"What do you think about the existing dueling monster game?" Seahorse sat behind his desk, his fingers crossed on his chin.
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 personal opinion on the game."
"Is it about the flaws of the existing rules? I guess," Haima narrowed his eyes. "You mean, about the availability of magic cards... and about the attack limit of fusion monsters, right?"
Yu Yu was a little surprised.
It should be said that he really deserves to be the president of Haima. If the opposite is Bekas, You Yu may have begun to doubt whether he used a mind scan on himself at this moment.
Seeing his surprised expression, Haima was quite satisfied, and couldn't help but chuckle: "A first-class duelist only needs one duel to understand the other's heart. I have already roughly understood what you want to say through the duel."
You Yu vaguely felt that he had heard these words somewhere, and it seemed that a well-known Erzhuzi next door also said similar things...
Talking to a smart person saves time and effort, and the hippocampus doesn't even need him to speak to understand what he means.
"Tell me what you think, I want to hear from you in detail, and why you think so." Haima leaned back into the seat, and the old god was like an interviewer doing an interview.
Of course, Youyu had already prepared the speech, so he almost didn't write a speech in advance.
He briefly talked about his views on the attack limit of Fusion Summoning and the timing of the activation of magic cards, and cited various practical combat cases that had been prepared to demonstrate his views.
He focused this discussion on the usual use of magic cards, because that's one of the things he finds most uncomfortable about the existing rules.
According to the current rules, magic cards can be activated from the hand, immediately after being overlaid on the field, or in the opponent's turn, and even in the battle phase, when the two monsters have already fought, the damage calculation step can be activated instantly.
In this way, the role of trap cards is very tasteless. The covered round cannot be used, and it cannot be activated directly from the hand. After being drawn in the hand, it must be delayed for a round before it can be used, which makes the role of the trap card particularly useless.
In fact, Yu-Gi-Oh DM has always been like this in the early days. Most of the people who fight and use are magic cards, and the frequency of trap cards is far less than that of magic cards.
You Yu made his point clearly. He said that magic and traps should have their own characteristics, and they should be irreplaceable for each other.
The advantage of magic cards should be that they can be used from the hand immediately after getting started, but they cannot be used during the battle phase and the opponent's turn.
Trap cards can be used during the battle step and at any point during the opponent's turn, but as a limitation, they cannot be activated immediately during the set-up turn, and they must be delayed by one turn in order to function.
In fact, this is only the most basic. In Yu Yu's opinion, the activation speed of monster effects, magic cards and trap card effects, quick-attack magic and counter-trap effects under the existing rule system is also messed up.
However, the chain processing and timing of effects were originally the most complicated part of the Yu-Gi-Oh! battle rules system, and You Yu didn't expect the rules to be perfected to that level immediately.
After all, most duelists are still worried about the painful new rule of "superior summons require sacrifices", and it is indeed a bit difficult to force them to understand the high-tech concept of timing.
In this part, he didn't spend much effort to convince the president of Haima, because he soon found that the president seemed to have really reflected on this part of the rules.
However, in some parts the president still refused to give in completely.
"What you said about the need to distinguish between magic cards and trap cards, and they cannot be substituted for each other, is indeed reasonable." Haima said, "You said that magic cards cannot be activated during the opponent's turn, which is indeed more reasonable. But you said Not being able to use it during your own combat phase is ridiculous."
Yu Yu raised his eyebrows.
Is it absurd
Why do I think it's more outrageous for you to open the cover card, Su Sheng, the dead, and pit the attacking monster on the opposite side when you declare an attack on the opposite side
And about the "Attack Limit of Fusion Summoning", You Yu tried his best to get President Haima to let go...
Haima's reason is simple: "If I can attack in the round of fusion summoning, then if I fuse and summon the invincible 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon' in the next round, and attack immediately, wouldn't the duel be over in an instant
That's ridiculous! This kind of thing affects the balance too much, don't talk about it anymore. "
You Yu was speechless.
What a god, the blue-eyed ultimate dragon... You really think everyone uses 502 glue to fuse the three white marriages and one and glue them all together like you
And three blue eyes and one fusion... What is there to be proud of when changing four cards to a white board with an attack power of 4500
Not to mention others, you played like this when you were dueling with the king, if you stepped on a sacred shield - mirror power or magic tube or something, wouldn't it explode on the spot
However, Yu Yu couldn't help but admire Haima, at least he seemed to be a conscientious president who was trying to balance the game.
This is the first time he sees someone adding restrictions to himself on the grounds that "such rules will make me too strong", which is in stark contrast to the company where he traveled through a former game director who could only "So Cooooool" all day long and the game balance was indescribable...
However, Yu Yu still did not give up. He tried his best to explain to Haima that the method of fusing the "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" with his hands requires a lot of cards to be consumed, which is inherently a high-risk behavior, and it should have a high reward.
Or it would be better to say that you can use four cards to exchange for an ultimate dragon in one go, but you can't attack this round and can only wait for the opponent to solve it in the next round, which is called serious imbalance...
As a result, Haima rolled his eyes: "Humph! Destroy my 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon' in one round? That's impossible!"
You Yu: "..."
"There is no need to continue discussing this point." Haima waved his hand, "If I can attack immediately in the round of fusion summoning, doesn't it mean that I can use the three blue-eyed white dragons to attack first, and use the fusion handle during the battle phase. The three bodies fuse into the ultimate dragon and then continue to attack? Do you think this is reasonable?"
Is it reasonable? Certainly not reasonable.
... So you fucking deleted the rule that "magic cards can be activated during the battle phase" for me, Soul Dan!
You Yu discovered that even a super genius and top duelist like Kaima Seto, after all, had long been accustomed to the existing framework of dueling monster rules.
He was willing to listen to himself and make so many changes that it wasn't easy. However, some long-term habitual thinking has caused Haima to not be on the same channel as You Yu in many parts of his thinking, and it is no use talking to him...
In the end, You Yu put forward the concept of "battle rewind".
This concept has indeed aroused the interest of the hippocampus.
"During the battle step, if the number of monsters on both sides changes, can you reconfirm whether to attack or not?"
Haima held his chin in thought for a while, his eyes twinkling.
"...Interesting, really interesting." He nodded and said, "This may indeed be feasible, but if it is actually put into operation, we need to consider more situations and do some tests."
Yu Yu nodded in understanding.
Testing is definitely necessary for such an important change to go live. However, judging from the interested reaction of Haima, he felt that there should be some drama.
However, Yu Yu immediately thought again... Will Haima be trapped by himself after the battle is brought back to this concept
For example, the famous anime scene he made up in his mind before...
…
Dark Game: "I use 'Sky Dragon of Osiris' to attack the 'XYZ Shenlong Cannon' on your field!"
Haima: "Hahaha at this moment, I activated the 'Warp Matter Teleportation Device' to remove the monsters on my field from the game! The Sky Dragon has lost its attack target, and your attack is invalid!"
Dark game: "Haippo, didn't you read your own rules carefully? The moment you removed the monster caused a 'battle rollback', I used the sky dragon to attack directly, you lost the seahorse!"
Haima: "Nani, I forgot! Damn game ahhh..."
…
Hmm... Shouldn't it
"A lot of your ideas are very interesting," Seahorse said, leaning back in his chair. "I can see that your understanding of dueling monster cards is extraordinary... different from some mortal duelists who have no talent."
(Patting the table in the city: This is going to be hard, right?)
Although Kaima Seto is very stinky and looks arrogant anytime and anywhere, in fact, he is relatively easy to communicate only when facing people who have gained his approval.
For example, the Muto game, his self-confessed number one enemy.
Although Haima always likes to be cynical and sarcastic every time he sees the game, and disdains the friendship that the game pays attention to, but whenever the game encounters any trouble, the president is the most positive, and at the same time, he always likes to say something, "Don't get me wrong. It was because of XXX reasons that I did it and didn’t intend to help” and so on.
"Your suggestion has given me a lot of inspiration. The rules should be adjusted again before the game starts."
Haima said, paused, and a sharp light shot out of his blue eyes.
"...I originally wanted to invite you to work at Haima Company and be in charge of the planning and adjustment of the dueling monster department... But forget it." He hummed and smiled, "I know a duelist like you will not be moved by money. , and will not want to be tied to the hippocampus group."
You Yu: "?"
What? Why not
Gan! President, you are tempting me with dirty money! How can you give up without even trying
Are you still a real duelist
"However," Haima said after changing the subject, "the rule adjustments you just mentioned will require a lot of testing in the follow-up. Time is tight, I can only postpone the Duel City competition for a week at most, and the rest of the time must be completed. All tested and adjusted.
So if you're interested, I'd like to invite you as a special advisor to the Dueling Monsters department to oversee this part of the corrections and make sure there aren't any loopholes in the new rules.
This job does not require you to stay in the hippocampus group all the time, nor does it require you to report to work every day. I just need your opinion and your deep understanding of this game.
I don't trust so-called professional designers to make a duel monster game the way it should be, I need a real duelist to do the job. "
Yu Yu probably understood.
In fact, Haima hopes that he can make a name in the department and make real-time adjustments to the follow-up rules of dueling monsters. After all, there will be more and more new cards, the game environment will continue to change, and the rules will need to be adjusted accordingly.
And if he can be named as a consultant, he is equivalent to the communication link between the Nightcrawler World and the Haima Group, and the task given to him by President Tang Zejia is completed, killing two birds with one stone...
Just as he was thinking about it, You Yu listened to Haima and said again: "As for the salary, because it is only a special consultant, it will naturally be relatively low. If you have no opinion, the first month's salary will be this amount..."
The president pushed a cheque that was apparently already prepared down the table.
"No problem!" You Yu glanced at the check hastily and agreed immediately.
Remuneration? Hehe, he doesn't care about this kind of thing at all.
The reason why he accepted this job was to live up to the expectations of the president, and for the future of the card game duel monsters!
... But then again, President Haima really gave a lot...
