History of Duel Links - The GX Era - Part 1

[@YTDan]

Hazy Flame, Gladiator Beast, Sea Stealth Attack... What a time to be a Duelist!

[@alexbruckshaw1448]

it really was

[@kindlingking]

Also Aliens being viable.

[@GSBroker]

Bamboo burn... what a time. The month I completely avoided ranked.

[@doublem3585]

Now instead we will have pendulum and arc v sooner. This is sad 😞

[@janaasplund7340]

Aswome video! I really enjoy playing duel links but were a bit late to the game, so I find this videos very interesting :)

14:08 "Ninjas came out of nowhere to surprise many players." Like real ninjas should!

[@HexManiac-nf1yg]

It's so incredibly fitting that they did that

I read this comment when he said it

[@drearydoll6305]

21:11 That was a nerf to make sure the owner couldn't just get an ancient gear beast on board if they go second as soon they get to play

[@Pie___]

Last night I saw the DM era video and thought to myself “oh, I hope he comes out with another soon” and my prayers seem to have been answered

[@sammydray5919]

Its so weird seeing all this craziness being documented like this when I actually had to play through these formats and remember everything he talks about as soon as the set cover shows up. This is such a fun watch 😁👍🏻

[@drearydoll6305]

17:27 Nope, it wasn't a duellinks exclusive card. It was release as in irl card in 2015 aka 2 years before getting in duellinks. It did even see irl meta play at some point as a way to do thing in main phase 2 without being afraid of S/T

[@Enseraku]

Yep, this card came out IRL in the set “Duelist Pack: Battle City” many years before Duel Links.

[@personpersonal5756]

Ye I was so confused when he said that

[@YukiJudai91]

Yeah def an error.

[@Sillimant_]

I'm still stunned how good this content is right out the gate

[@kirinni2021]

I think the fact Cyber Angels was very f2p friendly was what propelled it to Tier 0 so easily. You could essentially build it same day by levelling Alexis. And chances are you already had a Senju/Sonic Bird in year 1 anyway. The ladder was FLOODED

[@LightFykki]

I remember back when aliens were released. It was one of those archetypes that effectively were free-to-play, but still somehow competitive up to certain points; and very importantly, they were actually kinda fun to play with.

21:12 Middle Aged Mechs mostly got nerfed by that, actually. If memory serves, most ST removal was quickplay at the time, so it didn't particularly matter whether your Castle was already on the field turn 1 or not for that. More importantly, it made sure that players could no longer easily summon Ancient Gear Beast when going second, which, surprisingly, had previously become the unofficial boss monster of the deck rather than Ancient Gear Golem, thanks to its ability to be summoned immediately on turn 2. The nerf effectively pounded the usage of Ancient Gear Beast into the ground.

[@0047David]

Can't wait for the rest of this series. Great job so far

[@dandeleon2764]

My favorite era of Duel Links. Also, Alexis STILL has the best OST of any character in DL.

[@x-mighty7602]

For me it's Akiza, but Alexis' ost is still pretty good.

[@themarshian5124]

The most sexiest yes but best, nah Also Alexis >>>> Akiza theme fact

[@rudyramadhana4127]

Hers and Akiza's duel theme are both great

[@Officialbenji91]

:Laugh in Mako tsunami's theme:

[@r4nd0mguy99]

@jejd isns The newer characters also have good themes, like Reginald and Quattro. I might not like ZEXAL a lot, but the music is pretty good.

[@kite300]

I'm a year late and wow I can't explain how much I've been wanting to watch a video like this so... Thanks!

[@woolfgangmozrt20]

Please pretty please, dont make us wait 1 month for another video. This is top quality informative videos that we just cant get elsewhere.

[@PaddySteadyGo]

This is pure nostalgia, thank you so much for the great work! Little critiques: It would be nice to see some decklists here and there.

[@TheChosenSeal]

Thank you for making this. It was really pleasant to live through nostalgic memories again with help of your videos. And I really love your way to edit these videos. Once again, thank you!

[@Silulaya]

I know literally next to nothing about yugi-oh but the way you format these videos makes this information fascinating to me

[@oko7390]

I was right. I totally enjoyed this video. You're doing such a great work with those videos, thank you man.

[@baguettaroshish3507]

Banger, can't wait for part 2

[@Serperi0r]

Alexis was my favourite character in GX but she suffered from shounen female characters where they are highly regard in-universe but the show will mistreat them to be damsel in distress to be saved and fall in love with the protagonist. Imagine my surprise when Cyber Angels were a meta deck that are still quite viable even now!

[@YukiJudai91]

Hi man. I've been playing since the pandemic started. Really love this series as I learn about the history of this game before I played. Keep it up! Thank you so much for your time and effort.

[@Chook181]

I love the Falsebound Kingdom music you use in these videos! So much nostalgia!

[@rickyrobby2299]

As someone who joined duel links during the zexal era, this is a really cool and interesting history lesson; keep up the great content.

[@andresraffler]

I've never been anticipating a video as much as this one

[@Goose____]

Hey man, i know a video like this takes forever. But i got in this in channel because of this series, so please, i could watch a 30 of these lmao. Anyways, amazing work, 10/10 !!! Cheers from Argentina !

Welcome to the big leagues Good Lord man, we’re only about a year into this and this is somehow crazier than I expected

[@nightshard7651]

I didn’t think we would get it this early but I’m not mad. Great job

Crazy how well edited this video is. Your doing great man like the first part.

Dude, these OST's from Monster Coliseum are killing me with nostalgia. Loved that game as a kid.

[@ucuucu3111]

been waiting for this, tq for uploading.

[@runningoncylinders3829]

April 2018 is when I found this little game. What a crazy time: Fur Hire Tier Zero on the horizon, Vampire, Sylvan, Amazoness, HERO, SSA, Spellbooks, and even Weevil Cancer decks made sure there'd be a lot of variety whenever I tried my hand at the pvp, all while obtaining and grinding the characters. I'm pretty nostalgic for early DL, and I'm always excited for what's next.

[@tlsenator1221]

🥳 may this video be even more successful than the first

[@arbyaenax]

You should do History of Duel Links and show as many decks meta as possible, it would be even better than Progression Series

[@encryptico]

Loving this series about the past of Duel Links! It's so nice to see how the meta was and shaped around new releases.

[@patrickgannon4268]

Bro your putting out such high quality content thank you!

[@k-dawgHI]

I love the quality in these videos!

Subbed and waiting for the next vid! Just started playing DM and watching its history is very very fun.

[@Cassapphic]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention how the selection box had a hard cap on how many packs you could get with gems and if you wanted more than the small handful they gave you paying was your only option

[@Dio_kazuhira]

Loved this series so far. Can't wait for more.

I really loved the pace of this era. It felt a bit slower and skillful but maybe I just have BEWD ptsd. Great video series. Keep up the good work!

[@Fencer_Nowa]

oh god a new one. as a tcg player i'm ready to be amazed again at what weird stuff was good in duel links that was just never good irl.

[@Enseraku]

I started playing during the GX Era. I heard Aliens was budget friendly and also a competitively viable deck so I picked it up. I had so much fun during that era. So many fun and viable decks being played. I remember climbing up my way the ranked ladder with Aliens up to the tier right before King of Games (Legend I think?) and then quitting a little while after. But this was seriously the most fun I had with Yugioh in such a long time.

[@Straswa]

Great vid, I had no idea Hazys were that popular back then.

[@xXxSickology101xXx]

Back then lots of modded apk so they never guessed wrong

[@acicon]

When I got into Duel Links, DSOD was the new include. And as a person trying to get back into YGO (coming from the DM era), seeing the history of Duel Links as a game and learning about all these cards is immensely interesting. Can't wait to see more.

[@NBJuli_]

ngl this is giving me nostalgia

[@angelgomez9549]

As a competitve duel links player since the beginning, Well made video! Just a few mistakes here and there but that's understandable since this game is so old

I played this game at this time. Feels good to relive the cards and find the themes again. Now I am to Google how much support those got specially the Bujin.

these are absolutely amazing

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

3:28 Huh. Bastion got a Bone as one of the first GX characters in Duel Links

[@syaefullrizcky]

I think the reason for balance first nerf is not because handless deck but because its used by cyber angel for always opening with monster and spell

[@hastamanasti]

Great video! Only thing is that anti magic arrows wasn't duel links exclusive, it came out in the TCG in duelist pack battle city

I first ever played duel links at arkana's release. How much this game has evolved. Im sad I lost that account.

[@rabitt24]

Great Work keep going

[@geossi]

It's a common misconception that Anti Magic Arrows were Duel Links exclusives when in fact they were released in the TCG back in 2015 in the Duelist Pack Battle City

[@Marshenanigans]

You sound like you're in academia! Love your videos!!

[@kaison12205]

Can’t wait for the noble knights fur higher era

[@eliasbeaini5550]

when SSA was a tier 1 deck but aliens was “the most impactful archetype from abyss encounters”

[@covershopkid]

Great videos! But can I recommend adding deck lists screen shots to the videos when you talk about decks so we can see the whole thing rather than one specific part of the strategy you speak about?

[@Racer5]

You forgot to mention the part where Konami would go on to make so much money off of the Kaiba Corp Bling skill 😅 Some people would spend their entire life savings on getting a core prismatic/glossy UR or SR for their deck 😂 In all seriousness though, keep up the good work! These are fun to watch and phenomenal for your first videos.

[@TheLawYGO]

shhhhhh, don't spoil it for them xD That part comes later
