Chapter 149
“His stats are lacking.”
At Falcon Eye’s comnt, Big Mouth imdiately asked back.
“Is there a specific reason you think so?”
A hint of curiosity laced his voice.
This was likely the type of insight Big Mouth expected from Falcon Eye in this collaboration.
Unlike viewers who only sought entertainnt, Big Mouth was soone who deconstructed and analyzed soone’s gaplay.
“Look here. See how Lee Suhyuk is taking several steps back?”
“Is he?”
“I’ll rewind the video a bit. Pay close attention to their foot positions.”
Falcon Eye slowly rewound the video so Big Mouth and the viewers could verify it. As they compared the positions from a few minutes ago to now, it was clear the foot positioning had changed.
-Oh, it’s true.
-He moved back bit by bit.
-How did he even notice that?
Falcon Eye’s observation was spot on.
Though it seed like the two were evenly matched, Lee Suhyuk was indeed being pushed back.
He couldn’t advance and instead took steps back, choosing to defend.
“It’s the expected outco. In fact, everything overall is lacking for Lee Suhyuk.”
-????
-Am I hearing this right?
-Dude…? What’s with you all of a sudden…?
-He’s totally selling out LOLOLOL
Falcon Eye’s explanation left the viewers perplexed. From the first review until now, Falcon Eye couldn’t praise Lee Suhyuk enough.
Although this went for other strears as well, Falcon Eye was different. He was originally more famous for his harsh critiques.
But now, for the first ti, he began to criticize Lee Suhyuk.
“C’mon guys, I need to point out the facts. Didn’t I say this before? I’ve never blindly praised him.”
-Yes sir!
-Indeed
-Yep, exactly~
Unfazed by the viewers’ teasing, Falcon Eye continued his review.
“First, let’s talk about weapon skills. This part is obvious. His opponent is Brynhild, right? The head of the Valkyries who’s been mastering weapons for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. How can anyone beat her with re control? Just being able to hold his ground is already impressive.”
Lee Suhyuk’s control hardly needed more praise. From the first stream, every gesture and weapon skill, not to ntion his mastery of lightning, was like a work of art.
“The issue lies with his stats. From what I see, Lee Suhyuk seed to be trying to conserve his lightning.”
“Why would he do that?”
Maybe it was because they were talking about lightning; Big Mouth, who had been quietly listening, suddenly showed heightened interest.
“It’s obvious. As everyone knows, using lightning consus a lot of stamina. He can’t keep fighting by firing off lightning continuously, right?”
“That’s true.”
“So, at first, he probably tried to fight while saving his energy.”
But the ensuing result was as shown on the video. Lee Suhyuk was gradually being pushed back, and then he increased his lightning output to subdue Brynhild.
“But that didn’t work. He used lightning bit by bit and eventually overwheld her with firepower.”
Boom-!
The mont lightning burst out from Lee Suhyuk’s sword, Falcon Eye paused the video.
“This fight is different from what Lee Suhyuk initially planned. That’s why I said it was disappointing.”
“So that’s why you ntioned his stats falling short.”
“Yes. In a way, it’s understandable. Given the speed at which Lee Suhyuk climbed the tower, he wouldn’t have invested ti in leveling up separately.”

『’Beating around the bush, but isn’t he just lacking skills?’』
“Not to that extent.”
Falcon Eye shook his head.
“Mastering lightning is also Lee Suhyuk’s skill. Actually, it’s his signature move that we all know well.”
Feeling that the stream had beco smoother, Falcon Eye grinned.
He resud the video and addressed the viewer who had just made the donation.
“You made a good point. That’s exactly what I was focusing on.”
-『Transformation Mode: Fanboy ON』
-『Fangirl Mode ON』
-『Guessing what’s next LOL It’s 』
Those who watched Lee Suhyuk’s livestream knew it.
They knew where the highlight of this stream would be.
It was a scene that every long-ti fan of Lee Suhyuk would rember.
“Right here!”
Clap-.
It was a scene of him looking up at a tall spire.
Falcon Eye paused the video and excitedly exclaid.
“Many will rember this scene. Everyone knows, right? The great battle between Panthera and Earth about 25 years ago.”
For those who might not rember, Falcon Eye played a prepared video.
“This is the first video you’ll see if you visit the Lee Suhyuk morial. It’s the battle where he stood on lightning and rained down lightning from the sky.”
“I rember it too. It was around that ti. Lee Suhyuk rose to a predominant position among players.”
“It was bound to happen. It was that shocking.”
Riding on lightning and soaring through the sky while dispensing lightning. Lee Suhyuk’s match back then was reminiscent of Zeus.
The match lasted only three minutes.
Players on Panthera’s side, whether fleeing or defending, couldn’t last three minutes and were annihilated.
“This is the interview from that ti with Lee Suhyuk.”
『Interview』
The art of riding on lightning.
Lee Suhyuk showcased this technique a few more tis afterwards, but none were as groundbreaking as during the Panthera match.
The reason was the sa as what he ntioned in the interview.
It was difficult and inefficient.
-If Lee Suhyuk himself says it’s difficult, OMG
-Officially confird: Difficult
-Fact: It is
Not everyone felt the sa, but many people held Lee Suhyuk’s words in high regard. People who wouldn’t have believed a strear saying it was difficult had no choice but to believe it if the real Lee Suhyuk said it.
『’SolidSolidGuy’ has donated 100 points.』
『But why is it difficult?』
This was the question that had been anticipated and awaited. Falcon Eye responded to the question, his face lighting up.
“That’s right, you might think that way! Obviously, flight skills are rare, but is it really sothing to make such a big fuss over?”
Skills related to flight were indeed rare. However, they weren’t so rare as to be extrely difficult to find.
From that perspective, Lee Suhyuk’s ability to fly might not have been that extraordinary.
However,
“But wasn’t it lightning in the first place, not a flight skill?”
-What are you talking about?
-OMG, that’s right.
-Bro, this just clicked for …
Half understood, and half didn’t.
Falcon Eye continued his explanation.
“So this is the deal. Let’s say you’ve mastered a fire-type skill. Can you use it as a ans of transportation? Or can you use a flight skill to attack with it?”
-Huh…?
-Of course not, haha!
-Is that even possible?
“Yeah, that’s it. Now do you get why Lee Suhyuk said it’s difficult? He’s using a skill of a completely different nature in a totally different way.”
Even as he spoke, Falcon Eye couldn’t understand it. If it was Lee Suhyuk, though, he could understand. He was the best among the players.
“There’s a saying in one of Falcon Eye’s videos.”
Big Mouth, who had been listening to the review, asked in an interested voice.
“If you look purely at talent, he’s better than the real one.”
“Yes, that’s what I said.”
“Do you still think the sa way?”
At Big Mouth’s question, Falcon Eye’s eyes twinkled for a mont.
With this one question, Falcon Eye could see why Big Mouth had beco the top issue-based strear.
He knew better than anyone what the public was interested in.
And in this content, what the public wanted was a comparison between Lee Suhyuk and another genius with the sa na, Lee Suhyuk.
“Of course.”
And one more thing.
“Do you think Lee Suhyuk, the strear, can perform well in the upcoming tournant?”
The tournant.
It was the fact that Lee Suhyuk the strear would participate in the great festival of players.
“It’s about ti for a general review.”
“A general review?”
“Yes. That question and the general review go together very well.”
With that, Falcon Eye stopped the video.
It was just after Suhyuk had ridden the lightning up, defeated the enemy, and rescued Viola.
『Right Hand of Bergelmir” has been released.』
It was the mont right as the highlight of the stream was about to start.
-OMG!
-I was enjoying that.
-Bro, are you crazy?
-The General Review Skipped
The viewers, who had been deeply engrossed in the video, naturally reacted against it. With the inclusion of Big Mouth, the number of viewers had exceeded 50,000.
“The full video can be watched on Lee Suhyuk’s streaming channel. There should also be an edited version.”
– I knew this would happen.
– Nah, not watching~
– Saying that, but will probably watch it like crazy, lol.
– I watched it live, haha.
The usual repertoire had beco predictable. Falcon Eye’s streams inherently had a promotional aspect for Lee Suhyuk’s channel. Viewers who hadn’t watched Lee Suhyuk’s channel would now be overwheld with curiosity.
For a while, the chat was flooded with complaints, but Falcon Eye didn’t bat an eyelash and began his final review.
“The performance in the Counter-Force Tournant is sothing no one can predict. Although the Counter-Force Tournant is a festival for all of us, the main stars are all rankers.”
Falcon Eye’s explanations were akin to the overwhelming wave of public opinion.
Rankers and non-rankers.
The two were often perceived as existing in completely different realms.
“Nevertheless, speaking as an original Lee Suhyuk specialist reviewer.”
– Lol
– So desperate, lol
– He seems bothered by it, lol
“His ability to control lightning is perfect. It’s unbelievably good. Expecting much more from his control would be unreasonable.”
It seed like he had prepared his statents in advance; Falcon Eye continued without any hesitation.
“It won’t look too shabby. Personally, I think Lee Suhyuk’s skills are on par with most rankers.”
Not too shabby.
Even that was considerable praise. No matter how talented he is, Lee Suhyuk had only just reached the 7th floor and was rely a semi-ranker.
However,
“Still, the physical stats are lacking, and that’s an unavoidable fact. Yes, I’m talking about the stats.”
The issue was, indeed, his stats.
For so reason, although he handled the physically taxing lightning with relative ease, Lee Suhyuk was significantly lacking in stats compared to other rankers.
“Of course, ti will resolve this. But not right now. Hence, I think he will end up sowhere in the middle. That’s my prediction.”
“But if…?”
Perhaps even Big Mouth found his hypothesis too far-fetched, as he hesitated slightly before asking.
“If he sohow overcos all this miraculously?”
“A miracle?”
“Yes. Miracles sotis happen, don’t they?”
For a mont, Falcon Eye instinctively wanted to respond that such a thing would never happen but stopped himself.
Under normal circumstances, he would say that, but it didn’t feel appropriate now.
Sowhere in a corner of his mind, a very small, almost imperceptible shimr of that miracle seed to flicker.
‘A miracle…’
There was one reason.
Because he was Lee Suhyuk.
“If that miracle does happen…”
On second thought, his very existence was a miracle.
He had always shown such perfect performance that it made one wonder if he were the reincarnation of Lee Suhyuk.
If he were to. Truly overco his only weakness.
“Then we should no longer call him ‘Fake Suhyuk.’”
Then, the preliminaries wouldn’t be a concern anymore.
