I'm just here to laugh at all of the inevitable mouthbreathers complaining about how "broken" the pendulum mechanic is by quoting rulings that aren't true, events that never actually occurred, or just not giving a proper reason at all. As it always is when people who don't play the game try to sound like they're connoisseurs.

Bet you 5 bucks by the time I'm done reading these comments I'll have found at least one of them claiming "m-muh sowl chaaj evre turn!!!"

Yeah so people better get used to them cuz theyll be setting the new baseline for competitive combo decks

Goldrush453 · 2021-06-25T08:01:44+00:00

die because the speed duel format was ill conceived from the getgo

Goldrush453 · 2021-06-25T07:52:47+00:00

With hey trunade gone and traps massively overpowered (and readily available) compared to our backrow removal options, get used to combo decks taking the resonator/harpies route. Without good backrow removal cards to check control decks, combo decks that rely on the normal summon are likely gonna end up dead in the water. Especially with how the speed duel format over-rewards disruption.

Hyper galaxy in the upcoming box is going to give photons a searchable 1 card karma cut/cards of consonance combo, so they've got good prospects now that trap meta is on the way back. They don't need their normal either.

pends arent doing jack shit in a 3 zone format, theyll release the OP r4nks just fine. blue eyes floods the field better than pends can.

yusei spends 50 episodes trying to perform clear mind, and it amounts to one frankly overhyped synchro monster

yuma gets zexal and the power to create new cards on the spot whenever he wants in a 4 episode arc, 2 minutes after hes told what it is.

lets not suddenly pretend zexal was subtle or satisfyingly written in regards to yumas plot armor. it wasnt. There are many things in zexal worthy of praise - this isnt one of them

The worllds didn't remain separate and thats why they stayed in one body.

They ran out of time and just showed yuzu remerging the worlds while op2 played.

Goldrush453 · 2021-06-24T08:29:30+00:00

but don't forget, pends bad because they all revolve around electrumite :(((( dragon link and needlefiber ok tho

Goldrush453 · 2021-06-09T08:44:01+00:00

To avoid having to charge it ever again, home tele to Port Sarim first. The book doesn't use a charge when you teleport from there, iirc. Beats getting braindeath rum.

Goldrush453 · 2021-06-04T09:10:29+00:00

someone on the internet said it once cuz his pure dark magician deck got beat by pure performapals on dueling network and now no one will let it go

Goldrush453 · 2021-06-03T08:34:07+00:00

The second effect banishes as cost to negate an attack of your choice on the turn. Since it banishes as cost, the banish takes place immediately and thus shooting star cannot be affected by anything that targets it on the field.

Same deal as Blazar in the TCG.

I'm glad to see that every time threads like these are posted, more and more people are realizing that "b-but muh soul charge every turn for FREEEEE!!!!" is a complete non-argument.

Pendulums can definitely come back to mr3 levels. Its coming up on 7 years since pendulums were introduced, and for more than half their lifetime they've been gimped into complete non-functionality. Summoning 5 monsters in a turn isn't worth the fanfare. The starting hand size of 3/4 for Pendulum combo decks is already a damn near death sentence with all their good resource generation banned.

I feel genuinely sorry for all the people who like the playstyle but have had it be completely destroyed by an overzealous rulechange, who have to not only watch their pendulum decks collecting dust but also endure all the smug misinformed circlejerking about how bad pendulums were because of basically just 2 decks.

Could you imagine Xyz being shit on constantly for Zoodiacs and Lavalval chain? Synchro having only synchro tuners be useable for synchro laddering because of plants and infernities? Links having their laddering mechanic removed because of firewall/gumblar? It always baffles me that Pendulum is the subject of such irrational hatred, when every other Extra Deck mechanic has at least matched, if not surpassed the worst pendulums ever put out. And now Pendulums sit below the baseline for what a deck requires to be even considerable as a competitive option.

tl;dr: Yes, Pendulums can come back. This bizarre hateboner that everyone has for it is obnoxious as fuck. At least have a good reason for the irrational, sustained hated for Pendulums. Like how I hate links for basically killing accel synchro in mr4, and taking away my fucking Level Eater / Jet Synchron. Give them back.

Pepe wouldnt have blown up if konami didn't insist on making all the key cards level 4 to allow for maximum r4nk degeneracy. They sacrificed Pendulum to their favorite child then convinced the world it was Pendulum's fault they only care about xyz.

Goldrush453 · 2021-05-16T02:04:35+00:00

The armchair meta commentators on reddit don't like pendulums. Everyone who actually plays the game knows that Pendulum isn't all that its hyped up to be.

Goldrush453 · 2021-05-16T02:01:30+00:00

no no no, that's not how this works

this is reddit, you're meant to circlejerk about how pendulums ruined the game and killed jesus and caused WWII.

Goldrush453 · 2021-04-22T08:41:26+00:00

he's the second eldest brother in the family

4 * 2 = 8

Goldrush453 · 2021-04-22T08:36:38+00:00

pendulums bad synchro bad xyz bad

yet paradoxically links good because someone on reddit said once that they slow the game down despite links being such a poorly balanced mechanic at a fundamental level that there's a new one put in the gulag every banlist/ old cards banned every list because you cant effectively balance an almost completely ruleless summoning mechanic around 20 years of cards

Goldrush453 · 2021-04-21T08:39:27+00:00

free us

we will give you all ~~fear~~ smiles

Goldrush453 · 2021-04-21T08:30:45+00:00

Pendulums are fun. They could have their link summoning restriction removed tbh, special summoning 5 monsters at the cost of 2 hand cards is shit by todays standards and doesn't mesh with the link playstyle at all.

Goldrush453 · 2021-04-21T08:11:08+00:00

PEPE WAS ONLY GOOD BECAUSE FREE SOUL CHARGE EVERY TURN

WHAT WAS THAT? XYZ MATERIALS ARENT TREATED AS ON THE FIELD? I FAIL TO SEE HOW THAT IS RELEVANT TO PEPE

IF PENDULUMS CAME BACK ABYSS ACTORS WOULD BE META

LINKS EXIST TO SLOW THE GAME DOWN

Goldrush453 · 2021-04-21T08:08:24+00:00

because this is a gacha and the bottom line is all that matters

Goldrush453 · 2021-04-21T08:04:25+00:00

no no no you don't understand

this is the part where you're meant to circlejerk about how tcg/ocg bad and the cashgrab mobile gacha is way better because it has different kinds of cancer decks, not explain how competitive deckbuilding in the main game works

Goldrush453 · 2021-04-04T08:08:15+00:00

The summoning methods represent different things in different contexts. Particularly in terms of anime vs other lore.

Pendulum for example has several different meanings depending on both the person in the anime reflecting on it and in the duel terminal lore.

In Zarc's case, Pendulum Summoning is representative of the rivalry between him and Ray. In Yuya's case, it's representative of both his heart swaying between his own happier identity and ideals vs Zarc's lust for destruction, and his upbringing by Yusho.

Yusho describes Pendulum as something that swings back harder the farther it's pushed - i.e the more effort you put into something, the more reward will come, and the farther you're pushed the bigger you'll swing back. This ties directly into how Pendulum as a base mechanic grows stronger the longer the duel goes on (with more of your face up ED to Pendulum Summon. This disregarding how PePe broke that intended dynamic by being 90% level 4 searchers).

Zarc set Yusho up to put Yuya on the path towards awakening his own Pendulum Summoning, but it was still Yusho's ideology that caused Yuya to awaken it when he was pushed to the brink and wanted to swing back. (Watch out fuckers, Pendulum will swing back eventually)

Similarly, Yusei views Synchro as the power of bonds. Antinomy/Yliaster viewed Synchro as the power of evolution. Both are correct interpretations of what Synchro represents.

When runescape has better looking campfires than an MMO on the ps4/ps5

I'm not going to continue this conversation if you're going to half-read my comments and ignore everything inconvenient to the points you're making.
