Chapter 2202: Miyama Kaito's Birthday Celebration Party
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
I stop turning the garapon lottery for a moment, drawn in by the sudden and intriguing topic of a video game tournament, and focus on Alices explanation.
Now then, lets keep things simple First of all, I imagine many of you might be wondering What is a video game?. To put it simply, its a type of entertainment from Kaito-sans world the world created by Makina. Lets explain while watching it in action Here it is.
As Alice says this, a large monitor appears behind the commentary table, displaying the screen of an extremely famous four-player competitive game.
To explain very simply, you use this controller to operate a character on the screen. To make it easier to understand, you can think of it like controlling puppets using magic tools to battle each other. Up to 4 people can play at once, and since we have people who can create anything just lying around with nothing to do, we had them make a bunch of these game consoles. Especially that idiot who was busy making some kind of cursed museum or whatever Anyway, since multiple matches can be held at the same time in groups of 4, the pacing of corresponding matches should be good.
Shall-tan, arent you being pretty harsh on Earth God-sama?
You can just handle that guy roughly. If you spoil her, she immediately gets carried away and starts running wild I mean, she actually went ahead and made that weird building again, didnt she?
U- Umm, Id appreciate it if you didnt bring up topics that are hard for me to respond to I mean, its fine since Earth God-sama is super indulgent with Shall-tan, but I cant just say whatever I want about her.
Alices treatment of Makina is indeed rather casual, but thats because theyre close friends who know each other well.
Actually, as Fate-san pointed out, Makina is absurdly indulgent when it comes to Alice Like, to an almost ridiculous degree. She probably got talked into mass-producing these game consoles without much resistance.
But Shall-tan, even if were competing through Otherworld entertainment, wouldnt there be a huge difference between Peerage Holders and regular people? Wouldnt it end up being one-sided?
Oh! As expected of Fate-san, thats a great question. If it were a direct physical fight, then yes, it would be completely unbalanced. However, in video games, things are different. As I mentioned, this is a form of entertainment from Kaito-sans world. In other words, it was designed with humans as the standard more specifically, its based on the reaction speed of humans who dont have any magic-enhanced physical abilities. The stronger you are, the slower things will feel to you.
Oh yeah, thats right. Kai-chans world doesnt have magic, does it?
Exactly. Well then, lets have Fate-san try it out. The controls are really simple, so
As expected, Alice and Fate-san continue their lively exchange while smoothly explaining things, and Fate-san agrees to do a test play.
This game is very well known, and Ive played it before with Aoi-chan and Hina-chan, as well as with a few other acquaintances. Just like Alice said, I remember that everyone struggled a lot with the reaction speed.
Eh? Why? I blocked that, didnt I!?
You pressed the button too early, so by the time the opponent actually attacked, your guard had already dropped. Timing is everything.
Timing huh. So I just need to match the opponents attack properly Ehhh!? Why did that hit me!?
Fate-san, you might feel like your timing was perfect, but it was actually too perfect. You didnt account for the slight delay between pressing the button and your character executing the action. By the way, this game console has an input delay of roughly 1/300,000th of the speed of light.
Thats slow!
For normal humans, thats actually way too fast Anyway, you have to account for that kind of delay to control the game properly. Also, button mashing wont register if it exceeds a certain speed. Even if you understand it logically, your instincts might still react differently, so fully adapting to it within the tournament timeframe will be difficult well, if you exclude a certain bug, that is
I see. Listening to Alices explanation, it really does seem like even the Six Kings and regular people could have a fair match in this game. Also, when she mentioned bug, she was probably referring to Lilia-san. Ive actually played this game with Lilia-san before. At first, she was confused for a few rounds but after that, she started performing frame-perfect inputs like it was nothing and became pretty strong.
However, either due to bad luck or some unknown force at work, she kept getting hit or caught up in the random stage hazards and interference items. Because of that, her overall performance was about the same as mine, Aoi-chans, and Hina-chans.
The best player among the ones Ive played with is Amel-san. She was immediately fascinated by the idea of Otherworld games, and her eyes sparkled whenever she saw special moves and flashy attacks. More than anything though, she really seemed to enjoy playing together with friends. I remember playing with her quite a lot so in terms of experience, shes probably among the top players in this entire venue.
That said, since she loves pulling off stylish combo sequences and going for dramatic finisher moves, she often leaves herself open. So while shes strong, shes not unbeatable, meaning the matches will probably end up being pretty well-balanced in the end.
Serious-senpai : [A four-player game with simple controls Just what kind of fighting game is this?]
? ? ? : [Well, theres also the possibility that its Bomberman]
Serious-senpai : [That doesnt have combos or special moves]
