Sorry to anyone who gets a crick in their neck, I don't have access to video editing software on this machine so had to just up load it straight to youtube.

Awaken said:

How is that different than any other year?

full rotation every Gencon is awesome!

just my one question is; Who, or what, is/are Grindors?

knew_b33 said:

ok then, I wasn't sure if they were recalling to a team or someone specific... like someone that is an idiot... much like the guy that told off on spot.

I do agree with his statement though about Kazuya's blowing up the world thing, but there is most likely an 'other' way to stop abilities like that from happening without Tag Along correct?

knew_b33 said:

now we have gone straight into rotation, i dont see Kazuya beeing too much of a problem, most of the decks i have seen so far from mini block only require one or two turn of set up before they start attacking, seeing as all kazuya does is restart the game staging area wise he will have to set up aswell, and seeing as that meens a few more turns of each player playing cards he will be closer to milling if that comes about.
dont forget Kazuya will be in the same boat as you after he has blown everything up.

The point about Kazuya being a "problem" is he'll spam out his hand, then blow up the world AFTER he's already done playing his crap.

Keep in mind, though, he's also limited to doing so up to 3 times per game, rarely more than that.

And he loses attack buff potential as he does so.

but what about split cards? do you believe he'll have some split attacks?

Tagrineth said:

I just read the card again. What stops him from using it more then 3 times a game. He can blow up and cycle through his deck and pull out another character card. If there is a promo of him then he could do it more then 3 times rather easily.

knew_b33 said:

Pretty sure they have done away with splits for the time being. There wasnt any in set 12 and also none in set 13.

I said rarely, not never. I used to play ***Cody*** a bit (got 3rd at the south arena showdown with him) and I don't think I ever got to use Cody's response more than three times in a game.

I think the issue will come in that Kazuya will have to be errata'd to be a first form. But we should wait on nerf calling until the set is revealed.

I think he might have been part of the reason forethought got banned. Imagine how bad that would have been if both were legal at the same time.

Maybe, but IMO Forethought got banned because it dramatically punished attacking and rewarded playing decks with 30000 foundations + 2 attacks, since otherwise you could be completely crippled on a bad roll OR a merely mediocre draw.

And I think Jin is going to be fine, blow up the world honestly isn't even that drastically powerful of an ability -- well, powerful yes, but obviously double edged as well. You can't eke out much card advantage even with foundations to help with checks, and your opponent will know full well when you might have the capacity to go nuclear.

darklogos said:

That will weaken him too much, IMO.

also, can we not cry for errata on a card that hasn't even been released yet? It's been playtested, god.

I agree with you on the nerf calling. I can wait until the end of the month to see how this plays out.

steve talked trash b/c he didn't want to answer my question, REAL TALK! i love steve, but come on son, kazuya is SO FREE.

Surprised no one threw anything...

Does anyone know if there is software out there that can rotate the image 90 degrees? I'd love to fix the video so it's easier to see, but I've also grabbed a couple of others* I'd like to put up, and of course I did them all the same as this one.

*I got the awards ceremony, though half the people had left (Antigoth, Gary, Joe and Paul got their stuff, and posed w/ "Mai"), also a little mini interview w/ one of the guys w/ the ridiculously awesome Ghostbuster costumes, and a half second clip of two droids ... before my batteries died.

I was really disappointed when I heard all the winners got to pose with Mai. It should have been Mai and Morrigan... I would've put the costume back on for that..aww
