is there a way to play on untap
Maybe you could allow 4 cores 2 from battle planet and 2 from armored alliance?
Ho man , i really miss the old bakugan with all the weird , bro masquerade is a girl that turned into a dude using some rad shades like yo thats was wild when it was revealed
@@mr.jeffmann376 wait so does that mean masquerade turns into a boy or stays a girl but with a boys voice?🤔
@@AD-jm9et Unfortunately this game is too reliant on physical interaction between Bakugan to be possible on Untap
The creation of bakugan melee reminds me of when dan and shun created the original rules
That's exactly what it friggin feels like, THANK you
@@JettKuso That must mean that you're the Dan Kuso of the real world and your friend who help create the rules of Bakugan Melee is Shun You two even use the exact same Attribute/Faction as Dan and Shun Pyrus for you And Ventus for your friend

Gotta wonder if they thought: “let’s just have the community figure out how to play it, then go with that.”
Lol I've wondered the same thing.

Can I eat a gatecard? Yeah, you can
Of couse i can, why would i buy them if i couldn't??
@@pandrrrr2355 i know right, mostly when you add syrup
Hahahahahaha
Eat the doom cards, do it.
JettKuso is probably the scariest person to come across in a Target Parking lot challenging you to a game of Bakugan which he’ll probably destroy you in
He trash
My man got japanese bakugans , that's scary
Bro I hadn’t gotten to the point in the vid where he said that, so I read your comment with zero context and it was even scarier
Not if we're playing old school, then I could go full Maxus Dragonoid and Maxus Helios on him
I’d love a chance to play and learn from Jett
Imagine if Spinmaster/Bakugan actually watch this Video and uses the Melee idea
That would confuse the heck out of me cause I am just learning Geogan Rising battle rules
@@MartyMarti I don’t even know the rules yet 😭
@@MXZinx Geogan cards act as your usual ability card so you do not have to pay any cost for it unlike the Pro TCG as long as the Geogan has the same attribute as the Bakugan

“It’s kinda hard to play the Bakugan tcg” I wonder why *cough* hard to acquire cards
Yea a lil
@@jjv1978thehallow a lil, mhm, yeah, just a little :')
Also, doesn't the TCG use the ancient practice of life-decking? I swear I thought Duel Masters and Cardfight Vanguard showed us a better way.
@@christopherbennett5858 indeed it does. It's part of why I, as well as other old school people I know, have refrained from getting into the pro-tcg.
There wasn't any packs of Bakugan cards in the stores I've went to
You've created an incredible game that will be fun to play by both children and adults , you're literally the saviour this game needs. Never stop being the king of Bakugan!!!
It’s really up to the fans to start playing it and make it popular. I think we can!
Don’t insult him, he’s the Baku Champion!
Do bakucores have to be magnetic? Cuz I wanna just craft my own.
Did the Bakugan Battle Brawlers toys come with character cards like Bakugan Battle planet
Did the Bakugan Battle Brawlers toys come with character cards like Bakugan Battle planet
I've got some ideas for gimmicks. Bonus tags on cores such as Frost or Shadow Strike add gimmicks or rules that the players must abide by for the rest of the Battle (pretty much old gate card effects). (I will update this list as I come up with more) Frost: Both players attribute bonuses from the gate card are negated (does not affect bonuses from cores) Shadow Strike: Lowest B power wins Double Strike: Gate Card bonuses are gained TWICE (fusions will gain both their respective attributes in the event one a double strike core is used on a fusion gate card) I also came up with a gimmick for what damage does which is as follows: Damage acts as a reserve decider for B power. In the event where both players bakugan tie in B power, you can either add cores to make your B power higher, or you can move to damage to determine the winner. For example: Trox and Hydranoid both land on the same gate card and end up with the same total B power at 800. So it goes down to damage, Trox has 3 Damage VS Hydranoid's 5, so hydranoid wins the battle.
This seems AWSOME
Yeah you know what, I'm just gonna make a custom ruleset.
You can do it!!!
Me too
Can you edit this comment and tell us what you made?

To be honest, I'm super excited about the 'Bakugan Melee' idea; it's the perfect fusion (see what I did there) of legacy and modern formats! I've been trying a similar thing with a friend of mine who only had the legacy stuff, but we could never really get it to work out right, so to see this is awesome!
That was the idea, I'm glad everyone seems on board
The Ultimate Baku-stalgia.
A lot of it comes from the og video game (not the nintendo switch competitive ring toss one) and I really dig it. Especially the crazy shenanigans like accidentally initiating a triple battle.
@@christopherbennett5858 Ah, I remember that game! I loved the brawling mechanics and the various arenas. It's a shame that Leonidas and Vladitor didn't get their own toys.
@@christopherbennett5858 now if only there is a way to shoot oponents bakugan and do haos special throw
I have three Bakugan Decks built and ready for any battle ahead of me. Jet, you better hope you don't run into me and in a Target parking lot. No but seriously I don't have anyone to battle against so they're literally just sitting around. And I don't have anywhere to battle.
I have old school bakugan with missprinted g power, its supposed to be 650g but it says 6500g lol, I dont know how did the factory managed to do it but its there
R.I.P,hopefully you find good brawlers.
@@Jallu555 I have one with missprint too, one g letter too much
@Morningstar if you have siblings try to ask them to play with you and let them choose the bakugan for you
@@Jacob-oq1yd my step sister lives in Texas, one of my other little sisters is a 16 year old high school student so that's off the table, and my two other little sisters are too young to actually understands the game.
I love gate card play. It reminds me of the way they played in the legacy show (but i guess thats the whole idea right😅). I always practice my spin rolls by putting 2 bakugan just close enough together(one in front, and one in the back) so i can try to roll a bakugan between them
You have no idea how much my sides hurt from haos being ventus. I've never laughed so hard in ages!
Your 'Haos is Ventus' line made me remember that Subterra no longer exists, and that makes me sad. I mained Subterra back in the legacy era
I cant wait did anyone see that in walmart they have the limited edition bakugan 1/500
Yes. mi no Americano so cant get one.

Ooooh, Melee's looking like fun! If nothing else I appreciate the more toy-centric approach to battles: I've always leaned more on the toyetic than TCG side of the franchise, and having a format that's more about the figures and physical interactions between them on the field is a wonderful addition. ^__^
It's almost like a billiards version of bakugan.
Yeah kinda!
Your Melee Bakugan really seen like that you combine Bakutech and old classic Bakugan and the reboot but i like the idea
Combining all the legacy games and the reboot into one fun game for Gate Cards was the goal, yes!
Jett, you’ve outdone yourself. I love this idea for bakugan Melee, and I’m gonna bring it up to my boys here in Michigan! You’ve got me sold!
Let me know how it goes!! Good luck and have fun!

Same tbh, I'd love to see some reboot Bakugan released as variants with the legacy color schemes.
Yea OG ventus is much better
This is actually A GOOD IDEA!! "Bakugan Melee". That is an absolute INTERESTING way to use the Gate Cards to its advantage... MAYBE PERHAPS that IS what Spin Master INTENDED all along..~! Who knows? owo
Thank you Jett! I havent played Bakugan in so long and eventually forgot about the game but after finding your channel and seeing how much the games has evolved and improve I cant wait to play to agian!!
I'd say Bakugan in New Vestroia had the perfect amount of depth. It gave us Battlegear with unique abilities, Bakugan Traps with their own ability cards, spinning Bakugan, a die throwing Bakugan, combining Bakugan, etc.
Hey Jett, I’m making a Bakugan fanfic that includes some of Melee’s rule. Like the Baku-Cores and Gate Cards
Aw cool!
Dude, I'd love to read that, shoot that shit over
It’s at CMBasher7, and is called Bakugan Dragon Brawlers in which I basically write the episodes of Bakugan and add Bakugan of my own creation and is somewhat a HTTYD adaptation in a way. I’ve already made 2 Bakugan’s based on the Nuckelavee and Frankenstein’s monster.
THIS is how bakugan should be played, they should put this in the rulebook
Dude, this is amazing. It takes the best elements from all three different game styles and mashes them together to form something that all players can get into. I might start looking at playing this myself.
For a guy with less than 20k subscribers I have to say that the quality of these videos is absolutely insane. I've seen 1M+ sub channels with production quality that pales in comparison to this. You make me want to play Bakugan again.
Thank you VERY much! We strive for quality always.
@@JettKuso What sets do you recommend for getting into the Bakugan TCG?
@@airos7584 Battle Brawlers, Resurgence, and Armored Elite are the sets with the most dense good stuff in em! The unfortunate reality is that TCG boosters are REALLY hard to get your hands on right now. The distribution channels were never very strong, and got messed up even worse by Covid-19. That said, I'm hopeful things will get more and more available as time goes on and more LGSs pick up the game. The best thing you can do is contact your Local Game Store and ask if they have bakugan or would be willing to pick up Bakugan! The more people do that, the more stores will probably get on board.
I've never played, let alone owned a single Bakugan, but this sounds a heck of a lot more fun that the rules the company have put forth
I remember the old gate cards back in the day. Saying "field open and gate card set" was fun and now that im 20 i feel that nostalgia. Personally i like the new toy game cause i never found out how to play tcg and u can collect and play like back school. And baku gear fun too
I used to make the noises with my mouth. other people didn't like it. But I did
Jett you are a genius. I need all of these rules written down haha
They will be! I'll have a link to the doccument in a pinned comment soon, and there will be a room for discussion on PegatrixMatrix! discord.com/invite/W3ujCfK
Please make a video of you guys actually playing this. I only own 3 bakugan from the new series but only for collection. Im getting so many bakutech/brawler vibes from this and Im living for it!
When you said “field open” may face split into a HUGE grin. Loved it!
Part of the fun was that when you landed on a gate card, you didn't know what was gonna happen. Were you gonna land on that alpha hydranoid character card, or a mind ghost. It made playing a bit more defensive the better option, but the daring had actual stakes
Ideas: froststrike: opponent cannot use bakucores that turn (or a certain number of the bakucores are removed from his bakugan. Shadowstrike: you can use that certain number of used bakucores in the battle (only that turn) Doublestrike: double the effects, only b-power, and/ or the damage, of the bakucores Damage (power, you know, that little fist):The bakugan with the highest damage can choose to move a bakugan if it lands on the same gatecard on a gatecard connected to that one The hexagons on gate-cards: as long as gatecards form perfect hexagon shapes with their art (the drawing on the back) that gate-card positioning is legal. Bakugear: if a bakucore you own has a bakugear symbol on it, you can utilize a bakugear in the turn you play that core. (!BONUS!)Half-set: to implement the use of bakucores, maybe you would be allowes to place them, as long as they fit the matrix-pattern (they don't have sides that touch gatecards at points where there is an incomplete hexagon, or it formes a different shape than a hexagon. Exception: if the damage would allow you to move a bakugan on that certain gate-card on a gatecard where you just knocked an enemy bakugan on, you are not allowed to do that. Battles when bakugan land on bakucores: RULE 1: You are not allowed to stand on a bakucore you put that turn on the field RULE 2: If a bakucore your bakugan just landed on *WAS TOUCHING* (when it was positioned) a bakugan where there is another bakugan already, the following things can happen: 1) If the bakugan are both yours, that counts as a double-stand, and both, the gate-card, and the bakucore go in your used pile 2)If one of the bakugan is not yours, a battle engages, the core boost being applied only to the bakugan that has landed on it, the one on the gate-card being applied, also, only to the bakugan that has landed on the gate-card. Those are my suggestions, I hope I could help🤗!
What about Shadowstrike: "You may use a used Bakucore for this battle. After it is removed from the game." Basically making it that you can reuse a core, but only once a piece if you have three Shadowstrikes.
I want Bakugan Melee to be an actual thing! I takes all the good things from the legacy, bakutech and combines it into one. Great idea Jett!
Spin master: *Taking notes*
bruh your production quality is insane, haven't bought a bakugan in like 10 years and I never was really deep into it but your videos are just so damn nice to watch
After watching this video, I went to buy all the stuff needed to create my first Melee deck. I loved the Legacy version of the game as a kid and the Melee format makes me feel like I'm playing it, but in a more "serious" and more "adult" way. Thank you for creating this format, it's literally what got me back into the game!
This sounds so fun! this video is the closest that has come to making me run out and buy some bakugan and gate cards. Simple but fun gameplay with enough depth to keep things interesting. Man, this is great :)
That what how meme was the moment where I realized this was more than a channel focused on a kid's game. It has personality and comedy for the chad man that grew up with the older bakugan. You rock, dude!
Honestly, I think Melee could work with using older series Bakugan from Battle Brawlers through Bakutech (just replace Subterra with Aurelius). That way the variety is much larger, and more of the skill from Bakutech or the other options could come into play.
Wow you really went the extra mile, im getting back into bakugan with my lil brother and im really liking your content.
I just got an idea for Baku-gear for Bakugan Melee, use what the show (Reboot) does “Baku-gear only happens when your Bakugan are in trouble” you can play Baku-gear when you B-power is low or your Baku-cores aren’t powerful enough. You can have at least 3 types of Baku-gear and attach to any Bakugan if you have that attribute.
Wow! Bakugan melee is such a great idea. Its amazing that you guys came up with this idea
Thanks for another great video, Jett! Love your channel, keep up your amazing work! 🤩
Thank you!
As someone who had lost all connection with Bakugan since the first anine ended I really enjoy and appreciate these videos you make Jett, keep up the good work!
For the legacy series the Japanese Gate cards looked amazing faced up and down. The art was so stylized and unique
Whenever my friends ask me to teach them Bakugan I always start with Bakugan Melee because of how fun and simple it is. I was teaching a friend how to play 2 days ago and we had 4 cards on the field, my friend had a Bakugan on Gate Card next to one I had a Bakugan on. I rolled my next Bakugan trying to get a Critical K.O but instead I knock her Bakugan into a battle with the one I had on the field prior to my roll. It eventually ended in me winning thanks to Bakucores
God that’s so good
"Do I eat gate cards?" Lol omg best bakugan youtuber ever!
Man this video is months old but I found out that Bakugan still exists literally yesterday and I've fallen down the rabbit hole. Once corona calms down I'm planning to get together with some pals and having a Bakugan tournament to the death (either being knocked out by losing your Bakugan a la the original show or by alcohol poisoning) and I think Melee is going to be the ruleset to use. Thanks for putting this together!
I commented on a previous video that I had no interest in the TCG, but your format idea is genuinely compelling. I'd absolutely love to see it get off the ground and become more popular.
bakugan melee reminds me of when i was very young and i would sit and watch bakugan for hours like the double stand critical and how they stay on the gate card i love the idea jett❤
Jett are gate effects really back . Yeeeeeeeeesss!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awww yes
when you threw those gate cards i felt personally attacked
I really gotta say, Bakugan Melee is one of the best formats ever. SpinMaster, please hire him already. 😁🙏
I really like this, particularly your melee version. The pro with the 40 card deck can be fun but I'm not invested enough to put a ton of money into buying cards and a ton of time into figuring out the best arrangement of my many many cards. It's complicated and with how fast new cards come out you have to stay pretty up to date on the meta. The legacy game was nice and simple, easy to explain to my friends when I was little (until gear and traps which was when I gave up; again, too complicated for me). Your melee version is pretty simple and easy to get, there's not a ton of card strategy behind it. Plus it's like battle bots but Bakugan. And the throwing the cores onto ultras is so cool, I love mimicking the show like that!! I've never been a card game person, I just haven't grown up that way, respect for those who are though. The fun of Bakugan for me was the neat engineering of how they folded up, which was also a toy I could play with by myself (I don't have siblings). This is why it beat Pokémon for me because there was something physical that did something interesting, not just a plushie or an action figure that waves its paw--it was so much more. Thanks for the video and the great game ideas!

convince spinmaster to make this official
I love the shade you threw at the Eva Rebuilds because you are correct 😁
This is great! Thank you! Similar to the original game. I'm going to play this version from now on! Spin master needs you! 👍
Recently got back into bakugan and melee is by far the most fun I've had with this series.
TCG: I'm the format Bakugan needs! Melee: I'm the format Bakugan deserves!
Holee sh- those rules make it all worth it! You really used the best attributes of the game and captured throwing, positioning and battling really well I might use these rules if I ever play this in a game store 👀
“ So it’s good to recite Thierry intelligence “ well said magic man
It's soooo good to hear "field open!" Again after so long
Well at least I can go on a nostalgia trip with the rules I knew 10 years ago...
Gave this game a try tonight and it was super fun!
Spin Master should really take Bakugan melee into consideration.
Bakugan Melee sounds SICK! Now I wanna build my deck and try out this format!!
Awesome video !!
I didn't think this would happen I'm so excited
THANK YOU for coming with up with a fun way to play this game. My son (6 yo) can have a blast just rolling the bakugan but I am bored out of my mind. This helps!
Bakugan Melee just reminded me of my childhood memories of the original series and game, and also dan and shun. all we are missing if anyone remembers it, the doom card.
The best thing i like about the videogame is how you have a chance to win even if your bakugan has very low point and even if you stand on your opponent gate card ... The way it used to work is with the points you collect around the map and with the mini games after the battle starts ... The ridiculous thing now is how you get 700 points on your gate card ... And your opponent get -200 ... This will make your opponent running away from standing on your gate card ... Cuz that's free points for you ... And we can all agree that the battle is the best part ... Any ways ... Throwing dice could be a nice way for extra points (as a mini game at the start of battle) ... And maybe puting something like the baku cores in random places so if you pass by them ... U get the effect (like the collecting in the videogame) ... That aside ... Love your videos
Thanks for the Bakugan Melee, it is so much better!
I haven’t play but from theory crafting and listening to you explain the inns and outs of Bakugon melee i’ve come up with some suggestions that might help, 1. When adding a baku core, The B Power underneath them should be hidden from the opponent until both players have declared to stop adding core for that battle, then you flip them over and add the boost . That way you might be able to trick the opponent into using their most powerful core when they never need to. And sure when it comes to extremely high competitive Teenage and adult players don’t know the maximum power of each type of core rendering this system kind of obsolete, but for children (The primary target) this And an extra layer of strategy, and plus since most likely they won’t have the maximum power for each type of core this gives them a use for the weaker ones not making them completely worthless, as bluff fodder 2. How to implement Baku gear: like before in the legacy series you can have two of any Baku gear, since there is no icon of baku gear The only time you can deploy a Baku gear when you land on an enemy gate card (taking a page from double strike) you can attach any baku gear to any Bakugan regardless of faction,but only one baku gear for Bakugan per battle, in battle when you deploy Baku gear you get your bass attribute Power up along with The attribute of your baku gear, almost like fusions but you have more control over it. Which is why I thought making it only applicable on enemy gate cards was a fair trade off. Also once their use they never come back until you start a new game Of course another way I thought of implementing them would be make them playable whenever you land on any card, With still being only allowed to use one, and still getting the boost of the base attribute and the gears attribute, Along with only being allowed to use them once a game, But whenever you do it you are not allowed to play Cors in that battle. This open some other strategical elements. For one you can attempt to bait out your opponent into playing the cores to confirm the win In the early game. Leaving them with nothing in the later half forcing them to rely on double stands or stays , critical knockout. afterthoughts: putting these down here because I just thought of them after writing all of that, I feel like fusions and baku gear should not be allowed in the same deck for obvious reasons. Being allowed to access three different attribute boost is a bit absurd. Also for timing he would place the gear at the beginning of the battle before other players added cores
Bakugan can be enjoyed again. Thanks Jett
I totally hope this catches on Melee looks super fun!
This is so good! I'm absolutely going to be playing this!
Let me know what you think once you’ve tried it out!
If I were a gam designer I would have cores that have the bakugear symbol on them allow the player to attach a bakugear onto the bakugan that the core is being played on
That intro was amazing 😂😂
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR A LONG TIME.
Same badly
I was talking about this with a friend of mine recently, we talked about the Action cards and a way of implementing them. He said about trying it with Action cards with an energy cost total of 12 or less and I would love to try that too! I'm still thinking on how to use gear and Geogan and stuff but yeah!
Amazing! I'll definitely play this, now if only I could find a gate card...
Spin master should add this to their instructions.
Yes i cant wait for gate cards
I love this way of playing.
For the sake of including Legacy Bakugan, Subterra should be treated as Aurelus and vice versa. In general, would love the ability to include older legacy Bakugan. Such as rocking Komba's deck.
Please do a video battling with this wonderful ruleset. (I want to see you to playing, not 2 friends of yours)
I absolutely will make something of the sort.
Very nice!
I personally think Melee should just be Classic. 3 gate cards, 3 ability cards, and 3 bakugan is a good easy to carry setup for a game that you can easily carry two sets of so you can battle with any stranger
pretty cool idea!
Dudeeee you’re making me wanna pick the game back up at 20 years old
My favorite part of Bakugan Melee is that it's really easy to take your Battle Brawlers/Bakutech Bakugan and play them alongside your Battle Planet Bakugan, it really is a perfect fusion of all of the Bakugan formats. Even if that's a slight bend of one of the rules, it makes it easier for me to play with my younger siblings.
you are an oracle you predicted with the portal cards that it will become official proof with the episode of geogan rising "gate card set" with the way you play with it 😍
When you said field open I just felt pure nostalgia bro
Yay more channels!
i thought im the only one that doesnt fully understand the game rules until ive watched this video hahaha thanks man this helps alot bro !!!
