Alright, I'm going to do it, I'm going to become the greatest Yugioh duelist every. 1) What do a I need to know? 2) What do I need to get? 3) Is this a mistake? Also come and see my show, I've just added a bunch of new tour dates: Live show tickets: www.friendlyjordies.com/live-show
3:30 - I think something that's really important to add to this story is 1) the players were judges and the running theory is they were doing it to force YGO to implement a deck size limit (which they later did but no indication whether this incident played a part in it), and 2) the deck was called "Mischen Impossible," "mischen" being the German word for "shuffle"
Ah, the famous Delinquent Duo. Titled after the card of the same name, they were absolute mad lad Germans. Now we have 40-60 card deck limits. They trolled so hard they had the rules changed, absolute legends.
I'm pretty sure that the 40-card minimum was in place LONG before those two mad lads. As far as I know of, that has a rule since the dawn of Yugioh. You know, to stop people from using comically thin Exodia decks.
The stink is absolutely standard. I was dating a nightmare of a woman (as it turned out) who tricked me into taking her kid to his first YuGiOh event. “It’ll be an opportunity for bonding”, she said. “Woah!” Said nipper at the door of the event. The ammonia stench of unwashed balls in that room bleached my eyebrows instantly.
I remember one saturday morning I went to the warhammer store with my bf to learn combat patrol. We played whilst people came in to pick up orders because a bunch of preorders had come in. One fat neckbeard came in and watched us play for a while then left. The store clerk, who was next to us teaching us the rules, had walked behind the counter and produced a can of glen20 then started spraying around our area and the doorway. The store clerk looked at us and said don't worry it's not you guys, just some people who come here reek and I need to deal with it. Another time a fat guy was sitting and painting a space marine in store and was sweating his chops off for some reason it's not that hard to paint a space marine, and when he left the same store worker took the chair outside and viciously sprayed it with glen20 because of how much sweat the chair was covered in. He told us how much he appreciates it having customers with personal hygiene.
Very first game I had was against a player who was every stereotype oh a warhammer player you could think of. Nasaily voice, constantly hacking coughs and clearing his nose, cheating to win as easily as he could against beginners, playing with units that were just legs on bases, whinging when he lost and the BODY ODOUR, oh dear God we were in a huge open space and I couldn't escape the smell.
"Another time a fat guy was sitting and painting a space marine in store and was sweating his chops off for some reason it's not that hard to paint a space marine" sent me to another world. Almost to the world of the unconscious. Thank you for the laugh.
In highschool a friend of mine started entering in tournaments and wanted me to come along. I thought it looked fun so the next week I bought a starter deck and with the help of my friend built a semi okayish deck to enter in and not get polverised in 2 turns. Anyway the second week I was there a man in a trenchcoat was walking around talking about how his 'missus' was at the shops and that he had to have quick games so he could go and see her. So after gloating to all the virgin neckbeard players for two hours about his 'missus' the door to the shop opens and an elderly lady comes in screaming that her son was taking too long and how his father wont be happy when they get home. Turns out the missus at the shop was actually his mother. The man was in his 40s
No other political journalist would ever have the balls to become the world greatest yu-gi-oh duelist as a side gig. We bask in the presence of greatness lads.
That one story about the guy being bummed that he wasn't going to get any prizes because the other guy got stabbed just unlocked a buried memory. My husband and his buddies all play Warhammer 40K and there was a big tournament being held at the local anime convention that weekend. They had all banded together to get a few hotel rooms and were really pumped for their tournament. And then, overnight, one of them died. Everyone else was just distraught when they woke up and found him. Except one guy named Tommy. He stood there while everyone was crying around him and he was just like "So, we gonna go play or what?"
To be fair, he probably just struggled to process what had happened and it hit him hard afterwards. Like, if he were an actual sociopath he’d be able to mask it, so this sounds me like autism to me-not a lack of caring, but a lacking ability to register.
I play yugioh at a fairly chill locals, but even then, there have been some crazy stories. There was one guy that used to go all the time and he is an adult, and there were a few situations where he pushed around and bullied some of the kids that went. The last time he went he caused a 13 year old to cry and later on I found out he was arrested for running a child porn ring.
This wasn't Preston UK was it? There was an older guy who got found out to be threatening children to win, got found out when one of them started crying and told the store owner. Marched out and told the police would be called if he returned
@@dademurphy1732 nah I’m Australian. This guy was barely an adult tho and obviously had something wrong mentally. He couldn’t hold a job, nor was he very good socially. I always wondered how he was constantly buying top meta decks because for the most part he was living off centrelink paychecks. None of us knew, but apparently he was making a shit tonne of money from abusing children. He still hasn’t been sentenced yet, but I’m hoping for life with no parole.
@@LuckyyBrawl oh wow yeah fingers crossed it was for life... The guy we had doing it was in his 30s/40s and clearly had nothing else going on but Yu-Gi-Oh so sad :')
I used to run a weekly gaming club at a local community centre. A female friend of mine showed up for a while and then just stopped coming, and when I asked her why, she said that first of all, there was a wall of stink you had to sort of sink into slowly to enter, but would become tolerable over time as you become numb to it, but secondly she was creeped out by the constant stares of all the neckbeards in the room, half of whom looked like they wanted to drink her bath water and half of whom would cheerfully have dismantled her internal organs with a pipe wrench.
If you think Yu-Gi-Oh players are screwed up, just wait until you hear the horror stories surrounding Smash Bros. players & Tournaments. One player was seen drinking glue on stage and on stream; another had rotten seafood thrown at him, there's also the sexual assaults and the unholy smells! These are just a few examples! After finding out about these incidents, I'm not all surprised that Nintendo seems to distance itself from unofficial Smash tournaments.
An LGS local to me actually had to soft ban the smash bros club becuase of constant issues, where basically none of them would buy anything from the store (Not even a drink) despite constant requests, then absolutely rioted when they tried to impose a tournament entry fee. 'what do you MEAN i cant use your building for free REEEEEEE' kinda vibes. they tried review bombing the store on google reviews too. insane.
I’ve been apart of the competitive community for around 8 years now and while the fan base can be true as every word people say and the smell is truly unlike any other ( although some of us do shower daily which shouldn’t be an achievement but being part of this game it really is ) one story that I think needs to be told is that a Yugioh TH-cam Content Creator by the name of Alex Cimo travelled to a big Tournament because he promised a fan of his who is physically unable to play the game due to disabilities that if he ever went to a certain tournament he would personally join him and act as his hands for the entire day but letting him come up with every single play just so he could enter a tournament for once. There’s a video online about it and you truly see how much this meant to the individual who got to play one of his favourite games through the kindness of a member of the community. I just wanted to add that story as yes we are full of deranged, socially awkward and just down right shit people but there are moments that really show that some of us are kind hearted and just really enjoy a convoluted children’s card game.
@@lindasmith320 the story is not funny I just wanted to post a story that shows the community in a positive light for once especially as we do get a bad reputation most of the time and maybe on a popular video which is about Yugioh someone might read the story I posted and think about trying out the game which would be great in my opinion but completely agree that the story is not funny and I do understand the context was for most ‘fucked up/outrageous stories’ but just wanted to share this one is all ☺️
@@christophergibb9692I get it, I have known such wonderful stuff to come from both the GW and MtG communities, so when all of the stories you hear are about people flipping tables and forgetting to shower you kind of feel a need to defend all of the goodness you see, because the bad stuff is honestly far less common than you'd think.
My favourite part about this episode is the implication that some neckbeards somehow think themselves above other neckbeards, truly even those who share the bottom rung of the social ladder must have a hierarchy even to themselves
As a pretty casual 40K player I can confirm we look down heavily on the card game sweats…. And don’t breathe through our nose when we’re both in a game store
Oh the neckbeard hierarchy is very real. Every neckbeard group who who shuns personal hygiene who devout all their time and money into useless expensive toys will tell you there's a another far worse group of neckbeards who devout all their time and money into even more useless expensive toys.
clearly some politicians feel threatened by the idea of Jordies absolutely demolishing them in a children's card game and winning the prime ministership from them, or some shit
I remember one time this guy wanted this card (idk what it was as I stopped playing yugioh many years prior, it was around bujins fire fist or something???) but he didn't have the money to get it or anything to trade for it (he worked at Dominoes as a driver). His friend at the shop early in the day happened to just pull said card and a few players wanted to trade/buy for it. The guy who pulled for the card ordered a pizza and told his friend(dominoes guy) it was him, so he delivered the pizza and when he arrived handing off the pizza his buddy was giving him the card. He was super happy and could not believe it. He was stunned. They hugged and this was a long hug at least 10 seconds with all the slapping each others backs, rocking back and forth.. This other guy (the guy who won a lot with bujins tenki fire fist, as I start to recall more information) was pissed that it was just given away and said this is just bs and storms out of the store saying this is stupid giving away that card for free. The store owner said "What a lil bitch."
When I played yugioh it was common for people to run a 'graydal' Deck because when those cards are destroyed the monster that killed it is brought to your side of the field, when that monster is destroyed it's supposed to go to your opponents graveyard but people would forget on purpose and put it in their graveyard so they could shuffle it into their deck at the end of the game.
I used to work in a gaming store that sold yu-gi-oh. None of these stories are weird to me. They were the worst game community for theft, we literally had to tape the binder pages shut to stop them. Finally the store switched to paper printouts of the 9 cards on each binder page. Eventually the store changed owners and rebranded. When they did they stopped carrying yu-gi-oh to avoid the whole headache entirely
I can confirm the Adelaide stabbing story, I used to play MTG at that store and they had to move the tournaments to a new area after that (it was next to a Warhammer store), we could SMELL the yugioh players in the smaller space...
I wonder what the overlap of Yugioh and Smash Tournament players are, cause the odor is STRONG with super smash players too, like a bunch of stunted men who never mentally matured past the age where they only showered when mommy told them to
My partner plays Magic and keeps mints in his dice container so he can be the friendly guy offering them to his opponent at the start, whilst also ensuring he isn't knocked out by halitosis.
When I used to work at a card shop, we kept free travel-size deodorant sticks (and other, mostly feminine, hygiene products) stocked in the bathroom to try and head this off.
I love loving Australia and not sleeping well so it may be middle of the night here in the states but at least there’s yugioh content from Australia from friendly jordies to keep me company
Finally, some payback! Too many funny content creators/streamers/my long distance friends are american or european and I'm sick and tired of being the only one awake at 1am just to catch them! 😡😡😡
As for the stank rule, yeah, I've been at a couple of CCG/Wargames tournaments/games days that either the venue or the tournament had a 'If you stink, you're out' rule. (I played a lot of L5R and 40k back in the day). It's a darned good rule to have IMO.
Listen you leave 7:50 alone, he is doing gods work. I ran into one of those guys in highschool and he had *the perfect deck* and I had no way to beat him with my allowance deck, I asked, how much does this cost you and he just LAUGHED. I quit yugioh THAT DAY.
I mean that’s like asking a professional construction worker how much they spent on tools. I’d laugh too, because you’re asking me to flex on you because you don’t have the same tools? Pocket watching is a laughable thing to do 😂
As an MTG player I can confirm this. Every single time I'm top decking, if I invoke the heart of the cards there is immediately a 100% chance I draw something useless. (Even if I just scryed something useful).
Whenever I visit my local game shop, at the back there is several tables for tournaments and you can tell by the smell alone if it's yu-gi-oh I remember walking in and seeing the windows were misted up and covered in condensation, the humidity of armpits at the tables alone had turned the store into a puberty tropical jungle
Super Smash Bros has a similar rule regarding hygiene because Smash Bros players would intentionally smell bad to distract other players, maybe Konami tried a similar thing with Yu-Gi-Oh
Ran a games shop for years, and worked at GW previous to that. Card games are a bit different to Warhammer because the social contract is quite different. A typical round for cards is 40 odd minutes, mini games is 2+ hours. And importantly they don't require any effort but buying the cards - so inherently the player pool is much larger so more chance for crappy people attending events. And from what I gather, YuGiOh can have games that literally end before they start if people have the right decks. So it's a combination of card game accessibility, a game that encourages a certain type of "only fun for the person winning" gameplay, and probably kids who grew up with the anime builds a unique kind of cesspool. That being said, I have known actual wonderful human beings to play it. But I've also known plenty of the other kind too.
When I was a kid we were treated to some casual viewing of this community, we had to walk through a tournament, in the Atrium in Cape Town, on the way to the skatepark on the roof. Personally it was like watching some curious animal behaviour, but that might have been because a mate of mine would regularly “Attenborough” them.
40k players are legends because we know what we play is a complete joke and massuvely escapist, so we just roll with the punches. Except ork players, they are kings amomgst the legends because they embrace the anarchy of playing a stupid and chaotic race and love it.
"It's like being at year six camp and you're guaranteed to smell Lynx" ...It never occurred to me every country might have their own Axe Body Spray-esque hell-deo
Yeah the UK has the Lynx cloud problem as well. Kids get a Lynx Africa set for Christmas most years because somebody forgets to buy a proper present and has to grab one real quick on the way over to visit.
My honest advice. Don't. The game has twisted into a hideous malformation of a card game with the most asinine cards ever devised. I'm talking each card having multiple paragraphs of words explaining it's Dr. Seuss rules. Where unless you're winning on turn one due to some obscure randomness you're going to lose; and that's if you have a turn one. Add in the scalpers and "card investors" who are artificially raising the price of any card they can, you're honestly looking at potentially thousands of dollars for a competitive deck. But then again what else are you going to waste your money on? so look up a stupid meme deck and go with that.
Agreed. Versed a guy who bragged about how good his deck was because it completely prevents the opponent from playing. Going first or second didn't matter. His deck locked you out of everything.
I Konami is taking the power creep more seriously since Tearment. I was playing a game and my opponent locked me out of most of my zones. Got so mad I stop dueling for weeks.
AFAIK Jordies is pretty well off, and his Sugar Momma missus is even more loaded than that, so if he wants to spend thousands of dollars one pieces of cardboard h'e'll be completely bored of in a week, God bless him.
I remember one time when I was in junior year of high school, I went to my local comic shop with my homies. I was new to the game and my friends wanted me to learn "in the field." So I asked a stranger to duel, but let him know I was still learning. He said that it was fine. I proceeded to take three turns before the guy sighed, packed up his cards, and walked off while saying "god you're slow" under his breath. I won my first public duel by forfeit because he forgot I was new I guess. Lmao what a turd.
Long story short about the story: An egyptian pharaoh got locked into a pyramid-shaped puzzle box. A kid from Japan (or America, depending on the localization) then finds it and it turns out the pharaoh is really good at the Children's Card Game that the kid and his friends play, so whenever a Super Serious fight starts out comes the Goku-looking MF. Also thrown in are some of the following: -Card games where the loser's soul is sent to the shadow realm (apparently 4Kids! censored the part where *the people actually fucking DIED* rather than be sent to some nebulous alternate hell dimension) -Threatening people by pointing at them (Another 4Kids! censor, the original cuts had some people outright threatened with real guns but because the anime was marketed to kids, 4Kids stepped in) -One arc involving going into a computer to fight the long-thought-dead father of Seto Kaiba (a multi-millionare business man who is obsessed with beating Yugi/The Pharaoh at Duel Monsters (what the game is called in-universe) to prove that he is the Ultimate Duelist) because said father lured them there and is trying to steal his body so he can return from the dead. Also included are his board of directors trying to steal the bodies of Yugi and his friends. -Whatever the fuck was going on in the Atlantis arc. And yes, there was an Atlantis arc. The city rose from the ocean and things were going weird. -Literally everyone treating Duel Monsters as a life-or-death situation. There is one scene I remember where two random guys were playing it in the middle of the street and holding up traffic, and after the guy in the car rightfully complained one of the summoned monsters turned around to menace him (IIRC the monsters themselves are projected via holograms or something, but from what I remember of LittleKuribo's videos and his memeing of the Atlantis arc the monsters in the cards *used to actually exist in-universe*, and some cards very explicitly contain the souls of either gods, long-dead monsters, or long dead heroes. -Oh yeah, the game itself was invented in Ancient Egypt. Which is why the Pharaoh is so good at the game. He's also trapped in the puzzle box because he lost a game against his former high priest, who returns to threaten him later during at least two or three arcs. If I got any wrong or the LittleKuribo videos are leaking too much into what I remember, do correct me. I'm honestly not 100% sure if the three Egyptian God Cards actually *did* contain the souls of said gods/god creatures.
The shadow realm was honestly scarier then just dying a lot of the time. I think kids would have been less upset to hear someone died then they got sent to the hell dimension honestly.
One thing to be noted, Yugi/the Pharaoh are not just good at that card game, but literally any game they're challenged in and often titled the King of Games in the english version. They used to play all sorts of games and puzzles in the manga, before Maximillian Pegasus "invented" the card game and it became the hottest stuff in the universe indefinitely.
Thats amazing didn't know that, here's another, The heart of the cards is bullshit all the millenium items have a power and the millenium puzzle lets yugi/atem pull what ever card they're thinking about from their deck@@VehementisEaVeritas
That stab story was true. The event was cancelled and I had a mate who was undefeated in said tournament at the time of the stab. The meme was he never has things go his way at top level events. he’s finally about to top an event and only a divine level intervention could screw him out of it. Like only a stabbing could stop me from topping. *Dude Gets Stabbed* welp GGs.
I used to play Yu Gi Oh when I was 10 back in '05 (Idaho) but it was kind of sexist, in the way that either a lot of kids (it was basically all boys) didn't want to duel me because they assumed I was trash because I was a girl, or they did to try to beat me to make fun of me. My brother who went with me and also played, who is a year older never received this treatment. I ended up throwing away my entire deck like a couple months later, my brother got pissed at me for not giving it to him (I didn't because f*ck him, he never stood up for me.) Now I feel weirdly vindicated that throwing away my deck was a total power move, thanks Jordies! 💖
@@lokelaufeyson9931 I-- yeah I get it but it really sucked at the time, messed with my self-esteem. I had a lot of hobbies that were around gaming and it was still considered more of a boy's thing at the time, I liked playing rough and all that too, at school the girls always liked to group up and talk or play jump rope and it was boring as f*ck 😂 I used to hate being a girl for that reason-- I didn't want to be a boy either, I just wanted to feel accepted. Now I've made my peace with it because I like being a girl AND just happen to like stereotypically male-centric hobbies. A happy ending either way 🌈
@@MissusAnon there is no typical "girl" or "boy" .. we are all individual and unique. Dont worry and be happy, if people dont accept you its not your problem. Its the person who cant accept you who have a problem.
As a commander mtg player, a completely different topic, we had a yugioh player that legitimately had the body of Grimace from Mcdonalds. When i say that that the Grimace costume would be form fitting for this guy, i mean it whole heartedly. He got kicked from the store for being too aggressive, especially towards a minor.
As an ex-MTG player nothing makes me happier than stories of how fucked up Yu-gi-Oh players are. They're built different. One time I dropped a friend off to play Magic at our local store, and found that a quarter of the place was roped off and the bathroom door was taped over with garbage bags. I asked the fellow behind the counter what had happened and he let out a laugh with a bit of pain in his eyes and said it was a plumbing issue. My bud hung out and played cards and I came to pick up him up after (fella broke his spine he could use a drive now and then), he got in and IMMEDIATELY started up with what had happened: At the Yu-gi-Oh night the previous evening one particularly hefty competitor was reaching the final round of whatever those people do claiming he was IN THE ZONE and wouldn't budge: chugging a gigantic 2L soda, some energy drinks, and sucking back 7-11 Mexican-adjacent food items. By what I understand to be nearing the end of a critical game, he started asking for constant pauses to run to the bathroom, after about ten minutes of this, someone at that end of the store walked by the bathroom and projectile vomited (my friend said it was described 3rd hand to him as "spray" so I'm using projectile here), causing a few other people in that area to get a whiff and barf themselves. The owner started bellowing for everyone to get out for fear the rest of the badly nourished awkward teens might start barfing all over the expensive collectible cardboard. It turns out our portly player had been holding it all in past breaking point and finally, well, gained a slow but vigorous leak (imaging kinking and un-kinking a garden hose, I think). He was trying to control the situation without giving up his game position, but by running back and forth he seemed to become more urgent and sweaty and go further out of control (loosening up after like 4 hours of sitting still basically) and, well, sprayed a fair bit outside the bowl ("dropped a melted chocolate cake"). Obsessed with the game, rather than like, going home to clean himself up, he had just kept running back to the table to continue on to what I assume he assumed was inevitable victory. Magic: The Gathering just has fist fights, racists, and cheaters, we don't get the memorable stuff.
I dunno my dude i play both and ive seen some wild stuff in the mtg community too. granted its not as cursed as yugioh, but when you can drop such bangers as 'pinkertons raided a guy's house' and 'guy wins big at a landfill' im sure theres some mad stories about insane players too, not just the insane company
@@chaoticjexakeh, it's kinda like the surface of degeneracy. You hear about mtg and 40k horror stories, but you gotta dig deeper to find the good stuff lol
@@chaoticjexak yeah most of our stuff is violence-based, it's less chortle-worthy... except that one guy who got banned from tourneys for hardstyling next to butt cracks, I think that was ours and I think that man will live the rest of his life a legend
I LOVE when Jordies talks about this stuff because you know there’s going to hundreds of juicy comments telling even more stories. Bravo, folks, Bravo.
I got my own little story. When I was 20 I dated a guy who got me into Yugioh, and I really enjoyed it. It was one of his favourite things. His dad played Yugioh but would always update his deck to make it the most painful to play against. One of those decks that just stops the other person from playing the game by preventing attacks, stopping spells, traps or card effects from being used. You essentially just sit there watching the other person play with themselves while your lifepoints slowly diminish. After two hours of suffering through one game, I lost the will to play Yugioh and I would feel a sense of dread even if my boyfriend asked for a game. No more yugioh girlfriend.
Wait, a guy with a dad who spends way too much time on yugioh? I may happen to know your ex if you live in Germany lol. Dude just rocked up with two decks to locals one day, his deck was meh and he pulled out his Dad's deck and it was the least fun crap I have lost to in my life. However that was over four years ago and I quit in the meantime so who knows.
@@kappadarwin9476 THIS! About half-way into my time with ygo I started carrying my old crappy deck with me so I could have something if a kid or newbie showed up.
Few funny stories: 1. My friends got kicked out of the club for trowing cards at eachother and having irl duels with them where they were to count how many times they got hit. 2. One of my friends got banned for the place after, i kid you not, he shat in the bathroom, not in the toilet, and pretended it wasnt him 3. There is this one kid that gets bullied all the time for being an insufferable asshole and 1 time it got so far that one of the guys in the club needed to be banned from the club so noone got hurt. Yugioh is wild.
I used to judge a local tournament each week at a mall. One week I was writing up the next round of matches while the last 2 players finished their game. When one player (he was notorious for getting absolutely livid when losing) was losing he was getting irate (I was right next to them) and proceeded to pick his entire deck up and throw it at the wall. All you heard was "God damnit!" and then "SMACK" as his deck of cards hit the wall and then exploded around the impact site lol. Such a good time. I still play the game quite often and while there are certainly outliers and bad actors. The community isnt too awful lol
@@おバカ娘wwwI can just imagine this Dolph Lundgren figure walking up to each of the contestants and saying in this thick eastern European accent "I must sniff you."
I recently got into Yugioh after 20 years since I first played it. The game has evolved a lot, gone are the days of summoning a monster and ending your turn or if you’re feeling adventurous, fusion summoning a monster. Now there’s special summoning, xyz summoning, syncho summoning, link summoning, pendulum summoning. I essentially had to re-learn 20 years of rules I wasn’t around for. This is no easy task.
I was in a show a few years ago and my fellow castmates used to play Yu Gi Oh in between numbers (all chill guys, no stinkers or stabbers). I got annoyed at being left out so I went home and built my OWN CUSTOM YU GI OH DECK with cards like Goku, Darth Vader and random Pokemon like Turtwig. Anyway they thought it was hilarious. That's it there's no twist, just a wholesome story.
The part of the policy about hygiene was actually added between 2018 and 2022. Oddly enough, that was not the stupidest thing players made them add to policy.
I was in a card store in St Louis MO. A couple of Yugioh players walked in and they reeked. They got into a fight, took it outside, and the winner came back in and kept playing Love St Louis
I actually missed the tweet and have a story that would've fit. When I was 10 I went to my first and only tournament. I played 1 game against a 23 yr old guy and he cheated to beat me. I didn't know how life points worked so he just reached over and zeroed mine out and said he won
aww man i remember Avcon in Adelaide around 2014 was at the Adelaide convention centre and the yu-gi-oh room was this tiny little room with dozens of people and oh my god the smell was so bad, you walk through the door and its just a brick wall of pungent BO and ass sweat, there was also a semi overweight guy just shirtless sweating it up.
Had a shop keeper ruin the game of Yu-gi-oh for some primary kids, which sucked because we wanted a bigger community, basically what happened some shops buy your cards (to sell in their binder), and this kid obviously did not know the price of the card he pulled sold it for 20 bucks and it was worth 80, it really tore him apart and he quit playing there and then.
@johnlocke4715 usually they r good about it and look up the price and settle it so they can make a profit but the shop keeper knew the kid didn't know the value so it was kinda fucked up
4:20 You reminded me of my favourite Magic the Gathering card, called "Ashnod's Coupon". The effect reads "Target player gets you target drink". Gotta say that playing this one when you're losing sure takes the edge off the pain when you're commanding the winner to go to the fridge.
When the stabbing story showed up I was actually surprised 😂 I was like a weak person just lightly punching someone 3 times and running off was hilarious. Then the blood turns it serious very quickly..
There's a story i heard from another youtuber about when he plays yugioh with his friends. Whenever they play the game, they sometimes play what they call the "heart of the cards version" where they pick any card they want from there deck or extra deck and place it to the side, and at any point during the duel they can say "I believe in the heart of the cards" and play that card regardless of what effect it has to summon/use it
Here's what you need to do: 1: ask viewers to send you their shit cards that they would gladly throw away and use them to build a deck. 2: Watch like 4 episodes of Yugioh The Abridged Series 3: Believe in the heart of the cards. 4: Save the world from some sort of card-game-based apocalypse.
Oh man, I used to be the VP of my college’s Yu-Gi-Oh club. (It was founded by one kid and his younger brother who were both super into yugioh and shockingly there were enough people in the middle of Assfuck Nowhere, USA who knew or played the game to make it a real club. I was VP the semester after he graduated. this didn’t last long, for reasons I’ll get to.) There was this one kid in the club, who I’ll refer to as R. R was a deeply obnoxious tryhard who was insufferable to play against because he genuinely seemed to think he was The Protagonist. wore a long black trench coat, narrated every play like some shit from the anime, was annoying whether he won or lost, the works. Nobody at this club was under 18 (except the founder’s little bro, who would drop by once in a blue moon) but it was outwardly more of a casual club. nobody there was making tournament meta-level plays or decks on account of most of us being broke as hell and having more fun with weird rogue decks. (I played my old favorite weird trap-heavy red-eyes deck. this was before Dragoon was released so it was nowhere near tournament viable but it WAS insanely fun to play. mirror force is underutilized.) The exception, as you may have guessed, was R. R rolled up with tournament decks and begged people to play him. Got passive aggressive if he lost but more often he’d win because he was playing cards of a higher caliber than anyone else, god knows how he afforded them. The founder banned certain decks from the club because it got so bad. When he left, R got fucking *insufferable*. partially because I got voted VP instead of him, despite being a much newer member. He got really weird around me after that, the former VP (now club president) was busy with classes so I was the one who had to deal with him. That, combined with the fact that the club had expanded into more of a general card game club, and people way past college age started showing up to play magic… I just stopped showing up. Still love the casual side of the game! Fun mechanics and shenanigans abound. You can miss me with the tournament meta tho, that shit gets stale fast. Also, it’s weird - my experience has generally been that Magic players smell way worse than YGO players. I say this as someone who plays both. I think they’re just different types of insufferable; the more unpleasant YGO tryhards are know-it-all weebs with the weirdest fetishes you’ve ever heard of, whereas the more unpleasant MTG players are usually conservative divorcees with hygiene and mommy issues and enough sexism to match 10 otherwise equivalent YGO players.
I love that you showed a picture of a trilby and call it a "fedora", but when you saw a fedora, you referred to it as a "Cayman Islands Bank accountant manager hat". In the same picture, one was wearing a trilby, and the other was wearing a fedora. I don't want you status as a "fashion icon", so I felt that needed to be pointed out.
OK, ever heard of Number Hunters? So as a tradition in my neighborhood when I was 15 or so, Zexal came out and so did the Number Monsters. In Zexal there were Number Hunters who dueled to win the opponent's number monster of choice. You could just imagine the dueling shinanigans we got into between everyone. I was, LITERALLY competing to win other people's playing cards. You could say that when I came down to it, I was the Kite to everyone's Yuma when it came down to Number Hunting.
I worked with a guy who went to yugioh tournaments, his best story was that a guy who lost and had a tantrum about it, came back 30 mins later with a knife and tried to stab the guy who beat him, claiming he cheated.
I remember a moment like it was yesterday, when at the board game cafe some guys pulled out next to us and unrolled their hentai playmats and one of them took one of their cards, took a deep sniff and said "ahh smells like waifu"
3 types of cards, Monster Spell Trap Types of monster cards: Normal Effect Ritual (needs a specific ritual spell to play) Pendulum (can be used to set a pendulum scale that lets you summon several monsters with levels between the scale numbers, these cards whilst in the pendulum zone are treated as spells all destroyed pendulum cards go face up in the extra deck unless otherwise stated or via another card effect) Fusion (must use polymerisation to play these cards unless otherwise stated) Synchro (must use a tuner monster and a non-tuner monster to play, total levels of the tuner and non-tuner must equal the same level as the synchro card) xyz (must use at least 2 monsters with the same level to play, materials are place underneath the xyz card and activated by sending 1 material to the graveyard. Xyz monsters have ranks not levels) All Fusion, Synchro, Xyz cards create the extra deck and do not go in the normal deck. The regular deck can house a maximum of 60 cards whilst the extra deck can only house a maximum of 15 cards (destroyed pendulum cards don't count since they start in the normal deck. There are pendulum fusion/synchro/xyz cards as well which start face down in the extra deck and only when they have been destroyed after being on the field do they go face up in the extra deck can they then be summoned via the pendulum scale (if their level/rank is within the scale) Forget link monsters as they are even more useless than a sterile man at a sperm bank.
My cousin played Yu-Gi-Oh in the Perth community. One day he told me he went up in the local tournament rankings because one of the players turned out to be a Discord groomer and they threw him in the clink but this wasn't discovered by the Yu-Gi-Oh community, it was from the local Smash Brothers community that this person was also a part of. Apparently he was quite highly ranked in both leaderboards.
Honestly with some of the decisions Konami made to the game, it's kinda imploding on it's own. Not fun to play. Banning stinky people is probably the only genuinely good thing they've done lmao.
Fun story, we had a kid who was about 18 or so who played the game as if he was in the anime. As in he would explain each of his cards, say their full names out loud, and pose to show off his cards before using them. And ofc, as someone who only knows the game through larping the anime, he often lost to not understanding the rules. Answering your last questions: You don't need to know anything. We used to make up rules as we went, now the judge makes up rules for you. you need to buy enough cards so you can have a mix of at least 40 orange, red, and green cards. Ignore the purple, black, white, blue, and multicoloured ones you're not ready for them yet. Mr. Yugioh looks like that cause his hairs supposed to resemble a hand...as in the thing that holds the yugioh cards.
When I was in grade school I went to a yu gi oh event I sat down next to two dudes probably in their thirties who half way through small talk brought out a zip lock bag full of ripped up bedding foam. I expected them to use it as a strange fidget or something but nope they just started snacking away on foam chunks. They even offered me a "cut"
Damn it! I missed the post when you were looking for story's. I guess I'll tell it here anyways :) Yu-Gi-Oh out of all the games we do at the shop is the worse and I had the most negative experiences with. The "best" time was the guy having a meltdown over $4. He comes in, starts going though cards and he was chill at first. Got a decent pile of cards pulled out he wanted. found a card that was alittle beat up so I take a few dollars off of it and He was fine with it super chill. He finds other one also alittle beat, i do the same thing knock a few dollar's off of it but this was some promo or some shit. Guy said I'll do $8 on it. I said back $12 because it's $15 on the app we use to price. Full meltdown. "You're jewing me, this is so messed up" (points it out, like I don't have eyes and when its sleeve playable. he sounded like a player not a collector were condition would matter) I stick at $12 "you're jewing me" and storms out. He comes backs a few minutes later still pissed but buys the cards. I haven't seen him since and hope i don't, dude was a jackass. And not every shity nerd is a overweight smelly asshole. This dude was the gym rat type, a t shirt with the sleeves cut out, backwards hat type. But thats the end of my tale I wish you luck in your card mastering journey! And great video like always!
@@matthewburrows562To be fair, Asmor was deliberately created as a joke to be the longest possible name to fit on one line in flavortext. Then there was fan demand to make the card. Meanwhile all the Yu-Gi-Oh abominations are because the team has to translate everything literally to avoid another "Frog the Jam" situation. There's also the real GOAT of silly card names in; "Our Market Research Shows That Players Like Really Long Card Names So We Made this Card to Have the Absolute Longest Card Name Ever Elemental". It's however part of a joke set and isn't tournament legal.
Only tip you really need to know is that the 'Pot of Greed' card (which allows you to draw three additional cards from your deck) stacks infinitely. You can play as many Pots of Greed as you want in a single round, then lay down all your best cards at once and utterly demolish your opponent.
As a magic the gathering, star wars legion and warhammer player through my life, it's honestly insane how batshit some people in the hobbies or adjacent hobbies can be 🤣🤣🤣🤣
How the story of Jesse Kotton, a yugioh pro absolutely demolishing a 10 year old on Konami's youtube channel with one of the most DENGERATE FTK's of all time, while the kid was basically playing a pile of cards didn't make it on here amazes me.
As a newbie to the tcg hobby world and the 40k world although 4 years for 40k ain't really new no more, it's important to keep this in mind. I was chatting to my Yu-Gi-Oh dealer and was asking if he's heard of the new cards from the last set - Dark Corridor to be precise. To which he replied no, my autism doesn't function that highly. He's a good friend and we both laughed at me really bloody hard but it's important to keep that in mind. The vast majority of players are in that spectrum for sure. Doesn't excuse any of their behaviours or cleanliness but it does give a reason as to why.
I actually knew the beastiality guy, he assaulted me after a tournament once for throwing a slushy on his car. Then year later I hear the news he's changed his name and everything. Karma sure is funny sometimes
I used to play D&D on the weekends in one of the basement rooms of the local FLGS (friendly local game shop) and and we _were_ mostly teenaged dudes, so did generate _some_ funk, but maybe once a month or so, the shop would host a yugioh tourney in the other (much larger) basement room and it was really bad. There was this miasma that after about an hour would start to permeate throughout the entire basement.
my ex and his friends used to play ygo and I can confirm the whole community is so unhinged. The guy who was arrested for beastiality actually used to play at the same locals as them 😭
Used to play as a teen. Thankfully, the local group didn't smell that bad, but ye gods the *size* of some of those people. Double Doors on the venue were a *requirement*, else they simply wouldn't fit. I remember one time, we had a tournament up a narrow staircase. Waiting for Big Boys to climb the single flight took a few minutes. Bear in mind, I was 6ft and 100kg then. And I'm calling them Big. They made me look tiny.
What you need in modern Yu-Gi-Oh: $500 to buy the newest monthly meta deck that everyone starts using at the same time, rendering everything 6+ months old unusable competitively About 10 hours of practice time with it to understand the very basics of that singular deck At least one friend who also plays. Since that last one is impossible for most Yu-Gi-Oh players, they go to local tournaments and risk getting stabbed by basement neckbeards with complete-body-halitosis instead
@@MeaningPlum1995 even worse, it started from Caius the monarch (dark attribute monarch), which is 2008 ish and when it was released its 300 dollars a card
Brand new sets only release once every 3 months and even if you include all the side sets you usually only get a couple per year that actually do anything. There's a reason several places actually intend to stop carrying it after the first set next month. Most of the sets this year (and kinda last year as well, though greedflation wasn't as big a problem) have been basically worthless meaning the people selling it aren't making money on it. Furthermore, one of the huge problems with the game is that there is too much generic stuff. Stuff that goes in every deck meaning you aren't rebuying most of the cards you're using even if you pointlessly want to play only the high level deck (when there are dozens at the top that you could play, and hundreds that you could play if you just enjoy them most of which cost between 10 and 50 dollars unless you're going max rarity which is a you problem not a game problem). Maybe try not being delusional or a liar.
@@ferryfernandus1423you mean it started in basically the beginning when Mechanicalchaser was like 800 dollars because it was a tournament card. The thing is though you don't always need to have the absolute best. Most people aren't going to have it and most people also aren't going to be competing at the top where people are more likely to have them. Your locals or just playing with friends is nothing like worlds. The vast majority of players play with a pet deck of some kind. If you are really that hard up for money and not interested in competitive (which obviously you aren't), you can even just use proxies with friends. Don't have $2,000 for a starlight Apollousa but you really want one? There's probably someone on Etsy or the like who will make you one for 10 bucks and it's probably going to be three times the quality of the actual cards, lol.
I used to play Magic in my teen years, but some of the other guys played Yugioh too. I've seen "get snot and other body fluids" on cards (on the sleeves) as a strategy... By then I'd already started playing Warhammer Fantasy and 40k so I dropped card games altogether.
I remember hanging out in a Gametraders once when a group of the local Yu-gi-oh card crack addicts came through, one exceptionally dishevelled individual approached the counter to make his request and I was apparently close enough to catch a whiff of his foul breath which smelled like he'd been going ass to mouth on his boyfriend.
okay so there was a local yu gi oh shop i went to, run by a wonderfully kind woman. but it was full of men in their 20s and 30s with proper neckbeards, fedoras and stunk of feces. there was even a backroom for the "better" players that was 7 guys aged 20+ and some 12 year old who ran a blue eyes deck. i vividly remember throwing up when i got home because the people i played against stunk of cigs and unwashed grease. every friday night, directly after primary
I thought the app was glitching or I wasn’t seeing things right, but nope, this is an actual video about an investigative journalist talking about Yugioh.
My first thought seeing this was video was remembering the story of the guy who got stabbed at the Adelaide tournament. Absolutely classic that it was actually in the video. I remember 14 year old me was so sad that the tournaments were cancelled for a while because they couldn't be run in the public food court anymore.
The picture of the really long deck is actually from magic the gathering. They had to make a rule after that you ”have to be able to shuffle your deck unassisted”
The story of how duel monsters warped Yugioh is basically it's own episode, it was popular enough to change the whole manga to revolve around it and spawn the ongoing card game. No more knife games, we'd rather read about a children's card game I guess.
I work in a popular Aussie pop-culture retail store chain and a long, long time ago we used to have tcg boosters on the shop floor (which was as dumb a decision as you'd expect for obvious reasons). Card packs being what they are makes them easy to slip into a pocket or a bag, but legit, no other card game had as many packs stolen per period than Yugioh. I'm talking _orders of magnitude._ If we lost $1k of YGO cards to theft, other games would be more like a couple hundred $ max _combined._ Apparently it was like that across the board in any store where customers could access boosters without staff seeing them 100% of the time. So basically, thieves gonna thieve, but YGO abnormally so. Kinda wild!
Alright, I'm going to do it, I'm going to become the greatest Yugioh duelist every. 1) What do a I need to know? 2) What do I need to get? 3) Is this a mistake?

3:30 - I think something that's really important to add to this story is 1) the players were judges and the running theory is they were doing it to force YGO to implement a deck size limit (which they later did but no indication whether this incident played a part in it), and 2) the deck was called "Mischen Impossible," "mischen" being the German word for "shuffle"
Beautiful. Absolutely stunning protest.
Wow, one pun and hours of suffering. That's German humour alright
Ah, the famous Delinquent Duo. Titled after the card of the same name, they were absolute mad lad Germans. Now we have 40-60 card deck limits. They trolled so hard they had the rules changed, absolute legends.
Of course they were German, finding loopholes in rules is somewhat of a national sport in Germany
The decks' name was "Mischen Impossible" - (Shuffling Impossible)
@@marzipan__it’s even better. One of the players was a judge, who wanted to prove the lack of card limit was dumb.
I'm pretty sure that the 40-card minimum was in place LONG before those two mad lads. As far as I know of, that has a rule since the dawn of Yugioh. You know, to stop people from using comically thin Exodia decks.
The stink is absolutely standard. I was dating a nightmare of a woman (as it turned out) who tricked me into taking her kid to his first YuGiOh event. “It’ll be an opportunity for bonding”, she said. “Woah!” Said nipper at the door of the event. The ammonia stench of unwashed balls in that room bleached my eyebrows instantly.

I remember one saturday morning I went to the warhammer store with my bf to learn combat patrol. We played whilst people came in to pick up orders because a bunch of preorders had come in. One fat neckbeard came in and watched us play for a while then left. The store clerk, who was next to us teaching us the rules, had walked behind the counter and produced a can of glen20 then started spraying around our area and the doorway. The store clerk looked at us and said don't worry it's not you guys, just some people who come here reek and I need to deal with it.
Another time a fat guy was sitting and painting a space marine in store and was sweating his chops off for some reason it's not that hard to paint a space marine, and when he left the same store worker took the chair outside and viciously sprayed it with glen20 because of how much sweat the chair was covered in. He told us how much he appreciates it having customers with personal hygiene.
Very first game I had was against a player who was every stereotype oh a warhammer player you could think of. Nasaily voice, constantly hacking coughs and clearing his nose, cheating to win as easily as he could against beginners, playing with units that were just legs on bases, whinging when he lost and the BODY ODOUR, oh dear God we were in a huge open space and I couldn't escape the smell.
"Another time a fat guy was sitting and painting a space marine in store and was sweating his chops off for some reason it's not that hard to paint a space marine" sent me to another world. Almost to the world of the unconscious. Thank you for the laugh.
Do you smell good?
In highschool a friend of mine started entering in tournaments and wanted me to come along. I thought it looked fun so the next week I bought a starter deck and with the help of my friend built a semi okayish deck to enter in and not get polverised in 2 turns. Anyway the second week I was there a man in a trenchcoat was walking around talking about how his 'missus' was at the shops and that he had to have quick games so he could go and see her. So after gloating to all the virgin neckbeard players for two hours about his 'missus' the door to the shop opens and an elderly lady comes in screaming that her son was taking too long and how his father wont be happy when they get home. Turns out the missus at the shop was actually his mother. The man was in his 40s
No other political journalist would ever have the balls to become the world greatest yu-gi-oh duelist as a side gig. We bask in the presence of greatness lads.
At least there's Maxwell Frost
That one story about the guy being bummed that he wasn't going to get any prizes because the other guy got stabbed just unlocked a buried memory. My husband and his buddies all play Warhammer 40K and there was a big tournament being held at the local anime convention that weekend. They had all banded together to get a few hotel rooms and were really pumped for their tournament. And then, overnight, one of them died. Everyone else was just distraught when they woke up and found him. Except one guy named Tommy. He stood there while everyone was crying around him and he was just like "So, we gonna go play or what?"
Holy Hell
Was this in Australia?
oh my fucking god. That's a heartbreaking story first and foremost, but holy shit the utter social incompetence on some people...
… well at least he passed with friends, doing what he loved
To be fair, he probably just struggled to process what had happened and it hit him hard afterwards. Like, if he were an actual sociopath he’d be able to mask it, so this sounds me like autism to me-not a lack of caring, but a lacking ability to register.
I play yugioh at a fairly chill locals, but even then, there have been some crazy stories. There was one guy that used to go all the time and he is an adult, and there were a few situations where he pushed around and bullied some of the kids that went. The last time he went he caused a 13 year old to cry and later on I found out he was arrested for running a child porn ring.
This wasn't Preston UK was it? There was an older guy who got found out to be threatening children to win, got found out when one of them started crying and told the store owner. Marched out and told the police would be called if he returned
It's always the ones you least expect.
@@dademurphy1732 nah I’m Australian. This guy was barely an adult tho and obviously had something wrong mentally. He couldn’t hold a job, nor was he very good socially. I always wondered how he was constantly buying top meta decks because for the most part he was living off centrelink paychecks. None of us knew, but apparently he was making a shit tonne of money from abusing children. He still hasn’t been sentenced yet, but I’m hoping for life with no parole.
@@LuckyyBrawl oh wow yeah fingers crossed it was for life... The guy we had doing it was in his 30s/40s and clearly had nothing else going on but Yu-Gi-Oh so sad :')
Dude what the hell man people are insane.
I used to run a weekly gaming club at a local community centre. A female friend of mine showed up for a while and then just stopped coming, and when I asked her why, she said that first of all, there was a wall of stink you had to sort of sink into slowly to enter, but would become tolerable over time as you become numb to it, but secondly she was creeped out by the constant stares of all the neckbeards in the room, half of whom looked like they wanted to drink her bath water and half of whom would cheerfully have dismantled her internal organs with a pipe wrench.
Clearly he has never remotely been near a Super Smash Bros tournament
Actually this

@@VolantFool That's almost a surprise
STANK
As you should
If you think Yu-Gi-Oh players are screwed up, just wait until you hear the horror stories surrounding Smash Bros. players & Tournaments. One player was seen drinking glue on stage and on stream; another had rotten seafood thrown at him, there's also the sexual assaults and the unholy smells! These are just a few examples! After finding out about these incidents, I'm not all surprised that Nintendo seems to distance itself from unofficial Smash tournaments.
smash is filled with pedos
And that's not even including the pedophilia...
the amount of racism and sexism in smash tournaments is crazy, easily the worst fandom like 10 years ago, and very likely still the worst.
An LGS local to me actually had to soft ban the smash bros club becuase of constant issues, where basically none of them would buy anything from the store (Not even a drink) despite constant requests, then absolutely rioted when they tried to impose a tournament entry fee. 'what do you MEAN i cant use your building for free REEEEEEE' kinda vibes. they tried review bombing the store on google reviews too. insane.
@@randomperson5579very few large fandoms are good, just look at the "3 sins" style thumbnail stuff that was going on
I’ve been apart of the competitive community for around 8 years now and while the fan base can be true as every word people say and the smell is truly unlike any other ( although some of us do shower daily which shouldn’t be an achievement but being part of this game it really is )
one story that I think needs to be told is that a Yugioh TH-cam Content Creator by the name of Alex Cimo travelled to a big Tournament because he promised a fan of his who is physically unable to play the game due to disabilities that if he ever went to a certain tournament he would personally join him and act as his hands for the entire day but letting him come up with every single play just so he could enter a tournament for once.
There’s a video online about it and you truly see how much this meant to the individual who got to play one of his favourite games through the kindness of a member of the community.
I just wanted to add that story as yes we are full of deranged, socially awkward and just down right shit people but there are moments that really show that some of us are kind hearted and just really enjoy a convoluted children’s card game.
How is this story funny!
@@lindasmith320 the story is not funny I just wanted to post a story that shows the community in a positive light for once especially as we do get a bad reputation most of the time and maybe on a popular video which is about Yugioh someone might read the story I posted and think about trying out the game which would be great in my opinion but completely agree that the story is not funny and I do understand the context was for most ‘fucked up/outrageous stories’ but just wanted to share this one is all ☺️
@@christophergibb9692I get it, I have known such wonderful stuff to come from both the GW and MtG communities, so when all of the stories you hear are about people flipping tables and forgetting to shower you kind of feel a need to defend all of the goodness you see, because the bad stuff is honestly far less common than you'd think.
My favourite part about this episode is the implication that some neckbeards somehow think themselves above other neckbeards, truly even those who share the bottom rung of the social ladder must have a hierarchy even to themselves
Any neckbeard that's a Dungenons and Dragon 'DM'. You'd think they'd cured cancer the way they gloat 😂
As a pretty casual 40K player I can confirm we look down heavily on the card game sweats…. And don’t breathe through our nose when we’re both in a game store
Oh the neckbeard hierarchy is very real. Every neckbeard group who who shuns personal hygiene who devout all their time and money into useless expensive toys will tell you there's a another far worse group of neckbeards who devout all their time and money into even more useless expensive toys.
Amazing how this man be a target by some of the most powerful people in Australia and then turns around to talk about YuGiOh of all things.
clearly some politicians feel threatened by the idea of Jordies absolutely demolishing them in a children's card game and winning the prime ministership from them, or some shit
I remember one time this guy wanted this card (idk what it was as I stopped playing yugioh many years prior, it was around bujins fire fist or something???) but he didn't have the money to get it or anything to trade for it (he worked at Dominoes as a driver).
His friend at the shop early in the day happened to just pull said card and a few players wanted to trade/buy for it.
The guy who pulled for the card ordered a pizza and told his friend(dominoes guy) it was him, so he delivered the pizza and when he arrived handing off the pizza his buddy was giving him the card. He was super happy and could not believe it. He was stunned. They hugged and this was a long hug at least 10 seconds with all the slapping each others backs, rocking back and forth.. This other guy (the guy who won a lot with bujins tenki fire fist, as I start to recall more information) was pissed that it was just given away and said this is just bs and storms out of the store saying this is stupid giving away that card for free.
The store owner said "What a lil bitch."
When I played yugioh it was common for people to run a 'graydal' Deck because when those cards are destroyed the monster that killed it is brought to your side of the field, when that monster is destroyed it's supposed to go to your opponents graveyard but people would forget on purpose and put it in their graveyard so they could shuffle it into their deck at the end of the game.

I used to work in a gaming store that sold yu-gi-oh. None of these stories are weird to me. They were the worst game community for theft, we literally had to tape the binder pages shut to stop them. Finally the store switched to paper printouts of the 9 cards on each binder page.
Eventually the store changed owners and rebranded. When they did they stopped carrying yu-gi-oh to avoid the whole headache entirely
I can confirm the Adelaide stabbing story, I used to play MTG at that store and they had to move the tournaments to a new area after that (it was next to a Warhammer store), we could SMELL the yugioh players in the smaller space...
I wonder what the overlap of Yugioh and Smash Tournament players are, cause the odor is STRONG with super smash players too, like a bunch of stunted men who never mentally matured past the age where they only showered when mommy told them to
When and where was this? I havent played since like 05/6, so im racking my brain trying to figure it out.

My partner plays Magic and keeps mints in his dice container so he can be the friendly guy offering them to his opponent at the start, whilst also ensuring he isn't knocked out by halitosis.
When I used to work at a card shop, we kept free travel-size deodorant sticks (and other, mostly feminine, hygiene products) stocked in the bathroom to try and head this off.

As for the stank rule, yeah, I've been at a couple of CCG/Wargames tournaments/games days that either the venue or the tournament had a 'If you stink, you're out' rule. (I played a lot of L5R and 40k back in the day).
It's a darned good rule to have IMO.
Listen you leave 7:50 alone, he is doing gods work. I ran into one of those guys in highschool and he had *the perfect deck* and I had no way to beat him with my allowance deck, I asked, how much does this cost you and he just LAUGHED. I quit yugioh THAT DAY.

The whole heart of the cards thing is practically begging to get yourself demonically possessed, I don't know what people expected.
As an MTG player I can confirm this. Every single time I'm top decking, if I invoke the heart of the cards there is immediately a 100% chance I draw something useless. (Even if I just scryed something useful).
Whenever I visit my local game shop, at the back there is several tables for tournaments and you can tell by the smell alone if it's yu-gi-oh
I remember walking in and seeing the windows were misted up and covered in condensation, the humidity of armpits at the tables alone had turned the store into a puberty tropical jungle
Super Smash Bros has a similar rule regarding hygiene because Smash Bros players would intentionally smell bad to distract other players, maybe Konami tried a similar thing with Yu-Gi-Oh
Ran a games shop for years, and worked at GW previous to that. Card games are a bit different to Warhammer because the social contract is quite different. A typical round for cards is 40 odd minutes, mini games is 2+ hours. And importantly they don't require any effort but buying the cards - so inherently the player pool is much larger so more chance for crappy people attending events. And from what I gather, YuGiOh can have games that literally end before they start if people have the right decks. So it's a combination of card game accessibility, a game that encourages a certain type of "only fun for the person winning" gameplay, and probably kids who grew up with the anime builds a unique kind of cesspool. That being said, I have known actual wonderful human beings to play it. But I've also known plenty of the other kind too.
When I was a kid we were treated to some casual viewing of this community, we had to walk through a tournament, in the Atrium in Cape Town, on the way to the skatepark on the roof. Personally it was like watching some curious animal behaviour, but that might have been because a mate of mine would regularly “Attenborough” them.
40k players are legends because we know what we play is a complete joke and massuvely escapist, so we just roll with the punches. Except ork players, they are kings amomgst the legends because they embrace the anarchy of playing a stupid and chaotic race and love it.
This video cost me a piece of my soul. I’m contemplating burning my entire yugioh collection
Nice to see Konami is taking the same approach as Super Smash Bros. tournament organizers.
"It's like being at year six camp and you're guaranteed to smell Lynx"
...It never occurred to me every country might have their own Axe Body Spray-esque hell-deo
Yeah the UK has the Lynx cloud problem as well. Kids get a Lynx Africa set for Christmas most years because somebody forgets to buy a proper present and has to grab one real quick on the way over to visit.
@@gregoryclark8217 May God have mercy on your souls. Tag was another one when I was in high school; the boys liked to play tag with Tag 🤢
My honest advice. Don't. The game has twisted into a hideous malformation of a card game with the most asinine cards ever devised. I'm talking each card having multiple paragraphs of words explaining it's Dr. Seuss rules. Where unless you're winning on turn one due to some obscure randomness you're going to lose; and that's if you have a turn one. Add in the scalpers and "card investors" who are artificially raising the price of any card they can, you're honestly looking at potentially thousands of dollars for a competitive deck.
But then again what else are you going to waste your money on? so look up a stupid meme deck and go with that.
Agreed. Versed a guy who bragged about how good his deck was because it completely prevents the opponent from playing. Going first or second didn't matter. His deck locked you out of everything.
That's why I played goat format.
I Konami is taking the power creep more seriously since Tearment. I was playing a game and my opponent locked me out of most of my zones. Got so mad I stop dueling for weeks.
AFAIK Jordies is pretty well off, and his Sugar Momma missus is even more loaded than that, so if he wants to spend thousands of dollars one pieces of cardboard h'e'll be completely bored of in a week, God bless him.
I remember one time when I was in junior year of high school, I went to my local comic shop with my homies. I was new to the game and my friends wanted me to learn "in the field." So I asked a stranger to duel, but let him know I was still learning. He said that it was fine. I proceeded to take three turns before the guy sighed, packed up his cards, and walked off while saying "god you're slow" under his breath. I won my first public duel by forfeit because he forgot I was new I guess. Lmao what a turd.
definitely a turd, god i hate elitists like that
Long story short about the story:
An egyptian pharaoh got locked into a pyramid-shaped puzzle box. A kid from Japan (or America, depending on the localization) then finds it and it turns out the pharaoh is really good at the Children's Card Game that the kid and his friends play, so whenever a Super Serious fight starts out comes the Goku-looking MF.
Also thrown in are some of the following:
-Card games where the loser's soul is sent to the shadow realm (apparently 4Kids! censored the part where *the people actually fucking DIED* rather than be sent to some nebulous alternate hell dimension)
-Threatening people by pointing at them (Another 4Kids! censor, the original cuts had some people outright threatened with real guns but because the anime was marketed to kids, 4Kids stepped in)
-One arc involving going into a computer to fight the long-thought-dead father of Seto Kaiba (a multi-millionare business man who is obsessed with beating Yugi/The Pharaoh at Duel Monsters (what the game is called in-universe) to prove that he is the Ultimate Duelist) because said father lured them there and is trying to steal his body so he can return from the dead. Also included are his board of directors trying to steal the bodies of Yugi and his friends.
-Whatever the fuck was going on in the Atlantis arc. And yes, there was an Atlantis arc. The city rose from the ocean and things were going weird.
-Literally everyone treating Duel Monsters as a life-or-death situation. There is one scene I remember where two random guys were playing it in the middle of the street and holding up traffic, and after the guy in the car rightfully complained one of the summoned monsters turned around to menace him (IIRC the monsters themselves are projected via holograms or something, but from what I remember of LittleKuribo's videos and his memeing of the Atlantis arc the monsters in the cards *used to actually exist in-universe*, and some cards very explicitly contain the souls of either gods, long-dead monsters, or long dead heroes.
-Oh yeah, the game itself was invented in Ancient Egypt. Which is why the Pharaoh is so good at the game. He's also trapped in the puzzle box because he lost a game against his former high priest, who returns to threaten him later during at least two or three arcs.
If I got any wrong or the LittleKuribo videos are leaking too much into what I remember, do correct me. I'm honestly not 100% sure if the three Egyptian God Cards actually *did* contain the souls of said gods/god creatures.
The shadow realm was honestly scarier then just dying a lot of the time. I think kids would have been less upset to hear someone died then they got sent to the hell dimension honestly.
One thing to be noted, Yugi/the Pharaoh are not just good at that card game, but literally any game they're challenged in and often titled the King of Games in the english version. They used to play all sorts of games and puzzles in the manga, before Maximillian Pegasus "invented" the card game and it became the hottest stuff in the universe indefinitely.
Thats amazing didn't know that, here's another, The heart of the cards is bullshit all the millenium items have a power and the millenium puzzle lets yugi/atem pull what ever card they're thinking about from their deck@@VehementisEaVeritas
That stab story was true. The event was cancelled and I had a mate who was undefeated in said tournament at the time of the stab. The meme was he never has things go his way at top level events. he’s finally about to top an event and only a divine level intervention could screw him out of it. Like only a stabbing could stop me from topping. *Dude Gets Stabbed* welp GGs.
I used to play Yu Gi Oh when I was 10 back in '05 (Idaho) but it was kind of sexist, in the way that either a lot of kids (it was basically all boys) didn't want to duel me because they assumed I was trash because I was a girl, or they did to try to beat me to make fun of me. My brother who went with me and also played, who is a year older never received this treatment. I ended up throwing away my entire deck like a couple months later, my brother got pissed at me for not giving it to him (I didn't because f*ck him, he never stood up for me.) Now I feel weirdly vindicated that throwing away my deck was a total power move, thanks Jordies! 💖

@@lokelaufeyson9931 I-- yeah I get it but it really sucked at the time, messed with my self-esteem.

Now I've made my peace with it because I like being a girl AND just happen to like stereotypically male-centric hobbies. A happy ending either way 🌈

As a commander mtg player, a completely different topic, we had a yugioh player that legitimately had the body of Grimace from Mcdonalds. When i say that that the Grimace costume would be form fitting for this guy, i mean it whole heartedly. He got kicked from the store for being too aggressive, especially towards a minor.
As an ex-MTG player nothing makes me happier than stories of how fucked up Yu-gi-Oh players are. They're built different.
One time I dropped a friend off to play Magic at our local store, and found that a quarter of the place was roped off and the bathroom door was taped over with garbage bags. I asked the fellow behind the counter what had happened and he let out a laugh with a bit of pain in his eyes and said it was a plumbing issue.
My bud hung out and played cards and I came to pick up him up after (fella broke his spine he could use a drive now and then), he got in and IMMEDIATELY started up with what had happened:
At the Yu-gi-Oh night the previous evening one particularly hefty competitor was reaching the final round of whatever those people do claiming he was IN THE ZONE and wouldn't budge: chugging a gigantic 2L soda, some energy drinks, and sucking back 7-11 Mexican-adjacent food items. By what I understand to be nearing the end of a critical game, he started asking for constant pauses to run to the bathroom, after about ten minutes of this, someone at that end of the store walked by the bathroom and projectile vomited (my friend said it was described 3rd hand to him as "spray" so I'm using projectile here), causing a few other people in that area to get a whiff and barf themselves. The owner started bellowing for everyone to get out for fear the rest of the badly nourished awkward teens might start barfing all over the expensive collectible cardboard.
It turns out our portly player had been holding it all in past breaking point and finally, well, gained a slow but vigorous leak (imaging kinking and un-kinking a garden hose, I think). He was trying to control the situation without giving up his game position, but by running back and forth he seemed to become more urgent and sweaty and go further out of control (loosening up after like 4 hours of sitting still basically) and, well, sprayed a fair bit outside the bowl ("dropped a melted chocolate cake"). Obsessed with the game, rather than like, going home to clean himself up, he had just kept running back to the table to continue on to what I assume he assumed was inevitable victory.
Magic: The Gathering just has fist fights, racists, and cheaters, we don't get the memorable stuff.
I dunno my dude i play both and ive seen some wild stuff in the mtg community too. granted its not as cursed as yugioh, but when you can drop such bangers as 'pinkertons raided a guy's house' and 'guy wins big at a landfill'
im sure theres some mad stories about insane players too, not just the insane company

I got my own little story.
When I was 20 I dated a guy who got me into Yugioh, and I really enjoyed it. It was one of his favourite things.
His dad played Yugioh but would always update his deck to make it the most painful to play against. One of those decks that just stops the other person from playing the game by preventing attacks, stopping spells, traps or card effects from being used. You essentially just sit there watching the other person play with themselves while your lifepoints slowly diminish.
After two hours of suffering through one game, I lost the will to play Yugioh and I would feel a sense of dread even if my boyfriend asked for a game.
No more yugioh girlfriend.
Wait, a guy with a dad who spends way too much time on yugioh? I may happen to know your ex if you live in Germany lol. Dude just rocked up with two decks to locals one day, his deck was meh and he pulled out his Dad's deck and it was the least fun crap I have lost to in my life. However that was over four years ago and I quit in the meantime so who knows.
@@MDonuT-of7px Haha maybe it's a dad thing.
Nah for me it was in Australia
@@grisha8983 Wild. Well, I hope it was a smooth breakup for everybody involved!
That was mean of the dad to do. I don't like when people go all out on a newcomer its bad sportsmanship.
@@kappadarwin9476 THIS! About half-way into my time with ygo I started carrying my old crappy deck with me so I could have something if a kid or newbie showed up.
Few funny stories:
1. My friends got kicked out of the club for trowing cards at eachother and having irl duels with them where they were to count how many times they got hit.
2. One of my friends got banned for the place after, i kid you not, he shat in the bathroom, not in the toilet, and pretended it wasnt him
3. There is this one kid that gets bullied all the time for being an insufferable asshole and 1 time it got so far that one of the guys in the club needed to be banned from the club so noone got hurt.
Yugioh is wild.
Fun fact. There is a one turn kill using yujo friendship that gets you to use the card over and over.
I used to judge a local tournament each week at a mall. One week I was writing up the next round of matches while the last 2 players finished their game. When one player (he was notorious for getting absolutely livid when losing) was losing he was getting irate (I was right next to them) and proceeded to pick his entire deck up and throw it at the wall. All you heard was "God damnit!" and then "SMACK" as his deck of cards hit the wall and then exploded around the impact site lol. Such a good time. I still play the game quite often and while there are certainly outliers and bad actors. The community isnt too awful lol
This was made for the absolute freak who will be giving the sniff test before each duel.
I'd like to imagine a buff intimidating man walking into the Yu-Gi-Oh office with a booming and scary voice saying "I volunteer to sniff."
@@おバカ娘wwwI can just imagine this Dolph Lundgren figure walking up to each of the contestants and saying in this thick eastern European accent "I must sniff you."
I recently got into Yugioh after 20 years since I first played it.
The game has evolved a lot, gone are the days of summoning a monster and ending your turn or if you’re feeling adventurous, fusion summoning a monster.
Now there’s special summoning, xyz summoning, syncho summoning, link summoning, pendulum summoning.
I essentially had to re-learn 20 years of rules I wasn’t around for.
This is no easy task.
I dunno why but the fact that Jordan knows what Logan is scares me more than these yu-gi-oh stories.
Logan is pretty famous for being a shithole full of junkies
I was in a show a few years ago and my fellow castmates used to play Yu Gi Oh in between numbers (all chill guys, no stinkers or stabbers). I got annoyed at being left out so I went home and built my OWN CUSTOM YU GI OH DECK with cards like Goku, Darth Vader and random Pokemon like Turtwig. Anyway they thought it was hilarious. That's it there's no twist, just a wholesome story.
Your cards sound more fun 👍
Yo I want to see the interaction between goku and darth Vader, what kind of degen combos that would produce 😂
The part of the policy about hygiene was actually added between 2018 and 2022. Oddly enough, that was not the stupidest thing players made them add to policy.
I was in a card store in St Louis MO. A couple of Yugioh players walked in and they reeked. They got into a fight, took it outside, and the winner came back in and kept playing
Love St Louis
I actually missed the tweet and have a story that would've fit. When I was 10 I went to my first and only tournament. I played 1 game against a 23 yr old guy and he cheated to beat me. I didn't know how life points worked so he just reached over and zeroed mine out and said he won
aww man i remember Avcon in Adelaide around 2014 was at the Adelaide convention centre and the yu-gi-oh room was this tiny little room with dozens of people and oh my god the smell was so bad, you walk through the door and its just a brick wall of pungent BO and ass sweat, there was also a semi overweight guy just shirtless sweating it up.
Had a shop keeper ruin the game of Yu-gi-oh for some primary kids, which sucked because we wanted a bigger community, basically what happened some shops buy your cards (to sell in their binder), and this kid obviously did not know the price of the card he pulled sold it for 20 bucks and it was worth 80, it really tore him apart and he quit playing there and then.
So basically the card game version of EB games? “Oh your game is worth $60, best I can do is 2.99 and 1.99 of store credit.”
@johnlocke4715 usually they r good about it and look up the price and settle it so they can make a profit but the shop keeper knew the kid didn't know the value so it was kinda fucked up
4:20 You reminded me of my favourite Magic the Gathering card, called "Ashnod's Coupon". The effect reads "Target player gets you target drink". Gotta say that playing this one when you're losing sure takes the edge off the pain when you're commanding the winner to go to the fridge.
When the stabbing story showed up I was actually surprised 😂 I was like a weak person just lightly punching someone 3 times and running off was hilarious. Then the blood turns it serious very quickly..
There's a story i heard from another youtuber about when he plays yugioh with his friends. Whenever they play the game, they sometimes play what they call the "heart of the cards version" where they pick any card they want from there deck or extra deck and place it to the side, and at any point during the duel they can say "I believe in the heart of the cards" and play that card regardless of what effect it has to summon/use it
Here's what you need to do:
1: ask viewers to send you their shit cards that they would gladly throw away and use them to build a deck.
2: Watch like 4 episodes of Yugioh The Abridged Series
3: Believe in the heart of the cards.
4: Save the world from some sort of card-game-based apocalypse.
You forgot

Oh man, I used to be the VP of my college’s Yu-Gi-Oh club. (It was founded by one kid and his younger brother who were both super into yugioh and shockingly there were enough people in the middle of Assfuck Nowhere, USA who knew or played the game to make it a real club. I was VP the semester after he graduated. this didn’t last long, for reasons I’ll get to.)
There was this one kid in the club, who I’ll refer to as R. R was a deeply obnoxious tryhard who was insufferable to play against because he genuinely seemed to think he was The Protagonist. wore a long black trench coat, narrated every play like some shit from the anime, was annoying whether he won or lost, the works. Nobody at this club was under 18 (except the founder’s little bro, who would drop by once in a blue moon) but it was outwardly more of a casual club. nobody there was making tournament meta-level plays or decks on account of most of us being broke as hell and having more fun with weird rogue decks. (I played my old favorite weird trap-heavy red-eyes deck. this was before Dragoon was released so it was nowhere near tournament viable but it WAS insanely fun to play. mirror force is underutilized.) The exception, as you may have guessed, was R. R rolled up with tournament decks and begged people to play him. Got passive aggressive if he lost but more often he’d win because he was playing cards of a higher caliber than anyone else, god knows how he afforded them. The founder banned certain decks from the club because it got so bad. When he left, R got fucking *insufferable*. partially because I got voted VP instead of him, despite being a much newer member. He got really weird around me after that, the former VP (now club president) was busy with classes so I was the one who had to deal with him. That, combined with the fact that the club had expanded into more of a general card game club, and people way past college age started showing up to play magic… I just stopped showing up.
Still love the casual side of the game! Fun mechanics and shenanigans abound. You can miss me with the tournament meta tho, that shit gets stale fast.
Also, it’s weird - my experience has generally been that Magic players smell way worse than YGO players. I say this as someone who plays both. I think they’re just different types of insufferable; the more unpleasant YGO tryhards are know-it-all weebs with the weirdest fetishes you’ve ever heard of, whereas the more unpleasant MTG players are usually conservative divorcees with hygiene and mommy issues and enough sexism to match 10 otherwise equivalent YGO players.
I love that you showed a picture of a trilby and call it a "fedora", but when you saw a fedora, you referred to it as a "Cayman Islands Bank accountant manager hat". In the same picture, one was wearing a trilby, and the other was wearing a fedora. I don't want you status as a "fashion icon", so I felt that needed to be pointed out.
You can't get this shit wrong when it's in GTA.
My whole metaplay is pretending to be Indiana jones
You must play a lot of Yu-gi-oh.
OK, ever heard of Number Hunters? So as a tradition in my neighborhood when I was 15 or so, Zexal came out and so did the Number Monsters. In Zexal there were Number Hunters who dueled to win the opponent's number monster of choice. You could just imagine the dueling shinanigans we got into between everyone. I was, LITERALLY competing to win other people's playing cards. You could say that when I came down to it, I was the Kite to everyone's Yuma when it came down to Number Hunting.

why
I worked with a guy who went to yugioh tournaments, his best story was that a guy who lost and had a tantrum about it, came back 30 mins later with a knife and tried to stab the guy who beat him, claiming he cheated.
I remember a moment like it was yesterday, when at the board game cafe some guys pulled out next to us and unrolled their hentai playmats and one of them took one of their cards, took a deep sniff and said "ahh smells like waifu"
3 types of cards,
Monster
Spell
Trap
Types of monster cards:
Normal
Effect
Ritual (needs a specific ritual spell to play)
Pendulum (can be used to set a pendulum scale that lets you summon several monsters with levels between the scale numbers, these cards whilst in the pendulum zone are treated as spells all destroyed pendulum cards go face up in the extra deck unless otherwise stated or via another card effect)
Fusion (must use polymerisation to play these cards unless otherwise stated)
Synchro (must use a tuner monster and a non-tuner monster to play, total levels of the tuner and non-tuner must equal the same level as the synchro card)
xyz (must use at least 2 monsters with the same level to play, materials are place underneath the xyz card and activated by sending 1 material to the graveyard. Xyz monsters have ranks not levels)
All Fusion, Synchro, Xyz cards create the extra deck and do not go in the normal deck.
The regular deck can house a maximum of 60 cards whilst the extra deck can only house a maximum of 15 cards (destroyed pendulum cards don't count since they start in the normal deck.
There are pendulum fusion/synchro/xyz cards as well which start face down in the extra deck and only when they have been destroyed after being on the field do they go face up in the extra deck can they then be summoned via the pendulum scale (if their level/rank is within the scale)
Forget link monsters as they are even more useless than a sterile man at a sperm bank.
I feel like Jordy should attend the local Yugioh tourney just to see if the stink is that bad. 😂
Jordy's gonna be Oceania's best Stun player
My cousin played Yu-Gi-Oh in the Perth community. One day he told me he went up in the local tournament rankings because one of the players turned out to be a Discord groomer and they threw him in the clink but this wasn't discovered by the Yu-Gi-Oh community, it was from the local Smash Brothers community that this person was also a part of.
Apparently he was quite highly ranked in both leaderboards.
Honestly with some of the decisions Konami made to the game, it's kinda imploding on it's own. Not fun to play. Banning stinky people is probably the only genuinely good thing they've done lmao.

Fun story, we had a kid who was about 18 or so who played the game as if he was in the anime. As in he would explain each of his cards, say their full names out loud, and pose to show off his cards before using them. And ofc, as someone who only knows the game through larping the anime, he often lost to not understanding the rules.
Answering your last questions:
You don't need to know anything. We used to make up rules as we went, now the judge makes up rules for you.
you need to buy enough cards so you can have a mix of at least 40 orange, red, and green cards. Ignore the purple, black, white, blue, and multicoloured ones you're not ready for them yet.
Mr. Yugioh looks like that cause his hairs supposed to resemble a hand...as in the thing that holds the yugioh cards.
When I was in grade school I went to a yu gi oh event I sat down next to two dudes probably in their thirties who half way through small talk brought out a zip lock bag full of ripped up bedding foam.

Damn it! I missed the post when you were looking for story's. I guess I'll tell it here anyways :) Yu-Gi-Oh out of all the games we do at the shop is the worse and I had the most negative experiences with. The "best" time was the guy having a meltdown over $4. He comes in, starts going though cards and he was chill at first. Got a decent pile of cards pulled out he wanted. found a card that was alittle beat up so I take a few dollars off of it and He was fine with it super chill. He finds other one also alittle beat, i do the same thing knock a few dollar's off of it but this was some promo or some shit. Guy said I'll do $8 on it. I said back $12 because it's $15 on the app we use to price. Full meltdown. "You're jewing me, this is so messed up" (points it out, like I don't have eyes and when its sleeve playable. he sounded like a player not a collector were condition would matter) I stick at $12 "you're jewing me" and storms out. He comes backs a few minutes later still pissed but buys the cards. I haven't seen him since and hope i don't, dude was a jackass. And not every shity nerd is a overweight smelly asshole. This dude was the gym rat type, a t shirt with the sleeves cut out, backwards hat type. But thats the end of my tale I wish you luck in your card mastering journey! And great video like always!
Keep in mind there are cards with names like "Super Anti-Kaiju War Machine Mecha-Thunder-King" (No joke this is a real card)

@@matthewburrows562To be fair, Asmor was deliberately created as a joke to be the longest possible name to fit on one line in flavortext. Then there was fan demand to make the card.

There's also the real GOAT of silly card names in;

It's however part of a joke set and isn't tournament legal.
Only tip you really need to know is that the 'Pot of Greed' card (which allows you to draw three additional cards from your deck) stacks infinitely. You can play as many Pots of Greed as you want in a single round, then lay down all your best cards at once and utterly demolish your opponent.
it's on the banlist for official tournaments, likely for this reason
This is great coz maybe Jordies will be able to discover and tell us all what Pot of Greed does
Finally, its another Yu-Jo Friendship dirty handshake fix.

As a newbie to the tcg hobby world and the 40k world although 4 years for 40k ain't really new no more, it's important to keep this in mind.
I was chatting to my Yu-Gi-Oh dealer and was asking if he's heard of the new cards from the last set - Dark Corridor to be precise. To which he replied no, my autism doesn't function that highly. He's a good friend and we both laughed at me really bloody hard but it's important to keep that in mind. The vast majority of players are in that spectrum for sure. Doesn't excuse any of their behaviours or cleanliness but it does give a reason as to why.
I actually knew the beastiality guy, he assaulted me after a tournament once for throwing a slushy on his car. Then year later I hear the news he's changed his name and everything. Karma sure is funny sometimes
Ayyy I remember those days
Wow, I've heard of this story from one of the long timers in my LGS during a night out after locals, news really spreads
ayyyy@@robbieshields3759
Was it Logan? Sounds like it could really be Caboolture or Morayfield. There's some utter freaks living around there.
@@misatokitty76 it was in fact morayfield
I used to play D&D on the weekends in one of the basement rooms of the local FLGS (friendly local game shop) and and we _were_ mostly teenaged dudes, so did generate _some_ funk, but maybe once a month or so, the shop would host a yugioh tourney in the other (much larger) basement room and it was really bad. There was this miasma that after about an hour would start to permeate throughout the entire basement.
I can't believe that jordies is doing this. It's funny as hell
my ex and his friends used to play ygo and I can confirm the whole community is so unhinged. The guy who was arrested for beastiality actually used to play at the same locals as them 😭
I love it when people upload to suit there Timezone
Right?
5pm on a Friday is a nice time to knock off work
Used to play as a teen. Thankfully, the local group didn't smell that bad, but ye gods the *size* of some of those people.
Double Doors on the venue were a *requirement*, else they simply wouldn't fit.
I remember one time, we had a tournament up a narrow staircase. Waiting for Big Boys to climb the single flight took a few minutes.
Bear in mind, I was 6ft and 100kg then.
And I'm calling them Big.
They made me look tiny.
What you need in modern Yu-Gi-Oh:
$500 to buy the newest monthly meta deck that everyone starts using at the same time, rendering everything 6+ months old unusable competitively
About 10 hours of practice time with it to understand the very basics of that singular deck
At least one friend who also plays.
Since that last one is impossible for most Yu-Gi-Oh players, they go to local tournaments and risk getting stabbed by basement neckbeards with complete-body-halitosis instead
this guy this is the answer ever since xyz summons
@@MeaningPlum1995 even worse, it started from Caius the monarch (dark attribute monarch), which is 2008 ish and when it was released its 300 dollars a card
Brand new sets only release once every 3 months and even if you include all the side sets you usually only get a couple per year that actually do anything.
There's a reason several places actually intend to stop carrying it after the first set next month. Most of the sets this year (and kinda last year as well, though greedflation wasn't as big a problem) have been basically worthless meaning the people selling it aren't making money on it.
Furthermore, one of the huge problems with the game is that there is too much generic stuff.
Stuff that goes in every deck meaning you aren't rebuying most of the cards you're using even if you pointlessly want to play only the high level deck (when there are dozens at the top that you could play, and hundreds that you could play if you just enjoy them most of which cost between 10 and 50 dollars unless you're going max rarity which is a you problem not a game problem).
Maybe try not being delusional or a liar.
@@ferryfernandus1423you mean it started in basically the beginning when Mechanicalchaser was like 800 dollars because it was a tournament card.
The thing is though you don't always need to have the absolute best. Most people aren't going to have it and most people also aren't going to be competing at the top where people are more likely to have them.
Your locals or just playing with friends is nothing like worlds.
The vast majority of players play with a pet deck of some kind.
If you are really that hard up for money and not interested in competitive (which obviously you aren't), you can even just use proxies with friends.
Don't have $2,000 for a starlight Apollousa but you really want one? There's probably someone on Etsy or the like who will make you one for 10 bucks and it's probably going to be three times the quality of the actual cards, lol.
@@ferryfernandus1423 i play a monarch deck still to this day so i know
I used to play Magic in my teen years, but some of the other guys played Yugioh too. I've seen "get snot and other body fluids" on cards (on the sleeves) as a strategy...
By then I'd already started playing Warhammer Fantasy and 40k so I dropped card games altogether.
I remember hanging out in a Gametraders once when a group of the local Yu-gi-oh card crack addicts came through, one exceptionally dishevelled individual approached the counter to make his request and I was apparently close enough to catch a whiff of his foul breath which smelled like he'd been going ass to mouth on his boyfriend.
okay so there was a local yu gi oh shop i went to, run by a wonderfully kind woman. but it was full of men in their 20s and 30s with proper neckbeards, fedoras and stunk of feces. there was even a backroom for the "better" players that was 7 guys aged 20+ and some 12 year old who ran a blue eyes deck. i vividly remember throwing up when i got home because the people i played against stunk of cigs and unwashed grease. every friday night, directly after primary
Jesus, what a horrifyingly bleak example to be given of masculinity. Sounds rough.
I thought the app was glitching or I wasn’t seeing things right, but nope, this is an actual video about an investigative journalist talking about Yugioh.
My first thought seeing this was video was remembering the story of the guy who got stabbed at the Adelaide tournament. Absolutely classic that it was actually in the video. I remember 14 year old me was so sad that the tournaments were cancelled for a while because they couldn't be run in the public food court anymore.
The picture of the really long deck is actually from magic the gathering. They had to make a rule after that you ”have to be able to shuffle your deck unassisted”
😂 ❤
no it's not. it's from yu-gi-oh.
The story of how duel monsters warped Yugioh is basically it's own episode, it was popular enough to change the whole manga to revolve around it and spawn the ongoing card game. No more knife games, we'd rather read about a children's card game I guess.
The most important thing about YuGiOh is to always remember that Pot of Greed allows you to draw 2 extra cards from your deck.
Nobody knows what it does though
I work in a popular Aussie pop-culture retail store chain and a long, long time ago we used to have tcg boosters on the shop floor (which was as dumb a decision as you'd expect for obvious reasons). Card packs being what they are makes them easy to slip into a pocket or a bag, but legit, no other card game had as many packs stolen per period than Yugioh. I'm talking _orders of magnitude._ If we lost $1k of YGO cards to theft, other games would be more like a couple hundred $ max _combined._ Apparently it was like that across the board in any store where customers could access boosters without staff seeing them 100% of the time.
So basically, thieves gonna thieve, but YGO abnormally so. Kinda wild!
