It's that time again.
More Vanguard
youtu.be
Cardfight Vanguard Dimension 2
WEAKNESS
IS
A
SIN!
Tutorial episode.
Reminder that Glendios is a much better end game boss than Gyze.
>actually complex to pilot and requires thought rather than I CHECK TRIGGER
>get to use sick ass Reverse units for your costs and skills
>Glendios Loop forces your opponent to call cards as locked, and omega locks their field if you have 5 damage, meaning you just have to block the vanguard swing and you win
>Glendios Fall can bring you to 5 damage if they try to play around ultimate break
Tutorial episodes are nice to have especially since this airs at a new time in Japan.
Gotta get people readjusted
I dont see the problem
>gift II always existed
>nobody told Naoki
I'm calling bullshit on this.
It sounds about right really
This actually airs in original S1 timeslot before it was replaced by Buddyfight anime so they had to change it when Asia Circuit started.
>Aichi says that when a Vanguard attacks a Vanguard a trigger check is preformed
Is this how Bushiroad is going to stop damage denial?
that would be pretty based desu
Found the Ezel /Zanbaku player
Damage denial strats from Kai vs Koutei created a lot of dumb players.
They need to be tricked back into just swinging face
People giving me 2 damage when they are at G1 makes me so hard
Fuck Ezel and your superior ridin and stridin
nobody told Naoki about Break Ride either
How do they even do that?
people who try to rush down damage
>Retards giving you 2+ dmg before they are at G3 even though they saw your starter and KNOW you play rush Ezel
FTFY
If you lose to this you deserve it
Critical Triggers
Spin Kid
Calling Two G1s and pushing
well yeah they deserve to die but playing it slow doesnt really help either
>*teleports in front of you*
It kinda helps in the sense that it doesn't make the situation worse for you
Though as Gold enthusiast I agree Bushings needs to hit ezels consistency in Premium either by hitting the OG starter or Blond V himself
Also print V Gurguit
Redempition arc when
I dont think Premium is ever going to be balanced, its like traditional Yugioh.
this guy looks like he plays DI
One of the most kino Vanguard episodes.
>It's a "Student Council makes an ass out of themselves" episode
When will they learn?
He does in the OG anime and was shown with Master of the Fifth Element (?) during the teaser
I mean premium IS pretty balanced currently
I just want an excuse to play Gurguit instead of Ezel as well is superior in every form
It's only the president.
Maki is cute and knows what she's doing and the other guy is normal
>When will they learn?
Never.
>It's only the president.
Now I fear he'll take turns with Naoki and Shingo as the jobber of the team
>Maki is cute
But she being a subpar teacher is why Aichi has to teach them properly in the first place
Did we get cardfights in the rain?
Only while the players were indoors
There was a cardfight where they were in an open abandoned warehouse and a bunch of snow started blowing in though
Can't forget fighting on top of a mountain and through an avalanche
>looks at the hour
WTF time goes flying
>tfw still can't handle the rules
anyway I'll skip this epispde
But this is one of the best episodes for learning the rules
He looks like Sora
Blaster.... Joker.....
No the cards would get wet.
Legion arc was amazing and so shit at the same time
He is.
Could've been decent with a few major and minor changes but it did everything it did poorly
>there will never be a good boss fight as passionate as kanzaki
i am as confused as naoki
Chrono vs Kamui had a ton of passion
Chrono vs Kazumi/Shiranui 3 was probably the Vanguard equivalent of two dudes throwing meteors at each other
Chrono vs Ryuzu had at least 24 episodes of buildup for a really good emotional climax to G
Well damn
he needs to play DI again
He will be based on the previews
>STILL ZERO NEW AICHI DOUJINS
JAPANNNNNNNNNNNNNN
>Gift II has always existed
>they just never told Aoki about it
>We purposely trained him wrong, as a joke
it's pretty based considering how good he is even while being trained wrong
Having Shin as a mentor provided a buffer
I just wish Ryuzu grew up to his adult form for the climax fights. They advertised it this way and I still feel cheated.
I loved his young adult design and also sad he jobbed to Shin in a flashback.
Going from Adult > Old man > Rebirth > Kid > Adult > Baby would've been too weird
Adult > Old Man > Rebirth > Kid > Baby is less disturbing
Random Episode user here trying something new.
To promote discussion, I wanted to start a new experiment.
Each week I will be using random.org to generate a list of five focus episodes for the anons here to watch and discuss.
The list for this first trial:
>Vanguard G Girs Crisis Episode 22: "Night Before the Showdown"(*YT)
>Vanguard Asia Circuit Episode 79: "Excitement at the Seoul Stage!"(*YT)
>Vanguard Asia Circuit Episode 100: "The Blazing Lion"(*YT)
>Vanguard Season 1 Episode 46: "The Coiling Thread"
>Vanguard G NEXT Episode 36: "Liberation from Destiny"(*YT)
*Can be found found on the official YouTube channel
Get Watching
Well that's a way t get ramdom screenscaps going I guess
>didnt make the joke be that she was using vanguard fish cards as bait
Common now
Roll credits!
You heard the lady we have to up the amount of bait posts
Dimensional/timeline fuckery probably resulted in Gift IIs existing, I fully expect Naoki will try to use both Gifts in the same game and gets mocked by Shingo for it
Well I likede whe chrono talked about his dad then blondguy went about how not-kaibaKorp was taken over by Not-GentarouHugou.
Getting the boys togetyher in a shot in a ramdom ass dorm is the comfiest thing in the whole episode.
I didnt care much for the dialogue there tho, it was cookie cutter
I like the ads
>tfw your two friends start randomly dropping truth bombs when you've just been playing the game all season
>friend's dad is dead and connected to the villain
>your two new friends are possibly evil
Chrono and Shion really need to be more open
>my pet hackerman is better than your
Are they always this mean?
>Miwa calls out Q4 for being a disorganized bunch of shitters back in the day
BASED
>mfw no alt art shout
I dont know why, but I cant describe close up shots of her as anything other than "she's doing an EVA face"
>It's an Onimaru episode
His VA is in One Punch Man now and I can't unsee him.
Is there a single bad Onimaru episode?
>no biggest mommy in the anime
My Neo Nectar User Can't be This Smug
The cut open fish looked like tongues
do these series have naked boys like yokai watch?
Somebody post it
I like the casualfights, but not so much how everyone is so casual about everything
There's no point worrying themselves more before the big day and they just had dinner.
Being super casual after venting some major stuff keeps them from being worrying wrecks
So either they win and arc has no stakes, or they lose and the arc is predictable.
I would rather they lose sinse it appears they haven lost yet in the season.
And it would be a good oportuity to make then job to someone new, as in someone they didnt fight before.
forgot pic
those are some perfectly fine jobbers jobber looking people
This scene throws in a possible implication that everyone here went easy on them during the season
Girs Crisis was basically a training arc
how did she win?
She's probably his surrogate imouto at this point where she feeds him donuts instead of nagging on him
you wouldn't marry your imouto though
Kumi needed more love
Here's your fakeout villan bro
Is this the most blatant case of creators swerving their own ship in Vanguard?
Yeah basically
>everything progressing smoothly
>signs are there
>some executive somewhere: "the main character getting with the side girl? can it"
>But she being a subpar teacher is why Aichi has to teach them properly in the first place
She wasn't a subpar teacher though he was just disrespecting the game and being a shit student. Guy was totally playing with a "Oh I can just lay down cards and win. What a shitty and ez game" mindset.
Literally the only friend he had at school
Then they formed a high school team
And then the second Tokoha comes back from France, they act like strangers around her
It could of been great
It's a well balanced trio too.
Ratie was the only person in the cast small enough for Aichi to not be the trap in the relationship
He looks bored
>team 7 seas
>they play grandblue
I will take the chance in this clearly filler fight to point attention to the fact that the duel setup is very much like the Yugioh S1 setup it's kinda distracting
>30 second turns with OTT
Why is Asia Circuit a dick to Misaki
Special rules were a mistake
the one where you start with 2 damage and go up to 8 was pretty based
Not knowing where to aim has made it very dificult to deal much damage!
Fine that one was decent but
>random targeting
>30 second turn timers
>rear guard drive checks
were insane
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The card he wanted to ride was in his hand sinse last turn and he didnt topdeck it
>>rear guard drive checks
I always forget that the G3 units that get drive on Rear get twin drive
An then there's stand triggers which just cause them to loop for extra drive checks and attacks
There's a reason why 16 stand Blademaster will be a thing
Legion Mate was unnecessary since Reverse was already a great finale to the series, but all of the ideas were fantastic. It just fell on its face executing them, tons of plot threads got great build up then just kind of petered out, like the whole traitor dude hijacking the Link Jokers.
I'd love to see a v-series rehash of the arc that just takes the same beats and gives them a bit more care.
and that's that I guess.
Pretty meme and pretty filler overall
Shipping in Vanguard has always been a ridiculous mess for some reason. I understand if creators want to avoid shipping, or if characters are teased but never end up together as a marketing thing, but in this series they bait it so much then seem to intentionally go out of their way to stomp it out if it gets popular.
>2 Asia circuit episodes
Outside of the Aichi, Kourin Misaki triangle, the original was normal with its ships and everyone had someone but say Kai.
G though? That was a goddamn blender of throwing out bait especially in G NEXT/GZ:
>The Kumi/Chrono/Tokoha shenanigans which were confirmed writer vs Voice Actors
>The Ibuki/Mamoru/Rin triangle feat, Henri
>Luna and Am yuribait having Kazuma and Shion thrown in for good measure(they actually dedicated an entire episode to Kazuma falling for Luna)
>Enishichi
>Jaime wanting either Chrono or Miguel to fuck Tokoha for his amusement
There's probably some stuff I'm forgetting but that G NEXT beach episode should've been an orgy
Ibuki and Rin?
The character notes Itou had about Ibuki's taste in women were spot on for Rin.
Said character notes also mentioned that Chrono finds Misaki hot.
But I'm mainly talking about how Mamoru kept making advances on Ibuki while also leading Rin on
Geez it was mess
>Chrono will have to carry a noob (who is a bit of a bitch at times) and a casual for the U-20
I don't know if his back will be able to take it
>But I'm mainly talking about how Mamoru kept making advances on Ibuki while also leading Rin on
That's Rin's fault for keep spilling her spaghetti whenever she encounters Mamoru and then takes it out on Tokoha because senpai doesn't notice her (enough)
Trinity Dragons still the best rival characters
Trinity Dragon vs Striders had some of the best use of lighting in G.
Also enjoyed how they framed Striders as the villains trying to take down the champions of the shop.
Early G NEXT did a lot to cast Chrono in a different light.
Is there any hope at this point for a cardfight App out anytime soon?
probably not, the cardfight mobile game is duel links 0.5.
The closest you'll get is Cardfight for the >Switch but its Standard only
ohwait Zero is the phone game, and Exe is the Switch/PS4 game
Cardfight 0 for mobile devices has been undergoing an unknown amount of changes
EX is for the Switch/PS4
PC users currently use Cardfight Area as a basic simulator
There's also Japanese only 3ds games to emulate
>Cardfight 0
The idea was good but the rools were horrible
What do you mean? Anything I can improve on?
Good shit
Why watch this when yugioh exists?
1. I still play this game, unlike yugioh.
2. I prefer a completely average show with some peaks than the steaming trash heap that is vrains.
Where does this rank among all the "tutorial episodes?"
Probably first or second
Better than the ones where they skip multiple turns (Chrono vs Luna) but less than other tutorial episodes that actually use the abilities (Naoki vs Kourin LJ and V)
misaki turned to a jobber pretty quick
>all this time aichi was an imoutoman
emi was too mature for his taste
Nope.
The females characters are competent and and it's comfy with the protag actually loses from time to time. It's much better than the whole 'my dueliing always wins' thing Yusaku has going on. Also it doesn't shy away from the gay
I never understood this ship aside from it going well cosmetically Pink/Red. There was literally zero signs of romantic interest towards eachother that I noticed.
No that would be Aichi and Misaki thanks to Lord Itou.
Come on Bushi. Hit them.
I started this game with V series. Has BT always been this fucking cancerous? If so why the hell does bushi keep making the same mistake and designing overpowered shit for them?
>Has BT always been this fucking cancerous?
Yes. Every single set drop they become tier 1 if not higher. Although the V bermudas are probably the largest leap, but their last support in G was also fucking retarded with support including, but not limited to
>being able to stride first even if your opponent is at G2
>having access to 8 G-guard enablers
>having access to 6 sentinels in a deck
>a stride that restands for no cost other than putting units on the bottom of your deck who gets skills when you do that anyways
>g-guards that turn themselves face down
>a costless on-stride skill that lets you draw two and gives power +5Kx to your front row
And more. Why? Because they sell.
But don't they sell because of their art? What purpose does making them broken serve if the otaku who are already going to buy them are going to do so regardless of how powerful they are? I'm against overpowered shit of any kind but I'd think if anything it'd be a better decision to make the less popular clans more overpowered since BT's already going to rake in money, as are popular protagoinst clans like RP/Kagero/SP so they might as well increase the sales of the other ones that they're going to be making anyway but don't have a lot of appeal.
Double dip. If they're busted, then they get both idolfags and compfags.
>Every single set drop they become tier 1 if not higher.
Pretty sure there were a couple sets where they were complete garbage.
Man I just wish they would show some new cards in the anime more often. I miss the days when you found out about the new flashy cards in the anime first. I don't like the weekly streams from that aspect.
ZERO when? They said summer release so it should be very soon.
Soon. They're pushing out a new tv commercial which is a good sign
I doubt Itou is going to toss out Aichi and Misaki. That'd just be weird at this point.
I think people latched on to how she was one of the first to notice he wasn't a bad person and that she was supportive.
Of course, this became way less relevant once Tokoha stopped being a tsun around Chrono and it was Try 3 all the time
Soonish
>1. I still play this game, unlike yugioh.
Why did you quit?
VRAINS is good, fuck off.
>gay
back to tumblr with that shit
Am was shipped with Shion in next.
If you say so
Hopefully they're making the mobile app actual Vanguard. I have no fucking clue why they felt the need to make a different version of the game. I understand Duel Links since Yugioh is unintuitive as hell but Vanguard must be the only card game on the market you could make work on mobile with no changes.
because mobilefags have zero attention span and all duels/fights must last under 5 minutes or they delete the game
Vanguard actually has a lot of confirmation checks in a single turn so they probably wanted to streamline things too much because
>actually believing this
No it was never good. Now fuck off back to your drains thread.
Better than any episode of the V remake so far. That series is soulless as hell.
Funny you mention soulless since that perfectly describes VRAINS. Arc-V was bad but it owned it and was an entertaining watch. Zexal was eons better when it came to having high energy and charisma. VRAINS is so low energy in comparison. I don’t even need to mention how good the original three series were.
>shallow characters with little development
>unoriginal plot with every sci-fi/shonen cliche in the book
>bad pacing
>duels are brought down with exposition out of the ass
I can’t think of anything that is remotely good about that show and I’m glad I dropped it because it didn’t seem to improve at all from what I’ve heard. Vanguard V at least has well written characters with relatable personalities and backstories, better thematic execution, pacing and has the balls to make its plot have some interesting twists and turns. There’s no contest.
Arc-V had a shitty MC. I'll take based Yusaku any day to that crybaby tomato.
They're both shit but at least Yuya can emote
Now fuck off to the drains thread
I cant wait for it to do something
Based mobilebros?
mobilebros know that playing through a full game of Vanguard with the 10+ confirmation checks a turn would get annoying fast
Also G3 triggers are an interesting idea that may as well be explored in an online game before the physical
I wonder if CFZ will have limit break animations
>>Vanguard Asia Circuit Episode 100: "The Blazing Lion"(*YT)
oh fuck
Yup, that's weird. In the old series it was explicitly said all the time that new cards were being released, while in V apparently every card existed since forever.
The show doesn't pretend that the game hasn't been going on for years
>og cards in the background
why
Strides and premium exist in the anime.
Everyone just plays standard
inb4 that's a S3 plot-twist
>Aichi strides twin sword
>Naoki: what the fuck is that
>everyone: you didn't know strides existed? what a noob
I realised I stopped caring about competitive ygo when I brought Gigaplant.deck to a regionals. Considering how greedy and stupid konami has gotten, it was a good decision.
I still play the occasional videogame of it, but especially duelists of the roses.
>he hasn't dropped yugioh with vrains
Lmao
Oh hey it's a "Jobber wins" epsiode.
But they win in a dumb as fuck way
>Am traded pic related for heterosexuality
smart choice
.
>inb4 even the villans were in on it
>"So Aichi, feel free to enter the upstairs bedroom in 10 minutes for a good time"
Whar did Bushiroad mean by this
>no mimic episode
How would that even work?
all the card art is just the characters making poses
That's a good idea for a set
GATTAI
what would be the name?
Planet E(lore reference) Heroes
The Other Vanguards
Great Reversal
Some better name than the above
>Still no public demo
>its an Ezel vs Gyze episode
Countering Gyze is the only reason to say that Kryph doesn't need to get hit in premium
>Am was shipped with Shion in next.
The very same episode started off with Am and Luna holding hands in a room before being interrupted by Saya in the most yuri way possible. If you saw anything romantic between Am and Shion then you're looking to deep, he simply payed for her life parents threatening operations to show the bad blood between them is over. They never even looked at eachother ever again after that episode
>mfw we will get sets that are old cards but with gifts
Am had more interaction with Enishi after that scene than Shion
>If you saw anything romantic between Am and Shion then you're looking to deep
This can be said for literally any pairing in the show that isn't aichi/misaki and aichi/kourin
card games
>females characters are competent
Since when has a female character done anything? of importance in this show?
...
>people still break riding legions
What do you consider "of importance"?
Winning important fights?
Being a good team member?
Providing good emotional support?
Vanguard females cover all three
>micro sling bikinis
>elaborate sling bikinis
Where's misaki's cowboy hat though?
where's Suiko's pubes?
kek based
Why is that grandma wearing a bikini?
But its g/u/od
Because she pleases young boys for free
In 2019? No way
user probably saw someone at his locals playing legion format for fun between rounds and got triggered.
How long till that happens?
Not for a full year at least.
It's something where we can't rule out "never", but we have no basis on if it actually is going to exist.
It'll probably slowly trickle in here and there like Blademaster, and eventually we'll get V versions of all the Stride Bearers and some of the more popular Grade 3s
>V gyze
I thought he meant cards that had on-stride skills as well as gifts as well as being retains.
Hasn't most sets been just v retrains of old cards?
Only Bermuda and GC are mostly new stuff
V Harmonics Messiah exist so by proxy V Gyze also exist already
In that case never. Stride isn't coming back.
That's implying V canon is similar to original canon.
They might be
It's not. Blaster Blade and Dark are still alive
Extra Booster 07 The Heroic Evolution had only 8 actually old cards.
Almost everything was new
they were alive by the end of S2
Why wouldn't they be?
They were both alive in G
I wonder if there will be a new extra deck mechanic down the line to replace strides or if imaginary gifts already do enough
Imaginary futures?
With white borders?
Sounds good. Now they just need a hook justify playing them
Hopefully not. Extra decks just make games more repetitive.
Duel Masters just got a new extra deck that's interesting in its ow way.
You shuffle them into their own pile and there are dedicated cards that summon them to the field from the top.
Could easily see something similar in Vanguard
Buddyfight also has Lost World if that counts as an extra deck
Quick Hero Active Mask
G2/ POWER: 10000/ GUARD: 5000
[Auto](R)[Once per turn]: When your VG attacks and it has POWER 30000 and above, [Cost]{CB1}, stand this card.
That's kinda cute I guess.
Dimension Police needed the multiattack and this combos well with great daiyusha
I love Vanguard!
In hindsight, she totally was really left out of the main plot back then.
I still wanted a proper rematch for Am and Shion, I really loved how Shion didn't forgive her in stride gate so I wanted to see their relationship getting a better ending.
One thing I really like about V is how good it is at getting everyone up to speed on what’s going on and getting them all involved in the story without making them look like idiots for not knowing what’s going on.
It's why the events of Stride Gate nearly broke her.
Everybody else was shielding her from everything happening that when shit actually got real and in a really close manner, she was a wreck
To be fair, at least it made sense in G since everyone had really good reasons for keeping secrets from each other with all the under the surface shenanigans going on
So apparently Argonavis will be singing the Theme song for Vanguard EX as well as the Ending 2 of this season. For those who don't know they are Bushiroads new band that will be taking over most of the music now that Ultra Rare and Milky holmes will be out of the picture. They also already released the intro for Vanguards next chapter when the new protagonist shows up
youtube.com
BT was mostly garbage throughout its lifetime because it was released awkwardly where it was always 1 set behind but took a year to get new cards. It only really got tier 1 when G ended and all the sets were caught up and then Bushi gave BT a bunch of OP shit. Of course then Premium happened I don't know whats going on anymore
do we know if Gear Chronicles are ever going to happen in the anime?
We do not but there's three mystery slots for characters fighting in the Koshien.
2 for Gouki's team (one of which might likely be Nubatama user Kazumi)
1 for Miyaji (which gets settled at the end of this arc I assume)
Rip Ultra Cakes.
I doubt they'll have Stride in V, so they'll just rework the skills for the Stride Bearers so one of the skills would be updated to fit V Era (the following is just a simple example I made up for laughs)
Dragonic Vanquisher
Grade 3 / 12000 PWR / Twin Drive!!
IG: Accel
CONT (VC): If your opponent has 4 or more cards in his or her Bind Zone, this unit gets +5000 PWR / +1 Critical
ACT (VC) 1/Turn : Cost [CB1] Choose one of your opponent's rear-guards, and bind it face up. If you a Grade 3 card in your soul, choose a card in your opponent's Drop Zone, and bind it face up.
>2 for Gouki's team (one of which might likely be Nubatama user Kazumi)
>Implying it wouldn't just be Gouki, Koutei, and Mamoru so they can show off Cocytus, Dailiner, and Blademaster
You are expecting too much plot twist when the result should be rather obvious
The Koshien requires teams of 5 and we know Kazumi is coming to the anime
>The Koshien requires teams of 5
Kept forgetting that (then again in the OG anime was rather loose with the team composition rules so the member numbers vary from each school), and wasn't the young Kazumi from the Vanguard EX game ad since he was shown along with Aichi, Ren, and the original character?
One of the more recent streams had an image of young EX Kazumi next to an older teen Kazumi(still younger than his G NEXT appearance) with TV Appearance in Japanese next to it
I wonder if we will see Shiranui as a RRR in the next set then.
>implying you can stop damage denial
*blocks your path*
Was it the past stream? That would be cool if he does show up. We might see shota Kazuma then. I wonder if they will still keep the family drama they had in G.
youtube.com
New PV for switch game and confirming that Young Onimaru Kazumi will play Nubatama.
>intro for Vanguards next chapter when the new protagonist shows up
The weird thing about that is the pic says Summer 2019 is when the ED for the "next chapter" starts. This doesn't make any sense. That means the current season is only going to be 12 episodes? How does that work?
God I hope this game gets localized, would buy a switch for it.
The Great is more expensive than The End.
Eeeh?
The great is better. The end is a meme that gets cucked by hitting a draw trigger.
>not running 12 crit and G1 PGs
This
Even more so now that they have skills
The great set is worst
Have fun losing 4 cards for free
God please no
I want a detailed season for Nome
He looks pretty bad
The exception being Chrono somehow having GC cards before release.
>When you hit them with the 4 drive checks and you're completely dry and they get a defensive trigger on the only damage you dealt
Fucking kill me I felt so tilted when this happened to me.
I mean if not for the ruling clarification the absolute Chad The X breakride into 4 attacks build meme seemed amazing.
You may even say you got Dryve checks while they got wet chunks!
>The great is better
lol
Found it
AFTERIMAGE intensifies
Still /accel/
Next chapter probably means the actual Koshien.
So far this is looking like the buildup season
just download/import it, it's a great way to start learning Japanese since kids game all have furigana
GC is a weird case.
>first the cards come from Cray
>then the villain mass produces them
>but then the MC just steals the villain's deck after defeating him rendering the second point moot until Aichi hands him Beyond Order
So where does the new main character fit into this? I thought it was implied he will be the main of next chapter.
He's the main character of the new SERIES
So whatever comes after the Koshien is his run.
It's like how season 1 of the reboot had that nice bubbly ending for the first half and then the AL4 arc had that decidedly cooler Triangle Message ending
So its going to be 12 episode training arc?
Yes, 12 episode training arc to get Aichi's team together, get Kai back into the game and Ibuki's Messiah quest
Also some stuff with Harumi high
This
Also most of the menus seem to have at least some English which will make playing it easier
So we will get V-ChronoUnits right?
Nobody knows. They dedicated the entire first wave of Gear Chronicle dancing around everything touched by Chrono and Ryuzu except Mystery Flare for some reason.
Even the PG was Arlim's doppelganger instead of just Arlim because Chrono used Arlim
>all those people complaining about no 3d attack models in the comments
are these negros serious? why would you want 10 second animations for every attack?
>3d attack models
What
Vanguard EX. People are complaining that the game doesn't have 3d attack models which is ridiculous.
Then again the most Vanguard Zero is doing is anime cutins for riding specific units
maybe it's duel links related idk
It's not. The same people were complaining about the lack of models in Yugioh games without realizing at 9k+ YGO cards, the games would never come out with 3d models
>nothing in his sign
grade zero
>So where does the new main character fit into this?
He won't be. They've just been showing stuff way ahead of time in advance for some reason.
3 months is actually not that ahead of time for Bushiroad
For something like this it is. I don't think they've ever shown a preview of a season before the season that comes before it even began.
They probably just wanted to reassure people that G wasn't coming back after revealing Mamoru.
>G wasn't coming back
For now. Don't even need a remake, just give us the characters in a new story
Gancelot > Alfred
Llew > Gancelot
What would V Llew even do at this point
Even more Blaster Blade calling
Future Knight is confirmed to be the new RP crit.
But its vanilla
Makes sense GC is about time travel
Soon user V ZTB will be GCs sub clan, you can screen cap this
New trailer for EX
youtube.com
Already 1 trailer up on CANCELLEDFIGHT minuszero
are we never going to get forerunners back? I miss my grade zeros having cool effects
Probably not.
The current G0s are too good
Why isnt that good anymore?
+2-3 to soul is pretty fire
Because Happiness Collector exists.
Too RNG based and you'd rather just take the free draw
archetype restricted to an archetype that is garbage now
This is correct
Acellet at it again
At least the accelet brings lewds
force"chads" don't have a lewd artist
cute!
>Commercial songs
>Vanguard EX Theme song
>Next Opening
>Next Ending
>Next Ending after that
So Argonavis is Vanguards main band now or something? Did they finally tire out all the loli idols?
Likely trying to get the band a popularity boost before giving them their own mobile game
Argonavis is part of Bang Dream which is this huge conglomerate of Bushi owned bands. Roselia and Raise a Suilen which have already done some theme songs for VG are part of it. Poppin' Party is another one that's done songs for Buddyfight. Argonavis is the latest male oriented Bang Dream band. It's unlikely they'll be the only group and the other bands will continue to rotate doing songs for VG.
V silver thorns are pretty inevitable
V Luquier soon
>V Silver Thorns
Considering that the third Crit trigger for Shadow Paladin is a Revenger, I wonder if we'll get all the "subclan bosses" back (except Murakumo) for the AL4 Retread set
Probably. It's not like DI and PM have much to choose from. Unless they make completely new units like for DP then we'll most likely get Amon and Luquier.
Today's CotD is more Blue Wings
Blue Wings of Resonance, Maxios (R)
Grade 1 / 7000 PWR / 10000 SLD / Boost
Auto (V/R) 1/Turn : When your drive check reveals a Heal trigger, Stand this unit.
CONT (R): During your turn, if you have another rearguard with "Blue Wing" in its name, this unit gets +5000 PWR. If you have 4 or more rearguards with "Blue Wing" in its name, +5000 PWR becomes +10000 instead.
Bushi must have been pretty triggered that people weren't running heals in their accel decks.
were people even playing AQ?
Not really. I remember them winning some EU tournament back in the fall before people realized how good Murakumo was but that's about it.
Only bad players dropped heal triggers
>t. Naoki
OTT new support needs to be good.
Despite having so many cards it's useless because of all the high effects the other clans have.
OTT would still be a top 3 deck if it weren't for how stupid Bermuda is. Bushi just needs to hit Bermuda and it will go back to being a top contender again. I also think they're done with Magus and will be focusing on Tsukuyomi.
I just want to draw more cards.
You already draw enough cards jeez
Not enough to compete with the growing powercurve.
>play DI and Nubs
>DI needs so many combo pieces for everything
>need to soul charge obscene amounts to get anywhere, often end up losing advantage through some cost or another to get there
>finishers are still unsatisfyingly weak despite the costs
>barely any draw power, not even close to enough to help it make up for this
>and Nubs oh god Nubs
>every fucking cost is a discard
>I've never seen someone have to discard so much for so little payoff
>and this fucking OTT bitch with draw power out the ass is complaining
OTT is literally the only protect deck that pays for the protect gift it gets when ridden and you want to draw more cards?
I'm gonna say the N word
N word?
>can boost up 30-50k several times
>restand
>all sorts off bypassing gimmick
>Y-YOU CAN DRAW MORE CARDS NO FAIR
>MOM I'm not Q4 meta levels of broken!
>open with a "you're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation" line
Well I think that might be a first for Vanguard. Certainly one of the more unique ways to start the episode and take me by surprise.
>already knows how to play Vanguard
Sasuga Maki. She is slowly growing on me and I tell you I'm not one to grow attached to her type of character in anime.
>don't just call a PG like that
I know it's common sense but I appreciate how they go out of their way to say that. Beginners may not catch on to that.
GROBURU DESU. Man you just can't get away with badmouthing Vanguard in front of Aichi. What a guy.
Hell yeah it is. And I like how she's the one to say it like she knows Aichi that well. ITOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Damn that's really neat. Is this the first time we've gotten a teaching episode without skills? Aichi really brings up a good point about too much info overwhelming you, not to mention we can see Maki kind of reacting to this probably thinking she messed up in coaching the pres earlier.
I'm never going to stop hating this ugly dog. Can we please get a new Royal starter already?
I've never watched Vanguard before but I've seen porn of the main guy and the girl with pink hair. Should I watch the old series or the reboot?
Heh, he got that from Kai didn't he?
Probably the reboot just for the fact that they're put up on the official youtube channel and therefore easier to find. The original version is far superior in every way though and ultimately leads into G timeline wise(if you care about that)so if you don't mind going to sites like gogoanime or whatever to see them then go with that
I get what Aichi's going for here because in most cases you do attack the opp VG with your VG and it's simple to understand, but he should've just said when your VG attacks to give the idea that when you attack RG you get drive checks too.
Watch the new series! It's more beginner friendly I would say. You get the general gist of what Vanguard is about but you don't have to swim through as much fluff. If you end up liking it a lot then watch the original series which is longer and a bit more comprehensive.
That's pretty cool too. Actually turning the card sideways and pointing out the "shield" text is nice.
Dynamic power displays are back! And they'll probably leave again after this episode....
Ohohoho the pres is sure getting into it!
Nice Suwabe picked up on that pretty fast.
>it's a "IG 2 always existed" episode
H-hey I didn't know that until just recently either!
>Four or more bluewings.
>tfw the archtype is hueg
>tfw CB1 draw 3 is real.
>that exchange between Maki and Naoki
Yep, I think that does it. All the foreshadowing is there for Maki to emerge victorious against Naoki in their upcoming match. Hell, he's playing against Neo Nectar so he's gonna lose with Narukami most of the time anyways.
You crafty son of a bitch. I admire the will to win though.
What? Forgot all those triggers he drove check the previous turns?
Elaine is CUTE! That is all.
>Restriction list out today
Aight boys what are you hoping for?
what are you predicting?
Oh come on already. Just show BB's retire cost for once. We're gonna go through this whole series before that happens aren't we?
>hoping for?
Kill fish FFS please
>predicting?
soul-crushing disappointment
Is that a pokemon reference? Bushi confirmed for bros.
That is what we call a heal block my friends.
>Hoping for
Choice restriction with Aqua and Elly
Flame wind lion to 1 copy or restricted with V-ezel
Something to make Shadow Paladin balanced with Morfessa out
Something to make Nova's balanced with BUSTED out.
>Predicting.
Elly or Aqua restriction.
Nuba Bird restricted somehow.
Unrestricted some of the infinite combos from G like the Angel feather stand.
This. This is what it's all about. Getting more people into this great game and franchise. Here's to these threads continuing for a very long time.
Lmao is this the newest meme? BIG SHIPU RAIDO. That being said I wonder if the pres really does have a plan for success or he's talking out his ass? Guess we'll have to find out.
When are we going to get Kai's V-series theme?
Shit's gureito.
I think this is the longest episode title in this entire franchise by far. Anyways that was a fun teaching episode even if it was a bit too basic for my tastes. The student council continues to be a fun group of characters to watch. I look forward to Naoki getting his ass handed to him by Maki and Shingo getting his revenge against God Hand Eru and actually doing something relevant for once.
The only thing I can think of when seeing this specific frame is Shion going BRAVE
I don't expect anything. I would be pleasantly surprised with Bermuda getting hit in standard. Just make them nowhere near as dominating and playable and the standard meta is fixed.
What needs to get hit in Bermuda that makes it a fair deck?
See pic
Nothing is gonna happen to it though since Bushiroad probably feel like iit's ok because of Blademaster wiping the board.
Sonata should be hit too. Having multiple on a field is too OP
Both to 2 and the deck is done
They could also just hit them with a "choose one" restriction.
You can run Caro or Sonata at 4 but are banned from running the other
I’m sure it would still be playable and that’s all that it needs to be.
Expect nothing
Based accelet showing bushi you gotta give more benefits for heals
I mean why would they keep then?
>GZ
Is this google translation?
Are there any traps in Vanguard anime?

Banlist update:

Bermudas, OTT, Angels and Kagero put on watchlist for standard
Bermuda put on watchlist for premium
Also Zero still isn't dead
Stream is bad

>watchlist
What does that even mean
>still no date
Guess I'm not buying Novas.
>No changes
>Bermudas
As pissed of as I am I can understand why it's a bad idea to start making sashimi just after the set is released and kill potential sales. What are OTT and Kagero doing to warrant bans though?
>Zero finally releases after gazillion years
>It only has 5 characters
>Wait years for anyone interesting to appear
y*kes, mobilegames
Super Dimensional Robo, Daizaurus
[CONT](VC):During your turn, this unit gets [Power] +5000 for each card in your damage zone.
[AUTO](RC):At the end of the battle it attacked, if your vanguard's [Power] is 35000 or greater, [COST][Counter-Blast 1 & put this unit into your soul], and one of your vanguards gets [Power] +10000/drive +1 until end of turn.
Super Dimensional Robo, Dailiner
[CONT](VC):All of your grade 3 units get [Shield] +10000.
[ACT](VC)[1/turn]:[COST][Counter-Blast 1 & Soul-Blast 1], look at seven cards from the top of your deck, reveal up to one normal unit from among them and put it into your hand, and shuffle your deck. If you revealed a grade 3, this unit gets [Power] +20000/[Critical] +1 until end of turn.
Dainexus is in the house, I think?
These aren't gonna cut it, and Dailiner feels too boring for a DP VR.
>These aren't gonna cut it,
They are already better than normal daiyusha and the masked police G3
So what? The whole deck may as well be DI tier now.
Liner is actually a really good G3.
Easy first ride crit, secures Great Daiyusha turns, and allows you to run more G3s for the better shield values
What more did you want?
>What more did you want?
Something that actually functions in BT meta since they decided to do nothing. It's an upgrade to the deck, but the game isn't played in a vacuum. Maybe one day in a more balanced meta. At least there's a chance of them being cheap.
In a force heavy meta, something that provides extra shield and can pull PGs to hand isn't good?
>that provides extra shield
may as well be no-guard if it isn't a perfect right now
>and can pull PGs to hand
That's true, but how lucky do you feel? The ridiculously part is that could have it search the whole deck for a card and it would be in line with current power levels.
who cares about the meta
post CHADs
Also I'm apparently illiterate from lack of sleep and just noticed you can't pull a draw PG. Better hope the effect PG they get is decent.
>Loses to GAYlard
Not chad at all.
Its gonna be the same as all the others.
On ride draw 1 discard 1
>may as well be DI tier now
>tfw hearing something being compared to my main as an insult
At least people remember your clan
Nobody remembers Tachikaze
Damn this is really fucking good
This is meh
OTT is still taking 2nd place in a BT heavy meta, Kagero is a bit oversauturated but I don't think that's cause they're OP. Vanguard always does Overlord shifts
I feel sorry for people who plays the clans bushiroad conveniently stuffed into the fuck you set like they're not even trying to hide that they don't care for them. Shame too since all 3 of them have a nice unique aesthetic and playstyle unlike some of the others that have a lot of overlap between them.
Spikes is good tho
tachikaze was cool in G at least. But are they just not getting support till like November or something? the next two boosters dont have them
Never said they're bad it's just that they got shafted when it comes to support and almost no screentime in the recent anime. At least MC got one feature in the first season and another one last week, as far as I remember spikes only showed up for like a second and died instantly and not a single tachikaze unit was seen.
Tachikaze at least has a mention on the character page unlike a certain two clans
>bermuda on a watchlist for both formats
Well it's better than nothing which was my expectations so there's that.
Woah ZERO layout looks different. I like it.
Don't worry, when the Koshien finally happens you will finally see Morikawa and Izaki play those clans so Bushiroad can advertise the EB and have them job
They've been doing a fair bit of stuff in the background like the switch to 3d models for the characters out of fights
This is really good.
>Also Zero still isn't dead
You can say it how many times you want, it still wont be true
>kagero in a watch list.
>when even with the sheer amount of popularity it has, is only making up 20~ of the meta
???
