The Yugioh Card Duel Arena 9.0

No matter how many times you upgrade your decks you are bound to come across someone will a better deck. It is simple fact that any deck has a better version somewhere out there. And Jaden your gonna quit? You do realize that if you quit your gonna have to stop being Jaden once and for all? Because if your not here someone else may want to be Jaden. I know that the arena isn't really used for duels anymore but that doesn't change the fact I am the Bastion of this arena. And your the Jaden, In the show he only gave up once and that was after Haou. But Bastion talked him out of it. And I will try to do the same but if you do quit it would mean your not the guy I knew.

 

But you don't know the real me. Neither of you do. I suck at everything and always have.

Regarding not being Jaden anymore yes I am aware of that. But that doesn't matter to me because you've clearly got somebody who can do a much better job of it than me now.

Also the site is acting glitchy for me right now...I can't see my alerts or use the PM box...

 

Yes I have seen what you mean about the site but Jaden I can say the same thing about myself. I am sure that there is someone who would be a better bastion than me and I can say no one here really knows me at all. But that doesn't change the fact that there are a few people here who would want to know the real me just like I am sure you know I'd want to get to know the real you since I already consider you a brother.

 

That's a good point. You're right. I hadn't thought of that.

Still I don't feel like I'm very good at this game at all and I already told my gf that I was quitting Dueling for good and I don't wanna end up lying to her...

 

one of my theories were that maybe the people who told you you sucked at everything in the past gave you the idea that you sucked at everything, and now you subconsciously give up before trying even when you think that you are trying, but you're actually not. if we can get you over the idea that you suck at everything, you may be able to actually do things. I say we should eliminate that memory of yours >.>
I assume you're influenced quite easily since the same exact thing happened with you and slaughter as well. all we need to do is take out the old one..

 

I am not very good anymore either but I am still gonna try you should too. Infact I know Jaden I challenge you to a PM duel right now! I'll even use the deck I made two years ago just to face you with.

 

Somehow I knew you'd say something like that. Maybe someday I'll give Dueling another shot but I don't feel up to it at all right now. And I really need to go to bed now and relieve my stress.

 

Wrong.
when you reach the point where your deck is complete, you wont find any other ones better than yours. what you may find are decks of the same archetype but with a different playstyle that may be equally as good as yours.

 

Thank you for your concern and for trying to help me. However if you watch me do something and then go on Youtube and see somebody else doing it I assure you you'll see that they're far better than me at it...

 

For gods sake Jaden Stop with the self doubt **** already!
When I dueled here I did nothing but lose! yet when I duel else where I win more than I lose. I can't sing yet I write song lyrics. I have no real life friends yet I have many online ones and my life stinks! Yet i am trying to fix it!
Let me quote something I once saw on this very site.
"A man has only one life but history can remember you forever"
Answer me this Do you want to be remembered as the Prat your acting like now or the guy you really are?

 

1. they may have practiced a lot before doing that because you obviously wouldn't make a complete fool of yourself on the internet for all to see unless you don't mind.
2. you are still influenced by the past, so of course. the idea of you sucking at everything still lingers in your subconscious mind. we'll need to test how well you do after you've completely stopped thinking that you suck.

 

Spoiler

No this was a random half built poker knights and hero deck

First of all, fixed, second of all:
| |Dude, I am really working. Like every day training against Brook Rienzel, Terra, and my friends at school. Putting limits on myself and forcing all sorts of tricks I never even knew could be done to pop out of the proverbial hat. Before this training and work I've undergone I was so bad that I was even beat by newbe's to the game and I've been playing for a long time, so I had to work rediciously hard. You still beat me using one of my best dragon decks I had ever made, and that was saying something since before I even had Hero's, I had dragons and ran them. I have tried many other deck types and Hero's just work right with me. I honestly have gotten better because I have been working hard and no offense, I'm saying this because I care, you haven't. I don't need to know all the cards and strategies and yet now I'm a match for Brook, who is one of the best I've faced.
| |You just need a system that works for you. Maybe its my mentality as a player of BeyBlade (Yes, I can feel the hate now). Its my never ending want to know all of the ways I want my Blade to preform its best and challenging even the toughest odds and being willing to accept defeat and even people better than I as good lessons. The old saying goes that you loose more in victory and gain more in defeat. I honestly love loosing. It may sound stupid, but if I face a good duelist and win, its amazing, and if I face an amazing duelist and loose, its just if not more amazing to me. I didn't know I had asburgers until I was 13, but I never let that weakness stop me. I just though of it as another life experience and let it guide me. I allowed my heart condition get in my way of physical activity, but that is another story for no time. I loose, I'm bad at what I do, I am barely skilled.
| |These are things I know about myself, but then I think about how far I've come and I know its not myself. Its all the friends, rivals, victory's, and losses I have been dealt in life. All the crushing truths, all the not so little white lies. I let it fuel me. I, myself am bad at what I do, but everyone in my life, you, me, Rafael, Brook, Fred, Rienzel, Oda, and everyone else in my life is what makes me strong. In summary: I dealt with the cards I was dealt. I am not one of the best Blader's in Vegas . My friends, rivals, enemy's, and experiences are. The same could be said in my dueling ability, Hell, even my disability becomes one of my best weapons because I don't let it be a bully to me. I think you can do the same. You just need to loose the idea of letting these things crush you. Yes, YOU suck, YOU are bad ad everything, yes, YOU are disabled. But no YOU don't put the weight on your shoulders with your experiences and use it to help you grow. Every defeat I've been dealt has strengthened-not me-but what I am: The embodiment of everything I've lived through and dealt with in my life. Jaden.
| |I do not mean to upset, annoy, enrage, or sadden or anything by this. Rather this is the best try I can give to try and helping you. I can't help you any more than by what I have said here. You're my friend. Your the one and only true leader of the arena. You are one of the greatest challenge's I have ever faced. This is by best shot at trying to get you to listen to me and the others. And as one infamous charterer said: "Starting a new journey may be hard. Maybe it has already started." I wouldn't have one of the fastest launches in Nevada if it weren't for my experiences. Heck, the hole reason I ended up on this site was because a friend of mine from the boards of an old site I left showed it to me.

If she truly loves you, she will understand if you decide to play again. Any girl I would have would have to be OK with what I love to do. Just make sure to tell her first or I will get pimp slapped through a screen. And at least you have HAD a girl... I am just a lonely nocturnal son of a gun.

There is an old saying: There is always someone better than you. And for that someone, another one for him. Even at the top, you will find someone will replace the other some time sooner or later.

I would say your theorie is very, very, very, solid Brook.

End line.

 

that saying is different in card games though. in card games, you're probably not the only one at the top of the pyramid. once you get to the point where you're at the top, you'll either be the only one (most likely not) or with other people who are equally as strong.[DOUBLEPOST=1354378572][/DOUBLEPOST]

when I thought of how you were putting limits on yourself.. I thought of this:

It matters not of a person's limit, but how far that person's willing to go.

by me! problem?

 

Years ago I would work my ass off to beat certain videogames. And do you know what happened? It took me years and I just barely won...But yet everybody else I see can beat them with ease and even do speedruns...

Everybody else I know can beat Sonic 1 and 2 on the Sega Genesis. But I couldn't beat those games if my life depended on it. Sonic 3 is much easier but it took me years to beat that one and I just barely did it...

And I've tried literally everything, I mean it, videogames, sports, musical instruments, everything, I suck balls at them all. Why does nobody ever understand this and think that I'm being upset and self-doubtful over nothing?

I didn't know I had Asperger's Syndrome till very late in life either. I think I may not have learned till I was like 14 or 15.

Gee I never thought about it that way...

I understand that and you have my thanks. Still am I really one of the greatest challenges you've ever faced? Really? Cuz I think you'll find that Fred and Brooklyn are worlds apart from me in skill.

I've talked it over with her and she seems to be understanding a bit more now.

I realize that yes. But how do you think it feels to be the absolute WORST at everything? When I can find just 1 thing that I can do well THEN I'll have more self-confidence.

Now regarding Dueling, as you all know the whole point of this game is to have fun. But I've lost interest now and don't really find it fun anymore. That's another thing. And I don't really know if I'll ever gain my interest back or not. Right now it seems quite doubtful.

 

I wish I could find that quote I've spoken about before...

Also, You guys need to see a therapist, Or Maki. Maki is the best therapist.[DOUBLEPOST=1354379912][/DOUBLEPOST]

Background to this post...

 

Those speed runs: After they have beat the game a few times and think they can handle it. I don't have anything I'm good at besides sword fighting and I'm still pitifully bad at that. I can't even beat the easiest speed based games. I've never beat Mario or Sonic, I never beat a shooting game and I would have never beat Demyx if a friend didn't show me how, and even then I loose to him (And he is a total wuss!) I fail in most video games. I didn't even beat Reverse of Arcadia until just last year when I got lucky! I sill can't do a speed run of Pokemon Fire Red, and I've been playing that and went through the story so many times I can actually name some of the random battle Pokemon before we even get the the battle screen.

My mother's reason for not telling me was because she thought I would use it as an excuse. I only use it to excuse my very erratic behavior to the few people I told that I trust in real life...

That's how I've always thought about it.

Not just because of your skill. Every friend I've ever made has made me work to obtain it in some way or form-even if knowingly or not-and that your skill was great. If that's you rusty, I would like to find the Lime-Away

That's great

No. I haven't. But have are you. Technically, because of the fact that their are people who don't even know how to do some of the things we do. And the one thing you're doing great at: Keeping yourself down. Honestly, I nearly died twice at the age of 3. I was nearly thrown out of my house at 4 for the stupidest reason. I lived in one of the dirtyest, disgustingest, not non-hoarding house in Las vegas. Rats were such a common site that I could (And Did) Name and tell apart each one. I had to go to sleep hoping that I wouldn't have a cockroach in my mouth when I woke up. I lived with two smokers and their cigaret smoking friends for such a long time now I wouldn't be surprised that by twenty-three if I had lounge Cancer. I was told from day one in Middle School I was descend to fail. Now I'm a Sophomore with the best grades I've had in years and I'm overall happy. I just recently survived a near death experience because of friggin' flag football and a stupid guy tackling. Am I looking for pity? No. I would rather people not try and patronize me for my past, because its what makes me stronger in the end. What is the thing in your past that drives you towards the future. If nothing, it is waiting. It will come. As to quote Soul Eater "A sound Soul, Resides in a sound Mind, and a sound Body." Something-I theorize-is making you think that you are worthless. None of us here are worth any more that that dust bunny you find in the closet when spring cleaning, but that is because our life is still going on. I've made myself happy in life because I found my drive. My hole life could be a lie, and I would still be driven by the way it taut me. In my opinion, if I could trade my life-no matter how stressful, annoying, or boring it is-for all the money in the world plus more, I wouldn't take the deal even if my being was at stake. And as for dueling, if its nor fun for you, MAKE IT FUN. Don't duel for wins, just build a random deck for SnG's and go duel people, mess around, and laugh at their confusion. Just to relive stress. And if you want to get better, I am no good at training others, but training with me *Like working together to get better* might help.

 

I am not sure what to say at this point but I will say something that may surprise you all. I am a pure Sonic fan, I have almost every Sonic game that has ever come out. Also Jaden I didn't beat Sonic 1, 2 or even three until I was 11 years old. And they came out when I was born so think about that! And regards to Star The blader thing is I am a blader too but my Dranzer is buried somewhere and I haven't used it since.
You said you have Asperger's Syndrome which would account for your problems. Yet you still beat the sonic games before I did. Can I ask how long did it take you to beat FFX?

 

Sweet jesus... Sell it on Ebay, lots of people will pay for it (so long as its in a presentable condition) or better yet, give it to me.

 

Not gonna happen I won a tournament with that blade and I'm gonna keep it forever!

 

:(
