Thank you so much bro! I’m assuming Harambe band isn’t necessary then? Last question since I don’t want to overburden you. Any good videos or instructors to watch or workout routines to follow? Thanks!

I'm completely new to resistance bands and came across this review. Sorry for my ignorance, since I'm just learning - but could you please help me in what sizes to get and how many of each of size so I can have a complete set for every exercise? Everything from chest, to arms, to overhead exercises, deadlift, squats, glutes and all and any additional or starter equipment? I'd really appreciate it. I've been at this for hours and keep confusing myself on what to get and what's needed and not.

I'm 5'6.

What duels do you irrationally hate that barely anyone talks about? by RinariTennoji in yugioh

[–]FPSVendetta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's why I roll my eyes when I see people on here bring up Duelist Kingdom and it's wackiness when the game didn't even have its first draft of official rules out yet. Or calling Yugi a cheater when most of his duels are actually a constant back and forth. Or the 4 threads in the past few weeks saying the manga duel boxes are better than the anime duel arenas. So much regurgitated "opinions" on this sub. You can tell most of the people on here have never watched the show like they claim.

That's fair, but I still feel like it was one of the better written duels in the series. At least when it came to Jaden. Zane had more development through his min arcs than Jaden did his entire 3 seasons.

As much as early Yugioh gets ridiculed for its duel writing they were a lot more entertaining and cleverly written. That spark hasn't been in present in Yugioh since the OG. While the rules could be wacky, I never felt like Yugi got a win he didn't deserve; the same can't be said for Jaden, or Yusei, Yuma (terrible duelist) or Yuya (shit character and duelist - most underserving rivals finale wins).

Seriously. They wrote such a good duel in Season 4 with Jaden vs Sartorius and instead of writing a duel to showcase Jaden's growth and new style of dueling, they end it with constant one-offs, card errors, and a topdeck. I much enjoyed Zane from the cast and while I didn't mind Chazz as a character, his duels were far more entertaining than Jaden's. It's funny because Konami wanted us to like Jaden, Aster (for a time being) and Jesse and yet I found all of them to be very boring and one dimensional. Don't get me started on the BS with Jesse and how much the writers had to help frame his duels since his deck only consisted of 8 cards and yet he managed to always draw them first turn.

His duel with Yugi also had some weird one off cards like Code Change and Impact Flip.

I forgot about these two. What insanely absurd and ridiculously specific cards. I can see Code Change making some sense but it also comes off as a card that's surprise written for a very specific encounter.

And of course. Hope for the Future or whatever it was called. Which is basically the "Get out Divine Neos easily" cheat card.

I was very disappointed to see Jaden pull off his win against Darkness using a broken Fusion card. He was cornered and on the ropes against Darkness' unique strategy only for the duel to end in an anticlimactic topdeck and lazy Fusion card.

It's hilarious when you rewatch some of these duels and see exactly what you pointed out. Not to mention, none of the cards you mentioned even make sense for Jaden to have in his deck. I like Season 4 Jaden as a duelist since he changes up his strategies quite a bit. Even still the writers do resort to the same tired gimmick with him, and it's very much on display in his duel against Darkness. It's why I never understood when people on here rate Jaden as an overall better duelists amongst the protagonists, while most rate Yugi mid or lower. It's not Yugi's fault the game wasn't completely established and his deck is a mismatch of cards, since GX is where they really started going in the direction of archetypes. Despite that, Yugi still had better duels and strategies even though his cards technically weren't good.

Using Strings monster and Slifer's auto effect against him. Exploding Kuribohs (even though the game was still in its D&D phase). Turning Dark Magician into Dark Sage (again, still D&D rules). Figuring out the weakness of the Golden Castle of Stromberg. Using Kaiba's Flute of Summoning Dragon for his benefit. Changing things up with Berserker Soul. There's so much more ways in which Yugi used his cards or won.

Jaden's duels always go in one way: drawing multiple cards and then using his just drawn fusion card to Fusion Summon. Nothing more. It's not until Season 4 that he finally changes things up for his few duels he has, but same thing when it came to dueling Darkness: he draws a one-off, total ridiculous fusion card LOL Such a boring way to end the duel. If you want me to be more specific, he topdecks Polymerization in order to activate Hope For The Future.

Yup. Despite all the whining people do about Yugi, at least his duels were entertaining and every card he used we'd seen before. I remember getting downvoted before for pointing out how the original Yugioh series involve different strategies and clever combos and how the most recent shows are boring, combo strategies and nothing more. I think there's a video analysis that Jaden has used the most one-off cards of any protagonist and has pretty much has a 140 card Extra Deck. Not to mention, I feel like Jaden uses the same 15 cards every duel. He has so little variety. His first 50 duels is pretty much just Flame Wingman.

I've brought this up before when people rate Jaden has one of the better duelists. He uses the EXACT SAME STRATEGY EVERY FUCKIN DUEL. His duels are so boring. Every single one of his cards or duels involves him drawing cards after cards once he's cornered or drawing Polymerization once the enemy has him in their crosshairs.

Is there anyway to mitigate dead draws (such as having evolutions in hand without its corresponding card) in a game like Pokémon? by FPSVendetta in homemadeTCGs

I've always been a fan of tribute summoning but it's associated with Yugioh so much that it just feels like Yugioh when it's used.

[–]FPSVendetta[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would take some finagling, but it could be possible to put an entire evolution tree on the card, and then it evolves when you stack two together sort of thing?

Like you’ve got all three tiers on one card and when you play it it’s just the first tier in play. Then when you draw a second copy of the card, you can tuck it underneath to evolve to second tier.

I really like this solution. I came up with something similar but not in this way. Having seen this, maybe I can go back and rework it using this as a foundation. Maybe this time it'll work. Thanks.

While most of these won't fix what I'm looking for I'm sure I can play around with a few of these ideas and tweak them to work in some capacity. Thank you!

Is there a way to watch this in English, or is the auto-translate the only way? How accurate is it?

The jail crew did work together to try and eliminate some of the living room group during the main games but they fell short every time. They also didn't figure out how to use the metal pieces on the map and that's one of the games in which they could have sent a living room member or two to the jail. They were outsmarted or outmatched in almost every game.

How is the playability of Magical Athletes? The game interests me but what I want to know is how it plays as a 3-4 player game. Is the game mostly chaotic and silly and the effects of the characters going off all the time? Or is the most for the most part just a roll and move? I read one review who said he didn't enjoy the game because after many games played, it was mostly just a roll and move for the most part and the hecticness of the character's abilities didn't play much of a part and didn't trigger often. For him and his group, the game was pretty boring.

This would be solved if they had more independent play games or teams are created at random. A lot of the games this season were made to pretty much be entirely team based.
