LIGHTNINGLORD2'S PROFILE

The site owner spouts white supremacist garbage and the mods react to my concerns by laughing at me. I'm not going to put up with a toxic community like this anymore.

I was trying to find imbalances in the element system, but this actually looks solid.

Interesting how the girls must talk about other men.

[RMVX ACE] On Touch Encounters Route

Maybe you want to make a switch first that lets you save the party (average) level, so that can modify the behavior.

Generally, it works to make them run around at random, being halted by invisible events that only block their path. When your party level is high enough, those monsters should try to get away from you to save the trouble of them getting in the way. Other monster groups could actively chase the party.

It's time to duel! Yu-Gi-Oh Topic

I can't really say anything about Arc-V as I didn't get enough interest to actually watch it. Heard it's terrible.

DM is the worst season I watched - although the artistic freedom they had with the physical card game not existing was kinda great, Yami Yugi is a bland, one-dimensional character and I couldn't stand the egyptian gods at all.

HOWEVER, Waking the Dragons give Yami Yugi more depth, builds up a more unique relation between him and normal Yugi and the villains around the big bad are more than just cannon fodder. So it's pretty much a saving grace for the series.

GX is amazing - you have interesting cards, a good mix of fun and serious episodes and meaningful character development.

5Ds starts out amazing - there's a low-class duelist everyone treats as trash and who fights for his friends against the discrimination they're facing. As soon as he gets the Stardust Dragon back, though, the series takes a massive nosedive with all the BS around chosen ones and having to grab stronger and stronger cards.

ZeXaL is kinda so-bad-its-good to me - there's so much wrong with it, but I love it anyways.

It's time to duel! Yu-Gi-Oh Topic

"Yu-Gi-Oh! (遊☆戯☆王 Yū-Gi-Ō!?, lit. "Game King") is a Japanese manga series about gaming written and illustrated by Kazuki Takahashi. It was serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine between September 30, 1996 and March 8, 2004. The plot follows the story of a boy named Yugi Mutou, who solves the ancient Millennium Puzzle, and awakens a gambling alter-ego within his body that solves his conflicts using various games." -Wikipedia

This topic can be used to talk about the anime, the manga or the card game.

The original manga was relatively slice of life, where Yugi would use his Millenium Puzzle to awaken the pharao and challenge various crooks to Shadow Games that bring out the true nature of the people. Those were very diverse and absolutely nuts.

But what most know about the franchise is the game named Duel Monsters, which became the centerpoint as the mangaka was a huge fan of Magic: The Gathering. That game is based on egyptian summoners from 5000 years ago in-universe, which a rich guy named Maximillion Pegasus (Pegasus J. Crawford for undubbers) brought into a card game in the modern time.

The anime has 5 series so far - the original series (Often called DM) is about Yugi Muto facing various mysteries and dangers such as the Millenium Items, the Egyptian Gods and the Shadow Realm.

GX is the second series, where Jaden Yuki (Judai Yuki) enlists in the Duel Academy, where students learn about the game. He will also face the Sacred Beasts, the Society of Light and the Dark World.

5Ds is third in the list. Yusei Fudo lives in a world where the poor inhabitants of Satellite are being exploited by the high-class members of New Domino City, along with the mysteries around the Signers and the Ener-D. New in the series are Synchro Monsters, which are summoned with the cooperation of Tuner and Non-Tuner monsters. Also, Card games on Motorcycles.

ZeXaL is series number four, in which Yuma Tsukumo meets a mysterious being named Astral, who possesses high knowledge about dueling. This series brings Xyz monsters to the table, which are called by overlaying multiple monsters of the same level. Among them are the enigmatic Number cards, who can't be beaten by any monsters except the other Numbers.

Arc-V is the fifth and (as this moment) final series, starring Yuya Sakaki. The main feature in this are Action Duels, where duelists can move around on a field with their monsters and collect action cards. What is also new are Pendulum Monsters, which can be set on the sides of the field to summon lots of monsters at once. Furthermore, they return to the Extra Deck if destroyed, allowing you to Pendulum Summon them again.

Have fun and believe in the Heart of the Cards.

We Are! Talking about One Piece~

The Desert thingy was so numb and drawn out that I stopped watching for quite a while - then I remember the Davy Back Fight mini-arc (which was nice), the Sky Island arc (meh) and some stuff around the marine capital (dropped out again).

I don't know how much filler you can get rid of, but there's sure a lot of padding that can be cut (such as what I call the Nami Face, where the titular character just blankly stares ahead with her mouth open).

I guess I should group the episodes by arcs and highlight fillers so I can decide which arcs are worth watching myself, including a few milestones from arcs I skipped.

However, there is a thing about filler to be said is that it isn't necessarily bad - for instance, Yugioh's Waking the Dragons greatly exceeds the entire rest of DM in quality.

We Are! Talking about One Piece~

I just had the thought that I'd love to see a Dragonball Kai version of One Piece. And one for Naruto as well.

Can you do some map tilesets for VX Ace? It bothers me how little variety there is for maps that are not grasslands or caves.

[RM2K3] [Battle] Shallow and Deep?

Whoa, this topic title made me think it's about the depth in a battle system and what makes it deep/shallow, but it's about backgrounds instead.
