Episode 299 – It's fun when you do it well, and you too. (8)
Metal Punch's Brawl Mode stages were structured based on the premise of 'cooperation'. However, Shoulder felt the need to modify that premise at least now.
“Well, guys. This time, I think it would be better if I didn’t interfere.”
He made his decision after watching the close match between Lee Kyung-bok and Katz. However, as a viewer, it was just questionable.
He opened his mouth again as question marks appeared in the chat window.
“As you can see, Purple is currently collecting patterns. As those who play fighting games will know, this is a very important process. However, Purple is going through this process in an extremely compressed manner.”
Lee Kyung-bok was learning the various character skills that Katz was showing. Shoulder could feel Lee Kyung-bok's reaction speed getting faster and faster.
“As proof, do you see it now? Look! Purple-nim is taking a guard stance before Katz’s skill even comes out. Wow, this is crazy, crazy.”
-Huh? Our eyes are completely dark!
-Ah haha I see (not visible)
-What's different from before? Lol
-Isn't it the eyes that react frame by frame?
-It's sad that I don't have a perfect eye, but I don't have a frame eye either ㅠㅠ
-Anyway, people from the celestial realm!
Unfortunately, the viewers didn't have the discernment to distinguish the change. Shoulder coughed in response and explained again.
“So, that’s how it is explained theoretically. The skill movements used by the character are actions determined by the system, right? When we give a command, it is implemented as is. But in other words, all of the preparation movements are fixed.”
The shoulder said so and demonstrated a couple of light straight punches.
“Now, did you see how Severus pulled his arms back and twisted his waist before he struck? If you get used to this, just moving your arms and waist will make you think, ‘Ah, straight!’ Then, it’s the top guard! That’s how you deal with it.”
Most characters needed to prepare before casting their skills. Some characters had skills that were considered 'instant' because the gap between them was extremely short, but Shoulder had the ability to read even that.
“But look at Purple-nim now. The first skill you see, you block with physical force, and when the same skill comes out, your guard goes up before that. That means you’ve figured out the pattern after seeing it once.”
-Oh? Now that I hear it, does that seem to be the case?
-No lol Godple blocks and dodges everything
-If you can tell the difference, you must be really serious, lol
-Really ㅋㅋ That's what the older brother said, so I guess that's what I'm saying ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-You have to experience it to understand, Imari.
Shoulder burst into laughter at the viewers' reaction.
“Oh, well, to get to this level, you have to be at least Omega level. Anyway, the saying ‘If you don’t know, you have to hit’ is famous, right? But if you say it the other way around, ‘If you know, you can’t hit.’ That’s why the higher the level, the more important psychological warfare becomes than physical strength.”
The fact that all skill movements were the same meant that the speed and power were consistent. Accordingly, as the level increased, the proportion of 'skill' became more psychological than physical.
“But AI doesn’t engage in psychological warfare against players. It just responds according to a set algorithm.”
But the Katz who was dealing with Lee Kyung-bok now was not a human, but an AI. No matter how high the difficulty was set, it was still far from real psychological warfare.
“So, as you all might expect, Purple-nim has already won the match. That’s why I’m not intervening. If I intervene now, all I’ll do is interfere with Purple-nim’s studies.”
If the shoulder were involved here, Katz would have to deal with it using an algorithm for dealing with 2:1, not 1:1. In that case, the number of skill patterns that Lee Kyung-bok could see would inevitably be limited.
-Oh lol, you have insight
-Metal Punch Living Legend Su-beom lol
-No lol then shouldn't I be stopping you more?
-Really ㅋㅋ Are you going to raise Godple here more?
-A streamer who raises rivals is coming soon!?
Viewers were amazed by the explanation, but they also asked playfully. Even though it is a collaborative content now, isn't it something that will eventually have to be fought in a platform war?
How can you help growth when you should be restraining it?
“While we were merging this time, I felt several times that Purple-nim is a true genius. Wow, but I’ve never felt it so blatantly as now.”
Shoulder smiled back at him.
“That’s why I’m even more greedy. I want to fight against a complete genius rather than an unfinished genius. No, think about it. Wouldn’t that be so much fun?”
-Ah haha this is the shoulder!
-Are you crazy about winning?
-Ah, this is what they call a 'tyrant'
-You can do this because your skills support you, Imari.
-Really lol, you tore the dignity
-Is this the key holder or something?
-to
-As a veteran, I can't stand this lol
The stronger the opponent, the greater the value of victory. As a master of fighting games, Shoulder knew this fact very well.
While the communication continued, Lee Gyeong-bok steadily exhausted Katz's stamina.
And finally.
“I’ve seen everything there is to see.”
Lee Kyung-bok finished off the match with a flying kick, the so-called 'two-step side kick'.
The effect exploded with a loud bang, and Katz's stamina was depleted.
-77 billion!
-Wow shit lol how come it didn't hit you once
-Katsushak ㅋㅋㅋ You said you would do it but you never got it right?
-Clean hit 0 times what?
-Katsushak Bungtz Bungtz is good at it, lol
-The final boss turns into a troll lol
When the match was decided, the viewers expressed their joy. Among them, the fighting gamers expressed their excitement even louder.
-The synergy between Godple and Shoulder is truly legendary…
-How can you both not get hit at least once? ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋ
-Is this okay?

-Is it true that there were no clean hits on the entire stage?
-A rough sketch of the actual picture
-Hahahahahahaha
-Ah haha don't ruin the mood!
This was because both of them did not allow any hits other than guard damage.
Lee Kyung-bok smiled while watching the chat and then quickly turned his shoulder.
“Oh, I’m sorry about this. I was so focused that I think I took all of your shoulders as well.”
“Huh? Oh, not at all. There’s no problem. In fact, it’s more fun to watch from the side.”
When Lee Kyung-bok apologized awkwardly, his shoulders quickly waved. Then, while everyone was having fun, the screen changed.
“Ah, I guess this is the ending.”
-Finally!
-Katsu Shack, show me the end quickly!
-No lol but how will this end?
– Doesn't it usually end by leaving behind hints for the next work?
Everyone's attention turned to the start of the cutscene. Soon, Katz's figure appeared on the screen.
“Ugh…!”
The sight of him rolling on the floor in pain filled the chat window with 'ㅋㅋㅋ's.
Then, Kang Neul and Severus rushed towards him as if they were going to finish him off.
“Your Majesty!”
A sudden shout was heard, followed by a sudden barrage of gunfire. The two startled people hurriedly ran away, took cover, and raised their heads.
“Damn, are they reinforcements!?”
“Damn it! It’s almost over…!”
A helicopter and elite agents were seen descending from the sky.
In the cutscene, Katz is seen holding onto the ladder that came down from the helicopter while laughing wickedly.
“The research results are amazing. But in the end, the ultimate winner is this body.”
Viewers were dumbfounded by the situation.
-???
-You're saying you're missing this?
-Ah lol that's really ridiculous
-Shit, isn't it so different from the scene where Katsushik appears? ㅋㅋㅋ
-Isn't it too ugly?
-Ugh! Is this the ending? Isn't it so disgusting?
– Seriously ㅋㅋ You might as well just make them exit in a cool way ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋ
-Katsu, you punk! Get out of Hirokatsu's body!
-Give me back Hiro!
Despite the viewers' outcry, Lee Kyung-bok remained calm. This was because he intuitively felt that this was not the end.
‘This feeling is…’
He smiled inwardly at the energy he felt off-screen. In the meantime, the helicopter was ascending again.
Something was embedded in Katz's body with a cracking sound.
“Cough…!”
Katz, who had vomited blood, looked down in disbelief. What had pierced his abdomen was a Japanese sword soaked in his own blood.
As soon as he fell, Kang Neul and Severus looked back in the direction the Japanese sword had come from.
“Tsujimoto!”
“Were you alive?”
The screen turned to show the two people's brightened expressions. Tsujimoto, who was thought to have died in the helicopter explosion, was standing there, supported by another thief.
But it wasn't in such good condition. Half of his face was covered with bandages, as if he had been given emergency treatment.
-Sensei Godjimoto!
-5252, I believed you!
-Ah haha this is the correct ending
-This kind of obvious cliche, maybe it's better?
-Katsushak, you went to the abyss yourself after choosing multiple choices?
-Katsu is dead and Hiro is back!
-Just the basics are fine, Imari hahaha
The viewers rejoiced at his return. Soon, three people surrounded the fallen Katz.
“Do you guys think you won…?”
Katz, still breathing, opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Don’t think this is the end. Victory is mine, Katz’s…”
Katz's pupils, who had been speaking in a dying voice, soon dilated. The viewers laughed at the end.
-3rd rate villain lines lol
-I lost, what should I do? Hahaha
-Ah haha this looks like it's trying to match the underworld
-What is the afterlife matching? LOL
– Are you waiting for me in hell? Lol
-Match me with Doctor Ace, lol
But the atmosphere changed completely with Tsujimoto's next words.
“I won this time, but he wasn’t wrong.”
"what?"
“What does that mean?”
A question mark appeared in the chat window, just like Kang Neul and Severus. Tsujimoto asked in a serious voice.
“Do you remember what I said about there being something more important to you?”
“Of course.”
“Didn’t we just stop talking in the elevator?”
-Huh? Is that right?
-Was it bait?
-No lol It was obviously like bait
-What else is there to come out of here?
-No;;; I caught Katsushik, but why am I so anxious?
Viewers soon recalled the cutscene.
“It’s probably easier to understand if you see it for yourself than to have it explained.”
The two people turned their heads in surprise at the voice they heard. Question marks and exclamation marks were mixed in the chat window with the person caught on the screen.
“Tsujimoto…?”
“What, what is this!?”
There was another Tsujimoto there. The two looked back and forth between the injured Tsujimoto and the newly appeared Tsujimoto.
“Katsu has already finished analyzing all the martial artists he has kidnapped. And you who have dealt with him will know the results.”
Several viewers noticed the situation as Tsujimoto continued to speak.
-ㅁㅊ Was Katz's gimmick connected to the story?
-Oh? It’s not just a gimmick that was added because he’s the final boss?
-Wow lol, you already analyzed all the martial arts styles and wrote them all down.
Meanwhile, Tsujimoto continued his explanation.
“But there is something more important to you. That is, the fact that the two of you no longer remember the world.”
"…what?"
“What does that mean?”
“You were not kidnapped.”
The injured Tsujimoto opened his mouth with difficulty. The two people's eyes shook at his words.
“Wait, no way…”
Within a cutscene, the capsule from Stage 1 appeared again as a flashback. Then, two Tsujimotos were shown in close-up on a split screen.
“Neither of them were kidnapped, but rather clones who were strengthened by replicating the originals.”
Tsujimoto confirmed both men's suspicions as true.
“And we, the Bandits, are also using clone technology to fight the Katz Group. Even though we know it’s wrong….”
The two people froze in shock. The viewers were the same.
-ㅁㅊ You put the water level in at the end
-There was a reason there were two Tsujimotos.
-Was the fact that there were multiple labs also a plot device?
Tsujimoto nodded as if he understood the two people.
“It might be confusing, but I think you’ll understand now. The katsu here isn’t original either.”
“To be exact, even if Katz dies, he will be resurrected using cloning technology. In order to completely destroy the Katz Group, we need more comrades.”
Kang Neul and Severus became serious at the words of the two Tsujimotos.
“If I don’t take them down, more of me will appear.”
“Those kids are even brainwashing you? You’re saying that there’s already ‘me’ being used?”
“If I go back to my original life, I have no choice but to destroy the Katz Group.”
Kang Neul and Severus came to that conclusion and each joined hands with Tsujimoto.
The cutscene went dark with him and the Metal Punch logo appeared.
-Our fight starts now, the ending lol
-Oh lol, isn't this game too intense?
– Rather than saying that the story was written first, it's more of a story that fits the genre lol
-Really ㅋㅋ With these settings, mirror battles won't feel awkward
-Everyone except me is a bad clone, Imari.
-But if this is the skip route ending, what was the original ending?
-Oh? That's right? There's a separate route ending, right?
As if they were waiting for the reaction of the general viewers, the gamers immediately started chatting.
-This is the ending that was somewhat fixedㅋㅋㅋ
-Really ㅋㅋ In the original route, Tsujimoto died and didn't appear.
-Katsushak is alive and kicking right now lol
-Later, Clone Tsujimoto comes and explains the situation lol
-Then the revenge ending lol
-This is so fu*king frustrating ㅅㅂ ㅋㅋㅋ
-Ah, this is something you really have to experience once without knowing it hahaha
It was a tone of condemnation, as if he couldn't be the only one who felt this way. Lee Kyung-bok laughed at that and made a short comment.
“Now that I hear it, the skip route is much better.”
“Oh, that’s right. Well, I do want to see Purple-sama in pain, but you avoid her like a ghost.”
-When I look at the skip ending again, it looks like a fairy, lol
-Veteran Special) I like seeing newbies suffer
-But you avoided Godple right away?
-Solved with perfect common sense lol
-I finished conquering it on the first try lol
While they were laughing and chatting, the screen returned to the lobby.
Lee Kyung-bok glanced at the time and lightly clapped his hands.
“Well, today I had my first merge with Shoulder-nim. It was such a fun time, I couldn’t believe it since it was my first time.”
“Oh, I really enjoyed it too. I can’t wait to see how much more fun the upcoming platform battle, ‘Let’s Fight as a Set’, will be!”
The shoulders immediately received Lee Kyung-bok's comments and prepared to finish.
-Oh no! Let's go already!
-Just a little more!
-Just go to the World Cup once!
-I miss you ㅠㅠㅠ
-You're ending it here?
-Why does time pass so quickly without any notice?
-It's all Hirokazu's fault!
-Really lol Katsushik should have had 30x more stamina
-Hirokazu Kissamaaaaaaa!
The shoulders smiled and trembled in amusement at the viewers' cries.
“Hey, the viewers’ reactions are so different from my broadcast. No, when I was about to end my broadcast, they asked me why I was leaving so late.”
-No lol, you should finish early
-Don't you know that you can only get promoted to Omega if your brother doesn't broadcast?
-Imari, come in when the gatekeeper is not there.
-But the trap is that you immediately match it and drop it. LOL
-Please stop hating on fighting gamersㅠㅠ
The viewers also responded playfully. Lee Kyung-bok noticed the intention of the shoulder.
'You are being considerate so that I don't have to indulge myself comfortably.'
The viewers' mixed reactions of regret were familiar as they were present in every broadcast, but it was not the case for Kuri.
Lee Kyung-bok smiled and then waved his hand.
“Okay, thank you for watching today’s broadcast. See you on the next broadcast!”
“Let’s stick together as a set! Please look forward to it!”
As I waved goodbye with my shoulder, the screen turned off.
-Wow lol It's a shoulder joint but it's cut like a knife
-As expected, it was the skill of the only swordsman, Imari.
-Is that the sword? Lol
-Ah lol I wish the platform war would happen soon
-Looking at it today, it seems like it would be a huge hit if those two really got together ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Viewers who were lost in the afterglow did not hide their anticipation as they chatted about it.
But soon their attention turned back to one chat.
-What didn't you have to do after the broadcast ended?
That one sentence question made everyone's head light up.
-ah!
-Goods Vote!
-Is it open now?!
-Oh, it's here!
-Ah haha I'll go right now
It was a direct request from their favorite streamer. If even a simple participation could help, there was no reason to turn it down.
further.
-Give me the squeak!
-The Gemalcon figure is ranked 1st in invincibility!
-I can't resist perfect goods lol
It was also for their own good.
