Chapter 881: December 20th: 【Sudden】 Tsuchinoko Kumite Dojo Live Commentary Part 4 【How Many Beaten?】

Author's Preface

During my one-week trip to France, I got food poisoning from raw meat that severely burned itself into my memory, where essentially nothing but water kept coming out of my bottom. Seriously, everyone, bring a portable washlet when you travel abroad.

Thank you, Fuji-sensei...... Seirogan, truly, thank you...... [*1]

Honestly, I wish every player who goes "I practice martial arts IRL, so if I get serious, I'm stronger than you guys, you know?" would just get banned, so I want to send my praises to Tsuchinoko-san for turning that Whatever-the-hell-style swordsman into a honeycomb with full-auto.

217: Anonymous Pioneer

I was rewatching that fight against the assassin guy just now, but I still don't get how he broke through Blackout. He had some kind of skill applied to his eyes, but his vision should've been sealed, right?

218: Anonymous Pioneer

Tsuchinoko is too strong. Is he not a Tsuchinoko but a King Cobra?

219: Anonymous Pioneer

I always thought Tsuchinoko-san specialized in anti-monster combat, but he's stupidly strong in PvP, too.

220: Anonymous Pioneer

A kendo guy I know is playing a full-blown magic class.

He said, "How is whacking a person's head gonna help against a dragon?"

He's got a point.

221: Anonymous Pioneer

It's amazing how he can fight normally no matter what weapon he uses.

Even with motion assist, there are plenty of times it just doesn't hit in PvP.

222: Anonymous Pioneer

He uses a gun like it's completely natural, but he's also strong bare-handed. Isn't that too unfair?

223: Anonymous Pioneer

>>217

I feel you.

224: Anonymous Pioneer

It's cheating how he can move like magic even though he's purely specialized in physical attacks.

225: Anonymous Pioneer

The way he occasionally pulls off movements that cast aside humanity shows his specs are maxed out.

Hardcore players are scary.

226: Anonymous Pioneer

So the completed form of a light warrior runs at the speed of light?

That's ridiculous.

227: Anonymous Pioneer

I'm starting to suspect he's cheating with how his stamina never runs out.

228: Anonymous Pioneer

It's cute how bad he is at talking; he has no intention of doing commentary.

229: Anonymous Pioneer

The person who made it so the maid outfit converts into a miniskirt can only be thought of as a super-dreadnought-class pervert.

Please mass-produce it and make it mandatory for all female players to equip it.

230: Anonymous Pioneer

More importantly, how many commentary threads are up for Tsuchinoko-san right now?

There's at least four.

231: Anonymous Pioneer

The PvP thread is a pandemonium right now, too.

It's hilarious seeing the "Assassin Build is the Strongest" advocates losing their minds.

232: Anonymous Pioneer

If a guy only has a katana, you can win by shooting him with a gun, which is true, but it's too harsh a reality.

233: Anonymous Pioneer

I mean, him being too fast to hit is bullshit, isn't it?

He's invincible.

234: Anonymous Pioneer

Someone challenge him with a counter shield.

No matter how you think about it, that would checkmate Tsuchinoko-san, right?

235: Anonymous Pioneer

Being able to lose your mind is better.

The PvP light warriors are basically at a funeral right now, knowing they'll be compared to the light-speed maid outfit for the rest of their lives.

236: Anonymous Pioneer

Isn't the balance broken, as expected?

237: Anonymous Pioneer

Honestly, it's only his movement that's too fast, so I get the feeling he'd go down easily if you stun him the moment he attacks and beat him to a pulp...

The problem is that he has an absurdly rich variety of long-range attack methods.

238: Anonymous Pioneer

That circling skill is way too strong. As long as it's a circular orbit, any angle works?

239: Anonymous Pioneer

He's too terrible at commentary.

He literally just turned on the stream and left it running.

240: Anonymous Pioneer

I was thinking, "But what I want to see is Saina-chan," but somehow it came full circle and is genuinely entertaining now.

241: Anonymous Pioneer

Focusing his aim specifically on the Ritual Spirit Sword is too brutal; what an inhumane tactic.

242: Anonymous Pioneer

His main is probably swords and hand-to-hand combat, but it's true that if you have a gun with good specs, you can cover long range even without skills.

243: Anonymous Pioneer

Swordsmen and martial artists getting sunk by full-auto fire is just brutal.

244: Anonymous Pioneer

He knows exactly what a Mystic Sword hates having done to it the most, so he really is a PvP player, huh.

245: Anonymous Pioneer

I mean, it's that, right? He's simply good at games.

There's no hesitation in his skill usage or how he manages his time and movements while his buffs are active.

246: Anonymous Pioneer

This guy is insanely good at recovering his stamina.

It's probably partly due to him using buff skills, but he's properly storing stamina at the timings when it's okay to rest, so at a glance, it looks like he's constantly moving.

247: Anonymous Pioneer

How many people has he beaten so far?

248: Anonymous Pioneer

Does he have Sylvia Goldberg installed in him or something? Or maybe Uomi Kei.

249: Anonymous Pioneer

If you can move to this extent, it'd definitely be too much of a God Game.

250: Anonymous Pioneer

Whittling down their stamina with gunfire, shaving off their HP all at once with strikes, and even if they endure it, following up with a gun... It's too much of a sure-kill combo.

251: Anonymous Pioneer

What's terrible is that it's just one of his tactics.

252: Anonymous Pioneer

He probably shaved off most of his attack-type skills to rely on weapon specs for firepower, so the fact that he isn't bound to one weapon makes a lot of sense.

It's like scales falling from my eyes, an idea I really couldn't come up with.

253: Anonymous Pioneer

It's crazy that he doesn't trip while doing that.

254: Anonymous Pioneer

His answer to the assassin tactic of sealing vision, smell, and touch with Blackout to aim for vitals from behind being "I won't miss my attacks and I'll just blow the Blackout away with wind, so no problem" is way too much of a brute-force solution.

255: Anonymous Pioneer

I mean, despite having specs that seem completely specialized in dodging, the way he occasionally deals with things using parries makes it an impossible game.

Unless it's a complete surprise attack, it won't hit.

256: Anonymous Pioneer

The field with no obstacles and the "ready, go" kumite format synergize terrifyingly well for him.

Going on a rampage in an advantageous situation from the very start is definitely unfair, right?

257: Anonymous Pioneer

Who's next? That's some elaborate equipment.

258: Anonymous Pioneer

A flat field with no obstacles and a kumite format starting with "ready, go" is an advantageous situation for pretty much anyone except assassin builds.

259: Anonymous Pioneer

Tsuchinoko-san is too fast, so I want him to give a handicap and wait five seconds before fighting.

260: Anonymous Pioneer

It's Garunose.

261: Anonymous Pioneer

The next opponent is Garunose!?

262: Anonymous Pioneer

Wasn't Garunose that hardcore PvP player from LonFu?

263: Anonymous Pioneer

Garunose vs Tsuchinoko-san is a big match. I'm gonna log in for a bit.

264: Anonymous Pioneer

An absolute monster holding the 100-win streak crown in Lone Wolf coming to ShanFro is so hype.

And he's using a TawashiTower-Shield build, too.

265: Anonymous Pioneer

Garunoseee! Please beat Tsuchinoko-san!

266: Anonymous Pioneer

For someone with hardcore PvP experience in Lone Wolf like me, the trauma of getting repeatedly rolled over by Garunose's aggressive tank tactics is coming back.

267: Anonymous Pioneer

Garunose looks like he's in serious gear, was he aiming for this?

268: Anonymous Pioneer

>>266

The grasshopper lancer is bouncing around, I see.

Author's Afterword

・Grasshopper Lancer

A tactic that ran rampant in the PvP environment of Lone Wolf.

Due to there being a brief window of invincibility right after jumping, and the fast execution of a downward thrust from mid-air using spear-type weapons, it was said that "you can win even going second just by sloppily jumping and stabbing."

Volume 14 of the Shangri-La Frontier manga adaptation is now on sale!!
