Its a download online dueling site correct? Like Yugioh TDONE.

@ Kit and John

What's Pendulum Summoning? They keep adding new summons I see, but Pendulum summoning?

It's the newest way of summoning monsters in Arc-V. You need two Pendulum monsters in order to pull it off and it allows you to summon monsters ranking from 2 stars to seven all at once.

Uh...I think I'd better step in. Pendulum summoning actually isn't just for level 2 to 7 monsters. Every pendulum monster has different pendulum scales, ranging from 0 to 13...unfortunately there's a scale 13. Any monster with levels in between the pendulum scale numbers can be basically special summoned for free from the extra deck if it's FACE UP, so in other words only pendulum monsters since that's where they're sent if destroyed, or from the hand. So, if you have a scale 3 and a scale 5, you can only pendulum summon level 4 monsters. Make sense? Also, most pendulum monsters have effects that can be activated from the pendulum zone, making them almost like continuous spells or continuous traps in that sense.

Hey, cut me some slack, I'm only like episode 9 or 10 of this show. XD That's pretty much all I've seen so far, sooo-

Oh no, it's fine, I sort of just wanted to clear things up. >.> I didn't mean to sound rude. o-o"

Nah, you weren't. I was just joking around with you dude. It's all good. ^^

 

[The Silent Z]

Ok hold up....... I'm a old school duelist so allow me a moment to place this in my own words to see if I got you correctly. *Feels old*

Example:

I've got a level 6 or Scale (?) monster on the field and I've got a level/scale 4 monster on the field..... I can Pendulum summon a level or scale 5 dude for free from my extra deck. So basically a new way of summoning extra deck monsters, then?

If I'm making sense in my repeat and double checking. Haha

 

[The Silent Z]

While also Pendulum or some have Crystal beast like effects with the spell and trap thing, right?

Hmm...ok let me work this out for you. It's NOT like crystal beasts where they become spell and trap zone things, no. They go the pendulum zone when put into play any way other than summoning... So basically they can be automatically played as spells/traps sort of but in a SEPERATE zone. They have separate effects for the pendulum zone AND monster zone (Or at least most do). And to explain, let me give you an example. I've got a scale 0 and a scale 13 on the field in the pendulum zones. I can now special summon anything between level 1 and level 12 from my hand, such as Obelisk the Tormentor for a hilarious example, or from the extra deck IF it's face up. The only cards that can ever be face up in the extra deck are pendulum monsters, which when destroyed, tributed, used as fusion materials, or used as synchro materials are put face up in the extra deck. However, if they're used as XYZ materials and detached/the XYZ monster is destroyed they are sent to the grave, not face up to the extra deck.

 

[Thesmashbro]

While your at it, I recommend watching "A certain Magical Index" if you have time.

I couldn't stand the loli fanservice. I ended up watching Blue Exorcist.

 

[Silvana]

Well I don't know a lot about Pendulum monsters either besides that its broken.

PENDULUM MONSTERS AREN'T BROKEN. Whoops, got a bit carried away there. What I mean to say is in the pendulum zone ANY spell and trap removal can destroy them. And breaking any ONE pendulum scale prevents your opponent from pendulum summoning. So, if you MST your opponents pendulum monster the moment they activate it BAM, their entire strategy crumbles. Also, all monsters pendulum summoned count as 1 special summon, so any special summon negation hits ALL of them. There are other huge downsides, such as needing 2 specific cards and not being able to freely switch out cards in the pendulum zone meaning you can end up getting stuck with HORRIBLE scales by accident if you panic and make a bad move.

I think I gotcha now. Though why they needed more zones I'm still curious, sort of. But gotcha and thanks

 

[Silvana]

Thats if your opponent can affect your pendulum scale. In my opinion, its still broken because you can pull out powerful cards that could help prevent other cards that could potentially hurt your pendulum zone.

 

[Kit-Kat]

If you think about it, anything in Yu-Gi-Oh could be considered 'broken' due to card effects and all that.

Spoiler: Really long ramble that may or may not be worth reading since I got sort of ranty a bit and am too lazy to fix it up.

...Not really. The reason being most GOOD pendulum monsters or high scale monsters are ARCHETYPE specific, meaning that they can only pendulum summon monsters in their own archetype, meaning most of the best protection, which is usually outside of their archetype, is cut off. Or, they have HUGE limitations like the only scale 13, which requires NO monsters on your side of the field to summon PERIOD. But I can see how it seems broken. Also what decks don't run twin twisters, mystical space typhoon, or really at least SOME sort of spell and trap removal? Plus any troll deck running Anti-Spell fragrance shuts them down completely since Pendulum Zone pendulum cards CAN'T be set at all. Although I can see how you'd think they're broken. As someone who's tried playing them I've QUICKLY realized that in fact they're a really, really hard to pull off and gimmicky mechanic though, unfortunately. Hilariously the only archetype that can pull it off properly and SEMI consistently even if screwed with is Qli, and they've been doomed to irrelevance by the banlist. All the broken pendulum cards or cards that combo with pendulums have been banned by an emergency ban list or the ban list after that which (at least in my opinion) was the move that doomed nearly the entirety of pendulum summoning to a niche few players and mostly irrelevance. Nearly nobody uses pendulum summoning anymore. It's all about those danged ABC decks, Aliester decks, Windwitch decks, Paleozoic Frog decks, Infernoid decks, Lightsworn decks, Zoodiac decks, those kinds of things, which use older mechanics...or debatably older mechanics I suppose. Older than pendulum summoning at least.

For proof of this just look at the ABC monsters...or the dang FROGS! GRAAAAARGH! They have the literal most infuriating boss monster in all of yugioh right now. Or infernoids for an actually slightly FAIR example.

 

[SolemnSongbird]

This ABOMINATION is every Yugioh player's worst nightmare...

 

[Kit-Kat]

I rest my case then.

 

[The Silent Z]

What the hell?! That's a monster Toadally awesome and it's two frogs on top of each other? Haha with a fruit too.

Hey Kit didn't you mention having yugioh Rp ideas for the old gen or GX or something? Out of curiosity and nolstalgia for them these days haha

 

[Kit-Kat]

Huh? Oh yeah! I do have some ideas I'm cooking up for some old school Yu-Gi-Oh fans.

 

[The Silent Z]

I thought I recalled that you did, but I could have been thinking of something else. A GX Rp just sounds increasingly epic to me lately especially since rewatching episodes on yugioh.com

But Awesome!

 

[Kit-Kat]

A GX-themed RP would be great. Might add that to the list of ideas I'm thinking about doing. But we'll see?

 

[Thesmashbro]

Exodia...

Aah! Exodia! It's not possible! No one's ever been able to summon him!

 

[Kit-Kat]

-snorts-

I'm dying. Help- XD

 

[The Silent Z]

Haha nice reference!

Not important just noticed I chose two deck themes with very similar play styles for Ty and JK's main deck. Unintentional but just noticed it. Haha
