    For those of you who want to know about the summons mentioned at 8:02 :
    - Gemini Monters are summoned as regular monsters, but while on the field they can be summoned again to activate an effect. This counts as a normal summon, not a special one, so it takes up your one summon for the turn.
    - Contact Fusion is a type of Fusion that requires all monsters involved in the fusion to be on the field, but it does not require Polymerization or a similar card.
    - Transformation Fusion is a type of fusion that turns one monster into another: think of it as a one-monster Fusion summoning. These require their own special Spell cards instead of Polymerization.
    - Accel Synchro Summoning is like regular Synchro Summoning, except both monsters involved have to be Synchro Monsters themselves.
    - Delta Accel Synchro Summoning requires at least three Synchro Monsters instead of the regular two.
    - Limit Over Accel Synchro Summoning is the same as Delta Accel Synchro Summoning, except it's got a different name (which it got from the anime).
    - Double Tuning is Synchro Summoning, except both monsters need to be Tuner monsters.
    - Dark Synchro Summoning has you _substract_ the level of a Dark Tuner monster from a non-Tuner monster. The resulting number is called a Negative Level: this is the level at which you can summon a Dark Synchro Monster as if it were a regular Synchro Monster.
    - XYZ Evolution exists in two forms: either you overlay the XYZ Evolution monster over a specific monster (mentioned on the XYZ Evolution card) or you use a Spell that lets you overlay the XYZ Evolution Monster over an existing XYZ monster. In both cases the Materials still attached to the original XYZ Monster (as well as the monster itself) attach to the XYZ Evolution Monster as Materials.
    And that should be all of them... as long as nobody asks about Phantom Synchro, Cross XYZ, Overscale Pendulum, Integration Summoning or Dimension Summoning.

      Beriorn the heck is phantom syncro, cross XYZ, overscale pendulum and integration summoning

    • @Beriorn
      @Beriorn 7 лет назад +166

      Let's do these as well then.
      - Phantom Synchro is a Synchro Summon where the monster is summon from the Graveyard instead of the extra deck.
      - Cross Xyz Summon is an Xyz Summon where one of the monsters involved is an Xyz monster, whose Rank is used as a Level for Xyz Summoning purposes.
      - Overscale Pendulum is a Pendulum Summon where it doesn't matter what scales you have in your Pendulum Zones, used for summoning very low-level monsters.
      - Transcendent Pendulum Summon is a Pendulum Summon where the sum of the two Pendulum Scales exceeds the Transcendent monster's level, the opposite of Overscale.
      - Integration Summon is a type of Summon that lets you Special Summon a monster from your Extra Deck that can be summoned in no other way.
      - Dimension Summon is used in a special Dimension Duel (name not official) where you deplete your Spirit gague to summon a monster for free, but powering up a monster summoned this way requires extra investment from your Spirit gauge and if a monster summoned this way is destroyed this way, instead of taking regular battle damage you take damage equal to the destroyed monster's ATK/DEF (depending on its position at the time).
      Note that all of these are manga, anime and movie only.

      Well, Its the anime. In the anime, you can use "Dark Magic Curtain" to summon a Dark Magician, but your opponent can also summon if they have, and your opponent can also summon Dark Magician Girl if possible. In RL however, only you get this effect; but you can only summon Dark Magician, nothing else than Dark Magician.

  • @DerVasto
    @DerVasto 6 лет назад +52

    Now, from all the added forms of summoning:
    Synchros, I can get behind. Pretty simple really, you just do the same as an on-field ritual summon but the ritual is instead a Tuner-typed monster you control and you don´t need the synchro-monster to be drawn since it´s extra-deck.
    Xyz, alright. It´s basically just another idea of the same concept rituals and synchros follow, with more focus on monster-level, like rituals. Also, once again it´s extra-deck, so no searching for Xyz-monsters required.
    Pendulum. Pendulum seems so over-complicated and convoluted in a way that makes normal players never wanna use them.
    I heard someone say "I tried a pendulum-deck once in the OCG, and it just went and played itself. My friend was asking what I did, and I only answered I don´t know." This summons (heh, summon) up perfectly what Pendulums are all about.
    Confusing your opponent to a point where he doesn´t know when to activate a possible counter, OR, if he knows about them, just spamming multiple monsters and doing stupidly long card-combos with effects that most of the time result in an OTK.

    • @alex_zetsu
      @alex_zetsu 2 года назад +2

      I lost 7 duels to Pendulum decks before I understood them and half believed people were just screwing with my head. Then I realized the whole thing could not only be stopped by anything that negates special summons, but even Mystical Space Typhoon would just put a kibosh to it since they'd have to reset their scales. I also realzied 3 of those duels I lost I could have easily stopped things. So once I got it, I begrudgingly accepted this. Ironically, I think I would have got it if I was caught up to the anime at that time. I'm not a huge fan of some of the more powerful XYZ monsters, but this is less due to the mechanic and more the fact that I feel like they are giving away too many non destruction removals like candy when it should be harder to get into. I'd be equally upset if they put effects of some of the more busted XYZ monsters on a main deck monster that can be special summoned from the graveyard. Now what I really hate are link summons. This isn't because they are too complicated. This is because the materials are too generic. Some of them are ridiculous things are "two effect monsters." All these link summons being too easy has many implications. One, you don't need to carefully manage levels of monsters you summon like you do with Synchros. Two, targeting cards that cause a negative effect on your opponent's monsters are neutralized just by using them as materials and unlike a tribute summon, this can be done more than once per turn, unlike a ritual summon this doesn't need a card in the hand to help, and unlike a Synchro summon, you don't need a type of monster (tuner) to help with that. Three, splashing monsters outside of archetype is way easier. Three, defense position mechanics don't work. Like I wish they just said any link monster in defense position is destroyed by game mechanic instead of just not allowing them to change. And don't get me started on link monsters which can be summoned by tokens. I don't mind the Sky Strikers since their materials are archetype specific. I understand the need to summon link monsters for those arrows, but I think link monster with good on field effects should be harder to summon requiring something like "Archetype Specific Card + Type (Say Spellcaster, Dragon, Machine, whatever)" or if they want it generic "Three of type" and not "two effect monsters."

    @bisonsama321 6 лет назад +16

    Apart from regular conditionnal Special Summons, Synchro summon has always felt like the best designed summon to me.
    It came out at a time where lower-lvl monsters had few reasons to be played (if not « this guy is a whatever-tribe, so you need to run this to do whatever with the other whatever-tribe guys in your deck »), does make sense in term of board and ressources (you’re not dumping your whole hand into a ridiculously broken guy, but rather piling up your smaller guys into something that challenges the board), and incentivizes decision-making and complex lines of play (since you usually have different versatile Synchro monsters at each level and can pull off nice lines of play if you can recur your smaller guys). So well designed that it actually worked pretty immediatly without Konami having to release absurd support or cheat-into-play cards like with Ritual and Fusion.
    Xyz seems fine, though I’m less excited about « how do I get 2 5-stars on the board ? » than « how do I manage to assemble a 8-star guy with my 3-stars guy and my 2-stars tuner in hand ? »
    Pendulum just seems dumb. I imagine the pendulum-based decks are more intelligent than they seem and build a board or various monsters with synergestic effects rather than a bunch of mid-sized hitters, but still : either your game is 80% based on your opening hand, or they’re continuously releasing broken tribe-based tutoring effects to carry such a level of hand-dumping.
    It also seems pretty clear that Konami’s original game design has been thrown away long ago considering how normal and tribute summon seem like a joke today.

Then I watched a couple of gameplays and found all about these new methods, originally I wanted to read the rules of the website but with my ADHD I knew I couldn’t pay attention. So I looked up on RUclips how to do these things and found this. I thought the title sounded funny so I clicked on the vid and found it to be more helpful than I first thought it would be!

    Pendulum summoning seems broken AF. When I used to play years ago they just left the game at fusion and ritual summoning. Seemed simple enough to follow and pick up of you were watching or new to the game. I'm a more of a minimalist. I think the game should try to stick more to its roots and fundamental mechanics. You start adding all these extra mechanics and it just starts to make the game messy in my opinion. You know it's getting to that point when they have to keep altering the playing board/mat to accommodate new things.

    Some ritual\fusion cards allow you to use cards from the graveyard.
    Also, you can set as many pendulum scales as you want, as long as you have the cards and can clear the pendulum zones to place new cards there.

      Agreed. A lot of synchro are o.p. and can result in a one turn k.o. that's why I stick to my own deck and shun those who use the same old b.s. everyone else uses.

      As for pendulum summon: the best scale is 0-13 (meaning you can summon any monster that can be special summoned with this method), the worst scale is matching numbers or one scale is +1 of the other (example: 1-1 or 2-3 will not let you summon any monster)

    You didn't mention that Pendulum Monsters are played the same way as any regular/effect monster in the Monster Card zone and therefore still fall under the same summoning requirements to summon stronger monsters as the others and that in the Pendulum Zone, that monster's spell effect is activated and it's the only way to activate said effect, rather then play the monster in the spell/trap card zone as per normal.

    Edit: I like the machine comparison, but because it's a "tuner" I like to think of it musically. The tuner represents the tuning, composition, and structure of the song(the song being the synchro itself) and the other monsters represent the instruments required to play it.
    Another way I like to look at it is that Synchro is basically updated ritual monsters because it requires one other special card, and Xyz is like updated fusion monsters that don't make you wait on polymerization. I think we can all agree that's what Konami was thinking when they made them.

      Says nothing about him being pendulum summon so the meta is Solemn works vs the pendulum summoning AS A WHOLE, so it bangs all the monster being summoned. Another strategy is to destroy the enemy pendulum as soon as he declares pendulum summons a monster.

    I seriously wish I knew about you before I got into Yugioh. My first experience was with duel links, I learned just about everything I know now a days through that game... But sitll, synchros and links for example were confusing to me.. Duel links don't even have Links and pendulums so, it was always kinda foreign to me, I understand and utilize them now, but man, knowing this video existed 3 years ago would've helped me so much lmao

    Contact fusion is my favorite summoning cause in all honest.....It was the forefather of Synchro which I also like.
    Also bring your friend/bud/mate in again. He has a very photogenic face......

    It's overall pretty simple. You just need to read the cards and be able to atleast count to 12. Got back into the game this year and after like a week on MD was ready to seriously play again.
    Mostly play heroes, traptrix and meme decks like a creature swap/remove brainwashing kaiju troll decks.

    I played yu gi oh back when a normal monster wasn't useless and card attack and defence stats mattered. Then I saw that they didn't and dropped it.this vid helped me understand how to fight back if I ever got back into the game.

    I like ritual and fusion summons. Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon is amazing and I love Black Luster Soldier.

    The special summoning methods are piss easy.
    Ritual?
    One Ritual monster, one Ritual spell, and tributes.
    Fusion?
    Two (or more) monsters, and a Fusion spell. Sometimes you don't even need spells.
    Synchro?
    Needs one monster and one "tuner", then add their levels.
    XYZ?
    Two monsters (or more, depends) with the same level.
    Pendulum?
    Special summon any monsters from the hand and/or Extra Deck with levels in-between the "scales" numbers. Cards from the hand go to the usual monster zones, cards from the Extra deck go to the Extra monster zone.
    Links?
    Have monsters on the field equal to its Link Rating, with stats according to the requirements.
