Why People Respect Joshua Schmidt. - YCS Utrecht

[@PhyYuGiOh]

Like This Comment if Runick Stun is not a real deck.

[@__demo__1009]

As an ocg player I have to agree. Naturia runick actually has plays under maxx c, but many people would tell you why naturia when you can just flip floodgates. At this point it's floodgates choosing runick, not the other way around.

[@zenbozic6184]

i think joshua would disagree with this statement, last time i checked he admitted to farfa runick stun is the best way to play runick

[@__demo__1009]

@@zenbozic6184 That's obviously joking, we clipped it out of context, as we always do.

it might not be a real deck but i’m not a real duelist so

[@Azkadaz]

"Even the threat of power has power." Joshua Schmidt's usage of Spright Smashers here was masterful.

[@joshy5lo]

Honestly I love these deep dives into competitive matches. It gives a lot of insight for people who may not even know what to look for in advanced play.

[@bookoh]

You have found a cool niche in YGO that is relatively un talked about. The actual players as opposed to the decks. Great stuff

[@PhyYuGiOh]

That's all people do, tierlist this, metagame that, game replay here, I want to make something that people consider boring and make it interesting.

[@dkdblade6925]

The best part of all of this is that Josh seems to be a good guy by heart as well. Cherry on top.

[@Scytherman]

I like this style of video, dissecting specific aspects of a match to highlight the depth of the decisionmaking in these competitive games.

[@hirukashiro5995]

There is a concept in chess that fully encapsulates what being discussed here. We often taught not to immediately deliver the checks to the king or capture pieces because in chess a threat is much stronger than the execution. I'm probably the 1% of YGO community that also play chess lol, but I think YGO players should definitely learn a bit of chess because there's a lot of similarities between both! Btw awesome video! Very unique content, educative but still short!

[@georgfolwerk2531]

So before I played YGO I played Magic the Gathering, which was quite nice because the system of the stack (in YGO "chain") is rather the same. But also the system of tempo (as in chess) is there. If you have a threat and additional resources you can chill for a bit, as the opponent has to make your threat harmless first. My last deck was Dark World, a nice combo based deck, where you can pretty much deck yourself out everygame because you draw so much. I think my next one will be a stun deck, so I don't need to read so much anymore (because of my floodgates). The turned will be also quicker so that's nice as well.

[@kennethhernandez6707]

Bro I was literally just explaining to my little brother how Yugioh and chess are very similar! Playing both (ass at chess lol) made me realize how similar they are in certain ways! I agree

[@AlertIntruderOfficial]

This is great content. Something that was missing from yugitubing. Analysis of game play and acknowledgment of skill from players in the competitive field. It's like ESPN for Yu-Gi-Oh. 👍👍

[@leximexi1934]

Love your videos, keep up the amazing work!

[@michaelmorales1602]

Bro we're only a few seconds in and you're already spitting heat I respect the transparency and overall realness to your videos.

[@rstada8]

Great video! I would love to see more digestible breakdowns of high level play

[@ddeine_]

Keep these videos coming! Love the analysis

[@MrEternity1]

This is great for the yugioh community and part of the reason why I only play MD. The TCG/OCG seems like it really challenges you mentally to compete at high levels.

[@NytoDork]

Some of my favorite yugioh content, great stuff!

Hey don’t forget that he’s also world champion.

[@timothykrzywonski]

Yo I heard of you from Joshua Schmidt; this content is great dude

[@cameronmapes]

You do a really good job dissecting the player’s moves and strategies. To do this well and articulate it in an understandable way to others takes quite a bit of intelligence.

[@caioizzi6321]

I love your videos keep it up !

[@avins6145]

These videos are insane, I think you should take inspiration from "the story of" series of thescore esports, or the smash brothers documentary about smash.I always felt like this is something that's missing and that could help the competitive community to grow

[@OldTimerOfficial]

Who knew the Charlie Slimcicle of YGO would be such a great play by play analyzer

Could you please make a video about the YCS bologna finals and tell us why Anthony played into Nib?

[@PhyYuGiOh]

In the works RIGHT now! And I’ll tell you already, Anthony’s hand already played around Nibiru, the difference is it didn’t play around Nibiru + Druiswurm

[@jarzz3601]

nice life points

Don’t forget, Joshua Schmidt is also a snacc.

[@lifequality]

Refreshing content for a so ever boring card game in its modern iterations. Nice video

[@antm9771]

Đinh Khả Bùi, pretty sure he is Vietnamese too

[@dahakaguardianofthetimelin4780]

The invention of Runick Spright is the biggest disappointment in mankind that I felt since the invention of my son

[@plantseason290]

It may not be the most optimal veraion, but every duelist that wants to win and will use cards the opponent wont respect, or can properly prepare for. People who play budget usually play more for fun or dont spend for the optimal versions.

[@redoctober67]

Bottom Line up front: Open the absolute nuts going first and have a stupid-big resource advantage 😉

[@haxmode6935]

Did Josh let fountain draw 3? Or the the other guy just never used that effect? If he let the draw 3 go I would agrue that's a hell of a misplay, 3 cards is alot of a chance for something to go horribly wrong.

[@PhyYuGiOh]

No Fountain only drew one for Dinh-Kha after the Runick Tip. Kha did not want to commit more cards into a fruitless play that would lose his Fountain. Kha did this to test whether Joshua wanted to use his Smashers there, if so, he would just have the extra cards necessary to reestablish a Runick Fountain and then find a draw 3. If Joshua used his Spright Smashers on the fountain attempt to draw 1, he would have actually lost the game almost instantly, as Dinh-Kha would just get another Fountain, draw 3, and overwhelm Joshua.

[@danha3107]

wait i thought he was just funny streamer man and people were JOKINGLY talking about world champion 😢 (/j)

[@dawwnzo5613]

Do a video on Pak

[@spicymemes7458]

I respect you for this, but nothing will ever make me see yugioh players like professional athletes and its better this way.

[@ducky36F]

I mean I wouldn’t call them athletes but excelling at anything, especially anything competitive, takes a lot of time and effort and putting that in and getting reward for it deserves respect.

[@stefanoberetta1225]

This match is only decided by 1 thing: Who wins the dice roll
