He’s not red. We can assume that was the issue, I think?
So excited to know we’re getting the rest of the neo-spacian monsters.
I like the way Konami didn’t nerf the LP gain but changed the condition instead.
The Contact Fusions in Rush do not match up with the Neo-Spacians’ color schemes. Instead they match up with the Attribute.
They also have radically unique names from their counterparts.
We don’t know why Air Neos has legal issues but presumably it is a combination of design plus name, which this Contact does not.
Honestly, it looks more like a fusion of neos with avian rather than neos and air hummingbird, from colours to the claw. If it was just the red they could just switch it to pink or purple a long time ago and it would have been fine, if it was just the name they could change just that but i think it was an lawsuit and they wanted to avoid any chances for it to happen again.
No this card is completely unrelated to the Air Neos situation
All the Rush Neos Fusions are completely different in terms of of name, art and effect
Nah, the RD Neo fusions are just different and are colored based on attributes.
That’s crazy. They’ll do anything to avoid showing Air Neos. I wonder if there was one specific artist for Air Neos and maybe a few other cards who the company just can not use at all anymore. Maybe a court settlement or something. Cuz this is completely different.
All of the Rush Neos Fusions are different lmao
I was worried after reading A Hero Descends that we weren’t getting any more Neo-Spacians and Contact Fusions. And then when we compare the other Neos-Spacians, their effects have to be adjusted for Rush Duels. Air Hummingbird was the only remaining monster I could see coming to Rush.
Overall, Hummingbird has a requirement that prevents you from abusing multiple copies or having LP to an insane amount.
Sky Neos has a much easier requirement compared to Air Neos which Hummingbird easily sets up, but it can no longer gain a lot of ATK. With Skyscraper, Sky Neos can still reach an impressive 3500 ATK to clear out most boards and attack monsters twice.
Based on set order though we should have one more Trap between Sixth Sense and Sky Neos, unless Konami puts another Fusion for a different theme in here which I doubt.
It seems that these Rush’s Neos Fusion take more inspiration from each Neo-Spacian’s Attribute. Also, this Fusion Monster has the full Contact Fusion description even though there are Fusion Monsters in the same Pack that have the reduced Contact Fusion description.
Also, I increasingly feel that Metarion will not receive support in this Pack since, if it is a Main Monster, there is no suitable Slot in the Pack.
There is room for a Fusion or a Spell for them. I think it’s unlikely but anything is possible.
It’s definitely understandable that Air Hummingbird had to be nerfed this way. Because if it didn’t have that restriction, people could loop this to get a crazy amount of LP.
It confirms now. They sold E Hero Air Neos
all of them are different in rush
Anyone getting Megaman Battle Network vibes from Sky Neos?
I see it yeah. he kind of looks like a mix of Cyber Beast Gregar and Falzar
okay well this just baffles me. Why did they make A Hero Descends only specify Aqua and Flare if they were gonna announce a 3rd one so soon?
also, I understand they are probably afraid of massive LP gain from Hummingbird, but they do know that 9/10 times your opponent is going to have 1 or less cards in hand right?
Oh I just noticed a cool reference they packed into Sky Neos’ design. His wings have the fan blade spike things from Cyclone Wing the equip spell he used on Air Neos in his rematch with Crowler.
Master Duel: So the main issue we have with Air Neos is that it is anti synergy with Air Hummingbird as the latter heals you but the former gets power from having less Lp than your opponent. Now we see Neos is being ported to Rush Duel and we cannot get Air Neos… will you address that issue with that replacement?
Rush Duels: DOUBLE ATTACKS WITH LESS LP THAN YOUR OPPONENT!!!
less or more lp
That’s exactly what I was thinking
NVM they addressed it with the fact the LPs just have to be different values… #yugiohplayerscannotread… #wheremynewAirNeosKonami
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! LOOOOOOOOOOL
