CaliggyJack 03.05.23	"Lol why is yugis dad so low lol skill issue" Stfu that arena is bullshite and y'all know it
ToSmokMuzyki 03.05.23	wtf no deck master s is the shit
GhandhiLion 03.05.23	I need to play that game.
nightbringer 03.05.23	Is this one of those Yu-Gi-Oh games that doesn't follow the tcg rules?
Mort. 03.05.23	this is a music website, not a ygo dueslists of the roses duelist ranking website
CaliggyJack 03.06.23	@ToS Bruh top 10 ain't bad
DaveyMonsoon 03.06.23	Lab Ruler is awful, one of the worst duels for speedruns that isn't Grandpa. Bakura also isn't that bad either, he's probably one of the easiest duels in the game. Sure, his low deck cost might be annoying but it's manageable if you build your deck right.
CaliggyJack 03.06.23	Hard disagree, but then again most low card limit duels piss me off. I can see lab ruler being shite for speedrun, but I just love navigating the map and his cards aren't op either.
Asdfp277 03.06.23	get field cards, guys
Asdfp277 03.06.23	and for grandpa, get wall shadow. it's literally that easy. there are cards that are immune to traps too, but they're weak
CaliggyJack 03.06.23	His exodias r still bs
Asdfp277 03.06.23	losing to him via exodia was hype af for me lmao
Demon of the Fall 03.06.23	how are you deciding on the ranking? Enjoyability of the duel I'd gather. Weird order therefore, but okay. Cool list regardless. I wish this was the 'standard' for Yu-Gi-Oh games, really enjoyed this one back in the day. I'm not interested in playing in the usual manner, give me that 7x7 board and a 'deck leader concept' any day > I mean they could've added more opponenets / a post-game, but given the limitations it was still a blast to play because I was a massive sad-act and liked collecting cards for my obscure deck concepts and thus was addicted to reincarnating my spares etc.
sonictheplumber 03.06.23	sacred cards bro
CaliggyJack 03.06.23	@demon yeah I based it off general enjoyability DoR is such a great game facts
Feather 03.06.23	Never played this but as a huge yugioh fan growing up, I would love to see a switch/Playstation port/download
Demon of the Fall 03.06.23	Definitely needs a port. In fact it should get a full remake with bonus content (new opponents / cards) and (possibly) online play.
Demon of the Fall 03.06.23	I’ve also played it more recently on a PS emulator with all the benefits, the mods to speed up gameplay / the ability to save mid-duel were both welcome
Asdfp277 03.06.23	it's somewhat slow at first, you might lose a couple of times but then it gets fun the music of DotR and Forbidden Memories is forever etched into my brain
Asdfp277 03.06.23	those are the only ones i've played, is sacred cards as good? what other ones are there that are good?
SaveBandit 03.06.23	The nostalgia just from reading the title lol. Haven't played that game in soooooo long but remember having a fucking blast with it.
DaveyMonsoon 03.06.23	"Definitely needs a port. In fact it should get a full remake with bonus content (new opponents / cards) and (possibly) online play." Anyone here should definitely check out the Redux mod if you haven't. It's probably the best mod for the game and almost makes it an entirely different game. You can get every single card now, there's new starter decks and all duels have been completely changed, among other things. It can get pretty challenging but it's also very rewarding. I don't think there will ever be a remake but Redux is still worth playing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_Aa2xC0Gig
Demon of the Fall 03.06.23	Oh wow, good tip 👍🏻... I’ll look into that
Feather 03.07.23	When you only have a work laptop, emulators aren't much of an option unfortunately :/
Asdfp277 03.07.23	there are emulators for android i think lol
Feather 03.07.23	I'm an iphone guy :/
Asdfp277 03.07.23	now ur just tryin to not have it available to u >:[
nightbringer 03.08.23	Boot Linux from USB
Demon of the Fall 03.08.23	playing on a phone just generally sounds like ass tbh, the screens are too small for a start... unless you hook it up to a telly or something, but that sounds cumbersome / inconvenient, perhaps? idk these things
nightbringer 03.08.23	I mean, phone screens are typically bigger than the screens of most historic handhelds. They're bigger than all Gameboy screens, bigger than any individual screen of the DS/3DS. Obviously, consoles like the PS2 weren't designed for handheld screens. But unlike PC games, they were designed to be played at a distance from a screen - the distance between couch and TV - so the UI and important details are quite visible. They tend to scale down to handheld size quite well imo. Obviously, using a touch screen is crap for most console games but that's where a clip-on controller comes in. @Feather - another option, if the problem is just not having permission to install apps on your work laptop, is just to run portable versions of emulators that do not require installation. E.g. you can slap a portable version of PCSX2 on a USB stick.
Demon of the Fall 03.08.23	yeah, I meant the size would be an issue due to games not being designed for the smaller screens. In terms of their actual physical size, modern phones aren't small (vs historical handheld gaming devices). Wouldn't the controls be a pain in the backside as well though? I was thinking of this also, but forgot to mention it.
Asdfp277 03.09.23	would depend on the game, some use a lot of buttons others don't. this one does though lol, but if u don't have a computer, well, a phone's an alternative !
