A game designer working at Marvel

Time passed quickly, and the summer vacation was not far away, but the three of them were still a little behind, so they decided to continue working during the summer vacation.

Finally, they produced The King of Fighters 2000 in August. After applying for the copyright, they had no sales and could only try to make a thousand CDs and then find some people who love fighting games and have a relatively large social circle. People, sell these discs to them for $40.

Of course, all the money for making the CD was paid by Fanny. After all, Edward and Mill were just two poor boys with no money at all.

The next thing they have to wait for is for The King of Fighters' reputation to explode. As long as this step is successful, they will be able to start selling King of Fighters CDs on a large scale.

Of course, it’s not just CDs. They also created a web page online with a link to The King of Fighters 2000. They also set the price of the computer digital version at $40.

Not only that, they also publish information about the King of Fighters on major forums to expand the influence of the King of Fighters.

Now Edward is not in a hurry, because the system determines the game's sales within six months from the game's release date, so he has to wait for the first half of the year to obtain the ability, and during this six months he has to think about the next game. what game.

He is not worried at all that the King of Fighters will attack the street, what a joke! Will the King of Fighters, who has passed the test of time in his previous life, rush to the streets?

But a month has passed. Although they have received some orders for King of Fighters CDs, they are still tepid. Sales on the computer side are slightly better, which is good news.

"Hey! Wallis, how about you come to my house after school today?"

In a high school in New York, a fat man found his friend after school, put his right hand on his shoulder, and the two of them walked towards the school gate.

"Uh... no, Roy. I still have some unresolved problems, I..."

This short boy is a bit timid when speaking.

"Hey! Those problems can be solved anytime. Let me tell you, I recently bought a new game! It's fun! If you don't come, you don't treat me as a friend!"

Wallis, who couldn't screw Roy, finally had to follow him to his home.

As soon as Wallis entered the door, he was pulled upstairs by Roy. Then he immediately opened his newly bought PS game console and took out a box from the bookcase with various characters painted on it. It should be a game disc.

Roy put the disc in, and then saw a rotating envelope appearing on the top of the screen. As the envelope fell to the center of the screen, some text appeared on the screen.

"weareopeningkingoffighter,follingthetiomthisyearwewilladoptaspecialrule,ofpetitionbetweenteamof3fightersthat`sall...[r]"

(Following ancient custom, we are holding a King of Fighters battle. This year we will have special rules of three fighters forming a team. Above...[r])

Then, the game entered the start interface, and the words "kingoffighters" came into view. Although this game seemed to have its own story, Roy did not play it. He directly chose to skip it.

Roy handed Wallis a handle, and then pulled him to start the two-player mode. Looking at everything in front of him, Wallis felt quite strange and at a loss.

Wallis, who was completely unfamiliar with this game, could only choose randomly on the character selection interface, but Roy was obviously confident and directly selected three characters that he was good at.

As the battle began, Wallis could only rub and press randomly on the handle. Although he also released some skills during the period, he had no idea how to release them.

The final result was obviously that he couldn't beat Roy at all. Then the proud Roy looked at Wallis's unsightly face and couldn't help but laugh.

Wallis turned to look at Roy, who was laughing, with displeasure written on his face.

"That...blame me, I forgot this is your first time playing. Come on, this is the King of Fighters' move list. It's for every character. Take a look."

In order to allow players to get started quickly, Edward directly compiled the moves of all characters into a book, and this move list is included in the CD and is a bonus.

He remembered that when he first played King of Fighters, he had to figure out all the moves by himself and didn't even know where to read the moves! To avoid trouble, just make a booklet and read it while typing.

Wallis took the move list that Roy handed him. Looking at the names of people, skill names, and the combination of direction keys and attack keys, Wallis once again looked at it with a look of "you decide." Roy.

"Well... look, the characters you just used are Athena Asamiya, Chen Guohan and K. Their moves are listed here, here and here."

Wallis then began to study the move list. After half an hour, he picked up the controller again.

"Come on, let's get started."

"okay!"

Roy started the two-player mode again. He chose Kusanagi Kyo, Iori Yagami and Sharmi. Wallis naturally chose Asamiya Athena, Chen Guohan and K this time. After all, he had memorized the moves of these three characters. .

Soon, the battle started again. Wallis controlled K and kicked Roy's Kusanagi Kyo away with a flying kick. As soon as Kusanagi Kyo got up, K's set of normal attack connection skills rushed in front of him and knocked him out again. Knocked to the ground.

"Well, what's wrong with you? Why are you so powerful all of a sudden?!"

Roy couldn't believe it. It was only half an hour. Why was there such a big difference? !

Wallis smiled, and then looked at Roy with a very unbeatable expression.

"This... is talent?"

"Oh no! I don't believe it! Watch me kill you!"

Then the two of them played more and more enthusiastically, and played for an entire afternoon. After returning home, Wallis's mind was filled with the fighting scenes in the King of Fighters game. The gorgeous skills and gorgeous fighting techniques deeply captured his attention. It is better than other games on the market today in terms of picture quality, combat feel, etc.!

The most important thing was that he wanted to know the story of the King of Fighters world, but unfortunately Roy didn't show it to him, which made him quite uncomfortable. So the next day he found Roy and wanted to know where he bought the game.

Wallis, who got the news from Roy, got Edward's phone number directly and called him.

Edward didn't think too much after receiving the order from Wallis. After all, many people did buy CDs during this period, but it was still not as high as he wanted, so he didn't think too much.

He has more important things to do now, which is to set up a company of his own.

Wallis, who finally got the CD three days later, took the CD to his cousin's house on the next street immediately after school. After talking to his cousin who was about to go to work in a bar, he turned on his PS game. machine.

He can't wait to experience the story of The King of Fighters 2000!
