Notice of Rule Revisions & Card Erratas in Future Card Buddyfight
A: Rules Revisions
With Effective from 17th May 2014, Saturday.

Revision 1: Issues pertaining to link attack resolution
Before revision:
When performing a link attack against an opponent fighter, choose one card among the cards that are performing the link attack and deal that card’s critical as damage.

After revision:
When performing a link attack against an opponent fighter, deal damage equivalent to the total critical of all cards performing the link attack. Also, during the first turn of the fighter going first, he or she cannot perform a link attack.

Example of the revision:
"Systematic Dragon" (Critical: 2) and "Extreme Sword Dragon" (Critical: 3) performs a link attack on a fighter. A total of 5 damage will be dealt.

Henceforth, all future cards will be developed with accordance to this revision.

Example of card:
Demon Way, Oborogenbu
Katana World/Demon Way
Spell 
- You may only cast this card during an attack on your opponent's turn and if you do 
not have a monster in the center. 
- [Counter] Nullify the attack.

Revision 2:Issues pertaining to using counter in battle
Before revision:
During battle, a player can use [Counter] in response to the opponent’s ability, and the opposing player can use a [Counter] up to once. After the resolution of these abilities, both player can use [Counter] again. There is no limit to the number of times to use [Counter] during an instance of battle
(The period within a battle: The period within deciding which monster is attacking and which monster it is attacking, the resultant damage from the battle, and until monsters are destroyed.) 
After revision:
During battle, a player can use [Counter] in response to the opponent’s ability, and the opposing player can use a [Counter] up to once. Both players can use [Counter] up to only once in battle. If the player has already used a [Counter] card or ability, the player cannot use a [Counter] card or ability until the end of that battle.
(The period within a battle: The period within deciding which monster is attacking and which monster it is attacking, the resultant damage from the battle, and until monsters are destroyed.)

Example of revision:
1. During his own battle phase, Fighter A uses "Systematic Dragon" and attacks Player B directly. 
2. Fighter B uses "Dragonic Formation" and moves a "Bronze Shield Dragon" from his right to his center. 
3. Fighter A uses "Dragoenergy" on "Systematic Dragon". 
4. Both fighters cannot use cards or abilities with [Counter] until the end of that battle. 
5. As a result of battle, "Bronze Shield Dragon" is destroyed, and the battle ends 
6. Both fighters can use [Counter] cards or abilities again, and Fighter A proceeds to the next battle.
