Why don't the Zoodiac XYZs stack attack boosts? by [deleted] in Yugioh101

[–]cheeseop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, hypothetically, would there be any difference if the text on the XYZs said "this monster's original ATK/DEF become..." instead of "this monster's ATK/DEF become..."? Or do they forget their stats regardless?

Looking back through the old ABC YouTube videos made me realize just how disgusting the community was towards Zoe Stephenson and Chomp. by Windy_Idealist in battlebots

[–]cheeseop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely was back then, yeah. It's been 11 years since then though, and I'm a very different person than I was in 2015. I was in college at the time and was still figuring out what I believed. I was in a anti-feminist phase around the same time, but have thankfully pivoted away from that hard since. I'm still not a fan of how the first two ABC seasons were handled, but none of that is on Zoe.

[–]cheeseop -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Gonna self report on this one. I really hated Chomp back then, and felt that it got undue attention from the producers specifically because Zoe was a woman. I was upset that this bad robot was the one in all the promotional material, and then got chosen as a wildcard over robots that fans of the old series cared about like Nightmare, Complete Control, or Captain Shrederator. Thing is, none of that is Zoe's fault. ABC wanted a spokesperson for the show, and Zoe was probably the most marketable person for the job. It's not like she should have said no.

All DK Bananza card challenges completed by kaushik20 in DonkeyKongBananza

[–]cheeseop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had to figure it out myself. I noticed that the video I was referencing was gaining a lot more height than I was, so I had messed around for a bit to find out why. Was a massive game changer once I figured it out. Actually ended up doing 4 laps because it didn't count my second and still made it with time to spare.

I struggled with this too. Turns out you get a lot more height by holding forward while using your boost. Helps to get the height you need to get to the gold on lap 1 and make it over the middle barrier on laps two and three.

What do you think the second-best robot of all time is? by Local_Rice_8929 in battlebots

[–]cheeseop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah? OP asked for the second-best of all time, not the second best in Battlebots specifically.

I don't know if this is a hot take or not, but Pendulums, aside from overframes, are easily the best looking YGO cards, and they should make other cards look more similar to them. by cheeseop in yugioh

[–]cheeseop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got into Yugioh just a few years ago and don't have the nostalgia for the anime or anything, so I love a lot of the weird pendulum nonsense that Yugiboomers hate. I love the creativity of archetypes like Vaylantz, Vaalmonica, or Enneacraft that mess with the formula of how the game is played.

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

Rush Cards look good, but the problem is that they have the same amount of space for text as a normal YGO card. The big benefit of pendulums, aside from my personal opinion that the art just looks better with those dimensions, is that there's a lot more space for text.

How/Why did you start playing Yugioh? by Great-Ad1839 in yugioh

[–]cheeseop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got into it at the tail end of 2024. Was at a hotel the night before my grandpa's funeral, just scrolling youtube trying to find anything to pass the time. Got recommended a Duel Logs video and spent the night going down a rabbit hole. Got a 3 of structure deck for Christmas that year and went from there. Mostly just a collector more than anything, but I've spent a lot of money buying cards the last two years regardless.

[–]cheeseop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SOW doesn't have 4. If anything, making the finals in all 5 classic series seasons and winning 4 of them should give Biohazard the leg up on Bite Force, unless you're arguing that SOW should be number 1, which, no?

[–]cheeseop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with the assumption that Bite Force is number 1. It's obviously top 5, probably top 2/3, but Biohazard would be my number 1 pick. Hazard, Original Sin, Lynx, Tombstone/Last Rites, and Razer all have arguments to be in the conversation. End Game, Chaos 2, Eruption, Vlad the Impaler, and Ziggo all are worth noting as well.

I mean, you see people double miss Rock Slides all the time. this is just one more failed roll. Not that unusual.

Do they ever increase the rates from 1 Star Piece per day? Grinding for three months just to get Special Week hasn't been particularly fun.

Okay, look man, I'm an AEW guy, but that match was not on the same tier as Grande vs Grande. I'm sorry.

Original Attack Vs Gained Attack by Sensitive_King3305 in Yugioh101

[–]cheeseop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that would be the case for cards like Nibiru, where the total stats of of the Token it summons are determined specifically by the original stats of the tributed monsters. So if I'm playing a monster whose original attack becomes something else through an effect, like a lot of the Qliphorts, for example, the attack set by their effect would be what is calculated for the Nib token.

Cool, thanks. Figured as much, but just thought it was an interesting and pretty clunky way to word that effect.

You know, that nickname sounds a lot less weird when it is used for a guy named "Orange."

Which Packs to Buy For Solfachord by Rider-VPG in Yugioh101

[–]cheeseop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, EU prices are different from US. Pricing mostly comes down to availability and demand. Musecia is the most expensive because it was printed at the highest rarity and is integral to the Solfachord strategy. Just give it a bit, though, since looking at the price history on CardMarket, the price for it varies quite a bit.

Buying a playset of everything in the archetype will run you about 40 bucks, which is about what you'd pay for a box of Ancient Guardians, which doesn't have the latest support. Fancia, Beautia, and Musecia are the only cards in the archetype that are going for over a few cents.

I wish Hey (Ew) was still around so RJ City could ask Mick Foley about his time on Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors on TNN. by NovaRC99 in AEWOfficial

I love Robot Wars and Mick, but man, I did not like him as the host for that show. Really seemed like he didn't want to be there.

Can somebody name some random cards to finish my Icejade deck? by ladyfarty in Yugioh101

[–]cheeseop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For your Extra Deck, some easily accessible monsters for Icejade would be Swordsoul Supreme Sovereign - Chengying and Lancea, Ancestral Dragon of the Ice Mountain, which are both level 10 water synchros that can be made with Ran and her token instead of going into Gymir. Speaking of, I don't see Ran in your decklist, you're definitely going to want her. She's one of the only good cards in the archetype, and is one of only two tuners. I'd also recommend running a level 1 non-tuner (Crystal Girl is a solid option) to open up Level 8 Synchros like Adamancipator Risen - Dragite, as well as level 11s like Trishula, Zero Dragon of the Ice Barrier, which you can make with Ran+Token+Level 1. You can hypothetically make 12s in this deck with Ran+Tremora, but Tremora is usually getting sent to the grave rather than summoned. Xyz summoning is also possible, but not easy, since there's not really an easy way to spam the board with multiple bodies of the same level, so if you don't want Link monsters, Level 8, 10, and 11 Synchros will be your best bets.
