸 just move to usa like I did I sure the west will get rush in yu-gi-oh duel links
I like the memes shown lol
This would be good for kids to play something simple. Bruh, so don’t get info from YUGIOH itself is what your saying.
Rush Duels in Duel Links atm made me want to slam my head against the wall with how sacky it feels. If you don't "draw the out", you're dead. Games feel so dragged for some reason, despite the turns not taking too long.
Although the introduction of fusions made things a bit more tolerable, Rush Duels in DL did not give me a very good impression on the format at all. I hope we do get more cards that even the field than simply drawing the out.
why would anyone play rush duels which is just a dumbed down version of ygo ?
Like everything is the same cept few cards and nicer card art and less play spaces.
The rush anime is meh for me. But maybe I am not just the target audience and that is okay. If it ever got english product might try it otherwise eeeh not concerned atm.
Unless you're a 10 year old Japanese boy, you're definitely not the target audience.
@@yurisei6732to be fair, the "target demographic" argument has never been anything but a strawman.
the 8-13 market really didn't appreciate the storyline exploring toxic relationships, the burden of leadership, and survivor's guilt that GX is now praised for by adults looking back on it.
a good story is a good story, doesn't matter what the label says. and i think Sevens and Go Rush both have great ones.
@@caswellweird Then you have the brain of a 10 year old boy. That's fine, just try not to burden the rest of us with your opinions.
Im sorry but while there's no product nor interest from the creator to share said product on TCG, I cant help but feel like getting into Rush is a waste of time
You're a waste of time 😂 if people are having fun let it be
I heard the decision to not port rush on the English side is from the western konami side. Apparently TCG players are too vocal of their unfounded hate of Rush, Konami TCG just thought it would flop
@@bryanmerel that's basically the gist of thing. Despite any and all complains the western players may voice about the current state of Master Rule format (the main game), they are too comfortable and too stubborn with it that they don't want to change and simply hold on to wishful thinking that Konami TCG can somehow magically fix all problems with the game (often pertaining to revert back to older formats out of blind nostalgia, or changes that they believe would help them win games more often while still feeling earnt). And with hint of elitism, they would shoot down Rush Duel and assume it's baby brain dead easy and boring beatdown game that doesn't have the "high IQ, strategical gameplay of Master Rule format".
It also doesn't help that their way of testing the viability of importing Rush Duel is by putting the format in Duel Links, where cards are acquired via gaccha, making it less likely to be enticing to players who have already made investment in the Speed Duel format and its meta to dedicate even more investment to a new format
@granmastersword This what's frustrated me. Rush is the PROOF that Konami actually listened. Rush fixed every thing Master Rule players claimed to be problematic about Master Rule Yugioh. It even had a far more healthier meta and a more accessible game loop. They are even restraining them selves on card effects and even the rush mechanics prooves to have hidden depth making the game much more face value skill base. The TCG side flat out rejecting Rush sends Konami the message that the western side really don't know what they want and just whining out of nothing.
I like Rush Duel, but I hate Duel Link.
I made my peace with Rush a long time ago: it's not an alternate format; it's a completely different game for a completely different audience, that just so happens to share some cards and mechanics.
The game is not for me, and that's fine. If you enjoy it, more power to you.
Rush Duel was a Mistake
~ Seto Kaiba (2021)
I want to play strategy game, not special summoning game
I like some of what Rush does as a game, but the thing that's stopped me getting into it is that it feels childish. Not simple, but catered towards a younger audience visually and thematically. The angular big image card frame feels like an attempt to capture the spirit of something like Vanguard, and the [Condition][Cost][Effect] text structure feels kind of forced. Then it seems like there's a big focus on archetypes that would have been comic relief in main Yugioh series - they're archetypes that Chumley would have made, your "puns about food" type of thing. And the addition of special monster types. All in all, Rush kind of feels like it's ashamed to be associated with Yugioh. It's like it's trying to capitalise on yugioh nostalgia while also distancing itself from yugioh as much as possible.
I was interested in Rush Duel until it literally watched like modern combo Master Rule combo decks. Konami just needs to grow tf up and officially support alt formats and introduce set rotation.
I don't like the fact that you have to buy new cards inorder to play.
I just don't like the game, nothing to prove here
I would absolutely play locally if they even had English cards I could buy.
I find it suspiciously convenient how you stated "Rush Duel is in the top 10 best selling card games in Japan", omitting the fact its revenue is 1/16th of Yugioh OCG and 1/44th of Pokemon OCG in the data you presented.
To make my point clearer I would like to ask if you think MTG is big in Japan
I mean
Rush Duel can be part of the top 10 best selling card games in Japan, and not necessarily be making roughly the same amount of money OG Yugioh OCG and Pokemon OCG do. Considering how long standing, influential, and big Yugioh OCG and Pokemon OCG are, with their player bases massive, consolidated, and loyal to their franchises, I don't think it's ever possible for any new card game, especially one that isn't tied to a very popular anime with massive fanbase or is a spinoff of an existing game, to ever reach their levels.
They are pretty much huge titans in the Japanese card game industry, so it's kind of a foolish endeavor to compare any card game, let alone Rush Duel, to those 2 with the expectation of ever reaching even 1/10th of their revenue to judge their success in the market
@@granmastersword So their success in the market is judged by the fact they've not lost more money than they made yet? And this is only because the game is build on the shoulders of Yugioh and Konami. Does that classify this card game as successful?
