TheKaitoKid Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I couldn't find a topic for this or where to put this so I stuck it here. Does anyone else think that Xyz are inferior to Synchros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Xyz are proving themselves to be a vital aspect of the meta, the same as Synchros. I actually see more Xyz than Synchros these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synchronized Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Xyz and Synchros are a completely different mechanic. Xyz are very control based (for the most part) and definitely require more skill in some cases than Synchros do. You can't introduce a new mechanic and expect it to rule the game completely from the getgo. Even when Synchros were first released, a lot of them were far less good than the ones we have now.

This Account is Unplayable Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 The two are really virtually incomparable. They have different aspects of design for the most part, and they have different mechanics. They both, however, play a tremendous part in the metagame. They each have their own perks and downsides. So far, though, I'd say the good Xyzs are almost as good as the good Synchros, if not just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 It depends more or less on the situation. Most Xyzs are better than Synchros in certain situations and vice versa. But Xyzs are becoming more and more dominant in today's Meta, with all those staple Xyzs that you find (Leviathan, Leviair, Utopia, Gachi Gachi, etc. etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Xyz monsters are still fairly new. As stated, we just need to wait a while until we get stronger ones. (Aside from Leviair, Chain, Utopia, and Emeral, of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Zero Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 There is only 1 [i]great[/i] Xyz, and that is [b][u]Vylon[/u][/b] Disigma. Synchros are generally better, but that's because Konami made broken ones because they had no clue what they were doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greiga Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Synchros are made for exploding the instant they appear. Xyz are made to gain advantage/momentum and then keep it. There is a difference between them. Xyz seem to be more friendly to the game though, as opposed to how synchros broke everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
