I Regressed, But the World Isn’t Destroyed - Chapter 79

079.

“It’s something like this.”

Once you choose Tetsujin and complete the preparations, a phrase will appear at the bottom left of your view.

Lee Do-hyuk continued to communicate with viewers while watching it.

As I’m broadcasting, it’s essential to fill in the sound, so I’ve been turning off the voice settings for a few days now.

If you’re not friends, no matter how much you talk, the other person won’t understand.

I also turned off the setting to make my full record public.

An unrivaled record with a 100% win rate.

Professionals and famous amateur broadcasters don’t do that because they have pride and are concerned about what other people think.

This is because there were many cases where ordinary gamers, after checking the record and confirming that the opponent was Lee Do-hyeok, would forcefully end the match, saying they would manage the record, and would come across so-called random pick-up bugs.

‘When everyone picked Trevor, the look on their face like ‘No way…’ was pretty funny.’

A gangster killer who appeared on the Asian server.

There are no users in the Asian server’s Celestial Realm who do not know its identity.

Because of that, when Lee Do-hyeok picks Trevor and makes him ready, he mostly stops for a moment, and after they touch hands a few times after the game starts, his face rapidly becomes worse.

Not only was the taste good, but seeing those changes in facial expressions was another reason why Lee Do-hyuk focused on Trevor’s play for a while.

Boom- Boom-

[MODE: Bruce Green]

Lee Do-hyeok repeatedly unprepared and then completed it again as a test.

[MODE: Bruce Green]

But that doesn’t change the mode.

It seems like once you start it will stick.

Well, if you think about it, it was natural.

If you can change the mode by solving and then completing the ready, you can keep solving and completing it until you get what you want.

“···hmm.”

At that time.

Lee Do-hyuk’s expression changed.

A face that is deeply contemplating something.

Because I discovered a problem.

“This character. Now that I look at it, there’s one really big problem.”

The problem is not an ordinary problem.

The first challenge he encounters when starting Iron Fist.

-Where is it?

-?

-Is there a bug?

“To know what’s what… I have to find out the character names…!”

Bruce Green.

Who the hell is that?

The only Iron Fist characters whose names Lee Do-hyeok remembers are Kujo, Masamune, Trevor, Ryu, and Grizzly.

I knew Grizzly because it was obviously a bear character, and I knew the rest because I had played the game many times myself, but other than that, I didn’t know any other names.

-?

-?

-no;

-Fuckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Come to think of it, this guy’s been using Iron Fist for a week;

-F*ck lol I thought something big happened

“This is a big deal.”

Tiring-

[‘Nambu Seonwon’ donated 1,000 won.]

-But you haven’t encountered many characters until now?

“Hmm. I don’t really remember any of the friends, so I can’t really remember the character names…”

-lol

-Don’t beat me up like that!

-???: Do you remember each and every piece of bread you’ve ever eaten?

-ttt Doo Brando

Of course, if you think about it, it was an important but at the same time not so important issue for Lee Do-hyeok.

The average Tetsujin user would need to know what skills each character has, which ones are useful, and how to connect them to form combos…

“So who is Bruce Green?”

-What is that? There’s a black old man who uses Chinese martial arts.

-It’s only been a year since this came out

-It’s Wing Chun.. Everyone my age knows it..

-Hey, old man…

-Is this good? It’s a bit difficult.

-Performance is pretty good, but it’s difficult to handle.

“Ah, Wing Chun.”

Lee Do-hyuk, that part wasn’t really necessary.

Swish-

He took up his position.

A scene from a movie that I once saw and found deeply moving.

It was Lee Do-hyeok who was striking a pose, recalling memories from that time.

The right hand is like this in reverse, and the left hand is like this in support.

-Oh

-Can you come out?

-You know Wing Chun!

-Wow, what is this? This is Kyeonjadan, Lee Do-hyuk.

-? Anyone can tell it’s Lee Do-hyuk?

Bb-

At that time, the person who picked the character.

I saw a cool black character wearing sunglasses.

He is wearing a Chinese-style, fluttering uniform.

And then, the opponent started to take a similar stance to Lee Do-hyeok.

“Huh?”

Lee Do-hyeok looked at his opponent.

His stride is also narrower than Lee Do-hyeok’s, and his arm angle is also different.

A posture that looks a little more skilled than his.

If that’s the case…

“···hmm.”

Swish-

-Keep on going lol

-No lol

-You little punk, you’re copying before you even start, lol -You little punk? Is Dohyuk sensei your friend?

-When I see you doing that shitㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ, I can’t help but say “kid” -ㄹㅇㅋㅋ

**

“haha.”

Cheon-rong’s smile deepened as he saw his opponent’s posture.

How could I not laugh?

He saw his own prepared posture and then imitated it.

What was a bit awkward at first quickly turned out to be quite good.

Looks like he’s following along pretty well.

Doesn’t it look like you’re seeking teachings?

‘Your attitude is virtual.’

But the world of competition is a cold one.

Cheon-rong had no intention of teaching his opponent.

The letters KR floating next to the opponent’s nickname.

‘I like the fact that he’s not Japanese.’

This is the grandfather of Ip Man who left a will telling the Japanese not to teach Wing Chun.

···Of course, you said not to pass it on, but you didn’t say anything about selling the copyright.

Although the character Bruce Green was brought into the world with the permission of the direct successor of Wing Chun, anyway.

[READY]

[FIGHT!]

Wing Chun is a martial art that combines striking and knives.

It has to be a close-range combat technique.

The opponent is also Tetsujin in Bruce Green mode.

Since we will be using the same Wing Chun, this match will be a close-quarters fight.

Thump- thump-

Cheonrong walked towards the other person with a leisurely look.

‘Where once···’

Let’s take a look at the level of the Asian server.

It was a freedom that came from that kind of mind.

Of course, I also had the confidence that I could counter the enemy’s surprise attack at any time.

The greatest strength of the character Bruce Green is his ridiculous parrying ability.

To begin with, Wing Chun itself was a martial art specialized in that area.

A martial art that intercepts the opponent’s movements, creates an opening, and strikes back.

Cheonrong was a craftsman who could maximize its performance.

so···

Swish-

The distance between the two has become somewhat close.

What Cheon-rong chose was not to rush in, but to take a stance and wait.

Come on, show me your Wing Chun!

No matter what level it is, I’ll parry and counterattack right away!

“······”

and,

“······”

“···?”

A few seconds later.

Cheon-rong’s face became embarrassed.

Lee Do-hyuk also had that kind of face.

At that time, Lee Do-hyeok muttered something.

Of course, it only seemed like a fuss from Cheon-rong’s perspective, but in reality, it was saying something to the viewers.

“..No, you little punk. Why aren’t you attacking?”

– That’s what I’m saying.

‘This kid···’

What the heck?

I wanted to learn a bit about Bruce’s techniques by watching him.

This is an opponent who suddenly walks towards you, keeps a slight distance, maintains a posture, and does not make any attacks.

-Ugh hahahahahahahahahaha

-f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Kakashi of the Sharingan? Hey, try copying this too!

-Are these kids joking? LOL

-This is why Gaekon 4 failed, damn itㅋㅋㅋ

-Why do they always fail?

How many more seconds did this standoff continue?

Pfft!

Cheon-rong, who couldn’t hold back, came out first.

**

“Boss!”

A company employee opens the door and comes in with an anxious look on his face.

Anyone who saw it would know that something big was happening.

He was one of the company’s developers.

To be precise, a senior performance analyst for the balance team.

“What? What’s going on?”

“..I think you should take a look at this.”

He handed the tablet he was holding to the team leader.

The first thing we see is Bruce Green, one of the characters targeted for this balance patch.

“Bruce Green? That test showed no problems last time.”

Tsk-

The team leader clicked his tongue slightly.

A feeling of unease for some reason.

A large-scale update to coincide with this year’s EVO tournament.

They had to stay up all day and night for several days because several new characters were added.

Banko Spirits has the best annual salary and other benefits in Japan, but in times like these, it becomes a black company more than anywhere else.

Of course, since full-dive work is the norm these days, it’s not like I can’t go home.

Anyway, after all that hard work, the update was finally completed yesterday.

“Yes. But there is something I didn’t take into consideration at the time.”

“Consideration? What part?”

“As you can see here···”

At the team member’s words, the team leader glanced at the screen several times.

The next screen shows the data visualized in a graph.

And underneath that are the numbers written densely.

“hmm.”

The team leader’s eyes grew darker.

He is also an active developer.

I could quickly see what my teammates were pointing out.

“..So the problem is Bruce’s parrying ability.”

“Yes.”

Iron Fist’s basics are horizontal and frame fighting.

Now that we’ve moved to Full Dive, the standard frame isn’t the same as before, but for convenience, we’ll still use the same units as before.

This frame could be seen as the alpha and omega of Iron Fist.

Each technique’s activation frame or stiffness frame determines the loss, and predicts the opponent’s technique and responds accordingly, counterattacks, and breaks or guards when taking damage. Frames can be seen as the essence of the offense and defense and psychological warfare within Iron Fist.

Bruce Green has really shaken up the game since this patch.

“Is it possible that an extreme Wing Chun user could theoretically gain an absurd amount of frame gains by taking on Bruce Green?”

“Yes. And it won’t just be about being strong.”

In other words, it’s the same as becoming a fraudulent character that will never be seen again.

Of course, not just anyone could have caught Bruce and done that.

It wasn’t for nothing that no problems were found during the initial balance test.

Since Bruce Green’s fraudulence is not evident by normal standards, it was not detected during the balance test.

Top-level users who can shorten combos to 0.1 seconds through continuous on-and-off of activation, cancellation, correction, and non-compensation.

Even among such masters, this would only be possible if one’s enlightenment about Wing Chun is so extreme that one can perform Bruce Green’s moves on one’s own in the game.

The simulation figures that were actually brought in were also the results of assuming such an absurd case.

“But was there a user like that within Iron Fist?”

“Yes, that would be the case for China’s Tianlong.”

As he says that, he shows us something else.

Additional simulation results data.

This is what came out when I ran a simulation based on the figures from analyzing Cheonrong’s play so far.

The result is that if you’re at Cheonlong’s level, you can use Bruce Green in ridiculously fraudulent ways.

“···hmm?”

The team leader’s eyes narrowed when he saw that.

If Cheonlong catches him, Bruce Green becomes that much of a fraud?

He tilted his head slightly and expressed his doubts with a “ssup.”

“If this continues, does that mean Bruce will become the ultimate fraud? That means no one will be able to defeat Cheonlong.”

“Yes. I checked it by running the simulation several times.”

“hmm···”

‘..Is that it?’

Suddenly, a famous line from a streamer he often sees these days comes to mind.

Bb-

The team leader stretched his hand into the air and manipulated something.

What you are looking for is a streaming platform called Twerk.

There was a team leader who went in and searched for one of the broadcasts he had been watching earlier.

Then select the relevant clip.

“Look at this.”

And then he manipulates something else.

Then, the account information of [SKYDRAGON], the opponent who confronts [Humgeujeongdunga] in the twerk clip he made, appears.

“This is Cheonrong’s Asian server account.”

“Right. Would you like to watch it all?”

One of Cheonrong’s sub-accounts.

The character you play as is, of course, Bruce Green.

If the simulation results are correct, it will show ridiculous performance.

Cheonlong’s opponent, who appears to be a streamer.

I’m using the new Tetsujin in this update.

Judging from the movements, it looks like grizzly mode has been activated.

‘Bad luck, that streamer.’

Grizzly is the worst draw for Tetsujin.

What Iron Fist imitates is the fighting techniques of other characters, not the reach, physique, or range of fire of other characters.

Therefore, even if it is the same technique, the judgment is not exactly the same as the original character, and it is also difficult to use combos depending on body type or reach.

In other words, characters that excel at combo attacks that utilize their immense arm reach and body type to make up for their lack of speed, like Grizzly, are extremely difficult to handle with Tetsujin.

Even the opponent was Bruce Green, who was being handled by Cheonlong.

It must have been so ridiculous…

“···hmm?”

[Bam! Bam!]

That would be normal···

“······?”

[“Huh, huh? Huh?!”]

…Why is Cheon-rong losing to Bruce?

His eyes wavered.

[“Wow, so this is what it means for bears to tear people apart?”]

Doesn’t that seem like it’s not just a loss?

“Would you like to watch the next video?”

The video the team leader played along with those words.

It’s the same character this time too.

Tetsujin VS Bruce Green.

Of course, Tetsujin’s mode had changed to another character.

And what I saw was…

[“Oh, this is coming from here?”]

[Kkaang─!!]

···Trevor Bali’s Bruce Green from Cheonlong.

[Bam! Bam!]

[“Huh. You’re already dead.”]

···Bruce Green of Kujoro Bali, the Tenryu.

[Swish- shush- shush-]

[“The leader of Leaf Village strikes twice, nin-nin!”]

···Bruce Green of Tenrō who goes to Hattori.

How many rounds have you actually played?

And in different modes too?

The team member glanced at the team leader.

The team leader stares at him intently.

His eyes seemed to be saying this.

‘Is this… a scam…?’

“······”

I was speechless.

“Okay, let’s run the simulation again.”

Eventually, after additional testing, Bruce ended up being hotfixed, raising a lot of questions among the balance team – are you really going to play with this?
