I know nowadays react content is usually low effort and lazy but Jesse does it the right way in which he credits and shoutouts the original persons video and their channel. Also he has ACTUAL insight and commentary which makes it TRANSFORMATIVE
@@aure0521that’s how it should be done where there’s analysis and insight and going a step further and crediting and shouting out the original creator and video.
It's funny how most people don't even realize this but Jesse is the God of making the best deck in formats people think deck building is not as important as gameplay and he consistently proves to them that there are no formats in which deck building is not the superior skill. One of the few people I would truly consider my equivalent or better at deck building ofc he is much much better than me at gameplay as well being a proplayer.
42:11 You're right, Rafael Jose(Zeeta) is the other player that attended 3 worlds divisions , tcg in 2017, duel links in 2018 and 2019, master duel in 2023 with Rafael Reich and Pedro Gontow(JudeuYgo)
Fun Fact: I beat Ryan Yu at the NAWCQ 2019. We played in round 3. We were each X-1. I won 2-0 with Salamangreat against his Striker deck. I Imperial Ordered him in game 2. I would go on to get eliminated in round 8. Ryan made Day 2. He literally won at minimum 6 straight rounds after starting X-2. That takes some mental fortitude.
The chess comparison at the end is so wrong 😂 Chess has more draws, and player stats are classified into different categories. In chess, players can agree to draw as part of the strategy to win a tournament, so the win rate is not a good indicator. He is comparing two fundamentally different sets of information: Magnus Carlsen overall stats are extremely insane. He has a 65% win rate, but what matters is that he has a 15% game loss rate! If Ryan win rate in a master duel cup was 65%, Magnus online win rate is 85% with 0 loses. There is no comparison to make here. Magnus is just that good.
Zugzwang is a German word which basically means, "It is your turn to move, and all of your moves are bad!" the only thing in you can do to not lose it pass your turn wich is not possible in chess
That chess comparison was so incredibly forced. Magnus doesn't play 10+ rounds of Swiss against some randos at every event he attends. His win rate is impressive because he exclusively plays against the absolute best players in the world in a game of perfect information with essentially 0 RNG. He is the highest-rated chess player of all time. Arguably the GOAT. Phy either doesn't know what he's talking about or is knowingly spreading misinformation for the hype.
Bro I wish I could play in dragon duels I’m literally 4 months from being able to play in dragon duels. So now I have to play against people older than me. Which has definitely fought me to be a much better player. Anyways would love to learn more about how I could improve even more as a player. Started seeing more consistent success this year. Getting top 8 at locals consistently. Tbh yugioh my dream and would honestly love to be able to compete with Ryan at top tables in the future.
Im 19 and unfortunately despite playing since 2013 I had very little clue about the competitive scene till 2020. I would’ve loved the chance to do Dragon Duels or play at this higher level but I just didn’t know this whole other world outside existed until my high school years (wow i feel old). Im still learning and trying to be the best I can but it’s been hard juggling the cost of the game and finding time to make even locals sometimes. But I have been fortunate enough to attend YCS Indianapolis 2023 and NAWQC 2022 and while I didn’t go to attend the main tournament it was just the fact I was able to go with one of my best friends (who I met thru YGO) and even meet pro players and yugitubers was awesome to me. (Including getting a Fairy Tail Snow signed by Jesse at Indy lol)
Not really "way older" obviously, but crazy seeing players that are 4 years my junior. The highschool perspective that all people like a year or more younger than you are children is real lmfao.
I legit don’t know why someone made a video about Ryan Yu being a good yugioh player like 7 years after everyone already knew he was a good yugioh player. Don’t know how he’s “new”. Garrett or whatever his name is makes alright content but sometimes some of the stuff he says makes it super obvious he isn’t nearly as informed as his channel and content makes it seem.
I saw this video days ago and I’m pretty sure the original title of the video was something along the lines of “The Best to Never Do it” so it’s interesting to see that it changed.
yeah what a stupid idea, like everyone already knew about him. there are no returning or new players, or people just not as involved back then. again, what a stupid video idea…
yeah I'm sure everyone on earth has been following competitive yugioh for the past 7 years, why would anyone possibly make a video like this The video isn't made for you. It's telling a fucking interesting story that the vast majority of viewers aren't fully aware of.
Zugzwang is indeed, a German term (zug means move and zwang means compulsion). For those who don't know - it means a gamestate where any legal move would weaken/worsen your positioning. Traditionally from chess, but used in more convential card games as well.

React content where the reactor actually knows something about the topic and can provide something is the only good kind tbh
@@aure0521Exactly, unless you can expand on what's being said, there's no reason to react to it

The joy he had when flipping dice jar is the joy I aspire to have every duel

65% winrate is good?
@lollmaonice what's considered best players? Master rank? Or just duelist cup
Yeah, considering whoever wins a coin toss has a major advantage
@@dr.stelio2282 Best players as in players in the high Duelist Cup elo. Against those, 65% is insane
Damn I'm 24 but you're saying I'm way older than Ryan? Time is goddamn crazy yo
Not really "way older" obviously, but crazy seeing players that are 4 years my junior. The highschool perspective that all people like a year or more younger than you are children is real lmfao.
Austin was 11 when he won
Jesse ftkd a kid
I'm going to have to agree with Mr. Hardleg Joe if you didn't know. Ban Maxx C. Everytime that card is played we all lose a year off our lives.
If'n ya didn't know
UNBAN ISOLDE

Y mad
I like that he tries to make video essay esc content for yugioh. Even if its abit dramatic
yeah what a stupid idea, like everyone already knew about him.

I’ve been saying Ryan Yu the goat
Im crying grown men crying over yugioh its a game stop feeling sorry for your self
Jesse needs to see a doctor... Bro looks like he's about to fall apart, I'm not even making fun of him, I'm legit concerned
you are being mean, stop it
Unnessassary
Since he will be the next goat when will he get sacrificed?
