      @SiegeDestroyer as someone who was, unfortunately, raised to be very deceptive to authority... yeah, good liars have a series of fallback lies to lean on to protect the first lie, you already assume you're going to have to feign ignorance about lying in the first place. heck, when you're a known liar, the first lie is always just a sacrificial fib you throw out there to immediately admit to and appear more honest.

      That is most judges even in mtg. Most judges are not actual pro players. They are typically casual players who want to be part of the competitive game. While nothing wrong with that, it makes situations like this easily avoidable

      I don’t think Weevil actually ever cheated though, right? I mean, I haven’t gone back to finishing the anime after duelist kingdom, and I guess him throwing out exodia is kinda cheating, but none of that was during a duel, and at least weevil actually knew what his cards did

    • @Mickymicmike
      @Mickymicmike Month ago +27

      ​@greenshyguyfrommarioDestroying (Or removing in any way) your opponent's cards would still qualify as cheating. Also in Battle City he sneaks a card into Joey's deck that benefits him when Joey draws it. Him and Rex also later sneak into a tournament by faking their identity.

      Tried getting back into yugioh and was basically laughed out of the store when I asked a player if they could slow down and explain what each card is doing. I had a basic idea from just reading the cards off yugioh meta but this was the first time playing against it and seeing it in action and just needed a bit of hand holding as they did their thing

    • @RenegadeVile
      @RenegadeVile Month ago +80

      Yeah, the last time I played any Yugioh (years ago now) I still frequently asked to read their cards as they were being played. A lot of players constantly got pissy over it, but I caught at least two illegal plays that I can remember because of it (not competitive, mind you, but still).

      synchros were wanna be fusions. like when MTG printed Aetherspark with alt borders. Aetherspark was a great set and synchro art was generally ok. but it was lazy and less horror inducing and more predictable than 2004 to 2007 level skill.
      now I hear rumors the game is way adjusted and significant changes.

      I mean, that's how cheating works. We live in a world where we tend to assume innocence until guilt. Many people get away with cheating by just claiming they're "better." What's worse, it's extremely difficult to catch them because when you claim others are cheating, you're always the one with the burden of proof, not them; they can just keep on bluffing as long as the cheat is not obvious.

      @TheGreatSalsaMan Month ago +23

      @QuantumConundrum I think they do that because of the BS time rules so they waste as little time as possible. This is why games should never be timed at the higher levels. Give players time to think when titles are on the line. Understandable that locals and qualifiers would need it but no reason to have in the title match.
      Edit: I understand they have new rules now, but you spend your entire tournament playing a certain way it’s hard to break habits

    • @TheFallingFlamingo
      @TheFallingFlamingo Month ago +6

      This has been a rule for as long as I've been playing the game and I started attending locals in 2008. You always had to declare what you were doing and then give your opponent time to respond.
      It's actually different nowadays, as the turn player has priority and can chain block.
      Cheng got away with most of his cheating because in early Yu-Gi-Oh! you didn't have to imediately reveal searched cards, so you could claim to search a card that you already had in your hand (Red Gadget, Lumina, Garoth, etc) and then give yourself the card from deck you want (like future fusion, JD/extra LS name, etc etc etc).

    • @BeanMagoon
      @BeanMagoon Month ago +9

      ​@TheFallingFlamingo that's not entirely true, you had to show the opponent back then, too. the rules were just harder to enforce back then, and people were less knowledgeable about the specifics! especially at local and sometimes regional levels. but revealing the search has essentially always been a rule

    Honestly I get keeping an eye on a Chat livestream for potential misplays or cheating, I mean you're outsourcing a very very complex game to hundreds or thousands of people who might know the game a lot better, its a good way to make sure you dont miss anything in such a complex, combo heavy game like YuGiOh which to any normal person is a nightmare to interpret.
    But its just so funny to me the "Judge" walks over twice in the clip and says something like "Hey guys, uh, chat something something about detaching I guess?". Its just the WAY he approaches it is so funny, it reminds me of Tony Schalub's character in Galaxy Quest.

      Maybe we could do it, but find 10 people you know who'll do it well. So many games in.

    As someone who doesn't play the game, coming in with a deck he apparently had someone else put together and hasn't practiced with, every error in play should be on him for his deck. I can't imagine coming in to any other competition like this so 'unprepared'. It's disrespectful to your opponents and their time and for those that want to play a clean game.
    I also can't imagine judges relying on chat and being like 'oh something from chat maybe about that'' rather than at least reading it a little more and coming in with a determination - or knowing what they're doing a little better overall.

      Bro, you are a bit mean here. I was asked to participate in a tournament, but didn't had my cards with me (I said so), so I was given a reserve deck, but it had a banned cards (which were its cores), so shortly before I was given another - but I didn't had knowledge neither about deck composition or most cards power (ritual deck with Ruing Queen of Oblivion), so I was forced to learn in the get go - I lost in the end (placed 39 from 40 players and only because one used another banned card and was disqualified) and I said never again a random deck. So, please be a bit more understandable.

    My main takeaway from this is I have no idea how anyone is able to watch Yugioh well enough to catch anything, much less the cheating happening. Grainy footage of cards reflecting the light off their sleeves with text boxes crowded with a paragraph barely readable when the cards are in front of you. There must be legendary levels of hyper-focus and memorization happening in the community.

    Im sorry but "its statistically impossible to go 8+ rounds and not lose multiple games" is the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard.

    If you need to "Ask" how you play your deck, then you shouldn't be in this tournament.
