Talk:Slifer the Sky Dragon (original)

Ruby
Well it appears the ruby text is wrong on this card too. It says てんくうりゆう tenkūriyū instead of the correct てんくうりゅう tenkūryū. I am aware that furigana (ruby) can be written like this, especially in older text, but Konami doesn't; it should be changed. Please, admins, correct this. Rainyday2012 14:39, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Fixed, thank-you for pointing this out.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 14:43, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Resistance
The alternate lore is incomplete: Control of this card cannot switch. This card is unaffected by the effects of any spell and trap cards that do not designate a target and cannot be targeted by spell or trap card controlled by your opponent. This card is unaffected by the effects of any effect monsters that are level nine or lower. Any card effect that affects this card is negated at the end of the turn it was activated. --Dragonking 03:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Did you get that from the show or a video game, because for each god card their have been many different effects. Dmaster (Contribs • Count) 10:22, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * (note) Slifer's ATK and DEF are equal to the cards in your hand. ssbm427 20:03, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It should say that any monster who's attack or defense points are reduced to zero by his effect are destroyed.

Arabic Name
I wanted to add the Arabic name for this card, but since the page is locked I'll list it here. Slifer the Sky Dragon (Arabic: سلايفر التنين الفضائي) Translated: "Slifer, the Spacial Dragon" -- Melik el-Al&#39;ab 19:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Italian Name
I cannot edit this card's main page, so i'll write it here. This card's italian name is "Slifer, Drago del Cielo". The english translation for it is "Slifer, the Sky Dragon". --Cercatesori 12:03, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Anime Name
Is the Anime name for this card really Silfer the Sky Dragon? -- Melik el-Al&#39;ab 15:10, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Singaporean English Anime, yes.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 17:30, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Slifer in WC 2008
In ''YGO! WC 2008'' Slifer was made availible for download on July 12, 2008 and is a Limited card. I can't edit the page to include this information, so can someone with the ability do it? And on a sidenote, have the other Egyptian God Cards become availible to download in the past?

Arabic Name Update
I'd like to request that the Arabic name be updated as follows: Old name = سلايفر التنين الفضائي New name = سلايفر التنّين الفضائيّ Change & Reason: Added few extra (very small) characters. Assist in pronunciation. The character is named "Shadda" for those who are interested. -- Melik el-Al&#39;ab 20:22, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Name Changed, thanks.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 20:52, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Real Game Effect
First of all, let me make it clear that I know that Slifer is not legal in the real game. However, my friend insists that he should be able to use the God Cards and has tried to build his deck around them. We've tried to agree about what the effects should be, but usually just go with the anime. He's not that great of a duelist, but whenever he does manage to get the Gods out, no matter what cards I have, I can never seem to beat them. I'm asking for a universal opinion of what Slifer's tournament-legal effects would be, based on his effects from the anime. I'm asking for Slifer's because his are the hardest to get around (based on the anime). The anime effects are obviously broken, so make them realistic. Resul 03:21, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * You're in luck. Konami has revealed their in-house effects for the Gods, first appearing in WC08. In addition, legal Obelisk, and likely the others, will be out in Japan soon, most probably with these very effects. Slifer's goes:

"You must offer 3 Tributes to Tribute Summon this card. The ATK and DEF of this card becomes the number of cards in your hand x 1000. When this card is Special Summoned, it is sent to the Graveyard during the End Phase. While this card is face-up on the field, it cannot be targeted by Spells, Traps, or Monster effects. Additionally, when your opponent successfully Summons or Flip Summons a monster with 2000 DEF or less, it destroys that monster."

Enjoy. Rodtheanimegod4ever 03:36, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright thanks man. I looked at all the alternate effects on this site and several others, and the WC08 effects looked the most appealing, but I guess I just needed someone else to make the decision for me. Alright cool thanks.Resul 22:42, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

what effect
how many attack points does this monster have? it says on the page that there are like 5-10 different ways to calculate it.--Blueyeyesawesomedragon 20:04, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

They just went WAY too far...
...with changing this card name. Yah, let's ruin a cool name such as Osiris just for a unecesseary inside-joke and name it after an executive producr no player knows or cares about. Because it's hilarious! (sarcasm)

Ok, outside of the ranting, what was the point? Why to change its name so unecesarely? The fact they got control of what to do with the TCG cards doesn't give them right to abuse like that.

I sorta agree if you're gonna make an Egyptian god card name it after an Egyptian god! (ex: Osiris) not the executive producer! Though I do agree that if the person died or contributed a lot to the show you should honor them.--Blueyeyesawesomedragon 00:24, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
