Every time we talk about arcade games, many game settings can make us pull all day, such as which level is the most difficult, which level has a small skill, which game hidden character is more powerful, etc., these are the basic knowledge of old players who open their mouths, in addition, there are many strange legends circulating in the arcade hall that have become a topic that everyone likes to discuss.
When you first come into contact with arcade games, there will always be a lot of self-proclaimed veteran players who enthusiastically come together to help us support, the most commonly heard sentence is "choose this, this is powerful" and if you really want to ask why choose the strong man in his mouth, it is estimated that few people can say one, two, three or four, but it is undeniable that in the arcade game of that year, there are indeed many characters who are often coaxed by players, the most classic example is "Dinosaur Kombat".
In the arcade hall of that year, almost 90% of the players would have a special love for mustafa, the "little yellow hat". Just because his running attack and AB kill move can effectively deal with enemies in the air or on the ground, and the damage is also very objective, the overall strength is undoubtedly the strongest of the four characters.
However, the other statement transformed from this rumor becomes mysterious, what chooses the protagonist will make the game more difficult, picking stones will also make the game more difficult, etc., although after many years of being debunked by players as nonsense, but at that time can always hear these statements from the mouth of the arcade "predecessors", a pass of ten to ten hundred, these unverifiable remarks have become the unwritten rules of "Dinosaur Kombat". However, in Capcom's other action game "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2", everyone turned the attack on the protagonist, the speed type martial general became no longer popular, and the best role returned to the main protagonist - Guan Yu, but there was a "tradition" that was still retained, that is, wearing a "hat".
Veteran players of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2" know that before the emergence of HACK versions such as "Three Sacred Swords", the first choice for us to stabilize the way to complete the level is to block the corners. This routine is most pronounced in multiplayer mode, where one player is responsible for blocking the corner, and the rest of the player throws the fish back into that corner, where they are mercilessly beaten by the card corner player.
Such an environment has led to some characters who can connect the pitching skills in the general attack to be more favored by the players, so that those Zhao Yun who do not have a high sense of blow, Zhang Fei who has a back fall will disrupt the rhythm, Huang Zhong, who cannot shoot at all, has become a vulnerable group in the game, and the strength type here Guan Yu has naturally become the most suitable candidate.
I thought that the status of the protagonist would rise again from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2", but in the same type of "Famous General", "Knight of the Round Table" and other games, the popular characters returned to the characters with higher agility, especially "Famous General", who is also a knife hand wearing a yellow hat.
Unlike the protagonist's unremarkable attack methods, the little yellow hat attack speed is fast, the attack distance is long, and the AB blood kill is a magic skill, these characteristic settings make the popularity of the knife hand far exceed the protagonist itself, becoming the most representative character of the game.
In fact, careful analysis, it is not difficult to find the reasons for this, the fire of these characters are due to the lack of the original Capcom design direction, want to let some characters have their own advantages and shortcomings, but unfortunately in that era when everyone is not having a clear understanding of the game balance, a little attention may build a game daddy role, and these roles are often not intended to develop in the direction of "all-round" protagonists, and finally circulated a mysterious statement. I wonder if you also used the hat-wearing characters mentioned in the article to pass the level? And what roles do you want to add?
