Are people actually that good?

[Helgrind369]

So another story time from locals. More and more master duel players are showing up at locals (which is a good thing) but they keep acting like entitled brats. Two new ones showed up talking about how good they are, but the only way they won a round was by slow play claiming they were thinking even though it was turn 1 with a basic tri-brigade deck. Please players if you keep winning like crazy and taking all of your turn for basic combos think before you claim you demolish people. They might just surrender because you're a slow player not that you're amazing.

I have a friend like that, claims he's amazing at the game and has great deck building skills, but still thinks his version of Blue-Eyes (specifically his version) would be meta. Still has to read through every card and doesn't know what other decks or cards do, which makes him annoyingly slow.

[Helgrind369]

I personally have no problem with people stopping to read cards if they don't understand and I encourage it even though I play magical musket so every card I play they ask to read. My issue is the ones who say they know everything then have to read the most basic staples in their own deck over and over

[Papa Smurf]

Yeah, online gaming communities mixing with the real world always tends to be a toxic combination. No surprise really, Master Duel players have even less social skills than regular Yugioh players, and that's saying something.

That people are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ can not be celebrated but I am glad that the game is being an effective advertising tool since I do not have the budget or the community to play in physical format.

Question : what does the pace has to do with the skill of the said player?

There are over 10.000 cards in the game, do you think people know what every single card their opponent plays does?

You have a point but you should also know your own cards lol.

I never said the pace has anything to do with his skill level, nor did I say anything about needing to know every single card in the game (which, your point there is pretty moot, seeing as how I'd say the majority of them aren't played, and many are outside of archetypes). I'm saying that he doesn't know the cards he actively plays with and tries to make it out that they could be meta, without knowing what the meta is and/or what the majority of (current) staples are or do.

That's where I'm saying he has a skill issue at, not him playing slow or needing to read cards. I also don't just mean in a duel, either, by "not knowing what other decks or cards do", I also mean in deckbuilding, since he doesn't look at his cards and just throws them in (his words). Building a new archetype? Search the name and put them all in, don't read them.

If you don't know your own cards (which you play with quite a bit) or popular cards/decks (meta decks, staples, popular tech, possibly interactions), then yes I will say you're on the lower skill side (and before you say "but newer players", that's not who I'm talking about).

there might be over 10,000 cards but how many of those are old outdated banned and or just overall bad think all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ waste normal monsters basically every flip monster that isnt part of an archtype designed to make them at the least playable please use your head before making a statement like this it makes you look foolish

off beat cards or new releases are understandable but nobody should have to read common use staple cards unless theres a longer chain resolving and maybe they need to double check wording for some cards because its kind of important

If an entire deck and its combos can be messed up by someone giving them a Lava Golem, then they might not be as good as they think.

True, but when you see a new artwork popping to your screen, you "HAVE" to click on the card and read wtf it does, because you never know if that crap will be activated from the graveyard by being banished or something.

Personaly i watched the anime to the point of Synchros.
That means i know all the cards until the point of Synchros + important and active played cards from the new generations.

But, if my opponent playes Pendulums or some new Archetype (which everyone mostly does), i have to read every single card they drop to know if i should negate it, or if i should let it pass and negate something else.

No one is disagreeing that you shouldn't read people's cards, you just made a terrible point and expected it to stick?

> claiming they were thinking even though it was turn 1 with a basic tri-brigade deck

It's probably strange, I play Drytron with ease, but when I had to take Tri-brigade for the Link event, I had no idea what to do, still doing missplays with it..

common use and staple cards dont need to be read because people who play alot know what they do "BUT WHAT IF NEW CARD" please tell me where I said reading relatively new cards was not reasonable what I was saying since you clearly need me to make it more obvious.. A card like Ash Blossom everyone should know what this card does if they are new fair enough but the card is absolutely everywhere Imperm a staple extra deck monster like I:P or Apollousa these cards often see alot of play so most people have read them multiple times in the past now if you need to read a card you have either never seen before or only seen a few times there is nothing wrong with that..

Its really ironic that your making a point that people should read yet your clearly not doing so

Honestly what gets me is hes making a point that people might need to read new or rarer cards and framing that as an argument against me when I actually said thats reasonable so arguing people should read while not reading

I don't play the game outside of online, but I do know abit about the TCG meta and if they won with Tri-Brigade. Well maybe u guys r the ones who need to step your game up a bit. I've beaten Pure Tri-Brigade & Thunder Dragons with Blackwings and Synchrons. Of course idk the circumstances, was this a friendly locals, or a make-shift tourney. Imo Tri-Zoo's is the best overall form of Tri-Brigade right now. Tri's in general have a real quantity issue. The quality is nice though.

I'll say this, u should encourage them to take their bad-a$$ Tri decks to a regionals. And then watch the carnage. :) Master Duel's meta isn't the same as the TCG meta. Just sayin.

it really depends on person , 1 person can be arrogant and bragging , one can be shy and not saying anything ,

not all MD players are lack of social skils comparing to regular players , a MD player can just have a normal life , very skilled on social , ect ,, you just never know a person at full
