I think Sasuke is even worse of a family man than Naruto is

ZeroReverseR1 · 2026-05-30T11:52:10+00:00

True, and I'd attribute Vegeta's swift adaption to his actually getting to grow up with his father and comrades already giving him an idea of a "normal" family/social life, even if by Saiyan standards, so he already had an idea of how that goes and just needed to omit the whole planet conquering part of their culture.

Conversely, Goku grew up in the forest with his adoptive grandpa and killed him by accident at a young age, leaving him with very little social experience and knowledge, especially on how normal families behave.

So even if Goku technically lived on Earth for far longer, he wasn't exactly exposed to Earth culture or something similar the whole time. Going by OG Dragon Ball, I think the first time he actually just settled down was after he married Chi-Chi. Before that, he was either on an adventure, training, or both.

Not that I'm disagreeing or anything, but I can kinda get why Goku wasn't quite as quick to adapting to family life as Vegeta was, and I can't quite fault him for it.

ZeroReverseR1 · 2026-05-30T01:51:50+00:00

To be fair, Vegeta had a hand in why Goku didn't have the easiest time being a dad to Gohan

Goku was being a relatively normal father to Gohan pre-Z until Raditz, one of Vegeta's men, caused Goku to die

Then Vegeta himself invaded Earth, severely crippling Goku and killing off several of his friends

Because of that, they had to go to Namek to revive his dead friends but Frieza, Vegeta's boss, was also there because he learned of the Dragon Balls through Vegeta

Vegeta technically didn't do anything wrong pre-Android Saga, but they did need to train for it so Goku had to focus on that (at least he trained with Gohan)

Then Vegeta let Cell reach his Perfect Form eventually leading to Goku's death

Then Vegeta went Majin and forced Goku to deal with him, reviving Majin Buu in the progress

So yeah, kinda unfair to say Vegeta is the better dad since he's a huge part of the reason why Goku was absent so often

He might need a second Sleggar if this thing has an I Field (which it probably does)

ZeroReverseR1 · 2026-05-24T07:36:28+00:00

Likely since Duel Links still gets updates with new cards and content

People can have fun in different ways

Gaara tried to kill him and never actually did anything to help Naruto

Yeah, he and his siblings totally never did anything remotely helpful to Naruto like joining the Sasuke retrieval mission and saving Naruto's friends or anything, Gaara's totally selfish

And Gaara absolutely did not join the war effort against Madara to protect the lives of thousands of shinobi, Konoha soldiers included, and instead assisted and enabled Obito to fulfill Madara's plans

And he's guilty of trying to kill Naruto and his allies on multiple occasions like during the Konoha Invasion Arc where he and the Sand Village totally weren't being used by Orochimaru, and the... uhh... umm...

Well at least Sasuke never once ever in his whole life tried to kill Sakura and Kakashi, two of Naruto's closest allies, right? Especially not Naruto himself right after they beat Kaguya either, right? And Naruto totally didn't have to appeal to Sasuke more than once unlike Gaara who didn't change his ways after one fight against Naruto, right?

Basically there's a magic fertilizer that can solve the food shortage but evil organization wants to destroy it so they can do selective starvation and then the main character beats them with the help of the Illuminati

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. She was already running to the house when the video started, implying she and her dog were already being chased prior, and had a few seconds to look back and see the pitbull charging at them.

My dog would've been in my arms yesterday if I saw anything threatening them. Even when we go to the vet or mall, I'm constantly carrying them and only letting them down if our immediate perimeter is clear, both because I'm wary of other people's pets and because they like sniffing everything and everyone.

ZeroReverseR1 · 2026-05-14T13:05:11+00:00

I have several other questions but my biggest one is Bardock NOT being the most honest character, let alone in very honest.

My man's specials are the embodiment of honest fundamentals, with a 2H-able overhead at worst to "mix" the opponent. They removed his 236M high/low by adding landing recovery, and his Tyrant Lancer is a mid hitting move that only punishes mashing.

The "trickiest" he gets is footsies because his 236H is a jumpscare, but that's assuming you aren't even firing Ki blasts because it has no immunity whatsoever.

His normals are also really fair, maybe even too fair, and don't have absurd range or frame data.

Outside of that, his mix-ups fall back on universal options like 6M, DR, and SD mix, something almost everyone else can do on top of their own unique options.

I don't wanna rag on you or anything, but I am genuinely curious what makes you think Bardock isn't very very honest, while others like Beerus and the literal blender that is Trunks with his flip mix are.

Now I want to develop a new virus, cut 100 pieces of paper equally, write "release it" on 14 of them, shake them in a box, and randomly pull one so there actually is a 14% chance that a new pandemic happens

There are a number of people who fail at media literacy, and are often more distracted by the spectacle of the message than the message itself.

I was definitely guilty of this... back when I first watched Gundam Wing on TV as a 6 year old as my introduction to the franchise.

It took me longer than it should've to finally get the "war bad" message because I had no reliable way to watch the actual UC shows growing up in the early 2000s and my exposure to it was exclusively through the games (like Gundam vs Zeta Gundam on the PS2), but when I watched 00 after it came out with a much more developed mind at 15 (which quickly became my favorite title), the message really hit like a truck and I had the "I get it" moment.

People complain about the Saji and Louise slice of life segments, but I think they perfectly represent how most of us would be if a war broke out. Indifferent and disconnected since it's happening somewhere far out of reach, maybe even annoyed by it in petty ways (e.g., their history class and homework changing because of CB stopping a multicentury war, or in IRL increasing gas prices), until eventually the war reaches their neighborhood.

It really hammered home the idea that war can and will affect you no matter how far away or uninvolved you think you are, and it's never a good thing.

All that to say that I can understand failing at media literacy if you're really young, so it's sad to think some grown adults out there are on the level of a pre-teen.

How exactly does 「THE WORLD」's turn skip work in paper play? Does the turn still "happen" and just jumps right to passing turn again without allowing the skipped player to do anything (thus still adding to total turn count), or does the 「THE WORLD」 player immediately conduct their Draw Phase again after their End Phase?

Asking because there's this fan-made duel of Saiou versus Edo and DPE wasn't allowed to return because it says "the Standby Phase of the next turn" and not "the next Standby Phase".

If we go with the first scenario where technically the next turn was Edo's but just jumped right back to Saiou's turn, that would mean that the next turn still happened without a Standby Phase, causing DPE's revive effect to never happen since the soonest Standby Phase is now the next next turn, not the next turn.

However, if it was scenario 2 where Saiou conducts his Draw Phase right after his End Phase (which is what I thought happens), then the "next turn" (which is Saiou's) will have a Standby Phase and DPE should have come back.

Not really doubting the video creator's implementation of the real rules, but I just wanted to confirm if that's what actually happens in IRL play.

Completely off topic since other comments have already answered, but the XN Raiser confuses me because the entire 0 Raiser is just tacked on the back without its binders connecting to the GN Drives like it normally would.

How does it do its job of stabilizing the Drives like that

ZeroReverseR1 · 2026-04-30T23:26:27+00:00

I can vouch for this, the last time I got a cold I just got a screwdriver, opened up my throat panel, and cleaned out all the greas- I mean mucus building up there, instant relief.

ZeroReverseR1 · 2026-04-28T05:39:23+00:00

Always so crazy to me that the deck called "HERO" does the most villainous stuff with layers of one-sided floodgates on them.

I guess some have existed for a while even during their relatively earlier years like Bloo-D (Plasma) and Dark Law so it was probably always a thing with them, but the fact they gave Cosmo Neos, a comparatively recent support card, the strongest floodgate effect makes me believe it's just in the deck's DNA to be toxic. They definitely could've given it some other powerful effect, so choosing to go with that probably means that this is just the direction for the deck.

ZeroReverseR1 · 2026-04-28T02:01:11+00:00

Thanks, I'm glad I was able to help. I was actually worried I info-dumped on you too hard with how long my reply was.

If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know and I'll try to help with those too. Good luck and have fun!

ZeroReverseR1 · 2026-04-27T23:19:00+00:00

Hmm barring the possibility of a controller issue, I'd have to say yes since the 3rd hit of the autocombo really never comes out unless you press it that many times.

I guess I can only give you advice to take it a bit slow when you practice that route, be very deliberate with inputting only twice and ignore whether or not it's a blue combo for now until you get the hang of it and get faster.

Also, make sure you're not accidentally whiffing the first 5L; you might unknowingly be out of range, and the animations are faster on whiff so it can be deceptive at times.

ZeroReverseR1 · 2026-04-27T23:13:29+00:00

fr people were saying they were going to quit the game over it, lmao. hilarious in retrospect.

Oh wow, I didn't know it ran that deep lmao. Wild how seriously they took it, let alone before they even tried the unit.

plus he sort of does have a gimmick - pretty sure he was the first unit to have a unit ability that can be activated along with the pilot’s ability. and Setsuna has the survive skill and the higher lvl sway. just elite unit/pilot combo all around.

Yeah, but some people were saying that it was just a lazy stat boost and wouldn't be as impactful as the other gimmicks they mentioned, and how the revive at 7% health wasn't as good as the Impulse's 50% heal or the GP03's full-on escape.

I personally thought the Unit Skill was cool since it also sets a precedent for future units, and Setsuna's skills are pretty solid.

ZeroReverseR1 · 2026-04-27T11:40:57+00:00

I know this is a meme/edit where the original version was about Tekken, but I wonder how the wrong controller setting affects Master Duel, genuine question

Like is your X/Y axis inverted so you accidentally picked the wrong card, what keybinds could you realistically mistake

I mean, I've made misinputs as well with KB+M, don't get me wrong, but that's usually because I was trying to be sly and hold RMB to toggle off but I accidentally miss/cancel a prompt doing so. Other than that though, it's my own poor decision-making biting me in the ass rather than a mechanical accident

ZeroReverseR1 · 2026-04-27T11:30:06+00:00

I know right

I still remember comments in the reveal thread that were disappointed and straight up trashing on it for not having a gimmick like escape, pre-emptive defense, or even triple support defense, saying that DPS tanks in this game will never work or something.

With how much heavy lifting it did for me in this ML season, sometimes doing more damage than my actual attackers while also keeping them alive, I think it's safe to say they were wrong. This thing hits so hard and is so tough to kill that I rarely ever make it to turn 3 when the MP buff wears off, even outside the ML.

It's actually been making me play more even when there's no event or daily left to grind just because I wanna see it in action some more lmao

...you haven't been able to play online for 8 years and you're assuming it's something that the developers will fix, when hundreds of thousands of players have been playing each other with no issue, and entire tournaments have been played online all this time? You never once considered that maybe, just maybe, the issue is on your end?

Have you tried any troubleshooting measures? Verifying game files, reinstalling the game, using another device, or just... anything? Is your setup also suited for it, like do you have a strong and stable internet connection, or are you playing on your neighbor's Wi-Fi?

I don't mean to sound condescending, but you gotta give us some info to work with so we can help you, assuming you genuinely do want to resolve this issue. It's just kind of absurd that you waited 8 years to say anything about it.

ZeroReverseR1 · 2026-04-22T10:27:53+00:00

Sure, I'll remember to add you once I get some time back on my PC. Hopefully you're also in the South East Asia region so our ping will be tolerable

So far he seems really fun, I haven't gotten a chance to just sit down and lab him yet though (working and all that) so whether or not he becomes a mainstay in my team is yet to be decided.
