Action Duel ( Duel Terminal ) An Action Duel ( アクションデュエル " Akushon Dyueru " ) is a Duel on the Duel Terminal machines . This Duel is a normal Duel ( unlike the Speed Duel ) , including the Deck Zone , a Banished Zone , 5 Monster Card Zones and Spell and Trap Card Zones , and a Graveyard . You also may use your scannable Duel Terminal cards . Action Duel ( TCG Version ) . An Action Duel mode in the TCG Duel Terminals is not your traditional Duel format . You may scan up to 3 Duel Terminal monster cards , or have the computer choose for you , and then " Duel " against a computer player that will use three monsters from their deck . Both players summon monsters and then play mini games to fill an attack bar consisting of 2 to 3 colors . The better you do in the mini game , the easier it is for you to perform a powerful attack . The difficulty of the mini game and the likelihood of you performing an attack varies with your monster ' s Level . However , only Level 5 and higher monsters can have the blue in their bar that allows them to perform super powerful attacks . Once the mini game is complete , your score is added to your bar . This bar is filled with a red , yellow , and sometimes blue bar , starting from the center and expanding out . You then determine how strong your attack is . A line will move back and forth across the bar , and pressing A will stop it . If it lands on red , you make a successful attack , yellow , a powerful attack , blue , a super powerful attack , and if you land in the unfilled portions , a miss . This is repeated until you get 5 results , your red , yellow , and sometimes blue bar becoming thinner and the line becoming faster each time . As for the actual " Duel " , the results will be compared one at a time , with the monster with the best out of 5 being the victor . This process is repeated until a player wins 2 out of 3 .
