Episode 277 – A Drop of Clean Water (5)
10 lines.
As the name suggests, it refers to a competition to determine who will achieve 10 wins first.
-Yanghak-ler-ssuk ㅋㅋㅋ It seems like all of your foundation will be revealed ㅋㅋㅋ
-If it's 10 lines, there's still more to come ㅋㅋㅋ
-Spoiler) It's developed into a real thing and then kicked out of the capsule.
-What is the difference between the 10 lines?
– Didn't you already get hit by Godple? ㅋㅋㅋ
Unlike the fighting gamers who expected that the true skills would be revealed, the general viewers were wondering what the difference was.
Lee Kyung-bok opened his mouth after checking the chat response.
“I think there is a difference between a single match and a long-term match. There will be mental strain depending on the results.”
Since it is not a one-time match, the burden increases as the number of wins and losses piles up. The 10th line was influenced not only by simple game skills but also by psychological factors.
-Really lol It's getting more and more chewy
-There are many cases where you lose by letting your guard down thinking you're on a winning streak. Imariya
-Rather than that, it's more meaningful to get used to each other's patterns and compete with real skills.
-Haha, this is true too.
-There will never be an excuse that you didn't know and got hurt lol
-I did 10 lines, but if you don't understand the pattern, it's just sloppy lol
The gamers agreed with his words and poured out their chats. After a long battle and getting used to each other's patterns, the only thing left was the player's ability.
Reflexes, of course, and even the ability to judge psychological warfare. Fighting gamers consider this to be the true skill of a player.
“It’s taking quite some time. Is this also a psychological warfare?”
Lee Kyung-bok had already chosen Kang Neul, but his opponent had not decided. He chose the character only when the time limit was running out.
-Katsune? Katsune?
-Choosing a villain character like a villain lol
-Ma! Can you hit me with your katsu!?
-Hey, haha. Are you confident?
-Really lol Katz is the icon of easy to run, hard to master.
Lee Kyung-bok was also familiar with that character.
“Katsu, I saw you quite often at the arcade. You’re famous for Furuyokeon, Narak Kick, and Easy Choice of Death.”
-When I see real katsu craftsmen, I get really annoyed ㅋㅋㅋ
-If you think it's the top, go to the bottom, if you think it's the bottom, go to the top lol
-Cho-pung really needs to be nerfed a bit
-The activation speed is really bad lol
-What the f*ck, you live off of just one cup of soju, how dare you change your mind
-Katsu user, come out right away?
As soon as the character selection was finished, the stage was decided. This time, perhaps wary of the bound system, the opponent chose the so-called 'infinite map' without walls or floor gimmicks.
-This is so scary lol
-I got sandbag PTSD lol
-Ah haha, weren't you confident because you were the main character? haha
-Are you already mentally stressed?
-Let's go for justice!
-10 consecutive wins, that's it!
Within the midst of the viewers' support and expectations.
The match has begun.
* * *
Metal Punch Community, Metal Punch Meta.
There was a lot of talk about Purple's broadcast there. Usually, the community becomes active after the broadcast ends, but this time it was different.
[Wow lol Purple's skills are really crazy]
[It's not just that he's physically good, lol. His psychological warfare is also awesome]
[Is it possible to get 100% correct answers in Easy Choice?]
[It's definitely more comfortable here than the chat window ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
The broadcast chat window had too many viewers, making it difficult for fighting gamers to communicate with each other. And since most of those viewers were inexperienced at fighting games and were so-called "fighting idiots," most of the comments were just admiration.
Accordingly, gamers were using the community as a real-time chat window, as they could communicate better.
[<Admin> Purple 10-game 1 (Purple win)]
[<Admin> Purple 10-line 2nd match (Purple win)]
[<Admin> Purple 10-game 3 (Purple win)]
…
As the community became more crowded, the Metal Punch meta manager prepared separate posts for each match to provide a channel for fighting gamers to communicate.
[-They say Yanghak-ler is the main character, but he's quite good at it lol]
[-ㅇㅇ Judging from the fact that the first wind comes out every now and then, it seems like you've practiced a lot]
[-King Chiman doesn't work on Godple, right? He gets blocked right away?]
[-It's really worth it, but they won't give you that one lol]
[-???: Hey! What's wrong!?]
[-???: Die quickly!]
[-If I were dealing with it, I think I would have already lost my mind lol]
As he was promoted as the main character, Katz's skills were acknowledged by fighting gamers. However, since his opponent was Purple, that alone was not enough.

Due to his perfect response, Katz was unable to continue his combos and was counterattacked time and time again.
[-What is it now?]
[-You're saying it even blocks close-range lightning?]
[-No;;; This is 100% sure?]
[-Yanghak-ler-ssukㅋㅋㅋ He must have been happy because he hit the jackpotㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[-Isn't this something that can only block the shoulders?]
[-No;;; It's not like you block it by seeing it, but rather you predict it in advance and block it?]
[-I'm already heartbroken lol]
At first glance, the odds seemed completely against them. But that was only the judgment of the average person.
The thoughts of the gamers were different.
[-The chat window already has a winning vibe lol]
[-Really ㅋㅋ If you act like you don't know anything there, you'll probably be treated like a traitor]
[-It's a bit annoying, but Yanghak-ler has some skills]
[-ㅇㅇ I think I can figure out the Godple pattern a bit]
[-The time I have to hold out is increasing more and more ㅋㅋㅋ]
Although they were on a losing streak, the time between matches was gradually increasing, which was evidence that Yang Hak-ro was also becoming accustomed to Lee Kyung-bok's play.
The world of fighting games was one where things could turn upside down at any time if Lee Kyung-bok let his guard down.
[<Administrator> Purple 10 Line 7 Game]
Soon the 7th game began.
Gamers who moved on from the previous post were quick to leave comments while watching the broadcast.
[-?]
[-What is it?]
[-Oh my gosh lol]
[-Here, all of a sudden?]
[-Wow lol is that a strategy or a performance?]
[-Isn't this tea bagging? LOL]
Unlike before, Lee Kyung-bok has changed his character.
[-Mirror match is crazy?]
He chose a character similar to his opponent, Katz.
* * *
Viewers were surprised by his choice.
-Huh? Is this right!?
-Why did you do well with the river?!
-Is this your first time trying katsu?
-What? What are you implying?
-Godfly Sonsu! It's too much!
-No;;; There must be a reason why you're suddenly doing this!
It was an incomprehensible action to suddenly change characters while continuing to win.
Of course, Lee Kyung-bok also had his reasons.
“If the same picture comes out, it becomes a bit loose, right?”
As always, he thought about broadcasting.
“And as I played with him, Katz seemed fun too. So I decided to give it a try.”
With that answer, the viewers' anxiety seemed to have been washed away.
-Just broadcasting! Just fun! Just light!
-Sniff sniff! It's your usual comfort!
-Ah haha, didn't any of you think you'd lose if you changed characters?
-Enjoy mode ON!
-???: Since when did you think this was a showdown?
-What is Perhwasuwol? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-If I win with this, won't I be a complete loser?
-If you get hit with your main character by a beginner like me, it's really ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-This choice already causes mental damageㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Is this the perfect Yanghak? What is all the Yanghak you've seen so far?
While the mood changed, character selection was completed.
Lee Kyung-bok turned his attention to the confrontation that had begun again.
'It was definitely done like this.'
All of Katz's movements from the last play were in my head.
As if they had made a promise, both sides declared a fight and simultaneously casted the Wind and Thunder Strike.
A dull, banging noise rang out.
-?
-What the heckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-You said it was a first wind from the start?
-Ah haha perfect-common sense activated!
The activation was overwhelmingly fast for Lee Kyung-bok. The lightning effect exploded and the opponent was lifted into the air.
That alone surprised all the viewers.
“It’s easier than I thought.”
Lee Kyung-bok has always shown more than that.
He immediately approached the opponent who came to mind and cast the first strike again.
And it didn't happen just once, but continuously, creating a rhythmic flow of flashing effects and loud noises.
-Basic wind and thunder, right?
-What the heckㅋㅋㅋ Is the first wind the default?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Wow! Look at all the blood flowing out!
-This is really overwhelming lol
-WA! Fireworks!
-Is it a funeral? A festival?
-Both
However, the aerial combo did not continue. Yang Hak-ler fell to the ground due to the invincibility judgment applied to prevent an infinite combo.
But that was just the beginning of another combo.
-Ugh hahahahahahaha
-You're going straight into the abyss?
-Yeah~ I can't get up~
-It wasn't an easy choice question of death, but multiple correct answers, right?
-Death's revenge answer f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Ah haha, you don't have a choice! You have to choose them all!?
-This is really hell lol
-Is there a 10 second cut?
As soon as the command was input, Katz spun around and delivered a downward roundhouse kick toward the fallen opponent.
In the end, the opponent couldn't get up and had to sacrifice his stamina again. But even that didn't last indefinitely.
Yang Hak-ro survived with his health bar at a very low level. Since he was still at a level where he could fall even with guard damage, everyone predicted Lee Kyung-bok’s victory.
'what?'
However, Lee Kyung-bok sensed something different. The odds were definitely against him, but the level of threat he felt from his opponent was starting to increase.
“You’re sooo …
Soon, Katz's angry lines resonated. Along with that, a crimson aura emerged from the opponent Katz's body, and even his eyes flashed red.
The viewers were confused by the change, but the gamers immediately understood the situation.
-Oh? You're going crazy with the burst lol
-I can barely use it because it's so stuffy lol
-You did a good job assessing the situation, lol
Burst was one of the systems in Metal Punch and was an element for the fun of reversal.
A buff that activates only when health is below a certain level, 'Super Armor' that removes stiffness when hit, and damage reduction and damage increase effects are applied.
In the previous match, the result was decided by Lee Kyung-bok's combo, so the condition was not met.
-Is this possible to turn things around?
-Ah haha is that okay hahaha
-No lol I don't know, please do it! lol
-Godple would win even if he hits a few of the salty hands. What the heck?
The general audience did not think the results would be different.
Even if you receive a buff, isn't victory already certain? It would be nothing more than a meaningless last-ditch effort.
But Lee Gyeong-bok's thoughts were a little different.
'There's something different.'
The increase in threat level was too great with just a buff.
As expected, the enemy rushed towards me and my view suddenly changed.
A screen appeared showing a solo shot of the opponent, as if it were a cutscene.
“You die here.”
Katz's voice was followed by rough handwriting.
[BURST MOVE!]
It was a character-only skill that could be used in burst state. Soon, the screen returned to normal and control was restored.
Along with him, a combo flew in at a speed incomparable to that of before.
The chat window was abuzz with excitement at that sight.
-Something, something looks three!
-What is it? Is it a finishing move!?
-Yeah, something like a special move
-It's a hidden card that can only be used once per game.
-If you pull it out, you won't die even if you get hit?
-Ah! Godple Sonsu! He's laughing!
-Another killer smile?
Lee Kyung-bok smiled as he watched it. The viewers could quickly understand the reason for his composure.
There were dull, continuous sounds as if bombs were exploding, and effects flashed like crazy.
“This is fun.”
Lee Kyung-bok accurately assessed the damage of every incoming combo and continued guarding.
Not only gamers but also ordinary viewers were amazed by the sight.
-No;;; Can you see that!?
-Even though I memorized this, it's hard to react, s**tㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Is this your first time meeting Godple?
-Are you really going to block all of this?
-Guarding with pure physical strength? Seriously?
-(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)
-Final move (not a final move)
-Ah lol I'm not dying so why is it called a fatal blow lol
-???: You die here (actually said)
It wasn't just the viewers who were surprised by that perfect response.
As soon as the burst move ended, the opponent, Yang Hak-ler, opened the voice chat with a trembling voice as if he couldn't believe it.
“No, this is a scam…!”
Lee Kyung-bok answered with a smile at the voice that was filled with resentment.
“Oh, it’s over? It was starting to get fun now, but it’s too bad.”
He smiled broadly and threw a light jab.
“Thanks to you, I learned something new.”
Since my stamina was already close to 0, that one hit completely depleted my remaining stamina.
[KO]
The mirror match was a landslide victory for Lee Kyung-bok.
* * *
After the 7th game, the remaining games ended too easily. Yang Hak-ro, whose mentality was broken, showed that his skills had deteriorated even more than before.
[PERFECT!]
In the end, the last 10 games ended with a more perfect victory than the first.
[Quest Success!]
['You're a Good Person' and 241 others donated '2,196,000' won!]
With the 10 consecutive wins confirmed, the quest was settled. As the message appeared, the chat window also filled with happiness.
-Godple wins! Godple wins! Godple wins!
-So who's going to be a yanghak now?
-???: I won't watch it anymore (actually said)
-The main character is like, lol, let's stick together lol
-Yes, I attached it^^
-Delete it, you little brat!
-If you don't know the value of Metal Punch, get out!
-No way lol What is this big metal punch era lol
-Ah haha what are you doing haha I told you to hurry up and finish it haha
But that was only for a moment.
The bustling chat window suddenly stopped at a new system message.
[Abusive warning]
[The same results were repeated on the same subjects at short intervals.]
['Perfect Play's play is limited to '3:00:00'.]
“Abusing?”
Lee Kyung-bok and the viewers were surprised by the unexpected message.
-You're abusing me because you won so many games too quicklyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-But it was definitely fast lol
-Smer, who got an abusive warning for being too good!?
-The system is just saving the queue lol
-Isn't this lol killing Yanghak-ler twice?
However, the points that surprised the gamers were a little different.
-Metal Punch was holding back abuse?
-No lol Are you the one who's surprised lol
-After looking it up, it turns out that the winning side rolls back their rank points based on the number of winsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Oh? Yanghak-ler-shak is going back to his rank?
-Ah, lol. Even if I just do it casually without thinking, it's already meaningless, right?
-If you see it, you're behind lol
The fighters thought that Yanghak-ler would run away. However, when the ranks returned, they would meet the top fighters.
But the fun was short-lived, and viewers soon had to face the current situation. In this situation, Lee Kyung-bok had only one choice.
“The timing is perfect.”
As expected, Lee Kyung-bok prepared to wrap up the broadcast by giving a comment.
“Today, I tried my hand at Metal Punch with Ogemmu Roulette. It was really fun for a game I decided on on the spot. Now that I’ve tried it, I really want to meet some skilled players.”
He smiled and ended the game, then waved at the cameras in the studio.
“Thank you for watching the broadcast today. We’ll continue the real play tomorrow! Then, Tva!”
The screen turned black as the broadcast ended.
-Real play? Real play?
-Oh my gosh lol Where is the person who goes to the red section from the beginning lol
-Is this the one that's being spread? LOL
-Ah, haha, so this is why you watch Godple broadcasts?
-This is seriously so much fun ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The new influx of fighting game viewers could see what it felt like to be 'immersed'.
