Because Formula Synchron is good and Shooting isn't invincible?

Formula lets you draw when it's Synchroed, and can Synchro with anything during your opponent's turn. Shooting Star...isn't invincible.

Did you make a sarcastic remark at me, or did you miss what I said and agree with me?

Scar-Red Nova Dragon is definitely [u]not[/u] better than this. Shooting Star protects all your cards from battle as well as effect destruction which allows many strategies normally not viable. Scar protects them from battle, but only itself from effect destruction.

But what's more important is the fact that, though they're about as hard, or rather easy compared to what you get from it, you'll lose less advantage along the way when you're going for Shooting Star. This is due to Formula Synchron, of course.

Shooting Star protects everyone but only once per turn.

Red Nova protects itself from destruction effects indefinitely.

We should stop the Scar vs. Star debate because EVERYONE HERE knows Yusei would beat Jack.

What is more pressing: can either of them make a stand against Machine Emperor [s]Weasel[/s] Wisel and company?

If you have something this strong out, you'll need to focus more on other things and not on one great monster. A single D-Prison means it's gone. Yugioh isn't really a game where you rely on invincible monster, so shared protection is a lot more useful.

The anime versions of SSD/Scar vs the anime Machine Emperors?

Or the RL vs the RL?

Or the RL vs the anime?

1- yes

2- Only because the RL Machine Emperors aren't very well protected, unlike the anime counterparts.

3- Uh...no, not at all. The anime lets them RFG themselves at times other than attacks, and the anime Emperors have Wisel Guard or Skiel Carrier to defend with, and no one in RL is going to topdeck 5 tuners without serious BS. Funny, the Accel Synchros exist specifically to counter the Machine Emperors, but fact is, they really can't. In other words, the RL incarnations of the Accel Synchros lack the countermeasures to face the Machine Emperors without being absorbed.

Problem is Stardust already does that and that really holds it back. The trade up from normal to Shooting isn't much at all. You get so little out of summoning this that it just isn't worth it.

They really need to add the word "additional" to the first effect.

Divine Serpent is terrible?

but anyway, my point was, relying on one monster was EVERYONE'S strategy in the anime

(reminds me I forgot Toons and Exodia Necross)

Divine Serpent is extremely terrible. You lose if it's destroyed, and it has no protection that would prevent that.

Scar-Red Nova is clearly superior when you test out their individual decks. Shooting Star's requirement on Synchro Tuners in turn requires 1 Level 1 Tuner and 1 Level 1 non-Tuner. Flamvells fit Scar-Red like a glove. It's far more useful. Shooting Star is certainly cooler, though.

To be fair, Flamvells can summon Shooting Star too...

But, for shooting star, you are required to run Baby : \

Scar > This, but a simple RFP card can handle him no problemo.

Needing to protect Stardust from battle is actually a problem I'd be happy to get rid of.

Yes, that's demotivating but it doesn't make it any worse.

What if Shooting Star Dragon had THIS effect:

"1 Synchro Tuner Monster + "Stardust Dragon"
You can activate each of the following effects once per turn:
● Reveal the top 5 cards of your Deck, then shuffle your Deck. During this turn's Battle Phase, this card can attack once for each Tuner Monster revealed this way.
● You can negate the activation of a Spell Card, Trap Card or Effect Monster's effect that would destroy a card(s) on the field, and destroy that card. [b]This effect is treated as Spell Speed 3[/b]
● When your opponent [b]activates an effect which targets this card[/b], you can remove from play this card to negate and destroy that card. If this card is removed from play this way, Special Summon it during the End Phase.

Worth it now?
it could easily trounce Machine Emperors like this (which is what it is supposed to do)
