So in other words, there's never a day during the weekdays WITHOUT a preview.

That's my aim. ;)

But I would show up on Saturdays and Sundays because you never know. :cool:

Apparently not. A heads up would be nice though.

[CursedSealingDragon]

So this means theres a preview tommorow at tradecardsonline? Also, what about bandai naruto, besides the podcast?

Ok, thanks, I have to remember to put these sites in my favorites... need to update the cardlist every day now -_-

Shion's Lightning! (maybe) It was expected though.

I'm calling it, Shion in her versions are my favorite cards in the Set and yours as well if your playing Lightning. In other words, Shion Theme on Monday! :D

i think i liked it better when everyone got 3 previews. kinda feels like wind and fire got the short end of th stick. dont get me wrong, im happy there are new uchihas, they arent the greatest in the world but they'll do, and tigers pretty good...but that was kinda it.

Fire got huge support for this set, so you must directly mean on the previews right, not as an entirety of the set? I personally am tired of seeing fire, so lightning FTW! Next important for me is Eart, NEW YAMATO! (probably)

[reddragondecease]

*Hahonryuu: Fire got 3 previews...just as many as Water.*shrug*

I'm curious about Shion, how is Bandai working with that I wonder?

[MinatoNamikaze]

i agree with hahonryuu

not again was kinda neat. kakashi was cool for fun decks (unless bandai makes better make out cards) itachi was alright but not as good as GiG. will of the 3rd is meh at best. kakashi(childhood) is just plain dissapointing. and academy is only for a pretty specific deck and not really fire/lightning as a whole. hopefully the stuff previewed on other sites will be better

with lightning the 9 tailed fox sucks, plain and simple. some of the jutsu's were neat, and radiant is amazing. but so far thats it...but the 4th hokage(youngerdays) is just a-ma-zing. so i have hope for lightning. and it was podcast. hopefully that means you saved the quality previews for other sites. odd that you gave yourselves the meh cards though. you did seem to be hyping taijutsu a bit and toads are cool so maybe those wont be dissapointing. i dont expec anything from shion. movie stuff hasnt been good so far. knights had potential but fell short and just gradually got weaker

wind is only getting 2 previews like fire. that doesnt sound good. and worse yet the themes are meh. hopefully when you say sand you mean more than just gaara and his jutsus <that includes shukaku and possessed gaara btw>. but kunoichi, like taijutsu, you specifically mentioned to help give wind and lightning respectively more support in different areas aside from puppets and TBF. so i have high hopes. hopefully Rin is part of the kunoichi theme =D

the hinata promo is amazing and there is supposed to be a new hyuuga, im curious about yamato etc so again, high hopes. and earth has some pretty varied themes. im not worried about them

water has more or less the usual. smae old same old. but they are top tier right now so they will be fine. maybe kabutos theme will help medical decks. thatd be cool

but so far the bandai previews, after the hype died down <originally i was super psyched about the uchihas> i realized are pretty meh so far

[hahonryuu]

Fire got huge support for this set, so you must directly mean on the previews right, not as an entirety of the set? I personally am tired of seeing fire, so lightning FTW! Next important for me is Eart, NEW YAMATO! (probably)

this set as in set 14 or this set as in set 15...i'll assume you meant 14. yes of course i meant the previews. thats kinda what i was talking about y'know, the entire time im not saying fire hasnt gotten a lot, im not saying fire wont get a lot. heck fire is just a small part of hat im talking about...i was talking in general and used wind and fire as an example. im not one of those fire fanboys going "ROFL GEEVE FAIRE MOR NAO. EET HAZNT GATUN NETHING"

your misinterpreting what I'm saying. in fact all i really said was that i prefered it when everyone got the same amount of previews. in fact forget i mentioned fire at all if that helps you understand

and what do you mean by tired of seeing fire? like previews? dude its been a week, same as the others will be.

anyway as i was saying. of course i was talking about the previews. they have been extremely underwhelming so far <not counting the promo candidates..actually even many of those are underwhelming> and now, as another person said it, that the "hype has dyed down" i'm kinda going meh so far

*Hahonryuu: Fire got 3 previews...just as many as Water.*shrug*

I'm curious about Shion, how is Bandai working with that I wonder?

your right i forgot about the extended art theme :p. must've been because of the other two being different elements lol. my bad

but again im not complaining that fire didn't get the same previews as the others. im complaining that not everyone has the same amount. all i said was that i liked it better when everyone had 3...yet 2 elements get 4

why do you both bring up fire when not only did i also mention wind but i mentioned wind FIRST XD. what people see me and expect im just making a fire complaint? have i complained about fire that much? i doubt i have. and no im not being sensitive right now or anything like that..i am actually in a pretty good mood. just curious as to why i mention 2 elements yet only 1 gets brought up when addressing what i said. its kind of funny actually lol

EDIT: yes im curious about shion as well. but i dont expect much, shes a movie character. circus stuff did well...movie 3 gave us good clients and missions...but the ninjas, like usual, were meh. the jutsus, like usual, were meh. so while i think the movi itself will give us decent cards, i dont expect much from the ninjas


EDIT2: ahhh i think isee the problem. i used the uchihas as an eample. perhaps i shouldve used the extended art #2 as an example as well. wll here it goes. skaura is a silver bullet, for something that doesnt even really need a silver bullet. so thats not helping the game, the platoon has hand cost and requires a ninja with a hand cost so its auto meh. the first iron jutsu i kind alike but the requirements make it meh, the otherone is just bad imo. antidote is cool though. so all in all a pretty meh theme...and the future wind themes will also be pretty underwhelming unless they really give kunoichi good support and by sand, they dont just mean gaara and/or his jutsus >_>

Set 15, but yeah, well sets switch off, I think texan is more excited about lightning anyway

[hahonryuu]

then he can either pick his TOP 3 and give everyone 3 or he can give it as much as he wants but giv everyone the same amount. i just kinda wanted it to be fair. since you pointed out the extended arc i realize no one is getting the short end of the stick with just 2 previews, but at the same time earth and lightning still have more than the others. i just miss the good ol days when everyone got the same amount :(

Not to sound off, but Lightning has more then any of the other four if you count the Kyuubi preview. xD And I'm not complaining about Lightning getting more, it honestly needs a small amount more to compete then the other four in the current (and possibly future) meta.

[hahonryuu]

inorite? my post is too short. oh well it isnt now

sorry for double post but...im not saying elements cant get more/less than others in a particular set. heck its going to work out that way pretty much all the time <hopefully until everything is more balanced and no one needs an overwhelming amount more than others> but thats the set...the previews can still be equal in size.

i mean look at the lightning preview we already got? a couple ones with potential and one amazing and one that was just terrible. if that preview didnt happen, well i would almost see it as a good thing. the 9 tailed fox card was so beyond disappointing <see im not just disappointed with fires previews :p> that it almostmaybekindasortanotreally made me wanna cry lol. and shions will likely also be dissapointing because of reasons already stated...she's from a movie. its possible her preview could be amazing. i doubt it, but it could be i suppose...at best it will create a fad deck <like prince and knight decks> that will be pretty good at best then slowly die from lack of more support.

again, is it really necissary to, for example, give lightning 5 previews? give them the most support in the set all you want, by all means go for it. but why give them the most previews? just to say "ehy this is where most of this sets support is going". that seems useless and unfair to the other elements <ALL of them, not just fire. just to make that clear>

[Sanbi]

Hm, as a Water player, I'm mildly disappointed that it looks like we're getting same old, same old, where as to other elements (not wind) are getting a lot of new meat...

Ah, well, I really find it hard to complain after Emerging Alliance...

[reddragondecease]

I can agree with that.*shrug*But still, there haven't been many sets where there have been balanced previews. An example would be the water previews of set 12, Wind for set 14, or Water and Fire set 13. So, honestly, I'm not really expecting it with any sets to come.

[illrockursox]

i have to wait forever for kunioichi theme :( but it'll be worth it if they give me TSUNADE "Younger Days" i can see it now!

[hahonryuu]

Ah, well, I really find it hard to complain after Emerging Alliance...

i imagine kabuto is really a medical theme in disguise :cool:. with recon in 10k snake decks and presence, if any, in other builds...i imagine orochi's theme is going to be hard to top the past incarnations...sorta like how itachi's to me will probably be either dissapointing or omfg broken from now on because of what he already has...same with kakashi and gaara and shika and many other characters. its getting to the point where bandai really needs new themes or new characters to put in those themes. something like uchiha/sharingan is fine since its a family and there are, eventually <assuming no obito this set>, 4+ other new uchihas/sharingans to get in the future. same with medical and weapon. but character themes like naruto orochimaru etc...they are kinda stale. the exception is something like shion who hasnt been made before.

but overall i agree, themes like "orochimaru" need to stop >_>

man im on a role with all this compalining about the themes today XD. "niot equal" "not good enough" "need new themes". lol i need to give it a rest.

ok im going to stop now before i look like a whiner, assuming i dont already :p

[hahonryuu]

i have to wait forever for kunioichi theme :( but it'll be worth it if they give me TSUNADE "Younger Days" i can see it now!

yay for double posting! ~_^

we already have younger sannin and they arent called younger days...i dont think we'll be seeing them again

childhood however, thats a different story..japan had them

i actually have a theory that we wont see the childhood sannin until next set, set 16. texan said something about a ruling with childhood ninjas in set 16..why not make that ruling this set, set 15, witht he introduction of even more childhood ninjas. why? because they arent done yet. so i think they are saving the "insert sannin here"(childhood) ninjas, as well as maybe others, for next set. i still cant eait though :D and you never know..they maybe be this set

[Bozu4u]

I'm calling it, Shion in her versions are my favorite cards in the Set and yours as well if your playing Lightning. In other words, Shion Theme on Monday! :D

YES! filler....

[Kakashi_Hatake777]

Shion Theme!!! Gah!! Can't wait to see what she does!!! I love Shion!! (Mostly cause she has the same character design as Hinata....except different hair color and eyes. That'd said, I'm looking forward to Earth the Most. Just for the Hyuga theme. Please make it the first one!! (Crosses fingers for a another t3 Hyuga with support or at least a t4 Hyuga with support. Or a Neji & Hizashi Squad. That'd rock too.

[codecatx5]

I'm loving the sheer amount of new lightning previews so many different lightning decks have stopped getting good support that it really was just a matter of time before we got an explosion of good stuff. I'm particularly interested in the naruto and shion themes mostly because I want the first SR client to be lightning. But I personally like the previews being as is so people can grasp what they want out of the set. Previews allow for better informed decisions.

what makes you so sure she'll be a client? or SR?

and assuming that last part was directed towards the stuff i was saying earlier...im not saying stop or change the previews. just give everyone the same amount

Nah, Shion won't be a client. She'll probably be a T1 Nin with a T2 or 3 transformed form.*shrug*

[Saitsuofleaves]

If she ends up as Turn 1 Support, Lightning will be Tier 1, and it just might be better than Water. Maybe, depending on what Water gets this set.

[hahonryuu]

i hope so. once every element becomes tier 1 or tier 1ish then this game will be really interesting

[Saitsuofleaves]

i hope so. once every element becomes tier 1 or tier 1ish then this game will be really interesting

Well, if every element is Tier 1, then there's no such thing as Tiers. But unfortunately, that won't happen. It'll get close, but there always will be something better than another.

[hahonryuu]

well you know what i mean. everything getting as close as possible to where you could potentially make a deck from any element and be able to make a competitive deck

[Raikiribokken]

Kind of like the deceased Bleach TCG? Yeah... I miss the hollow rush fun...
anyway, I'm not counting fire out yet. Many sites have previews and I'm sure at least one of them will get good Fire stuff *cough*Pojo*cough*

[hahonryuu]

all i want is obito <though theres also going to be a childhood 3rd hokage so thats cool too> and some draw/chakra generation would be cool...but that will come all in due time, right now i'll just accept obito :p <as a T0-1>

[Owwruiphantom]

I cannot wait till earth week

[texans07]

Kind of like the deceased Bleach TCG? Yeah... I miss the hollow rush fun...

Acutally most of the Fire Previews have been shown, the exception is 3rrd (Childhood) and that was given to one of the other sites.

Pojo has good stuff but only the Podcast was given SRs, you'll see most of the SR's in our previews.

[Vehn]

I love you texans :D

God forbid Fire ever not getting something good.

You're just trying to get my hopes down:mad: Oh, texans, you joker:p

Darn right!!! Yall iz zpekkin een teh lenjuage oph teh trollz
Edit:w00t double post

[Bozu4u]

Idk, but pretty soon they're gonna run out of broken stuff to give it and start giving them OTK cards.........oh wait, Leaf Academy. Its not the greatest but its a start, we'll see more, just give it time.

*facepalm* fire ISNT broken every set. stop living in the past. heck froget broken, fire isnt even tier 1 right now. water is the big dog right now. stop hating fire because of bad PAST experiences

Whenever people say that, it always pops up at events. Fire will always compete with the top tier elements because its solid in every aspect.

[hahonryuu]

yes, i agree, fire is quite solid...but that doesnt make it broken like you say. and definately not broken every set. fire has always and probably will always be a force to be reckoned with. but it hasn't been broken in a while. thats going a bit far

[codecatx5]

what makes you so sure she'll be a client? or SR?

and assuming that last part was directed towards the stuff i was saying earlier...im not saying stop or change the previews. just give everyone the same amount

I'm not sure but I am hoping besides in the movie wasn't she a client? Besides would it be so bad she was super rare.

I get what your saying I'm just saying I like it this way the only way to show which element is getting the most support is to give them massive previews aside from that I don't want 1 good fire preview then a barrage of bad fire previews just because they were trying to be fair.

P.S Fire is just an example nothing more.

[Sanbi]

I think it's interesting that there's no medical theme, seeing as how Yomi could be a big boost to medical, couldn't he...? Actually, I don't see any place for Yomi in there... except maybe mental...?

Meh, I don't really know what I'm talking about; I never got around to watching that movie, so I'm lost...

[Bozu4u]

yes, i agree, fire is quite solid...but that doesnt make it broken like you say. and definately not broken every set. fire has always and probably will always be a force to be reckoned with. but it hasn't been broken in a while. thats going a bit far

Maybe not broken, but Fire does get at least one above average card nearly every set, that always seems too good not to run.

[codecatx5]

Maybe not broken, but Fire does get at least one above average card nearly every set, that always seems too good not to run.

Fire doesn't need big boost they got those really early on and most of it isn't out classed so as long as the get key cards like Itachi GIG, Sense of Fear and like mangekyo it'll stay solid and on top.

[hahonryuu]

Maybe not broken, but Fire does get at least one above average card nearly every set, that always seems too good not to run.

what so fire is just not allowed to get good cards?

but fire ISNT on top, thats what I've been trying to make you guys understand. you guys are just letting bad memories of freedori, pre errata winherits, pre errata apw, and JI and stuff get the better of you. fire is far from a problem right now. and why complain about fire getting stuff, why not be happy that everyone is getting stuff. its not like they are ignoring every other element like they were before.

I wasn't even playing when that happened but, I know of it. My point is fire is a constantly evolving element that never lacks support in each set and I don't mind that at all. I'm just saying that it doesn't need a big boost while other more lacking element such as lightning at the moment could really use a big boost.
Also while fire isn't #1 right this minute it's not really but a key card or two from being #1. To be honest I believe if they un rouge JLDC, Emina and LAR fire would be #1 and lightning wouldn't be to far behind it.

Fire can get good cards, but when they get them every set while the other elements get them every other set, I feel that Fire could use a break.

I'm not dwelling on past experiences. I started playing competitively during the release of BoD, so luckily for me I got to skip past Brokage, Inherits and such. In fact, I was riding the Freedori train along with everyone else.

LAR wouldnt really help fire that much at this point. its at 2 right now which is good enough, but SB makes LAR scary to use..and next set there will be punishment. yeah next set tutoring is FTL, 4/5 elements will be able to eat tutors for breakfast. now clouds, yeah i can definately see that since drawpower/chakra generation is all fire REALLY needs. considering waters strength right now <especially if that snake is unchanged, giving snake wave another user> and considering that it looks like lightning is about to sky rocket, and earth is also very strong and will likely gain more power this set

i think that tier one would still but out of fires reach <but only just> at the very least i think next set we will be very close to the age we have all been waiting for..the age where you can pick up any element and be successful. there will always be one at least a little better than the others, but so long as it isnt overwhelmig where, for example, water will consistantly beat wind, then its good enough. perfect balance is impossible afterall


Fire can get good cards, but when they get them every set while the other elements get them every other set, I feel that Fire could use a break.

well it looks like fire is getting said break this set XD. though kamui is quite nice >_>. and some of those missions have potential. honestly though, and i see where your coming from, i think its better for everyone to get support every set. so instead of complaining that fire is getting stuff, why not complain that other elements aren't? i agree with you, back in the day they almost completely ignored every element but fire and water.

they gave earth cool missions <though no draw power> some cool early game ninjas <but nothing spactacular about them except for their effects.and no good mid-late game except 1st hokage>, and 1 amazing jutsu...and that was it.. and they had no real way to respond to jutsus with lack of negation

wind: got some cool early ninjas that, like earth, were abused more more supported elements so they didnt help out their own very much. their late game ninja either had good effects and bad stats <like baki> or great stats but bad effects <the first several tsunade were horrible-decebt>. their jutsus were lack ****er <and if they dont require gaara, they still kinda are. though not on the same level>. and their negation was situational

lightning: got some really cool jutsus <like sexy jutsu. they got the first ninja stealing jutsu, the "change of heart" if you will> and eventually got, arguably, the best jutsu in the game...too bad the element sucked when SCJ first came out. they had great combat ninjas but no real draw power <till reunion> and no ninjas with good support until, i think, arashi fuuma...then they didnt get another till that star chick. and i think sai was the next. and now they have hokage and shion not to mention another sai that hopefully wont be anti lightning, so they are fine with support now. also lacked negation


but fire and water never had the problem. water coulve used better draw and negation, but thats fine, whats doen is done. people don't generally complain about water because, though it has never been bad, it wasn't tier 1. but fire was, it got all the spot light. and i think that, to an extent, is wrong

but again, instead of saying things like "why is fire still getting stuff" or "fire needs a break" why not complain that the others arent getting enough support? why do complaining that will only hurt an element when you an do complaining that will help others?

By the way lol on lightnings boost.
personally I agree with you the complaining made the rouge list happen which made me break my toad deck instead of just making it so that other elements could just keep up they lowered the playability of one which isn't good for the game, games should expand not constrict and complaining about one element creates an environment where constriction is the only thing that will happen.

Every time you post, there's more and more text. Lol.

I get what you're saying, but I still think Fire should take a small break to give other elements a chance to catch up........*cough*wind*cough*

yeah i do that XD sorry.

for starters it looks like fire is taking a break. unless the 3rd(childhood) is amazing, fires early game, while it got help, didn't get anything spectacular the way water did this set and lightning is getting next set. it did get an amazing jutsu in kamui and burst has potential, but i don't think they are going to define fire this set. like i said before, though the uchihas are useful, they really are pretty meh. and though we're getting pretty cool and unique <at least for fire> missions, like with the jutsus, i don't think they are going to define fire or anything this set...and if it was getting a really good mission <not a side deck like punishment, or a specific deck type like the mill ones, etc> we would've probably seen it by now

what I'm saying is, it looks like fire is getting said break. and really, like i said earlier, water has gotten very consistent help as well, it just wasn't until recently that they were getting those very particular things it needed to really take off...so water is getting consistant support, but unlike fire, its actually on top right now...why can't it be the one to take the break? again im against any element "taking a break" at all, but why should the one thats not on top do it?

but again the conversation is pretty pointless since this does look to be fires break set <unless childhood 3rd is just redonkulous and fire specific>

Agreed. 4th is Lightning specific, so I'm guessing 3rd will be the same.

[MinatoNamikaze]

lightning and water week have already happend, and lightning even had a taijutsu theme...so at the very elast i highly doubt the guy/kisame one will happen. deidara/gaara is still possible though. personally i think they are saving them for next set though

lol at guy doing a split

i wish our english characters had souped up stats like these...

we do have souped up stats. did naruto not gain 3 combat in both statuses? in case you didnt know the shippuuden game works differently than ours. that isnt combat and support, its attack and defense. when teamed up on the attack every ninja, even the back ninjas, use the attack when calculating team power. when teamed up on the defense every ninja, including the head ninja, uses the defense numbers when calculating team power.

so for example, kisame is great for attacking but he fails pretty hard when defending. same for poor naruto lol, he's like 5/0 7/1. boy cant defend anything to save his life :p

[dannypunani]

the kisame/gai art is awesome, those two shouldnt get left out of the extended art love. but im looking forward to the deidara/gaara.
