Generation Force Rulings

Alright guys, since the last rulings post I made for EXCV seemed to quite useful to alot of people so I am doing them again for Generation Force. here are the various card rulings from GNEF, you can go read them up yourself from here for those who can read Japanese. As before, I basically listed out most of the rulings which are important here, for card effects go to Shriek to check them out yourself. Click on Read More!

Extra disclaimer: The translations done here are accurate as of 1 May 2011. Specially waited 2 weeks before posting up this so they should be accurate. However, if there are any updates to the rulings, feel free to update in the comments area. Just note that it wasnt an error in my translations as some people tried to make it seem so the last time....

GaGaGa Magician
- Even if Skill Drain is on the field, it still cannot be used for synchro
- If Phantom of Chaos copies GaGaGa Magician's effect, Phantom of Chaos can be used for synchro summon
- If you use its effect to become Level 8, then Level Stealer uses 1 level from it to become level 7, after the end phase it becomes level 3
- You cannot activate its effect to declare level 4, as it is already level 4

GoGoGo Golem
- If this card is set and attacked, it can still activate its effect to prevent being destroyed by battle once per turn

Goblindbergh
- In the Chain Block, the special summon happens first, then the turning to defense effect happens after that
- Therefore if you special summon monsters like E-Hero Stratos, Stratos's effect cannot take place as the timing to activate is missed
- If Light of Intervention is on the field, and you summon this monster in defense mode, and use its effect to special summon E-Hero Stratos, its effect to turn to defense cannot take place (As it is already in defense), and Stratos's effect can take place

Bugman X/Y/Z
- If Bugman X activates its effect and an effect is chained that destroys the Bugman Y on the field, the effect to special summon Bugman Z will not go through
- The same applies for the other counter parts

Super Bugman
- You can special summon this monster from grave after it has been legally initially special summoned by its effect (Similar to Chaos Sorcerer)
- If this card is on the field and Scar Red Nova Dragon is synchro summoned (with 2 tuners in grave), Scar Red Nova Dragon's final stats are 3000 attack, 4500 defense (Similar for Copycat, whatever it copies will have its stats reversed afterwards)
- If Rush Recklessly is used on E-Hero Dark Brightman (Stats become 2700/1000), and Super Bugman is summoned, Dark Brightman's stats become 1000/2700, and 1000/2000 after the end of the turn
- If Sangan's stats are 600/1000 while Super Bugman is on the field, and Gale's effect is used on Sangan to make it 300/500, then Super Bugman leaves the field afterwards, Sangan's stats become 500/300

Mainspring Magician
- Its effect cannot be activated during the damage step
- Its effect can be activated after the other Mainspring monster's effect has been resolved
- If there are multiple Magician's on the field, you can activate all their effects at the same time when 1 other Mainspring monster's effect activates

Mainspring Juggler
- When this card would be destroyed by battle, you can activate it's effect to destroy the other monster
- If this card attacks and will be destroying the monster by battle, it cannot activate it's effect to destroy it by its effect instead

Fly-Fang
- Its trample effect is continous and its removal effect is a trigger effect
- Its effect to remove itself does not go into chain block
- If it is flipped face down in chain to its effect to remove itself, it will still be removed from game and return to the field in face down defense mode during the next standby phase

Sky Oni-Eating Ray
- Works exactly similar to Fly-Fang, read above
- If its attack is negated by a card like Magic Cylinder, it cannot activate it's effect to remove itself

Air Orca
- Removal effects similar to Fly-Fang
- Its removal occurs after the targetted card is destroyed
- If the targetted card is no longer on the field when resolving the effect, it does not remove itself

Wing Turtoise
- Its effect to special summon itself cannot be activated during the damage step
- You can only special summon 1 copy of it when the legal monster is removed from the field
- If this card is in the hand when you activate the effect, and it is sent to grave in response (E.g. Mind Crush), you cannot special summon that same card from the grave instead

Space-Time Police
- If the selected card is turned face down at resolution, the card is not removed
- The effect to return the set selected card to the field enters chain block
- If the selected card is a monster, it can only be returned in face down defense, and not face down attack mode
- If Dark Simorgh is on the field when Space-Time Police leaves the field, the removed card does not return to the field and stays removed instead
- When the selected monster is set back to the field when Space-Time Police leaves the field, it is considered a special summon and you cannot flip it face up during that turn, as it was just summoned
- When the selected magic/trap is set back to the field when Space-Time Police leaves the field, you cannot flip it face up during that turn, even if it is a permanent magic card
- The postion on the field that the selected card returns set to the field is decided by the player activating the Space-Time Police's effect

Time Escaper
- If the selected monster is flipped face down in response to Time Escaper's effect, the selected monster is still removed, and returns in face down defense mode during the next standby phase
- The effect of the selected monster returning to the field does not use the Chain Block

Gusta Codor
- If it attacks a monster with similar attack and dies together, its effect is not activated

Cyclone, chain Call of Haunted for Jinzo) In that situation, the chain block is fully resolved before Real Crusader's effect is activated
