Flip Summon ≠ Special Summon

"A Flip Summon is also considered a Special Summon."

Since when?! --Yami Aguilar 05:22, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Since always. Read the rulebook. --TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 17:09, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I've read it many times, and it never said that Flip Summons are Special Summons. Can you give me a direct quote from the rulebook? Are you also saying that a card like Royal Oppression can destroy Flip Summoned monsters and that Jowgen the Spiritualist can prevent monsters from being Flip Summoned and that Sacred Crane's effect can be activated when Flip Summoned? All of those would be true if Flip Summons were Special Summons, none of those were true last time I checked. It's true that, like Special Summons, there is no limit to the number of Flip Summons one can perform in a turn, but that doesn't automatically make them Special Summons. Also, why do certain cards (like Bottomless Trap Hole) say ..."Normal Summons, Flip Summons or Special Summons..." if Flip Summons are Special Summons? Why not also include Tribute Summons, Fusion Summons and Ritual Summons? Because Special Summons already include Fusion Summons and Ritual Summons, and Normal Summons include Tribute Summons. Flip Summons, however, are completely different from Normal Summons and Special Summons.--Yami Aguilar 16:09, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

The rulebook did say that Flip Summons are not Normal Summons, but the rulebook never said that Flip Summons are Special Summons, so there is no reason to believe that. The rulebook also said "A Special Summon is when Fusion, Ritual, Spell, Traps or Monster Effects are used to place another monster on the field." Does a Flip Summon require a card effect to occur? No. In fact, if a monster is flipped face-up due to a card effect it is considered to NOT have been Special Summoned. I even invite you to email UDE to verify this. They'll be glad to correct you.[email protected]

Guys "Flip Summon" is just like a "Special Summon". they both can be summoned many times unless there's a restriction. Special Summon always comes from card effects. Flip Summon comes from "set monsters" being revealed manually ("Main Phases"). If Flip Summon is also confided Special Summon then you can never flip any monsters on your own.--Wasn't (talkcontribs) 19:42, March 27, 2011 (UTC)
