Who is a better duelist jaden and yugi

Strings also proves to be one of the more physically intimidating characters the show offers, not because of his actual size, but because of the vivid design he is given. With the numerous piercings and the enormous boots, Strings makes an impression even without his duel disk.

It was in his duel with Bones that Joey faced the first legitimate test of his skills, and discovers that he needs to use his entire deck to beat his opponents. Bones has one of the most overwhelming advantages of any duelist on Yu-Gi-Oh!

Bones is underrated. He plays a good game and, unlike his boss Bandit Keith, he plays it fairly. Although he only appears on the show a couple of times, those appearance makes a heck of an impression.

Perhaps the most notable of these are his trap monsters, which prove to be among the cooler surprise reveals on the show.

When Odion is knocked unconscious and Yami Marik is released, we come to realize how much power Odion must have exerted to keep that darkness at bay. Besides, Odion never really cared about winning.

He was just trying to protect Marik. Even so, Dartz still proves himself to be an incredibly difficult foe, and one who requires the talents of both Yugi and Kaiba to beat. Other than the Leviathan, Dartz deck is primarily focused on the Orichalcos, and uses cards that reinforce the ultimate power that that card brings with it. All of his monsters earn insane amounts of extra attack points, and he gathers a force that was initially overwhelming for both Yugi and Kaiba.

Instead of working to debilitate his opponents, Noah spends part of his duel stalling for time and building up a massive life point advantage that becomes difficult for Yugi to overcome later. GX made the rules closer in the line with that of the trading card game, though it still diverted in some ways. Past the rules, the game became more reliant on archetype-focused decks, as opposed to the "heart of the cards" gameplay found in the first series. Yugi faced a few archetype decks in his heyday, but not to the degree prevalent in Jaden's time.

Jaden's experience with a different landscape gives him another advantage here. By holding the spirit of the Pharaoh Atem by way of the Millenium Puzzle, Yugi has the capability of tapping into a supernatural power that goes beyond anything any other player could ever imagine.

As the King Of Games, the Pharaoh is "in tune" with the "Heart Of The Cards", and that spiritual connection allows him to win virtually any game he plays. Though this point is entirely reliant on rather or not Yugi taps into Yami or not, leading to the final point While Jaden has had some plot armor moments doesn't every protagonist? Though there's an in-canon reason for why Yugi wins so much as previously stated, it was a convenient plot device to enable Yugi to win practically everything.

Take that power away though, and you have a different situation. Without access to Atem, Yugi's still a good duelist as his win against Atem proves , but he would ultimately be defeated by Jaden, who relied more on his learned skills instead of an ancient power to get where he is. My name is Thomas Lee, but I go by my middle name, Christopher.

By Christopher Lee Published Jul 11, Remember that when Jaden plays Hero's Guild, which lets both players draw a card and summon it if it's a warrior-type monster, Jaden draws Neo-Spacian Grand Mole—one of the few non-warriors in his deck. Yugi of course draws Slifer, which also isn't warrior, but this lets him send it to his graveyard, ready to be revived later.

And speaking of Hero's Guild and its numerous faults At this point, Jaden has spent episodes showcasing his deck and the various cards he rotates in and out. You'd think the cards he plays in this contest would be familiar faces, and most are, but three new spells stand out as duds that are obviously just there to allow Yugi to make a comeback.

Hero's Guild The aforementioned Hero's Guild is a luck-reliant effect that of course fails Jaden and aids Yugi, and it's something Jaden's never played before—because it stinks. Both players draw a card, can summon it if it's a warrior, and discard it otherwise. Why, after growing his deck, gradually gaining power, and showing off dozens of other cards that could have helped, incorporate such a lousy card at the very end?

To help Yugi win. Code Change Next is Code Change, which changes a monster's type to one its owner declares, which Jaden intended to use to actually make Hero's Guild work on his Grand Mole, but this ability ends up being stolen by Yugi and used to revive his Slifer by changing its type to fit the criteria of Dark Renewal. Jaden's deck not only didn't need Code Change, it ends up working against him and is yet another subtle tool to help grant Yugi an edge.

Impact Flip Finally, there's Impact Flip, yet another magic card we've never seen Jaden use, an equip spell that makes the opponent mill one card when your monster inflicts damage. Jaden doesn't use a deck-out strategy where milling is beneficial —this card actively works against Jaden, especially when it ends up sending Yugi's Archfiend of Gilfer to the graveyard by the way, another lucky stroke on Yugi's part.

To be fair, I'm not saying that Jaden doesn't benefit from anime-only effects; after all, he uses Subspace Battle, an impressive anime-only trait that helps him place three monsters from his deck to the graveyard.

But as we just discussed, his other anime-exclusive units hinder more than help him, and aren't nearly as sinful as the anime-only boosts Yugi gets. Yugi uses Mirror Force and Magic Cylinder, both impressive traps that were limited in , when the episode debuted. Technically, since limited cards allow one per deck, this wasn't cheating, but without these almost-banned units which the anime typically avoids using to prevent showing the same meta cards over and over , Jaden would have overtaken his foe early on.

More than that, Yugi's Slifer seems to lack its go-to-graveyard when special summoned downside that balances it in real life. As bad as these are, they can't compare to Card of Sanctity. In real-life, this card forces you to banish all other cards you control in your hand and needs a minimum of one to draw a mere two cards from your deck. In the anime, this card lets both players draw to six cards. This is an absolutely ridiculous effect that would be banned before you could say Blue-Eyes were it actually released, and it's just there to replenish Yugi's hand when it empties.

Without this clearly-boosted ability, Yugi probably would have lost the same way many real-life duels end—by running out of cards. He tends to build his decks with lots of balance.

I'm also sure that if he built a deck with the new cards that have come out, he would have some amazing super Deus ex Machina deck that allows him to trump everyone else. He also plays a lot of cards that give him more special summon and draw power. I think the only way Yusei could top him is that Yusei specializes in Turbo Duels, and Yugi would have to get the hang of it before hand. But in any case, I've gone on brown nosing Yugi long enough.

None of them, yugi would get blown up yubel,yugi would blow up yusei with Slifer,jaden would get blown up by savior star dragon, the end. Lol is that a joke , Yugi would win with no questions asked. I must question your statement because first you curse and then you name a kid that's, like, ten! Yugi's Battle City deck is impossible to actually win with and only won duels because his opponents were also using decks that are impossible to win with.

As for Jaden and Yusei, if Jaden was using either his Season 1 deck or his Season 2 deck, he might stand a tough fight against Yusei. I don't know enough about Yusei to give a proper opinion, but I'll say this: Yugi loses in 3rd place, and then Yusei edges ahead of Jaden to win a struggle.

By the way, even in the Doma arc, Yugi's deck was impossible too many cards, all don't connect together. Of course you could easily beat the main protagonists' decks in the video games! Because in the video games they don't have the writers rig it so that Yugi, Yusei, and Jaden always win. It's all about the writers, those three boys are literally made to win. I think YuGi will own the duel because he's not only calm but also quick response. Besides, he always has some backup plan for any circumstance And someone said that the deck he used is not balance.

Of course it's not balance but the point is that he know his deck and the way to use it! The truth is in each of their own show they would be the best. If they dueled in YuGiOh original Yugi wins, in 5d Yusei would win, in gx Jaden would win becaue the show obviously cheats for the heroe. However if yugi had the egyptian gods he would win, when I say yugi I mean the big one and the small one when they are one persone since yugi is the reincarnation of atem aka pharaoh aka yugioh they are the same personne.

But seriously the show cheats for all three. He's the king of games. And he has the millennium item so he would win. AND even if he didn't, his grampa owns a card shop he could just get more pieces of Exodia. AND with his "lucksackiness" he would be able to pull it off in like two draws.

No one seems to remember that yugi was dueling at the start with only LP at the start. Heart of the Cards with Millennium Items not a force to be messed with! We all know how the Yugi vs. Jaden duel went so if by some way Jaden beats Yusei he will still lose but Yusei has more skill then Jaden so Jaden will lose first by a land slide but the Yugi Yusei duel will be a closer match, but Yugi will come out on top as long as he has the Heart of the Cards on his side along with God Cards.

Also if they went to the shadow relm only Yugi would survive to walk away without having to duel. Jaden is a noob. So, in my opinion, Yusei will get a draw while dueling Yugi because of Yusei's Synchrons, and Yugi because of his almost never loss. I like what that one guy said back there. Yeah, has anybody ever actually gotten all the cards for any one of the three main protagonists' decks because, really, I don't think any of them has a set deck.

I think half the time the writers just add new cards on to make Yugi, Yusei, and Jaden win the duels. By the way: why do half the people on this page think Jaden is a noob. Yugi is the King of Games. If he loses, this will be bad for the first and only interesting Yu-Gi-Oh! Then, Yugi has the three Egyptian Gods, he is invincible. So Yugi will beat all his opponents confirmation in the next OAV with the 3 heroes. If Jaden use his 1st season Deck he would have won.

If I recall correctly there was no set winner although I think it was implied that Yugi won, but still. Has useless friends who always counts on him to save them Prototype for a reason.

Yugi Focuses on speed summoning with his knights and magnet warriors to create 3 tributes. Kinda, I think Smart money's on Yugi, after all he does have the God cards doesn't he? Although Savior Star Dragon can dismantal 2 out of 3 of them So there, that's proof that there are ways to destroy the god cards.

Don't get me wrong though I still think Yugi would win. The farao would win. Jaden already faced Yugi, and I can tell you right know he lost since it was Neos versus Slifer.

Yugi would probably be my vote for this, but Yusei has some skill with proof being that he wins using cards that people throw away, since he's a satellite. I also think that if Yusei plays Majestic Star Dragon , he might have a chance.

Big deal. So what if Jaden has Yubel. Ohh I got an emo psycho spirit helping me win. Jaden may have luck, but Yusei has more skill than Jaden does. Yugi has both though so I know he would win. Why do you people think Jaden relies on luck, look at Yusei - hes the one always banking on his deck! If it came down to it I'd say Yugi wins and then Jaden comes in second.

Yusei automatically consider the winner since both Yugi and Jaden didn't have their own D-Wheel to compete on Riding Duel Although Yugi has Swift Gaia Just because Jaden has uber cards doesn't mean he'd win. Yugi and Yusei have both proven that it doesn't matter if you have uber cards cause any card can be defeated. Jaden's good, but most of his good game play comes from his luck, and that only gets you so far.

Yugi would win because he has the skill and just the right amount of luck. This is because they want either Yugi to win to show that the original is still remembered or Yusei to promote the "new" show. Between Yugi and Yusei, it would have to be Yugi. The viewers would like that best. However, ignoring the writers, and if it was simply "characters do what they do on their own," it would be Yusei. Yugi's deck is unplayable by today's standards.

His key cards, Dark Magician and Kuriboh, are worthless. Kuriboh is just a cutesy card. Yusei is still good though, particularly in Turbo Duels. Lastly, we will see the protagonists debut together in the new 10th anniversary film.

Although they probably won't duel each other, we can better analyze a duel involving all of them once we actually see the movie. In real life, Yusei would win the duel but if Yugi lost, it would be a bad publicity for the viewers I think it would be a draw or somehow Yugi won but not shown just like the epilogue of Yugioh GX. Should each of the characters have access to all of their cards from both the manga's and Anime's, Jaden has the clearest advantage.

Yusei would possibly come in second, since his junk deck has some semblance of strategy too. Shadowfox , January 19, UTC. Yeah, a lot of new cards are created since the beginning of Yu-Gi-Oh and Yusei can use the most of them.

Even though i don't particularly like Yugi and i do agree Kaiba would leave with a blood stained banana; i would have to say Yugi would win because when you factor in the "King of Games" into determining what his realworld deck would be it; i gotta say it would be awesome. For me I think it's Yusei, not because of his skill because he can compromise by using various decks whether mishmash or useless I'm not bias, I have watched the 3 seasons, and played the games actually, currently playing 5d's and Gx on psp I don't have much experience but, since it was a game, the draws can either be bad or good Yusei- definitely best defense and fast summoning due to synchros Jaden- bad defense, good offense with fusion monsters and other effects Yugi- he's good I played Yusei, from weakest to strongest deck, and damn his strongest was definitely strongest I tag dueled with him, and the only way to beat him in a few turns is, wipe him out and overpower him fast Yugi, I have to agree with the mish mash thing, since I really can't find what his deck concentrates on I mean, as I said not bias, it's his deck is the problem.

I mean all duelists depends on that, I depend too much on draw especially when I'll almost lose :p so there I pick yusei due to his card connection, chains, cool defense, card combos etc To be true and honest, yusei will definitely win. I'm not biased or anything but a new gen deck is better than the first edition deck. I am not talking about Atem I am talking about Yugi the true King of Games he is known for having a very balanced deck and unlike his counterpart he can control his emotion even in a bad position.

Yusei Fudo has an very bad deck setup though it relies on Synchro too much Royal Oppression will put Yusei and Jaden to there knees. I would say Jaden would win. If and only if for one reason. He does in fact cheat. He has over cards in his deck more then 3 times the legal limit and only one copy of each save polymerization and hero kid. Not to mention he has all the Yubel forms, and the Evil Heroes which he probably wouldn't use, but he still has them.

Yusei comes in second mostly because synchro spam screws poor yugi over big time. No they aren't at least level-wise. Stardust is level 8, Dark Magician and Neos are both 7 -Just another fan. They're all pretty good duelists and any one of them is strong on their own but if they faced each other i think jaden would go down first, and yusei, and yugi would bring each others life points to zero at the same time.

Soundeffex , March 5, UTC. Then you're a true hater of them. Well, you're all actually forgetting one thing with the movie out. I mean hey, a trap card that doubles a monster's ATK? That's actually a pretty good one shot attack. Well, maybe not synchros for Judai's who knows but at least an updated strategy could do some good for him.

Yusei one the otherhand is full on all skill and I've seen enough to know that if he wanted to he could brutally own someone. Judai's got an amazing deck synergy though and his cards flow almost like water as does Yusei's. Yugi on the otherhand has a very strict "deck of glass" even as Kaiba himself says. Again according to Kaiba that if you know Yugi's strategy and you can break it off before he can pull it off, you can either totally throw him off for a split second or leave him totally open for the kill.

Ruining one core piece of Yugi's deck can just totally mean the end for him and I think that's what everyone's getting at here. And yes, they have ZERO synergy. Yusei and Judai however can very easily switch into another strategy or have several other reliable monsters in case of such an incident.

That's just strategy though. I'd say there, Yusei and Judai tie, and Yugi dies. Now on power, yes Judai fans Judai totally wins there. Yes it's granted that Yugi has god cards but several Neos fusions can easily go over attack points and Judai I believe has a monster destruction spell card. Since Gods are affected by spells YES they are go look it up if you don't believe me he could take them out, as could Yusei.

Yusei could have a shot in power but his cards are more focused on just defending before he totally destroys the opponent's strategy and goes in for the kill. Yugi would actually in my opinion be second in power if anything for some of his more powerful monsters and of course the Egyptian God Monsters. With power and strategy aside, there comes the final element being just the opinion. So with these factors I say:. Really, just a flat out draw. Yusei has way to many defenses that could keep him going FOREVER, Judai's power could hold him out for a really long time, especially if he manages to call out Yubel or Neos Wiseman and Yugi well, he's just epically lucky like that.

In the end the final result would be either Yugi or Judai would probably summon some godly monster of monstrous attack strength and just as it's about to nail someone Yusei pulls a defense card that most likely ends the duel in a tie, some other circumstance occurs that forces the duel to end like perhaps the 3 rivals wanting a piece of the action or they could be gay like they were at the end of GX and blank out the screen and just vaguely hint to us what happened.

Point taken. However, even then the two could update their decks. I still think it would end in a draw though cuz even the mightiest of defense walls must come down And luck would only get Judai so far and well, I think I've already explained Yugi's problems. Pharaoh is a God. It's not luck, and it's not "heart of the cards" more like heart of the duelist anyway. So, obviously, he'd win hands down. Atemu, with his final deck, or his regular deck "updated" would be the winner.

Yugi's deck was built specifically to counter Atemu's deck, so that's why he won that time. But I think older Yugi, with an updated deck would stand a very high chance of winning against Yusei or Judai too. Yusei's deck is just as much a mishmash of cards as Yugi's is, it's just a centralized strategy for syncro support His only adaptability comes from the various syncro monsters he can summon.

Judai's deck is the most adapatable out of them all, but the most reliant on luck he has WAY too many cards in it, and it's loaded with single circumstance support cards. If luck was on his side, He'd come very close to defeating Yugi or Yusei, but if luck favored them all equally, he'd be the first to lose. As much as I like Yubel, I have to say it, Judai's deck is the worst of them all I truly don't know. I've been watching the whole Yu-Gi-Oh!

They are all great at dueling duh, that's why they have their own series and if they were dueling each other, it'd be epic. Are we forgetting that the rules during Yugi's time were very sketchy. Remember, there was even no such thing as quick play spell cards. I can just imagine it now.

Yugi goes " What do you mean I can't activate Monster Reborn during your turn? Every character in the Anime and Manga wouldn't have a chanse against any player in thae reality. The only players that would have a small chanse is Andore, Crow and Kiryu just because of their decks.

Yusei plays a crap synchro deck, Jaden plays a forgotten archetype and Yugi play a random deck. Yugi and Yusei only win on luck, neither of them is good. Btw, Crow missplays a lot against Bommer I dont know the dubbed names, the dubbed versoin suck. If I had to pick any of them it would be Yusie, because he can syncho summon. Ancientgearking , April 21, UTC.

He has the Egyptian Gods and he believes in the heart of the cards. The Horror ' Speak if you dare. It depends. If the creator of Yugioh make all three of them duel each other, its pretty obvious that yugi would win. In real life it would end up in a tie. I think they are beatable if today's duelist in real life dueled them. Lets all be honest here, the original is the best. And also as you guys say atem, I say yugi as he is the only character who can take on all three god cards in one go.

Judai and yusei are cool in their own way but until they are staring down the major plot point for about four seasons straight and win, then I'll change my mind but for now, the little awsome that is Yugi Motou is who I'd pick.

I guessed. Unless all of his tuners were clusterfucked pardon my French together, which can happen when half of the cards in his deck are tuners, I myself have built a Yusei deck with all cards one of each up to TSHD, except Power Frame and the deck really relies on what your starting hand is.

We say "Destiny Draw went down to 5 dollars!! Yusei ftw because he obviously has the most combos. Jaden's the coolest though. And Yami Yugi's classic, which I respect, but he doesn't come close with his dumbass useless Normal Monsters.

Yusei, hands down. While Judai and Yugi have luck, he's the only one with real skill. Yugi, yugi has the worst deck of the three and only wins because of the cheap god cards that almost never have the same effects N00B yes i called the king of games a N00B duelist. Look im sorry to say but who ever posted this is an idiot, yusei has the best deck out of both of them by far, neo spacians are terrible, I'm not joking there actualy terrible and for you too say they are better than yusei deck is just silly.

I mean most of them go back to the extra deck once summoned and their effects aren't even that good. We all know in a duel yusei or yugi would win with jaden being at the bottom all the time. First of all yugi deck is pure ass because most of his monster dont have effects and yusei is just pure ass him sefl because his cards effect are so dead on to what he need which i say is bull and luck.

Yugi's deck has some of the most essential yet powerful cards in the game such as Mirror Force which the other two respective decks lack since they are of a different focus.

More and more combos became possible asthe long, original Yu-Gi-Oh! Jaden's Elemental Hero deck is amazing, though I must admit the the later-added Neo-Spacians are really, really bad.

Nevertheless, Jaden can access and utilize several great ablities unique to several of his different Heroes. He also has many archetype-based support cards to help he get all the cards he needs. I'd say that Jaden's deck, minus the neo-spacians and plus some more Heroes , would stand a very good and equal chance at winning a duel. Yusei's Synchro Deck is amazing if used properly. Yusei is definitely a competent player. Still can't beat Kiaba at screwing the rules though.

Is this the longest discussion ever because this is like World War 2 or something jeez. Billy decks were never really that impressive though. Only because has Synchros and the other two have fusions. Yusei would run all over them with his synchros or syncrho fusions.

No Way! I'm not sure. Yugi hasn't had a chace to update his deck, Jaden, with these new Elemental Hero fusions would do tons better. If you put Jaden and Yugioh in Yugi's time, Yugi would win maybe because of strategy and his heart of the cards. I would probably say Yugi, but with the new ban list, maybe not.

Dark Magician of Chaos rules! Yugi would probably find a way o get past all the new startesgies Yugi is using. He beat Kaiba. The first time was luck, but come on, Kaiba.

So I think Yugi. If he loses the first time, he'll just srategize a way to win. I've kind of changed my mind, but Yugi. Definetely him, if we get more Dark Magicians. Jaden uses the newest fusions in the Manga. As for Yugi and his strategy, it depends on whether you mean his anti-meta deck or the one he used after the ceremonial battle. His anti-meta deck wouldn't work, as the key cards aren't even real, but the other deck would do pretty well.

If he included a tuner like Chaos-End Master or frequency magician, he might be able to beat Yusei outright. Jaden technicly didn't beat him when he dueled Dimitri, and the the ending to other one wasn't shown.

Wait a second The GX manga's still going? And everyone used was new in their time. Yusei Synchro's, Jaden Fusions, and Yugi Ritual's for one. So if they all updated their decks, I think Yugi, because he has great strategy. His deck's just, ewwy. Well Yugi brought a lot of splashable monsters and traps and so did Yusei. I seriously doubt it. Same here. You know anime characters these days. Full of luck and unexpected stuff.

I say jaden because in the final duel between him and yugi spoiler alert! Not really. Yusei has pretty ok traps and plus he has pretty ok strategies with his synchros and a really good defense plan to back him up.

Base on strategy, will to win, option to pick the up-to- date cards same rules for all , Yugi is the best king of games , then Yusei, and Jaden. Yugi figure out how to beat 3 god card in one turn. Yusei always win with or less life points because he plans the entire match.

Jaden has bad hand advantage, but powerful monsters combo with grave yard summon. I would have to go with Yugi for this one. You have to remember that in our world, the cards play differently and some even have different effects so in the anime, Yugi's cards are actually much stronger not to mention he had Black Luster Soldier, Envoy of Beginning and Dark Magician of Chaos in his deck when it was on exhibit in GX. As the Game evolved, so did Yugi's Deck.

And Remember his Sorceror of Dark Magic's movie effect? It not only negated traps but lowered your opponents attack by for each spellcaster in your graveyard!

That so broken that it wasn't even funny! So it depends on if you are judging by the anime effects of the cards or the real life effects. Also, in the first series, magic cards were usable like trap cards during your opponents turn if set face down.

It's because they used battle city rules. And besides with all the evolved cards, there are some cards that Yusei might have to save himself from that like Majestic Star Dragon or Shooting Star Dragon.

I think that if Yugi was alive during the time 5d took place, he would probably have a much stronger deck since the game evolved significantly since his time. Although I have no idea when 5d takes place in the timeline.

Anyways, I think the real Game breaker is Yugi's egyptian Gods since in the anime, they are insanely over-powered. Does Yusei have anything that can take down the god? In the new movie, he has Ancient Rules, and That card that allows him to summon Dark Magician Girl from his hand or deck if he has a Dark Magician on the field, and That card that lets him take an opponents monster while he has 2 spellcasters on the field.

Please don't tack on the end of my paragraph and sign your posts so people know its someone else posting. Also, How is relying on your most powerful cards a negative? We all rely on our powerful cards and build strategies around them.
