Lmao "the scientific graph" 😂😂😂😂

48 hours after i publish this video, konami released Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon in a Deck Build Box. because of course.

Or make it so that no one can attack until after turn 2 that gives everyone ample time to get ready and attach first energy, the first two turns you can play item, support, and trainer cards you can fuck over your opponent

Red Eyes did see some usage upon Release with Roa Kassidy, but not for long bc Dragias.dek was still better Red Eyes also have some potential there imo thx to Galaxy order as a somewhat splashable Option if new Support comes out

Didn't know Cyber Angels became meta back in the day. Thank you duel links history class.

10/10. Excellent graph. Very science

15:00 I remember Archfiend getting only one KC Top, it was the deck that only runned RE Fusion + the material for the fusion + monster/backrow removal, the idea was to have luck to go second, simply clear the board and otk with Archfiend, and the fact that you win/lose pretty fast (I mean you go first you already lost most of time) made the deck play multiple fast games, luckly enough the player got a KC Top with it.

Summer 2017 red eyes zombie beatdown. PTSD

Need more history vids.

This video reminded me of my depression

I like these retrospective content only thing I knew about red eyes duel link wise is it was a recommendation for an auto duel deck for missions lol when I start in 2020

Not a fan of them myself. Kind of sick of all the events being directed towards it. Which the game may as well be called skill links anyways.

That's a very SCIENTIFIC GRAPH

Black skull dragon was in wonders of the sky mini... goddammit now im that POS.

Shout out to xerox. He's probably the beat competitive red eyes player in links history. Dude made red eyes viable in metas where ppl wouldn't take a 2nd look at the deck

The Archfiend of Black Skull fusion was used in a otk deck on ladder for a sec. Just jamming waves and lightning vortex to clear the board into archfiend to get around hand traps and one shot

History of BLS please 🥺😂

It's impressive you were able to mention all the developments of red-eyes in 2024 in this script you wrote a year ago. Your gift of prophecy is perhaps unmatched.

Browser history.

Gamea was a place of straightup degeneracy, lmao. There was no moderation in those chat rooms and it was worse than DL's somehow

History of ojamas next pls 😭🙏

History of Toons next lol

Misty has a good concept, but a bad design. It goes from a card that totally sucks, to a card that is good, to a card that is totally broken and abusive. In my experience, according to print screens, it rolled tails more than 50% of the times. And it's not only with me, with my opponents it also rolled tails more than 50% of the times. So, most times, it's a card that sucks and don't allow you to use a Prof Oak or Sabrina. Sometimes it's a good card, attaching 1 or 2 energies to you pokemon. And sometimes, it's a turn 1 win, or it totally wins a game that was ballanced. My sugestion for it: "You can't use this card on your first turn of the game. Choose a water pokemon. Roll 3 coins. For each head, attach 1 energy on the chosen pokemon" It would be a Moltres abilitie that can be used only 1 time and dont allow you to use other supporter card, but don't require to attach a energy and can be used on the same turn you can attack. It wouldn't be so frustrating, if you lose 3 flips, you kind accept it, at least more than having only "one chance". It also wouldn't be so abusive to roll so many times or to win on turn 1. It's also possible to limit it to 2 energies, altought rolling 3 coins, or making something proportional to the number of the turn you're playing, like turn 1 only 1 coin, turn 2, two coins, up to 3 coins.

Unless you open Archive skills and the last few sets, the game is not going to be fun for you. I only grind old cards out of Nostalgia

Basically same as my thoughts up until #3 of how solve the issue. I argue the exact opposite, that no skill should have any restrictions (and power level balanced according to that). The restrictions completely killed half the game. When every skill says "this skill only works if you run exactly these 17 cards and your choice of 3 limited cards" that is half the game gone. The restriction part of each skill is also the longest paragraph that makes skills so unreadable as an added bonus.

I wish you could filter online like you can make it so you duel only what series cards people can use

No. Go play MD where "sKiLLs dOeSn'T kiLL dA gAmE" and come with a more elaborated argument.

Skills is what ruins duel links game is bad and u cant tell me otherwise because if you think it isnt youre delusional. Theyd add a skill for tearlaments that plays field spell from deck or send a card to graveyard. Like what is konami on

Battle chronicle wtf

Revolution is such a bs skill

I don't think skills got ridiculous until the op Shooting Sta Dragon one got released..that was the first one where they literally won their first turn unless you drew the out. After that a lot of skills followed suit where you just sort of win unless the opponent draws the out.

full agree they no balence (i dont know wtf is a skill)

It's ok to have skills, because Duel Links is sopposed to represent the anime and how they duel in the anime. The problem is that weaker decks that need skills to be better decks don't get any specific skills that makes it better, but strong decks that are already good by themselves get a great skill that they don't need to make the deck overpowered and annoying to play against. That is the main issue. Konami needs to switch it around.

*cough* skill issue... I know this one's predictable but yeaaaa the skill system is flawed especially if you wanna stay on unique terrain with every character

Tauros can oneshot Pikachu EX which makes it pretty interesting.

Im just hoping they do more of a ranked season over the 3 day or week long pvp events

It's exciting to see what else we are getting

CrimsonReaper aka Altergeist Glazer

Skills are a double edge sword. I love when a skill revives an old deck.

Why don't they just add the "Anti-Skill" From Vrains Season 2 😆 (Its a skill that was used to negate skills and could only be used once per duel) from memory

sincerely the design of the trainers / gym leaders is pretty well done, every one of them feels distinct and play into de feeling and personality that they represent, except for misty and brock, their design just feels lazy. Brock obviously plays into the pokemon that represent him, thats not the issue, Blane, Koga and Surge do this too, the problem is the effect, apart from being weak, bulding up a pokemon it's not something exclusive to ground/rock type, they stand out for being tanky, and sacrificing their health for damsge, like golem's explosion or onix's bide, maybe a they could have used some interaction with the pokemon being damaged, like gaining bonus damage on next attack based on the damage received, or gain energy based on how close is the pokemon to faint. Misty is te laziest of all, she doesn't plays into the pokemons more representative of her (Starmie, Golden, Psyduck or even Lapras) and her effect is not just lazy but also broken half of the time, maybe they thought of playing in the gimmick that some water types have to build up a big pool of energy to get some additional effect, like blastoise and lapras, if that is the purpose, maybe they could make her give temporary energys, that would allow her to come in clutch with a big hit, but wouldn't determine the rest of the game, the splash mechanic would be nice, but wouldn't make sense given that only articuno uses that mechanic, another good idea that i've seen in the comments is allow her to switch in a benched pokemon giving it an extra energy, not only would make very hard to use it for a first turn kill, but also kinda feels right, like water types being swift and fast, kinda like electric type, but in a different way. The problem with misty is that is the only trainer with that big of an effect that can determine the whole match, just compare it to Surge, he also gives a lot of energys to a pokemon, but the pokemon affected are limited, it requires you to have energys in play so no first turn potential, and the biggest effect that can have being setting a one turn kill with raichu, only lasts that turn, because raichu burns all the energys attached to him. additionally it feels like an electric type move, to channel all your energy in to one big attack, depleting your resources in exchange for a fast and poweful result. I hope they find a way to fix misty something that tones down the frustration that inflicts, but that keeps her relevant. And please god make them fix brock, for such an iconic character shouldnt be so forgettable.
