Someone needs to make an online Yugioh thingy and base out of a country no one cares about, that way Konami can indeed fuck itself.

How was YGOPro taken down? Isn't it a peer-peer client?

You can no longer download it from the site.

Essentially if you don't have it, you're not going to.

That's what I figured.

You have the original download, right? Could you set up a torrent for us?

Making a torrent is easy, although I forget at this very moment. I can't download it right now anyway however (since my computer is overburden).

Lemme kill off some anime while I do that. In the mean time, you should play Muv-Luv. =3=

Yeah better get to work on that. I know I will. There's a lot to do without YGO eating up our schedules.

So there is some good news.

-I've heard nothing about Devpro being given a C&D, which means its probably still around.
-If you already have YGOPro, its still being updated with new cards because of its auto-uploader.

So online YGO is still a thing. For now.

So in other news:



Vayu Turbo. I've been trying it out since the standard build of Blackwings is really boring and the archetype doesn't mesh well at all with others, and it works really well. I've debated sticking in an Ultimaya in there somewhere to make use of dank double Lv.7 Blackwings but the play has never actually presented itself.

Fuck.

Talking with Emi and feeling slightly nostalgic, is Yu-Gi-Oh worth getting into again or nah

Does anyone even still play (aside from Emi, of course)

I feel a TCG itch that needs scratching coming on, and fuck Hearthstone

I play YGO! And I'm coming back to UPN tomorrow so YOU SHOULD START PRACTICING

Also for anyone that needs it, YGOPro's download is still accessible on their Discord, so that's a thing.

Lightsworn ABCs is legitimately disgusting.

First turn Clear Wing - Infinity - ABC Buster Dragon should not be a thing. Neither should Black Wing into ABC.

But I love it over the other slow-ass builds.

So after some time has passed and I've been able to play the decks that got hit, its time for Emi's opinion time!

guys you can still download ygopro i don't want to let this thread die

Performapal Monkeyboard: It's good to see the ridiculously broken Performapal engine finally dead. Monkeyboard was a real problem card considering it could make generic 1-6 scales, but I'm not sure if going from 1 to 0 was actually needed. Now every deck has good generic scales in Metalfoes, which are a pretty ridiculous deck.

Cir / Beatrice: Despite these hits, I still think Burning Abyss is going to be a big deck. At least it will pop up at tournaments and locals to spook you and stun you to death. Beatrice was a strong hit though, although I'm sad for some decks like Crystrons who really liked it.

Ehther / Pantheism / Stormforth: Stormforth was the really not nice hit, but actually Monarchs still function more or less the same as it did before. It's just a good bit less consistent, but it still is pretty strong in my opinion. I would be ok with a 1 Erebus 3 Ehther list honestly at this point. Erebus is just so ridiculously strong.

Dank Destroyah / E-Tele: Honestly I'm not sure how this counts as a hit. Kozmo loses a tiny bit of power and consistency. That's it. When you have 3 Tincan, 3 Farmgirl, and everything else the deck can use its pretty crazy to think this would cover it.

...I just realized I said "honestly these hits were not a big deal" three times what the hell.

unrelated, I also wish Magical Contract Door was good in Dark World but no one in their right mind will ever make it useful.

Need to organize another tournament. I've been getting an itch to play MTG, too, if a platform ever comes up that allows us to play online again.

I'm glad Maxx "C" and Kaiser got hit, and pleased with Allure coming off, though Allure is no ROTA.

I'm disappointed Rai-Oh came off, sort of. Since the game is very Special Summon and Search heavy now, counters need to exist to be able to effectively stop, but not cripple the opponent for summoning/searching. Neither Maxx nor Rai-Oh do this, either locking out or heavily punishing the opponent for relying on the meta tactics.

Rather than invent more balanced counters and simply ban Maxx "C" and Rai-Oh, Konami opted to creep cards around them, like making summons destroyed by Rai-Oh float. That isn't my idea of "balanced".

Respectfully, it was your own personal bias which prevented you from doing the obvious thing from the beginning (disqualifying Kindrindra) and driving that tournament into the ground. You have no one to blame for that tournament's demise but yourself.

Yes and Kratos vs Concept had NOTHING to do with it either.

I know you're trying to be respectful but come on dood. ;;

The thread speaks for itself. Over the course of several months, you granted multiple extensions to your friend in his match with you. By the time you finally disqualified him, it was far too late.

Simply, you mismanaged the tournament: :\ DQs suck, but they are necessary to keep the momentum of a tournament going. Extensions naturally stall a tournament out, and stalling is the single greatest killer of tournament participation.

Not trying to be mean or overly severe about it. Just that I don't like you blaming your tournament's collapse on others when it was principally your very own fault.

Okay, so looking back at the thread ...

I'm right: FIVE MONTHS. Jesus.

I'm wrong: you're right, it wasn't just your match with Kin that badly stalled out the gate. The others were dead on arrival too.

Conclusion: you still needed to have DQ'd and/or coin tossed all the relevant games to keep the tournament alive for those who still cared. Waiting from April until September was bad. By that point the tournament should have just been buried and a new one, if interest warranted it, started in its place.

Yeah that was more my point over just Kin. I don't want people signing up who aren't going to bother.

I'll be better with DQ times though. You are right in that five months was way too long. Should I start up an interest thread to see who wants to join?
