masterduel players are either tryhards who jumped in hype train even without knowing tcg/ocg rulings, or simply vets who are tired of ygopro and other unofficial ygo simulator software
duellinks will alwys be a nostalgia game for people who watched orig anime in the 90s, so master duel players interest doesn't really overlap with dl considering the speed format catered for chill casuals too
The only problem with dl is how they manage the card resources. Selection box, cards in different packs, and useless card trading & crafting system already make this game different for each player.
^I disagree. Master Duel has no events relating to the anime tv series, no voice acting from the original actors in the anime, and no in-game animations of protagonist aces. Duel Links is the superior game for nostalgia.
Not really, if DL really was animefans they'd keep anime decks strong with broken custom skills, you know the usual artificial meta.
What would a nostalgia baited person feel if he builds a dark mag just to be r@ped by everything in pvp?
Konami said not me. So yes they intend DL for animefans more than MD. MD don't have characters, voice lines and deck helping skills. Do you thinkg the average fan care about learing the annyoing staples? or they will have paitance for the long turns with million special summons? I think not. The meta is 🔥 in both games still even i suggest DL for causals, it easier to learn and play.
^ The anime aspect of Duel Links adds to the fun of skills and decks (although admittedly, that can be a bad thing like with the Destiny Draw+BB Veil combo).
