Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 229
79. Nostalgic Arcade (2)
Love Thought.
‘Not bad.’
I stopped by once because of Popcorn’s recommendation.
At first, I didn’t feel like it, but then I started randomly beating up the 5th person. It felt pretty good.
“Waaaa!”
“Oooooh!”
“You’re crazy!”
“Wow… it’s salty. make.”
Hearing the cheers of fighting game fans was not as bad as I thought.
“OMG! “You play games like shit!”
It was actually nice to hear rave reviews from the losers.
No, to say it was good was not enough.
It feels like something is coming back to life.
It feels like the memory of falling asleep is stirring.
That’s what scientists said.
Memories are stored in some part of the brain.
Well, I don’t know.
Love cleared her throat and shook her head.
[A new challenger has appeared!]
[Accept]
Percussion.
My fingers tingled as I pressed the button.
At this moment, I couldn’t believe that memories were being stored in the brain.
This tingling sensation running up her fingers makes her legs, hidden under the blanket, twitch involuntarily as well.
It makes me pass by countless scenes from the past. As if searching for old memories. Gradually, the hands get out of control and move on their own.
Memories may be individual memories that every cell holds.
It may be hidden in some nook and cranny of the body.
Maybe… if I search hard and search every nook and cranny, my legs might find their memories.
‘Maybe so.’
Quang!
“Waaaa!”
“We’re going into combos one after another!? “It’s not that you can’t use combos!?”
Crash.
Look at the fingers pushing the joystick and buttons. It doesn’t move through thoughts.
They live separately with their own judgment.
Of course, this is all a delusion.
It will end someday.
It wasn’t that long.
By the time the delusion was over, the results had already come out.
“K! Oooooh!”
“Victory! “It’s an instant!?”
ha.
A faint smile appeared on his lips as he let out a breath he had held for a moment.
“Yaaaa! great! Another perfect game! 6 consecutive wins! “Can’t I even touch her with my fist!?”
“Next opponent!? “Is there a next time?”
The challenger who lost to her scratched his head shyly and ran away.
The next challenger rarely appeared.
‘hmm?’
Then, someone catches her eye.
* * *
Sanghyun looked up at the sign with an old design.
‘It’s an arcade of memories… I guess it’s fun.’
Although it is an arcade of memories.
Sang-hyeon has no special memories of the arcade.
I’ve been there a few times with friends, but I’ve never been there on my own.
I felt like I didn’t have enough time. It wasn’t that I was poor enough to be afraid of even the price of a few arcade games. Compared to the quality mobile games that are commonly played, there is no other hobby that is as cheap as this.
However, the problem was not the pocket, but the heart.
At that time, Sanghyeon had no peace of mind.
To him, the arcade was just a pathetic place where comfortable people spent their time.
In fact, I still agree with that opinion…
– Great
– It’s emotional lol
– Romance itself –
Those clean days when there were no 5-player games… I miss it…
– It brings back memories ㅠㅠ
Viewers were different.
Rather than wasting time at the arcade, they thought they were building up memories.
‘It’s far.’
At times like this, Sanghyeon feels a long distance from the lives of ordinary people.
Shuung.
I hear this name in my head.
In an instant, everything zooms out and you are left alone.
What kind of life have I lived and what kind of life should I live in the future?
Hwihwi.
Sang-hyeon shakes his head and clears away any distracting thoughts.
‘It’s not like I haven’t tried it.’
I try my best to crawl back to the distant world.
“I’ll take a look.”
-Ahaha -Good
-This
guy… what is he like outside the capsule?
-VNS If you don’t have numbers, you don’t have a body? LOL
-Jonjamgak LOL
* * *
As viewers worried, Sang-hyeon was an ordinary(?) archery player when he came out of the capsule.
My concentration and composure at the moment are surprisingly good, but that doesn’t change.
The right hand used to press buttons is defective, and dexterity will not be compensated for by VNS values.
Nevertheless, there is only one reason why he wants to take on this challenge.
Actually, there is already a correct answer in what Popcorn said when persuading him.
“If you only play virtual reality games, you’ll lose stamina, right? There’s a pretty fun challenge there too, so give it a try!”
This is because this isn’t a game played with capsules.
Yes. The disadvantages mentioned above were actually advantages for Sanghyun, who was tired.
‘Because it’s not a customized capsule. ‘You might need some time to rest.’
He entered the arcade with the intention of taking a rest.
“Waaaaaa!”
A roar hit my ears.
“Yaaaa! great! Another perfect game! 6 consecutive wins! “Can’t I even touch her with my fist!?”
It’s hotter than I thought.
The thing that is attracting the most attention right now is the fighting game, the flower of the arcade.
“Waaaa!”
“That’s crazy….”
“Why are you so good at it?”
People are flocking around, as if someone is continuing their winning streak.
-??What?
– Haha, what kind of UFC is this?
– Wow, I’m
coming to the set haha. What caught my eye more than anything was the interior of the arcade. The area where the fighting game arcade was placed was surrounded by a hexagonal iron cage, making it look like a fighting game stadium, and the rest of the games were also located in spaces that fit their respective concepts.
bang. bang. bang.
Seeing the people going crazy and banging on the iron bars, it felt like I had come to watch a fighting match.
There was even a large screen above, so you could watch the game comfortably without having to stand behind the person playing the game.
-This is an ancient lintel. Dear children.
-You have to look over your shoulder. It’s romantic, but you compromised with the world.
-ㅋㅋㅋ The beginning of the in-room scene lol
As mentioned in the chat, this culture of watching arcades could actually be the beginning of the culture of game broadcasting.
What people used to do by gathering together and watching and seeing someone who was good at it was challenge them and cheer them on, which has now been transferred to the internet.
“New challenger! Are you there!? The cost of the challenge is only 500 won!”
Listening to the host’s words, Sanghyun couldn’t help but smile.
This is because it seems like they are shouting that it costs only 500 won to be publicly executed.
‘I should do something else.’
Sanghyun decided that he could not beat the unidentified champion who was on a 6-game winning streak in arcade fighting games.
It wasn’t a sport I was confident in to begin with, nor was it a game I had in mind from the moment I entered the arcade.
Wouldn’t it be okay to just enjoy a peaceful fighter jet game?
Besides, these guys…
-What? Jol?
-Give me a challenge!
-Someone should try a mission lol
-In this world, I can cut down boss mobs with one hit, but in real life, I’m scared?!
-Why are you secretly avoiding him? Haha.
It was hard to shake off the feeling that these viewers were just waiting for him to lose.
If you lose here, the chat will probably be full of all kinds of ridicule.
So fighting games are even more of a requirement.
“Isn’t there more?! When this happens, the player here and now will be considered to have won 10 games in a row and will win the challenge!”
The fighting game win streak challenge doesn’t stop until someone achieves 10 wins in a row. It seems to disappear once someone achieves 10 consecutive wins.
“…eww. “Let’s go out.”
“Someone go and prolong his life.”
Gamers who wanted the challenge to continue pushed against each other.
Just as not everyone could participate in the independence movement during the Japanese colonial period.
No one went out.
Meanwhile—
“There.”
A clear voice was heard among the loud voices.
“Hey. “Almond.”
I hear it again.
It’s exactly calling for almonds.
“…?”
Sang-hyeon looked inside the cage, and at the same time, the eyes of numerous spectators were focused on Sang-hyeon.
“almond? “Did you say almonds?”
“Are the almonds here?”
“Eh? really?”
This is because the woman inside the cage called his name.
Everyone noticed the existence of almonds.
I even knew where it was.
The woman’s long index finger was pointing exactly at her.
‘what.’
Sanghyun, who followed the finger and raised his gaze, was surprised.
‘Choi Sarang…’
I thought it was a familiar voice. It was Choi Sarang.
Why are you here?
No, it’s worth it. Because it’s G-Star. Moreover, Popcorn, who was on the same team, is here too…
“Almond. “Would you like to do it with me?”
Knock knock.
She said, tapping her finger on the arcade across from me.
Almond hesitated for a moment.
“no, I do not want? “Are you afraid you’ll lose?”
He does not hesitate to provoke.
Are you a professional gamer after all?
-Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much
-Kyahahaha -Noona
, I’m dying! (It’s true)
-What
kind of force is this woman?
-Are you a fan of almonds?
Sanghyun pursed his lips for a moment. Is there anything else?
He is a streamer.
When something like this happens, it is his fate to have no choice but to participate.
Still, I try to resist at least once.
“I’m not good at this game.”
Eat.
He smiled as if he knew everything about love and still tapped the arcade machine across from him.
“ah. i know. It’s not fun to just win 10 games in a row like this. “Please make it 7 wins in a row.”
“?”
what? Can you make it 7 wins in a row?
Sanghyun’s expression hardened for a moment.
“Oh oh oh oh~”
The crowd cheered, as if they had noticed that Sanghyun was starting to react.
The same goes for viewers.
– Hahahahahaha –
I’m already happy that the nut who was always cocky got a real education hahaha
– In this world, I was the ultimate predator, but in real life, I’m an arcade junkie!?
-This is a romantic arcade, you idiot~
-???: Hey! you! Follow me to the capsule!
‘Why does it come with a capsule?’
Viewers are mistaken.
Even if you go to the capsule, there won’t be any other way.
Because that woman is an electromagnetic wave.
“Do it~”
“Who else would do it if not Almond!”
“Try it! “Try it!”
Not only viewers but also people everywhere start clamoring for a challenge.
If this challenge ends, Choi Sarang will achieve 10 consecutive wins and the challenge will end.
The decision didn’t take long.
“challenge.”
After Sanghyun said that. I sat in front of the arcade machine.
* * *
“ruler. Just swipe your card on top and the money will be deducted automatically!”
All you have to do is swipe your card at the arcade machine without the inconvenience of having to exchange cash for coins.
“Do you have any experience with this game before?”
Sanghyun stared at the famous arcade.
It was ‘Four Fist 14’, launched as the 14th series of the famous fighting game.
“ah… “The one I saw was around Po-Kwon 8.”
“yes. You did it a long time ago, right? Actually, not much has changed. “The graphics just got better, the hitting felt better, the map changed, and new characters came out.”
-Everything has changed?
-What’s the same haha
-ssssssssssssssssssssssshhhh
-There’s no romance when a new character comes out~
I don’t know anything else, but isn’t it difficult to respond when a new character comes out? The host adds as if reading Sanghyeon’s thoughts.
“But today, this arcade is in classic mode, so you don’t have to worry about not knowing the new character’s combo!”
“Ah…”
This is a feature that is often used in memory-selling games these days.
A method that improves the game’s graphics and basic performance while capturing elements that can evoke nostalgia in old players.
‘Thanks to you, you won’t die from a strange combo.’
Sanghyun thought so and pressed the button.
When you press any button, a famous phrase comes to mind.
“New~ Challenger~~!”
[A new challenger has appeared!]
Chuck.
Choi Sarang’s character takes the lead and moves on to the character selection screen.
‘Because my best love is Heitachi….’
Heitachi.
The representative character of this game is a grandfather who is famous for his hairstyle that takes advantage of extreme alopecia areata.
Even if you don’t know this game at all, many people know this character.
‘What should I do?’
In fact, in the Four Kwon series, there are no cases where the compatibility of each character is as sharply divided as in the reel.
Even if they are divided, it is meaningless because the method of division is different depending on skill level.
There was no way Sanghyun knew all about the compatibility.
He just chose a character he used to play.
[Blue]
The character with a Korean setting is characterized by the use of Taekwondo.
