854 [Street Fighter for Arcade]

And that's not all.

Kowloon Game Company, for this competition, even applied to the headquarters for an umbrella bodyguard. Because the umbrella is a special company of the Xu Group, its expansion is not an independent or blind expansion, but as any subsidiary of the group arrives at a new location, the purpose is to protect the subsidiary as one of the main cores.

Because there are so many people, if there is an accident, a stampede, etc., then this good thing is bound to turn into a bad thing.

Nobody wants to turn this event into a tragedy, if it's a comedy. You know, in addition to many contestants, there are also many spectators!

It's not just the bodyguard of the umbrella.

Even the Los Angeles police took the initiative to send people over to maintain law and order, and as a person to maintain law and order, they naturally had no reason to watch the accident happen, and the necessary maintenance was certain.

Charlie and Steve didn't think about it so much, but Steve sighed with emotion: "In the future, I will also hold such a grand, um, or press conference?"

"Don't talk so much, let's play. Charlie came to the arcade with some excitement, and the character he chose was named "Li Xiaolong", and the character chosen by Steve was "The Governor".

Because the number of arcades is limited.

As a result, even the timing of the event has been changed. Originally, I naively thought that one day was just right, but when I found that it didn't work at all, I was forced to extend it to two days, then three days, four days, and finally there was really no way, the company simply extended it to a week and seven days at a time.

Moreover, for this, Kowloon Company even chose to pay the "lost time fee" for those who were stranded here to continue the game.

Of course, in order to make the event more impressive, Kowloon Games also plans to invite stars such as rock and roll, blues, and MC to be active every day in the past few days, and make as much noise as possible.

This can make game companies such as Atari and Fairchild in the United States feel complicated, and they can only say a few sour words in the newspaper, "quick success" and "waste and extravagance".

※※※

No matter how envious and jealous the game companies in the United States are, Kowloon Games has completely gained a firm foothold in the United States, and the event has been going smoothly and smoothly.

The purpose of the first three days of the competition is to reduce the number of players to 1,000, and in the rest of the time, among the 1,000 players, they will be eliminated to only 128 people, and the rest of the work should be the sixth day.

At the end of the sixth day.

The round of 32 will be decided, and finally the TV station will start broadcasting and interviewing the competition.

This has left many forgetful American gamers and viewers alike. Back to April and May this year, at the "Global Rubik's Cube Competition" during that period. It's a similar scene.

It is the Kowloon Company that plays everyone in the palm of their hands, everyone is their player, and it is also their long-term meal ticket, but it has changed from the Kowloon Toy Company to the current Kowloon Game Company.

Anyway, though. Kowloon Game Company, in fact, is majestic, earns enough people's hearts, and steals money, blame only them Americans, not American game and toy companies.

Every day, public opinion can't get around the Kowloon game.

On the last day, it will be the battle for the top 32 selected, and the final four-strong battle and championship showdown!!

There are more players who sign up for "Xiangjiang Cube" than "Contra" and "Mario", which is not to say that the latter has a higher technical content than the former, mainly because the latter two can only compare scores, although they can be played together, but there is no competition, and "Xiangjiang Cube" can be directly PK on the same screen.

But—

The most anticipated is not these three games, but Kowloon Games, the latest "Street Fighter"!!

In the past few months, Shigeru Miyamoto and others have not been idle and have nothing to do. You must know that they are game designers, and in the past six months, the factory has just kept making other games and game consoles, but it has never stopped designing and developing new games!!

Street Fighter is the new game that Xu Wenhui asked them to design, and this contest is not so much a famous Kowloon game company as a perfect marketing for the launch of a new game.

There will be no "Xiangjiang Cube" match on the first day of the tournament, and this tournament will only start tomorrow. Steve wasn't much interested, though.

Having said that, Street Fighter is Capcom's arcade product, and the Little Fighter game console is so broken that it is difficult to run this game.

In fact, if you want to run the classic games that Xu Wenhui has played perfectly, you will definitely not be able to.

Skill limitations, for example, are a headache.

But for now, the problem with Kowloon Games' large arcade machine is not the CPU, but the gaming motherboard. This is because large arcade machines have much higher requirements for motherboards than home machines.

And Kowloon games, including "Contra" and several other games, are all games that are already available on home consoles, and they have specially optimized them on arcades.

Street Fighter has broken a lot of technology in the past few months, and compared with the previous ones, the development time and energy are directly proportional to the results.

And the main theme of this tournament is Street Fighter, an arcade game.

Compared with islanders and Chinese, Americans actually prefer action games, especially sports games, so the sales of the later II have been higher than PS3 and Xbox 360 in Europe and the United States.

Soccer and basketball are two aspects that Americans like very much, but compared to the first two, Americans' favorite is actually rugby, and Miyamoto Shigeru and others are also adding arcade content in this regard.

But the main success and energy is still on Street Fighter.

Arcade machines are different from home consoles, and in terms of home consoles, it is definitely not possible to let players play games slowly like "Mario".

But the problem is that the arcade has to be cool, very cool, very cool. If it's dead all at once, it's over, then who will still play?

Intense.

Playful.

Moreover, it can't be too long.

"Street Fighter" became the first choice, because it is necessary to take care of the IQ of the current Americans, the game, the moves are not complicated, and then, the enemy is not too strong and not too weak.

Fools and smart people can play, and they still want to play when they play, and the most important thing that makes arcade machines different from home machines is that they care about the activity, pay attention to interactivity and playability.

Therefore, the highlight of this competition, "Street Fighter" is the trump card.

"It feels like it looks fantastic, and the graphics are great and smooth. There's no comparison to Atari. Steve sat in front of the huge arcade machine and was surprised.
