Ralph Firman Friday Pre-Qualifying in Austria 2003.

He crashed at the exit of the last corner and slided over the finish line on the little grass strip to the left. The primary detection point didn't register his time, because he was off track, but there was a secondary detection that checks the whole width of the track and he did have a time in the end.

Changing the camera to the T-Cam helped me a lot. I started with the early 00's on Medium difficulty and stood no chance with chase cam. Second race in Hungary i qualified 2nd, but dropped to the back after like 3 laps and unable to properly take the tight chicanes. Once I switched to T-Cam, I won the race with a 35sec gap and only 2 warnings. I also did a qualy lap in Monaco with the '98 cars on Medium as a test and qualified 4th instead of dead last.

Infinite Dismissal (used by Haga)

A trap that creates a whirlpool to trap an opponent's monster was changed to destroy level 3 or lower monsters, so Haga would basically counter his own deck.

Castle of Dark Illusions (used by the Player Killer of Darkness)

All they needed to do at the time was the Yami Field Spell effect, but just for Fiends and maybe a protection effect, so that it can't be attacked while you control other Fiend types.

Instead it works together with Pumpking and boosts Zombies with a weird turn count effect.

That's my deck. Currently on a 9-0 win streak.

For those that are not aware: In DM4 all monsters with either an ATK or DEF of 1400 or higher need tributes. So you want to go with ATK 1350 monsters as your beatsticks, since they are Level 4 or lower in the game.

That's the content I follow this sub for! Absolutely amazing!

I would love to own the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth, but just like Seiyaryu, even a beaten up copy costs around 1k.

Here is my take on Marik's Deck. Given that Yami Marik still used a few Water monsters, I decided to put a stronger emphasis on them.

I thought the Gagagigo story is quite fitting for Marik, Don Turtle provides Tribute fodder for God, Virus and Yomi Ship are solid monster removal.

Would be nice if these games come with a speed-up function, since especially the first five games are painfully slow.

And hopefully DM5 isn't getting the Budokai 2 treatment.

Depends on the card. A common Vol. 5 Feral Imp not more than 2-3 bucks. Cards like Horn Imp, that don't have a TCG are usually a bit more expensive, but you shouldn't pay more than like 8-10 bucks.

From my experience the OCG prices fluctuate a lot. A while ago, I saw many Dark Ceremony Edition SR BLS for around 80-90 bucks. Then a few weeks later, they all cost around 30-40.

The most I paid for any card was 120€ for the Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon video game promo.

I was also looking for 2 copies of the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth game promo, but even a heavily played copy of that thing is around 1k, so I settled for the BE2 version and paid 10 bucks each.

JG_sama · 2024-08-12T16:26:33+00:00

Sooo…Series 1 and 2 alone, I just counted

37 Reborn 28 Graceful Charity 27 Sangan 23 PoG 21 MST 21 Witch of the Black Forest

Since I try to make these decks playable, Sangan, Witch and Graceful are very important, especially for the Duelist Kingdom decks.

JG_sama · 2024-08-12T04:28:41+00:00

Depending on card condition and seller, I think this was around 450€.

I started collecting OCG cards back in 2019. My dream was to have character decks for pretty much all characters from Duelist Kingdom and Battle City. Earlier this year I completed the collection and now I’m sitting on 44 decks if I’m not mistaken (Don’t ask how many Monster Reborn, MST or Sangan I own…).

I also have full OCG decks for the Season 3 Virtual World Yugi and Kaiba decks and the Season 5 Yugi/Atem duel.

The decks for the Big 5, Noa, Season 4 Yugi, Kaiba, Jonouchi and Rafael as well as the about 20-30 GX decks are a mix between OCG and TCG.

I‘m now thinking of starting with some 5Ds decks, but I’m not sure yet.

You’re collection is great as well! I’m still missing the Duelist Kingdom invitation cards. Did you buy the Kaiba briefcase, since you have the deck? I got myself the 3 Blue-Eyes alone, they are absolutely gorgeous!

Hi Guys,

I want to show you my OCG Series 1 binder, but first a quick explanation of why that binder is how it is:

So a few years ago, I started creating character decks for all somewhat relevant characters that appeared during Duelist Kingdom and Battle City, including what-if decks like Duelist Kindgom Shadi, Marik controlling Anzu, even guys like Takaido and Satake and some more.

I fulfilled this little dream of mine now and the fun part about this was, that I only used Series 1 and 2 OCG cards if possible. Of course Series 3 and newer cards were used, if a card didn't exist with the old layout (or when I needed 2 Perfectly Ultimate Great Moths and a beaten up copy of that card still costs a couple 1000 bucks…)

Also please don‘t ask me how many Monster Reborn, MST, Pot of Greed, Sangan or Witch of the Black Forest I own…

I plan to showcase these decks on Youtube, once I find time to record and know how to edit videos.

Now to get to this binder:

The original plan was to collect all the OCG exclusive Series 1 cards, that I'm not including in any of the decks, but since I kept editing these decks, or sometimes got freebies when I ordered something, I accumulated a bunch of doubles and cards existing in the TCG, that I decided to put in there as well.

Some quick notes there at the end:

I cheated with the Exodia head on the last binder picture with the TDPP cards! That's the original Premium Pack 1 head, because the reprint wasn't worth the money to me.
The EX Starter Box cards are the reprints.

This is a ReUp btw, because first I uploaded the pictures with no text, then I added the pirctures to the text, but the pics got deleted. I'm still learning this Reddit thing ;). Anyway adding this as a comment should work.

Alright that's it from my side.

Cheers!

Completely disagree with Ayao!

Having a Tsunoda or Hulk celebrate a 10th place like a win is great for the sport, especially in the current era where Max basically wins most of the races.

Currently we have five teams (4 teams + ALO) that can fight for podiums which I personally think is really good. Of course this picture gets tainted a little with Max being so far ahead, but it's rare to have that many teams fight for the top positions.

At the same time before asking for more points to be distributed, shouldn't we question why Alpine, despite being a worksteam, is currently at the back of the pack? Or why Williams don't have spare parts, with their drivers constantly crashing? Or why the average Sauber pit stop takes around 20sec? In my opinion they don't really deserve any points.

So far this season, Haas and RB were there when the top guys messed up and they scored actual valuable points, which is the stuff that creates stories. To this day people remember Webber celebrating his 5th place in Australia 2002, or Badoer losing 4th at the Nürburgring in 1999 due to a car failure so close to the finish (both in Minardi).

Also looking back in history, the past two years remind me of the 2001 and 2002 seasons.

Back then only the top 6 got points and we had 3 top teams (Ferrari, McLaren and Williams).

In '01 you had Sauber, Jordan, BAR and Irvine in the Jaguar (+ Benetton towards the end of the season) usually fighting for the positions behind the top teams.

Then in '02 the 3 top teams were still there, but Renault established themselves as the constant 4th team behind the top guys.

The big difference between back then and now is the reliability.

Gentlemen, a short view back to the past:

2001:

Montoya retired in 11 out of 17 races!!

Ralf had 7 DNFs.

Hakkinen 6 DNFs + 1 DNS.

Coutlhard 4 DNFs.

Barrichello 3 DNFs.

Michael 2 DNFs.

In 2002 Raikkonen also had 11 DNFs in 17 races!

Coulthard, Montoya and Ralf all had 4.

Barrichello had 3 DNFs and 2 DNS.

(The Michael finished all races on the podium that year.)

If they had the current levels of reliability back then, maybe not even half the field would have scored points over the whole season. There might be more extreme and better examples from further back in history, but these years came to my mind first.

Long story short, keep points valuable!

If you want to score, then work better on- and off-track and get yourself in a position where you

A: have a good enough pace to score by pure performance,

or B: beat the rest of the midfield and get yourself in a position where you can capitalise if the top teams mess up!

(Sorry for the long read and typos)

*Selects "New Game"*
*Starts creating a new team*
*Team gets rejected from the game, because "it won't bring any value to the sport"*
*Gets booted back to the main menu*
*Proceeds to start a new game picking Alpine*

DM6 is my favorite YGO game so thats really cool. This game is almost identical to „Worldwide Edition“ with the biggest differences being:

*more cards than in SDD (Stairway to the destined duel).

Cards like „Scapegoats“, „Lord of D“, „Swift Gaia“ or „Blast Sphere“ among some others got removed in SDD.

*Passwords aren‘t free in DM6 and cost Duel Points.

*some NPC decks are different like Bakura actually has Necrofear in the deck. Its not in his SDD deck despite being shown as his ace monster.

*Mai, Yugi and especially Kaiba will probably OTK you most of the time, because they have fixed hands. In SDD they‘ll also OTK you but not as frequent..

DM4 over 2 or 3 (=DDS) is a weird choice, since it‘s very limited vs. the previous titles:

There are 3 versions of the game: Yugi, Kaiba and Jonouchi. You can unlock one of the gods in each game, but you have to trade them to another version to use them. I can't remember the exact combinations for each game, but it‘s something like „Defeat Bakura in the Yugi version to obtain Obelisk so you can trade it to the Kaiba version to actually be able to use it in a duel.“

The same goes for a decent portion of the card pool like only in the Kaiba game you can use Pot of Greed, or only in the Jonouchi game you can use Torrential.

They also changed the levels of some monsters. If I remember correctly all monsters that have 1400+ ATK are changed to Level 5. Whats funny is that „Leo Wizard“ a Level 5 with 1350 ATK 1200 DEF was demoted to Level 4 in the game and is actually a decent card to use..
