== Flip Summon ≠ Special Summon ==

''"A [[Flip Summon]] is also considered a Special Summon."''

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

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

I've read it many times, and it never said that [[Flip Summon]]s are [[Special Summon]]s. 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 Summon]]s, Flip Summons or Special Summons..." if Flip Summons are Special Summons? Why not also include [[Tribute Summon]]s, [[Fusion Summon]]s and [[Ritual Summon]]s? 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.--[[User:Yami Aguilar|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.[mailto:entertainment@upperdeck.com entertainment@upperdeck.com]

: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 always 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.--[[User:Wasn&#39;t|Wasn&#39;t]] ([[User talk:Wasn&#39;t|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Wasn&#39;t|contribs]]) 19:42, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

;I forgot to say "Any monsters flipped by a card effect isn't considered flip summoned".--[[User:Wasn&#39;t|Wasn&#39;t]] ([[User talk:Wasn&#39;t|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Wasn&#39;t|contribs]]) 19:54, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

I have a question: I'm pretty certain that you can't do this: Flip Summon a monster, activate "Book of Moon", and Flip Summon it again. Am I right?{{User:BobaFett2/sig2}}

:Only as long as "[[Double Summon]]" was activate, or at least oddly card that could permission "Flip Summon again". But "Flip Summon" is part of "Normal Summon", since after it "flipped", it cannot change into any kind of position anymore for rest of the turn. Like Wasn't said, Book'f Taiyou the Flip Summon-effect monster won't help it to troll off the card from opponent's (like Medusa) since it's not consider as summon, only as effect causing. --<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';">[[User:FredCat100|<span style="color:black;"><font size="3">F</font></span>]][[User talk:FredCat100|<span style="color:black;"><font size="2">r</font></span>]][[User:FredCat100/friends|<span style="color:black;"><font size"2">e</font></span>]][[User:FredCat100/Ruling List|<span style="color:black;"><font size="2">d</font></span>]][[User:FredCat100/Disambiguation/Memoir_(disambiguation)|<span style="color:black;"><font size="3">C</font></span>]][[User:FredCat100/Theory_of_Evilness_of_Yusei_Fudo|<span style="color:black;"><font size="2">a</font></span>]][[Special:Contributions/FredCat100|<span style="color:black;"><font size="2">t</font></span>]]</span> 23:36, March 27, 2011 (UTC)
"BobaFett2", your right, you can "Flip Summon a monster, activate "Book of Moon", and Flip Summon it again" because <u>Flip Summon works just like a special summon</u>. "FredCat100" wrote the rest.--[[User:Wasn&#39;t|Wasn&#39;t]] ([[User talk:Wasn&#39;t|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Wasn&#39;t|contribs]]) 12:30, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

== Monster Effect special summon during opponents turn? ==

Is it possible to special summon a monster with its effect during your opponents turn?

Ex: 
Master Hyperion:-----
You can remove from play 1 "Agent" monster from your side of the field, hand, or Graveyard to Special Summon this card from your hand.

Dragunity Arma Leyvaten-----
You can Special Summon this card from your hand or your Graveyard by removing from play 1 face-up monster you control equipped with a "Dragunity" card(s)

but during your opponents turn?

Only if the monster says "This effect can be used during either player's turn".{{User:BobaFett2/sig2}}

:Guys what are monsters that '''Special set''' monster(s) called: "[[The Shallow Grave]]", "[[Spear Cretin]]", etc.--Wasn't 12:31, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

: [[Apprentice Magician]], [[Bubonic Vermin]], [[Genex Ally Triforce]], [[Major Riot]], [[Mecha Bunny]], [[Morphing Jar 2]], [[Naturia Cherries]], [[Nimble Momonga]], [[Spear Cretin]], [[Super-Nimble Mega Hamster]], [[The Fabled Peggulsus]], [[The Shallow Grave]], [[Worm Call]], [[Worm Yagan]], [[Worm Zero]].

:Which forum? "The Fabled Peggulsus" and "Genex Ally Triforce" etc. set isn't a set; it's a Special Summon (its Ruling) not sure.--Wasn't 12:26, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

:: [[Forum:General Yu-Gi-Oh! Discussion]] would be fine. [[Dark Simorgh]] stops those, therefore it is a [[Set]]. <span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva">-[[User:Falzar FZ|Falzar FZ]]- ([[User talk:Falzar FZ#top|talk page]]|[[User:Falzar FZ/Tips and Guides|useful stuff]])</span> 12:59, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

==Types of Special Summon==
I have a Japanese copy of Master Guide 5, and I've read its "Types of Special Summon" section, and it classify into 3 typess:
*Condition
*Effect (Non-activated)
*Effect (Activated)
This is somehow too big for me, I suggest we rework this section.<br>
I don't mean to overwrite everything BTW, just a rework[[User:0123456789 The Great|0123456789 The Great]] ([[User talk:0123456789 The Great|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/0123456789 The Great|contribs]]) 06:38, January 2, 2018 (UTC)
