I mean, Yusei virtually never lost, but that still didn't make him a fun or interesting character in the slightest. On the other hand Chazz/Manjoume was the best character in his season by a country mile and he was a horrendous jobber with a deck that existed to mildly annoy people most of the time. Which isn't to say jobbers are inherently better, Kaiba hardly ever jobbed and was the best character in his show. What I'm saying is, the actual cardgames have always been more of a vehicle for high-impact smugness than anything else and the actual quality of your decklist has no impact on how much of a ham you are while playing it.

Hey, I liked Yusei. I'd go so far as to say he's my favourite protagonist, just from how his playstyle was always so combo-heavy, and with so many interlocking pieces of something that felt like a giant multilayered engine. I'm not going to say he didn't have his fair share of bullshit victories, especially near the end, but i liked Yusei and his rather quiet and taciturn style over a lot of the bombast of some other protagonists i could name.
