“I don't think Nana needs to know so much about the shooter neighborhood, so I'll be brief.”
That's what Su-chan told me about "teaming".
Teaming seems to be the literal act of “teaming up”.
However, it does not refer to a team formed systematically in the game, but rather to a pseudo-team teaming up with a player who is supposed to be an enemy.
For example, in a batrois shooter, all enemies except yourself are usually enemies, but because they use the same characters and weapons, they sometimes feel familiar and play cooperatively with each other.
If you're just a minor character, you'll somehow get a sense of solidarity and have fun.
I'm not a batrois, but I know how it feels to have a girl with a weapon.
This kind of thing is basically called "familiarity", and it is not so minor as to be imputable in teaming. They say that there are people who actively aim and play because it is the flavor of a match game.
The problem is that teaming is considered “cheating” when it is really done in collusion rather than playing on the spot.
Not just Zero Wars in the first place, but most match games have ranked matches that compete for the leaderboard.
If you win a match or achieve a certain amount of results, you will receive points. The higher the points, the higher the ranking. They compete for the high ranking and prove their strength in the game.
Soo-chan has been ranked first in 12 consecutive seasons in Zero Wars VR, so she has achieved the best results in ranked matches for such a long time.
And here's how the cheating teaming goes.
First, prepare two or more players close to the leaderboard.
One of them is someone who wants to improve his ranking. And the rest are people who support him.
Start matching battles at exactly the same time in-game by sharing your starting position, character information, maneuvers, and signs.
This opponent's game is usually designed to throw matchmakers together at the same amount of time, so there is a chance that they will be able to participate in the same match.
The next dimension is to join the first plan and continue to gain advantage over other players with two or more pseudo-teams to increase the odds of winning the leaderboard.
Of course, you won't always succeed in every match, but if you succeed in a few matches, you can improve your ranking.
Incidentally, since the current explanation is a procedure for VR that makes it difficult for other tools to intervene, it is necessary to share the operation in advance. In order to prevent incitement, it seems that most opposing games can't send chats or calls to others, so it is necessary to share information before entering the virtual space.
However, it seems that the strategy meeting until the rendezvous is accurate because the top player is the one who knows what he wants to do if he sees his allies in action during the actual battle.
And if this is a consumer game or a PC game, it's even worse, and it's normal to use an external call tool to work together while playing.
Although the management has taken measures, it seems that it cannot be prevented by various means.
“After all, the primary reason for teaming misconduct is fairness. It may be hard for me to believe, but interpersonal shooter games are basically more gaming with a larger number of people. One teaming increases your chances of winning.”
I see ~
"Well, you just need to be aware that it's basically a hateful act. It's definitely not a good affirmation, but we're not talking about teaming right now."
Yeah, I got it.
That's what Su-chan said with all her strength.
According to Su-chan's explanation, I don't know what would happen if the teaming was actually found out, but I'm sure it would be terrible if it was found out.
If it's easy to understand and the penalty is tight, maybe the account will be suspended? Even though I've worked hard enough to get to the top of the ranking, I think it would be a penalty that would be too much if one wrongdoing would make my efforts falter.
“So, what exactly does it feel like to have a teaming eventually happen in the final round?”
I asked what I was particularly curious about as I put aside for a moment what was going to happen to the teaming and how it was done.
"That's right, specifically, the team that accepted the teammate used [...] [...] [...] [...] [...] [...] [...]"
"Hmm...... eh, that's all?"
"That's all."
When I saw Su-chan nodding naturally, I accidentally fell asleep.
Somehow, it was very simple for the prelude that I would be deliberately cheating, because it was a beating content.
What character do you think Nana is good at?
"Well, I've only been using Ritu for a long time, isn't that Ritu?"
“No, I can basically use all the characters present in Zero Wars VR with the same level of mastery. That's why I don't have any good characters."
"The point is, I'm good at everything." Because Nana can do anything, it's the same as saying that there is no sport she is good at. "
"I-I don't know the rules, I can't do sports..."
"Hah, I'll leave that to you."
It was a mess!
The excuse that appeared in the crotch was laughed at and flushed by Lin-chan.
"Nh, but you've been using Ritu ever since Su-chan practiced." I've seen a lot of videos of Su-chan as an enemy, but you've been using Ritu for the last few months, haven't you? "
"Yes, it's been a long time since I won twelve consecutive seasons. So the impression itself is not wrong, and I've been using it all the time to plant it.”
As far as I know, Su-chan only uses characters other than Ritu in videos from months ago, and in recent videos, there were no scenes where she used other characters at all.
That impression seemed to be correct, and Su-chan nodded in amazement at my doubts.
"I told you that you can handle all characters with the same level of skill, but that only brings out 100% of each character." A character with a high absolute value of ability, such as Ritu or Mei Tei (...) La (...) (a) (...), has a high win rate when drawing 100%. If you see that about 70% of the teams in the qualifiers have Ritu in their formation, and Meteora in about half of them, you can see the difference in character power, right? "
Well, I know that.
Ritu is a simple and strong character who pushes himself with buffs.
And the meteorite that is now appearing is an AA-specialized attacker character who, as the name suggests, summons meteors with instant death power from heaven.
Both are strong characters called Nikkei in Zero Wars VR, and are naturally very popular. Compared to the unpopularity of my sniper character Rufa, I can say it's about the difference between heaven and earth.
After all, Rufa was a sniper character. It was sad, but it was the only strong character that was popular.
“I'm definitely the strongest character when I'm using Ritu. And as you can see from the results of the last few months, I've only been using Ritu for a long time. That's why other teams naturally thought I would use Ritu.... on the other hand, if you don't use Ritu from the other team, you can just grill me."
"Oh, I see. If the whole team doesn't use Ritu, I can see that Ritu is in the field, so I can beat her up."
“That's right, it's hard to point out as a teammate if it just happens to be one match away from a squad formation. I think it's an interesting operation that combines self-protection and real benefits, although I'm a cost-effective hand.”
"Anyway, you're going to crush Su-chan." Certainly, it's difficult to beat the top group of players by ourselves ~ "
In Zero Wars VR, you can't have multiple identical characters on a team. So if all teams except ours don't use a character named Ritu, we'll be able to grill Ritu.
Of course, this was close to the Sword of the Blades. As Su-chan said, Ritu is a simple and powerful character, and removing her from the team is equivalent to weakening herself.
Still, if you can grill Su-chan, the change will come. I'm sure that's why I have such a plan.
"By the way, I think about seven out of eleven teams will go to teaming." Even for the rest of the team, Ritu's usage rate has dropped since the start of the battle, regardless of teaming. ”
"What do you mean? If you don't want to join the teaming, don't you think you should put it back in?"
“Every team wants to kill me, so I'll aim for Ritu as a priority. Regardless of whether the contents were mine or not, I could definitely concentrate on using Ritu. That's the kind of atmosphere that comes into being in the first place, without teaming. That's why I don't think you'll find out if you team up.”
"I see, you don't want to use it because you know you're going to concentrate."...... Sue-chan is so vigilant that she laughs at me. "
"I enjoy that more. Whatever your strategy, just coming to challenge me will dance your mind.... well, I'll crush them all."
"Oh, that's comforting."
Lin-chan muttered her smile as if she were someone else.
The loneliness of a powerful man may not be a big deal, but it's more than enough room for a king. Su-chan's strength was expressed by her calmness, which made her happy without being confused even though she was being targeted by various people.
"I think I've somehow figured out the explanation so far, but the liver of our operation in the final round..."
We don't use Ritu either, do we?
Yes!
If the opponent is going to take action by not using the character, we don't have to use it either.
Even if there is no teaming and this hand becomes a back eye, that's fine. Su-chan's eyes said that it was still herself who would win.
"Fufufu, now then, this is the operation conference in the final round." First of all..... "
Su-chan was in a very good mood and started talking about her plan for the final round with a bad smile on her face.
