I am well aware. I've wasted enough of my life watching Yu-Gi-Oh. xDView attachment 564637
LostHaven You totally can practise drawing in the YGO-verse, it's been a thing since the end of the original series. For a list of rigged draws:
-Atem wills cards to the top of his deck.
-Taira(Damon) was so bad at drawing he retreated into Duel Academy's forest to practise his drawing skills until he could draw whatever the hell he wanted at will. He uses this power to steal really good sandwiches from a ballot.
-In GX there's a shot of Sho(Syrus), Judai(Jaden), Daichi(Bastion) and Hayato(Chumley) practising their draws.
-In 5D's, if the crimson dragon says "yeah you need help" he wills you a Majestic Dragon to the top of your deck.
-In ZeXal, there's literally a magic power called the "Shining Draw" where a duelists wills a card into existence.
-Similarly, the "Barian's Chaos Draw" does this as well, but for the bad guys.
-In Arc-V, Shuzo practises with a huge-ass card drawer.
When an opponent stacks their deck, it's seen as suspicious, sure, but those guys do it to offset the fact they're not all that good at the game, such as Rikuo(Scorch) and Kaio(Chills) from ZeXal.
The perfect example of skill > luck is Yuma's second duel with Shark, where Yuma uses his Number card and still gets punk'd by shark because he doesn't care to think for 5 seconds before making his plays. Astral even pointed out he misplayed.
Luck really isn't a factor in YGO unless you're straight-up using dicerolls and coinflips, and Saiou(Sartorious) managed to say "Fuck that" to even that concept in GX and began to decide his own fate once he got high-jacked on that sweet, sweet villain power. For a 'fuck you' to dicerolls, Bohman in Vrains keeps rigging his dice with other card effects to overturn any negative result he might experience, which is, again, not played up as him having to be all that luck to have those cards. YGO characters, even the filler ones, always get what they want, when they want it. It's like 1 in a million that they don't, and if they do, the show even points out how rare that is, or makes fun of the person's deckbuilding ability. Suspension of disbelief, people.
See, he'd meant to be that one random guy who's like 'So, am I the only one who thinks something is seriously wrong here?'.
Plus I'm literally deciding his draws with rng so he's never going to experience mc top deck shenanigans. Imagine an abridged character, thrown into the official plot.
I like that method. I'm trying to find a balance when it comes to 'my' draws.
If I'm honest, all I can really do is search the cards I need, Fusion summon, recycle the cards (if possible) and then do it again. It's a bit bare bones, if I'm honest, but when all the main deck monsters I have don't exceed 1700 ATK, I don't really have much of a choice.
Yeah but I take massive issue with it, is the problem
Your whole character is a walking immersion breaker. If you're supposed to be the one sane person in an insane world, well, you just come off as the insane guy
Abridged series work because *everyone* is making fun of *everything.* One guy not playing by the rules is, well... it comes across as jarring, more than anything else.
Even then, there's nothing magic about Taira's draws, and characters often comment on people who are just *that* good at drawing (Such as Judai, or Yuma, even if Yuma fucks it up half the time). Even Lightning in Vrains got a sideway "He's just too good of a drawer..." from Ai in the Blood Shepherd duel once he re-drew Judgement Arrows the turn after it went back to the deck.
It's a mix of magic and not, sure, but it's still a fact that it's seen as a skill in-universe rather than luck because, well... it is. Most of the times magic is involved it's to create a card that wasn't in the deck to begin with. It's good and all to poke fun at everything, but it's really not endearing when you're the only one doing it.
I will take a closer look at those duels and see what I can salvage. Here's hoping I get something out of that.Just watch how Sora duels in Arc-V and go from there.
I just wanted to have a bit of fun... ;-; Though, I'm quite good at pissing people off unintentionally. If you have a problem with my character, I will remake it.
If you don't like me, I will leave. Just tell me what ya want, and we'll both spare the effort of furious typing, yeah?
Yeah, sure. I'll tone down the abridged. If it's really annoying, I'll just skedaddle. Rather make the rp more enjoyable for everyone, right? ^^If you think I'm angry then I'll have you know that you're not even remotely in my top 3 worst YGO RPers. Besides, I'm not the one you should be answering to; the GM accepted your character, not me.
I irk myself on a lot of the stuff you do, but at worst I can just avoid interacting with your character entirely when I need to. I'd really rather you'd not act like this was an abridged series, but I can't stop you either.
By the way, your way of talking feels really condescending... when I read your writing, I imagine this:
OK, so I took a quick dig through a few duels and the whole Frightfur/Fluffal archetypes and found out that Frightfur March exists.I will take a closer look at those duels and see what I can salvage. Here's hoping I get something out of that.
Ah, I wasn't really recommending cards. You can tell a lot from a duelist by how they use their cards.OK, so I took a quick dig through a few duels and the whole Frightfur/Fluffal archetypes and found out that Frightfur March exists.
I did look at a few other cards he used, of course, but, uh. Here are some others I considered and/or found.
Edge Imp Tomahawk - No thanks, I think Frightfuloid fills the 'wild card' Edge Imp better (perks of being treated as a Frightfur anywhere makes for easy Frightfur Fusion)!Frightfur Sanctuary - Tried it a few times, but I hardly ever get Chimera out in practice. It's not bad, don't get me wrong, but it hardly means anything as that's really the only major synergy (a few others being Sabres, Chain, Wings, Vendor and Frightfuloid). I'm good, thanks.Fluffal Octopus - Probably a good idea. Restoring banished cards is a nice thing, and all you gotta do is use this thing as a material. Heavily considering adding this alongside Frightfur March.Fluffal Leo - Ehhh... Why is this underwhelming? I used it for a time, but didn't find it to be too good. Which is a shame, too. This is at least the simplest card across the whole darn archetype, so maybe that's why, but... Come on, it can be so much better than this.Fluffal Crane - Maaaybe a good idea? I don't know about this one, as I already have searching abilities pretty much all through my deck and as much summoning as needed. I'm not sure about this one.Patchwork Fluffal - *reads effect* ...Do I 'want' this? I already have King of the Swamp, which does a similar job... 'And' lets me get Polymerization... (Thoughts?)
I'm not sure what to do, but hey. I did take a dig. Recommendations, maybe?

I'm not sure what to do, but hey. I did take a dig. Recommendations, maybe?
Yeah, about that... I looked into that one as well, and I'm not too fond of it. So, pass.Frightfur Dangerous Nightmary.
it's ocg exclusive
I just like the design.Yeah, about that... I looked into that one as well, and I'm not too fond of it. So, pass.
I see... So, playing to fit the theme itself? It's an interesting thought, I'm not going to lie. I mean, at the end of the day we all have different styles, so we can't really make 'everyone' happy, but - hm. I should really look into this whole 'deception' thing, seeing as that's the key concept overall. We'll see what happens when we get there, eh?Ah, I wasn't really recommending cards. You can tell a lot from a duelist by how they use their cards.
Take Sora's duels against Yuya and Kurosaki, for example.
Sora was straight-up goofing around for the first part of his duel against Yuya. He didn't even bother really going for Action cards and only put his weak fluffals on the field so he baited Yuya into summoning his strongest monster. Then Sora shows that, hello, his deck isn't about a load of weak monsters and he fusion summons Scissor bear, taking away Yuya's monsters one by one through its effect after having finally gotten serious.
In his duel against Kurosaki, something similar happens. Sora doesn't really care all that much, up until Kurosaki busts out his Rise Falcon. Once Sora took a knock, he smiles and brings out a slightly stronger monster, but Kurosaki keeps using spells and traps to block off anything Sora does. Sora gets frustrated, summons Chain Sheep to prevent Kurosaki from activating spells and traps, then Kurosaki ranks up his destroyed monster. Saying enough is enough, Sora *steals* the monster. Then Kurosaki just takes it back.
Having learned what his deck is all about, once he duels Kurosaki again, he actually beats him off-screen (albeit a close victory), probably because he didn't start off goofing around and actually took precautions against Kurosaki's heavy Spell/Trap reliant style of dueling.
Fluffals' entire thematic is deception, having an intially cutesy appearance before fusing into monstrosities. Making your opponent feel comfortable, then fighting back once you know their style suits that deck pretty well from an anime point of view.

To be honest, that's the whole reason I put one with the other. XDtwo-faced, just like your trap
At some point, I'm probably going to get my character to play a real deck. Only after seeing serious shit.To be honest, that's the whole reason I put one with the other. XD
