SWIM (yeah right) is ready and rarin' to accept all manner of makeouts~
[Is there a totally cool and intelligent chill way to express grabby hands??]
If I were legit intelligent and smart I would know how to play the actual YGO card game by now... woops. I'm just pulling ideas out of my very fine butt over here.
My first inclination would be to say that any monster or god card with a second-tier merge option would have to be established beforehand. "Combine Obelisk + Blue eyes = ____(double merge into Godly Blue Eyes or w/e)__." "Combine Obelisk + Mega Ultra Chicken = ___(double the god stats, double the fun?? rotisserie style)__." But maybe there are also some monster/god cards that can't be merged at all?
I'm also very tempted to say that with moves on the table like Tier Two Merge or whatever you want to call it, there should really be some built-in mechanic that makes the regular cards play some part in facilitating or deterring certain merges. Kinda like what I said before... if each regular turn has a chance to give you the right kind of attributes/power/stats/idk to initiate the first merge, then the game would sort of guide you toward which merges were possible based on your draws. Then, once again, you'd have to build up some power or something with a few regular game turns before you even think about trying to execute a Tier Two Mere.
...wow I really hope any of that was even halfway coherent. :'D
It's hard to say if the game would run more smoothly or way slower than necessary after adding in the "build up" part of the normal rounds. That's have to be tested a few times to see if it's realistic.
MEGA ULTRA CHICKEN 🗣️🗣️‼️‼️
Oh wait rq are you speaking for like the actual card game? Bc I meant the characters like design wise and everything 😭😭😭
I mean it can totally apply to the card game as well, but I’ve been talking about like each individual character and them merging with thE monster, similarly to Jaden and Yubel :3
But no I totally think like you said the double monsters should have a mixed name! Like Blue Eyes the Tormentor,, or Obelisk the White Dragon? Pretty epic sounding no matter how it’s put together 🙏
Going off of Duel Links and the anime, another combination could be Bakura and Dark Necrofear? How they’d look could be a slightly more feminine, androgynous build and becoming ball jointed, yknow what I mean? Like I’m using polymerization to combine a character and a monster 😭 There’s some interesting cases though, like Jaden, who eventually merges with Yubel, but can see and talk to monsters… there’s also Noah, who is literally ai 😭 I haven’t seen much of zexal, so I don’t really know the whole deal with Yuma and Astral, which can maybe interfere with the whole merging concept,,
If ur more knowledgeable on zexal than I am, explain those two to me bc what iS Astral lmao
