How do you lose a game you created, while also being able to read minds?

Pegasus had relinquished/thousand eyes restrict.

By facing the main character of the show.

blah blah blah attack mode blah

That's what happens when your opponent cheats.

Why didn't he keep exodia?

Eh, Exodia's trash. Nobody's ever been able to summon him.

Atem could directly influence in draw, though by the end of the series he could only do it subconciously

You don't have to keep anything that you can just make on a whim. You don't have to care about your own creations.

>just kind of made up as he went along
Most characters did that back then.

He should've just used 35 Pot of Greeds and 5 Exodia pieces

The toons were playing by Roger Rabbit rules.

>Now stone soldier, destroy the moon!

Uh, why do you think creating a game means you'll be among the best at it. That's completely nonsensical and has probably never been the case with any mainstream game.

you forgot the mind stuff bro

>Uh, why do you think creating a game means you'll be among the best at it.
Because you can add in components to it that favor you over other players obviously. Imagine if you were the creator of Magic the Gathering and limited the number of cards created so all the best ones were only in your possession and were effectively impossible to beat. That's kind of what Pegasus tried to do yet he still fucked it up anyway.

>can't read his opponents mind for 1 fucking turn
>immediately runs into Mirror Force like a retard

he didn't believe in the heart of the cards

It's just a trope people believe because it seems cool for the creator of something to also be the best at it. They created it right? So who else could possibly know it better.

But in reality, creating something and being good at something are actually very different skills. Game developers could never hope to master their own games to the extent of tournament players or speed runners.

Except for the makers of fighting games, usually because they're huge fighting game nerds themselves.

Based

No, even then players are better than the makers.
The guy making it spends 8 hours a day at the studio, you know, MAKING it.
The tournament player spends 8 hours a day practicing it. He's obviously going to be better.

It's literally a power he has that allows him to draw whatever he needs in that moment.
Atem is a filthy cheater and i don't know of a single important duel that he won without cheating.

he lost? I wasn't looking.

The maker of ARMS got on stage during a tournament and trashed the winner.

Exceptions don't disprove the rules.

Why does this never happen in tournament arcs? It'd be priceless to watch MC get a big win then immediately shit stomped by a true champ when they accepted the challenge.

...

>It's just a trope people believe because it seems cool for the creator of something to also be the best at it.
It's not a trope. It's just obvious. If you make the rules to a game you have a huge advantage. How is this not clear to you? Take the most basic example of "heads I win tails you lose." Now make it a little more complicated and involving multiple different game pieces and rules for how they interact and make it a little less blatantly rigged by giving opponents the ability to win in theory. This is exactly what a real life casino does.

>Nintendo game
Beating an 11 wear old isn't very impressive.

First of all, gambling is a drug, not a game. (At least the way casinos do it)

Second, what you're describing is CHEATING. Cheating is very fucking obviously not the same as being good at a game.

And here I am with no Dip.

>Second, what you're describing is CHEATING.
There is no one universally agreed upon, meaningful, and objective dividing line that separates a "fair" game from an unbalanced game. All sufficiently complicated games involve disadvantageous and asymmetries.

the people who make games are never the best at them. for a classic example some mexicans played the creators of king of fighters at their own game and wiped the floor with them, that partnership led to them making a character that was basically just that guys fetishes rolled into one

Friendship and he rely on the millennium eye too much that he lost his natural duel instinct.

>>while also being able to read minds
It was blocked by yugi mind shuffle and his friends. Without reading minds pegasus isn't really that strong of a duelist.

>he rely on the millennium eye too much that he lost his natural duel instinct.
He also lost to Kaiba after losing his eye later on in that Egyptian Gods TV movie.

To be fair, he didn't actually make the game, he just localized it.
Atem was dueling a millennia prior to Pegasus existing.

TCG devs aren't necessarily elite players and Yugi got lucky as hell with topdecks

I mean, knowing your opponent's hand barely matters in Yu-Gi-Oh anyway. It's not Magic.

i wont let you claim the number pegasus

>Atem was dueling a millennia prior to Pegasus existing.
The ancient Egyptians had animated cartoon television shows?

I've never played high-level ygo but knowing what traps your opponent has set seems like a big deal, no need to e.g. play around mirror force and you can recognize people bluffing with a face-down spell card.

Because he was dueling the king of games, duh.

>implying anyone uses traps anymore
Seriously though, that knowledge means a hell of a lot less than it did a decade ago.

I stil don't get what it does

This

His millennium eye? It literally can sense all thoughts without any ways of deceiving. It even knows the subconscious truth that you may be hiding from yourself.

Like the user said. It's pretty ridiculous for him to lose.

Real question is why Pegasus didn't just have a gun. Kaiba might've been a ninja for no good reason, but when Bakura started shit he should've just got popped.

Not a player. What happened to traps?

Power creep. Lots of cards that chain into each other to search out/activate other cards, meaning that an insane amount can happen in one turn. Plus lots of ways to destroy face-down cards. This makes most Trap cards unbearably slow, and they've largely been replaced by "hand traps" like pic related.

You're garbage.
