Sykkuno's Plot Armor Came In Clutch in First Duel against Ironmouse

[@ValleyChildX]

Dear god, even though she lost, Mouse has proven she’s on another level, because this video showed that she can do what no one else has been able to do on this channel…read their cards

It still kind of was, since Strong Wind had used Behemoth as the sac it would have had 3150 and she still would have had Blue Eyes, so she'd have had two power monsters and Behemoth next turn. But if we really want to get into it Sykkuno was going easy from the very start.

This is the first time that Sykkuno has said that the battle was close and he was actually genuine. To be forced to put his entire game into the outcome of a coinflip is tantamount to how threatening Mousey truly was.

[@keithwiechart7744]

@@omnibeta1876 I mean, I played Yu-gi-oh a long time ago with my brother, and I can tell you from firsthand experience that knowing what the card does isn’t everything. The combos that Mousey made were actually really good, and she had an actual strategy intended to kill. Every single other KZbinr Sykkuno has faced not only didn’t know what their deck did, but they had no strategy in place that would actually win them the game, that’s the difference.

[@Alovatololo]

*tantamount

[@RecordToDeathToBoredom]

lol crazy how she keeps calling him a nerd yet she's reading every card and making pretty good plays with what she has. Comboing Silver Cry, sacrificing Blue-eyes for a bigger beater that can inflict piercing. Oh, later I find that Sykkuno mentions she could look at her own chat for plays. Idk how valid that'd be with how fast a popular streamer's chat goes, but it's certainly a thing. Oh my God. AND Beaver Warrior to finish the game?! lmfao this man truly is the protagonist.

[@__Ven__]

She's not reading her cards, she's looking over at chat every turn and doing what they're all typing. Wish she at least tried to make it entertaining to make up for it. I don't watch a lot of Sykkuno but I respect him doing the anime protag bit to try and make beginner duels more fun to watch

That duel was straight out the anime. Absolutely amazing

[@awesomelord2536]

i wasnt counting but let's say there was 25 cards left (probably more). He drew time wizard which is 1 out of 25 then 1 out of 2 for coin toss. There was only a 2% chance of filian losing in that situation. Sykkuno needs a nerf

[@peacethrufire9341]

Damn I didn't see Filian hiding behind Ironmouse the whole video

[@alfianna2578]

You're right that the chance of this anime like scenario was close to 0%, but I suppose mouse went too far with her deeds of calling him a nerd. Sykunno nearly defeated by both her minions and her cruel words went into a flashback. Soon epic music began to play softly in the background, "I just have to Believe in the heart of the cards"-Sykunno says. Music now getting so loud as if blaring from all directions as Sykunno draws his next card to see time wizard! This single hope is his only chance of victory so he bets it all on a single coin flip. He lands heads and successfully defeats the evil mouse's minions and passes his turn. The evil mouse has nothing left and is now stunned at the sudden change she begins to laugh at the unbelievable situation. It becomes Sykunnos turn again and he finishes the evil mouse off with beaver warrior!

I'd like for there to be an actual official canon yugioh character like this. Just a character who would be really good and doesn't over-explain or need to have card effects explained to them cause they read their cards, and then call people nerds for roleplaying so hard.
