Cr1tikal Reacts To Why Was Yugioh SO AWESOME?! And... What Happened to it? | Moist Reacts

Fun Fact: the Yu-Gi-Oh manga was only going to feature the card game for one chapter, but the readers asked where they could get the cards to play, so the entire series was shifted revolve around it because of the support of the fans

The "Shadow Realm" is the best thing to ever come from 4Kids censorship wave

When he was naming cards with ridiculous names he missed out on interplanetarypurplythorny dragon

I love mashing two archetypes together with a shitty link between them

The part about sending cards to space, it was actually both. E-HERO Neos & the Neo Spacian archetype were in a separate capsule than Yubel, sent at different times, for different reasons. Neos and the Neo Spacians for the promo thing Kaiba was doing. Yubel because she was a detrimental threat to basically everyone in Jaden’s life as Yubel was basically a soul-bound yandere.

"what we got in America was the PUSSY version of Yu-Gi-Oh" So true man😂😂

Sad to hear about the creator of Yugioh, he died an absolute hero tho. Actual legend.

Yugioh is not a kids card game at all. It’s so insanely in-depth and unlike any other card game. It’s insane. So many rulings and things that have to be done before this other thing and if this happens then this might, so on and so forth. It’s crazy.

My favorite thing about yugioh was how the Egyptian god monsters can literally be destroyed by something as simple as fucking fissure... "These archetype cards can't be used in your current deck they need their own deck" despia has entered the chat

I took a break from 2005-2022 The learning curve was rough but master duel helped a lot. Far from an expert but I can keep up competitively now 😂

Oh my god, How did I only realize after watching. Charlie looks like the guy on Artifact Scythe

Reminder that the "Vehicroid" archetype that Actman complains about came out in 2005.

The Act Man of one of these duelists that when the opponent summons a Time Lord, thinks that the opponent is an idiot for summoning a 0 atk monster. Then proceed to attack it, wonder why they lost half their LP, and finally activate Raigeki just to find it can't be destroyed by card effects either.

Superrail Dreadnaught Gustav Max goes hard because it's literally just a card version of a giant Railway Gun the Germans had in WW1. That thing could shell Britain with how stupidly large it was, it took a couple dozen men to man it too. Please look it up if you've never seen it.

I think archetypes are one of the best things that have happened to Yugioh, because they allow you to explore many themes and combinations that you wouldn't otherwise explore. In addition to the existence of archetypes, it does not prevent mixing or trying combinations, it is not for nothing that there are cards with interesting synergies such as the Dogmatika-Invoked-Shaddoll deck that literally combines 3 different archetypes in a single deck. Also, I want to mention that the archetypes have allowed for amazing narratives to be told using the cards, just take a look at things like the "World Chalice" or the whole "Branded/Albaz" lore, which on their own could be their own anime.

A full video of "back in my day."

had a dude back when I started the game, he would literally pay for the whole room's tournament entries if they would just give him their Tournament Pack (TP1, with potential Mechanical Chaser), he ended up getting 3 of them in a few months, and would go on to win a big tourney where he got a giant Millennium Puzzle trophy. Kinda interesting to look back at on it now, lol

I came back competitively in 2016 and I still have yet to win a locals but I’m finally decent enough to consider going weekly again. Master duel definitely revamped my love of the card game

Iconic cards: Blue-eyes Dark magician Red-eyes Exodia Monster reborn Pot of greed Mirror force Call of the haunted (?) that one may just be me, since I have the second episode of gx where Chazz uses it and a guitar riff plays burned into my brain

I'm so glad I got out of Yugioh right before 5Ds when they added all the crazy stuff. I came back years later thoroughly confused and absolutely hated all the new summoning mechanics. Never got back into it becaue of that, but I'll still play some of the old games. Tag Force is a lot of fun still. All the Synchro Pendulum bs just put a bad taste in my mouth, I don't find it fun anymore. I don't have a problem with people who love the games still, though they often give me shit for my opinion. It just isn't for me anymore. I enjoyed the slower and simpler pace in the old days. Even the broken stuff was fun, Yata was hilarious. A little bird that just slowly pecks your opponent to death, depriving them of resources. I never should have sold my old cards. So many pieces of cardboard worth hundreds now.
