Transcripts

so we're just going to keep milking this

video topic

right right but at least I'm doing

videos

again your

Bo what is up guys this is lyo coming

here today with uh more discussions on

Konami and how they're failing

everything and it's all the worst but in

all seriousness no one game is perfect

you know even even Lano have had arates

already in in certain cards and that a

lots of people are actually quite happy

with but it shows that no one company

can get it right first time can hit the

the the ball out of the park they're you

know immune to to criticism they're

immune to doing things wrong that's just

how the world works and that's totally

fine I don't think anyone would be

disappointed upset with Konami if they

got something wrong and then they said

yeah okay fine we got that wrong but I

think that's one of the hardest things

for companies to ever do it's very rare

that a company come out and say they've

done something wrong if they haven't had

the most ridiculous amount of backlash

they're losing Revenue they're losing

face in the community or whatever it's

normally because people are kicking off

there is never a proactive reason to do

it or at least I've never seen them do

it so today I actually want to talk

about something that I've been thinking

about a lot it's it's one that a lot of

people have in the Forefront of their

mind right now it's one of the biggest

talking points and it will be for quite

a while until we get the Forbidden

unlimited list at the end of this month

as I'm recording this on the 2nd of

August in this video I want to talk talk

about five areas that I personally think

Konami can work on uh and address uh to

to fix the states of the game to fix the

mentality that people have but also

improve their their Yu-Gi-Oh Aura in in

the west so in no particular order and

in no ranking of order of high important

because I personally think these are all

extremely important to me the first one

that most people talk about is prizing

so obviously prizing is always been kind

of an issue for Konami there's never

been cash prizing in there so I kind of

just don't really want to talk about

cash prizing I've spoke about it enough

I'm fine with it not happening you can

get a monetary value out of products in

other ways so obviously you need to lean

on the secondary Market a little bit

more but that's totally fine because it

gives you the option to keep it or to

sell it when you have a game that you

need to spend money on your own

hard-earned money to then play in a

tournament to then you know rise up the

ranks and and win that tournament let's

say or even just come in the top cup if

the money you've spent on just your deck

to play in that tournament and to win it

pales in comparison to your winnings

you've got a problem so the fiend Smith

engines and and decks you know that

they're around five to to 500 to 1,000

let's say um to to actually build the

deck if you just do all the lowest

Rarities and all this stuff it's around

that let's say because obviously the

extra deck is expensive the fiend Smith

cards are expensive snake eye stuff is

expensive ensive um let's just take that

one for example because that's probably

where it'll be Tempi is one of those

that does kind of have a bit of a unique

point because it's it's a fairly cheap

deck in comparison to fiend Smith but

let's use fiend Smith because it's very

rare you get a temp pii topping as in

like that type of like cheap deck going

above and beyond and Topping if my deck

costs 10 times more or or five times

more than what I'm getting in return

what's the point like what is the actual

point in me playing for the glory great

the glory doesn't really really do much

to be honest because while that's all

very well and good it means that okay

well if I if I want to actually try and

get some monetary value out of this if I

actually want to make it worth my while

I probably have to do other things so

there is a bit of exposure obviously

because you'll either be on stream or

whatever I can do a YouTube channel and

people can come watch my deck profile

and I'll get some pitiful amount of

revenue from YouTube to to do that if I

have got an established YouTube channel

already if I haven't then it means I

have to make that video and then loads

of other videos to meet YouTube's

criteria to be the you see where I'm

going with this it's effort you've

already put all the time the work and

the effort into actually topping the

event to learn your deck to learn the

opponent's deck you've won a dice roll

enough times that you've gone first and

that means you just probably win a

little bit but is it at least helps and

you need to understand how to play the

deck cuz when you go second that's

that's when the problem is but if I've

spent my own hard-earned time my own

hard-earned money and I don't get

anything in return that's a problem how

you fix it they actually don't really

need to do too much they just need to

offer a lots of things that they do for

the side events for the main event why

is giant cards not in in the you know

contention for the main event like you

just do like an exclusive giant card for

first and second place it's not or or

you doing exclusive giant card and then

oversized card for seconds or something

like that you know oversized for like

the top yeah top eight top four can be

like or top two can be giant top eight

can be oversized you know things like

that we had Starlight sheets like uncut

sheets where did they go what about

quarter Century secret red uncut sheets

but the these things like are are not

really that hard to do because they've

done them for quite a while it is really

bad when your side events that are

arguably easier to win because there's

less people and it's shorter shorter uh

tournament have better prizing than than

your main event so you fix that more

things like the uncut sheets you do the

giant cards these are things they're

already doing they just need to change

their format a little bit the

accessories is something I think they

need to do a lot better with their

accessories are poor like I don't I

don't think anyone can can you know

really disagree with me they're poor you

have third parties and other companies

like Pokemon doing this like this is a

Charizard deck I wasn't even intending

to to show this and I wasn't really

intending to talk about uh accessories

here we are this is something off their

just website

you can buy

like Konami where is your version of

this instead they've uh built or or it

said oh we're doing a double deck box

this year for our world championship

qualifiers exclusive accessories uncut

sheets Giant and oversized cards are

just some of the smallest things you can

do and please for love of God get rid of

the Nintendo switch it's actually quite

embarrassing to be given a Nintendo

switch as a prize cuz how old it is and

how pointless it is no one really

actually wants to buy it so you're kind

of stuck with it and if you are selling

it you're selling it probably at half

the RRP so yeah you need to stop with

that I think pricing is actually one of

the easiest things they can fix because

they already do a lot of it um they just

need to change the format second in my

opinion is card Rarities now I did speak

in quite big like long detail to be

honest about this uh in in a previous

video that I uploaded so I want touching

it too much uh as you can check out that

video but honest opinion is you follow

the ocg format of uh core Rarities in

the ocg format for example if we take

fien Smith from from their sets um fi

Smith was printed in multiple Rarities

in the set itself didn't need to wait

for a rarity collection or anything like

that it was printed in Ultra secret uh

what was it Ultra secret and uh quarter

Century rare yeah the their fiend Smith

uh engraver is like £19 on eBay you know

you take into account that that

inflation on the eBay Market because

obviously it needs to be imported to

answer forth so you can get it cheaper

in Japan yeah imagine that fi Smith

engine for like 50 Quid if you make the

cards more accessible because you print

them in multiple Rarities within its own

core set it means that you hit all of

the player bases it means you hit the

people who don't want to spend that much

on it you also hit the Rarity collectors

who want to have those super shiny cards

not a problem you also make it more

accessible because of the the the latter

points and it makes it fairer because it

also works for the secondary Market it

also works for the retailers it also

works for the the backpack vendors it

works for everyone because you now have

more products that people want that hits

a wider audience and not just the top

people who want that themi Smith

engraver in secret rare or in quarter

Century secret rare you now have lower

and mid tier people who actually want

the ultra rare because it is more

accessible and then it obviously is very

healthy in regards to just the amount of

interaction people will have with OTS

stores with the vendors so on so forth

again quite a simple thing they already

do it in the ocg next up is something

that is a bit more difficult to solve

and that's card design I will do a

separate video on this one but quickly

touching on it card design lingering

effects with no requirement to activate

uh or or no no re no like kind of

requirements or or activation costs

Dimension shifter spooky Dogwood draw

and lock bird all those things draw Lo

slightly different you have to add a

card but you you get my point cards that

you can just drop with no skill the only

skill you have to do is draw the card

and even then that's just completely

look based these days any card that

shuts the off your opponent from playing

because you activated it with no

interaction is a problem the mul armies

are new ones now Maxi in the ocg is one

of those you stop printing cards like

that and if you want to print a card

like that you do it within an archetype

that requires setup that's the only way

you do it because because your opponent

can at least potentially interact one

card trade off hand traps like ash

Blossom effect veiler in my opinion

they're fine leave them they're fine

because it's a one for one typically you

can take it into account you can play

around it same with niru yes it is a

board wipe but you can play around it

bake into your plays card effects or

Monster effects within those five

summons that's totally fine if you

overextend and get hit by niir in my

opinion that's fine because it's just

the way that the thing is but when

someone activates Dimension shifter on

you and you have no response because

it's in your draw phase or standby phase

or whatever yeah that's kind of sad the

whole point of the game is to interact

it's an interactive card game it's not

Solitaire so stop printing cards that

make it solitire the fourth area is

communication uh Konami have

particularly been awful with a capital H

you know what I mean capital A awful

they are terrible at communicating with

their player base historically they used

to do dated forbidden limited lists at

one point very briefly they did

explanations as to why uh cards were

were hit in certain ways and why they

weren't and then they went silent on

that they stopped doing that they then

got rid of the dates and said well we're

not actually going to give you dates

we're just going to mysteriously drop it

on you which is terrible in my opinion

cuz you can't plan for anything and

there's been so many instances of where

there have been tourn tournaments coming

up where a Bist has been dropped or they

don't know if a ban list is going to be

dropped no no communication so they

can't plan to it and then when one is

dropped but they say oh well actually

it's not going to be in in effect till

then put it in effect after that

tournament that tournament becomes

utterly pointless why does anyone want

to watch an old format it's just really

bad communication and then you look how

they run their their social media

platforms it looks I'm really sorry but

it looks like it's run by junior staff

like a junior social media person

because there's just no proper

interaction with the community they

schedule posts they really do much more

and and it just looks kind of poor the

one area that I think is good in regards

to communication is the stream setups

especially on the European side like the

communication back and forth on there is

nice I think that is something they

should be commended for the European lot

have done a a lot over the years to

improve and I do commend them for that

but then that nicely brings me on to my

fifth Point that's marketing they're

mark

marketing it annoys me it really annoys

me from someone who has a big interest

in marketing in general the way that

marketing is done I've always liked that

area I think they're poor again I go

back to the social media thing and the

lack of communication they do crossover

quite a lot but their marketing is poor

from every aspect to be honest they

occasionally spin up some product videos

that look quite cool that you know it's

like a 20 30 second like short

essentially where they'll they'll do a

spin of a card and all this stuff and

and that's it and then they Outsource

all of their well the vast majority of

their product announcements to to

content creators which is not a bad

thing don't get me wrong that is not a

bad thing but marketing isn't only about

products marketing is about promoting

your game promoting the players inside

it promoting the formats promoting

alternate formats just everything about

your game from here to here this is the

start of yu-- this is the end of

Yu-Gi-Oh and everything in here is

Yu-Gi-Oh it's about advertising this one

of the biggest things that I don't think

they do very well at all they try they

occasionally do it but it's poor is

promoting individuals in the game uh

what individuals do I think uh well

people that they like but you can start

with your pro players they used to on on

the live streams they used to do

interviews with previous uh world

champions or previous uh European

Champions or tops or anything like that

but I watched something that came out

the other day from Pokemon where they

did uh a two to three minute video and a

profile on their previous players

favorite players uh so Wolfie Glick for

example uh they they did a video on him

and the quality is just great it's

really nice to see I think it shows that

there's a history to your game it shows

that there's a development of people who

grew up with Pokémon they they they grow

up with it they flourish with the game

it's a big part of their life and it's

something that makes other people want

to get involved because they go well I

seeing his barrier to entry was super

low he was just watching Pokemon when he

was uh getting his haircut and that's

how he fell in love with the game when

you see professional players at the High

Caliber and you think how do I break

into that how do I you know get to where

they are cuz we're all playing this game

for some form of Glory there is a lot of

us who really want that I think it's

it's it's fair to say when the barrier

of Entry looks so high it can be

discouraging so bringing people down to

the level of look well this is how I got

into it I'm no more different than you I

just have a couple of years on you those

types of showcase videos are really

important and I think they can do that a

lot more with the products videos I

think they can do a lot more as well

again I spoke about this in a previous

video they can simply either do podcasts

they can invite people they can get live

reactions they can do it at tournaments

one of the coolest things I think that

they can do is at a big event uh World

Championships a Euros ycs world

something like that why not show people

a card a brand new card and say this is

a new card coming out what do you think

of this live reactions that's an entire

video people love seeing people's

reactions whether someone says this C's

don't like it why the did you

print that guess what you can edit it

you can edit that out totally fine I

think it's super important to have those

types of interactions and Creative

Marketing directions to keep your game

healthy and to keep people interested in

it because that's how you draw people in

now I know that someone in Konami

headquarters would turn around and say

well yeah our numbers have never been so

good yeah that's great your grumblings

have never been so high there's always

formats where people dip in and out

there's always game mechanics where

people dip in and out it's totally fine

the difference is your pro players your

biggest names are leaving in troves and

that's just how it is there a certain

irony that I've started doing videos in

people what people will call some of the

worst formats it's just where we are I

think those five areas if they even

address each of them in just the

smallest ways it will really help people

just want to see progression people want

to see that's a mistake yeah we'll look

into it that's a mistake we we we'll

look into something else we we we

understand you don't like it that's fine

and I thought that they they were

getting it a little bit but when there's

just silence it's really irritating I

know a company like that can't have

daily interactions with the community

I'm not asking for that there have been

so many Rumblings for the longest time

where they don't address it it's it's

just really bad honestly I don't think

they have the right people in certain

areas in the company to be able to make

those changes from from a North American

side and from a European side if I want

to be Cutthroat and honest there are

people working there that I don't think

are the best people for the job should I

say they should be gotten rid of no not

at all because they still have a lot of

experience I think they need support and

they need help no one person can fix

these issues no one region can fix these

issues and I know that there's the whole

Japan thing but I I I think that's

starting to get into crisis Point what

will happen is that while their numbers

are currently high in regards to to

tendance I think they're going to have a

higher turnover of players which means

there's going to be a lower quality of

your uh uh entrances to tournaments

which will make live streams quite

boring it's just one of those things you

need to keep the player base happy and I

know you can't keep everyone happy which

is fine I'm not asking you to keep

everyone happy I'm not asking you to

print qcr School servants to keep me

happy I'm just asking you to address

some of the most glaring problems in

this game and I think everyone will

appreciate that more than they think and

I'm kind of talking directly to Konami

who will not be watching this video just

start addressing some of the points

start acknowledging some of those things

you'll be surprised at the reaction

you'll get just from just look at your

social media post on the Forbidden

limited list saying look we get it but

there's not going to be one until the

end of end of August bear with us look

at the positive reaction from every

angle that you had from a simple social

media post that is it that should have

been the it's that simple that's

all they want right yes that is all we

want simple communication understanding

that you're not in some Ivory Tower you

can talk to us that you can address some

of the problems and you can say yeah

we're looking into it that is the first

step to fixing what is going on now cuz

if you keep just doing what you're doing

I don't know what's going to be left I'm

enjoying the game uh not the format uh

not not the card effects I'm enjoying

getting back into thinking about

Yu-Gi-Oh again when all the videos that

keep all the discussion is being

eclipsed by the games crap I hate hate

this format hate this lingering card

Effect kind of destroys my creativity I

might dip out again so I want to know
