If man eater bug is the only monster you have face down and you want to tribute it will the flip effect activate thus killing man eater before you can tribute it?
If you flip summon a Man-Eater Bug with no other monsters on either side of the field, it WILL end up killing itself, as it must select a target & it's the only one to select.
That said, if you just want to tribute it, there's no reason you have to flip summon it anyway. Monsters do NOT have to be face-up to be tributed, unless an effect otherwise says so. Just say that you're tributing it, send it the the graveyard & summon the monster you wanted to summon as normal.

Can you activate dark hole before you summon a high level monster when you tribute?
No, as a tribute summon is one continuous step.
Do you have to tribute your opponent's psychic monster instead of any of your opponent's monsters if you activate Soul Exchange and then Psi-Impulse in Yu-Gi-Oh?
Soul Exchange targets so you've already chosen which monster you'll be allowed to use, before you activate Psi-Impulse. You can't just decide to tribute a different one. Soul Exchange never forces you to actually use the monster, you're not obliged to use it at first opportunity. Even if you did target an opponent's Psychic monster for Soul Exchange, you are not forced to use it for Psi-Impulse if you'd rather use your own.
Why does Peten the Dark Clown's effect not activate if you tribute it for a Tribute Summon in Yu-Gi-Oh?
Peten's effect is an Optional Trigger ('you can') which have a restriction on when they can activate. If their condition is met, but something resolves, or is summoned, before they can activate, then they miss the timing and do not activate. So with Peten, if he is tributed for any kind of cost, including tribute summon, then the monster's summon or resolving effect make him miss the timing. It is important to note that other activations alone do not make a card miss the timing, nor can a correctly activated Optioal Trigger subsequently miss the timing. It is a resolution before the optional trigger can activate that does it. For example Giant Rat's effect is Optional, if two battle and destroy each other, their effects will form a chain with each other. Nothing happened in between the condition being met, so both activated legally, one's resolution does not prevent the other resolving.
What is a tribute monster?
Taken from the Official English Rulebook: ...However, for Monsters that are Level 5 or higher, you must Tribute at least 1 monster you control before the Normal Summon. This is called a Tribute Summon. Monsters that are Level 5 or 6 require 1 Tribute and Monsters that are Level 7 or higher require 2 Tributes. Monsters that are Tributed are sent to the Graveyard and the "Tribute Monster" you are Summoning is played in face-up Attack position or face-down Defense position (a.k.a. a "Set").
Yugioh question Can metalmorph be activated in response to an attack by your opponet and be equip to the attacked monster?
Because Metalmorph changes the ATK of a monster, it can be activated in the Damage Step. You can therefore do two things. If the defending monster is face-up already, you can activate Metalmorph in response to the attack, that's fine. If the defending monster is face-down, you will flip it at the start of the Damage Step, and can activate Metalmorph as above, before you enter Damage Calculation.

Can tribute levia face down for ocean dragon lord?
Yes, you can. Unless the card lore specifically states "...tribute one face-up [monster name]..." you can automatically assume that you can tribute it face-down. However, you must reveal to your opponent that the face-down monster is in fact Levia-Dragon - Daedalus before tributing it.
What happens if there are not the required monsters when you activate Super Junior Confrontation in Yu-Gi-Oh?
A card cannot be activated, if it can't fully resolve. It is usually ok to activate a card legally and have it still resolve as fully as it can if the game state changes before resolution. But for example, you can't activate Creature Swap if one player doesn't have a monster, you can't activate Fissure if the opponent has no monster. Even if all you want is the attack negation part of Super Junion Confrontation, you cannot activate it unless you've got a monster for it to affect. So the situation would be an illegal one, you could not activate it.
In yu-gi-oh can you use ultimate offering twice in one turn?
What's in italics is answering your question. The rest is just other helpful information. Answer from yugioh-card.com: If Ultimate Offering is face-up, you can activate its effect multiple times in the same chain.When you activate Ultimate Offering's effect, you pay the 500 Life Points as a cost at activation, and then the Summon occurs at resolution of Ultimate Offering's effect in that chain. This means that it is possible to Summon a monster in the middle of a chain with Ultimate Offering's effect.If you are using Ultimate Offering's effect to perform a Tribute Summon, you Tribute the monster when Ultimate Offering's effect RESOLVES and you perform the Tribute Summon, NOT when you activate Ultimate Offering's effect and pay the 500 Life Points.If your opponent activates a Trap Card, you can chain the effect of your face-up Ultimate Offering to the Trap Card to Tribute Summon Jinzo (if you had a monster on the field to Tribute) and negate the Trap Card's effect.You cannot flip Ultimate Offering face-up AND use its effect in the same chain; you must have Ultimate Offering face-up on the field before the current chain began.If you activate Ultimate Offering's effect to Summon, and your opponent chains Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Ultimate Offering, the Summon does not resolve because Ultimate Offering is a Continuous Trap Card and is no longer on the field.You can activate the effect of a face-up "Ultimate Offering" during your Main Phase even if you have not done a Normal Summon yet this turn.

Can you chain Icarus attack to a normal summon?
It's not accurate to say you 'chain' to a summon. A chain is an order of 'activations' which then resolve in reverse order (the implication is that when a card is chained to another, the second card resolves first). The correct term is 'respond' which is what you do to something that has happened fully already. So when something is summoned, or a card is drawn at the start of the turn, or an attack is declared, cards like Bottomless Trap Hole, Drastic Drop-Off or Sakuretsu Armor respectively will start a chain in response. When the Turn Player normal summons a monster successfully, he retains Priority to activate an effect. He could therefore activate Icarus Attack at chain link 1 if he wanted, using the summoned monster as a tribute before the opponent can do anything. The opponent could legally chain Torrential Tribute to Icarus Attack, but the normal summoned monster is already gone.
What happens if paladin of the white dragon declares a attack at a face down monster and the trap magical arms shield activate?
When Paladin of White Dragon says to destroy the defending monster 'immediately', it means as a triggered effect at the very beginning of the Damage Step, before monsters are normally flipped, and bypassing Damage Calculation.If you never enter the damage step against that monster, ie, if Paladin of White Dragon is destroyed first, or the attack is redirected to another monster, the effect might not activate, the face-down monster will be safe.
Why can't you activate Skill Drain after your opponent's declaration of summoning Jinzo but before the acutal summoning in Yu-Gi-Oh?
The 'declaration' is not something you can respond to.It is my turn, and my main phase. I have the 'right' as turn player to summon a monster, or start a chain first. I tribute a monster and place Jinzo on the field. There's no window for the opponent to activate a card like Skill Drain now he knows I'm summoning Jinzo, but before the monster arrives on the field. I do not say "I wish to summon Jinzo" I just go ahead and place him down. If the opponent has a summon-negation card, he can use it here. But if not, Jinzo's continuous effect becomes active, and while players can now respond to the summon, Jinzo's preventing traps from being activated now.
Can you activate Laval Volcano Handmaiden's effect if Molten Conduction Field sent it and a Laval monster to the graveyard before a Laval monster was in your graveyard in Yu-Gi-Ob?
After Molten Conduction Field resolves, Laval Volcano Handmaiden's trigger condition has been met. Since there's a valid target in the graveyard, she's allowed to activate and target it.
