Bad sportsmanship is honestly the most frustrating thing about Yugioh or anything people are competing in. Maybe it's because I grew up playing football for rec and school teams that good sportsmanship is second nature to me. It's straight up disrespectful and toxic, it could also ruin someone's experience for the rest of the event. You don't have to shake their hand if you don't want too, but atleast acknowledge those games and your opponent in a respectful way, learn from the lose and move on. And same can be said for winning, don't be a jerk to them just because you won. Tell them good games, maybe compliment a few plays they made and move on. Sorry, the dude trying to stall for time and then not even shaking your hand afterwards just bothered me. I personally think you were fine trying to get them to hurry up with their plays, it is a competition, the end goal is to win the competition, and sometimes it also comes with protecting yourself from scrutiny, like someone slow playing for time. Which there is a rule in place to clearly says you can't stall for time. Just ask Triff from Trif Gaming about cowboy for game 😂
Hard being a good sport when you have the kind of players we have in our community. Slow players and stallers are the worst. Mystic mine players. Combo players that take super long to think about their plays before they take super long and take up all the time on the clock to do 1 combo. The gamestate is very toxic right now I went to regionals and did not enjoy myself at all. Almost all of my games went to a tie. Because of the 40 minute time rules. If you don't win the first 2 matches game 3 is almost unplayable because of the time rules.
@@kyonsenzu8799 I get what your saying, there are a good amount of degenerate players in the game that utilize the most frustrating strategies and tactics. But to be completely honest, there will always be players like that no matter what state the game is in. Even back in the early days of yugioh, there was degenerate players. I don't know if you've played back then, but it was infuriating to get locked under Gravity Bind or Level Limit Area-B. But regardless of how upset you get at how the game went, that is still another living being sitting across the table. Even if their face just asks to be punched, you gotta be the better person and tell them good game. Carrying that negativity from a bad experience will eat away at you over time, like that tournament you played where every game went to time. You gotta let that tournament go because it's in the past and you can't change how it went. But you can move on and possibly learn something from that horrible experience. You can't let your love for the game fade because of degenerate players, because the moment you start being unsporting is the moment you begin to hate the game. Now I rambled on for far to long, I blame the blunt I'm smoking. But be the better player and spread the positivity then maybe one day the majority of community won't be toxic
I also went to a regional, the same regional the guy cheated on stream, i went 1-1-4 drop and then got covid. Still a great experience tho, I'm so excited for the others later this spring
@@kyonsenzu8799 Of course he is. Anyone that isn't vaccinated can't attend Yugioh events (they're also Trump supporters and they're too dumb to play this game lol).
Man cali you should do more of these vlog-type videos with TJ. They’re really entertaining to watch and I was literally glued to the screen with your vibe that you gave off. Shame you couldn’t win more games but that’s ok sportsmanship is what matters! :D
Just want to say that your videos are stunning. I don't even care that much about Yu-Gi-Oh. I just like the quality and effort you put in. The passion you have is inspiring and it's reflected in your videos.
Lmaooo wholesome vlog, especially the last few minutes. Sabrina MVP for recording an amazing vlog and TJ for bringing in the spicyness to your vids! Love to see the dynamic duo between you and TJ!
Man, ive been out of the TCG for around 5 years, but due to both finding this channel and Master Duel, ive found my inspiration to play the game again. Thanks Cali!
Its my dream to go a big event and meet up with some of my favorite Yugitubers like TheCaliEffect! Seeing as how I’ve never been to a Regionals or YCS, but I hope I get to meet you and play against you some day in one of those types of tournaments Big Dawg!
@@StupidWeb dang I’m so sorry to hear that fam with yugioh being a community it sucks that you guys can’t gather for a regional to enjoy the game together. Do you guys at least have locals?
@@blueoctober555 yeah, but I just recently moved to a really small town where there's no yugioh community period. However in a few months I'm moving to one of the bigger Yugioh communities in Australia
I love you're content cali. Always entertaining, always educational, always positive, always under appreciated. Thanks for being here all of these years.
Initially I was weirded out by the new dude (forgot his name rn) you brought in your other video and judged him prematurely, but he's grown on me since then. Really polite and funny, and I also really enjoy the dynamic of your friendship playing out on screen. It'd be cool to see him in more of your content in some form.
Good vlog cali , x2 can most definitely get they invite them players b.s you. Also don't feel bad about rushing dude because he was stalling on purpose and was only mad he lost to your rogue deck. Nevertheless big dog you did good also against floowandereeze if you ash their normal summon they typically end their turn due to them not having anymore plays.
I love your videos man. I just got last place in my local (that i went actually confident about my deck); And i was actually not feeling yugioh this past week(i left the event actually sad); then my number 1 RU-vidr makes a vlog about similar situation, but having lots of fun; reminded me why i started playing yugioh in the first place. And if all players went with the same mindset, would prevent situations like that about the time. Can u make a video about Eldlich Albaz Invoked/Despia ( The one u think is better and why...)
I went to the event in Florida and stayed until March 7. It was a mixed bag - I had fun in the first few matches cause they weren’t all meta (Synchro Wind, Sacred Beasts), but lost more so due to going to time whenever we’d start game 3 (Match 1 my opponent burned me for 500 lp in the last 10 seconds). I want to try to attend another cause I did enjoy myself for the most part
Your advice about big brain decks exhausting you during long events is so true! Or at least that’s what I tell myself so I don’t feel bad playing unga bunga decks 😅
I feel you about the game where your opponent was stalling for time. It's not as bad as straight-up shuffle cheating, but it's pretty close. It's scummy how people will do anything for a win or draw. Have some respect for your fellow players and respect for the game. The cherry on top was that he wouldn't shake your hand. He knew he got got. But you did make the right call and even tried to be nice to the player, but he wanted nothing to do with you lol.
Congratulation on your top dawg! Saw your name in the standings at the end! Nah, you played cards to win and you played well! When you top the next event make sure to send me your list for the Meta Analysis videos we're starting to do!
I'm in the same boat. I call people out when they're taking their time and I know their combo lines for a minute. I play the game for experiences not bull
Losing or winning in time is down right shitty and I don’t care who you are, anyone in the right mind cannot disagree. I would rather spend the time and play out the duel all the way and get the full potential of each deck felt.
I don’t know what it was about this event that all the Vegas locals opened HORRIBLE. I always top with drytrons and I couldn’t open a damn name throughout 6 rounds ! The event was for 8 but I dropped after the 6th it was ridiculous
It’s really nice they’re opening up yugioh tournaments again!!! Even though I’ve never played yugioh it’s fun watching games 😁 Also what is exactly a razors edge burn deck? And how epic is it? Yugioh is a pretty cool game maybe one day I’ll play 😊😁🤩
Cali I went to that even I wish I would've met you😭😭😭 I really wish honestly dawg, I'm heading to the Ohio meet and I really wanna see you but I feel like I'll see you sooner or later, I hope you reply I would melt king🥰❤
My thing is Stalling for time, is part of the game but, if you honestly got no plays and your doing nonsense like; checking graveyards, all of sudden need to read cards, asking random questions, and holding the game up in phases for no reason at all is scummy behavior in my opinion, and ruins the experience.
That's awesome cali staying true to the fans stay up my dude ...another great video ....Is it possible if u have a p.o box , can I mail you my darkagician Girl mat 2 sign? It would men alot I'll pay the shipping both ways ??
As for me personally I think the end of match rules need to be changed I know konami is a business and want to save money on judges I am working on a degree for business admin, so I get that, but these 40 min rules need to be fixed as someone who plays mtg semi-comp when I have time to do, so I am a big on their rules the rules are as follows best of 3 of course 50-min rounds 5 turns total after time is called but can be cut to "4" turns player being the turn 0 then go 1 then 2 then turn 3 then that way its fair if there is no winner after the turns that game ends in a draw now if its 1-1 in games meaning its game 3 at the time of the end of match running out the player with the lowest life loses the game and thus the match I know it seems kind of complicated to non-mtg players but not one person I have played against has ever got salty against me as in MTG the fate of the match is taken out of the hands of time and placed in your hands to get the win just my thoughts on the matter
Wear your mask, even cloth mask are fine which dont work at all, also its ok to touch all over each others dice, cards, tables, doors, bathroom, but you know, itll be all right since you got a mask on.
