Virtual Set 2013 – El Capitan!

This week marks the finally of part one for the 2013 Virtual Set. We want to give some of these cards time to simmer, and make their way through the online and live circuits. So we decided to round up some old favorites for the mid-season finale. We weren’t sure if we should go with Captain Ginyu or the Ginyu Force for a new personality set, but ultimately the decision  came down to how best to introduce and include members of the Ginyu Force that had not been in the game yet, and ultimately Captain Ginyu was the way to go.

12 Captain Ginyu Lv. 1

13 Captain Ginyu Lv. 2

14a Captain Ginyu Lv. 3Captain Ginyu is now a more unconventional ally deck. He uses allies, but only those in the Sensei Deck. This means that since Captain Ginyu only goes to Lv. 3, he can only have non-Majin Lv. 1 Villain allies in his Sensei Deck. But some of those powers are pretty useful and can make Captain Ginyu a pretty dangerous tool box character.

Where Ginyu really shines, is that he may be one of the best 1-3 Most Powerful Personality Characters since Majin Buu Saga Goku (so watch out, Bojack). Having access to some really great powers, like Broly’s, Android 17’s, Dr. Wheelo’s and Zarbon’s can really help you jump up to Lv. 3 as fast as you can. Packing a copy or two of Virtual Card Just Saiyan could actually win you some quick anger games. Heck, even a well timed Krillin’s Thoughts with Dr. Wheelo’s power could instantly spell the end for speed ball decks. Ginyu has a lot of potential in many different areas, but like in the show (and reflected by his Lv. 3’s power levels) he can’t maximize the powers he steals to their full potential with any given deck.

You can’t just pack all Constant Combat Power personalities in your Sensei Deck though. For your Lv. 3, you really need to have some good finishing Lv. 1 ally powers. Rest assured, there are a few. The Virtual Cell is a decent choice, potentially allowing you to get two copies of Cell Smiles out for the next combat. Ultimately, fellow Ginyu Force member Guldo is one of the best personalities for Captain Ginyu Lv. 3, and can really spell the end for an opponent. In fact, Guldo’s power is so awesome that we felt there was no point in making a new Guldo for the Virtual set. We did, however, make a new version of every other Ginyu Force member with a power (not Constant Combat Power) that really works well with Ginyu, either as an ally or in the Sensei Deck.

Check back tomorrow for a first ever alt art Virtual Card. Later, BroZ!
