Chapter 57: New Rules
"What do you think about the existing games of Duel Monsters?" Seahorse sat behind a desk with her chin crossed across her fingers.
You Yu entered the door generously, dragged away the chair that was obviously prepared for him in front of the desk and sat down.
"That's right." He said, "A little bit of a personal opinion on the game. ”
"Is it about the flaws in the existing rules? I guess," Seahorse narrowed, "you're trying to say when magic cards are available...... There's also a question about the attack limits of fusion monsters, right? ”
You Yu was a little surprised.
It should be said that he really deserves to be the president of the seahorse, and he really expects things to be like a god. If it was Bekas, You Yu might have already begun to wonder if he was using a mind scan on himself.
Seeing his surprised expression, Seahorse was quite satisfied, and couldn't help but snort: "A first-class duelist only needs one duel to understand the other party's heart. What you want to say, I already have a rough understanding through the duel. ”
You Yu vaguely felt that he seemed to have heard this somewhere, and it seemed that a well-known second pillar next door had also said something similar......
Talking to a smart person is a saving time and effort, and you don't even need him to open your mouth to understand what the seahorse means.
"Tell me what you think, I'd like to hear you say it in detail, and why you think so." The seahorse leaned back into the seat, and the old god was acting like an interviewer in the interview.
Of course, You Yu had already prepared it, and he almost didn't write a speech in advance.
He briefly talked about his views on the attack limit of the Fusion Summon, the timing of the magic card activation, and cited various practical cases that had been prepared for a long time to prove his opinion.
He focused the discussion on the usual use of magic cards, as this was one of the places where he felt the existing rules were the least accustomed to playing.
According to the current rules, magic cards can be activated from the hand, can be activated immediately after covering the field, can also be activated on the opponent's turn, and even during the battle phase, the damage calculation step of the two monsters has already been engaged can be activated instantly.
In this way, the role of the trap card is very chicken, the covered round cannot be used, can not be launched directly from the hand, and must be delayed for one turn after the hand is drawn, which makes the role of the trap card seem particularly wasteful.
In fact, Yu-Gi-Oh DM has always been like this in the early days, and most of the magic cards used by everyone calling around are magic cards, and the frequency of trap cards is far less than that of magic cards.
You Yu made his point of view clear. He said that magic and traps should have their own characteristics, and that they should be irreplaceable for each other.
The advantage of magic cards should be that they can be used from the hand as soon as they are played, but they cannot be used during the combat phase or on the opponent's turn.
Trap cards can be used at any point in the battle step and the opponent's turn, but as a limitation, the covered turn cannot be activated immediately, and must be delayed for one turn in order to be effective.
In fact, this is just the basics. In You Yu's opinion, under the existing rule system, the handling of the activation speed of monster effects, magic card and trap card effects, quick attack magic, and counterattack trap effects is also a mess.
However, the chain processing of effects and the timing problem are the most complex parts of the Yu-Gi-Oh battle rules system, and You Yu doesn't expect the rules to be perfected to that point immediately.
After all, most duelists are still worried about the new rule of "superior summoning requires sacrifices", and it is indeed difficult for them to force them to figure out the high-tech concept of time.
He didn't spend much effort convincing President Seahorse in this part, because he soon found out that the president did seem to have reflected on this part of the rules.
However, in some areas, the president still refused to give in completely.
"What you said about magic cards and trap cards need to be distinguished and cannot be substituted for each other, which is really reasonable." Seahorse said, "You said that the magic card can't be activated on the opponent's turn, which is indeed quite reasonable. But you say that you can't even use it in your own combat phase, that's ridiculous. ”
You Yu raised his eyebrows.
Is it ridiculous?
Why do I think it's even more outrageous for you to open the Gaika dead Susheng and pit the attacking monsters on the opposite side when you open the attack declaration on the opposite side?
And then regarding the "attack limit of fusion summoning", You Yu tried his best to make the president of the seahorse relent......
Seahorse's reason is simple: "If I can attack in the round of fusion summoning, then if I fuse and summon the invincible 'Blue-Eyed Ultimate Dragon' in one round, and immediately launch an attack, wouldn't the duel be over in an instant?"
That's ridiculous! It's too much of a balance to talk about. ”
You Yu couldn't help but be speechless.
The god is a special backhand blue-eyed ultimate dragon...... Do you think that everyone is like you, and they use 502 glue to fuse three white marriages and one fused together?
And three blue eyes and one fusion...... What is there to be proud of if you change a whiteboard with an attack power of 4500 for four cards?
Not to mention others, if you play like this when you are dueling with the king, if you step on a sacred shield-mirror power or magic cylinder or something, won't it explode on the spot?
However, this made You Yu can't help but look at Seahorse with admiration, at least he really seems to be a conscientious president who is trying to balance the game.
For the first time, he's seen someone put a limit on himself with the argument that "such rules would make me too strong", in stark contrast to the fact that he traveled through a company where a game director could only "So Cooooool" all day long, and the game balance was difficult to describe......
However, You Yu still did not give up. He did his best to explain to Seahorse that the method of starting to fuse the "Blue-Eyed Ultimate Dragon" requires a large number of hands, which is inherently high-risk behavior, and it is also desirable to have high rewards.
Or rather, it is better to use four cards in one go in exchange for an Ultimate Dragon, and as a result, you can't attack this turn and can only wait for the next turn of the opposite side to solve, which is called a serious imbalance......
As a result, the seahorse rolled his eyes: "Hmph! Get rid of my 'Blue-Eyed Ultimate Dragon' in one turn? That's impossible! ”
You Yu: "......"
"There's no need to go on with that." Seahorse waved his hand, "If you can attack immediately in the round of fusion summoning, doesn't that mean that I can attack with the three blue-eyed white dragons first, and use fusion to fuse the three bodies into the ultimate dragon during the battle phase before continuing to attack?" Do you think it makes sense? ”
Is it reasonable? Of course it doesn't make sense.
...... That's why you ™ deleted the rule that "magic cards can be activated during the battle phase" for me!
You Yu discovered that even a super genius and top duelist like Seahorse Seto had long been accustomed to the framework of the existing dueling monster rules.
It's not easy for him to listen to himself and make so many changes. However, some long-term inertial thinking has caused Haima to not be on the same channel as You Yu in many parts of his thinking, and it is useless to talk to him......
Finally, You Yu specifically proposed the concept of "battle rewinding".
The concept did pique the seahorse's interest.
"During the battle steps, if the number of monsters on the field of both sides changes, can I reconfirm whether to attack or not?"
Seahorse held her chin in contemplation for a while, her eyes flickering.
“...... Interesting, indeed interesting. He nodded and said, "This may be possible, but if it actually goes into operation, there will be more scenarios to consider and some testing." ”
You Yu nodded in understanding.
Testing is definitely necessary for this important change to go live. However, judging from Haima's interested reaction, he felt that there should be a play.
However, You Yu then thought again...... Will the battle bring back the concept to the seahorse and trap itself?
For example, the famous anime scene he made up in his brain before......
......
Dark Game: "I attack the 'XYZ Divine Dragon Cannon' on your field with the 'Sky Dragon of Osiris'!" ”
Seahorse: "Hahahaha, at this moment, I activated the 'Subspace Matter Teleporter' to remove the monsters on my field from the game!" The Sky Dragon has lost its target, and your attack is invalid! ”
Dark Game: "Seahorse, didn't you read your rules carefully?" The moment you exclude the monster caused a 'battle reel', I attacked directly with the Sky Dragon, and you lost the seahorse! ”
Seahorse: "Nani I forgot!" Abominable game aa......a
......
Well...... Probably not, right?
"A lot of your ideas are interesting." Seahorse leaned back in his chair and said, "I can tell you have an extraordinary understanding of duel monster cards...... Unlike some mortal duelists who have no talent. ”
(Slap the table in the city: This stubble can't get by, right?) )
Although Seahorse Seto is a stinky fart and looks like no one is in sight anytime and anywhere, he is actually relatively easy to communicate with only when facing people who have his approval.
For example, he thinks of himself as the number one arch-nemesis, Muto Games.
Although Seahorse always likes to sneer every time he sees the game.,Disdain for the friendship that the game focuses on.,But whenever the game encounters any trouble, the president is the most active.,At the same time, he always likes to say something like "Don't get me wrong, I did it because of XXX, I didn't mean to help" or something like that.。
"Your suggestion has inspired me a lot, and the rules should be adjusted again before the tournament starts."
Seahorse said, pausing, blue eyes shining with a sharp light.
“...... Originally, I wanted to invite you to work in Seahorse Company and be responsible for the planning and adjustment of the Duel Monster Department...... But forget it. He smirked, "I know that a duelist like you won't be moved by money, and I won't want to be tied to the Seahorse Group. ”
You Yu: "? ”
What? Why not?
Gan! President, you're tempting me with dirty money! How can you give up without trying?
Are you still a real duelist?
"But," Seahorse said, shifting sharply, "the rule adjustments you just mentioned will take a lot of testing. Time was tight, so I had to postpone the Duel City match for a week at most, and I had to complete all the tests and adjustments for the rest of the day.
So if you're interested, I'd like to invite you as a special advisor to the Duel Monsters department to oversee this part of the amendment work and make sure that there are no loopholes in the new rules.
This job does not require you to stay in Haima Group all the time, nor does it require you to report to work every day. All I need is your opinion and your in-depth understanding of the game.
I don't trust the so-called professional designers to make a game of Duel Monsters the way it should be, and I need a real duelist to do the job. ”
You Yu probably understood.
In fact, it was Seahorse who hoped that he could make a name in the department and adjust the follow-up rules of the duel monster in real time. After all, there will be more and more new cards, and the game environment will continue to change, so the rules will need to be adjusted accordingly.
And if he can put on the name of a consultant, then he is equivalent to the connection between the Nightcrawler World and the Seahorse Group, and the task assigned to him by President Tang Zelu will be completed, killing two birds with one stone......
Just as he was thinking about it, You Yu listened to Haima say again: "If the salary is concerned, because it is only a special consultant, it will naturally be relatively low." If you don't have an opinion, that's how much you get paid for the first month......"
The president pushed a check that had apparently been prepared down the table.
"No problem!" You Yu glanced at the check hastily and immediately agreed.
What is the salary? Hehe, this kind of thing he swims someone doesn't care about at all.
The reason why he accepted this job is to live up to the expectations of the boss and to the future of the card game Duel Monster!
...... But then again, President Haima really gave a lot......
