Chapter 387 Chapter : Old boy, set sail again (end)
(Some brothers hoped that I would finish writing the extra chapter in one go, and I thought that made sense, so I finished it. I had planned to update twice today, but since I have BLG today, I will do it tomorrow.)

Perfect KO, in simple terms, is defeating the opponent without taking any damage.

Just now, the 19-year-old A Guang achieved this feat in the face of a legendary figure at the peak of his fame, the kid's second light.

Of course, Street Fighter is not Honor of Kings, and its original logic is not that of blood transfusion.

PerfectKO does not mean that one party has really beaten the other party so badly that he has no chance to fight back.

After all, the essence of Street Fighter is also a rock-paper-scissors game. If you misjudge the opponent's operation, what awaits you is the next set of small combos, plus a large part of your health bar will be easily stolen by the opponent.

And Ah Gui happens to be one of the characters who practices this mode to the extreme. No matter what attack she is hit by, she can follow up with a set of fierce and painful combos.

So this time, when the child guessed Guang’s actions wrong three times in a row, it was predictable that he would be perfected.

But even so, when this perfect was played, the faces of many Chinese players watching the game began to look strange.

This kid...his level is pretty good...

Unlike other games that are extremely young-oriented, the age range of players in the fighting circle is relatively large due to various reasons.

Coupled with a host of other reasons such as the bad mini-games in the circle, many of the current main professional players in the fighting circle are old guys who made it through the arcade era.

Those who are in their twenties are considered the new generation of players.

At the age of nineteen, A Guang was so tender that you could squeeze water out of him.

However, what the nineteen-year-old A Guang showed in the light just now was enough to make the old guys who were watching the show envious.

On the one hand, the youthful and invincible body gives Guang the top-level operating speed and reaction ability, so catching the green rush in seconds is a common thing.

On the other hand, his skills were so proficient that he didn't look like a rookie who had just started playing fighting games.

Ah Gui's edge-suppression power was brought to its extreme, with wave after wave of attacks impenetrable, leaving the kid no room to fight back.

Within a certain age range, fighting games become more popular as you get older.

Among the famous “Five Fighting Gods” in Japan, none of them are young and tender.

The fighting ability displayed by A Guang, if not a flash in the pan, is in no way inferior to those of his famous predecessors.

Hard to beat.

Among the crowd, Han Wenqing's face was slightly gloomy.

He naturally didn't know much about the inside knowledge of the fighting circle, but he could also see the overflowing talent of the Japanese boy.

Senior Zeng Zhuojun, can you pass this level?

The calmest person on the field was Zeng Zhuojun himself.

His eyes were calm, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he quickly opened the next one.

But from the way he straightened his back, it was clear:

This old guy is serious.

Sure enough, the script for the next light was almost the opposite of the perfect light just now.

Soon after the start of the game, after a simple back-to-back test, the kid seized the opportunity to steal a delayed lower middle kick, and then used a series of combos to force Guang to the edge of the board.

A Guang can press the edge of the board, and the kids can do it even better!
Ken followed up with a rising dragon and grabbed A Guang's back. He swung his sandbag-sized fist with dazzling flames, and caught A Gui off guard against the edge of the board and beat him up.

Use two grabs and throws, a series of light punches, and seize the opportunity to use the three-breath ultimate move!

Compared to the weird yet elegant smoothness of Ah Gui's suppression, Ken's suppression is just like his appearance, open and close, rough but domineering!

The smooth combo instantly suppressed Ah Gui's health to the bottom, and finally Green Rush followed up with a light attack to take him down.

Another perfect score, 2:1, the child got the first point.

In a game with a huge difference in skill, it is not uncommon for the weaker player to be hit by two perfects in a row by the stronger player.

But it is rare to see a situation like this, where both sides present each other with a perfect in the same small game.

The kid replaced the Neon kid with a perfect, which completely restored the morale that had just been lost. The brothers who were watching the fun breathed a sigh of relief, and many of them started cheering again.

But Han Wenqing keenly discovered that the guy who had just been chatting happily with Zeng Zhuojun did not seem very happy at this moment, and his brows were a little frowned.

"What's wrong?" Han Wenqing asked.

"That child's suppression ability is very strong. Look at Brother Jun, he's even drinking water."

"Drinking water is Jun Ge's signature move when he's under pressure or thinking of countermeasures. Didn't we release a drinking character named Jamie in the Street Fighter beta before? So we usually call him Jamie. Jun Ge is now in a drinking state."

"To be able to make Jun-ge take him so seriously so early, Hikaru must be really strong."

The guy turned around and saw that it was Han Wenqing, feeling a little embarrassed, but his attention was soon drawn back to the game.

And on the court, just as he said, the child's brows were still tightly furrowed, and he subconsciously began to drink water.

On the other side, A Guang looked more relaxed, even calm and composed.

"...I have a general idea of ​​his style." He muttered to himself softly in Japanese.

There are many things that can be seen from the perfect hit the kid gave him just now.

If this is all his strength, he can win!

Are children strong? Of course they are ridiculously strong.

But he was thirty-five.

Even though he can still maintain an excellent competitive state through persistent training and experience,
His reaction and learning ability can never compare to those of young people in their golden years!

Street Fighter was a new game that hadn't even been publicly tested yet, and these professional players' exposure to the game was limited to the two previous limited-number tests.

Within the limited time, this group of fighting players ranked the strength of the existing characters with amazing efficiency.

For example, Ken is ranked at the T0 level thanks to his unreasonable three-pronged performance, and the standard version is strong.

As for A-Gui, his strengths and weaknesses are prominent, and it is difficult to get started, so he is far from being that outstanding in the strength ranking.

But precisely because the intensity is not that high and it is difficult to get started, there are very few players who dare to practice Ah Gui wholeheartedly in the extremely limited time.

As a result, most players, apart from having a preliminary understanding of Ah Gui during the character familiarization period, rarely encounter Ah Gui in real combat between real masters.

The less you encounter it, the less experience you have, and it is not so easy to counter it.

Ken, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. He is an absolute favorite, and can be found everywhere on the ladder. When Guang was practicing on his own, he had no idea how many Kens he had encountered who had Rising Dragons in their heads.

In terms of countermeasures, he will have the upper hand.

Plus, in terms of reaction, the 19-year-old has an absolute advantage over the 35-year-old...

This time, he's going to win!

……

"It's 2:4. That's not good."

It was very quiet, with only the sound of the two players operating the hitboxes in their hands.

The Chinese audience all looked unhappy and subconsciously pursed their lips. The relaxed atmosphere in the first game was no longer there.

The few Japanese people who were watching the fun were calm and composed, and even had a smile on their faces.

If we weren't playing away, we'd probably have to open some champagne at this point.

This was the seventh game of the BO9, and Guang had the first of three match points.

2:4, four is A Guang.

In the past six games, both sides have demonstrated the qualities that top professional players should possess.

Not only was it a feast for the eyes for veteran players, but even Han Wenqing, who was just there to watch the fun, could clearly feel the intensity of the battle.

To be honest, he actually has some filters for games other than Honor of Kings.

After all, the game features of Honor determine that the game's operational intensity and difficulty must be top-level.

Especially for fighting games, in Han Wenqing's opinion before, it was definitely a dimensionality reduction attack.

2D versus 3D, first person versus third person, omnidirectional versus fixed perspective…

He really never thought that traditional fighting games could be that difficult.

It was not until he really had the urge to go to an offline trial session to find out what was going on that he realized how extreme these old guys had taken fighting games.

The character's strength is calculated by frame number. If a character's punch or kick can increase the stiffness by one frame, it can have a qualitative improvement on the character's strength.

In order to make good use of the advantages and disadvantages of one or two frames, their operations must also be accurate to the frame level.

And because they have to perform combos, the hand speed they need is not much less than that of Glory players.

Plus, there are few Glory players who can understand the psychological game and resource calculation...

Perhaps the elements of Street Fighter are indeed far less abundant than those of Honor of Kings, but the players who have reached the pinnacle of Street Fighter are definitely not inferior to those of Honor of Kings.

What's more, many of them are old guys who should have been buried in the e-sports circle long ago.

Vertical replay, frame stealing, precise defense, board edge suppression... Even though Han Wenqing is an amateur, he can still feel the pure beauty of blood.

Of course, he could also feel what kind of desperate situation the no longer young child on the stage was facing.

The kid actually had a pretty good time today, he did everything he was supposed to do, and he also displayed his signature rising dragon and strong concave ability to the extreme.

And unlike most of the old Dengs, he was quite daring and aggressive today, and almost every time he stood up, he would immediately start the most crazy attack. But even so, he still couldn't win.

The extremely high difficulty in getting started in exchange for the super strong offensive suppression, coupled with the experience advantage brought by the unpopular characters, puts the children at a considerable disadvantage in terms of countermeasures.

He turned Ah Gui, who was strong in offense but weak in defense, into an ultimate offensive machine. As long as she kept attacking, no one could push her to the edge of the board!

As long as he is not counter-suppressed, A Gui has unparalleled suppression ability and terrifyingly high damage.

The only weakness of insufficient defense was blocked by A Guang's super fast reaction and high frequency precision defense.

That's a precision defense, with only two frames of operation space. A Guang was able to use it relatively stably, at least the frequency was much higher than that of a child.

so horrible.

Therefore, no matter how well the kid played, and often used counter-attacks to put Guang in a tough fight, the balance of victory was still tilting in Guang's direction.

"We're about to win!" A Guang's heartbeat began to accelerate.

Kid, this name is well-known both in China and Japan.

After all, he was the ruthless man who once killed ten people at once and broke into the Japanese fighting circle.

But precisely because of its reputation, there has never been a shortage of ambitious new generation challengers who want to dethrone it.

A Guang is no exception.

The big score is 2:4, the small score is 1:1. As long as one more lamp is captured, Guang will capture the child.

Is there still a chance?
Han Wenqing, judging from his experience as a veteran professional player, believed that he was out of luck. A Guang's condition and strength were clearly superior to those of today's kids.

He is 35 years old, so it is impossible to expect him to defeat a 19-year-old young genius.

But for some reason, looking at the child's still calm face, Han Wenqing subconsciously felt that it was not yet a moment of complete despair.

The child took another sip of water, this was the fourth sip.

Victory Light.

The familiar crazy attack, A Guang’s one trick is enough to defeat everyone, the top-level suppression power is fully demonstrated in his hands.

Although Ken managed to regain the initiative with a concave rising dragon, he was still suppressed all the way to the edge of the board.

The blood volume dropped rapidly, and soon entered the yellow zone.

Is it over?
Ah Guang naturally realized that victory was just around the corner, his heart was beating wildly, and Ah Gui's offensive accelerated again!
He's going to win this round!

But he was so focused on the computer that he didn't notice that the moment he sped up, the child's brows, which had been frowned for six whole games, suddenly relaxed.

Is that child finally starting to get anxious?
After taking two waves of rising dragon attacks from the kid, A Guang found another small flaw. This time, maybe he could reap the rewards!
Ah Gui's body was wrapped around them like a deadly poisonous snake, and many people at the scene closed their eyes in unbearable pain.

With Ah Gui's damage, a set of combos is enough to clear Ken's last bit of health.

ended.

But, at this moment——

"There's a chance!" Zeng Zhuojun's eyes suddenly widened!
The moment he had been waiting for finally came.

That’s right, Ah Gui is still suppressing Ken, and as long as he completes a set of combos, he will be able to win the game.

But what if her combo fails?

Guang's overly anxious mentality and uncontrollable excitement caused him to make the most fatal mistake at the most critical moment.

His combo was broken.

This also means that Ken has gotten rid of his stiffness.

Without any hesitation, the child rubbed his hands together as fast as an afterimage, three breaths, the ultimate move, and burst out with all his strength!
Ken, who had been suppressed for so long, roared and smashed his fist into Ah Gui's hellish face, sending her into the sky with endless rage.

Hikaru was stunned. He couldn't believe that he could fail at such a critical moment.

At this time, his advantage was still very obvious. Combined with Ah Gui's poison, Ken's health was really only a little bit left, and he also had three Qi resources and enough health to resist.

But his heart, at this time, was already in turmoil.

He stood up. Although there was still a fight to be had, Guang's posture became visibly disordered, and his blood volume was rapidly being drained by Ken.

Even the last desperate CA (ultimate move) was blocked by the kid who had predicted it in advance.

Finally, he kicked away the last of A Guang’s health.

Ken, covered in wounds, stood before Ah Gui's fallen body and raised his hand with difficulty to make a victory gesture.

Score, 4:3.
"There's another explanation!" Han Wenqing's eyes lit up.

At the most critical moment, the Japanese boy finally showed the weakness that a player of his age should have:

psychological.

And this weakness was not ignored by the child.

Seeing the child regain his composure, Han Wenqing suddenly had some enlightenment.

He seemed to understand the answer to the question he asked.

The game continues, A Guang still has two match points. If he wins any one of them, he will still be the winner today.

However, from his no longer calm expression and furrowed brows, it can be seen that this boy is upset.

In the most crucial decisive moment, he made two very low-level mistakes in a row, missing his combo once and missing his CA once.

In the end, the opponent who was on the edge of the cliff was able to pull back a point.

Losing in this way is really detrimental to one's mentality. At least A Guang's mentality started to get out of control.

Eager to make amends for himself, he continued to maintain the intensity of his attack after speeding up, vowing to defeat the man in front of him with a huge pressure attack!

But he overlooked two things:

First, the man in front of him is called Xiaohai. He has been playing fighting games for 30 years and is half older than Guang. The mentality of the two is not at all on the same level.

Second, Ken is the hero who is best at standing up and finding opportunities.

The more ferocious A-Guang's suppression, the more out of control his operations became, and the easier it was for Ken to make a ruthless move against him.

Rising dragon, casting, pressing the edge of the board...

Just like in the first game, the child's suppression of A Guang reappeared on the screen, and the child almost did not miss every opportunity given by A Guang.

Many times, A Guang had suppressed the child to the point of yellow blood or even a little blood, but the child, whose mentality had completely evolved, was always able to use this last bit of blood to kill A Guang.

In the eighth point, we won again with a score of 2:1, 4:4.
Then, the deciding game.

A Guang's expression had begun to completely collapse.

He had clearly pushed the thirty-year-old man opposite him to the edge of the cliff time and time again, but he was able to hold on with just his last finger.

No matter how hard we fight, we can't win.

Why?

"That's how we have to play! Show him the mentality a veteran should have!"

The scene became noisy again. The guy who had just been there automatically took over the responsibility of commentary and passionately explained every detail of the operation to the layman Han Wenqing.

The deciding game took place in A Guang's bewilderment. His helpless heart and trembling hands made his suppression even more chaotic.

Until the last light, he once again tried his best to push the kid to the brink of death, but was emptied of his Qi by the opponent's three-qi ultimate move, and could no longer achieve perfect blue defense in a short period of time.
He covered his face dejectedly.

He lost to a thirty-five-year-old veteran.

As the last bit of Ah Gui's blood was drained, there was thunderous applause at the scene.

Han Wenqing played the drums the hardest.

"Well... you fought pretty well..." The child stood up and let out a long sigh, subconsciously wanting to comfort the talented young man opposite him.

Apart from his mentality, he really has no weaknesses.

But halfway through the conversation I remembered that I didn't speak Japanese, so I could only give her an awkward hug.

Then he gave up his seat, as if he remembered something, and turned to Han Wenqing: "Um, what did you ask me just now?"

Han Wenqing looked at him, then at the Japanese child, and suddenly smiled with relief.

A guy like him who is always serious, when he suddenly laughs, there is actually a unique charm in his smile.

"No need, your actions have already given me the most correct answer."

He suddenly stopped worrying about how he should deal with the future S2.

The child scratched his head, not quite understanding.

Putting aside the games, he is just an ordinary person, and he even knows less about the ways of the world than his peers.

However, Han Wenqing had already sat back in the battle seat, with an expression of excitement on his face that he would rarely see in his life.

"Can you please teach me how to play this game?"

"Uh... OK!"

　Update update.

　　BLG is awesome! Show me how cool it is!
