Yugi has the millenium puzzle Judai has Yubel Yusei has the crimson dragon Yuma has astral and the shining draw Yuya can invent new summoning methods Meanwhile, Yusaku is REALLY good at yu-gi-oh.
@@anotherjason Unlike the other cases of manipulating the draw or creating/pullling a card outside the deck/extra deck, it is a Skill that also has to follow rules (need to have Lp 1000 or below and can only use it once; or in the case of Neo Storm Access it is a extension of it to use immediatly under more specific circunsrances) and his opponents have Skills of their own, which balance this. Heck, it is not even exclusive to im since Revolver and Bohman also use it (the latter even using it even in Master Duels). The only case it where it usage don't follow the Speed Duel format is during the final duel vs Bohman, where the Ignises(?) create Firewall Darkfluid for him. I don't think this one is bad thugh since Bohman was abusing cheating his Skill multiple times and Yusaku still neede to do a complex play to summon darkfluid with number of counters needed to win. EDIT: While Storm Access, with Ai help, could give Playmaker a new card each duel, it could count as a downside when one consider Ai could just get him the new mosnter outside duels and leave Playmaker skill slot to something more useful. Besides that and being moral/emotional support, Ai had no futher uses in winning duels overall while being Yusaku partner. During Season 1 and 2 Yusaku is the smarter one of the duo and Ai advices either were redudant, pointing out the obvious, or, in at least one occasion, detrimental. Besides the above example in master duel, his only other helpful action for the duel was preventing Playmaker of falling in his 3rd duel vs Revolver.
😂 that’s facts lmao Accesscode talker ability can’t be negated or responded to so it’s a wrap and also Playmaker had a hand to make Accesscode every duel
@@cameraredeye3115 That was probably his only real "out" to Accesscode Talker too, unless he had access to something like BLS - EotB and the requisite monsters to banish in his GY so that he could then use BLS - EotB's effect to banish Accesscode Talker straight from the field. The only other potential answer I can think of that Yami Yugi may have had would have been to draw Palladium Oracle Mahad (and thus Special Summon it immediately via it's effect) and have a way to buff it's ATK _just_ enough (Accesscode Talker is Dark Attribute, so Mahad's ATK would jump to 5,000 upon entering battle with Accesscode Talker) to beat over Accesscode Talker's 5,600 ATK in battle (and even then, Accesscode could probably just get rid of Mahad with it's effect before Mahad could actually destroy Accesscode Talker). Accesscode Talker is just plain OP compared to the other protagonist's decks, as it's nigh impossible for any of their decks to properly deal with it.
@@heavydonkeykong5190 Meanwhile Atem just takes the loss in stride and compliments Yusaku's skills, maybe even remarking that the future is in good hands with someone like Yusaku around. :P
Seconds later, Kaiba is rushing out to his custom Blue-eyes Jet, rambling something at the staff about some 3rd rate duelist and then blasting off without any context.
And little Yugi would probably just be really happy to have had such a close duel with Yuma and tried to improve his own deck in the hopes of one day having a rematch. Yugi is so humble that taking a loss like that very likely wouldn't faze him at all. Would have been cool to see how Yugi's friends reacted to the duel and seeing Yugi actually get outplayed like that and losing by such a narrow margin. I could definitely see Joey being both shocked that Yugi lost and impressed by Yuma's deck and praising him for besting Yugi....and then Joey would probably challenge Yuma himself just for the thrill of facing someone who could legitimately compete with _Yugi_ of all people.
1. I can test my skills against the other true best duellist in history. 2. So I can see how far I came as a duellist. 3. It’s a honour to duellist against you all and I hope we can duellist again in the future. Don’t take it seriously it’s just a fun way of saying it
I wonder how the AI would have handled “Link” monsters if Konami never caved into the demands of a bunch of whiny YuGiOh players and stuck to the Vrans rules they originally set for the game to use.
Yusaku winning isn't a surprise, his deck is the most meta out of all the decks here. My biggest surprise was Yuma losing so quickly in the semi-finals. I thought he would have made it to the finals or even put up a fight against Yusaku. RIP Yuma :( Great video Dylan! Can't wait to see more!
Great idea Dylan I would love to see a tournament with the Rivals Seto Kaiba (DM) Zane Truesdale (GX) Chazz Princeton (GX) Jack Atlas (5Ds) Kite Tenjo (Zexal) Shark (Zexal) Declan (Arc-V) Revolver (VRAINS)
Don't forget the Villains! A Villains tournament could be a great "finale" Tournament too with how high the total number of Villains actually is. You could even throw in the movie villains like Anubis & Paradox.
Minor issue I have with the editing: The Master Duel preview at 0:31 with the Phantom Knights visible spoiled/killed the anticipation of spinning the wheel
Oh, that could be another good one! Main Heroine/Love Interest Tournament! Could include characters like Tea, Akiza, Blue Angel, Yuzu, etc. Would also force Tea to try and defend her canon undefeated record (which would likely be broken once she came up against someone like Akiza).
Not just the Rivals. The Best Friends, and Villains could be fun too. Villains in particular could be a *_BIG_* tournament with now many villains there actually are. Could probably even do a multi-part tournament for the villains, like a "Duel Monsters" Tournament with all of Yugi & Atem's villains, then a GX villain tournament, a 5Ds villain tournament, and so on, and then the winners of each of those tournaments (or the 8 Villains who performed the "best" overall) would go on to face the villains of the other seasons in an entirely separate tournament to determine which villain had the best deck of them all. I could even see an "Archetype" tournament working where you could take some of the most popular Archetypes (Despia, Bystial, Branded, Kashtira, Tearlaments, Diabellstar, Swordsoul, Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes, Infernity, etc.) duking it out to see which came out on top....though this particular type of tournament could benefit from each archetype facing each other once each, and then which ever Archetype has the most total wins would be crowned "champion", and in the event of a tie, then there could be "tiebreaker" duels. This way Archetypes that happen to be unfairly one-sided won't result in an otherwise great Archetype just getting eliminated outright without getting to go up against the other archetypes.
the idea is cool, but i think that limiting to only doing core cast within their main show, with the latest/best version of what their deck would be nowadays would be better. that would make the result less obvious
@@toxictoad6266 by limiting to main show i mean you make DM tournament, you take core cast, you give them the best nowadays versions of their decks, and you do the same for GX 5D's Zexal Arc-V and Vrains
@@LuisKiller73 True. Particularly since little Yugi technically has his own Archetype now via the "Gold Sarcophagus" archetype, it has most/all of little Yugi's signature cards (Silent Swordsman, Silent Magician, Gandora, etc.) as part of the same Archetype. ....Though that would admittedly require waiting for the Gold Sarcophagus archetype to come to Master Duel first. But that could be a good reason to revisit this particular Tournament at some point in the future and give the protagonists a chance to "redeem themselves", particularly if they performed poorly in this Tournament. Alternatively, if he could find someone else familiar with each of the Decks, he could instead run the duels with him playing one and another person playing the other so that the decks are played more "optimally" than the AI can play them, as I'd expect a human player to make smarter plays than an AI would. Another possibility could be a tournament to see if the main characters like Yugi, Atem, & Kaiba would be able to handle more modern Archetypes (like seeing if a "modern" Kaiba deck could handle a Fallen of Albaz focused deck, or if Albaz would just tear Kaiba apart).
The only reason I don't like that idea is because it just becomes, "modernized archetype vs modernized archetype" and it loses the feel of being a character duel. I've never been able to enjoy any of the "character but with updated deck" duel videos uploaded by others because of that.
That's such a fun concept. So many possibilties like Rivale battle, partner battle, antagonist battle or maybe female lead battle? Would be interesting for sure!
This was such a fun video, and the idea behind it was great! That Yuma vs Yugi was crazy!! Yusaku just steamrolled the competition, there was no stopping the maker of plays 😂
Omg the straightforward wins are hilarious to watch, Yusaku straight-up slaughtered everyone and rip Yusei for that play. Although, that play with Yugi was pretty crazy with gandorra I'd love to see more of this with rivals, girls, or best friends, great video man!! :)
There are 3 reasons why Playmaker won this tournament and would if this actually took place in a cross-over film or anime 1) He is solely focused on the duelling and not entertaining others (sorry Yuya) 2) He doesn’t preach about Heart Of The Cards every few minute (sorry Atem) 3) While he may feel the flow , he doesn’t have to voice it every few minutes (Sorry Yuma) Playmaker focuses on the game 😃😃 Great video and a fun watch😃😃 😃😃😃
The moment I saw the bracket I immediately knew how the tourney was going to go, and I'm glad to see that my prediction was correct! Just goes to show that Speed Duels are fast paced and the current state of YuGiOh is too much for older decks to handle! 🤣🤣🤣I would love to see the same thing again but with modern support for all the decks not just cards they played in the anime, or maybe just some manga card additions.
The early anime decks are just bad, even for their time The newer the show, the more closely do the decks represent their current metas, for example yuma making a rank 4 and setting 2 is similar to dino rabbit making laggia/dolkka and setting 2, yusei summoning speed warrior isn't even close to being similar to teledad, jaden summoning clayman isn't similar to dad return, you get the point
This tournament did showcase that the decks in later animes got powercreeped by a lot. Could be fun to see one for rivals, best friends and female protagonists aswell. If you do a girl tournament you probably have to replace Téa with Mai and Tori with Rio.
Not really Atem didn’t seem to have any of his broken anime cards. On edo pro it’s easy to summon Beyond first turn or Atem to summon a god etc. The decks weren’t build correctly.
We need to see this for other tropes (Main Rival, Main Girl, Main Antagonist, Best Friend etc). Love seeing Dylan so hyped - also I can see Dylan being a good sport commentator lol. As if he didnt do this one of the other boys to play off each other. Also as much as I loved Yuto, I think Astral or Ai should’ve been the 8th duellist as they were partners with their series protagonist from the beginning.
Yusaku probably has the closest to a "meta" deck of protagonist lmfao. Though I think people underestimate Yuma for not only his skill but how disgustingly broken number cards are because of that little effect on the top saying "Can only be destroyed by a card with "number" in it's name" in thr anime lore. I really want to see more of these though. heroines and rivals are obvious but Best friend's and final villains would be fire as well. Era duels sound fun but I would also like to see then with modernized decks. Like Jounouchi with more modern Red-eyes stuff and Judai with the insane E.HERO's and support that came after his era.
This tournament pretty succinctly shows off the concept of power creep lol. Yusaku's accesscode otk vs Yami Yugi from an anime where summoning a 3k vanilla monster before turn 5 was the peak of skill
This would be better with modernized decks for the earlier protags. The new Stardust Support for Yusei, a straight Dark Magician deck for Yami, and an Omni-Masked Hero deck for Jaden.
Yuma's part in this tournament felt 100% like Zexal. They go up against Yugi, who holds the millenium puzzle. Astral senses an interesting type of danger while inside Yuma's key, appears, and helps Yuma pull off that protagonist win because he thought there might be a potential number or a potential danger if they lost to Yugi. Then he faces Playmaker who has absolutely no special power, just badass dueling skills, so Astral is like well if Yuma loses there's no harm, so I'll just let him duel by himself, and he just plays a single monster in defense mode and then gets destroyed on his opponent's first turn just as normal like so many times during the first season of Zexal against his classmates lol
Always wondered if they made this kind of tournament what would happen, not suprised that the best link 4 monster dominated the game, maybe in the future make the same thing but with updated cards for older protags, would be fun to see. Rivals tourney when?
Also, what would've happened if Yuma used just his F0 Utopic Future monsters like he did in his ceremonial duel against Astral and not use Utopia monsters. Could that probably make a difference to move up and make it to the finals?
Now you should do a run back with all their newer support (prioritized around their Ace obviously because Yugi has like 4 separate archetypes that are now their own decks) and see who wins that when it's actually at least somewhat fair as the OG trilogy characters never stood a chance against the latter 3 characters with this rule set and have them then duel against the winner of this one Yugi- Probably Gadgets with Gandora thrown in Atem-Dark Magician Jaden-EHeroes NeoSpacians Yusei-Stardust/Synchro Warriors Yuma-Onomatopia with a heavy Utopia Extra Deck Yuya-Full power Odd-Eyes Yusaku-Code Talkers Other than that the obvious choices would be the standard from each series rival, main girl, final villain, ect.
Loved the idea, but I would advice to give the older characters a modernized version of the decks, it's kind of a "What? The newer characters beat out the older one with the newest winning the whole thing? I could have never seen this coming" kind of thing.
@dudono1744 like even Yugi who has the hack of drawing the card thta keeps him in duels drew trash at times yet playmaker gets game winning monsters every time
Would love to see more of these Rival - Kaiba, Chazz, Aster, Jack, Kite, Declan, Revolver (Kalin or Zane) Best Friend - Joey, Syrus, Jesse, Akiza, Crow, Shark, Gong, Soulburner Girls - Tea, Mai, Alexis, Akiza, Tori, Rio, Yuzu, Aoi Villains 1 - Pegasus, Kagemaru, Jack, Vetrix, Dr.Faker, Sora, Revolver (Weevil, Camula, Quattro or Spectre) Villains 2 - Marik, Sartorious, Rex Goodwin, Roman Goodwin, Vector, Dennis, Jean Michel Roget, George Gore (Best option as all others haven't had their decks released) Villains 3 - Bakura Yubel, Aporia, Zone, Nasch, Yuri, Z-arc, Ai
After the finals you should take the winners from all and do another Protagonist Rival Girl character Main antagonist Secondary antagonist Best friend Can’t think of another two but you get it
This would be pretty cool to do again with some of the villains. The main villains might be kinda tough since they have impractical decks (like zone or Zarc) but maybe: Marik, yubel, Aporia, Vector, Yuri, Revolver and then leave the last 2 slots for favorites?
This is a great concept for a video, I’d love to see a version where the mc’s get a modernized version of theyre decks, mixing meta staples as well as their signature cards!
I really hoped that Yusei win, but... it's ok, Yusaku winning in the end is ok. But look at this - none of the protagonists defeat person, who is in later series - Yugi, Yami and Judai (and Yuto, but he just had to ;) ) lost in the first duel, then Yuma and Yusei lost and then Yuya was defeated. You just see how evolution and using newest mechanics give you advantage from the beginning.
