The smoky environment, the people with dragons and tigers on their shoulders, the desolation of autumn outside, the rusty ceiling fan inside is still spinning, trying desperately to drive away the heat and pungent smell in the air.
Diagonally across the street, a child had just been defrauded by a social youth and ran home to find his mother in tears. The female character from Dinosaur Kombat at the table next to her was running around, shouting haha~ha~, and she was near the bar. There is a slot machine in the slot machine, which is most popular among teenagers who save coins.
Compared with those older games with poor graphics and high difficulty, such as Caijing, Da Makai Village, Knights of the Round Table... KOF97, Double Dragon, Samurai Shodown and other fighting games are played by more people, especially when experts are present. , the people watching the battle can form a large circle behind.
Twenty years later, keyboard warriors spit out fragrances online and greet each other's eight generations of ancestors. The smell of gunpowder is the same as that of ten generations of enemies. However, in this era, losers either silently renew their coins or turn around and walk away. Very few It has developed to the point where Mortal Kombat has developed, not only because players are hiding dragons and crouching tigers, and you don’t know the background of each other, but also because the bosses of arcades are mostly ruthless characters who take both black and white, and the gangsters generally don’t have the guts to cause trouble there.
"Is this the one-on-one challenge you want?"
Lin Yue looked at the six words "Pengfei Game Arcade" above his head and was speechless.
"That's right, you challenge us two alone."
When Charlotte said this, she didn't blush, pant or blink, and there was a sense of shamelessness that went deep into her bones.
Dachun stood behind him and waved to Lin Yue: "I heard from Xia Luo that you are very good at King of Fighters. I want to compete with you..."
Yuan Hua wants to compete with him in the exam, and Xia Luo wants to compete with him in the King of Boxing competition. It seems that both of them want to beat him in the field they are good at. The difference is that the latter is thicker-skinned and will fool the big guy into taking the fight. pawn.
"I'm very good at it."
"Then...I can leave you alone."
Charlotte kicked Dachun from behind.
"Charlotte, why did you kick me? He is such a bad guy, and I don't want to bully him. This is the principle of a master."
"What do you call a master? Bo Dufa is unlucky enough to ask for help from a master..."
"Charlotte, how can you say that? I am also a person who can hit a crazy eight with coins."
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."
Charlotte was too lazy to compete with the stupid guy and stuffed two coins into the coin slot.
"let's go."
Dachun walked to the arcade: "Do you... like 1P or 2P?"
Lin Yue said: "To be honest, I like 3P."
Dachun said: "You are indeed a rookie. The King of Fighters only has 1P and 2P, not 3P."
"Alas." Lin Yue sighed: "That's such a pity."
"Have you two finished talking? Now you can start."
Charlotte didn't wait for Dachun to answer and pressed the start button directly.
The interface flashed and both parties began to select characters.
Dachun said while selecting someone: "Charlotte said this big guy looks very much like me, Lin Yue, what do you think?"
The character he was talking about was Yamazaki Ryuuji, one of the members of the Orochi Eight. He had a tuft of yellow hair on his head and a flowing look that looked very much like that person from the underworld.
"And this Daimon Goro, Charlotte said that I should eat more and that I would have a better future practicing wrestling than studying. But my mother said that as long as I keep hanging out with him, I will never have a future."
He didn't speak very fast, and he had a strong sense of naivety. The more Charlotte listened, the more crazy he became. Wasn't this a bit tense due to a duel?
Dachun also wanted to introduce another common character, Ralph, to the rookie on the opposite side. Charlotte found him too verbose, so she stretched out her hand and pressed it, so the third character became Terry.
"Charlotte, why did you choose a red hat for me?"
"You don't like red hats, do you like cuckolds?"
"That guy is called Rage Team Ralph, not a cuckold."
"..."
Lin Yuexin said that Ralph really became a cuckold in KOF14.
"Okay, okay, I called you here to fight the King of Fighters, not to have a family affair." Charlotte pressed again, and the three characters appeared in the default order.
Lin Yue chose question mark, which is a random character.
Kagura Chizuru, Leanna, Asamiya Athena.
They are all female characters, royal sisters, female soldiers, and lolita.
He believes computers are deeply biased against him.
"Lin Yue, I just said I would leave you alone. Anyway, I don't know how to play the red hat one. You just need to defeat my Long Er and Damen and I will win. How about that?"
"Really?" Lin Yue said innocently: "Dachun, you are such a good person."
"Hehe, don't praise me, I won't let you down if you praise me." After speaking, he glanced at Charlotte: "I know, this is called psychological tactics."
"..."
Lin Yue was helpless and thought, do you need psychological tactics to beat you?
On the bright screen, the NPC walked away holding a "ROUND1" sign.
At the beginning of the battle, Oharu's Daimon Goro came up and hit A hard, and the keyboard clicked loudly, but all of them were invalid operations and flaws.
Is this the so-called master?
What about the return of heaven and earth?
Where's the BUG shock?
What about Arashiyama?
Lin Yue deliberately gave up for two rounds but didn't see any useful moves from the stupid big man. Is he still a master? He was very curious about how Dachun managed to reach such a high level in man-machine play. It was a good thing that his basic functions were better than those of the first three teams.
It may also be because his vision is too high. After all, it is 1997, and this game has only been around for a short time. The combos and powerful characters have not been thoroughly studied. The hitting machine can reach the mini-BOSS, not to mention whether it is blinded or relied on. Routine, for a little kid who can't buy a few coins in one visit, he is indeed a master.
For the first character, he basically didn't use any combos. He just used light punches and light kicks to kill Daimon Goro bit by bit. Until the end, Oharu didn't understand how his big guy lost. Next was Itaki Ryuuji. , there is also no suspense, just hit Liana's whirlpool and jump kick to take her away.
"Hey, how come?"
Looking at Lianna with one-third of her health left, Dachun was puzzled: "Lin Yue, is this really your first time playing this game? Why did you kill two of me in a row by yourself? I think something is wrong. Something’s wrong.”
Well, the fool also saw that something was wrong.
"Of course, this is my first time playing The King of Fighters 97 in my life."
"Yeah?"
He really wasn't lying. It was the first time in his life to play The King of Fighters 97. He didn't know about it in his previous life... Kusanagi Kyo's combos and deadlocks were almost forgotten.
Dachun scratched his head: "But I said I would give you a role, so am I losing?"
The child is quite honest and still remembers how cool he pretended to be just now.
"It's okay, keep playing. I was lucky just now. What if you beat me with a red hat?"
"Hey, if I win, then it's a draw."
"Okay, if you win, it will be a draw."
The more Charlotte listened, the more something was wrong. Why did the conversation between these two people sound like an adult coaxing a child? As early as Lin Yue accepted the challenge and didn't protest even though he knew he was going to play in the arcade, he had a premonition that there was a pit in it, so he asked Dachun to take the lead in spying on the kid's true identity. Now...
Now... I saw Liana explode with anger, a few small scrapes of blood, and after finishing the whirlpool, she took off with a super-killing V-shaped slash to take away Dachun's Terry. The little kid watching the battle with game coins in his mouth almost missed his chance. Instead of choking to death, he understood that Mr. Lin was pretending to be an idiot.
There is indeed a pit here!
"Holy crap!" Dachun was startled: "That move just now was too powerful. Didn't you say it was your first time playing King of Fighters 97?"
"Yes, this is my first time playing King of Fighters 97, but I have always played King of Fighters 96. Don't you know that Liana in 96 is very useful?"
"..."
Damn, I was deceived by his innocent smile. Sure enough, how could a guy who likes watching martial arts not be poisoned by arcade machines?
This guy hides too deeply.
"Charlotte, I lost, what do you think we should do?" Dachun looked at him with a frustrated face.
"Dachun, you've worked hard, look at me...I will definitely help you avenge yourself."
"Okay, you must use your best little monkey to wear him one through three."
Xia Luo felt that it was a mistake to drag Dachun's strong man around. If he couldn't help him, he would be the first to cause trouble.
"I changed my mind, I won't compete with you for the King of Fighters."
