Sometimes it do be like that.

How so?

@Mr Melon You can see the polls that I run right here. Almost every poll that I run, my opinion is either the second least favored or the least favored.

Arc-V? Not really. They're a little more flashy (especially two of those Fusion Monsters). Least Dangerous pulls off the aesthetic well. Reminds me of that crossover comic Dark Claw.

Evil HERO for me

@The Nyx Avatar That dark claw reference is actually very cool. I'll never look at Dangerous the same way again.

@Dokutah Jolly I like the Evil HEROs a lot. I wish they made more main deck monsters :/

yaaaassss queeeeeen

That sounds extremely interesting, ngl. I was thinking of something that falls in line with an old(ish?) archetype that could provide a slight revamp to it. Something like a Blackwing, Fire Fist, Cyber Dragons, Gladiator Beast card. Something that could help out an underused archetype/deck with just 1 card.

This seems like a good place to start. They've also done a BEWD+Obelisk fusion and Ra+Gilford, though they have some other fusions that might be worth a look.

I'm a big fan of b98x's work, I've been watching their works for a while now. I already created the Neos + BEWD fusion, but I'm trying to figure out the right context to release it. For a card effect contest, however, I want to make a card art that seems more realistic for the meta rather than something that just looks badass but not necessarily realistically playable.

@Mr Melon Yea regardless I'm probably going to get it since I loveeeee Sinnoh the most. Just wish it took the OR/AS remake style for this :/

Also, I love Cyndaquil but hot take: I think Typhlosion is ugly and wayyyyy to overrated

Huh, really?  I always found Typhlosion the most aesthetically pleasing out of the three Johto final evos; Meganium felt a bit boring to me and Feraligatr's sprite in Gen 2 felt like they were trying to do too much.

EDIT: Oh gosh, I just saw the 3d model for Typhlo.  Why'd they massacre my boi?

The thing about Typhlosion, is that its design is way too simple for me. If the fire on its back was always on, kinda like Charizard's tail, then I wouldn't be as critical. I personally like the Hoenn starters evolutions the most. I could pick any 1 of the 3 and I would be happy. Johto is the one I actually like the least. But I admit that I know these opinions aren't the most popular lol.

@Mr. Best Male 2008 kk

How's the contest going?

It good! Got 6 pretty good submissions. Announcing the winner later today.

Slightly related topic, is anyone keep track of our new card maker beta test? I guess we need to make it up and running for the new members you bring john. This site has ups and downs but in general this is a good idea worth trying. Make sure anything tiddy up before that IMO

Not much activity as of late in the beta testing, it seems we pretty much found most issues it has, and it's likely YCMaker is working on them. Last post from YCMaker in this regard was on February 5. Arcadia warlic asked  on February 14 if there was an estimated release date for the card maker, question that hasn't been replied so far.

@Dokutah Jolly That's nice. But I also don't have like this crazy big following on DeviantArt so I think calling it a "swarm" is overstating it by a lot lol. 

Honestly, I'm sure that most people who watch me on DA are already aware of this site. A lot of them are card-makers, themselves and often times I see them post cards with this site's card maker. 

The point of wanting to do this is to simply make them more aware of the community and layout this place has, which is why I always enjoyed this place. In all honesty, I wouldn't expect that many people to even go as far as make an account, but letting them at least know about this place is more important for me.

@Arcadia warlic he was actually my favorite character in all of yugioh manga, for me. His deck, his attitude, and everything was amazing. 

Let's see... Chazz.
Animie Chazz's Ojamas were annoying at times and prevented him from getting some cooler stuff, and I like them during the period of his arc when he's getting humbled and untapping power with their help, but at some point I think Armed Dragon should have taken a bigger spotlight as his special card. At the end that growing dragon was nothing but a cool prize set he assembled with no spirit showing up.

Chazz seemed to be built up to be the second best potential hero at the academy if Jaden ever wasn't in the picture, but his plot relevant duels other than to his brothers were actually a detriment to the plot like his brainwash by Sartorious. The series always ended up prioritizing his character growth to the detriment of the rest of the cast whenever those 2 things were in conflict. Didn't the Sacred Beasts wake up because of that duel Chazz had with Alexis? My memory is foggy on that particular. I do remember that Don Zaloog's way of resolving the Dark Scorpions gave Chazz the tools to comeback and that's like the writers going "Chazz doesn't have a possible way to come back from this if they do that properly, what do we do?" xD

I like Chazz losing to Bastion and Bastion going "that was tailormade against Jaden and isn't even complete yet lol" but Chazz should have had a rematch down the line there... they just left it at that. Well there was the Society of light duel they had later on but Bastion was gonna win and threw the game because he actually wanted to join them...... Bastion was better in the anime than the manga.

Chazz has a number of good things and planted seeds for development that for some reason almost never combined with the main plot in a positive manner for the heroes.... still, I'm curious on why so many people like manga Chazz more. I think the manga stripped him of his goofy side (which admittedly the anime overdid) and just made him "the cool rival with a cool ace". Are his brothers even part of the manga? What's his manga deal? Honestly I never found a place where I could finish reading the manga past the duel where Splendid Venus first appears so probably missing a bunch, so yeah.....  
 

@Sleepy The GX manga is the first yugioh manga I read so I may be biased when saying it's the best yugioh manga (imo). But that's the thing, what made Chazz annoying for me was when he became a goofy comedic relief. If he started off that way, I wouldn't be upset. The way his character started off in the anime was to show the distinction between class systems, Jaden of the low class and Chazz of the high class - both evenly matched (although Jaden ended up making him look like a toddler duelist).

 I think having that obvious gap between the two was important and necessary for the show. Then they humbled him from his position, which I'm fine with, but they did so and took away all this swagger that he had. In the manga, they got rid of all that and they made him the badass I felt the anime originally intended him to be.  

They also gave him a more consistent Deck style. In the anime, he was just picking up and dropping off a new deck. As you pointed, the Ojama's did no justice for Chazz. They tried making comic relief for the comic relief and it just all became obnoxious. 

The thing about Chazz's brothers though was a pretty good storyline for Chazz, I'll admit.
