About Me:
Name: Steve Flores D.O.B.: 07/29 Hometown: Jacksonville, NC, U.S.A. Currently in: Chicago, IL, U.S.A. Ethnicity: Half Japanese/Half Mexican Deck(s) Used: Six Samurai, Mixed, Dragon, Machine/Morphtronic "I'm a very open, laid back guy, being a Leo. I do like to listen to old school rap, y'know, when it actually meant something? Not about effin prostitutes and gettin' crunk. I also listen to most Metal, Rock, Hardcore, Techno, House and everything in between besides Country and Jazz. I was originally born in Jacksonville, but I practically grew up in South-East Chicago, so I'm a Sox fan. Technically, I'm a Chicago fan, but I prefer Sox over Cubs =]. I don't like ketchup AT ALL. I'm a freshman in college, majoring in Graphic Arts/Design and hope to become an art teacher down the line. Also, I'm taken, by one of the most amzing girls I know, so yeah, sorry to all you chicas out there haha. About the deck I use, I mainly use my Six Samurai, but I've also built a mixed, dragon and a machine/morphtronic deck, but the last three are still very incomplete and come nowhere in comparison to my Six Samurai deck, which took me essentially from the end of June to get to where it is now. I also have a side deck that, I feel, meets the requirements to counter some of the more popular decks out there, such as Dark decks, Zombies, Monarchs, etc., and even convert into a Synchro Sam., though that type of deck turns rather slow, and I don't really like to use it much, if at all. Now, if you'd like to duel me via Xbox Live Vision Cam, my gamertag is xNAx Japxican. Send a friend request telling me you found me on this wikia and you want to duel. I also have a webcam so if you'd like to duel via Yahoo! Messenger, my sn is xx_a_sacred_goodnight_xx.

History as a duelist:
I began dueling when it started to become popular, when I was about in 5th-7th grade. I used to have all the original cards, Dark Magician in that wierd tinted green version, Toon Monsters, y'know, when the metagame was EXTREMELY SLOW compared to how it is now. I dropped dueling in 8th grade, sold my cards, even game them away and jeez do I regret that. I recently picked up dueling again after some of my friends had started playing again and well I was bored so I wanted to give this another shot. I started with a Burn/Volcanic deck, but that was short lived due to its slow play, inability to defend against Synchros, partially because I didn't know what Synchros were, and basically no defense or strong point. I later sold that deck and used the money to buy some Gold Series 2009 packs, which is how I learned about the existence of the Six Samurai. Months of dueling, 98% of that getting my butt handed to me on a silver platter, I developed strategies I never imagined would exist in Yu-Gi-oh! back in the day. I learned how to Synchro, adapt my deck to face specific archetypes and now, I'm better than some of my friend who have been dueling months, perhaps years, prior to my re-involvement. That's about all there is to tell about me and Yu-Gi-Oh!, so whenever you're ready, I'm ready, just send the invite and let's duel! - Japxican
