hell yeah !

i clicked cuz i saw suship

My locals in the uk makes use of Neuron for match recording since march-april 2023 - for the judge's convenience - however we do not use the numbered tables often as all duels involving kids happen right next to the judge's spot to help the kids if they need it (and to keep an eye on language used near them) When i started going there i got asked by a few people what i was planning to build and i said Lavals (i love those guys) and just got some cards i needed like hyper lib and even got to buy a Duel Terminal prints of some cards later on

Cool

Calling it a video essay gets a thumbs up for free. I hate video essays, but I like transparancy more.

Thank you for making this video. I am currently studying abroad in Japan and have been playing in the OCG since October. I have met some really cool people and it's a lot of fun. Im taking level 3 japanese at my school right now so it really helps knowing a decent ammount of Japanese. As well as studying the vocab that is common in Yugioh. I appreciate that you put in effort to learn a bit of the language to communicate with people it really does go a long way.

120 for a furnished deck? Easily the cheapest part of that trip

Such a nice video to watch, even though I'm currently off Yu-Gi-Oh

Any game with a ranking system where winning a game makes you go up 1/10th of a rank and losing takes you down a third of a rank or more is just a sisyphean social experiment.

Everyone plays the exact same deck or minor variations thereof anyway, so...

floo is such an interesting choice because on its own it plays super linearly, but when there's interaction the gamestates can get super gummy and complex so i cant imagine how nightmarish that might get in a foreign language good to hear it went well!!!

Me and a buddy wanted to play yugioh in Japan and decided against it, but when we got to the radio kaiken building we saw a shop selling decks and decided to pick one up and try to go play at a locals. We both quickly looked up terms and went to 2 separate locals. We had a wonderful time and I think the preparation you put in is really good but I think it is more than needed.

Great vid, we need more TCG/OCG crossover content. My experience in Japan has also been great, I went to 2 tournaments and people were very welcoming and it was fun to play OCG!

Awesome video! I am the friend who played in Japan and wanted to add one thing! I forgot my Voiceless Voice deck when we visited the shop in Akihabara. Luckily, they had additional preconstructed decks that were not official Konami products available for purchase that I was able to pick up for relatively cheap. If you find that you are unable to order cards ahead of time, this could be an option for you. I was able to purchase a Mannadium deck that I was familiar enough with to play that day.

Neuron did help with a lot with foreign languages, back then in high school 2013 i worked my ass off to learn Japanese just so i can play Yu-Gi-Oh with the adult in my area, Indo might be not officially supported back then and i can bought tcg cards if i can, but the price difference is absolutely unacceptable for high school students like me to justify buying TCG cards.

Zero escape music ❤

new ooc vid im pogging out of my mind rn

thats awsome u were able to play!!

Out of character's trying to flex in Yu-Gi-Oh players getting engaged and touching grass? Well, I sure won't.

Doesn't "エルシャドールネフィリムは好きなカアードです。" just mean "I like El Shaddoll Construct" and "増殖するGはちょっと・・・" mean something like "Maxx "c" is a bit..."?

6:26 what simulator is that?

Did that store paint Cardians on their wall!? I haven't seen that kind of energy in a long time. Congrats on getting married, and after comparing your partner to Ojama Green, congrats on sleeping on the couch.

Good video idea! I'm planning to finally visit Japan next spring and if I'm still actively playing Magic when I go I might have to make the pilgrimage to Hareruya. Magic's a bit easier though, don't need to learn new cards or decks that I haven't seen in English. I've never travelled anywhere that I used a language learning app for, how much would you say Duolingo helped with Japanese? Your pronunciation was quite good.

early to the vid, I wish i could do the same, I'm already in OCG country I want to visit Japan someday and also duel there!!

Hey there! First of all I love your videos. I've personally played in quite a few tournaments during my trips to Japan but haven't entered in any of the Official Satellite store tournaments. I had a ton of fun playing at unofficial tournaments in Tokyo such as "Ram Cup", "Fukufuku CS", and "Tulio_CS". People were incredibly welcoming despite the language barrier and I even made some friends that I still keep in touch with to this day! I was allowed to play with my TCG English cards in these events but I tried to pick up as much as I could in Japanese just to use as translations. It's amazing how Yugioh is a language in and of itself as communicating with my opponents was really easy outside of a time where I tried to explain that my opponent couldn't use OSS to put back a banished card with it's graveyard effect 😅 One thing to note about their use of Neuron, the EU region does the same for pairings and decklist submission at YCS's and even some regionals! It's still strange to me that the technology IS there and the US still doesn't use neuron for anything 😅😅

I never really felt like rolling dice made much sense for a card game. I know the rules say you should have them on hand and all but I think rock paper scissors is much more accessible in comparison.

My man's gonna marry Ojama Green

i mean in the US food isnt even nationally viewed as a human right

Technoblade quote means instant like button press. Well done and rip to the king

I think the solution is relatively simple: Have the time only go down when you are actually logged in, keep it 72 hours of gametime but give more than 3 days to obtain it. Not only do you mitigate the insane health risks you’re putting on your players, remember-not everyone has the ability to dedicate 72 hours straight to a video game. The greatest Yu-Gi-Oh player in the world could be Dan Smith from Connecticut, but he would never qualify for this because he has to go to his 9-5 accounting job in order to feed his family of four and he can’t take any sick days because he already used them up when he got pneumonia one time and his boss is breathing down his neck about completing in time for quarter and- Point is, if Dan has the skills, he should be able to prove it without real life getting in the way.

This is honestly the only time i can think of where doing coke would put you ahead.

TALKSPRITE JUMPSCARE AH

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

In the words of the immortal Furio Giunta Stupida facking game

Holy crap, it's the vale tudo of card games....

Definitely deserved a sub

Hey man could you talk even slower? I think you could have stretched this to at least 35 minutes

23:47 This is wrong. He couldn't raise in DP if he beat coughing babies with 0 DP since his average gain from a win would probably be 1000 but his actual gain from wins on average was 1003. The reason why he gained more than 1000 DP on average was that he sometimes faced tougher opponents.

is it reeeeally a human rights violation if its optional 💀

i have absolutely no clue what any of this is

1.5x for natural talking speed

simple, play literally anything else

homestuck?

10:30 I was just about to comment on variables that would impact the value of the card, glad you said something. Good video, very interesting. I don't play YuGiOh

The issue probably is that there isn't enough punishment for losses in the dc. People need to have a certain fear of losing, but in these tourneys it seems only the sheer amout of games (still with good winrate I know), is important. That is not the same with the OU ladder, it is a very well fleshed out system that rewards excellent winrate and heavily punishes losses to weaker opponents.

Looking At your Old content and it holds up like the Hoover dam fam. Much Love Nerd!! ❤🎉😊

Well done man! 1st regional and you get an invite, very very good

I'm a simple man: i see a Homestuck sprite, i don't click off
