I love how with Duel Links, GX has like fifty interesting main or recurring characters that but Duel Monsters has like five. so while important characters like Fubuki and O'Brien haven’t even been introduced in GX world yet, Duel Monsters has like. Espa Roba, the magician dude with the saws, and two random Rare Hunters that nobody cares about.
Is this a reference?
PEOPLE?!
Here’s some 5Ds Duelist Chronicles highlights. Devack, Roman, and Misty Tredwell were replaced by their Earthbound Immortal avatars XD I love the special effects and how that random Dark Signer is named “???”
I continue to love the bits and pieces of lore in these dialogue interactions. Seeing Chloe want to break out of her ‘richer than thou’ attitude is incredibly satisfying, especially with how prejudiced Neo Domino started.
MOKUBA JUST STRAIGHT UP HAD JOEY KIDNAPPED
The 5Ds treasure room looks different from previous ones and is guarded by Sector Security!
Disappointed, yet not surprised really, that Konami and 4K/Cross Media rewrote the dialogue here to legitimize the dub’s unnecessary shoehorning-in of an amnesia subplot when Yusei’s found by the twins. A chance to actually do the story straight, which I’m pretty sure Duel Links has done a couple of times…
We need an English text option based on translating the Japanese text already… 🤦🏽♂️ has anyone figured out how to modify the in-game text yet
if you don’t think seto’s voiced lines @ mokuba in tag duels aren’t the cutest shit you’re wrong
This post might get a little long, but here’s what happened.
I was dueling the Vagabond, and he had “Samurai Destroyer” on the field, while I was playing with an Aromage Deck. I knew he was probably going to use “Samurai Destroyer” to attack my face up “Aromage Jasmine”. But luckily I had a “Super Rush Headlong” and activated it before the start of the battle phase (since Samurai Destroyer’s effect means I wouldn’t be able to use it during the battle phase).
I selected “Aromage Jasmine” as the target, and then select the EARTH attribute, meaning that any Earth monster attacking Aromage “Jasmine” (in this case, “Samurai Destroyer”) is immediately sent to the Graveyard. And just as I predicted, he attacked her, resulting in Samurai Destroyer being…well, destroyed.
Now here’s where the problem kicks in. “Samurai Destroyer’s” other effect states that when it’s destroyed by a card effect (AKA an effect like “Super Rush Headlong”), its owner can Special Summon a Machine-Type card from their Graveyard. So the Vagabond just immediately brings “Samurai Destroyer” back on the field.
But THEN…he uses Samurai Destroyer to try and attack “Aromage Jasmine AGAIN. And because “Super Rush Headlong” stays in effect until the turn ends, it activates AGAIN, and sends “Samurai Destroyer” back to the graveyard…only for the Vagabond to use the effect to Special Summon it AGAIN, and attack Aromage Jasmine AGAIN. AND THE CYCLE JUST REPEATS.
The computer literally can’t process that just resummoning Samurai Destroyer and repeatedly attacking the same monster being effected by “Super Rush Headlong” isn’t going to work.
IT’S BEEN STUCK IN A LOOP FOR NEARLY AN HOUR NOW. 🤣
I’ll probably just restart the app and quit the duel instead of resuming it. But I just wanted to share this because it was honestly really hilarious lol. I’d better send a message to Konami while I’m at it. This is a pretty weird bug to have in the AI.
I’m absolutely positive that this was meant to be a pun on his Japanese name. Insector Haga vs Inzektor Haga. And, even then, it’s still two letters off.
