Current Events > Started up Yugioh World Championship 2011

(+) Yeah! (+)

Apparently this is one of the best Yugioh games. Got spanked twice in the rental tournament, but won the last match.

why tf do i need to obey a banlist in a single player game

So you can get your ass mauled and ripped open by your four clones with meta decks in quick succession no breaks and with your life points not getting restored for each one.

Why can I waste my DP on cards I can't use

it's so they can add them to the AI decks to use against you

Just play duel links on iOS/droid....

Duel Links is a different format than actual Yugioh

Legacy Of The Duelist: Link Evolution is really good if you want a more modern game with all the newer cards, but WC2011 is the best "classic" game if you don't want to learn all of the newer cards and mechanics.

Do standard beatdown decks still dominate the AI?

After the second gx game that wasn't really an option. You at least want a couple low cost field wiping cards while you're at it.

Man, 90% of the cards I pull are shit.

Man I loved/love this game. The most recent card pool for the DS. I also love WC 2006 on GBA for the same reason. TC theres a nice guide for this game that flips between story mode and the monster duelist mode that is super practical and efficient, and gets you access to the most amount of cards and packs as soon as possible @Garioshi

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ds/612092-yu-gi-oh-5ds-world-championship-2011-over-the-nexus/faqs/62759

its the least prominent FAQ for some reason but I love the way its structured

The faq has you covered on that too, lol. Near the start he gives a modified starter deck that runs pretty well. iirc the starter deck comes with Mobius and Zaborg the monarch cards, right? Add those in, the effects are way better than Frostosauruss slightly higher attack.

buy a lot of the Synchro Awaken! Packs to start off, and the structure decks. Before you have enough resources to construct a good themed deck, I would focus on a deck that just focuses on Special summoning in various ways so that you can Tribute Summon and Synchro Summon some heavy hitters. How familiar are you with yugioh as a whole?

I know the basic priorities you should have (card removal and searching) and the flow of the game, but I'm not familiar with specific decks and their gimmicks. I've also watched the entire original series.

Eh thats about all I knew going into the games too. Id reccomend Ultimate Masters 2006 on the GBA too. Smaller cardpool and less mechanics make for a less overwhelming experience while still having tons of strategy etc. 2006 is probably the absolute most polished one imo, the interface is so clean and quick.

anyways, yeah just focus on effect monsters. Card advantage and always having options is important, so monster and spell/trap removal is important, make use of cards that have effects in the graveyard, search cards from the deck, etc. until you get more synergistic decks and whatnot, itll be a game about methodical resource management and maintaining card advantage + more options than your opponent. Once you have access to good combo cards and whatnot its about controlling the field and just rushing your opponent and keeping your thumb on them and foiling their plans to take back momentum

I highly recommend following along with that guide I linked. It highlights good cards in every set, and even touches on historical context of like how this card was good back in 2006 or whatever, or how this super old weak card found new popularity in 2009 because of a new combo etc. Its a fun read and itll really help teach the ropes and it definitely gave me personally a better appreciation of the game. Check our 2006 like I said for a simpler experience too

Man, this game really just wants to kick me in the ribs at every opportunity.

focus on the Monster Duelists like Moja and the Tomato dude first and build up DP. Theyre significantly easier than the story mode characters and you can quickly build up enough DP for cards to pump your deck up with. If you beat all of those monster duelists 5 times youll unlock new packs too. Like I said, focus on buying packs of Synchro Awaken and maybe the Worm Invasion one too. Ignore the first couple packs. Once you get some decent cards, revamp your deck and youll find the story mode duels to be a lot easier

It's impressive that the game runs at a solid 60 fps.

This game has a better ending than the 5DS dub

Is Duelist of the Roses any good?

its not a traditional yugioh game, I know nothing about it but people whove played it seem to like it.

theres also The Falsebound Kingdom, which from what I can tell is a traditional JRPG

Falsebound Kingdom is more a really in depth RTS with a jrpg battle system.

Finally got around to playing through Legacy of the Duelist (old one)

Wtf synchro summons are so broken

---

i played that game so much, i think i ended up with 99% cards collected

that 1% is going to haunt me forever

anything involving racing other than turbo duels were also the worst

its basically an SRPG. i really liked it.

Synchro/XYZ/Pendulum/etc was a mistake

When it comes to Yugioh games, Nightmare Troubadour was the most unforgiving game I think I ever played. It was fucking brutal and I still never beat it lol.
