I need advice, from personal experience when I came back into yugioh the game last sometimes just after my first turn or even before my first turn, so in frustration I wanted to come up with my own TCG and would like to know the steps into doing that and have you ever done a video on Duel Masters tutorial? I loved that game because it was a easier understanding of Magic the gathering for me and better in general.
We have announced that we will be adding a "standard" format for people that want to use cards outside of the MHA format. Join the community for more info!
@@Vermazing Are Universus sets now standalone and self contained? Back when it was UFS, each set was just another set. So you could bring Felicia (Darkstalkers) to a game vs Sub-Zero (MKX). Is that no longer the case?
@@kalosprismatic So, the trick with that is the "stand alone" came with the MHA set and started the "MHA-only" format. That said, Standard is still a thing and you can take MHA cards into Standard. You just can't take Standard cards into a MHA-Only format. Think of it like Standard vs Modern in MtG.
@@kalosprismatic Currently MHA has its own solo format. But Older ips are in the standard/legacy format. You can mix in MHA cards in the Stand/Legacy format
Hello Professor! As an up and coming content creator in the MHA landscape and the current #2 ranked player worldwide in the competitive scene I cannot tell you how much I appreciate a large content creator like yourself making content for the game I love so much, and I hope to see more of it in the future!
Thanks for giving our little game a showcase, Prof! You did a great job and I'll definitely be directing newer players to this guide. Let's go plus ultra together. 💥
I’ve been playing this game since 2007, and I’ve never seen a better explainer video. This was so incredible, thank you for the time you spent putting this together
Yeah so Universus started out as the Universal Fighting System back in 2006. The game system stayed relatively the same through it all, but got a name changed to Universus and then started a really heavy MHA focus once they got the license. The OG game was based on fighting games mostly and collected all kinds of licenses - Street Fighter, Soul Caliber, Tekken etc. Eventually they got out of fighters exclusively, picked up Mega Man for a while, and now they have MHA. You could also mix cards from the licenses to make decks, so Ryu throwing mega busters and snake man throwing shoryukens at people.
Wow, someone else who has played this game as long as I have!! I really hope they get the Fighting Game licenses back, considering the original inspiration for the game!
Glad to see you cover this. Been playing since Street Fighter vs Darkstalkers back in 2018 (though I've been getting precons since the the first Jasco Darkstalkers set) and its been a ton of fun.
Dear Professor, thank you for making this video. This game is great and I hope that this tutorial will help making the community grow. Cheers from Poland and thank you for creating awesome videos through all these years.
The professor didn't mention this but not only are pack relatively cheap compared to mtg. My Hero Academia also has a loyalty rewards program! You can send in opened pack wrappers to get loyalty points as well as you get loyalty points for playing in events and these points can be used to redeem promo cards!!!
the check system seems really neat, especially alongside the progressive difficulty and commit systems. it always feels so disappointing when you're just 1 shy of doing what you want in games in general, so I feel that a way to bump your numbers and hit the check gives players more agency, which is typically good. I hadn't heard about UniVersus before but I am definitely intrigued.
The check system is a cool way to balance cards. Essentially really overpowered cards can be given low check values so that if you want to run those OP cards, you have to either: - Run a bunch of low difficulty cards to compensate for when you check that OP card, making your overall deck less punchy - Or just play recklessly with an OP deck and accept that the RNG gods will force you to skip turns every now and then (the High Roller method)
One thing the professor didn't mention is that if you fail a check and you don't pay or can't pay for the check then your turn ends which means you have to manage resources as you also need foundations and cards to defend yourself with so typically most decks attack 2-3 times
I love it when the community college covers non mtg games. I would be interested in a follow up video checking in on the various non mtg games that have been covered in the past
Hi Professor! So happy to see you do a video of my favorite card game! I had a clarification question on the rules: Have the mulligan rules for player 1 changed? Previously, player 1 could mulligan twice instead of once. There's no official ruling on that yet so just wanted to see if this was stated as response to insider info towards a future rule change hahaha. Thank you and love the content!
I just played this for the first time the other day at my lgs. There's only 4 ppl who play it there so there aren't any tournaments unfortunately but it was pretty fun to get introduced.
I loved playing this game back when it was called UFS. In UFS you didn't have to limit yourself to only cards from one of your characters symbols, you could play any cards you wanted, but during gameplay you could only play cards that contained a symbol that matched your character and every other card you've played that turn. That is a bit complicated to say and generally isn't done outside of really rare circumstances in the game though, so I see why you would omit that.
They changed that rule in MHA format though, now all cards in your deck must share a single symbol. Which is a shame, I feel like certain characters like True Form All Might would really benefit from being to play Death cards through symbol chaining, but considering he needs to play either Good or All so he shares a symbol with all other versions of All Might, he doesn't get to benefit from cards like Excited for Blood or Super Regeneration. The Death symbol is basically just for show.
Whoa, I played this card game engine when it was known as Universal Fighting System (UFS). Back then about 15 years ago, I was playing cards based on Street Fighter, Samurai Showdown, King of Fighters. So yes, I very well know how to play this game already and very happy its managed to survive after all these years! 😁
Been a UFS/Universus player for a long time. Really happy to see you covering the MHA format! This new format has brought a lot of life back into the Standard community locally as well! Thank you for helping to get more eyes on my favorite cardboard crack!
What a great video idea! I love the show/manga but never played it before. Now I’m quite tempted to pick up some cards, even just for the artwork. I’d love to see the Professor try to learn Yugioh as a side series!
The only thing that COULD have made this tutorial vid better would have been something like "Three rounds of play" or something similiar, so the mechanics explain could be seen strung together in action.
I've only heard of my hero academia from my sister and I play MTG and I think I'm going to figure out how to make optimal decks for this game and make her a deck
Me: Oh, MHA has a card game. Cool. *sees symbols for good, Life, Order, Death, and Evil, multiple character versions, and what I'm assuming is card cost, Card check, and a Mid block on the character cards, as well as the word enhance* Me: UFS? I haven't played that in Years!
Never cease to amaze us Professor. This is the first good how to play video for this game and encompasses everything a new player needs to know to start. Thank you.
Professor, I have a serious question that I wonder with your knowledge if you could help me. I live in the middle of nowhere and are multiple hours away from any LGS. Is there any LGS type place that offers online support and prizes and promos I can get by participating?
I love playing with physical cards and spelltable has opened up so many doors and I can play pickup games now but I’m still missing that LGS feel and would love to earn some promos🤷♂️
Gotta love the time and dedication going into learning, and then teaching, so many other fun collectable card games, displayed by the professor! Looking into Universus, there are some really cool IPs! I can only imagine the day a video drops where the prof tries to explain Yu-Gi-Oh! in 90 minutes or less lol.
Thank you so much for this video prof. Honestly? i tried so many videos before yours, and they did not click. You explained it in a way that made it simple, broke down each step in order, in such a way that it was easy to understand.
I probably won't get this but the momentum mechanic seems like a cool solution to the Flesh and Blood problem of just letting every nonlethal attack hit you. Oh but this game is much older than Flesh and Blood.... interesting.
I really like how you could play either of these decks against Sub Zero from MK, Chun-Li from Street Fighter or even Terry Bogard from KOF- if you had the decks of course… they are all very affordable unlike some of the other games we play.
There’s a lot of how to videos out there but the Prof always finds a way to make the clearest, friendliest, and professional quality ones around. Thank you and great job!
One thing that the professor got wrong is if you can't pay or decide not to pay the difference for a failed check not only do you discard the card but your turn also ends so you have to manage your resources so your not defenseless
Wow. I had no idea this made a come back. I played many many years ago when it was called UFS and it was Capcom vs SNK, with a few other fighting games joining the mix over time. I loved that game, and I'm incredibly excited to see it return with new life! Thank you so much, Professor, for bringing this to my attention!
Was in the same boat as you, haven’t played for a while (since Sabertooth owned the game) and jumped in a few months ago. It’s going through some initial growing pains with limited card pool, but the game is fun enough and the issues should subside over time.
@@CrazyAuron1 I managed an LGS when UFS first came out and I remember getting a call from a guy who worked at the UFS headquarters asking about selling the game at my shop. I immediately jumped and pushed the owner into agreeing to carrying the cards. I ran local tournaments, traveled to other shops around my state and other states running demos of the game. It was the first and only ccg I ever took seriously as an active player and supporter. (I only play magic casually). Long story short, I absolutely adored the game, but then it just sort of died in my area. Shops stopped carrying the cards, my boss closed down his shop, and things just ended. I had heard rumors that it was still going strong in Canada though. I'm just really happy to see it getting a resurgence, with a new name to as well.
@@Mirioman thank you for the insight. My perspective was clearly incorrect, as I saw it die a slow death in my local area. I appreciate you bringing new facts to me and educating me.
Such an amazing video to watch! Thank you for the how to play! I have a couple locals that saw this and reached out asking when our local nights are and wanting to give the game a shot!
As someone who has been playing this game since it was called "UFS", it's awesome to see a channel like yours put a spotlight on the game! Thank you so much for all you do!
Thank you so much for such a detail to the games mechanics. I have been playing Universus for 10 years and I haven't seen a video that explains it as well as this. Thank you for the exposure.
I remember buying this a bit ago at a few different stores and the gamestore said it was a very confusing game. I typically dont take advice and form my own opinion but boy they wasnt wrong lol. Thanks for the video but I am still super lost and i play a lot of more complex games. lol.
Somewhat bizarrely, the original legacy banlist from UFS was 'lost' and the format was simply decided to be unsupported in any form. Then again, a lot of early UFS cards were borked in half in comparison to what we have now. I remember the first two years gave Auckland, New Zealand the nickname 'home of the rush' as we were building our own terrifying metagame where it was rare for games to get past turn 2. Maybe it's for the best that some of those cards are just gone now outside of casual play. Look up 'Tycho, Evil Genius' from the Penny Arcade set or 'Blood runs true' from Samurai Showdown for some extreme examples of utter nonsense.
Cards are totally compatible too. I was playing Jet from Cowboy Bebop and had Mortal Kombat Scorpion attacks and foundations in my deck. It's really fun!
Delighted to see the prof mentioning this game. I've been trying to get people into Universus since Mortal Kombat and this video explains the game fairly well
So, a box opening perhaps at some point? Maybe an attempt at some deck construction and play against another person? I love your videos, and love seeing you in commander games and such. Hopefully you do more with this, but I know you are primarily a Magic the Gathering channel.
I like these tutorials for other game systems. If you can, please look into doing one for the Final Fantasy TCG. It is a wonderful game that deserves more attention.
Really appreciate the video, got roped into this when the new Cowboy Bebop decks came out. But uh... they didn't come with instructions so there's still things we're having trouble figuring it out. I know "Form" is when you play something in the Combat Step (At least I think that's what it is...) but what does the "remove" keyword mean? It's on all kinds of cards, but none of them actually spell it out. Appreciate if anyone could clarify this for me, loving the game otherwise ^.^
When a card says remove: it’s the cost to use the enhance,response. To play Welcome to space land bottom enhance. You will play the card (make a check and pass the check)and then send it to the removed from game pile then use the effect.
