Forum:How's your side of the CG?

Hi, it's Hide Head Turtle here. I've started this so that everybody can share what their side of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game scene is like. It doesn't matter if your are in the TCG or OCG. Just share anything. I'm pretty sure everybody here, like me is curious about the different backgrounds of the game.

I just hope that everyone can ''':Sign your posts with ~

Are there any duelist on this forum that entered or at least witnessed any TCG National Qualifiers, Regionals, Locals or SJC tournaments?--HHTurtle 10:50, June 8, 2010 (UTC) Please do share your experiences.

I found out that we have a User with us that knows Arabic, Melik el-Al'ab. I hope he share a bit about his background.

To the Singapore duelist, can you tell me a little about the Sing OCG there. I'm going to Singapore in a few months and I'd like to know more about the duels there.

To the Malaysian duelist, I 'm from Sabah, Malaysia. The OCG here is weird. I also want to hear about the other places.--HHTurtle 10:50, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

You're from Malaysia also? I am also from Malaysia too, except I am living in the Western part of it, in Selangor more specifically. As for the Card Game, I am not very well versed, because I get my Yugioh knowledge from videogames and articles. Sorry there's not much informational help I could give though.

That's cool. Do you people there have a serious game shop where everybody gathers there to play occasionally?--HHTurtle 04:19, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Here, in SG, those damn birds are everywhere. On occasion, you'd see a Lightsworn user or so. Infernity is hard to come by due to its high cost in construction. We don't have official tournaments, just small ones that are hosted by small shops scattered around the country (not the big ones like Comics Connection, that place is horrible for good pack prices). Duel Terminal cards are banned in those tournaments unless they have been reprinted in a non-DT set (like Ally of Justice Catastor). Oh, and we value OCG cards over TCG cards too. --Gadjiltron 10:00, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Wow, very interesting. Here in Malaysia, it's almost the same. We rarely have HUGE tournaments mainly small ones. Even if there is one, it'll most likely be in West Malaysia. People in East Malaysia, like me don't get a lot of action.

The meta here? Those damn birds, Machina Gadget, Infernities and Quickdraw Plants. Infernities and Quickdraw are rare. You occasionally find someone using Lightlords, Tele-DAD and Synchro Cat. Either they didn't get the memo that they are dead, or they are trying to revive them.-- HHTurtle (Talk) 10:09, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Belfast, Northern Ireland
It's fairly standard up here, people just run whatever decks are winning major tournaments, such as Blackwings, Infernities, Machina Gadgets, Quickdraw Dandywarrior, Gladiator Beasts, and so on. There are still quite a few Lightsworn users. It's pretty competitive here, most of serious duelists will be dueling almost everyday Hebi No David 11:54, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Here's a word from Greece! It's effing full to the brim with new stuff here! We've got Frog OTK's, Frognarchs, Infernity OTKs, Dragon Exodia, Citadel Explosion OTK, the ever-present Blackwings, XX-Sabers, Machina Gadgets, Junk&Debris, Spore Plants... maybe too many to keep up xD. I'm trying to build as many of them as I can, but I'm running out of tradable cards O_O. I believe Frogs (OTK) are the most threatening, with Infernity OTK a very close second (because of easier side-deck options against them). Keep the input coming - nice to see what's the situation for all fellow duelists! --Darth Covah (Talk | DeckZone | Binder) 22:36, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Nice to see some users from the European TCG here. Wow, it seems that you guys are in a more competitive environment. It's quite slow here. Do you you guys meet up at the local hobby shop, cafe or school and hold regular duels?

To Gadjiltron: Greetings from up North!!! Are there any other Singaporean duelist here?

Malaysians also often use OCG cards. One of the main reason is that a lot of it came from Singapore. Ask any serious Malaysian duelist and they can tell you that a lot of their stuff came from outside of Malaysia. Some have yearly pilgrimages to Japan, Korea, Singapore, etc... Some just trade online. It's weird how most of the merchandise from up north, Japan, bypass us and end up in Singapore.-- HHTurtle (Talk) 11:30, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Little Bump
Just giving this thread a little bump. I see that Hong Kong already have a National Champion. The 2010 Malaysian Championship will start on the 27th of June. Excited about that although I won't be there to see it. It will be a single elimination tournament. Why would they use that format? I don't know.

Once again, everybody is encouraged to share anything and everything here.-- HHTurtle (Talk) 08:04, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
