Chapter 1251: Basics of Combat Gas
Bao Xu paused for a mont and continued. “So professional terms in combat gas, such as ‘stand back’, ‘choose’, and so on, often emphasize not one thing but a very broad and very general concept. The strength of players is in their mastery and flexibility of these abilities.”
“For example, the concept of ‘return’ is very difficult to translate. It refers to all the movents you do before attacking the other party or defend against the other party’s attack. Whether you walk back and forth, restrict, or deceive others, you can be regarded as part of ‘stand back’.”
“In other words, the goal of setting up a stand back is to do everything possible to enter a situation that is beneficial to yourself and let the other party fall into a more unfavorable situation.”
“If you really can’t understand it, you can roughly understand it as the pre-prepared ability that includes consciousness and operations. It’s just like how you use frequent small positioning to deceive skills in MOBA gas and lead the enemy to a terrain that is beneficial to you.”
“Therefore, even though action gas like Repent and be Saved are also very torturous, its growth curve is relatively scientific. At the very most, it is a little difficult to play it. Once it is on the right track, it will gradually adapt.”
“On the other hand, combat gas are different. Their growth curve is very low, and their growth is very slow. What’s more, the upper limit is far away. During this process, it’s very difficult for you to accurately assess how much you’ve beco. It’s very likely that you’ll be tortured to death by a big boss.”
“Compared to action gas where the morisation can make you stronger, combat gas are not only limited to that or training the reaction speed and rubbing movents. It also requires a lot of targeted practice. Many tis, every movent has to be dismantled into a fra through muscle mory.”
“If we compare the figures, many players would be able to beco proficient in gas like Repent and be Saved after playing for 30 hours. They would beco veterans in 100 hours. If we add more ti, they would only be able to play quickly or kill the boss in seconds.”
“However, combat gas are different. 100 hours is normal. 1,000 hours might still be torturous. 3,000 hours or 5,000 hours might not be the limit.”
Yu Fei could not help but be dumbfounded. “5,000 hours…”
He did so simple calculations.
If he played daily and played for five hours on average, he would still have to play for three years.
If they played for an hour on average, it would take more than ten years.
Just thinking about it scared him.
There might be sothing like the ‘Ten Thousand Hour Law’ but it was a discussion about very complicated and profound professional fields.
Gas were different. Even if they were to squeeze out so much ti, it would always be boring and lose its fun. After all, they did not have the depth of a professional.
The key was that the improvent that many gas could obtain after playing for hundreds of hours was negligible.
Perhaps his ability had reached its limit, or perhaps the ga’s chanism was not supporting it.
MOBA gas and shooting gas also had characteristics that could be played again. However, even in shooting gas, they could at least be shot once or twice by big shots.
If it was a combat ga, it would probably be difficult to even move when facing a real big boss.
Bao Xu continued, “Therefore, there is a very important problem here. Fighting gas must have a certain heritage.”
“Those real big shots played for thousands of hours in all the combat gas because all combat gas actually had certain common points. The original experience could be used in new gas. They could get used to it quickly.”
“These people are the most loyal to fighting gas and are also the most picky.”
“If a combat ga conflicts with their existing experience, they would think that the ga is not good enough and would not play it at all.”
“Of course, from another perspective, this also saved us so ti in the design process: We don’t have to worry about them after knowing that certain traditions must be continued.”
“For example, the basic combat system, tricks, and other operations must not be greatly modified.”
Yu Fei nodded. He was more deeply aware of the mistake of his original idea.
For combat gars, rubbing moves had beco muscle mory and an instinctive reaction. In a flustered state during battle, rubbing a super kill every midnight was a skill that every combat gar had to master.
If all the hard work that he had put into training did not exist in Ghost General 2, why would he play it?
Therefore, since Ghost General 2 was a combat ga, it could not be forcefully modified in terms of basic combat. It could only be slightly modified on the basis of traditional classic combat gas. Any changes had to be done carefully.
Character designs, movents, moves, and so on could be changed, but the core could not be changed. The operation thod could not be changed.
The reason why the ga genre was strictly divided into action gas, crossover gas, and combat gas was because every ga had a very clear restriction that could not be confused.
Yu Fei thought for a mont and said, “Therefore, Ghost General 2 must continue the operation of the combat ga. The joystick must be able to accommodate movent, jumping, and rubbing. It cannot beco the operation thod of an action ga.”
Bao Xu nodded. “That’s right. That would damage the fun of combat gas fundantally. It would no longer be called a combat ga.”
He took a ga controller from Yu Fei’s table as he spoke.
“The regular ga controller has four zones on the front. They are the left right joystick, left functional zone (top, bottom, left, right), right functional zone (ABXY). However, in combat gas, there are only two zones that are really used.”
“Put your right thumb on ABXY. You don’t have to use the right joystick at all.”
“Use the cross key or left joystick on the left thumb. That depends on your personal habits. However, no matter which one you use, you don’t use the other.”
“On the other hand, the special controller for combat gas in the market directly canceled all the joysticks that were not needed and added two more keys to the A-BXY area.”
“The combat controller in your hand is a floating cross key, which is easy to use. On the left side of the controller that is similar to a large ga machine is a large joystick. The principle is the sa, but how to choose depends on your personal preferences.”
“However, no matter the difference in form, they have one thing in common: players’ hands can only care about two zones, and the functions of these two zones are very fixed.”
Bao Xu spoke in detail, and Yu Fei quickly understood.
The pace of the combat ga was too fast, so he could not spare ti to do anything else.
In action gas, players could let their left thumb leave the left joystick to press the cross button to use the prop. They could also let their right thumb stop to press the attack button or the tumbling button to adjust the perspective of the right joystick.
It might affect the original movents but there would not be any fatal consequences if they lost a few milliseconds after all. They just had to make ti to do it during the battle.
However, it was different for combat gas. That was because a mistake in a fraction of a second could be caught by the opponent and cause huge losses. Therefore, players could not take their hand out to press other keys.
Of course, the layout of the combat ga controller even appeared earlier than the main controller now, and much earlier.
Thus, the operation mode of combat gas and the shape of the controller were independent. Moreover, it was difficult to be completely compatible with the current mainstream controller thod.
He could use the mainstream controller to simulate the controller of the combat ga, but he could not design the gaplay of the combat ga according to the mainstream controller.
Yu Fei suddenly realized a problem. “Doesn’t that an that we can only walk back and forth on a flat surface? In fact, we can beco two-dinsional creatures?”
The cross keys of the combat ga were front and back movents, as well as jumps and squats.
That way, there would be no key to be responsible for moving horizontally to the left or right side of the screen.
Of course, this would not be a big problem if it was in other 2D combat gas. However, Boss Pei said that Ghost General 2 was a pure 3D ga. What’s more, the small soldiers might co from all directions!
If he wanted to hit the soldiers on the side, how could he?
Bao Xu said, “Actually, so combat gas have already solved this problem. The solution is to press the button twice. The effect is to move to the left, which is to move horizontally towards the screen.”
“Not only would it allow the character to dodge the opponent’s attack, but it would also make the entire image rotate and move.”
“Similarly, if you press the button twice in a row, it would be to the right side, which is to dodge out of the screen. The cara would also turn.”
“We can go one step further. We can continue to move horizontally through double-click and press, or use combination keys to complete the horizontal movent.”
This thod of operation was relatively scientific. In combat gas, single hits, double hits, and press were different operations. For example, after pressing the right key, it was movent. After the double hit, there was a fast rush of pressing.
Yu Fei nodded in realization. “I see. That ans that the operation itself can be completed, and there is a ready-made design plan.”
“However, it is still under the operating system of combat gas. Compared to other gas, especially action gas, it is two completely different systems.”
“In that case, we can actually not design much for the most basic combat system. It is mainly to continue the classic gaplay of combat gas. We can only fix so minor details.”
“Hmm… I’ve said so much and gained a certain amount. I’ve eliminated many impossible directions.”
“However, this is just a minesweeper. I have no idea how to do it.”
Bao Xu smiled and explained, “Of course, this is equivalent to building a foundation. Design gas are not sothing that can be done in a short ti. We have to repeatedly weigh the pros and cons and think about the details.”
“It’s just like building a building. This is a complete project. If you don’t handle it well in any area, the entire project might be affected. In serious cases, you might even have to start over.”
“Now that the foundation has been set, the next step is to perfect everything bit by bit.”
“As for the specific approach, it’s actually very simple. We’ll start from Boss Pei’s needs and analyze it bit by bit. We’ll first confirm a prototype and then slowly fill in the details.”
“I can’t help you too much in this process. You have to have enough ti to think independently.”
Yu Fei thought for a mont. “In that case, I have so ideas.”
“However, the combat system is still very difficult. Even if we have to follow other gas, the characters, skills, and movents have to be based on the settings of Ghost General. There’s no way to copy it.”
Bao Xu said, “That’s very simple. Since you’re not good at it, look for soone who is.”
“There are many champions in dostic combat gas competitions. Wouldn’t it be enough to spend so money to invite them as an action coach?”
“Boss Pei asked you to be in charge of the design of this ga, definitely not to fight to the death with these content. After all, this would require thousands of hours of ga experience.”
“You should change your direction and dig out the difference between yourself and others. You should find a breakthrough point from Boss Pei’s words and from there, complete the design of the entire ga bit by bit.”
