Chapter 122: Speedrunning Contest to Divert Attention
"The first time the original intention held an event", "Hollow Knight", "rich rewards".
BUFF is full.
It is also reasonable to set off a craze within the player community.
This speedrunning competition is divided into four tracks.
"No main evil path, any ending speed pass", "Evil path speed pass", "Five Gate speed pass", "Path of Pain".
Needless to say, the first speed pass refers to the behavior of not taking advantage of vicious bugs in the game, and players can only rely on the reasonable mechanisms in the game to pass the level.
The second one is more interesting. No matter what game it is, there must be bugs inside. Some games will even use some particularly interesting game bugs as part of the game and the selling point of the game.
If the first track competes on players' proficiency, operations and mentality, then the second track competes on the exploration of the game and their whimsical ideas.
In the third track, currently on the entire steam platform, the number of people who have passed the five-door achievement can be counted on one hand.
As for the last track...
As soon as it was released, the official account of Chuxin Game Studio fell again.
"What a stupid path of pain. King Bai, you are such a stick. Who can seem to have nothing to do but arrange so many chainsaws and traps in your own palace!"
"I broke my defense. I really broke my defense. When I was beaten up by the BOSS, I didn't feel so sad. I'll **** you on the road of suffering!"
"What is the purpose of this level?"
Players frantically expressed their first feelings when facing the road of pain and dancing in the White House.
But these guys were soon dumbfounded.
As soon as Chuxin announced the start of the competition, a player immediately successfully uploaded a video on the Xiaopo website, and it passed the appraisal of Chuxin's official staff. The video was a valid result.
[3 minutes 27 seconds 03]
This appalling result made countless people who had been stuck in this place for several days frowning and unable to complete the challenge.
How the hell did you get there in more than three minutes on such a long road?
But when the players clicked on the video, they were completely silent.
"Why are your Emperor's Wings different from mine? You have been flying in the sky and never stopped!"
"I'll drop a turtle, and I'll be able to chop smoothly. Compared with the little knight you control, I'm like a polio patient."
"Hollow Knight? Ace Combat!"
As time went by, more and more videos passed the review and began to gradually appear on the list.
Among them, the first track has received the least amount of attention.
Because the overall process of clearing the level is relatively long, there are not many players who can persist in watching the entire process, and when one mistake can cause the whole game to be lost, there are not enough players participating in this track.
But there is still a group of die-hard viewers.
The UP owner who posted the video was able to clear the whole process smoothly, and the process of planning the route rationally was mesmerizing.
The second track is completely a fight between gods.
The friends who were watching the game were scratching their heads, and they didn't understand why the Little Knight was sitting on a bench in Ditmouth one second, and then suddenly arrived at King's Pass the next second.
Forget it, you can pass through walls and float in the air. Are you sure you are playing a game with us?
The third track also has many big names emerging.
Watching them move freely among the five gates and defeat all BOSS easily is a visual feast.
"I, Diguigui, am really that crazy, aren't I? I activate Wrath of the Dead to fight the BOSS in a row?"
"One drop of blood. Although the damage is much higher, you will die if you touch it!"
“Playing is all about excitement!”
At this time, Lao Lu's "Salted Fish Players Exchange Group" also started a heated discussion about this speedrunning contest. Lao Lu: "@mirror three students push, two students push! Your record has been surpassed!"
Mirror Sansheng Tui: "If you pass, you will pass. No big deal, just beat it again. It's still a long time before the deadline. Besides, call me Sansheng Tui."
Yujiang Changwan: "? When did you change your name?"
Mirror Sansheng tweeted: "No, it's all my fault for that bitch Goudan. I died in front of Mr. Luo last time. I still used the same number as before because I was afraid that he would put on my shoes."
Erxiao: "Guigui, you are so rich. I don't want it even if the governor says I don't want it.
@ Zhuge Goudan, come out and get beaten! ”
Lao Lu: "@ Zhuge Goudan, come out and get beaten!"
Yujiang sang late: "@ Zhuge Goudan, come out and get beaten!"
Zhuge Goudan: "Interrupt the rereading! Chang Wan, why do you blame me alone? Didn't you recognize it was Mr. Luo? You must take at least 99% of the responsibility!"
Yujiang sang late: "Just say that Mr. Luo wasn't brought in by you and that's it. Don't try to force me to do this."
Zhuge Goudan: (Exclusive red envelope recommended to Mirror Sansheng).
Mirror Sansheng tweeted: "Why do you have the nerve to hand out a penny?"
Zhuge Goudan: "I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry! By the way, are you sure you will win the prize this time? I heard that European and American players will also participate in this event."
Mirror Sansheng commented: "I don't know. Judging from the current situation, I am still sure to win the prize, but the problem is that no one knows whether other players will discover some amazing new routes and hide their tricks. ”
Indeed, for speed-running rules, continuous practice to improve proficiency is equivalent to wearing armor and sharpening weapons in the cold weapon era.
But the emergence of new tracks is undoubtedly a hot weapon.
You might not make any mistakes on the old route, but it's better to run casually on the new route. This kind of thing is inevitable.
Lao Lu: "Come on!"
Erxiao: "Come on!"
And while the domestic players are in full swing, the European and American players will naturally not let this event go.
The reward Luo gave this time can be said to be quite generous.
The first place winner in each track is worth NT$30,000, along with many peripheral gifts, as well as the commemorative "Beginner's Hardcore Player" medal.
The second place has ten thousand, the third place has five thousand, and then decreases in order.
At this time, the Little John group on the telegram was also in an uproar.
Little John: "No. 1! Serena, you are so awesome!"
Serena: "Boring, this time 'pureplayer' did not participate in this speedrunning competition."
Dizzard: "My queen! No one is your opponent!"
Dunn: "Stupid chimp."
Not to mention the enthusiasm of players at home and abroad for this event created by Yu Chuxin, Luo, who had returned to China at this moment, breathed a sigh of relief.
“Finally, an event has covered up the hot spots of DLC.
Otherwise, those guys pushing for mirrorDLC might make a big fuss.
Luo is really a genius, hahaha! ”
