evilfusion Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Better than Cannon Soldier, inferior to Shadow Priestess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I was watching this video the other day, and this guy made this exact move: Summon Stratos -> Next Turn he summoned this and attacked directly with 3200, then tributed both for the 1500, and did a total of 4700 in 1 turn. It was hilarious. Also, Amazon[i]ess[/i] Archer has always been female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Archer deals 1200. Someone in that video messed up (or you recited the numbers back wrong). But why it was named Amazon Archer, we dont know, since it gets Amazoness support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Megacyber Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I remember i got it in the first booster i bought (1st edition LON). In these days it was considered an awesome card. Now i don't remember why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Pretty sure Amazon Archer came out several sets before Amazoness was known for being an Archetype. Even though "Amazoness Archer" was named "Amazoness" in Japanese, they probably just localized it as "Amazon Archer" unaware that it would later belong to an "Amazoness" archetype later... maybe >_>; Frog the Jam and Frogs in general are also oddly named. They basically switched "kaeru" for frog with "gaeru" for toad. Pretty sure our "Frog" archetype is supposed to be a "Toad" archetype instead, and "Frog the Jam" is correctly named as Frog.

Same concept for other words that start with ha > ba, sa > za, etc. It's still the same word. Just helps Japanese people make it flow better.

I never really got that far in Japanese where combining two nouns would produce a hard sound like that x.o; That or i don't remember it. It was only one semester after all. I didn't stay in that college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehmani Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 It has always been female, it's just that calling it Amazon Archer rather than Amazoness meant they had to add another line to each Amazoness card saying "search for 1 'Amazoness' card or 'Amazon Archer'". So upon the release of Gold Series 3, they corrected it and corrected the OCG. Simple. OT: Meh, next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time this was released, nobody knew the Amazoness archetype would be released, which is an excuse for Friend-Slaying Knightess having been renamed to The Unfriendly Amazon. The episode that introduced them aired after Labyrinth of Nightmare was released in the US, and the US series called them Amazons. Since no one knew the archetype would be later released in Magician's Force, they adjusted the English cards to include Archer. Konami couldn't have predicted their release, and probably left them as Amazoness like in Japan to avoid controversy involving US players debating whether of not The Unfriendly Amazon can be a possible target for the support cards.

-Berserker- Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Depending of the build, Cannon Soldier MK-2 can be better than this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
