I just wanna be done with this box ughhhh
quick axle
Another new box.
And CAN Melo:D is Limited 3. What a surprise.
They really hate Psychic monsters, huh?
quick axle
It's like they don't like fun.
half sphinx
Melo:D at 3 is probably in anticipation of Thuderbold
The other 2 are big "why?"s to me tho
sleek garnet
Melo:D at 3 is probably in anticipation of Thuderbold
Unironically the deck is still playable even if 2 melo 1 bold
Which is funny
On another note, i was labbing bewd monarchs before immediately realizing bright dragon is also at 3
So now i want to throw myself off a cliff
half sphinx
I wonder if they just do BEUD in september
robust void
at this point I relish in their fear of psychics cuz it's just comical
@sleek garnet do you think the current rush meta is the healthiest it's been so far? definitely not perfect, but I feel like we're starting to hit an equilibrium with not being otk'd after one bad turn
sleek garnet
Yea i agree, it helps that the top decks choose to go tall instead of wide
robust void
totally
sleek garnet
So you both take less overall damage and princess recital slows down games
robust void
also it just dawned on me. how long till we fuckin get fusions
and music princess on that note
sleek garnet
Probably the next 2 sevens characters will be bringing exactly those
btw where's the wyrm support in the box
robust void
it's so bizarre to me that since DL is handled by a different team that its localizations are way more liberal than the actual game despite the latter probably having an older average audience
yeah I'm a little worried about dragias shitting up the format again. we'll see
draconic resonance is low-key still a completely broken skill
it's just their deck itself got powercrept

The joy of never having to deal with 4kids censoring stuff
Shame blaze fiends is game exclusive tho
Would've liked to see how konami would deal with beelzebub, lucifer, and astaroth being name dropped in the same card
robust void
Beelbubby, Louie, and Astolpho
sleek garnet
Lmao
robust void
I only learned yesterday kiteroid is a game exclusive
that's really funny
do we even run the new wyrm
it not being a level 3 pisses me off
I still cannot fucking believe they don't let you skip event resolution cutscenes. why only these? what fucking sense does that make
I don't care about this shit
sleek garnet
do we even run the new wyrm
I was labbing out 2 mixer 3 draft
It works fine
Just not what the deck needed unfortunately
Gantry or snowscape would've been sick
half sphinx
also it just dawned on me. how long till we fuckin get fusions
probably end of september
For fusions
pretty much all the core updates these past few months added code for fusion
half sphinx
unironically best case scenario for go rush is to debut alongside fusions
so we can get something other than Oblivion as the cover card
quick axle
sleek garnet
Famous rush duel staple, bluetooth burst dragon 
The chemicalize skill will be insane
sleek garnet
Ok, now
Who's the first go rush unlock
Its either manabu or fucking chupataro
Who are we guessing?
sleek garnet
eternal skill to summon 2 guys on the field and put 3 more in gy
Also, they would just save eternal for the worlds structure deck, no?
sleek garnet
You know what would be so funny?
sleek garnet
Instead of them starting at ep 1 and recaping for the people outside of japan, the world drops ||mid dark meister's invasion||
sleek garnet
The beginning character is fucking kuaidul
half sphinx
They should start post-series and just give vague hints to the entire plot
sleek garnet
And the world is just in utter chaos
half sphinx
ngl, I wouldn't put it past them to start with Yuhi
sleek garnet
Same
quick axle
Yuhi and Yudias, and maybe Yuamu as an event.
sleek garnet
Nah yuamu is def unlockable from day 1
My biggest question is if manabu will also be tho
half sphinx
they should have Zwijo become unlockable exactly on New Year's Eve
since that's his birthday
sleek garnet
True
quick axle
Secret character chupataro, unlocks when you obtain a prismatic meeeg chan
Is Chupataro the guy with the gi that has a symbol?
half sphinx
is a day in their system equivalent to 1 earth day?
sleek garnet
how do velgearian birthdays even work?
They probably dont celebrate it
sleek garnet
Is Chupataro the guy with the gi that has a symbol?
No
Its the guy with a pink hoodie
who's also piloting a human shaped robot
Anyway
If they make maguto playable i'm shipping 1000$ to john konami's pocket
dapper grotto
I wonder if they'll just bring 4 new characters for September instead of doing Go Rush this year.
And we head into that Goha Siblings arc.
half sphinx
I think they do Go Rush this year because of how they handled the monster type icons
we don't have all the fusion type icons
but we do have galaxy
sleek garnet

I would be down if we got every unimportant goha sibling at once
I dont think anyone is clamoring for yuran of all people
half sphinx
also very important about the type icons
they're not just "in the files"
you can see them in-game
and use them for the tournament logo thing
Fusion types without High Dragon and Omega Psychic alongside Galaxy
sleek garnet
The only thing that raises an eyebrow is high dragon before celestial warrior
half sphinx
Dragiastar is the one with the most cover card potential after Paladin
so they might want to keep him in the next box
or as a SD
sleek garnet
Since you would think they would prioritize THE☆LUKEMAN over fucking yamiterasu
half sphinx
Like, if they really want a Go Rush cover for the september set
and no way we don't get Paladin in the first fusion set
they could do a more sevens-oriented set after ig
Also
presuming it's a main box in september
you can only fit all the ace upgrades as UR if you don't have anything else there
sleek garnet
and no way we don't get Paladin in the first fusion set
What would be the worlds sd cover then?
Sevensgias?
half sphinx
Master ig
Sevensgias probably in a box
And wonder probably as a 1-off in Go Rush Yuga's level-ups
sleek garnet
Master works ig
half sphinx
they could add
lmfao
that mistype
Sevesngias there if they feel really strongly about reprinting Dragias in the SD
Tho we haven't got his ORR yet, did we?
could go in the selection instead
with 10 ur slots
for a main
If we have all the fusion types represented
we're looking at like
sleek garnet
Sevesngias there if they feel really strongly about reprinting Dragias in the SD
I dont think they would mind tbh
Since he's on a deckbuild box
half sphinx
Paladin, Dragiastar, Yamiterasu, maybe a Guitarna fusion for Romin instead of the Can:D one?, Asurastar, Oblivion or something for Yudias, Rex, Bluetooth, Salamander
that's already 9 URs
sleek garnet
They would probably save like, 3 spaces for generics
So i dont think we're getting yami and guitarna, at least as urs in the main box
half sphinx
Yami I could see working due to the lack of warrior support recently
and to go with orr yamiterasu in the selection
Dragon and Psychic getting stuff here makes me think they'll be absent from the next box
half sphinx
yeah
Tho the DL boxes were always decided half a year or so in advance
from what I know
jovial abyss
timber river
whats the deck
timber river
Glad Auqa's getting support
robust void
the new cards look good too. shame they didn't come earlier though. aqua's perpetually behind the power curve
i also find it weird we don't have the field spell searcher yet
sleek garnet
Yes it is
sleek garnet
Oh yea btw, remember those things you buy a long time ago and you forget that you had until it comes up again?
midnight fable
damn, its SR to. I need to save gems
at least its super mini, I could always go back to it
robust void
..... i did not know the entire box would be like 20 cards
aaaand I spent an extra 500 games by accident when bulk buying. I don't know why it would've been too much to add a confirmation warning when you're attempting to buy a 10 pack of a box you've gotten a playset of every card in
sleek garnet
Looks aight
I wish there was a good 3rd trap for wide decks
Maybe even one i could play more than 1 of
timber river

Can someone please explain to me why Fairy Cheer Girl is played in Star Seraph over the Chaos Over-Hundred monster (Chaos Number 102, to be precise)?
sleek garnet
Fairy cheer girl draws into your limited 3 cards
C102 is just a minor upgrade to regular 102 you need the rank up magic for, which could instead be discarded for star seraph sage

C102 is just a minor upgrade to regular 102 you need the rank up magic for, whic...

Crackdown
young viper
Fairy cheer girl draws into your limited 3 cards
Well, yeah, but that’s all that FCG does, nothing more.
sleek garnet
It doesnt need to do anything else
Crackdown is game winningly powerful
Getting to it more often is worth it
As opposed to C102 which all it does over regular 102 is a bigger atk decrease and some burn damage that never comes up
young viper
One’s used by one of the Seven Barian Emperors, the other’s used by one who’s considered by many to be one of the worst characters in all of Yu-Gi-Oh. Based on that, what do you suppose is the better option here?

underdog love <3 fairy cheer girl being a goofy overly restricted old card nobody cares about played by a minor character that's unrelated to the deck makes me greatly inclined to support it!
robust void
we just got rio support so Tori support is now on the table
isn't rhythmical performer actually good
lol my win ratio for speed is 80%ish while for rush it's under 50%
sleek garnet
isn't rhythmical performer actually good
Aint bad but it could backfire
Realistically you have a 20ish% to draw
But the low row is giving stuff like mirror innovator a free 700 atk
Altho its also very cool against overlord vulcan and cyberse since you always snipe the stuff they put on top of their deck
It's honestly kinda nice
robust void
yeah I feel like for a lot of decks it's worth the risk
I'm genuinely shocked it didn't debut at limit 3
sleek garnet
Btw
I was thinking of cutting dragias + 1 metagias for a second miragias and blue eyes
What do you think?
robust void
I wouldn't do blue-eyes because the battle damage from the double attack is way more important. unless you're consistently coming up against maximums you can't punch over
how do you bot rush cards again
sleek garnet
P[Card Name]
Altho it doesnt bring up the requirements and will constantly try to show a regular ygo card instead if given the opportunity
vivid waveBOT

Level: 7
[ Dragon / Effect ]
ATK 2500 / DEF 1500
robust void
oh yeah I'd probably just get another one of these
what an annoying fucking gimmick to give to an anime character that's gonna get perpetual support
that's right I'm a hater
sleek garnet
Ftr the skill halves damage of dark dragons the turn you use it
So only regular dragias gets its regular damage
Which is why i'm conflicted on it
robust void
oh that is interesting
I haven't read the skill honestly
it would depend on how reliably you can just grab dragias for lethal
if you're hoping to hard draw it fuck that
sleek garnet
Yea you can only hard draw it or recycle it with phoenix
Also kinda want to make space for triad dragon
robust void
maybe you should. you don't really have many contingencies for a defensive board

Hi
robust void
choc wyrms are pretty solidly fun now I must say
sleek garnet
Can i see your current build?
robust void
sure just a sec
pretty typical
the deck works so well pure I like to keep it there
big roller is there to round out the roster though I also wonder if I should just increase my chances of milling normals
that's def where I'm at rn
maybe we could cut one of each maximum level 3
if we could recover the field I'd really double down on the level 3 normal
imagine resolving it every turn
robust void
backrow is huge right now
sleek garnet
I guess
Tbh i feel like you mainly mst their own mst most of the time lol
Most decks just play slime and negate attack, with some also being on recital or combustion crisis
robust void
that's enough to matter I think. I don't want them to get enough monster advantage if I'm getting too many high levels etc
or holding onto maximum pieces
small fern
(unfortunately might be a too archaic joke due to character unlock tickets skipping over certain missions)

Surprising lack of the past top decks
Wouldnt ever expect machines to fall behind aquas of all things
Ngl format's much healthier now
From what i tested
Bewd can theoretically high roll you to oblivion with wilheim, essel, and burst stream
But even that's not really lethal
I take that over mirror innovator consistently highrolling you with 3600 atk barrel dragon + gold rush + tough striker/innovator

I'm surprised wyrms only got one spot

Not really new duelists, but just different ways to customize the duelists themselves

Not that I know of, most of the time, the new skills help out the new cards one way or another. Like Fiend's Exchange with Unchained.

What on earth did I just play against
sleek garnet
Oh yea night vision stall is an actually playable deck
It topped a tournament once iirc?
They werent on such a heavy voltcondor package tho
hearty charm
bird up
small fern
am I right that Shooting Riser is limited due to
- wind synchro
- instant tune
- choice of deck mill
sleek garnet
It got limited because of odd eyes orcust being able to send harp horror in engine
That's it really
small fern
o
is this a comeback
(ignoring that i deliberately had 0 field for 2 turns and comeback victory is defined in duel links as winning after starting the turn with less LP than opponent)
small fern
ping me when old boxes gem sale
robust void
no fucking way
sleek garnet
Yea cydra is gonna be awful
quick axle
Cydra without Cydra support.
robust void
what absolute fucking nonsense is this lol
half of it being flag breaker
so goddamn desperate to milk anime nostalgia
poor cow's udders about to fall off
okay. hold on. does this actually have proto cyber dragon without any cards referencing cyber dragon
oh NVM the spell technically does
this is trying so hard to be a flag breaker engine so they don't have to port more cydra but they also can't conflict with the other SD actually providing flag breaker
they could've at least reprinted the deluxe pack normal flag breaker
sleek garnet
Legit the only good thing here is the TSA reprint
... which everyone that touched rush in the past 6 months already had
Its so weird because both the skill and the lim3 on cydra dont let you use the good light machine support
quick axle
Because Konami decided to put Cydra at Limited 3.
sleek garnet
But also the boss they provided has no synergy with cydra
quick axle
For some god-forsaken reason.
robust void
LMAO DID THEY REALLY MAKE CYDRA LIMIT 3
sleek garnet
Yea
robust void
THEY CANT POSSIBLY PLAY THIS GAME
sleek garnet
Cant let mirror innovator use them vro 
quick axle
That's just stupid.
robust void
maybe sometimes you just shouldn't make an SD if you don't have enough content for one
sleek garnet
Tbf machines are like, the best deck in the game rn
But man couldnt we have gotten literally anything else
Import idk, dark magician support or smth
robust void
literally anything else
alt arts
anything
hey I have an idea
how about the wyrm traps they pretend don't exist
that help the decks bricking problems
dapper grotto
Like are they gonna make a rush box with the rest of the support at the end of September? That's my only theory of why they made such an awful Rush SD.
quick axle
And only CyDra, being Limited 3 for no good reason.
half sphinx
But also the boss they provided has no synergy with cydra
I'm fully convinced
this is meant to be a silly teaser thing they did for the memes
cuz this guy was only in the go rush starter
sleek garnet
SECRET JOINTECH SUPPORT LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
half sphinx
like
they totally could have done
cyber assault
or whatever
but this is so much funnier
Like, it's not simply dogshit like the Raidacross one
this one is relatively funny
sleek garnet
Tbf
It was the pack that added some of the go rush aces into the game
Oblivion, jointech rex, etc
half sphinx
I must have been confusing him with all the ranom high level emach guys in the Yuhi starter
sleek garnet
What's the first dm/gx era fusion import we're getting?
half sphinx
DM specifically...
hm
the Gaia stuff maybe?
like, I could totally see them put the non-effect fusion in card trader day 1
for gx it's probably the cydra stuff
I think cyber end has a larger probability to be day 1 than twin
sleek garnet
I hope we get non neos heroes early
Deck irl rn is just neos ryozai gate order soup rn
sleek garnet
Could see that
half sphinx
I wonder how they're handling fusion tho
cuz it's obviously coming relatively soon, otherwise they wouldn't do the cydra sd this dirty
but go rush is also coming
unless they add Yuo like Mimi last year?
sleek garnet
Do you think there is a chance we get yuo and go rush at the exact same time?
half sphinx
yes if he's not an event
like, either just a stage unlock for Sevens or even funnier...
a bingo reward like Mokuba...
quick axle
Go Rush seems likely to have Yudias, Yuhi and Yuamu on release.
sleek garnet
We get a teaser for yuo
But then we get THE☆LUKEMAN as a tranformation skill in the last second instead
And that's how we get fusions
half sphinx
real
we have a ton of new IDs for Sevens
so maybe they do a Duelist Road type event?
sleek garnet
Yea i was thinking the exact same
half sphinx
recapping s1 and the beginning of s2
sleek garnet
Just do a gauntlet of all the minor school clubs
quick axle
I still don't understand why we're getting Go Rush without the story being finished, even.
half sphinx
afaik in the IDs there is
quick axle
So that makes me wonder where in the plot will Go Rush World be.
half sphinx
So that makes me wonder where in the plot will Go Rush World be.
Probably at the start like Sevens
half sphinx
given the timing of Rush characters, they could probably fit in with the dub
sleek garnet
Sevens is just recaping the story rn
half sphinx
to have the character appear in the show then get introduced to DL afterwards
sleek garnet
We could
Oh yea we'll have to push out equip spells again
Yaaaaaaaay
Game changing mechanic, truly
quick axle
Question: How does a Maximum do an OTK?
Like, you can go from going in the back, to do a comeback.
half sphinx
2025 with all the goha siblings cross-promotion waves...
sleek garnet
Question: How does a Maximum do an OTK?
By gaining a lot of atk
sleek garnet
Maximums generally cant do lethal by themselves in one turn unless they're magnum overlord exactly
Maximum decks generally have secondary bosses to deal damage while you're drawing the pieces
half sphinx
The way I see it, we're probably getting to Nyandestar/Luge at most until next September?
half sphinx
It's also weird cuz like
Go Rush probably has to become the focus of rush releases relatively soon
because you have goha siblings for sevens
then Nanaho and Otes?
and that's kinda it
sleek garnet
We still have tiger
half sphinx
Tiger could probably also come yeah
Given how they've done since Zexal
we've had worlds alternate between 3 and 4 characters
so Go Rush would be just 3
sleek garnet
It's manabover
half sphinx
Would be like
sleek garnet
I'll need to wait 2 weeks for him
half sphinx
Manabu by the end of the year
Zwijo in February
Manya probably not being playable
and Bochi too
Rovian sometimes in spring
half sphinx
then like, Nyanderstar and Luge to add fusions to Go Rush
half sphinx
there's a very funny timeline where we get Zaion before Luge
half sphinx
Very small chances rn
given the deck is bascially proto-hybridrive
unless they decide to print the Tamabot stuff
at which point I think yeah, could work
just to have an event to explain the earthdamar stuff
sleek garnet
Wait i just realized
half sphinx
Even funnier is if we get Damamu early as an event NPC to explain Zwijo fusing with Requiem and all that
sleek garnet
We're probably not getting kuaidul until 2026, that sucks
half sphinx
If Konami were real
he'd just switch with Yudias at like stage 10
and jumpscare the player
half sphinx
he just goes "the creator said it's my turn to duel"
sleek garnet
Would also be very funny if the change was permanent
And yudias shows up as an event duelist later on
sleek garnet
He was listening to the type rap
half sphinx
I really hope we get
the Egil Velgear thing as a skill
and Requiem as a playable character via a skill...
sleek garnet
It'll probably happen
sleek garnet
Lmao
I want him to be cgi too
Would be so funny the win screen is just a zoomed in 3d model
half sphinx
You think they keep Eternal for the 2026 KCGT freebie?
sleek garnet
I think the freebie is gonna be transamuroad
Depending on how fast we do the storyline
half sphinx
By mid 2026 it could feasibly be Darkness Obliv maybe
sleek garnet
Oh 2026
half sphinx
yeah, next year should be Yuga stuff
sleek garnet
Ngl
I forgot darkfluid was this year
btw why is optimal darkfluid link just riot dragon turbo now wtf
sleek garnet
True...
half sphinx
No way they do 2 low level guys as cover back to back...
unless we get Overwrite day 1
sleek garnet
We could do uhhhh
half sphinx
Rainac unironically feels like he has more chance to be in the box than Oblivion
given he actually has the statline thing to differentiate himself
sleek garnet
Fuck it put jointechs as the sd
half sphinx
Jointech sd with killer stinger...
sleek garnet
Jointech maximum day 1
sleek garnet
They would do smth like that yea
half sphinx
that could work yeah
but I feel like
they want at least 1 "good" Go Rush card in the URs
and that leaves
uhhh
sleek garnet
Those dont exist dawg
half sphinx
nobody...
half sphinx
rush mains have 10 URs, right?
sleek garnet
Sevens unironically has to carry the go rush box
Its so funny
Actually wait
Hear me out
Drilling tractiger will carry the box
half sphinx
real
and even better
that means
they'll print the anime stuff soon
wait
I think we deffo get Manabu
day 1
for the cross-promotion with kp19
sleek garnet
As much as i did this as a shitpost
half sphinx
no star restart?
half sphinx
Go Rush is 99% happening too because it's more data than just the id
we have some background stuff for the npcs added in
sleek garnet
How does it feel to have so much key stuff missing yet the game being nearing eos
Its kinda crazy
half sphinx
I think DL won't eos until there is another game that leans into the anime gimmick
sleek garnet
Cross duel 2 baby
Retro games collection
We'll ride DM until the sun explodes, gx who?
half sphinx
I saw genuine cope that they'll do
yugioh classic...
that's just removing speed
so they could rerelease the old sets...
as their own format....
sleek garnet
Legit who tf would buy?
People who only care about dm only exist online
Put them in a ots and they dont buy anything
half sphinx
I think it's super unlikely they killed speed (who could have just moved slightly forwards and entered Edison reprint territory) to replace it with time wizard stuff
sleek garnet
they explicitly stated speed is just on hiatus
Market watch people legit just warp stuff around to fit an agenda sometimes
Half of the regulars here have direct ties with konami
I'll take it
I see
Btw you think there's a chance they'll announce rush at worlds this year?
I see
Interesting
Thanks for the info
Gotcha
Yea
Very interesting
hearty charm
Wait, Cyber Dragon stuff?
hearty charm
...Why lol
I mean, yeah it makes sense
Fusion Monsters aren't properly introduced just yet, but come on now
You could at least give us Cyber Assault Dragon!
hearty charm
Why
sleek garnet
K O N A M I
hearty charm
EARTH Machine, come on now
dry widget
You could at least give us Cyber Assault Dragon!
assault dragon is definitely the least likely to be released, its the best cydra maindeck and its not close either
but its weird we're not getting search dragon or anything
hearty charm
Still would be more fitting than, Grand Cerberus
sleek garnet
Oh yea right
As soon as go rush releases there will be 88 billion posts asking what does "maniac you die" means
dapper grotto
They're keeping the good Cydras in a Rush box, 100%.
sleek garnet
Bro i love when the box comes much after the character unlock
So stuff like this happens
quick axle
Did the box release already?
sleek garnet
No
dapper grotto
KekW, using the Simorgh level 1 from years back. Ain't no way I'm spending gems or tickets for that.
quick axle
It was a bad box anyways.
I think that was the box that had Infernity Archfiend or Misc?
sleek garnet
It was the infernity box, yea
quick axle
Infernity being pure copium.
Launcher only got restricted when the broken loop with Mermaid was live, IIRC?
mighty bramble
I haven’t played HEROs in general in ages, I just don’t know what I’m missing from what’s good
I kinda wanna build a deck based on this but no Maskeds unfortunately
mighty bramble
What would be a higher priority to get, Nebula Dragon or Seyfert
dapper grotto
But ye, I do love the little tidbits of people trying to figure out what Duel Links' true nature really is.
small fern
examples of anime dm wherever it's possible:
Yami Yugi for some reason calling out more waking the dragons cards than battle city cards
Tristan Taylor having monke connection
...I've actually come dry on evidence for that point
burnt cradle
Duel links true nature is kaiba farming money from people
dapper grotto
In VRAINS, Sol Tech found Duel Links merging with Link VRAINS here in this little pocket world but cannot really control it, so they had to let it be for now.
burnt cradle
Thing that made me think that DM world is DM anime is coz tristian and Duke never dueled in the manga iirc?
dapper grotto
In there, the VRAINS characters theorize Duel Links is connecting consciousness from other worlds to find other duelists, but don't know what it would do once it connects to enough people.
burnt cradle
Maybe this is all apart of dsod kaiba trying to find ways to get to the pharoah
Like sera had the avatar from transcendent game
dapper grotto
Really weird that characters don't acknowledge KC Cup or anything, but I guess it'd be like the character unlock events in that it only takes place in their own world.
dapper grotto
Maybe this is all apart of dsod kaiba trying to find ways to get to the pharoah
It would be cool, connecting consciousness and recreating them to revive the dead. At this stage, it only clones the consciousness, not actually revive them from the dead.
burnt cradle
Like kaiba breaking through dimensions was just either a way to get to the afterlife or was an unintended consequence
But like...how do you install duel links in like arc v world
Like is it an app or smth
dapper grotto
It's never stated sadly.
We just know that they can get in and out like a VR thing...?
Well, the real people at least.
To be honest, we don't know if they are actual people, or everyone here is just a recreated digital copy, and they just don't know it yet. xd
That would certainly be harrowing for Varis lmao.
burnt cradle
What if yugi was betrayed and trapped in duel links for 10 billion years
dapper grotto
lmao, doubtful. But it seems they are all content in duel links atm.
burnt cradle
Who paid kaiba off to give soulburner 98% full power salad at vrains launch
dapper grotto
ikr? That was wild how much good stuff he got at launch...
burnt cradle
Legit vrains launch I played then saw salad had most of their stuff besides like the counter trap and led stuff I basically noped
I'm not playing against salad for however many months
sleek garnet
Oh i missed DL lore chat
In any case, its like, 99% confirmed DL actually managed to declone the arc v counterparts
Due to the fact that they can log off DL itself
quick axle
Like... the way how Yuya and his counterparts, as well as Zuzu and her counterparts, were decloned by some mumbo junbo
robust void
I've never watched arc-v but I feel like I would get extremely annoyed with this business of the characters mistaken others for their clones when they look and act absolutely nothing alike in any way shape or form
I know they're like the same soul or whatever the fuck but that's no excuse for not using your eyes or ears
agile bone
When you have no idea that the counterparts actually exist, you assumption is that the person you know has altered their appearance for whatever reason.
Particularly when they debut with seemingly supernatural powers.
(or in Yugo's case, if you're an absolute goober)

Worlds.
dapper grotto
Damn, I need to pay attention more. I thought it was only the UIs, Go Rush, and Chronicle cards that they mentioned. 
sleek garnet
Wait, Border and Name Colors?! I didn't hear about that at all, where was this?
It was on the jp text screenshot
dapper grotto
...Ah.
sleek garnet
This feels weird
I'm not sure if i like it
It feels a lot more like a generic gacha main menu (read as: all of the features are in the same screen and it feels cluttered)
sleek garnet
ty
dry widget
This feels weird
ill have to see it in practice before passing judgment
at a glance the standard and legendary duelists off to the side look questionable though. if they're there, then is there going to be anything meaningful left to interact with in duel world itself?
unless maybe the button is a shortcut to quickly duel one at random, but you can also move between worlds and pick the duelist you want manually?
it might be a good thing, cause on one hand it looks easier to navigate
but on the other hand it also looks much less integrated into the world
again can't really judge before i play with it proper
sleek garnet
Bradaz pointed it out that it could be a indication that you can no longer scroll to the sides
Which would kinda suck
sleek garnet
Also i hope the giant yami yugi was edited in it looks so ugly there
Best case scenario is that the new layout is just an optional thing to be more efficient
@full spade mind pinning this pls?
full spade
sleek garnet
Thx
btw, alongside the free cydra sd
you can buy 2 copies with gems
so its fully f2p
OH YEA WE ALSO HAVE A 9TH EXTRA DECK SLOT BTW
dapper grotto
Hell yeah for Wynn, even got 2 Book of Eclipses in my Box Chip bundle pulls.
dapper grotto
so its fully f2p
A shame there's little reason ATM to get three Cydra SDs. Until we know more of what Cydra stuff we get for Go Rush launch at least.
robust void
every time they give us free rush duel packs it's for a box I've already finished
also lol at the maximum excavator skill change
why is mirror innovator untouched

I assume they dont want to nerf anything until after the kc cup tho
