Chapter 88 : Do You Like My Instant Charge Fireballs?
"You want to abandon the joystick?"
Gerald's brows furrowed slightly.
Such a decision was somewhat of an overcorrection.
The joystick certainly had its flaws, but it was also an important reliance for the feel of fighting games.
It was no exaggeration to say that in today's world where Street Fighter was so popular, the joystick had become an important symbol of the arcade.
W̊е̄b̀ n о̆ vе̄ l̀ Е̊n̈ũ m̃ ӑ
It had become a part of arcade culture.
As the earliest advocate of the joystick plus action buttons input model, GAMENOVA had also indirectly accumulated its own influence in this regard.

But now Lin Lixin actually wanted to abandon it and return to the era of all buttons.
"Isn't this taking a step backward in technology?"
"Not at all, not at all."
Lin Lixin did not explain much. He went straight to the workbench, casually picked up a joystick control board, and started soldering.
Ẁ ѐ.bn̄ о̄vе̄ l̆ Én̊ ũm å
He removed the joystick and replaced it with four large buttons of the same size as arcade buttons.
Then, he quickly sawed out the corresponding holes on the wooden casing and secured them in place.
But seeing the layout scheme Lin Lixin designed, both Gerald and Vivian twitched their eyelids.
The three directional buttons for left, down, and right were placed horizontally in a slight curve, while the up button was actually moved directly to the bottom right.

Gerald had seen this bizarre horizontal layout before, but it was usually used on PCs.
From Gerald's own experience, the horizontal layout was far inferior to the cross shape.
Е n ů m а̌
Especially intuitively, the cross shape perfectly matched human cognitive instincts.
This was also the reason why he strongly advocated adding a split D-pad to the NovaPocket.
Thinking of this, Gerald's eyes suddenly lit up.
He hurriedly went to the equipment room and rummaged around, finding a rather elegant keyboard from a pile of various models.
"Lin, look at this, the IBM Model M mechanical keyboard."
Gerald placed it on the table and motioned for Lin Lixin to look over.

The Model M, a product that only officially went into production in mid-1985, was at least for this era the best keyboard in the world.
But Gerald did not intend to show off its excellence in industrial design; instead, he pointed to the directional keys next to the numpad.
The inverted-T directional key layout referenced from the DEC LK201 layout.
"I think if it is for playing games, this layout is also very excellent. We can use the index and ring fingers to control left and right, and the middle finger to control up and down. I have tried it, and the feel is really quite good."
"Model M?"
Lin Lixin raised an eyebrow, looking at this keyboard whose layout was almost identical to the keyboards of later generations.
Е̄ṅ ûm̈а
Especially that standard directional key distribution. It could be said that the unified control feel of video games in later generations, and even the WASD input rules, were inseparable from this layout.
"This scheme is indeed very excellent, but it is not suitable for fighting games."

Lin Lixin directly placed both hands on the simple Hitbox he had just cobbled together. "The inverted-T directional key layout cannot press the up and down keys simultaneously like this."
He gestured a bit. Whether it was the left hand or the right hand, the thumb could easily press the up button.
But his words, instead of dispelling their doubts, became even more abstract.
"Pressing up and down at the same time? What is the use of that?"
Èǹ ü mа
Lin Lixin chuckled and said, "This is Guile's exclusive weapon."
"Huh?"
"Simply put, it is a mechanic born specifically for fighting game players, and even specifically for charge characters. I call it SOCD technology."
He went to the whiteboard and wrote down a long string of words.

Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions.
"We only need to input a specific rule into the control chip to handle what to do when opposing directions are pressed simultaneously.
Еn um̃ a. іd
For example, we can make it so that pressing up and down simultaneously is judged as neutral, or simply use last-input priority, meaning whichever is pressed later takes precedence.
Forget it, saying too much will only make it harder to understand. I will just write the SOCD before Sam comes back."
How could he not let his classmate Sam be the first to experience such a fun thing?
When Sam pushed the door open and walked in carrying a mess of documents, he saw the few of them welcoming him with a bizarre enthusiasm.
Especially Lin Lixin, who was holding a keyboard that had clearly just been rushed out, smiling as he put an arm around him and walked toward the television.
"Sam! Come, come, come, let's have a Guile PK match."

"Ah? Playing Street Fighter? I thought the new demo for The King of Fighters was out."
Given how familiar Sam was with Lin Lixin, he knew exactly what kind of tricks he was up to the moment he moved.
Just seeing his smiling face, Sam knew this guy was definitely up to no good.
He was probably secretly practicing some cheap moves to bully him!
"Lin, if you think you can beat me just by picking Guile too, you are overthinking it."
Having spent all day in the arcade, he was far from the little newbie he used to be.
Е n úm а. іd
After playing against all the experts in the store up to now, he had practiced and grasped concepts like whiff punishing and guaranteed punishes to some extent.
If Lin Lixin still thought he was that rookie who only knew how to throw fireballs and use Dragon Punches, he was going to suffer.

"Shooting!"
Almost at the exact moment the match officially began, the two of them threw out a Sonic Boom in perfect synchronization.
"Hmm?"
Watching the two projectiles cancel each other out in the air, Sam was slightly taken aback.
En̂ u m̈ă
No wonder he suddenly wanted to challenge him; it turned out he had also joined the Shooting cult.
"Alright then, if you throw fireballs, I will throw fireballs too."
With the mindset of no rush, I will play along with him, Sam simply prepared to throw another Sonic Boom.
But just as he pulled back to charge, Lin Lixin's movements were a whole cycle faster than his, and the second Sonic Boom had already been fired.

"?"
Having played Guile his whole life, he ended up getting beaten by Guile.
Е̊n̊ũ ḿ å
His fireball throwing speed actually could not keep up with Lin Lixin, who was used to playing high-speed characters?
Sam had to hurriedly push the joystick forward to throw one out, then quickly pull back to charge again.
But in just these few short breaths, Lin Lixin had already thrown out two Sonic Booms in a row.
"Bro? What is going on?"
Helpless, Sam could only rely on blocking to eat a few fireballs, glancing sideways at Lin Lixin's side.
Only then did he notice the peculiarity of the device in his hands.

Lin Lixin was not using a joystick, but instead used a bunch of buttons to replace the directional inputs of the joystick.
But the most outrageous thing was that Lin Lixin did not have the high-speed operations he imagined at all.
He simply held down the back directional button firmly with one finger, and then mechanically and continuously tapped the forward directional button and punch.
With every tap, the Guile he controlled would throw out a Sonic Boom.
He did not need to pull back to charge like he did at all; the moment it was released, it had already started charging!
"Fuck! I knew you were up to no good, you are actually using a cheat to fight me!"
Еn̄ ǔm̂ а̇
Now he understood.
It turned out Lin Lixin had cobbled together a one-button special move cheat for himself.

Wasn't this a paradise for charge characters?
"If you have the guts, don't play a charge character. Let's PK with Fei Long."
"Okay, fine," Lin Lixin did not mind at all, gently reaching out and flipping a small switch on the top left of the Hitbox.
The gear was adjusted from L to N.
