The chubby guy was actually suppressed by the counterattack of the Bag King? Although it was just a kick, it allowed Allen to notice Feng Yi's mastery of basic skills. In other words, the reason Feng Yi gave people the impression of constant swaying and wobbling on the spot was that he was constantly anticipating his next move, as each character's actions require a time gap to execute.
In the early days, the joystick wasn't as responsive as mecha controls. If the operations were too fast, like completing a move within 0.03 seconds, there was a chance the move wouldn't be executed because of the speed. This limitation doesn't exist with mecha, so not only must you execute moves accurately, but you must also grasp the time gap correctly, observing the opponent's actions and making subsequent judgments in advance.
For experts at their level, a subtle opportunity can vanish in an instant. At such moments, you might not be able to make the first move in advance because the system feedback is limited by time. Ordinary people wouldn't notice these limitations, but at their level, they'd have some insights.
So, just from that move, Allen realized that Feng Yi was indeed a super expert.
It's fair to say that in recent days, Allen hasn't fought many matches, only a few hundred. He did lose a few at first, but as he got the hang of it, within just an hour, he could beat most players on the platform.
As Allen deepened his understanding of the gaming mechanics recently, he increasingly felt that the game wasn't that hard to learn. He had only encountered two people who swayed on the spot like Feng Yi.
One player's combat data showed over ten thousand wins and over two thousand losses. Such data clearly made him at least a second-tier expert on the platform, unless he fought only rookies. But during that battle, Allen observed thousands of viewers, so he believed the data was genuine.
The reality perfectly matched Allen's speculation. Dueling with this player felt different than with others. He could clearly feel the battle rhythm accelerated, the frequency increased, and the opponent's attacks, reverse judgments, and mastery of jump distances were all perfectly executed. Initially, Allen didn't have the advantage. From start to finish, he was constantly getting pressed.
It wasn't until he inserted the third coin that he began to recover his disadvantage, turning it into an advantage after ten matches.
Allen's learning ability was indeed strong. Ever since facing that expert, he hadn't lost again.
For several days straight, without bragging or exaggerating, he felt that even if he wasn't the top expert, he was at least very close. Allen even had thoughts of quitting the game, suddenly finding it uninteresting and joyless. As a higher-dimensional life form, this game brought him no pleasure.
Allen decided to persist for three more days, aiming to win two ten-round matches a day, meaning twenty matches, provided he could find experts with decent data.
Until last night, two days after deciding to quit the game forever, he finally encountered a first-tier expert with a blue font prompt.
Initially, Allen didn't understand why the opponent was swaying; he only knew that nearly a million spectators were watching.
What does several million mean? In this almost forgotten niche game, it nearly aggregated the entire federal population's numbers. In other words, among the many in the Federation, just a few million persisted with this game.
Yet in that battle, there were nearly a million viewers watching, without prior notice, proving the opponent was very strong.
The battle began quickly. Right off the bat, Allen found himself completely passive, feeling led by the opponent no matter how he acted. In terms of positioning and combo fluency, he clearly felt that this expert's suppression was unlike that of a second-tier expert. Whereas a second-tier expert tried to suppress the opponent as much as possible until they couldn't breathe, Allen felt that whatever move he made, the opponent could break it.
Besides, the opponent's attack fluency and combo reaction were far superior to second-tier experts, with even more noticeable body shaking. In the first few rounds, Allen found no advantage, utterly passive until he decided to find ways to interrupt the opponent's attacks, to break free from being led by the nose. Only then did he gradually realize the importance of light attack constraints.
But that realization didn't mean Allen could regain the advantage. Although his comprehension was strong, he had just understood it in the fight. As the score gap widened, Allen began his comeback after the opponent reached an eight to zero against him.
Ultimately, the battle ended with a score of ten to five.
Allen lost, but didn't concede. Before exiting the battle, he clicked the ready button once more.
The expert seemed to realize that not only had Allen broken out of his rhythm, but he also felt slightly suppressed. He hesitated for a moment, yet Allen provocatively typed into the barrage: "Running is for turtles."
Without hesitation, the expert clicked ready, entering the rematch.
