So we are at the point where a large chunk of players from the first couple weeks are starting to hit level 80. Whales had already been there for awhile, but now we are seeing diligent f2p hitting the mark, and the amount of level 80s will only increase.
Is it time for a level cap increase to 90? Or perhaps some kind of prestige system so that max level players can still get value from daily XP?
Will they listen? Probably not. But we won’t know if we don’t try.
New character idk who, and Kalin/Crow alt styles + Yusei and Jack simultaneous rerun
Bronk with Utopia, Yusaku with Borreload Furious Dragon, Akiza with Stardust Dragon, are there moments that go harder? I think not.
Pure comedy moments like this are what keeps me with the game, imagine sitting through all this, only to watch your opponent hand the win to you because they don’t know how to play without their skill doing everything.
Funniest part? This happened to me TWICE during worlds, though the second time was against Kluger.
So while organizing my childhood collection, I realized I didn’t have a PSV copy of Buster Blader. Since it’s my childhood collection, I was OK with it being an unlimited copy. However, I did want a proper 2003 copy without the EN set code. So I order it, and when it gets here, i immediately feel something is off, mainly I can tell it’s a newer era print quality, but that shouldn’t be possible on a pre-EN card. I also notice it has PSCT, circa 2010. At first I panic, thinking I got scammed with a fake, but I did a little more digging.
Tewart, in his infinite knowledge, had LOB, MRD, SRL, PSV, DCR and IOC reprinted for the 2010 Legendary collection set, but WITHOUT the EN set code, but WITH 2010 PSCT. Now, that’s a non issue for SRL, because if you want proper vintage for that set, you buy MRL copies. For the others? It means there is basically two versions of the exact same set, which can only be identified by PSCT changes, and for foils, the different, shinier style of foil they swapped to in the late 00s.
As a perfectionist, I just can’t tolerate it in the binder. The newer print quality stands out, as does its lack of word words words original effect text.
Been collecting since nearly the start of the game, and this is something I only just now discovered in 2026.
First pic is an original, unlimited Buster Blader from 2003. Second pic is the 2010 reprint. Notice the PSCT. The foiling is different as well, but that’s a detail that only shows in person.
