Fun If You Do It Well (8)

The Brawl mode in Metal Punch was designed around the premise of 'cooperation.' However, at this moment, shoulder felt it was necessary to revise that premise.

"Hmm, everyone. I think it's better if I don't jump in this time."

Shoulder, who had been watching the close contest between Lee Gyeongbok and Kats, made his decision. But to the viewers, it only raised more questions.

As question marks filled the chat, shoulder spoke again.

"As you can see, right now Purple is collecting patterns, right? Fighting gamers especially understand how important this process is. But Purple compresses that process to an extreme degree."

During this, Lee Gyeongbok was learning various characters' skills that Kats demonstrated. Shoulder could sense Lee Gyeongbok's reaction speed growing ever sharper.

"As proof, do you see it now? Look! Purple is taking guard stance even before Kats' skill comes out. Wow, this is just crazy!"

― Hyuuuung? Our eyes are totally useless, you know!

― Ah lol, true(can't see it)

― What's different from a moment ago? lolol

― As expected, seeing in frames, huh?

― It's bad enough not having Perfect Eye, now I don't even have Frame Eye ㅠㅠ

― Anyway, those who live in the heavenly realm!

Unfortunately, the viewers did not have the discernment to tell the difference. Shoulder cleared his throat and tried to explain again.

"So, to explain it theoretically, it's like this. The skill actions a character performs are actions predetermined by the system, right? When we input a command, it's executed as is. But in other words, the preparatory movements are always the same."

As he spoke, shoulder casually demonstrated a couple of straight punches.

"Okay, see now? Before Severus throws a punch, he pulls his arm back and twists his waist. Once you get used to this, just seeing the arm and the waist move is enough to instantly input 'Ah, it's a straight punch.' Then, you block high! That's how you respond."

Most characters needed a preparatory motion before using a skill. Some had a drastically short interval and their skills were considered 'instant activation,' but even those, shoulder could read.

"But now look at Purple. He physically blocks a skill he's seeing for the first time, and then if the same skill comes out again, his guard is already up before it hits. That means he's figured out the pattern after just one look."

― Oh? Now that you say it, maybe?

― No, lol, godple just blocks and dodges everything

― If you could distinguish this, would you really be a Trooper? lol

― For real, lol, it's just because Shoulder hyung said so

― You only relate if you've experienced it firsthand

Shoulder burst into laughter at the viewers' reactions.

"Yeah, to get to this level, you need to reach at least Omega tier. Anyway, you know the famous saying: 'If you don't know, you get hit.' But conversely, if you know, you don't get hit. That's why, at higher ranks, mind games become more important than physical skills."

That all skill actions were the same meant that even the speed and power were uniform. Thus, as the tier increased, mind games became a larger part of 'skill' than sheer reflex.

"But AI won't use mind games against players. It just reacts according to its fixed algorithm."

But right now, the Kats Lee Gyeongbok was facing was an AI, not a person. No matter how high the difficulty, it was nothing like a real mind game.

"So, as you all probably expected, the winner has already been decided—Purple. That's why I'm not intervening. At this point, jumping in would only disrupt Purple's learning process."

If Shoulder were to intervene, kats would adjust its algorithm for fighting 2:1 instead of 1:1. That would limit the number of skill patterns Lee Gyeongbok could observe.

― Oh lol, what insight

― Metal Punch living legend level lol

― No, lol, shouldn't you get in there and mess him up more?

― For real, lol, he wants to make Godple even stronger?

― A streamer who boosts his competition, what a world!?

Even as viewers admired the logic, they joked around. After all, this was a cooperative content, but ultimately, they'd be fighting each other at the platform event.

Helping your future rival grow—does that make sense?

"I've felt many times during this joint stream that Purple is a true genius. But I've never felt it so clearly as I do now."

Shoulder responded with a smile.

"That's why I want it even more. I'd rather face a complete genius than an unfinished one. I mean, think about it. Wouldn't that be so much more fun?"

― Ah lol, that's so Shoulder!

― Competitive fire is insane!

― Ah, so this is what it means to be the 'Conqueror.'

― You can only do this if you have the skills to back it up

― For real lol, that's true dignity

― Is this 'key carrying' or whatever?

― Eh

― If you're an old hand, you can't let this go lol

The stronger the opponent, the sweeter the victory. As a master of fighting games, shoulder knew this all too well.

While their conversation went on, Lee Gyeongbok steadily whittled away at Kats' stamina.

And finally.

"I've seen everything I needed."

Lee Gyeongbok finished off with the move commonly called the 'flying side kick.'

With a loud bang and explosive effects, kats' stamina dropped to zero.

― Wow!

― Damn, lolol how did he not get hit even once

― Kats bastard lol, got cocky but couldn't land a single hit?

― Zero clean hits, what's that?

― Kats guy is doing so well as an Elden fan lol

― Final boss just became a Trooper instantly lol

As the match ended, the viewers expressed their joy. The fighting game fans in particular were amazed.

― Godple and Shoulder synergy is legendary...

― How do both of them not get hit even once lolol

― This actually works?

― A whole stage with no clean hits, is that for real?

― Insert the "is this for real" meme

― Punhahaha

― Ah lol, don't ruin the mood!

Not allowing any hits other than guard damage—the achievement left everyone awed.

Lee Gyeongbok laughed at the chat, then turned to Shoulder.

"Ah, sorry about that. I think I took over your share while focusing."

"Huh? Oh, not at all. That's no problem. Actually, it was more fun to watch up close."

When Lee Gyeongbok apologized sheepishly, shoulder waved his hands and dismissed it. As everyone enjoyed the light mood, the scene transitioned.

"Oh, looks like it's the ending."

― At last!

― Show Kats bastard's final moments already!

― No, lol, how are they going to end this?

― Usually, they tease the next installment at the end, right?

As the cutscene began, everyone's attention returned to the screen. Kats appeared, writhing in pain and rolling on the floor, prompting waves of "lol" in the chat.

Then, as Kang Neoul and Severus rushed at him to finish things off—

"Boss!"

Suddenly, a shout rang out, followed by a hail of gunfire. Startled, the two dove for cover and peeked out.

"Damn, reinforcements!?"

"Shit! We were so close..."

The camera showed a helicopter descending from above and elite agents rappelling down.

In the cutscene, kats gave a sneering grin as he grabbed the ladder from the helicopter.

"The research results are impressive. But in the end, the final victor is me!"

The viewers were dumbfounded by the scene.

-???

― There's no way they'd let him get away, right?

― Ah lol, that's straight up unfair

― Why is Kats' exit so lame compared to his entrance? lolol

― That's too pathetic, honestly?

― Ugh, this ending? It's gross!

― Seriously, at least let him exit in style, ffs lolol

― Kats, you bastard! Get out of Hirokatsu's body!

― Give us back Hiro!

Despite the outcry, Lee Gyeongbok was calm. He sensed this wasn't the true end.

'This feeling...'

Sensing something from beyond the screen, he smiled inwardly. Just then, as the helicopter was about to ascend—

With a piercing shunk, something struck Kats' body.

"Keuh...!"

Coughing up blood, kats looked down in disbelief. What had pierced his abdomen was a katana, soaked in his blood.

He soon fell, and Kang Neoul and Severus turned toward the direction the katana had come from.

"Tsujimoto!"

"He was alive!"

As the two's faces lit up, the camera shifted. Tsujimoto, thought to have died in a helicopter explosion, was standing with another Robin Hood's support.

But he hardly looked healthy. Half his face was covered in bandages, apparently given emergency treatment.

― Godjimoto-sensei!

-5252, I knew you'd make it!

― Ah lol, now this is a proper ending

― Such a cliché, but maybe that's why it feels good?

― Kats bastard tried to 50/50 mixup and 50/50-ed himself right down the gutter lol

― Kats dies and Hiro returns!

― Just doing the basics is enough, seriously lol

The audience celebrated his survival. Then, the three approached the fallen Kats.

"You think you've won...?"

Barely alive, kats spoke with difficulty.

"You think... this is the end? Victory belongs... to me, kats..."

As his voice faltered toward the end, kats' eyes lost their focus. The chat jeered at his final lines.

-3rd-rate villain dialog level lol

― He's dead—what's he gonna do? lolol

― Ah lol, trying to get a matchmaking in the afterlife

― What even is afterlife matchmaking lololol

― Waiting for a final showdown in hell, or what? lolol

― Go match up with Doctor Ace there, please lolol

But Tsujimoto's next words changed the mood instantly.

"We won this time, but he wasn't wrong."

"What?"

"What do you mean?"

The chat echoed Kang Neoul and Severus' confusion with question marks. Tsujimoto asked in a grave voice.

"Do you remember what I said about something more important?"

"Of course."

"You left off mid-sentence in the elevator, right?"

― Oh? That's right?

― That was a hint, wasn't it?

― No, lol, it did seem obvious

― What else are they going to reveal now?

― No way, feeling uneasy when Kats is already down

The viewers recalled the earlier cutscene.

"You'll understand better if you see it for yourself, rather than explanations."

A voice interrupted, startling both men into looking back. The figure on screen drew a mix of question marks and exclamation points in the chat.

"Tsujimoto...?"

"What, what is this!?"

Standing there was another Tsujimoto. The two switched their gazes between the injured Tsujimoto and the newly appeared one.

"Kats has already finished analyzing all the kidnapped martial artists. You know what that means, having fought him yourselves."

Some viewers caught on to the situation as Tsujimoto continued.

― Wait, was the Kats gimmick tied to the story?

― Oh? So the final boss's gimmick isn't just for show?

― LOL, he'd already analyzed all the martial arts styles and was using them all

Tsujimoto kept explaining.

"But what's more important for you is this: There is no world that either of you remembers anymore."

"... What?"

"What does that mean?"

"You were not kidnapped."

The injured Tsujimoto spoke, straining to get the words out. The two men's eyes widened.

"Wait, don't tell me..."

The cutscene then flashed back to the stage 1 capsule. The two Tsujimotos filled the split screen.

"Neither of you are the kidnapped individuals—you are clones, enhanced by copying the originals."

Tsujimoto confirmed the suspicion.

"And our Robin Hood group also used clone technology to fight against the Kats Group. Even knowing it was wrong..."

Both men froze in shock. So did the viewers.

― Whoa, dropping a backstab at the end

― So that's why there were two Tsujimotos

― And the multiple labs were a clue too?

Tsujimoto nodded as if understanding their confusion.

"You must be confused. But now you see—the Kats here isn't the original either."

"To be precise, even if Kats dies, he can be resurrected with clone technology. To truly destroy Kats Group, we'll need more allies."

The dual Tsujimotos' explanation graveled Kang Neoul and Severus' expressions.

"If we don't defeat them, there'll just be more versions of me."

"And they even do brainwashing, right? So that means there could be a 'me' already being used?"

"If we want our original lives back, we have no other choice but to break the Kats Group."

With that, Kang Neoul and Severus shook hands with their respective Tsujimotos, reaching their conclusion.

The cutscene faded to black as the Metal Punch logo appeared.

― Our fight starts now, ending lol

― Lolol, so fighting-game-like

― Feels like they made the story fit the genre rather than writing the plot first lol

― For real, with this setup, mirror matches make perfect sense

― Everyone's a bad clone except me, that's the story

― But if this is the skip route ending, what's the original ending?

― Oh? You're right. Is there a different route ending?

As if waiting for it, the fighting game fans piped up in the chat.

― This is the improved ending, lolol

― For real, in the original route Tsujimoto dies and doesn't show up

― Kats escapes right away in an Underwear-run, lol

― A clone Tsujimoto shows up later to explain the situation lol

― Then it's a revenge vow ending, lol

― So frustrating, seriously lol

― You have to experience getting blindsided to really get it, lol

It was a tone as if refusing to suffer alone. Lee Gyeongbok laughed and added a comment.

"Now that you mention it, the skip route is way better."

"Oh, for sure. Well, sometimes I want to see Purple suffer, but he dodged it like a ghost."

― Skip ending really looks like gold in retrospect lol

― Veteran move: enjoy watching newbies suffer

― But Godple just dodged it as always?

― Solved with Perfect Common Sense, lol

― Finished first try, just like that lol

As everyone laughed and joked, the scene returned to the lobby.

Lee Gyeongbok glanced at the clock and clapped his hands lightly.

"Well, today, I was joined by Shoulder for our first joint stream. Honestly, it was such a fun time it was hard to believe it was our first."

"Oh, I really had a great time, too. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming platform event, 'Let's Go Set-To!'

It's sure to be even more fun!"

Shoulder responded immediately, starting the wrap-up.

― What! Ending it already?

― Just a little more, please!

― Do a World Cup before you go!

― I'll miss thisㅠㅠ

― You're really stopping here?

― Why is time rushing by with no awareness?

― This is all Hirokatsu's fault!

― For real lol, kats should've had thirty times the stamina

― Hirokatsu, you bastaaaard!

Shoulder grinned at the outcry and joked around.

"Wow, the viewers' reactions are so different from mine. When I try to end my stream, they complain that I'm ending too late, you know?"

― No, lol, hyung, you need to wrap up earlier

― Don't you know we can rank up to Omega when you're off air?

― You sneak in while the gatekeeper's away, lol

― But the catch is you get matched and stomped right after, lol

― Stop hating on fighting gamersㅠㅠ

Viewers responded in kind, teasing. Lee Gyeongbok caught on to Shoulder's intention.

'He's even looking out for me so I can end stream comfortably.'

The mix of disappointment from viewers was something he was used to at every broadcast, but for Shoulder, it might not be. Lee Gyeongbok smiled, then waved his hand.

"Alright, thank you everyone for watching today's channel. See you again in the next stream!"

"Let's Go Set-To! Please look forward to it!"

Shoulder also waved goodbye as the screen turned off.

― Wow lol, a collab with Shoulder but ending right on time

― As expected from the Unique Sword's skills

― Is that the sword itself, lol

― Ah lol, can't wait to see the platform event

― After seeing today, if those two fight, it'll be legendary

Viewers, still feeling the afterglow, chatted away, brimming with anticipation.

But soon, everyone's attention shifted to a single message.

― Weren't we supposed to do something after the stream?

That one question lit up everyone's minds.

― Oh!

― Goods vote!

― Is it live now?!

― Oh, it's up!

― Ah lol, going right now

It was a request directly from their favorite streamer. If a little participation could help, there was no reason not to.

Moreover...

― Bring out the goods!

― Kemalcon figure has to be Tier 1!

― Can't resist Perfect merch, lol

It was something for themselves, too.
