- WiXoss (We-Cross) finally has its English Release! Granted, it was a while ago, meant to come in with the new Diva Format, but it started eight years ago with an attention-grabbing anime that the card game failed to capitalize on outside of Japan.
Just a note, this is an unscripted video about the history and mechanical design of WiXoss, not an unboxing video. - Hry
This looks like a fun game to pick up and never find players to play with
Oh trust me, I know that pain all too well.
Yea sounds like Weis Schwarz
Hahaha... hahahaha... *cries because yes*
the game is pretty deep in terms of mechanics and stuff
but yea my personal experience kinda lacks a community which is equally sad
Like every other game that isn't yugioh or magic the gathering
I love how this game’s equivalent of the graveyard is just called “TRASH”.
I believe there are a couple other Japanese games doing the same too
@@wbw911 It is becomingly increasingly popular for Card Games to use Trash or Drop instead of Graveyard
Kohdok: I have one major problem with this play mat-
Me: They put the rules on the back.
Kohdok: -they put the rules on the back.
Me: (shaking head and tsking like I know anything more about card games than what I've watched on Kohdok's channel) Amateurs.
I remember seeing this on Amazon and was surprised it got an English translation. Definitely considering getting it
Decks are $9 at my shop and idk if they still have the free proxy decks that come w/ promo center lrigs.
I was afraid that the art would be censored but im happy they stayed true to the source.
Art is Censored is some of the more riske cards, look up nobunaga, crimson general queen in both EN and JP for an example. She is much more scantily clad in the JP version
@@vtuberkomissar4413 sad to see the war against underbewb rages on
Unfortunately sounds like you over paid for the starters. Idk if you LGS was trying to recoup costs for shipping and distribution but they generally hover around $10 +/- a buck or 2 online...
Excited to see Wixoss getting more love though!!
$16 on amazon
one of my local games stores sells yugioh structure decks (normally 10 dollars) for 20, which is insane
Finally I get the chance to learn about WiXoss, appreciate this so much!
As a NIJISANJI fan I can definitely say they're worth a look, Rosemi Lovelock of the EN branch has been getting way into Yu-Gi-Oh recently!
Here's hoping they get a VShojo crossover, too. Ironmouse #1!
@@brendaneichler5244 Crossover with what? Nijisanji is the only group big enough to make an entire archetype. Think they have like 50,000 members.
@@bobjones4469 Well, maybe not for a full booster set, but Ironmouse/Nyanners/Silvervale in their VILLS apparel seems totally enough to build a deck around.
@@brendaneichler5244-Nyan and Silver are no longer a part of VShojo lol-
@@SmuggyOcelot They were when I posted that comment.
Great Video!!
Just a quick clarification, current WIXOSS JP starter guide actually has the same design as the one English version is but I agree on the clearer design, we don't need dark mode in a guide.
Kohdok i missed you , im glad your explaining wixoss and its funny how you make it so easy to understand compared to others 😅
One thing I really don't like about the english translation is that the fontthe use and icons are very very tiny, I see Japanese cards and they don't seem to be so tiny, is so hardto read the english cards and the cost of things.
Typing something out in English takes a lot more space than in Japanese.
Newer viewers probably have zero idea what “game me no like” is and I find that really funny
That's that show about anime people playing games in a world where games determine your status right?
It looks like one of those games you buy one set of to keep on the shelf and hope someone visiting gets bored enough to humor you with it lol I bought a few games like that lol
Cardfight Vanguard is the "game me no like".
Why does Kohdok hate Cardfight Vanguard so much?
I have an LGS near me, I've been having a blast with the game. Super deep mechanics, very skill testing.
I love the anime and I'm so mad that this game never really got localized.
Do you know if they have a website where you can find local stores that play and sell Wixoss? I've always thought it looked interesting, but I don't know of any stores near me that would even be willing to stock it.
would you know where to purchase the cards, if a local card shop doesn't have them?
Nice evaluation! Thanks!
"WiCross finally has its English Release!"
Me: ah that's cool! I've kinda always been interested in this card game I just can't read Japanese lol-
"Anyway here's a Nijisanji collab structure deck for 15 dollars"
WELL THEN.
Could you review domhan rhapsodie from thegamecrafter? And If you bring back cards from the abyss, could you discuss buddyfight?
The Wixoss english release is reminding me a lot of the original Force of Will release in how it's cheaping out on the west version while charging just as much while also only releasing in a very small amount of stores, which is not a good thing cause that release died REAL fast.
I thought that game died out in it's native Japan as well
@@OmegaKatanaXIII it's company went under and got bought out, then the community got pissed at the changes, I haven't heard much of it since, but the original release which was before it's modern interpretation and when it had Life Break mechanics was... weird.
@@giraton1 are you talking about force of will or wilxross
@@OmegaKatanaXIII force of will
I keep forgetting this isn't just an anime
Hololive is getting an English Weiss Schwarz release soon as a heads up.
This game seems really interesting. Might pick it up and jam some games with the Bois
Great video as always Kohdok! Love your content man!
I love Wixoss! I watched the anime and got interested in the cards, and lo and behold, I imported a few decks XD. Would love to get some of the English ones, but most game stores around here (Brasil) only have the big three (MTG, Pokemon and Yugi). Someday I will acquire two deck.....someday.
Great original Wixxos vid (how they get u to buy)
“The Lrig deck is a bag of tricks you always have access to”
So it’s an extra deck and Lrigs act like xyz monsters that you rank up throughout the game.
It has Sara and Mito too? Thought it was just a collab with the Sanbaka members. That's it, I'm buying this pack.
No Playlist for other games?
I have a question, why do you call the Lurigs?
Love the game but yeah... When I first learned I was pretty bugged about the rules being on the back of the playmat. So we just played without the mats and had it as a reference on the side.
The colors seem a little misleading as well, why is the black card purple??
I remember watching the original WiXoss anime. It was pretty good, soundtrack was good. Plot was good. I appreciated the show for being more than just a fancy advertisement for the physical card game.
Speaking of the card game, I don't know how I feel about the support LRIGs, if they mostly have on-play effects just like how an arts would have. It probably works better in practice than in theory.
Interesting!
Are you gonna make a Akora tcg review ?
Weiss Schwarz has a Hololive set, and it's in English, and it's actually really good.
The Vanguard diss. I love it.
My man throwing down a brief intro to V-Tubers in the process of talking about a card game...this is exactly the cultural cross-pollination I enjoy, thank you Kohdok.
Oh, looks like Wixoss fixed a lot of the things I didn't like when I tried it when it just came out all those years ago.
As a German I can't watch this series without laughing all the time I see the word Wixoss somewhere. Best Translation to english would be something like "Wankoss". 😄
Imagine watching these girls playing cardgames and everywhere stands Wankoss
Oh nein, wenn mans einmal gesehen hat, kann man es nicht mehr nicht sehen.
oh nice
Kohdok finally talks about Weeb-Sauce
Bushiroad also makes weiss scharz and made buddyfight (R.I.P)
Man, I wanna play this game so bad
I think the reason why Tomi is bringing Wixoss themselves, is probably because they don't want anyone else to mees up the disruption, translation, or heck changing the rules entirety (Like how Topps changed the rules of Hyper Coliseum when it appeared in America.) But that's my theory.
My kohdok addiction continues
Hololive is also in Weiss Schwarz, not just Rebirth btw.
I love wicksoss
oh i remember the anime for this
this and gate ruler are super fun
Re: the rules on the back: there's actually a QR Code on the top back corner for extended rules
Looks like an interesting game! But $15 for a deck seems a bit much.
Play Monster Club!! Really interested in what youd think of it! It's a tcg from the netherlands
If japanese imported the Hololive card game to Europe i would buy a ton of cards because I love most of all the Hololive idols, Coco being my favorite
still undecided on this game. FYI Nijisanji deck is old deck, not a new one. theres four new decks that came out in december and supposedly another two in march
Funny how the $5 one is actually a deck full of meta reprints of an older format that got phased out.
Hololive Weiss Schwarz is releasing in English if you wanted hololive cards. Releases in April.
HELL YES
They’re even bringing over all 5 trial decks too so that’s interesting. For those curious, it’s a deck each for gen 1-5. Gen 0 is in the actual set itself and gen 6 and the English girls are a part of the second set we will hopefully also get
Strong waifu card vibes.
Hasbro is too busy spending Magic Arena's budget on Power Rangers and G.I. Joe video games to distribute another card game.
This game features a lot of interesting mechanics at once. If it had some other kind of theme I would probably pick it up.
I would pay 15 bucks for a Toko or Lize card.
Interested but it feels dead over here in the west
hey kohdok have you heard of marvel battleworld? seems like something youd look at on this channel
holy cow a vtuber deck i thought only yugioh had that
The mechanics are interesting, and I like the anime art. I'm just not so sure about the waifu's. I'm not against them mind you, but in my area even the weebs are prudishly anti-waifu. So you know...cant really play if no one ELSE likes the game.
I feel like such a Kohdok noob for not realizing GameMeNoLike means! The forbidden children's card game! 😂
I need to recommend a product overview of Monster Club. It needs help and everything about it just seems so wrong. Nothing about gameplay seems aberrant in any form, it's the product marketing. There's no evident rarity system, all products are only available for purchase online, and it doesn't even seem like the game was ever playtested, having a "balancing system support" listed on their products. The booster sets are split into a 56 card set box and booster set of 54, each containing different cards. The starter decks are priced like a MTG planeswalker deck and only contain 3 extra cards in addition to one full deck. The rulebook has been updated for the first time just this year, and the game had begun selling since (from what I know) 2019, and I can't tell if their products even contain it. It's absurd.
Cool game though
Love to see Kohdok content and I wanna clarify that this video is an interesting look at this game you've mentioned a few times but ngl the aesthetics for this are... to put it charitably I'm gonna say "dogshit"
Its a great game and trying to drag my friends to play a bit, and my bf already does with a girl i also know, hahah
I'm surprised they didn't go with nijien for the 2434 deck
Saw the game (and the first season of the anime) years ago and thought it looked cool. Still really like the card design and the mechanics look interesting but this popstar theme is really not for me. Would have for sure have bought some if they translated the earlier sets.
As a huge fan of the anime (at least of season 1), I'm glad to see an English release finally! Probably won't buy it tho hehe
OK in defense of the practice of only include in a single mat with the rules on the back, this might be because I’m coming from Yu-Gi-Oh and that game you don’t like perspective , but When I was starting out (Or in yugioh Case getting back into it During the pendulum Period) I was recommended to buy three of the Yu-Gi-Oh (The monarch one) and two of the game you don’t like one(Chrono jet) and the issue solved itself,
Granted I can understand if you think new player should only get one starter deck rather than two, I understand my playgroups recommendation isn’t automatically universal or apply to every single Tcg/ocg, and someone who is trying to be as light as possible on their hobbies spending can’t have that luxury even if the deck are affordable because multiplying it by two or three can increase the amount of money they spend drastically
What is your “game me no like” ? This game is weak sauce and me no like. Call it derivative but Dragon Ball Masters combines The best of anime TCGs and MtG, and along with One Piece have two amazing shonen themes and characters. In this game, ummmm, I can say some mean things about the theme of this game but I won’t....
Kohdok’s “that game I don’t like” he’s referring to is Cardfight Vanguard. See his video on Unmixable Attributes for an explanation
I'm not a big fan of games that takes anime like this: they have to show off the anime girls with barely any clothes, and I'm screaming inside "GET SOME CLOTHES ON YA NUB!", It's what makes me not play certain cards in yugioh and shows in the anime, and I say this while liking Ace Attorney, but the pink girl goes to jail and does not return so I say that's a win.
WiXoss has what I like to call the Arcana Heart problem. The game is fun to play and has interesting mechanics, but it's completely made up of anime girls (some of which wearing some questionable attire). It can be a major turnoff for many people, especially when these types of games/cards are generally associated with the sweatiest guys at the shop
Yeah it’s why I felt it never came here to the west. Waifu games never tend to do nearly as well because it only appeals to certain types of people and even then there’s a subset that wants to be one of the few that goes into the waifu thing. Essentially a lot of sweaty guys tend not to like to be around mostly sweaty guys. Japan is an odd exception especially as plenty of girls flock to waifu games over there. You kind of need variety for a game to survive here in the west.
Also I’m pretty sure some arts can’t come over uncensored in certain countries. Other card games got into trouble over that even. I have my doubts this will get far but hey, I don’t really care if I’m wrong
@@MrZer093 It doesn't help how said sweaty guys tend to treat any girls who do get into the game...
As much as an anime fan i've always been, i'm not too big on the modern trend of cutesy anime character card fight games. kinda silly, and a lil creepy IMO.
But the card backs are BEAUTIFUL !!!!
anyone else deeply resent stylized spelling like this? like this and some of the kingdom hearts titles just really grind my gears
Ngl this looks very messy in terms of layout.
Cardfight!! WAIFUS
I see le "GameMeNoLikes" community's high Copeium addiction really burnt any of Kohdok's positive outlook of the game.. ._.
Sadly, the Diva anime is the worst one.
13:30 GLOW UP instead of grow up 😆
wow. The instructions on the back is just a bad. Terrible idea.
Why are all the characters scantily clad ladies? The core demographic definitely seems to be young straight men, but it still seems strange.
DBS TCG is better ;)
Just say vanguard , kinda sounds like a 2 year old saying non stop "me game no like " lol
