Will the Academic 266XL be offered in the alternate colors?

Wixoss next? 🥲

[@romanhardware]

I need advice, from personal experience when I came back into yugioh the game last sometimes just after my first turn or even before my first turn, so in frustration I wanted to come up with my own TCG and would like to know the steps into doing that and have you ever done a video on Duel Masters tutorial? I loved that game because it was a easier understanding of Magic the gathering for me and better in general.

[@alliterationgaming]

Thanks for giving our little game a showcase, Prof! You did a great job and I'll definitely be directing newer players to this guide. Let's go plus ultra together. 💥

[@makingsenseofus]

I’ve been playing this game since 2007, and I’ve never seen a better explainer video. This was so incredible, thank you for the time you spent putting this together

[@Soda_EditsFr]

You've been playing this game since I was born😅

[@softservee]

SInce 2007? Didn't MHA come out in 2014? Unless these game rules also apply to other Universus games.

[@makingsenseofus]

Yeah so Universus started out as the Universal Fighting System back in 2006. The game system stayed relatively the same through it all, but got a name changed to Universus and then started a really heavy MHA focus once they got the license. The OG game was based on fighting games mostly and collected all kinds of licenses - Street Fighter, Soul Caliber, Tekken etc. Eventually they got out of fighters exclusively, picked up Mega Man for a while, and now they have MHA. You could also mix cards from the licenses to make decks, so Ryu throwing mega busters and snake man throwing shoryukens at people.

[@markclifton859]

Wow, someone else who has played this game as long as I have!! I really hope they get the Fighting Game licenses back, considering the original inspiration for the game!

[@carlosbautista5531]

​@markclifton859 street fighter is coming back this upcoming year!

[@omrmatsu8378]

Hello Professor! As an up and coming content creator in the MHA landscape and the current #2 ranked player worldwide in the competitive scene I cannot tell you how much I appreciate a large content creator like yourself making content for the game I love so much, and I hope to see more of it in the future!

[@Bored_Barbarian]

Can you mix and match different universes? Like Todoroki having sub zero’s freeze attack? Lol

[@Bored_Barbarian]

(I just saw they have MK universus and hoping/assuming Sub is included)

[@teamfroglogcrogdog]

@@Bored_Barbarian yes. In any non My Hero Academia format, such as standard.

[@moondust-and-LunarGlitch]

Do you know how you can get started playing if there’s no events for it where you live?

[@ElizaShakiraMassani]

I have a fun question for you. Is there an online client?

[@svgdaddy7187]

So the QR codes for MHA Universus sends us to the professor, That's awesome. You've come along way from just magic. Congratulations.

[@kalosprismatic]

OMG! I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS UNIVERSUS! I started playing with the Mortal Kombat set. It's such a good game. Thank you for covering it, Professor! 😆

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

No problem!

[@Vermazing]

We have announced that we will be adding a "standard" format for people that want to use cards outside of the MHA format. Join the community for more info!

[@kalosprismatic]

@@Vermazing Are Universus sets now standalone and self contained? Back when it was UFS, each set was just another set. So you could bring Felicia (Darkstalkers) to a game vs Sub-Zero (MKX). Is that no longer the case?

[@olsongc8422]

@@kalosprismatic So, the trick with that is the "stand alone" came with the MHA set and started the "MHA-only" format. That said, Standard is still a thing and you can take MHA cards into Standard. You just can't take Standard cards into a MHA-Only format. Think of it like Standard vs Modern in MtG.

[@Vermazing]

@@kalosprismatic Currently MHA has its own solo format. But Older ips are in the standard/legacy format. You can mix in MHA cards in the Stand/Legacy format

[@LookADistarction]

Remember that none of these cards can replace your heart.

Dear Professor, thank you for making this video. This game is great and I hope that this tutorial will help making the community grow. Cheers from Poland and thank you for creating awesome videos through all these years.

[@Loraldria]

This is a much better video for explaining the rules in the same amount of time as the actual Universus channel

[@Talausia]

I played this game for years, back when it was called Universal Fighting System. I used to run tournaments for it. It is super fun!

[@Talausia]

@Calm101 I still have my Sakura reversal deck somewhere. Lol.

[@connorjensen9699]

I love it when the community college covers non mtg games. I would be interested in a follow up video checking in on the various non mtg games that have been covered in the past

[@WubWubPwny]

Thank you so much for this video prof. Honestly? i tried so many videos before yours, and they did not click. You explained it in a way that made it simple, broke down each step in order, in such a way that it was easy to understand.

[@gisa1694]

So excited to see this game picking up more & more traction as time goes on, it's such a fun game to play, both competitively and casually

[@ryokenangelos9229]

Been a UFS/Universus player for a long time. Really happy to see you covering the MHA format! This new format has brought a lot of life back into the Standard community locally as well! Thank you for helping to get more eyes on my favorite cardboard crack!

[@LunarPhoenix139]

Hey ryoken Angelos do you know what this reply you got is I got one to and have no idea what it is

[@CHEFPKR]

I hear this one is a lot of fun from others at my LGS. Might give it a shot.

[@juhrunning2096]

There’s a lot of how to videos out there but the Prof always finds a way to make the clearest, friendliest, and professional quality ones around. Thank you and great job!

[@iowatheboat]

Never cease to amaze us Professor. This is the first good how to play video for this game and encompasses everything a new player needs to know to start. Thank you.

[@acemaneuvers7575]

YOOOO WE MADE IT FAM

[@Arshen]

Can't wait to have this video playing in my shop.

[@daxamlhant7285]

Delighted to see the prof mentioning this game. I've been trying to get people into Universus since Mortal Kombat and this video explains the game fairly well

[@level3xfactor]

As someone who has been playing this game since it was called "UFS", it's awesome to see a channel like yours put a spotlight on the game! Thank you so much for all you do!

[@snowflake3114]

Whoa, I played this card game engine when it was known as Universal Fighting System (UFS). Back then about 15 years ago, I was playing cards based on Street Fighter, Samurai Showdown, King of Fighters. So yes, I very well know how to play this game already and very happy its managed to survive after all these years! 😁

[@talkUVS]

Just got into MHA a month ago and it’s awesome. Can’t wait for Nationals next month.

[@WraxTV]

Glad to see you cover this. Been playing since Street Fighter vs Darkstalkers back in 2018 (though I've been getting precons since the the first Jasco Darkstalkers set) and its been a ton of fun.

[@xBigMitch224x]

Let’s gooooooo! Love this game, and love to see it getting more exposure

[@MadaraStv]

Gotta love the time and dedication going into learning, and then teaching, so many other fun collectable card games, displayed by the professor! Looking into Universus, there are some really cool IPs! I can only imagine the day a video drops where the prof tries to explain Yu-Gi-Oh! in 90 minutes or less lol.

[@Stinkoman87]

He might try to start, then throw his hands up and bring in Team APS to do it for him.

[@ashtongaskill3980]

Huge surprise! I love this system and would love for the game to see more success. Thanks for the great vid Prof!

[@PlayfulOtter]

Wow. I had no idea this made a come back. I played many many years ago when it was called UFS and it was Capcom vs SNK, with a few other fighting games joining the mix over time. I loved that game, and I'm incredibly excited to see it return with new life! Thank you so much, Professor, for bringing this to my attention!

[@CrazyAuron1]

Was in the same boat as you, haven’t played for a while (since Sabertooth owned the game) and jumped in a few months ago. It’s going through some initial growing pains with limited card pool, but the game is fun enough and the issues should subside over time.

[@Mirioman]

It never died. Jasco took over about 13 years ago and have been keeping it going but it's getting new life with the MHA ip

[@PlayfulOtter]

@@CrazyAuron1 I managed an LGS when UFS first came out and I remember getting a call from a guy who worked at the UFS headquarters asking about selling the game at my shop. I immediately jumped and pushed the owner into agreeing to carrying the cards. I ran local tournaments, traveled to other shops around my state and other states running demos of the game. It was the first and only ccg I ever took seriously as an active player and supporter. (I only play magic casually). Long story short, I absolutely adored the game, but then it just sort of died in my area. Shops stopped carrying the cards, my boss closed down his shop, and things just ended. I had heard rumors that it was still going strong in Canada though. I'm just really happy to see it getting a resurgence, with a new name to as well.

[@PlayfulOtter]

@@Mirioman thank you for the insight. My perspective was clearly incorrect, as I saw it die a slow death in my local area. I appreciate you bringing new facts to me and educating me.

[@DristXantrum13]

Thank you so much for such a detail to the games mechanics. I have been playing Universus for 10 years and I haven't seen a video that explains it as well as this. Thank you for the exposure.

[@teamfroglogcrogdog]

Wow! Glad to see some My Hero content from the Professor. The game is absolutely wonderful!

[@elblackhavoc]

Didn’t even know this game existed. But it looks good. Less goooo

[@Leenoco]

Such an amazing video to watch! Thank you for the how to play! I have a couple locals that saw this and reached out asking when our local nights are and wanting to give the game a shot!

[@Kenku178]

Huh, it's the UFS system. Thats cool to seeing having returned. Also excellent explaning video!

[@adamcogan211]

What a great video idea! I love the show/manga but never played it before. Now I’m quite tempted to pick up some cards, even just for the artwork. I’d love to see the Professor try to learn Yugioh as a side series!

You can send in opened pack wrappers to get loyalty points as well as you get loyalty points for playing in events and these points can be used to redeem promo cards!!!

[@dbhlabs]

Love this game. Super excited for the next set. Thank you for making such a great tutorial!!

[@kevinmiller1881]

Out of all the videos (30 mins+) this has been the most informative one yet. You mentioned things that others didn't. When it comes to the 3 symbols, I thought you had to choose one of them for a deck. For example, you would have to create a life deck. You're one of those very rare college professors that explains things in a way that anyone can understand and ace the upcoming test. Stay cool professor. 🤘😎

[@andersolsen8104]

This is still confusing to me. Do you have to choose one and only one symbol, and then all other cards must have that OR can you use all cards that have 1 or more matching symbols from the character??

[@kevinmiller1881]

@@andersolsen8104 as long as the card has one of the symbols on the character card then it can be used.

[@andersolsen8104]

dang alright, then i have been doing wrong lol. Thanks!

[@luohanwei]

Thank you for this awesome video! ❤

[@JustABrokenToy]

the check system seems really neat, especially alongside the progressive difficulty and commit systems. it always feels so disappointing when you're just 1 shy of doing what you want in games in general, so I feel that a way to bump your numbers and hit the check gives players more agency, which is typically good. I hadn't heard about UniVersus before but I am definitely intrigued.

[@WraxTV]

The check system is a cool way to balance cards. Essentially really overpowered cards can be given low check values so that if you want to run those OP cards, you have to either: - Run a bunch of low difficulty cards to compensate for when you check that OP card, making your overall deck less punchy - Or just play recklessly with an OP deck and accept that the RNG gods will force you to skip turns every now and then (the High Roller method)

[@unboundjackal]

One thing the professor didn't mention is that if you fail a check and you don't pay or can't pay for the check then your turn ends which means you have to manage resources as you also need foundations and cards to defend yourself with so typically most decks attack 2-3 times

[@build3pass941]

I’m so happy you finally covered this ty so much!!! I love this game and was hoping you’d bring some much needed exposure to it! Excited to watch the vid and hope you enjoy it and maybe that I’ll see you at an event!

[@icefalcon2243]

I really like how you could play either of these decks against Sub Zero from MK, Chun-Li from Street Fighter or even Terry Bogard from KOF- if you had the decks of course… they are all very affordable unlike some of the other games we play.

[@krispydude1482]

This game is super good! Universes has been around for a long time and has seemed to hold a pretty consistent player base throughout.

[@shibert251]

Fantastic tutorial, so easy to parse!! Thank you!

[@Phlip45]

I loved playing this game back when it was called UFS. In UFS you didn't have to limit yourself to only cards from one of your characters symbols, you could play any cards you wanted, but during gameplay you could only play cards that contained a symbol that matched your character and every other card you've played that turn. That is a bit complicated to say and generally isn't done outside of really rare circumstances in the game though, so I see why you would omit that.

[@WraxTV]

They changed that rule in MHA format though, now all cards in your deck must share a single symbol. Which is a shame, I feel like certain characters like True Form All Might would really benefit from being to play Death cards through symbol chaining, but considering he needs to play either Good or All so he shares a symbol with all other versions of All Might, he doesn't get to benefit from cards like Excited for Blood or Super Regeneration. The Death symbol is basically just for show.

[@cronnie994]

I like these tutorials for other game systems. If you can, please look into doing one for the Final Fantasy TCG. It is a wonderful game that deserves more attention.
