Say it for folks in the back:
UNSPORTSMAN LIKE CONDUCT DESERVES A JUDGE CALL. DO NOT EXCUSE THIS BEHAVIOR.
The judge isn't doing anything unless the guy says a horrific cuss word like "ass", "hell" or "fart".
Just call a judge at this point. He’s terrorizing everyone around him at this point
Yeah pretty sure everyone at his table can be eye witnesses. It's not just a distraction to akemi but everyone else around lol
Tattle telling us for babies
@ericsaldana8236 it's not "tattle telling" to check someone on their awful behavior. If you don't have emotional maturity you shouldn't be at a competitive event, period.
@@Ra_views I'm sorry I was just goofing.
He just wanted to cook fam
"konami should only make tier 0 format where 3 decks can compete and people like you would not be sitting here"
this dude is literally what is wrong with this game since 2012
Nah I understand him even though I don't play meta. Diverse formats are harmless in a game where card effects are short. But in a game where each card has 8 lines of text and your opponent combos off with a deck you've never seen before, you just have no idea what they are doing and there is no time to read every card. The only solution is to spend 100s of hours on the game so that you know almost every deck you might encounter. But if you want to have a life outside of yugioh, it's inevitable you will end up in these situations playing against something complicated you've never seen, and you are left confused and not sure if your opponent cheating or not.
It’s dumb if there were three decks he’d still whoop his ass with one of those three lol
@@Raphael4722 we're supposed to be enjoying ourselves here, hyper focusing on winning every duel misses the forest for the trees. I personally have fun with new adversity
@@Raphael4722You just described, basically, what chess players do, they go and learn every potential move and every potential counter, they train to think 7 moves ahead, and you don’t see them flipping out about the game. If you want to play 3 decks only then make friends with other twats that think the same, but don’t come into a tournament and bitch and moan about someone else’s deck just because you’d have to read a bit.
@@snax7760 There is a big difference in chess - the number of openings doesn't increase with time. If you learn all the common openings and gameplans for them, you won't have learn them again (at most you just look over them before a tournament). Meanwhile in yugioh if you take a break for 2 years there will be 15 new decks when you come back. I would never behave like that guy, but I understand why diversity can be unappealing. It's risky to "read a bit" because you might end up going into time so you often just have to take the opponent's word that they're using their cards correctly.
"Bro we're at table 563" LMAO this absolutely sent me
🤣🤣🤣🤣
500+ hell confirmed
I sat right next to and you signed my playset of shifter. I think I witnessed it most of it.
How cringe was that guy? 😂😂
Should've responded with
"You're a third rate duelist LOSING to a fourth rate deck"
And watch him fume harder
PS : not saying your deck is weak. It's just to tilt him
Holy shit that might've caused an assault in this context lmao, dude was clearly about to burst
this
And I doubt he’s even seen the anime, considering how much hard on he has for meta 😂😂😂😂😂
The saying is "You're a 3rd rate duelist with a 4th rate deck". Not losing to a 4th rate deck....
@@coyote4961
The quote is changed to match his opponent deck and the situation
Bros just mad he spent 1k to lose to plants.
Different game but same scenario and same result. My brother and I were at a Pokemon Regionals in LA. He wasn't playing to win, his goal was to create chaos. He faced a Charizard ex deck and in turn 2, my bro's turn, he was setting up his board with a good hand and before he saw Great Tusk with Land Collapse, his opponent said, "Is it Ancient Box or Mill?" My bro said "Mill". His opponent scoops up and his stuff and says, "Take the round, I'm done" 😅😅
He should have played BIRDS
And likely didn't learn the fundamentals of said Deck too.
THIS 😂
😂😂 I don't know why i found this story so funny. A power struggle at table 500
That's what made it so goofy tbh
He was mad that he was there after spending 1500 for his deck
@@shien-ryu4395 And most of that price comes from rarity. 😂
@@xenoknight7187this is what happens when you don't take the time to learn how to play a deck and thinking that just because it cost the most it's automatically better 😂😂
Being at table 563 and having a jersey is insane level of delusion
average yugioh player behavior fr. you don’t see that shit nearly as much in other card games. it’s wild it’s even a thing in yugioh too considering there’s minimal cash prizing relative to the other games
Probably the most important thing I've learned since getting back into Yugioh: take every deck seriously no matter what. Nearly every deck can win from one good turn.
There are no Meta every decks has loops and 7 interupts
@@ArseneLisandrowdym there is no Meta look at the Tournament's most played decks that is the Meta lol
@antonmini4386 I think they were being sarcastic
Yeah the problem is if you come up against something random at a tournament, there is no time to learn the deck. Every card nowadays has a long paragraph of text so reading everything is not possible.
@Raphael4722 I mean it's possible, but no one wants to spend half the round reading card effects.
He should have played bbbiiirrrrddddsss
THATS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT (I don't know much about this game but I like the birds deck, and I like that people can rage at the cure like birds like floo or something
Hi Akemi! Im not sure if you remember me but you signed my Teardrop at Nationals, a big thing ive learned when playing Rikka is people rather than admitting they werent prepared for a rouge deck will blame the deck since itll hurt their ego if they say they didnt test for the matchup. You were a super nice person I met that weekend and I hope you dont let players like that take away from your enjoyment of the game ^_^
I think its hilarious when people blame the deck instead of the pilot when they lose to rogue. How tf does he not know what rikka does rikka sunavalon literally won a ycs last year 😂😂😂
Everyone has their moments.
This dude in the story thinks he’s the main character in a anime
friendly remider of the minor spelling mistake of "rouge" vs "rogue" where "rouge" means red...
Retired yugioh player here. Just wanted to note, in all my years of playing yugioh, its the most I’ve ever experienced toxic players. I went into Digimon and am still an avid player but the difference is night and day when it comes to competitive folks that are jerks!
Ive personally had very well mannered opponents playing Pokemon. Other than like one sus guy it's like night and day compared to the drama Yu-Gi-Oh players put you through
Switched from YGO to Pokemon. Never encountered such a chill, inclusive and sportsmanlike community. You can be playing against a kid one match and a grandma the next. It's really so much more about having fun and it's a far more quick and simple game. Now I have kids I don't have the time to invest in keeping up with YGO 😅 but YGO had the most awful toxic community of players I've ever dealt with, across all the years i played from like '04 on
I think the reason that digimon is so chill in comparison is it's where a lot of people went who didn't like the toxicity of Yu-Gi-Oh but just weren't huge into Magic. At my locals the competitive players (I'm slowly becoming more competitive, got my first online regional in September) are generally the chillest ones.
@@cheesycheese7100probably cause the people playing are kids 💀
@@LoLTerminus as an adult pokemon fan, i take offense to that.
For context, I was playing D/D/D. Me and some friends went to a win-a-box tournament at a card shop in a neighboring town after playtesting. I was playing a pretty standard list with a couple of changes. I get matched up against some guys doing a similar thing, just a guy and his friends. he was playing branded something. I go first, i get hand trapped, but i already had the extender and i full combo from there. He doesnt say anything, just lets out a loud sigh of disappointment. He gimmick puppet locks me during game 2, so i pass, he TELLS ME: "scoop it up 'lil bro". he doesnt kill me(praise upstart goblin). But i don't have the LP to make plays, so i stall it out for a couple of turn with droplet and imperm. he wins game 2 after like 2 more turns of this. Game 3, his buddies are around him cheering him on and shit talking(as you do). I choose to go first, I got hand trapped twice and still built a board. he uses his entire hand and doesn't break my board, I make follow up plays and kill him, i say my gg's. He stands up and deadass flips the table we are sitting at complaining about rogue decks and how"D/D/D is too OP for a rogue deck" the staff comes over to us to diffuse the situation. I've been quiet since he stood up. He claims i stacked my deck or something before he got kicked out of the tournament. His friends stayed behind to apologize. Looking back it was really funny, but i was shook for a minute. I like to talk to my opponents during matches since im a decently friendly person. He wasn't having it so i gave up. But yea thats my toxic player story.
FLIPPED the table? That's crazy
I love D/D/D
He flipped the table with your stuff on it? why where you quit? i would send KO him instantly for doing this to my stuff
he activated spell card FILIPPING THE TABLE
@@StomperFF I legit want Konami to finally make Flipping the Table, and the rest of Chumley's dad's stuff.
My worst experience was just some dude being a huge prick about me using Ghostricks at locals a few years back, he was livid over how "Konami lets annoying assholes just do whatever they want" but like... he was using Swordsoul/Tenyi so I genuinely don't understand how he kept losing.
It’s just bad players getting mad because they spent 3-4K on a deck they can’t play and then they get salty.
Respect for playing Ghostrick
Literally like bro you play swordsoul shut 😭😭💀
Swordsouls hates getting booked on
Ghostrick Nation, rise up!
And then go face-down again.
You gotta do a skit based on this!
Yes!
Absolutely
Oh god yes !
I thought this was gonna be a skit but damn it was a true honest story, nice to see something different from @@AkemiTCG
That's so amazing that you beat him. I remember I was at a regionals like 10 years ago. My opponent sat down (it was like round 5) and we were at like table 24 or something. He looked at me and said that you aren't going to win man, pay me $50 and I'll give you the win. I was dumbfounded, looked this man in the eyes and said no thank you!. I cooked with 2-0 with black wings.
Nice! Birds were pretty good around Vegas format
I definitely think my worst experience with Yugioh was back in a locals in 2016. There was a guy who would always play meta (I believe he was playing the extra deck monarchs at the time). I go first and normal summon a deskbot 003 and he literally gave me the biggest sigh ever and yelled “seriously, you are playing this sh___y deck?”. I proceed to otk him twice and he literally threw his deck at me and stormed out of the locals, saying “f you for playing that deck. Play something more competitive”.
Man literally acting like boogie in that one skit
maybe it was the same guy Akemi played against. XD
So you got a free deck? XD
Loved playing deskbots back then. 003 and machine duping 002 or 005 for cyber infinity. Deck could put out so much damage quickly
@@elrompecabezasdelmilenio6210 Unfortunately he did come back later after that locals and asked for his deck back, which I did return
"We're at table 563!" Im fucking dead 😂
LMAOOOO
I played Yu-Gi-Oh as a kid and stopped after 5Ds. One time at a local convention, I picked up a card thinking it was fake due to the word "Banish". I never knew that remove from play was changed to Banish because again, never played since then. I mentioned it to one of the people around me and they went off on me for not knowing Yu-Gi-Oh. I was at the time interested in getting back into it again because of seeing ArcV and new concepts. I ended up not getting back into Yu-gi-Oh until last year. That experience was 5 years ago.
What I Lowkey hate is that it’s not that uncommon of an experience. There are ways to make the game more approachable to newer players, or teach them new mechanics, but so many veteran players take the game so seriously, they get mad when you don’t know or understand rulings, and then still beat you with a meta deck and brag about it like they accomplished something. It’s an experience me and many of my friends had getting back into the game trying to learn MR4 (we quit around Pepe and got back in a little before Gouki format) and caused a lot of us to be turned off playing
"I should quit Yu-Gi-Oh"
Ok do it lmao
I already did, Ironically because of people like that guy,, hate to say it but the yugioh community has been filled with bad mannered sore losers (the worst part is they are even worse when they win) these last few years, and it really has drove me away from playing the game and the tcg price point as well, so many yugioh players poor shame those that can’t afford expensive cards so not only does it feel crappy that I can’t afford to build a good deck but now these people have to rub it in too when I just want to play some yugioh with people
Honestly it is very systemic and basically Konami endorsed, the toxicity I mean.
The game is super Super sacky in all its forms and if you play a too rogue deck, there are only so many losses and sacks u can take before you start getting frustrated. On the flip side you cant make meta decks because maybe they are too expensive/you dont wanna get ripped off by Konami and vendors.
So what happens? Frustration skyrockets for these reasons, and some people buckle/explode.
Already did glad I did it to
@Practicalinvestments RIGHT, I feel you. I've gotten a little bit of both since returning to the game, especially because I play rogue, and people will blatantly misplay against me, then get salty.
@Ralir I see where your coming from but I feel like your point undermines the video a little bit. Regardless of the state of the game, players should never take their anger out on other players. If anything, it just shows how psychologically regressed the yugioh community is as a whole. Luckily in this situation other players where willing to step in and defend the player who got harassed. I think it's important going forward for yugioh players to try to prevent this type of behavior because it has no place in the community or society as a whole
He thought he was better then he really was, happens all too often. Good on you for being the bigger man in the end
Yeah when they spend money on tier 0 and flop on the day their egos and wallets start to cry.
"This is why all the pros are quitting." And that's why you're not one of them.
👏
He was super salty/toxic 😅 I’m glad you beat him! 🔥🤣
attacked a face down, it was a man eater bug lol. My opponent looked me dead in the eyes and said “oh yeah that cards dead and you’ll take 800lp of damage.” We then argued about it, judge came and told me “let him have it”. The games had a time limit, when time was called the only “damage” done was the kids bs. Prize for winning a round was a plastic millennium puzzle. Never played “competitively” again 😭😭
did the judge mean it as "just go with it" or "feel free to crush him?"
Was this a locals judge?
This happened to me playing against a guy with a last name starting with J...
He basically says "YCS should only be for top players, that are willing to invest for real in the game". Yeah, there are guys that think they can buy anything with their money. The Yugioh community is getting more and more toxic, just seeing people at locals having a good time on Lorcana or Digimon makes me envy, and questioning why i am still playing this game. I just want to have fun, that's all.
The game is quite pay to win but when people are dropping 1k plus on the best Deck and losing, I don't think the game being pay to win is the issue in that case.
A friend of mine had a similar experience at locals, snake eyes player was mad that he was losing to branded chimera, so he starts running his mouth. Match ends, my friend take the W, and the dude is salty af. My friend tells him to meet up outside to handle it like men. Props to the guy for accepting, they knuckled up dude had a couple good shots but my homie got the better of him. They shook hands after and the dude has been calmer ever since. Some people just need to get punched in the face.
That's some fight club shit right there 😂
No way people were throwing hands over yugioh 😂
😮😮😮 what the hell... No way... Like a casual fist fight? 😂... No that's n'fight club
@@yoastertoaster8306yugioh x fight club IRL
During the Thunder dragon meta, I brought my wife who was learning how to play yugioh and was enjoying the ABC deck I made her. She collected all max rarity for the deck and built it to her personal liking. She went against a guy who wasn’t competing at locals and was just playing random people. He challenged her and she agreed. The first turn he summoned out his 2 colossus dragons making the dreaded lock at the time preventing you from adding cards to hand. ABC deck was basically shut down and she played A-assault core and passed. He swung into it and she played honest from her hand making A-Assualt cores attack 1900 more than his dragon he literally said “ This is why I hate yugioh because of scrubs like you who pretend to play competitive with rogue trash”
Was a casual game outside the locals event
She said she was new
He knew she had ABC because he watched her previous game.
Dude was lucky I was nowhere near because we would have thrown hands. Ever since she refuses to touch her Yugioh deck she worked on.
I know many of these types of people, because they're my friends, and they also caused me to quit being competitive in anyway, I love my Raidraptor deck and I'll never change
Some folks tie way too much of their ego and self worth to these hobbies that have become competitive in the last 2-3 decades (Video Games, TCGs, etc.) Having met you in person a couple times at locals (can't remember if we played) you're an unbelievably nice dude, no way you deserved that. Even the most skilled players around where we play don't usually have attitudes like this.
Would have been my first response "Bro were at table 500, were both not going into topcut xD", if he stays mad its time for a harassment judge call. That should make him stop or leave.
It's an unfortunate part of competition. It's not just Yugioh, I've experienced it in Pokemon, Yugioh, Magic, and since I'm on an hiatus of Yugioh right now, am also seeing it in Lorcana. In high level competition, people are just... Not pleasant. And myself, I'm too old to get into it. I don't even respond at that point and just move on because nothing you can or will say, will make them see it in another perspective. At least, not in that moment. They are too heated and much too into themselves to look at things in another way, and I just gave up a long time ago to interact with salty players.
Which sucks because I pride myself in being a person of fair play and for fun. I don't go to tournaments with the idea to win, I'm there because I work 50-55 hours a week, and I play Card games for a couple hours where I can relax a bit. When other players are not having fun with the game, I keep asking myself "Then why do you play? Do you only play to win? Do you only see it fun when you're on the winning side? If that's the case there's a lot of other games to play where you'll be a victor more often."
It's just a sad state of playerbases across all card games.
Something gonna happen eventually to him, grown man shit.
its so funny that he complains about your deck being rogue and that "players like you are the reason pros are quitting" when Jess, the pro and and euros champion plays primarily plants and gets the majority of her results by playing plants is one of the pros that are quitting. As if plants have anything to do with it.
I always see this type of behavior in competitive realms, tcgs, games, and sports. I've done boxing, tekken, and a little yugioh, and these personalities always trickle in when competition is involved. I'm someone who loves to challenge myself and see growth, its never been an ego thing, so this kind of stuff immediately gets me tilted because its just disrespectful. I have to remember that it's probably their own self worth and esteem that's not doing well and they try to make up for it (or a mind game tactic); but these personalities need reality checks outside of the game to reflect on themselves. If you don't feel comfortable calling them out personally, call a judge and let them know their behavior is not tolerated.
I know exactly who you're talking about lol he goes to my locals
No way?? Holy shit I could never keep going to a locals with that guy 😭
(Love your stuff btw, swordsoul forever)
Swordsoul best deck!! Once we get out support I mean.
@@dillonmoto7278 Swordsoul Supreme Sovereign Baronne de Sword (totally not baronne de fleur)
This person knows what I'm talking about.
Oof, that really is a jerk. I sadly met such people too, who think only meta players are ones that should play the game. I honestly think those are the ones with real issues and try to ignore them, but that just takes the fun off the game for many others, doubting themselves. That is like bullying at school, except that this luckily is "just a game". Such people need to be disqualified at tournaments and banned, since they hurt other players, the game and also Konami with this behaviour.
One time in queens nyc about 17 years ago I was playing a Gemini stun deck. Skill drain, Gemini spark, honest, alius, Endymion and it was the finals. I was playing against a national champion. I beat him and then I was told it didn’t count cause it wasn’t even his deck. The original owner wanted to win so he gave it to him to win. Everybody was watching and said nothing until I won. I had to play the original owner and it ended in a draw and I got half the prize. Pisses me off till this day.
Tbh, it is one thing to lose to a meta deck (like he most likely does experience) and another to lose to a "rogue" deck (idk if plants are still meta here in Europe).
You get salty over a loss, but at least you can blame it on the meta for losing to Snake eye or something.
BUT
When you lose to a ROGUE deck?
It is a whole other story.
Because NOW you can't blame it on being the best deck and you have to face that YOU'RE JUST BAD BRO or that YOUR deck sucks.
It is WAY more painful.
And I say this as a casual player btw.
Couldn't agree more, also a casual player myself.
Also they guy bricked going 1st. I get akemi but bro I feel the others guys pain. Shouldn't say that shit tho
@slimbo9283 same, ik from experience. I played labrynth when it was one of the best decks during post agov, and losing to rogue decks at locals was really painful. That was because I was very new to the deck. I've gotten better with it over time. However, like you said, it doesn't justify salty behaviour
You meta people are the problem with gaming
+ Think about the amount he paid for his tier 0 deck. Dude is salty af.
This is 80% of every jersey wearing “top team”
In their mind you’re trash and they are superior in every way.. once you outplay them they get extremely salty and god forbid you beat them.. I’m in no way a sweaty player and I have had this same exact thing happen to me probably 6 separate times now from HUGE named teams 3 of which were from Team Jobber Players.
Jersey wearing team players are always the most pathetic. They got nothing going on in life so they have to cling to a children’s card game for some meager level of validation and meaning
@adellongino9413 Sounds like your projecting your circumstances onto others, you sound just like the guy Ak spoke about.
@@marioharvey7776 Oh so you’re one of those try hard pro jersey players?
@@adellongino9413 ? How did you come to that conclusion from my statement? I see what I said went over your head, what you understand is evident!
@@marioharvey7776 The fact that you’re defending toxic pro players. I’m in support of people actually being respectful of each other and having good sportsmanship because at the end of the day it’s just a game.

Not sure how you came to the conclusion I was projecting onto others when I’m literally just empathizing with what happened to Ak
I remembered when i first started duel links. (All my used to be friends were Yu-Gi-Oh players btw and i just started my journey from duel links) And when i chose to play Blue-eyes till this day in irl and master duels. They'd talk behind my back. One of them even threatened me if i didn't stop playing a "Trash deck for losers" then they'd hurt my family.
I didn't stop, of course they were bluffing but they all instead beat me up in my own backyard and ripped up all my cards. I don't know what i did to deserve that back then. But I'm still scared to make any friends to this day when it comes to Yu-Gi-Oh because I'm so compassionate about the deck.
I didn't mean to make this a "Me" thing btw. But it's super wrong for that dude to literally tell u such hateful words just because of a card game
This happened to me at a Regional in Hartford. Just saying my deck was bad and then I beat him 2-0 in 15 minutes playing Scareclaw.
5:27 "Hey, don't quit man! As long as you have this top trier deck, there's a 100% chance a better player can't use these cards against me."
My most salty experience was back in 2018. I had played (and won) against a Blue-Eyes Chaos Max player. I was playing Nephthys-Fire King [Yes, well before the Fire King Reloaded Structure deck that made them cracked].
We were supposed to play a best of three, I had already won 3 and lost 3. My opponent found out he was paired against me for Round 7, and while we were prepping for the round to start, he already began talking to the people around him about who he might lose to his Chaos Max Blue-Eyes after he beat me, BEFORE THE MATCH HAD EVEN BEGUN. He even flat out called me the n-word, hard "R" when I had won the dice roll.
On the very first turn of the duel, I had managed to set up 3 Ritual Monsters and Link Summoned "Nephthys, The Sacred Flame". With all parts of its effects unlocked, it stood at 4800ATK, it couldnt be destroyed by card effects and/or battle, nor could it be targeted for effects of any kind be either player. I then passed turn. My opponent proceeded to combo until he Ritual Summoned Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, not bothering to read the effects of my Link Monster I brought out. He went to battle and swung at Nephthys. I then told him with a smile, "Alright, YOUR Blue-Eyes is destroyed, and YOU take 800 points of damage." His jaw dropped at me saying that, calling a judge to try to explain "how I was wrong, " according to him. However, when I explained how I brought out my Nephthys Link Monster to the judge, she (the judge) immediately ruled in my favor, telling my opponent that Blue-Eyes Chaos Max Dragon was destroyed and he lost 800 Life Points. When the judge left, my opponent legit stayed quiet for 3 minutes. I had tried to get his attention the entire time. However, when he came to and realized everything that happened, he raised a closed fist into the air, slammed it down as hard as he could onto the table (causing the table to be permanantly damaged), causing our cards to scater everywhere. He proceeded to yell at me for apparently "playing the one counter to his deck." Since he and I also had a past in another card game he formerly played, he added "You're not only a 'N-word hard "R" ' in Vanguard, but you just HAVE to also be a 'N-word hard "R" ' in Yu-Gi-Oh?!?!? I fucking quit."
He then grabbed his backpack and immediately stormed out of the public shopping mall where this was happening. Everyonenin the shop had flocked over to me after their matches, asking if I was alright, to which I said yes.
For context: The Blue-Eyes player had a rep for being rather vulgar when he got salty. I experienced it first-hand when he quit another card game (Cardfight Vanguard) because I had dismantled his teir 1 deck with a decent rouge deck [whoopsie XD XD XD]
However, when he ejected himself from the tournament, he had left his deck where we were dueling. I proceeded to pick up both players cards, and go report my win. When I told the T.O. about what happened, I gave the deck to the T.O., but he then said I could keep it. Due to my opponent's salty behavior, he had earned himself a permanent lifetime ban, so he wouldnt be able to come back to the shop, much less get back his "tier zero" deck.
To this day, I still have the Blue-Eyes deck, to remind myself of what I did back then. I no longer have my Nephthys deck anymore (I gave it to my best friend who wanted it as his birthday gift), but I'm so glad I made that deck for fun so long ago.
I was at a regionals one time 6-2 my opponent was playing branded and was almost completely silent for 3 games in a row. After I beat him he whispers "girls can't play yugioh" and leaves. For the rest of the regionals I occasionally see him point at me like he's that guy pointing at the computer meme.
He thinks that girls can’t play yugioh, he must be bad at it and never had a relationship with.
This reminds me I play billiard game, some guy believes hit a 8 ball and win? I just watch the entire game works and he really hates me. 😅
First ever, YCS one of these team jersey guys got upset because I told him it was my first ever event and I was playing trickstar sky striker. He got upset I 2-0 his pure striker and proceeded to call judge on every little thing i did
Trickstars and Sky Strikers 😅 I wonder how that even works
@tsohgallik it was actually s strong combo back in the day
Bro it is okay he probably lost to Ojamas and got sent to table 563.
Worst experience I've had.
Was at regionals, and a guy and me sit down at like table 300. I'm like 1-2-1, so is him.
We talked, we are chill, kind of joking around. He's talking about his best deck, which was some scramble of snake-eye, centurion, horus: just all current meta smashed in a 60- card deck. I'm playing lab. I win dice roll and go first. We play a long first game probably 30 min, I'm playing a sort of stun deck while he just draws into heat somehow. I win round 1. Round 2 hr goes first, we are still joking and chilling, we are not winning or topping regionals. We play round 2, he goes first. I break his board and we start battling. I lose like 1100 life, and time is called so judges are rolling around. I just say it's a draw in game 2. This man out of nowhere where switches up and says it is game 3. I instantly am like " no no it's game 2". This guy genuinely believes it was game 3 and he got the win. I normally wouldn't care since we were farther down the list, but it became clear he was literally trying to cheat and scam for a win. I start backing myself up, the judges pull us apart and talk to us. I tell them what happened, he did too. I told them I could say what my first card was in the GY. I knew what happened, the plays, the order of everything. This guy was just yapping. Long story short, it was a draw......30 minutes later making the whole regional wait.
Story time.
We went on holidays with my friends at 2022 and the place we went at, there was a friend of mine who played yugioh. I asked my friends if they were interested in bringing their decks as well to have a meet up with that dude and his friends. We introduced ourselves and we had a duel where I lost cause I was using a fun deck. One year later I made a friend at school whose friend was one of the guys we met on our summer holidays. At this point I was like “you know what how about hanging out sometime and bring our decks”. My deck that time was Branded Despia. So we meet up and me sneak peeks at my deck and he saw my dragoon and said “alright that’s gonna be easy for me ddds” because he thought I was playing red eyes for some reason. So we end up playing and I went 4-1 which means I pretty much won almost every time except for one time I bricked. The worst part was that he was swearing at me every time I was negating his cards with hand traps and he was hitting the table again and again. Then he looks at me and says “I hope your deck burns exactly like your f*cking Dragoon’ burn damage”. Then he scooped and said “your deck is trash without your negates and non target banishes”. I explained that this is pretty much all the point of the deck and that he doesn’t have to be this salty about a card game. Besides we met to have fun playing some yugioh duels since I didn’t have the time to play against all of that dude’s friends in my holidays. He apologised and then left after we took a photo together to send to his friend. I am not mad at him since a lot of time has passed since that day. In fact, I would challenge him in a duel with my upgraded branded deck for a rematch or even with an other deck cause it would be fun. I just hope he’s doing good
Many 'Pro Players' exhibit this kind of behavior, driven more by ego than skill. They often feel entitled to win with top cards, but losing still frustrates them. Not everyone understands the current meta or rules, which adds to the issue. Overall, the problem with Yu-Gi-Oh right now is the whining and unprofessional conduct, whether at local events or YCS tournaments. You handle the situation well. Thee frustration in you telling your experience showed how annoying in was to deal with that. But you proved you are the bigger and better player in this match up. Keep being you man!
At the height of Branded Despia, I was up 7-2 at a regional playing Kragen Control and and my opponent could not believe I was cooking him. He called Judge over and over saying my plays were bad and acted like quick effect wasn’t a quick effect. After winning I tried to shake his hand GG and he pushed it away saying nothing. I get that topping is a big confidence boost and euphoric but to be an asshole over a game that doesn’t have the best prizes anyways was just dumb.
In this situation, at the first words I call judge, instantly, I dont give a f*ck and dont let him anything, he just dont have to say that.
Wait he is complaining that you are not a meta slave what
Tbh, the situation was so weird, it took me a while to understand this wasn't a bit
I really respect a person when they don’t lower themselves to that unsportsmanlike conduct. You should be so proud of yourself. A person that can conduct themselves with respect and respect of others is a true person in any walk of life. Thank you as a subscriber.
Sigh... nats 2022. I was playing floo (poggers I know). Round 7, 2 losses, at table like 400 or somethin. Sit across from my opponent who just starts HATING on floo. Saying he dueled it like twice today and thats its the most toxic deck in the world yada yada. I feel a little awkward tbh, of course, but I laugh it off and poke fun at floo too. Game starts i go first go map, opponent immediately scoops up his cards and starts siding. I'm like, "so game 2?" Opponent doesn't say a word, doesn't even look at me, nod or anything. Game 2 he starts and summons a marincess card, but its in German (I can't read German). I ask what it does as friendly as I can, and crack a joke about how I can't read German. He just pulls up a translation on his phone and puts it on the table (still hasn't said a word since the match started btw). This entire game 2 goes like this. I lose, we go game 3. At this point, im a little upset that my opp is being a douche, so I would like to win, but I'm super uncomfortable and nervous with how my opponent is treating me. Last game i go first with I remember specifically I had like eagle, feather storm, advent, and 2 other dead cards. He ashes eagle (just throws ash into grave) so I set storm and pass. He starts his turn, i storm, he doesn't say anything. He waves his hand to pass turn, in end phase i go advent banish eagle, he chains ash. Because i was so anxious from the way he was treating me, I let it go through. Somehow feather storm completely slipped my mind in the minute ans half he tried doing things. It gets to my turn and I'm bricked now so I have to pass. He goes combo and kills me, gets up, and walks away. Not a single word, I lost to the jerk, and I shouldn't have even lost but my nerves got the best of me. It wasn't until he left that it hit me. I cried (I know thats super lame). And yea, floo is annoying, I get it. But it crushed my soul that someone could harbor so much disgust towards someone for their deck choice. And then it hurt even more ending my first nats run with a loss that 1. Shouldn't have even happened, and 2. Was to an absolute jerk. That has been by far my worst yugioh experience. It left me feeling shitty about myself for allowing the ash to go through, left me feeling terrible about my deck choice and my abilities as a duelist, and left a sour taste in my mouth about some of the people who play this game.
Long winded, but if you read all the way, then thanks. I hope you reading don't have to experience something like this, you never deserve to feel shitty about yourself for the deck you play, especially in a competitive environment where the goal is to win. When I look back on this experience I still kick myself for failing to win. But it has taught me that there is no moral high ground in yugioh. Your opponent will complain about you summoning empen or flipping feather storm, but will turn around and hit you with skill drains, drolls, d barriers, you name it. Never feel bad for playing a deck you enjoy. And try not to let anyone else drag you down for it either.
Fly like an eagle my brother 🦅
Bro for me, you PSYCHOLOGICALLY won that match. Sure, his attitude may have gotten you quite a bit, but you were able to endure it until the bitter end.😊
Every deck is "toxic". We're all stopping each other to play one way or another. I've had a rough duel or two that made me not want to return. Every time I go back I don't regret it, this game is too sick to pass up
Dude you need a backbone. You’re playing a card game that requires human interaction if you’re going to get that worked up because your opponent was throwing a fit like a toddler you might want to stick to games like uno. You didn’t even know the guy if anything you should’ve been laughing in his face because he was acting like a 3 year old over a card game.
Glad you won that, the feeling must have been amazing, i went once to a "bigger" tournament like that in my country and in 6 rounds had 2 people that behaved like that and i lost to both, only went to smaller local's after that, never going to an event again.
1:44 I would laugh at them like Robert DeNiro did in the movie Cape Fear 💀💀💀
5:26 I'd say:"Good, I honestly hope you do because people like you are the reason nobody wants to give this game a shot among many other reasons....Anyways, gg bro"
Went to a casual MtG tourney during Ravnica/Time Spiral Standard (I is old) back when new cards had a 2-week gap between release and tournament legality. One guy began _demanding_ that we let him, and him alone, use some Future Sight cards that weren't legal yet because "I'm goin' to the Pro Tour" and he claimed he needed to practice with them. Turns out that he's playing Dredge Return, a net-deck that was considered one of the strongest decks of the format once Future Sight became legal because it got two new cards (Bridge from Below and Narcomeba) that made the pile considerably stronger, and wanted to beat down on people playing less-tuned builds so he could feel good about himself. The "highlight" was when he played against a middle-schooler on U/R Tron and screamed his lungs out at the *LITERAL CHILD* for assembling the lands the deck is built around and demanded that they rewind the game to before then because he just hadn't bothered to pay attention to what his opponent was doing and wanted to redo things in order to beat a child.
Then we found out later that he got 0-2-ed at his big tournament and threw his deck in the trash because everyone was packing hate for his strategy.
To answer the question I was at locals I’m on swordsoul my opponent on pendulum as soon as he sees we were paired up he gets a smile on his face cause I’m a kid I quick 2/0 him and after the match his face lights up red and he pounds the table with his fist yelling did I really just lose to a kid and he got even more pissed
Nice to see young duelists👍. I would recommend some punctuation next time, as it's a little hard to read one big jammed up sentence like this
Your opponent thought he's playing Nexus Duel 🤣🤣🤣
I'm sorry to hear that man. That sucks
I remember I came back into the game when the lightsworn deck dropped. I bought 3 of them at Target for $30. I went to a locals and beat a guy who was bragging about his $300 Shaddoll deck. He got mad at me when he lost. Then beat me with his dragon ruler lightsworn deck.
Sorry you had to experience that! I appreciate your content so much not just cause its entertaining but because its also super welcoming to the community!
Akemi,
When I first started dueling when links first came out, Yu-Gi-Oh was truly wonderful. Other than having watched some classic Yu-Gi-Oh, everything was new to me. At locals, I didn't care if I lost. I marvelled at people's decks, their strategies, chaos max dragons, and I was excited learning about it all.
Today, I know how every deck functions. I understand what's garbage, troll, and good in terms of decks. I'm still a casual at heart. Let me tell you. People who get salty over Yu-Gi-Oh are the ones who shouldn't be playing this game. Yu-Gi-Oh is a niche game and fellow duelists are all we have to share the game with.
There is no place for toxicity in real life Yu-Gi-Oh. If you start seeing your opponent in real life being defined by the deck they run, it's time to take a break and do something else in your life.
Has happened to me multiple times. Its cause these dudes pay huges amounts of money to build their decks, then it doesn't work out for them and they are forced to play with the rest of us the plebs, as they call us, that don't have the cash to be competitive and their ego can't handle it. This behaviour I feel is a direct result of Konami's TCG practices when it comes to their product model for the TCG.
It creates elitists that just want to show off their wealth and superiority to everyone else, then they fail cause they were unlucky or 'cause their opponents drew better or soul read them correctly and they start flipping out to everyone around them. They are straight up adult children, it's a big reason I don't really care about the whole thing of pros quitting and such. I mean yeah I get it prizing is shit it has always been shit. Low budget and casual players have been complaining about this for years and calling what konami does unsustainable and unafordable for normal people, it's only now that even the elite players are getting constricted from how expensive things have gotten that they also finally complain. Its too late now though, when normal people were saying how absurd 600$+ was for a deck people were saying that then the game is not for you, that you should go to another game.
Well people did go to other games and konami has taken things so far that even the "rich" yugioh players are now starting to feel the pinch and now they are starting to complain. I feel its too late now, the most influencial competitive voices through the years have fostered and created this community to be so competitively and results focused that the result is this. That the yugioh community now mostly consists from super invested dudes in their late 20s and early 30s that feel deserving of fame and clout just because they spent huge amounts of money. I am sad that Jess left 'cause I feel she and maybe 4 more well known names have had a positive impact in the community in general in the last 2 to 3 years, but it was too little too late and in no way am I saying it was their responsibility to fix this. It was konami's responsibility to fix things and stop the toxicity, but it made them money in the short term so they didn't care. Now things aint gonna get better or be able to be fixxed for a long time and unfortunately people that wanted to have fun like you are gonna suffer the consequences or just straight up just leave the game 'cause I am almsot sure things are gonna get way worst before they get better.
Anyways sorry for the runt a bit bitter about this 'cause you have no idea how many times I've been dogpiled in locals for daring saying that the game is expensive to compete in and play or how I straight up was harassed by players like the guy you discribe and their friends for me daring to win against them with my dumb funs decks. Or ofcourse also of me to even dare to top locals and deny their friends from prizing or even do well 'cause I was able to soul read them correctly. All in all I wish you never have to go through this again 'cause in my case it has happened one to many times to the point of even getting slightly put off when a bud of mine suggests we go play at locals.
Thanks to anyone that has read my whole runt and yeah understandably I've become somewhat bitter with yugioh, the way konami handles the TCG just isn't for people like me that just want to go play and have fun and try new decks I feel.
The elitist part is so correct. QCR cards, high rarities, metas etc. I stopped in 2017 when I made an ABC deck for locals
“Should’ve played birds”
I bet your opponent was also looking a giiiiiiirlfriend! Lmao! But jokes aside, that's very unfortunate man! Keep up the good content my guy! Cheers! I think all of us viewers are glad that you cooked him! 💪🏻
Was at locals this past Thursday and played in my first tourney in many years as I'm a casual player by heart, my round 1 was a fiendsmith snake eyes player and I was on centurion I took the round 2-1 hit him with the calamity lock and had more life points in time on game 3.
Afterwards i got the salty " i slow played" excuse it was a shocking but satisfying feeling to take a win over the best deck.
I remember playing in a casual locals (No meta decks nor engines) at a mall back in mid-2023, and I was 1-1 against an Eldlitch Stun deck while playing with Morphtronics. He flipped skill drain and I was about to quit because I had no out to it. But I remembered that skill drain still lets you activate the effects of monsters, THEN they get negated. So I purposely negated celfon's effect to be able to use witch's strike. He then told me to kill myself. Ah, memories
Illegal play on your part, Witch’s Strike can only be used if your opponent negates the activation of a card or effect, but Skill Drain negates the effect, not the activation.
@@donfusilli Oh shit, you’re right. Now I can see why that happened.
Meeting you briefly was dope that weekend we had a weird handshake because I was in a rush. You are dope my guy.
If I dueled you : why am I so bad at this gave!!! I'll never get a giiirrrl frrriieen!
Tell me you're not mad for spending $1000 worth of deck, losing to some vegetables, without telling me you're mad 🤦♂
People need to understand that meta decks doesn’t makes one guaranteed to be winner. I play Ashened which isn’t a meta and still beat meta like Tenpai, Snake-Eyes etc.
My funniest experience is when I lost in locals to a beginner who played Ojama! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I’m still not sure whatever I had bad luck or he is a hidden prodigy! 😂
as a budget player, my worst experience was playing people someone in a competition was no oral communication. He just pointed at everything
That's pretty funny, guessing he had a bad experience in his earlier matches, but obviously inexcusable. Never played board yugioh, but have gone to chess tournaments, I would have just called a judge.
He's talking about Titto Marret from Luxury Gaming. He consistently does this, even at locals.
yeah thats what i heard too, guy goes to locals at the lux gaming store in the mall by me infrequently, i never played against him but yesterday he was there for the world celebration event and someone ON HIS OWN TEAM btw, called him out about it during locals
the worst experience I've ever had in yugioh was when i was playing at a regional round one it was me playing heat soul kash my opponent was on blue eye's I go first and go full combo and pass he activates a monster effect i use Finn's effect he grabs my Ulti Finn, reads it and then crushes it in his hand, me being mad was an understatement lol
I hope you called a judge and forced him to pay for it.
These type of people are the reason why pros are leaving the game. People just want a pay to win game rather than having people play what they want . I've had people tell me they wanna quit after losing to my plants dude, don't worry about them!
You make me quit yugioh? Bro the irony, im still not playing yugioh cause of decks like his, and he has the audacity to tell people with more diverse decks they win just because they could not prepare a side deck option for it. Gg my friend. Im going through him with dark magicians to make him stop for good
3:23 he’s right about the other guy if he was actually playing runick stun
3:22
Mine was during a Win and In for a Top 8 of some big local event. Game 3 my opponeat made a sever illegal action that was game warping and couldnt be walked back. I called him out, and he said, "let's just play out the rest and ill give you the win". We play it out and I proceed to get flooded 5 turns in a row, and he gets me in a hand loop. The game ends and when I have him sign the slip he denies any of that stuff happening, and when I called the judge over despite everyone backing up my claims the judge still gave him the win. So not only did he cheat, but I had to get astronomically unlucky, and then the judge had to for some reason believe this one guy over me and 10 other people. I will say that the dude at least had the right mind to never show up to one of our local shops again after pulling that. I had a really good relationship with all the local players, and after I left super upset everyone who stayed behind tore into this dude up. That next week one of his buddies aplogized to me and said that pretty much everyone knows about it, and no one messes with him anymore. At the very least while it sucks to miss out on a tournament i was really confident in, at least the dude who cheated me didn't get away with it.
Just know that even in your story, these people will always get what's coming to them.
Two weeks ago, I brought my favorite deck Adventure PK Horus VS Tear, and during round 2 game 3, I activated Cherubini effect to foolish a lvl 3 target himself for the attack buff, and he tried to negate with cryme and he got flustered about the foolish on Cherubini effect being the cost, so he basically negated the attack boost for nothing. I didn’t win that match but I’m sure as hell I won the mental
I meant not nothing. Cryme shuffles, so it at least cleared the Cherubini, and if he was competent, gets a fuse with the send effect of Cryme. Definitely NOT what you should be negating, but still
I was beating a Tear Kash Horus player with Sky Strikers and he got salty at me for my habit of separating spells from other cards in my GY (makes things easier for me and my opponent when I play SS) cuz "it's not a tournament-legal thing to do" even tho we were at a local
It truly blows my mind how badly some people deal with their ego getting hurt
🤔 that should be fine to do ... Moving the graveyard or banish pile ... There's no Hard rulings against moving the graveyard or banish piles when looking through them and sorting
That's why I am against money prices. I understand pros being tired of winning nintendo switches but just look at how insufferable his opponent was, imagine these kind if people playing for money lol
Good on you btw akemi for keeping your cool. The best revenge against such people is to not be like them :)
Same. Just cover the travel cost and that's all bro. Easy and done.
I wasn’t in the yugioh tournament here in Iowa just watching at the table, and this one player had an exodia deck of copies and other stuff, the referee noticed the player cheating and banded him from the store, he freaked out and flipped the table. Cards going everywhere one card went my way and it was a copy of red eyes dark dragoon, I asked him if he wanted his card back he said no I’m done playing
those are the pros everyone is talking about, they are all quitting because they cant handle being beat by a deck thats not 1000$+
Dude I'm sorry you had to go through that! People like that ruins tournaments and events for EVERYBODY!!
That guy sounds the friend of a head judge of the Pokemon TCG that I was playing against. I was playing my Gardevoir Gothitelle deck(this was back in Generation 5 of the Pokemon TCG) and when I shuffled my deck like I was supposed to, he called a judge over as he attacked me verbally because I shuffled and he said "YOU DON'T SHUFFLE LIKE THAT!!" and when the judge came over, the judge said I was doing the right thing and the guy was cursing me out in the match so I couldn't focus and since he was the friend of the head judge, he got away with it! So in other words they condone cursing around young kids since it was a for fun tournament, and I went to the head judge and said "If that kind of behavior is acceptable, and you condone cheating....then I want no part of this" He asked "What are you saying?" I put my deck down and said "I QUIT!!"
Since I never uttered the words I quit, you could hear a pin drop in that room since I'm the kind of guy who doesn't outright quit!
W
I'm 29 and I played over 12 years ago and this was a common occurrence where I played, you also had players who would call the judge every time you killed his monster or damaged his lifepoints, those who literally flipped tables when they lost one monster and those who cheated out the wazu. It's in all tabletop games unfortunately.
Man I feel really bad for you; tough experience. I don’t usually compete in tournaments or locals, but there was one time when the entry price was a sleeve that my friend wanted. Since he couldn’t make it, I played for him and used his deck in the competition. The tournament was Swiss format with 5 rounds. I was 1-2 when people started dropping out. When I went to claim my entry prize, they asked if I wanted to drop out (half assuming I'm dropping), and since I don’t compete often, I just said I wanted to continue. One of the judges then mocked me, saying something like, “No, no, don’t drop him; let him play" or something like that. At that point, I decided to drop and gave the sleeve to my friend. Fun game, but sometimes the community and people can be dicks.
That's so toxic, absolutely should call judge or tournament rep. It's a game, everyone plays how they want to play that's what makes it interesting. Zero reason to be that rude, thanks for uploading your story!
I played Yugioh way back in the day, and I had a couple opponents like this. Unfortunately. It’s a game. Lol. No need to treat people that way. That guy sounds like a complete child.
I switched to Pokemon later on when I made some friend with their local community. It’s sad that people exist like this in many communities. I’ve dealt with them in Pokémon as well. Sad to see honestly.
Yugioh is my first love when it comes to competitive TCG and I’ll always love it. Sucks to hear that happened to you.
Holy cow, that guy was being the definition of toxic. Months ago, when I was getting back into Yugioh, I went on my lgs's Discord to see if anyone wanted to play. It was commander Sunday, but there was at least a table for the Yugioh olayers, cool. I walk up, and the defacto leader of the group was very nice and asked if i was the guy grom Discord. I said yeah, and him and everyone else welcomed me with open arms. Note, I normally don't play anything remotely competitive. Yugioh isn't my go to game, that being for Pokémon; i gave up on Magic since I felt shunned for using older cards. Anyway, I sit down and brough out a x3 structure deck. The guy across the table, brought out his tournament ready deck, and smokes me. The leader was checking out the game, and saw how quickly he beat me. Leader saw the guy's deck and knew that he purposefully used his best deck to smoke me. "Okay, okay, you got me. I just don't know what else to play against the new guy." He fishes around in his bag, and brought out a lower tiered deck. I switched and brought out my Ultimate Dino Tyrano. I was able to bring out my boss monster, and he goes "Yeah, you got me. I don't have an answer for that. GG." That felt great. But then he goes on to smoke me the next game.
Granted, its not as toxic as others have experienced. But this was my first time playing against someone else after years of deck testing by myself. I understand that this lgs is competitive as hell. All of the players in all of the games the store supports, are sweaty. These players are out for blood and go to all of the tournaments, even the regionals. But if a new player comes out to see what the community is all about, you don't squash them in their first game. You don't bring a bazooka to a gentlemen's duel. I saw that another player came over and i asked if they wanted to play, they said yea, and I got uo so they could get in some games. Me? Even though I did get a win, I was ready to go. The leader saw that I was packing up and said thanks for showing up. Yugioh nights are normally during the week at nights, and that I should come back and check that out. I said thanks for the invite, but I work 3pm-11:30pm Mon-Fri, and unless I request a day off, me showing up during the week is highly unlikely. "Regardless, the invite is always there when it works out for you." Like I said, everyone was very nice, answered my questions as to how to combo correctly or how to use a hand trao effectively. But that first game and how the olayer handled it left a sour taste in my mouth and gave the wrong impression as to what sportsmanship is all about. I shelved Yugioh shortly aftet that and moved on other games. Lorcans for a little bit, Digimon, revisited Magic, but landing on Marvel Champions. Maybe someday I'll go back to the lgs and give it another go. But for now, I'm content playing by myself.
Sorry to hear that you experienced that man. People suck.
I’m more of a local player and only ever competed in a YCS (YCS Tacoma in WA 2015). At my locals, I was playing Machina Gadgets or ABC, I forgot which deck. I was a newish, entry level player and had an older gentleman, named Jim, who played I think something with deep sea diva. He was not a nice dude and would always call judge for everything. Literally everything including examples in your skits. It confused me and made me a little frustrated because I was tryna play the game. He got mad that I had answers (torrential tribute to boards, solemn warning boss monsters etc, old school stuff back in that era). His attitude was similar to your opponent; it was so bad that other pro players I knew stepped in to correct him and defend me, while he was tryna defend himself. Store owner caught wind of it and said that was it and banned him from the store again.
Can’t believe this man I’ve met you at like 3-4 regionals and you always take the time to take a pic and you’re super chill you definitely don’t deserve this you should’ve called a Judge and had bro chucked out the venue
Not Yu-Gi-Oh, but had similar experiences with table top games. The problem is universal, although the community has to step up and do a bit of self policing to keep people like that either acting better or get them out of the competitive atmosphere, because they clearly can't handle losing in a tournament. Although if you're not expecting it or unprepared it can catch you off guard.
Next time I would call a judge over for unsportsmanlike behavior. If he's doing it to you, he's probably done it to others and at other tournaments. Losing sucks, but at the end of the day it happens, and it's not up to you or anyone else to teach him about graceful losing during the middle of a YCS Nats event (that's what the anime is for lol) or bear the burden of his salty mood. (You didn't do anything wrong this time, I'm glad you kept your composure, but for next time make sure to call someone with authority over whether that's event staff or a judge).
Not one of my worst situations but one of my most satisfying for sure
This was back during grass format i double omega my opponent and i see that hes playing chain burn and clapped him silly game 1
Game 2 he chose to go first sets 5 cards pass turn
I draw for turn drew denko sekka, i go to stand by, main, he said thats good, i proceed to normal denko and he instantly calls judge i was so confused. The judge walks over and he proclaims i didnt declare my phases and says i was taking back moves, judge says there mjght have been miscommunication, rewinded the game to standby and said either you flip all your cards now or it is in main phase and denko is in play already
He flipped some traps and i summoned utopia lightning and beat him down until it's game
Funny enough i run into the same guy during the following regionals he did the Norden zoo combo drew 5 and some shenanigans set full zoo board, i black rose him for his full backrow and otk'd him
“You are making me wanna quit Yu-Gi-Oh.”
Well I am indeed flattered sir lol
That guy was just mad because his mom was taking backshots for five bucks a pop behind a Costco. Hopefully he is nicer to the new sibling he is about to have.
One of my "favorite" experiences was during the Dragon Ruler Synchro format, and it wasn't even during a duel 😂
I was looking for a card for my side deck and was asking around at locals if anyone had this card for trade. One guy says he has the card and asks to look at my trades, was a cool dude, we talked about the format briefly, then he asks me what deck I'm playing. I tell the guy I'm playing Watt's (which I was at this time, trying to play an anti meta deck). Once I say this, he immediately closes my binder and hands it back to me. Confused, I ask him what happened, and he replies "I don't support bad yugioh decks." and he walks away.
This happened years ago, but it's a funny story I like to share now. Especially since that day at locals, I got in top 4 during Dragon Ruler format with Watt's 😂
I literally lost to watt's tonight was I was using branded despiesa.. .in game 2 after I won the guy was like.. .nah man don't even compliment me like that. .I was complimenting his style of synchro battle phrase summon play from game 1 and told me it was a weak deck. I was like.. okay... next time we can switch decks and play something else.. like dang.
