Unspecialized characters had many skills, which gave them a huge advantage when comboing attacks. No class could have so many short cooldown skills. Even though the damage of these skills couldn't compare to high level skills, if they could successfully combo together, it could make up for the lack of damage. Of course, this also made the controls more complicated.
If it were an unspecialized character, it might take several or even more controls to combo out a long chain of skills. Moreover, there couldn't be any mistakes in between. Unspecialized characters were actually quite a difficult class.
But for Ye Xiu, who had immersed himself in Glory for ten years, everything became as precise as a machine.
But his opponent was Yu Wenzhou. Even though he wasn't a top God-level player, he was still an absolute expert in the pro scene. Only Tang Rou or Poplar Beach would be able to kill him in one combo.
Yu Wenzhou still found an opportunity amidst the forceful suppression.
With one control, a cold light flashed. Flowing Tree unsheathed a Sword Draw. Sword qi drew an arc towards Lord Grim.
Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella shook. The umbrella turned into a spear and used Dragon's Teeth to attack Flowing Tree.
Two streaks of blood flew out at almost the same time. Flowing Tree was stabbed by Dragon's Teeth, while Lord Grim was also injured by the sword qi.
The characters that were hit by Dragon Tooth were stunned for a moment, while the characters that were hit by Sword Draw were sent flying. Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella turned back into a spear. The tip of the umbrella spat out a tongue of flame. It was an Anti-Tank Missile. In the air, he flicked his gun and three Anti-Tank Missiles shot out in a triangle. After the explosions, Flowing Tree was completely engulfed in flames.
Lord Grim, who had landed on the ground, Quick Recovered and stood up. His hands didn't stop firing as he once again closed in on Flowing Tree. Even though Flowing Tree's Sword Draw dealt damage to Lord Grim, it didn't interrupt his offensive. Ye Xiu made some adjustments and a new offensive followed.
The situation hadn't changed in the slightest. Yu Wenzhou had seized the opportunity to interrupt him many times. But a temporary pause wasn't enough to regain control of the situation. Ye Xiu's side was always able to adapt to Yu Wenzhou's attacks, ensuring the continuity of their attacks.
The number of combos didn't seem to be long, but the restriction and suppression effect of the attacks couldn't be ignored. Moreover, many of the attacks actually hit the target. However, these attacks weren't considered as combos by the system, so they weren't counted.
The system didn't recognize this type of attack, but it could form a continuous attack in actual combat. Players called it a "false combo". In actual combat, there were many places where false combos could be formed. False combos could be avoided according to the system's judgment. However, players were unable to reach the theoretical precision of the system's judgement. Sometimes, due to some subjective reasons, they would be helpless against certain attacks. False combos were created under such conditions.
In this match, even though Yu Wenzhou wasn't as helpless as Tang Rou or Poplar Beach, he still struggled to get through it. But even in this kind of situation, the two were still multitasking, fighting while chatting. If it was a normal spectator, they definitely wouldn't believe that such a high level battle could occur while chatting so passionately.
In the end, the airborne Flowing Tree was sent flying by Lord Grim's Falling Flower Palm, followed by a Sword Draw. Flowing Tree's last sliver of health was depleted. In the end, he still lost.
"You win." Yu Wenzhou said.
"That's normal." Ye Xiu laughed.
"The advantage of an unspecialized character is very clear. Plus, you have such a miraculous weapon. However, as your level increases, the unspecialized character's space will continue to shrink. "Yu Wenzhou said.
"Hm … … What do you think the limit is?" Ye Xiu asked.
"To be honest, I don't think there's any point in discussing unspecialized characters. The conditions for playing well are too harsh. First of all, if you don't have a weapon like the one in your hand, there's nothing to worry about. And second of all, only you can fully display the advantages of an unspecialized character. This special class only has meaning if you have these special conditions. "Yu Wenzhou said.
"Right now, you already have all of them." Ye Xiu said.
"With the conditions you have, I think that at Level 70, the advantages of an unspecialized character's complex playstyle will outweigh its weakness of not having any high damage skills. Note that this is only limited to when you have this weapon and when you're using it! Assuming that Glory can maintain a perfect balance like it is now at Level 70. At Level 95, even if it's you, an unspecialized character, will no longer have any value. "Yu Wenzhou said.
"Oh, that's what I thought. What a pity!" Ye Xiu sighed.
"If it had been a bit earlier, in the era of Level 50, your unspecialized character would have been very strong. It would have been a bug." Yu Wenzhou said.
"It's not too late now." Ye Xiu said.
"But … … after this season, Glory hasn't increased its level cap in three years." Yu Wenzhou said.
"Hm … … Maybe soon." Ye Xiu said.
"Level 75? Level 80 … … for an unspecialized character, which doesn't have any growth in skills, it's a nerf. "Yu Wenzhou said.
"But at least it's still within an acceptable range. Do you think I'll be able to play until the day I reach Level 95?" Ye Xiu said.
"If you're just playing in the tenth server like this, what's wrong with that?" Yu Wenzhou laughed.
"Oh, you're right." Ye Xiu also laughed.
"Do you want another round?" Yu Wenzhou asked.
"No need. I won't let you see my strength clearly." Ye Xiu said.
"You didn't use your full strength?" Yu Wenzhou asked.
"Of course. I'm an old man. I need to take care of myself." Ye Xiu said.
"Then let's leave it at that!" Yu Wenzhou laughed and left the arena. After the two characters bumped into each other outside the Arena, Ye Xiu said goodbye and let Lord Grim leave.
"How was it?" Yu Wenzhou turned his head and asked Huang Shaotian behind him.
"A total of 21 false combos." Huang Shaotian said.
"He knows my weaknesses very well." Yu Wenzhou said. Hand speed. This was Yu Wenzhou's fatal weakness. As a result, in this type of confrontation, because his hand speed couldn't keep up with his movements, his character's movements would be half a beat slower. In the end, he wouldn't be able to dodge the attacks that he could have dodged. In the end, he would be hit by the opponent, creating false combos.
"Yeah." Huang Shaotian nodded his head and replied, "He knows the weaknesses of every opponent in the Alliance. If he was fighting against me, he wouldn't have used so many false combos."
"If he wasn't an unspecialized, he wouldn't have been able to create so many false combos." Yu Wenzhou said, "If it was you, in the same situation, how many of those 21 false combos could you have dodged?"
Huang Shaotian was suddenly startled.
"Look at the recording again!" Yu Wenzhou stood up and patted Huang Shaotian, "An unspecialized's complex and ever-changing playstyle will ultimately result in a constant stream of false combos … …"
Yu Wenzhou left. Huang Shaotian sat in front of his computer and logged out of the game. He opened the recording and downloaded the recording of Yu Wenzhou and Ye Xiu's fight.
21 false combos. How many could he have dodged?
When he was watching the fight, Huang Shaotian really hadn't had time to consider this question. The two of them fought at an extremely fast pace. Huang Shaotian basically didn't have time to think about it. Now that he was looking at the recording again, Huang Shaotian put himself in the shoes of the character and began to replay the match.
If it had been him, this place definitely wouldn't have been like this … …
The first thing he felt was the difference between him and Yu Wenzhou. There were a few places where Huang Shaotian might have had better methods to deal with. Even though he might not have been able to win against an unspecialized, he could at least have played more beautifully than Yu Wenzhou.
But, these 21 false combos … …
When Huang Shaotian counted them one by one, sweat began to form on his forehead.
21 false combos. If Yu Wenzhou had been fighting against him, he might not have been able to use them like this. But, when he put himself in the shoes of the opponent, Huang Shaotian realized that out of these 21 false combos, he was only confident in dodging 4 of them.
4 times!!
This was something Huang Shaotian definitely hadn't expected.
The difference in hand speed between him and Yu Wenzhou was quite large. Huang Shaotian thought that these false combos were given to Yu Wenzhou to take advantage of Yu Wenzhou's inability to keep up. But now that he looked at them carefully, he realized that these 21 false combos weren't as simple as just targeting Yu Wenzhou's hand speed.
Huang Shaotian turned back and carefully looked at it again.
F * ck!
After looking at it, Huang Shaotian couldn't help but curse.
3 times!
He should have been able to dodge 3 times. He had even misjudged that one time. It was easy for him to dodge that false combo from his current perspective. But in an actual battle, Flowing Tree's view had been turned away from Lord Grim. That attack had been a 100% sneak attack. That attack had predicted Flowing Tree's movements. Even if it hadn't hit, there would have been many follow-up moves. It was definitely a false combo that couldn't be dodged no matter how high one's hand speed was.
He, who had always been known for his judgement, had actually misjudged it. It could be seen just how deceptive and hidden the false combo was. But against an opponent like Yu Wenzhou, who had such an obvious weakness in hand speed, there was no need to use such a complicated strategy.
How much of this strategy was this guy hiding?
Huang Shaotian thought to himself and felt a chill in his heart. He looked through the recording again and carefully studied Lord Grim's strategy. He wanted to carefully analyze just how much danger was hidden within.
But then, he discovered a terrifying fact.
Even a god-level player like him lacked experience in dealing with Lord Grim's false combos.
Falling Flower Palm followed by Sword Draw … …
This wasn't a false combo. But when had this kind of combo ever appeared in a 1v1 match?
Lord Grim's many combos and false combos weren't so much combos as combos, but rather combinations.
This was a combination of multiple classes and characters. But right now, he was using it all by himself. Huang Shaotian felt more and more like this as he watched the match.
Flowing Tree's opponent wasn't one person, but two, three … … or perhaps even more, but he couldn't see that in this match. Because … … his opponents weren't using their full strength!
