Female Yu-Gi-Oh player quits tournament because opponents smelled bad GallopA Yu-Gi-Oh card tournament smelled so bad that a player decided to drop out because she couldn\u2019t stand it anymore. Personal hygiene is always important, but some gaming conventions and tournaments have earned a reputation for their players not exactly showing up fresh. Over the years we\u2019ve seen plenty of instances where an attendee\u2019s smell causes backlash and it\u2019s not just limited to the United States. Earlier this month, a Japanese tournament went off the rails when a player\u2019s smell was so bad, it made a competitor quit. The situation became public in a thread on X where a player expressed concern for one of the women competing after revealing it was her first-ever Yu-Gi-Oh event and was under the impression she got clobbered. However, the female player would set the matter straight, revealing that she left because of third-rate duelists with fourth-rate hygiene. \u201cI left halfway through because I couldn\u2019t stand the smell,\u201d she said. \u201cNot that I\u2019m sad about losing at all or anything.\u201d In the comments, the player elaborated on the disgust, explaining that the smell was \u201cno laughing matter\u201d and urged duelists to take baths. \u201cThere are some stinky female duelists, but the men are in a class of their own,\u201d she added. Hygiene has been so much of an issue at Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments that Konami even made a rule that players who show up smelling bad or wearing dirty clothes could be penalized. The problem isn\u2019t limited to Yu-Gi-Oh either. Last year, Smash pro Cosmos struggled to find deodorant at a tournament after his opponent complained about his body odor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
