...  And this should give you an understanding of how bad Google Translate is... Allow me to give you a proper translation.

Original (I copy/pasted this from you, Future.)  "Ancient tambien tiene un OTK relativamente facil, si el oponente no tiene centro ataco directo con Tyrant 2 veces y use Evil Crusher, solo se necesita 6 Gauge lo que no es dificil para Ancient."

Proper translation "Ancient also has a relatively easy OTK, if the opponent has no center, I direct attack with Tyrant 2 times and use Evil Crusher, it only needs 6 gauge which isn't hard for Ancient"

Google Translate translation you gave us "Ancient also has a relatively easy OTK, if the opponent has no direct attacked center with Tyrant 2 times and use Evil Crusher, only needs 6 Gauge so it is not difficult for Ancient."

The translation you drew from that "Ancient also has a relatively easy OTK, if the opponent allows two direct attacks to center by Tyrant and use Evil Crusher, it needs only 6 gauge so it is not difficult for Ancient."

Now compare the differences for a moment. Now I realize that the gist still gets through, but if you look at each of the translations, the subtle differences each give a very different meaning. Okay, so "dificil" can technically translate to "difficult", especially since they share a root word and all, but that's not really a point of contention I have here. "Lo que" basically means "it that", "so" doesn't appear in the original, untranslated version. I admit that my translation of "lo que" to "which" isn't really something I'm entirely comfortable saying is a "direct" translation, but it's the most grammatically correct and most accurate translation I could come up with. "if the opponent allows two direct attacks to center by Tyrant", what you drew out of it, has a very different connotation than "if the opponent has no center, direct attack two times with Tyrant". I'd like to point out that Google Translate left out a pronoun which proper English would have considered very important... Necesitarse's conjugation there properly implies what needs the gauge (the whole combo), Google Translate's translation doesn't. "direct attacked" on Google Translate is probably the result of a missing comma after "centro", the computer carrying on as though "ataco directo" are adjectives instead of a verb and adverb... Which goes to show that you cannot rely on a translation program for translations if you want any sort of clarity in what you're reading.

tl;dr  Yes, Google Translate is okay for people who just want the gist of what's being said. But if you want to truly understand what is actually being said (that is, the PRECISE meaning of the phrase in question), ask someone to translate for you.
