As an OG player that used to play local tournaments, i respect the knowledge players need to have to be able to pull of these combos, but let's be real here. This is ridiculous.
Actually it's not that hard They only know to do copycat on classical combo they've learnt Yugioh has become same thing than chess : it's more knowledge than skills
u kno the game is messed up when 1 type of card outta 3(traps) became almost useless. Konami must come up with brand new format or ban n limit almost every card
Like Brahhh!! 1 turns takes 10-20minutes?? And the game is finished in two turns or even one turn, really in some cases. Stupid AF! Limit how many monsters can be summoned in one turn, that would calm some of this bs lol.. I prefer old format also being from that era, it was more of a actually back and forth dual. This is LAME!!!
Yeah, just came back to yugioh master duel. Been 10 years since I've played and the game just become 1st turn wins. Game would be much more fun if you could actually play a full game with many turns.
lol Konami is making overpower cards so they can sell cards for collectors. When it comes to competition, OTK is the worst. You come for a tournament and get killed in turn 1, you cannot even enjoy the moment lmao.
Agreed these long drawn own out summons suck I remember summoning was short and sweet some of these cards take way to long to summon I remember also playing with one deck. I still collect but I don’t think I’ll be entering any of these tournaments 😂
That was an awesome performance by Ruben. You can tell this win meant a lot to him and his opponent showed nothing but respect and happiness for him. True players right there. I hope they suck each other off later.
Played high level tournaments when I was 15. Used to be super into it: Tengu, Rabbit, Dark World. Then, aside of taking off with my career in soccer, I didn't recognize this game anymore. Today I am 27 and every once in a while I hop on dueling book to play those decks. My wife thinks I am weird but she can't comprehend the magical enigma those formats were. I don't know what happened man!
I had a six samurai deck and a dino-Rabbit deck. those were the days :D When pendulum cards came out I immediately quit playing the game haha. I very much miss yugioh over 10 years later
I'm 27 too. Tengu format is my favorite to play online when I do play. Especially now that's it's online with all the cards versus playing irl back in the day when pot of duality and solemn warning were so expensive
@@commentercommenting6963 having your real name doesn't make something professional. That's an old way of thinking. That's what makes videogame/cardgame players unique and fun.
@@immerruiz3512 unfortunately i did as well .. i used to love yugioh bro.. they ruined it ..i want to like it so bad but it sucks now .. i completely left it ..
Yu-Gi-Oh has been dead since the day they brought the links😊 it didn't happen yesterday. It s like that the last 8 years. Whoever s still playing this game,needs a cerebral test
The speed and continous combos doesn't bother me, what i think is so dumb is why aren't we forced to have a certain balance to decks to where it makes duels more interesting. At least 40 cards is good but then add 2 more things to make things better. #1. Must have at least 4 trap cards in your deck (not hand trap monsters). #2. More powerful trap cards that are counter (which is speed 3) should be created to be able to counter and compete againt these endless loop decks. Would slow down the game a little to be able to enjoy the counters and see better reactions, along with having a variety of different decks with different types of trap card schemes. So much variety of decks would compete.
All these old players who look at the game now and call it solitaire have no idea the complexities that go into a game nowadays. I’ve played since the beginning and can honestly say I’ve never loved the game so much. People need to try it rather than judge something like a finals match, you might as well be watching a card game you can’t play because that’s how much the game has developed.
I feel like I saw two people playing a chess match where in their turns, they just had arrange all the pieces in a way to win. That wild I would've never imagine the game would reach this weird place
can we just revolutionize the way we play this. with all our technology and now we have AI.. I think we can get closer to yugi-oh arm deck. maybe not the hologram but at least put program all of the cards.
You're right but I suppose that for convenience they only shuffle once their turn is over or an effect is activated regarding the exact placement of the card/s (placing cards at the top/bottom of the deck, milling the top cards, etc...). If 9 cards out of 10 you play are searchers you would just waste time shuffling at every effect resolution, after all duels are timed
Congrats Ruben! I’m an OG player coming back into the game. It’s a totally different game now but I think I enjoy it more than before. Objectively speaking and no nostalgia speaking, the game is better.
Let's see some tournament trade in card reprints . Imagine being able to trade in one of the cards for a unique foil and unique ID that puts the tournament details instead of what box it came from.
I miss when this game was simplified. I played for years and years but sold all my cards about 13 years ago. Looking at collecting some old cards now but man this game has changed and from what I am seeing its too complicated and turns last way too long. As soon as the synchro cards started to arise I knew it was going to take a turn I wasnt into anymore. I wish it would go back to its old roots to simplicity and fun. Imagine getting into the game now... youd be screwed with just a basic structure deck. It would take years to learn the game I feel like.
It kinda sucks that there's a lack of originality to deck building. One person starts using a deck and everyone else just copies and pastes it. Konami needs to limit the number of times you can fusion, synchro, xyz, link and pendulum summon to once per Main Phase, unless a card allows you and additional summon. Also players need to properly shuffle their decks properly every time after searching through it, if you don't like shuffling then don't use do many search effects
Iv had luck with utopia deck where he can quick effect and negate the opponent effect and then you can search for zw pegasus where he can negate effects that targets my utopia ray leo and Iv had luck with those two staples stopping yubels effect but its like you said its who ever that can get it out first out of all honesty
I thought people were suppose to shuffle their deck after looking through it for special summons and searching for a specific card. I dont know cause I've been out of the game for a while. I only the standard simple rules and upto the XYZ summons (not the xyz dragons cannon type summon)
It won’t make a difference since they are constantly going back into the deck for other cards. Only when you are done going into the deck or if a card effect calls for drawing a card then they shuffle thoroughly. It saves a lot of time than having to constantly reshuffle.
miss the time when i considered summon a blue eye white dragon as the sign of end game, nowaday when an op deck like snake eye in this game fallen, another more annoying, more overpower deck like tenpai arise
This sht trash im an OG PLAYER I still play online but goat and Edison only this sht is crazy you don’t even get to play you sit for 20 minutes just to have to scoop smh 🤦🏾♂️
You know what is a fun nostalgia piece for us 90s kids? I gotta say it. Beyblade X. living out it's golden era right now. This gen of beyblade is action packed and totally awesome. Watching this yugioh match... well just reading all the comments. the hype isn't there. very boring gameplay meta. Good for Ruben though. it seemed to mean a lot to him.
The viewing experience is terrible. As someone who has no idea about the game, this couldn't have been worse. Cant clearly see what cards are being played as the camera is too zoomed out and the casters are just mumbling nonstop.
This is why GOAT and Edison format are the best. I appreciate the complexity and knowledge of sequence that these guys know. But it’s not fun to watch or play.
Why are people who don't play the game complaining? You are not the client that this product appeals to? Fine, don't buy. But don't bad mouth it either. The spine someone must have to make such remarks about a product while not being even remotely familiarized with it.
No , actually no one of them plays this anymore and me for example I did not know anything about the game after GX so watching this makes me thankful that I don’t play it

Feels like I’m watching one player playing solitaire while the other watches 😂
still no holograms???
still no duel disks???
its possible but why would konami actually wanna make something good?
Exactly what I said. I didn’t even know yugioh was this serious. And I didn’t even know people still played. But this is kinda lame in 2024 😭
This Game became so ADHS that Ur PC would Break down of all this holograms
They already makes more money by booster packs rather than invest probably million dollars to something that people mostly can't afford
The new duel disk would look like 2 toilet seats stacked on top of one another. Did you see how many cards were used in this duel? Haha.
Is this what Yugioh has become? Waiting 10 minutes for this dude to win the duel on turn one? Man I’d rather read a book.
Lmao bro it took for fuckin ever for the first guy to finish his turn.
Yeah, just came back to yugioh master duel. Been 10 years since I've played and the game just become 1st turn wins. Game would be much more fun if you could actually play a full game with many turns.

love watching two players watching each other playing solitaire.
Make a 1 minute time limit for turns. That will eliminate 1 turn kill decks
Literally came here to say that, chess has a timer. Make this horrid 💩 too.
Yes but also add damage immunity or damage cap for the first 4 turns

This is terrible..i used to play yugioh in my school days..didnt know that it has turned to this degeneracy
It was simple, now its complex. If you think about it every single thing evolved that way
This game is so boring now. Thought I'd give this a watch just to see if the game has changed at all. Sad to see that they made it worse
No one plays Like this. Look for local groups, Most people are chill and just wanna have a great time
thats why people collect cards and dont play the game anymore it became worse than stat wars
Yugioh has really gone down hill. I miss old yugioh where normal summons were.... Normal.
If they got rid of pendulums, xyz, syncro, graveyard and banished effects, and all this chain nonsense, I’d totally get back into playing
Esiste goat format, si gioca con bannedlist e regole del 2004, però è una merda e non è equo per nulla
Miglior retroformat è Edison
I appreciate they actually use their real names. Not online gamer tag names. So much more professional and nicer this way
in a way helps people not privy to the sport take it more serious
Who uses gamer tags? Lmao
@@NeostormXLMAX The duel links wcs used gamer tags. Champion's gamer tag was "shelmy" and for rush it was "quantum cubes". Not very professional.

Let’s bring back the OG game play!!!!
OG just checking out how the game plays out.... that was max 2-3 turns and the game was over. the combos are insanely long.
This game aint fun anymore.. since they took their turns quiet long
card effects re a paragraph long, its too complicated to be fun
@@lenk1432 go play checkers then kid lol its a complicated game
The meta when I played was chaos dragons, synchros, fusions and xyz’s was the greatest. I stopped after links because it got so complicated real fast.
A lot of ppl did actually it was at its best then
It should be max 40 seconds per turn
Or max 5 cards per turn
No time limit, but cards limit.
never expected he's gonna use Yubel. when he reveal the yubel incarnate at the first place i was like oh no this card is like live forever.
I miss classic Yu-Gi-Oh 😢 all this is nonesense n not fun
What the freak did I just watch
So now each player take 5 minutes each to play a turn. I miss the old days xD
Um isn't the knighmare phoenix only draws when it's co-linked?
Crazy how boring this looks
Yu-Gi-Oh at the moment has to be the WORST game of all time 😂😂 Dudes play 28373 mins their first turn,in order to execute their... 1 card combo.
Did they memorize all the oponent card effect too?
yes they played against the same deck probably 100 times+
Amazing job Konami on organising and scheduling this, from the stage, casters, TCG/OCG mc representatives, this looks pro as it should. Keep it up👏
so boring .. one turn takes a year and half .. gets annoying tbh
Gave it up, started playing Pokemon :)

Whats wrong yugioh too hard for you go play pokemon bc its too easy
As an OG plater i only clicked this video to see how long the turns would last and how fast the duel would be... i was not disappointed

yeah i agree. i like combos but it needs some rules to slow down the game and to be able to bring on the table more variety of decks
at least put some cgi to make it interesting

2024 still playing like this? put some animation or hollogram
So when they search their deck, they don't have to reshuffle the deck? I always assumed you had to
