Fusion Summoning was one of the first mechanics ever introduced into Yugioh, but unlike today it used to be TERRIBLE.

I guess the idea early YGO designers had was that Fusionist was basically a special summon, which was a lot more restricted. Alongside tribute summoning, there was a lot of overestimation on people's willingness to dump multiple cards into a Dark Hole. You could land a turn 1 Summoned Skull if you have the right cards and are willing to 4-for-1 yourself.

I would be cool to have a series that really focused on ritual summons like GX did with fusion.

I recall seeing someone bring up that "lore-wise" fusions are not a perfect combination of two monsters, but instead a strange blending where some of the "aspects" that made the monster strong are lost. The example they gave was Blue Eyes Ultimate dragon being 4500 atk even though mixing three BEs SHOULD give it a much higher atk (ex 9000) but energy/power is lost in the process; kinda gives a weird explanation as why Fusionist would be the way it is

I'm glad that around the GX era, E Heroes at least tried to make Fusion more appealing.

They also had really weird levels. A bunch of vanilla monsters that required a tribute and only had like 1500 attack and less defense.

You used to only be able to Special Summon from the Fusion deck by having very specific cards. Now, you can Ritual Summon using a generic ritual spell into a Level 1 ritual monster that is also tuner with an effect that allows you to fusion summon a monster by banishing generic materials from your field or grave, and one of those fusion monsters you can possibly summons allows you to set up either a Synchro OR Xyz summon.

This isn't even an exaggeration. Cynet Ritual, Cyberse Sage, and Cyberse Deavewurm are the three cards mentioned here.

Till this day, I'm still wondering why they turn Flame Swordsman into fusion monster when in the anime it's just a normal monster

Dark Flare Knight is also weaker than one of its Fusion Materials (Dark Magician + Flame Swordsman)

Would be kinda funny if they made a card which specifically required "Fusionist" (as its original name) to be on the field or trinuted or whatever, and for that cards effect to actually be worth playing the worst engine ever, aka Fusionist-turbo

Yep, also the attack and defense ratio sometimes deterred and annoyed a lot of people. Hell, majority of them didn't really give an honest reason to summon them (no effects).

What was surprising is how gate guardian wasn't a fusion monster when you needed all 3 to summon it.
And that attack power was whack.

It's interesting they bothered to introduce the mechanic so early. In the manga/anime, there were barely any Fusions.

That's why a bunch of cards aren't Fusions in the anime, but are Fusions in the actual game. Desperate to push the mechanic, cards were converted from being Normal Monsters into Fusions when adapted to the real life card game.

That's also why they rarely resembled their Fusion Materials, with the exceptions usually being the Fusions that were actually Fusions in the Manga/Anime.

It's so funny how scared early yugioh was of special summoning given that it's what the game is basically built off now

Now rush duels has fusion summoning and maximum summoning

In my opinion, the "Fusion Deck" should have included the Ritual monsters and the (shall we say) "special" monsters like "Metal Zoa" and "Dark Sage" from the very beginning. Sure, this may not have helped when it came to the Fusion mechanic due to the Fusion monsters not making any sense sometimes, but it could have helped lead to the more modern Fusion materials (such as 2 Dark monsters) sooner.

What I also thought was weird and never found out the reason for this is the text box for Flower Wolf from LOB, all other fusion monsters just list the names of all the materials, with a + sign in between but for some reason Flower Wolf’s text box says “Fusion:” right before the 2 materials needed

I thought the card you were gonna talk about was sanwitch which was a combination of sangan and witch of the black forest. Now you can definitely see the use as if theyre both on the field and fuse em you get the effects, but for a good part of the game's life now both cards were banned so it was hard to make :P

I am still surprised they didn't move rituals to the extra deck early on, it feels like a missing part of extra deck growth if you ignore pendulums. Relinquished would've probably also been banned for similar reasons T.E.R was, but they would've been better as a whole

There also wasn’t a hard limit to how many Fusion Monsters you could put in your Fusion deck. While this didn’t matter for most decks that used Fusion Monsters, HEROES had so many different ones that they could easily have Fusion decks that had more cards than their main decks.

This is the reason why I hate the “Rituals suck, there’s no reason to give them support” argument. Yeah, so did Fusions. If Rituals don’t get a chance to even become better of course they’re gonna suck

A good Idea to help some decks unbrick is to release some fusion monsters listing the bricks, like sanwhich, even if it a vanilla, even without a specific fusion spell card, fusion deployment makes it searchable. I would love to see ahrima+duke shade, even as a vanilla fusion monster.
