I Regressed But The World DidnT Fall Apart

I Regressed But The World Didn’T Fall Apart 79

Returning, the world is not ruined -79-

079.

“So this is how it is.”

After selecting Tetsujin and completing his preparations, a message appeared in the lower left corner of his sight.

Seeing that, Ido Hyuk continued to communicate with the viewers.

During the broadcast, it was essential to fill the sound, so he had turned off the voice settings a few days ago.

Unless you were friends, no matter how loud you were, the other party wouldn’t hear you.

He also turned off the record public setting.

An overwhelmingly perfect win rate.

Pro players or well-known amateur broadcasters had their pride, and even for the sake of others’ views, they wouldn’t do that.

Due to encountering so-called random pick trolls who, upon confirming that the opponent was Ido Hyuk by checking his record, would forcibly end the match claiming they would manage their record.

“The expressions on their faces when I picked Trevor were quite amusing.”

The ruthless killer that appeared on the Asian server.

Users who didn’t know his true identity didn’t exist in the Asian server Celestial Realm.

Thanks to this, when Ido Hyuk picked Trevor and readied up, most opponents would pause for a moment, and after a few handshakes at the start of the match, their faces would quickly turn sour.

The taste of victory was one thing, but witnessing such a change in expression was another reason why Ido Hyuk had focused on Trevor play for a while.

Ping- Ping-

[MODE: Bruce Green]

Ildo-hyuk would prepare and cancel his preparations as an experiment, repeating the process until completion.

[MODE: Bruce Green]

However, that didn’t change the mode.

Once started, it seemed fixed.

Well, thinking about it, it made sense.

If you could change modes by unlocking and redoing Ready, you could keep unlocking and completing until you got what you wanted.

“Hmm.”

At that moment.

Ildo-hyuk’s expression changed.

A face deeply contemplating something.

He had discovered a problem.

“This character. I see a huge problem with it now.”

It wasn’t just any problem.

It was a challenge he faced for the first time in Iron Fist.

-But

-?

-Is there some kind of bug?

“To understand what it is… I need to know the character’s name!”

Bruce Green.

Who on earth is that?

When it came to Iron Fist characters that Ildo-hyuk remembered, there were Kujo, Masamune, Trevor, Ryu, and Grizzly.

Grizzly was a name that clearly pointed to a bear character, so he knew it, and the rest he had played multiple times himself, but other than that, he didn’t know any names.

-?

-?

-No;

-F**k hahahaha

-Come to think of it, this gentleman is on his seventh day in Iron Fist;

-Damn hahahaha, did something major happen?

“This is a big deal.”

Ding-

[‘Southern Sailor’ has donated 1,000 won.]

-Haven’t you faced many characters until now?

“Hmm. Since I don’t have any memorable friends, I don’t know the character names well…”

-hahahaha

-Don’t be so careless!

-??? : Do you remember exactly how many loaves of bread you’ve eaten so far?

-Whoa, Brando is on fire.

Of course, when you thought about it, it was a problem that was important and not so important to Ildo-hyuk.

An ordinary Tetujin user would need to know what skills each character has, which ones are useful, and how to connect them into combos…

“So, who is Bruce Green?”

– There’s an old Black man who practices Chinese martial arts.

– He’s only been here for a year.

– Yeongchun Fist… Our peers all know about it…

– Hey, is this good? It seems a bit difficult.

– Its performance is quite good, but it’s hard to handle.

“Ah, Yeongchun Fist.”

It wasn’t really necessary for Lee Dohyuk to focus so much on that aspect.

Swish-

He adjusted his posture.

A scene from a movie he had once watched with great admiration.

Lee Dohyuk was now recreating that memory with his posture.

His right hand like this, in a reversed position, and his left hand as if assisting him.

– Oh!

– Are you getting into the stance?

– You know Yeongchun Fist!

– Look at that, it’s the Kwon family’s Yeongchun Fist, Lee Dohyuk!

– Isn’t it obvious that it’s Lee Dohyuk?

Thud-

At that moment, his opponent, picking a character.

A cool Black character wearing sunglasses appeared.

Dressed in traditional Chinese attire with a distinctive flair.

And then, the opponent began to mimic Lee Dohyuk’s posture.

“Huh?”

Lee Dohyuk observed the opponent’s stance.

The stride was narrower, the angle of the arms different from Lee Dohyuk’s.

A posture that seemed slightly more skilled than his.

In that case…

“Hmm.”

Whoosh-

-hahahaha, this guy is copying even before we start, lol.

-No way, lol.

-This newbie is imitating already, lol.

-Newbie? Is he a friend of Dohyuk-sensei?

-Seeing you copying, the word “newbie” just slips out, lol.

-True, lol.

**

“hahahaha.”

Chunrong’s laughter deepened as he observed the opponent’s posture.

How could one not burst into laughter?

Checking his own stance, then mimicking it.

At first, something clumsy, but quickly turning quite decent.

Imitating fairly well.

Almost as if seeking instruction.

‘Posture is crucial.’

However, the world of competition follows a strict rule.

Cheolong had no intention of giving his opponent any lessons.

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

‘Nice, he’s not a Japanese.’

A will left by Yeopmun Nosa, advising not to pass on Yongchunquan to a Japanese.

…Of course, he didn’t leave instructions to not pass it on, maybe because he didn’t mention selling the copyright.

Although Bruce Green, a character created with the consent of the direct successor of Yongchunquan, was introduced to the world, anyway.

[READY]

[FIGHT!]

Yongchunquan, a martial art that combines striking and grappling.

It can only be used in close combat.

The opponent is also Tetsujin in Bruce Green mode, using the same Yongchunquan, so this match will be a close combat.

Thud-thud-

Cheolong approached the opponent with a relaxed demeanor.

‘Let’s see the level of the Asian server.’

It was a relaxed attitude stemming from that thought.

Of course, there was also confidence in being able to counter any surprise attacks that might come his way.

The greatest strength of the character Bruce Green lies in his unbelievable parrying ability.

After all, Yongchunquan itself is a martial art specialized in that aspect.

A martial art that intercepts the opponent’s movements, creates openings, and lands a counterattack.

Cheolong was a master at maximizing that performance.

So…

Swoosh-

The distance between the two, now somewhat close.

Cheolong chose not to rush in, but to adjust his stance and wait.

Let me show you what your Yongchunquan is made of!

No matter the level, he would immediately counterattack after parrying!

“…”

And then,

“…”

“…”

A few seconds later.

Cheolong’s face turned to one of bewilderment.

That face was just like Lee Dohyuk’s.

At that moment, Lee Dohyuk muttered something.

Of course, it seemed like he was muttering under Cheonlong’s gaze, but in reality, he was speaking to the viewers.

“..Hey, why isn’t he attacking?”

-he said.

‘This guy···’

What’s going on?

He tried to learn something from watching Bruce’s techniques.

But suddenly, the opponent walked towards him and just stood there at a slight distance, assuming a stance without making any attacks.

-LOL

-WTF LOL

-Kakashi of the Four Wheels? Where did this one copy from!

-Are these guys doing comedy? LOL

-No wonder Gaecon4 failed, damn LOL

-Why do they always fail?

This confrontation continued for a few more seconds.

Thud!

Unable to bear it any longer, Cheonlong made the first move.

**

“Team Leader!”

An employee rushed in, opening the door with an anxious expression.

It was clear that something serious was going on.

He was one of the company’s developers.

From Noble mtl dot com

More precisely, a senior performance analyst in the Balance Team.

“What’s up? What’s going on?”

“..I think you need to see this.”

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

The first thing that caught the eye was Bruce Green, one of the characters targeted in this balance patch.

“Bruce Green? There weren’t any issues in the test results last time.”

Tsk-

The team leader clicked his tongue softly.

A somehow uneasy premonition.

They had been working tirelessly day and night for the large-scale update leading up to the EVO tournament.

With several new characters added, they had to stay up for days to finish it.

Their salary and benefits were top-notch in Japan as part of the Banco Spirits, but at times like this, they turned into a black company unlike anywhere else.

Of course, with full-dive work being the norm these days, it’s not like they couldn’t go home.

In any case, after all the hard work, they had just finished the update yesterday.

“Yes. However, there was something we failed to consider at that time.”

“Failed to consider? What part?”

“If you look here, you’ll understand···”

The team leader quickly skimmed through the screen a few times in response to the team member’s words.

On the next screen, visualized data in the form of graphs appeared.

Below that were densely packed numerical values.

“Hmm.”

The team leader’s gaze intensified.

He, too, was an active developer.

He swiftly grasped what the team member was pointing out.

“Seems like there’s an issue with Bruce’s pairing performance.”

“That’s correct.”

The core of Iron Fist lies in horizontal and frame fighting.

Although the current frame is not the same as in the past due to the Full Dive transition, for convenience, the same units as in the past are still used.

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

Understanding the loss due to the activation frame or the rigid frame of each technique, predicting the opponent’s moves, responding accordingly, counterattacking, and dealing with losses or guarding – frames were essentially the essence of offense and defense and psychological warfare within Iron Fist.

After this patch, Bruce Green completely disrupted that essence.

“If an extreme Yongchun user defeats Bruce Green, theoretically, they could gain an incredible advantage in frames, right?”

“Yes. And it’s not just a mere advantage in strength.”

In other words, he became an unbeatable scammer.

Of course, not just anyone could defeat Bruce.

During the initial balance tests, there were no issues found for no reason.

Bruce Green’s deceptive nature didn’t manifest according to the usual standards, hence why it wasn’t noticed during the balance tests.

Users at the top tier who could reduce the duration of their combo attacks by 0.1 seconds through a continuous cycle of activation, canceling, adjusting, and not adjusting.

Even among these top-tier players, one would need an exceptional understanding of Yongchun to replicate Bruce Green’s in-game actions.

The simulation data brought forward also presented results that were beyond belief.

“But are there users like that within Iron Fist?”

“Yes, it would apply to someone like Chen Long from China.”

With that said, he showed something else.

Additional simulation results.

Based on the analysis of Chen Long’s gameplay data, simulations indicated that at his level, he could exploit Bruce Green to an unbelievable extent.

“Hmm?”

The team leader’s expression narrowed as he read that.

If Chen Long gets a hold of it, Bruce Green becomes that much of a scammer?

He raised his head slightly, expressing doubt with a subtle sound.

“So, Bruce would become an ultimate scammer like this? Saying there’s no one who can defeat Chen Long.”

“Yes. We’ve confirmed it through multiple simulations.”

“Hmm…”

‘…Is that so?’

Suddenly, the famous line from a streamer he often watched came to mind.

*Thunk-*

The team leader reached out into the air, manipulating something.

What he was searching for was the streaming platform, Tworc.

He entered it to search for a broadcast he had been watching until now.

Then, he selected a related clip.

“Take a look at this.”

And then he manipulated something else.

As a result, the opponent facing the Tworc clip, [HmmPuzzling] was revealed to be [SKYDRAGON].

“So, it’s Cheonlong’s Asia server account, huh?”

“Yes. Shall we watch it through?”

One of Cheonlong’s sub-accounts.

The character being played is, of course, Bruce Green.

If the simulation results are accurate, it will show an unbelievable performance.

Cheonlong’s opponent appearing as a streamer.

They are using the newly introduced Tetsujin in this update.

Judging by the movements, it seems like they are in Grizzly Mode.

“Unlucky. That streamer.”

For Tetsujin, Grizzly is the worst draw.

Imitating the Iron Fist’s martial arts is not about the moves of other characters, nor their reach, physique, or range.

Hence, even if it’s the same technique, the judgment is not entirely the same as the original character, and it’s difficult to use combos based on physique or reach.

In other words, a character who excels in using relentless reach and physique to make up for the lack of speed, like Grizzly, is extremely challenging to handle as Tetsujin.

Especially when the opponent is Bruce Green being controlled by Cheonlong.

It must have been an unbelievably unexpected defeat…

“Huh?”

[Thud! Thwack!]

That’s more like it…

“Huh?”

[“Ugh, wha-what?! Eek?”]

…Why is Cheonlong losing as Bruce?

His eyes wavered.

[“Wow, so this is what they mean by a bear tearing someone apart?”]

It seems like it’s not just a simple defeat, right?

“Shall we watch the next video?”

With those words, the video started by the team leader.

This time, it’s the same character again.

Tetsujin VS Bruce Green.

Of course, Tetsujin’s mode has been changed to a different character.

And what they saw was…

[“Oh, it appears here?”]

[Roar─!!]

Cheonlong’s Bruce Green being pummeled by Trevor.

[Crash! Bang!]

[“Huh. You’re already dead.”]

···Kuzoro Bali as the celestial Bruce Green.

[Swish- Swish-swish-]

“The head of Leaf Village strikes twice, Ninnin!”

···Hattori Bali as the celestial Bruce Green.

How many rounds have been played?

And in different modes at that?

A team member winked, targeting the team leader.

The team leader stared right through him.

His eyes seemed to say, ‘Is this a scammer?’

“······”

There was nothing to say.

“Um, we will rerun the simulation.”

After additional tests, Bruce ended up being hotfixed among the balance team, raising various doubts – playing like that?
