CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER!!! [Yu-Gi-Oh! Archetypes Explained: Vanquish Soul] 

YOOOOO Vanquisher looks dope AF!!

It’s cool that Vanquish Soul got its first DLC character since this came out. Jiaolong is a fun addition to the meta, even if his staff attacks have pretty crazy hitboxes.

Vanquish Soul was an archetype that didn't sound that great when reading it but after playing it and understanding how it works it's so much fun and I hope we get more fighters to the roster especially ones that have effects like pluton since it gives the deck more chanses to play during turn 0. Also as always Emony's editing is fantastic.

I feel like their effects are less about reflecting the assist mechanic and more like putting in the proper button combo

As a long time fighting game player I absolutely loved all of the references you put in the video, it made it extremely enjoyable to watch.

i love fighting games, this archtypes is already one of my favorites, also loved the fighting game references on the video, really fun, btw didn't mention kaiju, there is a kaiju of every attribute you and it is so funny to just show your opponent "look at this kaiju" for the effects, basically taunting them

So, the fighting game theme runs a bit deeper. Even the art evokes the character designs of the fighters from the Blazblue franchise Mad Love - Kokonoe Pluton - Arakune Kaizer - Susano'o Borger - Iron Tager Panthera - Makoto, Panthera, is also the name of the arguably best version of Razer branded Fight Stick controller Razen - Naoto Also, a lot of the spell/traps have references to other keywords from the lore and game mechanics, like Calamity, Dust, and Burst

I think the reveal hand mechanic is supposed to reference different button combinations to do different moves. One button (or one attribute) gets you a weak move but a combination of buttons (or multiple attributes) gets you a stronger move

Love the way you made a character selection screen for the members of the Archetype. I really love this archetype's theme, makes me wish Yugioh would nake a spinoff fighting game with select monsters. That'd be awesome

The editing in this Video is fire. A like well earned. Love the fighting game homages in this Archetype. Cant wait for the second wave

Razen: cool protagonist classic shoto with some charge inputs that acts more like a rival character then the MC. Hype ass combos and theme music when low on health. Madlove: weird/quirky item reliant/resource management set up character who is used in tons of memes. Panthera: hard rushdown rekka character with high skill cieling whose the most popular of the original roster because she has the most lewds and is known outside the VS fighting game player scene. Pluton HG: weird fuck monster character that is the hardest to play and strongest character if you can play like a machine. Heavy Borger: hypest theme music and big fuck damage grappled with long reach and charging command grabs with armor. Kaiser Varius: hype beast boss character everyone loves because "I AM THE HYPE DRAGON!" with the sickest finisher. Rock of Vanquisher: story mode reasoning for all the characters to interact and fight.

Ive been testin with this deck and it is so much FUN. The fact that the big ones can "tag in" like you would in Marvel Vs Capcom and you can reveal monsters for "assist" attacks is so cool to me. Small World can search you any monster in the archetype that youre missing and There can be only one are really good in this archetype. (commenting before finishing video coz im so excited for this archetype uwu)

This archetype is all I wanted, and blazblue is represented I'm so stoked

I could see people splashing Artifacts into decks of this archetype, given that Panthera destroys _all_ backrow in its column at quick effect speed, not just your opponent's. I do have to say I'm disappointed in the use of Dark, instead of Wind or Water. We _desperately_ need more archetypes that use non-Chaos monsters. The Chaos types have totally dominated the game; and it's always such a let down that every time a new non-Chaos archetype comes out, it is woefully weak and there's three other Chaos archetypes released at the same time that are all very strong.

Loving the surge in production quality, keep up the good work!

I've been labbing this archetype with Fur Hire and Zealantis to shuffle placements, and it's hilarious. Panthera as a "just in case" Donna enabler if Beat got Imperm'd, the extreme swarming capability and Calamity Kaiser as searchable negation, it's honestly extremely cool. Not as strong as Runick Fur Hire, but, it IS very cool

i love the little character select screen when going through the monsters

i love the drastic improvement in the editing on this video. you really rocked this one. My only issue is Nova's avatar during the tech-pick section feels really aimless. maybe bounce it around a little in reverb with the voice or give him a few extra faces to swap through when talking.

Consider - whatever engine you splash in together with this is a crossover DLC. I hope it performs well!

I like how you presented the monsters like in a fighting game and that gave me the idea that you could present the hungry burger support like a Menu if its not to much work. Good Work Nova and EmonyChan

These videos are absolutely fan-tas-tic. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making these and for putting in so much of your time, effort energy and passion. Your hard work is palpable and it is amazing to watch anything you upload, this video is a shining example of how to create fun, friendly, funny and forward thinking Yugioh videos. Absolutely brilliant video!

I love it when my hobbies combine/reference each other. I have to try this one out.

I wonder if this could play well with Vaylantz, I think it could be fun to combine two video-game inspired themes

That "Tekken" pun was top tier for a TCG video. Your puns are DEFINITELY improving, GoldenNova. When I first discovered this channel like 2yrs ago I was like :| to some of them now I'm like 😂AND THEN THE CHARACTER SELECT EDIT?! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Really excited to build this deck when it releases

Love the editing for this vid! Very topical for the theme!

Ok: why did we get DARK monster for the archetype instead of WIND? Such a missed opportunity.

Editing is on point with this one, Nova

Love the increase of quality, tho im missing the old Duelist of the roses ost. Great work nova

Really digging this new editing style!

I new Golden was gonna make a Fighting Game Joke at the very start.

Yo the new editing format is fuckin' fire

And I thought the combination of the elements were thought to mimic the pressing button combinations to launch their specials

Did not expect you to cover this archetype this quick ngl

THANK YOU NOVA, I was looking for an awnser of what these guys were based on and how they actually play.

Wow, a pretty cool archetype! I don't really branch out from the decks I use but I'm gonna try this out

Pluton is a play enabler on your opponents turn. Summon pluton, bounce for one of the bigger VS and do plays on turn 0

Plus on block is a crazy cool pun for fighting game/yugioh players 😂

This vid has been Perfect!

Thank you for all the fighting game references (even if you did use fatal fury footage for a king of fighter reference. Eh, close enough).

This deck looks crazy. I’m excited for this and the Burger archetype

The second I heard about this new archetype I scoured the internet for info cuz I'm a huge fighting game nerd.

The pop ups at the bottom got some good chuckles out of me

One card is just a team hyper combo

This archetype is built for me, and i'm mad that I wasn't notified of this, Kaiser is by far my favorite

This decks looks awesome!

that Mirrorjade bit was hilarious

I absolutely love this deck and I've been testing it nonstop since it was revealed. One tech I'm a little surprised you didnt mention was Kashtira Fenrir. Obviously he does conflict with Panthera, but if you open with it, its a strong on field presence that gets you another Fenrir to have an earth in hand, or a single copy of Riseheart if you really need a Fire say for Stake Your Soul. Cant wait for this deck to come out.

VS is something I've been extremely excited for, and witha tournament at our local shop yesterday I won a couple packs and wound up getting Razen, and my friends helped me get other pieces I needed. I'm about to electric wind god fist my way to the top babyyyyyy

Yes! Yes! YES!!!!!! I LOVE THIS NEW ARCHETYPE! Please make more cards for this archetype, it's so flavorful and looks really fun to pull off combos with.

Dust is actually supposed to be referencing breaking through your opponent’s defense with a high lot low attack, since changing positions so you can beat over them

I like the fighting game references!

This really feels like a cross between Mekk-Knights and Tri-Brigade. And the Fighting game motif is pretty nifty.

The tide of the duel is turning Win or Lose Let's Rock

This is my fav of the set

You my good sir get a like for that intro alone

I have been trying to write a Yu-Gi-Oh FGC archetype for so long AND THEY MADE ONE! I saw Juri, so WHEN GRAPPLER?!

3:32 Thanks for noticing

A new member of the archetype was added in Age of Overloard: Vanquish Soul - Jiaolong Level 5 Monster Fire/Wyrm/Effect 2400 ATK/2100 DEF If you reveal a card(s) in your hand to activate a "Vanquish Soul" card or effect (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon this card from your hand. (Quick Effect): You can activate 1 of these effects, by revealing monster(s) in your hand with the listed Attribute(s): •FIRE: Change the battle position of 1 monster on the field. •2 FIRE: Add 1 "Vanquish Soul" card from your Deck to your hand, except "Vanquish Soul Jiaolong". You can only use each effect of "Vanquish Soul Jiaolong" once per turn, and cannot activate more than 1 in the same Chain. Commentor's Note: Since picking up Vanquish Soul (VS) from the latest pack in Master Duel, I've had success with this archetype. Jiaolong's addition to the roster gives the team some added evasion (1 Fire effect) to dodge removal such as Lightning Storm or Mirror Force, while its search effect (2 Fire) allows you to grab a much needed piece of interaction from your deck, such as Trinity Burst or Dust Devil.

Clever guy. You beat me to the punchline.

Buring 3000 on a QuickEff... Daaam!! RIPE for abbuse....

I have a feeling I will LOVE this deck, and seems it'll be pretty budget if Kaiser isn't a secret

There is 1 more coming out later in the year that for me will replace pluton its again a fire type that can special summon itself if you've revealed an attribute to activate a vs effect and can reveat 1 fire to change the battle position of one monster on the field or 2 fires to search a vs card from deck

Oh my RA that thumbnail! XD

Epic thumbnail

I feel like the hand revealing is when you press certain buttons to do the special moves, that's wat I think is the reason

I wish they had more s/t cards that like referenced fighting game mechanics. Like a shoryuken is used to create space with a pressuring opponent, so maybe a quick play/trap that returns 2 cards to the hand of your opponent controls 3 or more cards.

The deck is very strong in the ocg

As a big fighting game fanatic, I love that this archetype is a homage to fighting game archetypes and balanced around the concept of the famous arcade tag fighter style is easily discernible when I see the routes of this deck. I really see the fighting game design within the cards and I love it. Ugh… why are they all going to be ultra rares though?

GET READY FOR THE NEXT DUEL!!!

I do find it fun that the attributes are ment to be button combos. Which fits even more that enemy controller is in the set. All you need to do now is think of your life points as a fighter life bar

Now I'm interested

Patched up my first VS pulls with Nemeses and my Math Captain fave filler sets

Not gonna lie, one of my favorites. Not to mention, ULTRAAAAAA COMBOOOOOOO!!!!

Looks like mirror jade is going to have a chat with the Des bots

What about the skill drain sinergy? You can activate your effects under it, Then bounce them to make them resolve,

Btw borger remind me of chip damage mechanic from fighting games

Okay can I say with that hair Kaiser Varius looks like a dragonified Sephiroth.

Kaiser is my favorite card, just because it looks like Susanoo from BlazBlue

Honestly i love what konami cooks with new archetype rn Either upgrade of older cards like hungry burger, or straight up other modern culture reference like gold pride and vanquish.

Vanquish Soul reminds me of MK and the incredible song. Choose your Destiny.... Flawless Victory!

An idea for a VS field spell would be: "As long as this card remains face-up on the field, all face-up monsters on the field are treated as 'Vanquish Souls' monsters. All Vanquish Soul monsters you control gain 100ATK for each face-up 'Vanquish Soul' monster on the field. If a 'Vanquish Soul' monster you control would be destroyed by battle or your opponent's card effect while this card is in your GY, banish this card instead. This effect of [field spell name] can only be used once per turn."

12:09 literally a tag super!!

Hope we get a soul calibur standin in the future.

Now we just need a medieval army deck, want my proper fusionknights thats not gems

I really Hope VS / Vanquish Soul get support and make more reference to fightning games Maybe a support card with an artwork themed after Smash Bros' "(X character) WINS". Maybe other 6 monsters, as a "rival game", based around the "Wind-Water-Light" trio ?

I wanted to make 3 classic Duel Monsters into VS Bosses but I blanked out at LIGHT and WIND... (Major WIP status XD ) Behold The Unvanquished Field Spell When you activate this card, add to your card the following, according to how many cards from your Hand you Shuffle into your Deck: 2+: 1 EARTH/FIRE/DARK “Vanquish Soul” monster 3+: 1 “Vanquish Soul” Spell 4+: 1 LIGHT/WIND/WATER “The Unvanquished” monster 6+: 1 “Vanquish Soul” Trap If you control no monsters except “Vanquish Soul” monsters, you can reveal the top card of your Deck as if it was in your Hand (on activation) for the effects of “Vanquish Soul” monsters you control, but banish that card face-down after the effect resolves.

4:28 Unrelated Funfact: Razen is the name of the Fire Planet in the DS Game Magical Starsign. Home of the Dwarfs and the Potfolk.

10:43 Perfect art choice Waifu Vs Frame Data XD

I tested with Vanquish Soul before and I think they are really cool, although not quite there yet My favourite has to be Dr Madlove

Razen taking notes from Von Twirlenkiller from madworld

Baobaboon Smoke Mosquito Marmiting Captain 3 of everything VS That's my Master Duel Deck

Here's a thought: what if the restriction on effect activations needing to be on different chains is a reference to end lag?

Panthera effect is good for tribrigade because it can trigger Shuraig.

Konami did a great job killing the hype for this deck by screwing everyone on the rarities...Great video though man

Why did you use *Miscellaneousaurus* as an example of one of the "older cards" Transcendrakes referenced?

If you think fighting games can't have complex stories, you never played the Blazblue franchise.

Kaiser Varius? Are they related to Emperor Varis from Final Fantassy XIV?

I had a thought, if Konami makes an architype based on strategy games like Fire Emblem, would they use Fire Emblem itself as a reference or, do you think they would include the monsters in Capsule Monsters Coliseum?

Please, never say "They got me acting unwise" again. That sent shivers down my spine.
