Soy Duelling, also sometimes referred to as a "'jak off" is the culmination of the Soyical Arts, and the centre of soy culture.
Summary
A popular competitive event, in which two or more posters continuously quote each other with various soyjaks. Essential to the game is the selection of fitting soyjaks for each specific quote, but also for countering the soyjaks of the opponent. Running out of soyjaks amounts to an instant loss. For this reason, a successful soy duelist needs to spend much time and effort building his "deck". Duels may also involve mass quoting.
Duels can commence in designated dueling threads or by the happenstance of two soyposters running into each other while both attempting to derail the same thread.
Mechanics
Most soy duels never have a real winner, due to the ease of finding soyjaks. Websites such as the SoyBooru and KnowYourMeme allow for duelers to easily find more soyjaks should they run out.
With that being said, there still are some ways to judge who is "winning" and who is "losing" in a soy duel:
- Things that indicate winning:
- High quality soyjaks for the situation
- Effective quoting and timely replies
- Things that indicate losing:
- Soyjaks that do not represent the situation
- Soyjaks with filenames from knowyourmeme (usually a 3 character alphanumeric sequence)
- Failed quotations
- Running out of soyjaks
- Posting Swedish Fails
- Posting Chudjaks
Reception
The game has been praised for its depth and the theorycrafting required from the duelists. [1]
