New Player

[Sakurastarlight]

 
I am new to the game, and online playing is a totally different issue than doing it with actual cards for me.
So if anyone minds going through a Test Explanation with me to get the battle started, and then just go from there,
and if I miss something to explain to me a bit why that happened. I know people have there
own lives I repect that, but also need help with this. If anyone doesnt mind.
Let me know thanks, I will get on if you dont mind.
My game login is SakuraStar

It's not used, but from the creator's point of view it's a reference for what phase you're doing stuff

maybe we should have a area of the forum devoted to new starters to help them out? this obviously being a huge.

[Ren «Я»]

Oh Nick's helping people out. ( Didn't think you were that kind lol)

I think that best way of helping is making some sort of mock battle with detailed info on how to act and use the commands and some specific tricks (such as how we "view" or search the top cards). Also, we should mention that some cards have automatized effect (such as QW, grade 3 searchers).  It took me some time to understand how play cardfight capital (I don't have any memories from there. I travel alone only.) and same was with all other games of such type (KCVDS...good memories, DN and YGOPRo took a while to get used to.)
