Duel Disasters GBA Trilogy - Pikasprey

If you think the art here looks bad, wait till you play the PS2 game. The textures during duels are extremely low-res, and the pre-rendered cutscenes are done in Flash. I am not making this up.

[@StarShine480]

Now Pikasprey has to play the PS2 game.

[@otaking3582]

Gannon Benson I agree that Flash gets a lot of undeserved hate. The Wakfu animated series was animated in Flash, and not only does it look absolutely gorgeous, but it's my favorite Western animated series. The problem is that when people use Flash badly, it's very noticeably bad. At least bad CG or bad hand-drawn animation are usually Narm-y (aka "so bad, it's good"), but bad Flash animation just looks like it was made by either a high school student who was bored one day, or a soulless corporate entity.

Did you know that Shadow of the Code has a quest that you can't finish because one of the the dialog boxes of the needed NPCs is misprogrammed and crashes the game every time? And that after you get a quest, you can't cancel it or switch for another one ever? And if I remember right, there's a certain point in the story where after it, every story character's dialog has a frequent verbal tic of ending sentences with ", kid". And I don't mean one character, I mean multiple characters develop it like an infection, completely out of nowhere. It's like someone quit work for the week and said "hey George, I'm leaving, could you finish putting in the story dialog" and George was like "sure thing, kid"

[@gregoryhayes7569]

You know what the really weird thing about Duel Masters is? I was honestly kind of shocked to learn this - it's made by Wizards of the Coast. If that doesn't mean anything to you, Wizards of the Coast are most famous for Magic: The Gathering, a card game that Yu-Gi-Oh's author was a big fan of. Such a big fan, in fact, that he created a version of Magic for his manga, albeit one with highly simplified rules. So Duel Masters isn't just a cheap knock-off - it's a knock off of a knock off made by the same people as the genuine article.

[@TTInfiniteGaming]

he briefly mentioned this

[@sarthakarora3212]

The version he created for the manga is duel masters. It's the 2nd most popular card game in japan.

[@ScribeAwoken]

I'd say it's more accurately a knockoff of a parody, made by the same people as the genuine article. That said, it also has an official crossover with the genuine article - both Jace Beleren and Nicol Bolas have cards in Duel Masters, both of whom even have effects based on activated abilities they have in Magic (Jace has two effects based on abilities from Jace, the Mind Sculptor, while Bolas has an effect based on one of Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker's abilities) The story goes that after seeing the success of the Yu-Gi-Oh manga and its tie-in TCG, Wizards licensed out the MtG IP to a manga author, who made the Duel Masters manga. Wizards wasn't satisfied with the manga's focus on people playing the game, rather than being set within the universe of the game, and was reluctant to let the manga get an anime adaptation, so Wizards and the manga's author came up with an original, fictional TCG for the anime adaptation. In turn, after the anime proved a success, Wizards made an actual TCG out of the fictional one they made for the anime. So on top of being a knock off of a parody made by the people who made a genuine article, it's an adaptation of an adaptation of an adaptation, made by the same people as the original source material. It's a double Ouroboros of recursive adaptation. Shit's fuckin weird.

[@TravisEXUltima]

Duel Masters can also be titled as "Baby's First MTG Game"

[@GrimslyRyuzaki]

No he mentioned that duel masters what a knock off of yugioh, basically acting like yugioh did everything first

[@keiyakins]

Duel Masters isn't really a Yu-Gi-Oh knockoff so much as a spinoff of Magic: The Gathering tuned for JApanese audiences. It was - and still is - ludicrously successful over there too. That's how it got a show and everything. They relaunched the card game in the US as Kaijudo a few years back, along with a new show (that wasn't nearly as weird as the old one - it was actually really good imo) and it was all doing well until the Hub imploded, taking the show with it, which caused sales of the card game to tail off and saw it die a second death :(

[@Graceclaw]

Keiya Bachhuber sad!

[@yilvoxe4017]

I thought that system looked familiar! Me and my friends were super into card games in high school and I knew several kids who played Kaijudo.

[@Bulba413]

Wait... "Duel masters:Kaijudo Showdown" "Duel masters was relaunched as Kaijudo" Hmm...

[@swishfish8858]

I remember when it relaunched as Kaijudo. I just finished watching the Cardfight!! Vanguard anime and was looking for something new to watch, and didn't realize Kaijudo was a Duel Masters reboot until all the same monsters and the exact same card art showed up and I was like "...oh."

How To Draw Manga: The Video Game

[@Spiderotter]

RadioactiveMoth man, I hate those books so much...

[@Pyrithe]

The Duel Masters video games really weren't very good (I owned Kaijudo Showdown) but the actual TCG is up there in my top 5 TCG's. The game might have been made to try and bank on the popularity of Yugioh or Magic, but it still had it's fair share of originality. Shields instead of Life Points made it easier to keep track, and unlike the prizes of Pokemon which continued to boost up the player who was winning, the shield that is destroyed is put into your hand and could be a card that saves you, especially if it has a Shield Trigger on it. Then there was the mana system, which unlike Magic (or Pokemon) where you had to slot about half your deck into mana (or energy) cards, any card in Duel Masters could become mana. It made you choose, do you keep your 7 mana monster for later and put down 7 small cards for the mana you need, or do you sacrifice your big card for an early game monster that can get some fast damage in on your enemies shields? The monsters were also pretty solidly designed, and even some of the flavor text was pretty funny, although you have to see the cards to get the jokes. Just because you didn't like the video games, which is very, very understandable, you should still check out the actual card game, if you like card games. It's actually my number 3 game in my top 5, in case you were wondering, Magic is #4, Pokemon is #5, Yugioh is #2 and Infinity Wars at #1.

[@Graceclaw]

Pyrithe yeah the game is actually excellent

[@Bokune9999]

i remember having some duel masters cards as a kid... i remember this death smoke card (i think that was the name but im probably wrong) and there was a version where the art was a different color which was weird and neat... and now for the one flavor text i remember: "i think i need an umbrellaaaaa!"

[@pokegon100]

I agree. I guess this just shows the power that having good supplementary material has. If duel masters had a better anime and video games, do you think it would've done better in the west? Would it have still been going? It's not the second most popular card game in Japan for nothing, so I guess so.

[@kyuketsukirook]

"The game might have been made to bank off the popularity of YuGiOh or Magic' The game is made by the same people behind Magic, Wizards of the Coast. It was an attempt to get Magic (or something similar like Duel Masters) to appeal to a Japanese audience.

[@seanmyster6]

Obviously you don't need the most bleeding-edge graphics available to make a game good, but good lord, these games are just inexcusably ugly. Pair that with one-note gameplay and practically nonexistent story, and you've got a recipe for disaster.

I remember the anime for this having a weird dub that basically just recut and rewrote stuff to be constantly meta and fourth wall instead of a straight translation. It was kind of like a precursor to abridged series in a way, though I remember even as a teen not finding what I saw of it funny.

[@nelisezpasce]

Speaking of that, did the anime come out before Ghost Stories? It is still something of an affectionate parody though.

To those asking about hidden content videos in the comments: he's not going to make them if you keep bugging him about it. I love them as much as anyone, but if we keep annoying him about it he might do a rushed product to keep us quiet. So might as well comment something relevant to the video, since we want him to stay inspired and creative so we don't end up with a product looking horrible and keep getting good videos from him. The creators of the game in this video were probably making it because it could sell, and look at it's quality. Isn't this in itself a lesson to not rush him?

[@CheffBryan]

Or share interesting hidden content that they managed to find in a game that hasn't been covered? It'd be a greater way to get the ball rolling, and get the fans to focus on something productive!

[@johnkoch9315]

If I recall what I read on Wikipedia many moons ago when I was briefly nostalgia tripping for Duel Masters, which lasted about an afternoon as this video acknowledges it was only ever the flavor of the month at best here, this isn’t true and is more of an internet hoax or misconception. Each franchise had a “movie” released on the same day and billed simultaneously in Japan. This is actually more common than you might think, or at least it used to be. Anime would have non feature length movies, standard episode length with higher production value, 45 minutes, 1 hour, and build their way towards feature length films if they ever achieved those heights. Even the first One Piece “films” were not feature length, and weren’t for a while. Double (or more considering the length) billing is also more common among anime films released to theaters in Japan even in general, or at least it used to be. Fun fact: Grave of The Fireflies and My Neighbor Totoro were originally released to theaters on the same bill/ticket. I’m not kidding. A Duel Masters and Megaman NT Warrior film were released and screened together and a poster was made which prominently featured both main characters in a dramatic background which didn’t segregate them into exclusive sections to their own films. This lead to the internet rumors and misconceptions but as far as I know the characters never appear together or interact with each other. I’d also like to add that I may be wrong just in case, as I don’t feel a need to revisit Duel Masters which I only ever had a brief passing interest in, and was only barely aware of and never “into” Megaman NT Warrior.

Keep in mind the Movies and Card are Japanese exclusive, the Giga Chips are still part of the game.

Duel Masters was Wizards of the Coasts attempt to get new players into Magic the Gathering (yes it's was/still being made by WotC) soooo...the game was actually quite good (get some images of cards and play it) and YEAH the video games look TERRIBLE but the games itself (the gameplay) where true adaptations, still with a strange... "playfield" So you didn't see the full field like in the yugioh games, they wanted to go more for a "cinematic look" i suppose....but looking at the video of the first game... i'm glad that i started with the second game and yeah the final one IS better (but i actually didn't speak with the random NPCs soooo... i didn't know about the "good" jokes

[@infernaldisdain8051]

Duel Masters actually started off as a Magic: The Gathering Manga, but ended up with it's own game after a while. It is STILL going on in Japan but died off in America because of things like this and because WOTC tried to use it as a gateway drug to Magic. Which is honestly kind of creepy. I just wish they would have let this game grow here.

I remember loving Duel Masters when I was a kid, I had the largest collection in town of over 1,500 cards. I still have my Kaijudo Showdown GBA cartridge! It's more fun to remember than actually playing again.

IT'S THE CARDSHACK IT'S THE CARDSHACK...

[@tomasmateus17]

I loved those games as a kid damn...i was entertained by low quality 😭

[@miuiruxaaconite3120]

3:02 The ultimate battle! Tyson from Beyblade. I mean Tom from Duel Disasters vs Gary Oak, They didn't even try creating an original character. Playing a horrible version of Yu-Gi-Oh. Who will win?

[@paulkdragon]

You know out of everything that Duel Masters Trilogy has to offer I will say this The second game had the best music by far it's actually one of my favorites

[@benjaminbrady2385]

Oh boy, Pikasprey upload!!!

[@ginger-ham4800]

Duel Masters was quite literally Magic:The Gathering for kids, which ironically ended up being a better game mechanically as you don't have to worry about lands as much. Can't talk about how the game is mechanically now because I'm not Japanese but I do know that's it's the 2nd most popular card game in Japan.

For a series that got featured in Megaman Battle Network 5, I expected a whole lot more... I mean, you kind expect a big deal when two Giga Cards, Phoenix (Team Protoman) and DrkPhnx (Team Colonel), came straight from Duel Masters.

[@Exorian]

Welp it =was= better, with a set of rather good attacks appearing on BN 4,5 and 6. It was also a bit intrusive, you could say, as the protag from Boktai, Django, appeared in person on sidequests in 4 and 6. Intrusive, because him, as a human, was in the digital cyberspace AKA the internet. In physical form. Face to face with navis, which are A.I.s. By the power of dontthinktoohardaboutit.

[@seabit253]

Ah... My first Giga Chip. DethPhnx. I hated it. It was really confusing and despite me OWNING Kaijudo Showdown, I had absolutely ZERO idea that Death Phoenix was a DM reference. There's subtle advertising, and then there's that. It was just an awful chip. To be fair I didn't really like any of the BN5 Giga Chips with the exception of HolyDrem and Bass. Too many GigaChips rely on bugs or DarkSoul, and locks any sensible player out of wanting to use them. I also love how both Duel Masters Chips were stupid lazy just like their video games too. Eternal Phoenix has it's name cut down to just Phoenix. And the chip itself was named Pheonix. Nice spell checking there. Plus the chip is just Meteors, and then a healing chip. And Death Phoenix is just a recolor of Phoenix with an exact copy of Nebula Grey's attack. EXACT COPY. It even gets stopped by holes like Nebula Grey, and then performs a lazy Navi Recycle effect just like the BN3 White chip. Who would even look at that series with such abysmal chips? Especially when Django and GunDelSol were WAAAY more useful and way cooler. I may not have played Boktai, but Battle Network, especially Battle Network 4 with the Dracula's Castle scenario, makes me want to. That Solar panel peripheral idea sounds pretty neat.

[@shadestrider1033]

To be fair, the joke with the Buddhist was kinda funny

[@charmeleonevolves5553]

1:33 When you use windows movie maker for the first time

[@glitchedoom]

The art looks like they hired someone who's resume consisted only of "read a 'How to Draw Anime' book once."

[@bryanwharton6692]

@Pikasprey Yellow I was thinking that the artwork looked like the nutshack as soon as I saw it lol

[@ianhguthrie]

I used to play the card game (and the ps2 game) growing up but completely forgot about it's existence until I saw this video.

[@NanashiCAST]

why couldn't they just... translate duel masters advance?

[@gokuafrica]

Would you believe me if I said I spent around 500$ on buying those booster packs? Yeah, I was one of those rare people who did not know about yu gi oh

[@andyn2196]

I actually have this game. Man does this bring nostalga.

[@adelaestrella3338]

Andrew nepomyash wait you actually like this game?

[@andyn2196]

Adela Estrella did I say I did?

[@adelaestrella3338]

Andrew nepomyash yes bequse nostalga=fun

[@andyn2196]

Adela Estrella no it doesn't. Do you want me to find the definition for you?

[@tamaraadams1072]

[@mistahjenkins4826]

You know, I remember owning the first game in this series. I... Actually enjoyed it. The in-battle gameplay, I mean.

[@TheBatmaniac1]

"pikusprey" 😂 Just great. I remember Duel Masters though. I kind of enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty interesting at least. Not the greatest, but I enjoyed it as a kid. Might go back and take a look at the anime again. Thanks for reminding me about this old show. Also, good work on the video, like usual Pika.

[@EaglesCommander]

If I was a Duel Masters card, I think I'd be a Tree Folk!

[@Pikasprey]

Beast Folk are my favorite Duel Masters race.

[@MediocreGamer105]

Pikasprey Yellow beat jockeys are the best duel masters race

[@johndoe-ff9yw]

When I first watched this video, I got few minutes in before I thought, "is this an April Fools joke?". Then I checked the upload date. Nope, this is real. Turns out, the only joke...was on all of us.

[@KatieMya_]

It's called DUEL masters. But it's a trilogy.

[@nintendogaming7658]

Ragemaster its suppose to be like that in the title
