Talk:Gao Mikado/@comment-10601551-20141006154210/@comment-24965906-20141006223240

I think the reason (maybe a hidden one) why people want Gao to lose so badly is because he has no reason for winning besides purely for plot. I'm talking about those moment's where if you weren't Gao Mikado, you'd be slain.

I admit Gao does have the skill for his wins, but come on'! I mean, yea the MC has to win majority of the time, but atleast they had reasons to most of the time. Let's take YGO as example.

For ex. Yugi had Atem, who had Shadow Games Magic and 'Heart of the Cards' and pure brains. Yusei...he was smart enough to learn theoretical particle physics by himself, I think he'd be smart enough to win at Card Games, especially with Signer Power added in later.Yuma had Astral. Idk about Yuya because I haven't watched it yet.

The closest character to Gao was Jaden/Judai especially in first season, but maybe it's too early, as Jaden did have Supreme King/Yubel and has suffered massive losses.

While Gao can figure out a good counter strategy, which is a good trait, it's mostly the fact that he gets exactly what he needs, out of pure luck. Yes some of the examples I listed have done this to win, but atleast they had some mystic power to draw that card(s). Gao had pure luck, in a game not as focused on luck like CF. Example, Versus Genma in ABC Cup final, and the fight with Disaster!Kiri.

And the fact that he changes from worrying about his opponent to figuring out a counter in a snap. Gao himself isn't a bad character imo. He's a nice kid and a good friend unless you're Kiri. It's just him in a match is just...ugh.
