Calling Arc-V/Yu-Gi-Oh fans, I need help settling an argument with my sister (we are both Yu-Gi-Oh fans).

She claims Yuya and Yugo are weak duelists and that Clear Wing is the worst out of the four dragons. That Action cards are stupid and if it weren't for them Yuya would lose, a lot. She said that if Yugo had Yuya's brain then he would be better (not too sure what to think about that part in particular).

Now personally, I agree with that, I mean Yuya is a good duelist and all but I've been using his deck in Legacy of the Duelists and unless you get a hand where the monsters work together- you're screwed.

I believe Yuto would be able to defeat Yuri, obviously it would be one hell of a duel, but I wholeheartedly believe Yuto would be much more likely to defeat Yuri than Yuya would.

My sister also claims that speedroids suck, that Yugo is the worst our of the four. I just think logically, he and Yuya are pretty even, but each to their own.

Another thing that we argued about was that Kaito Tenjos' Galaxy Eyes deck is stronger than the D/D/D archetype.

I disagree.

Look, I have no dohbt Galaxy Eyes is strong as hell, (I've only seen Arc-V Kaito), but the D/D/Ds seem to have an answer for everything effect wise.

But I also haven't seen Zexal, and apparently the cards/effects are a bit different. Also the whole "if he had this card" and "if he used that card" (like Jay, no, hand is a hand).

I believe Reiji's archetype is stronger than the Galaxy Eyes deck, but then she also mentioned something about number cards, that only a number can defeat a number.

I'll leave that up for discussion.

Urgh, and we also talked argued about the most powerful summoning method (because I didn't really know how Lonk summon worked), she says that XYZ summoning is the strongest.

I argued back that what's so good about being able to use an effect twice (I know here are cards that give you more overlay units or whatever) and sometimes they're not even that good? She claims that the cards in the anime are different.

Personally, I think either Synchro or Fusion is stronger. I like Pendulum, but that's been called the fake summoning or something along those lines.

I want to know your opinions, do you agree with my sister?

Do you agree with me?

Or do you have another thought and disagree with both of us?

In terms of personal skills, I always feel these are pointless discussions honestly. All four know how to duel and make combos, they're all good duelists, they could probably beat each other depending on certain conditions. Doesn't really matter who beats who, they all good.

Galaxy Eyes and D/D/D for meta, I think fall in same case as the above four. End of the day, none of these 6 come close to what is currently the meta or has been for a while.

Number card rule is anime only and is effect based. Many times they were defeated by non-numbers by negating the effect. Plus Kaito doesn't use Numbers that much. Reiji has negates, regardless.

As for summon method. Xyz is actually usually considered better I believe. Links are best as of now, Pendulums were broken enough to be nerfed. Keep in mind, the effects of Xyz aren't always tied to material(Most of the time they are, but a lot of times they also have one effect unrelated). Plus, there are a lot of powerful effects for Xyz Monsters out there, and they are mostly far easier and more splashable than the powerful Fusions or Synchros. Fusions ultimately are considered weakest as you generally need a Fusion card, and usually more specific material. Synchros need a tuner and you need to add up to the end level. Xyz you just need to match, which is pretty easy for a deck focused on that method. Albeit, Rituals are probably worst as they are similar to fusions needed a spell but also are in main deck. Although there's a few good decks out there. In the end, depends on the deck. Although Links and Xyzs are generic enough to be splashed in most decks. Synchros to a lesser extent, but Fusions are a rarity(and in most cases are in fact used just for material for one of the others).

In the end, Arc-V is full of great fun characters. Unless it's Jean Roget, there's not much room for getting worked up over disliking any characters. Yu-boys in particular are all great(Albeit, Yuri is a sadist so you probably don't want to know him in real life).
