Bloody explained; "To put it simply, the so-called straight-line movement is advancement and retreat. Advance is to shorten the distance, and retreat is to widen the distance. Whether it is advance or retreat, its essence is to control the distance. To put it bluntly,
The so-called straight-line movement is actually just the control of straight-line distance.”
"Distance control" I thought about it and said: "Then what is the best distance control?"
"There is no so-called best distance control. Different people, different skills, and different weapons have different control distances." The Scarlet Enchantress thought for a while and then continued: "But no matter what kind of weapon or skill, it all has different control distances."
The same principle must be followed”
"It's a principle" I said curiously
"You can attack when you advance, you can defend when you retreat," said the Scarlet Enchantress: "This is the best control distance for straight-line movement."
"You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat." I then asked, "Can you be more specific?" I said as I put on the Searing Blade and asked, "For example, the weapon I use now is the Searing Blade.
Blade, the attack skill is [Ice Sword Qi]. In this case, how can we achieve the best distance to advance, attack, retreat and defend?"
"Then let's start with the killing range of [Ice Sword Qi]," the Scarlet Enchantress said: "The killing range of Ice Sword Qi is 6 meters. Once the skill is activated, it can form an attacking sword Qi that is 6 meters long. As for
The Searing Blade is 1.3 meters long. When the sword energy is activated, [Ice Sword Energy] will first shoot out from the edge of the Searing Blade, extending a length of 6 meters.
At this time, if you hold the Searing Blade and activate the Ice Sword Qi, the theoretically real effective attack range is 7.3 meters. According to the straight-line running principle of attacking further and defending by taking one step back, the optimal control distance should be 8.3 meters.
meter, the key to this is the extra 1 meter. Don’t underestimate this 1 centimeter. Its role is definitely not small. At this position, if the opponent wants to attack you, he must move forward at least 1 meter to hit you.
, and experienced masters can completely see through the opponent's intentions during the period when the opponent is approaching and respond accordingly.
If you have an advantage in speed, you can launch an attack while your opponent is approaching. In this way, your attack can theoretically hit the opponent first and disrupt the opponent's attack rhythm.
And if you can't take advantage of your own speed, you can retreat and distance yourself to ensure your own safety. Once the opponent's attack fails, you can take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack.
Generally speaking, no matter who it is, there will be a slight pause after completing an attack.
In martial arts, this brief gap is called a flaw
For example, the action of [Ice Sword Qi] is completed by swinging the sword with the right hand. After the right hand completes the chopping action from right to left, the long sword will bring out a bunch of sword Qi during the dance, and will
Drag an arc while moving
This arc supports the fan shape and spreads forward. When the long sword moves from the right to the left, the character completes the release action of [Ice Sword Qi]
At this time, the physical condition of the character should be that the right hand holding the sword is still on the left side of the body, and the long sword is also on the left side of the body.
This will expose the entire right shoulder. In the eyes of martial arts masters, this exposed right shoulder is an obvious flaw.
Under normal circumstances, after players in smart mode complete the action of releasing the Ice Sword Qi, the system will force and control the character's body to turn upright, and return the long sword and right hand that are on the left side of the body to their original positions.
This process takes about 0.5 seconds
However, experienced manual mode players can attack their opponents at this moment and successfully hit them.
"Ah! The loopholes in the smart mode are really so obvious!" I said in surprise.
"Yes, no matter what skill is used to attack in smart mode, there will be a 0.5 second character body correction process after the skill is released. For players in manual mode, this is simply the best living target. As long as they can see through and grasp it
Basically, catch one every second." He said in a deep voice.
I finally figured out why players in smart mode, especially those in the warrior series, are abused when they encounter masters in manual mode. It turns out that there is still such a loophole in the system.
"Of course, being able to see through does not mean that you can grasp it," Xue said: "With your current method of Ban Yue Zaiyun, if the opponent is within your effective attack range, you can attack the opponent's flaw immediately, but once the opponent is within your effective attack range,
Outside the attack range, you are beyond reach. To put it bluntly, you can only be regarded as a half-manual mode player!"
"Hey! He's only half a manual mode player." I lowered my head in frustration.
"Don't be too depressed. It's already amazing that you have achieved what you have now in less than 20 days," Lan Lan consoled her.
This makes me feel a little better
Xue Se just glanced at me lightly and continued: "The so-called master is actually not a very complicated thing. Just remember that in actual combat, try to minimize your own flaws and pay attention to the enemy's flaws. That's it.
!”
Bloody's explanations are clear and layered, making my previously clueless brain much clearer.
Seeing my sudden realization, I smiled lightly and continued: "Reduce your own weaknesses, grasp your opponent's weaknesses, and even force your opponent to reveal their weaknesses. In fact, all of this can be done through distance control, so
It is said that a good manual player must be proficient in distance control, especially straight-line distance control."
"It turns out that there is such a big truth in running in a straight line," I sighed.
"I have said this truth a lot just to tell you that straight-line running is the foundation of foundations. As long as the basics are well practiced, learning other skills in the future will be more effective." Lan Lan said with a smile: "Okay,
Sister, I think you should teach him some practical tricks to prevent him from knowing a little bit about it."
Well! Bloody also nodded slightly and said: "I think you have learned Ban Yue Cai Yun almost enough, so I will teach you the mantis footwork that matches Ban Yue Cai Yun."
"The mantis footwork sounds very similar to classical martial arts," I underestimated.
"This set of footwork was originally a fighting footwork handed down from ancient China. Although it is rarely spread in reality, it is a very common basic skill among some ancient aristocratic families, although it is not a very high spirit.
It takes a lot of effort, but it is the most suitable for you now.”
"Really" I am overjoyed
Bloody didn't waste any time, and directly drew his sword and said: "Come on, fight again. This time I will only use the mantis footwork. How much you can learn depends on your understanding."
I quickly drew my sword and stepped forward!
From the beginning, I rushed in front of Bloody, wanting to be the first to launch an attack.
But the blood color was just a series of small steps, and it bounced back like a spring, and my attack immediately failed.
At the same time that my attack failed, the bloody sword in my right hand suddenly stabbed out!
Whoosh! Amidst the sharp sound of the wind, the bloody figure who was still four meters away suddenly approached less than two meters in an instant, and the long sword thrust out suddenly pierced my right shoulder.
At this moment, I had just completed the action of chopping the sword, and I hadn't even had time to retract the sword. Although I could clearly see the piercing trajectory and landing of the sword, I couldn't block or dodge at all.
I could only watch helplessly as the sword got closer and closer, and finally swooped! There was a clear sound and it hit my right shoulder.
Damn, it’s like this again. I was so depressed that I almost vomited blood. But after learning the previous lessons, I was mentally prepared for this attack, so when I was hit by the sword in my shoulder,
I pulled out my long sword with my backhand and wanted to fight Xue Xi to exchange injuries for injuries. At least I couldn't let her take advantage of me in vain.
Unexpectedly, the long sword was less than halfway swung, and Xuehe quickly retreated, closing the distance in an instant. This made my intention of taking advantage of the situation to launch an attack in vain again.
Damn it! Why did she retreat so cleverly? She almost hit her.
Unwilling to give up, I continued to close in and attack again and again. At this time, I didn't think about defense at all. It's not that I didn't want to, but I knew very well that I couldn't defend at all. Now my only purpose is to stab the bloody body no matter what.
A sword can be said to be a rather small wish.
But even with such a small wish, Bloody still didn't give me any chance. Every time I approached and launched an attack, she could always easily avoid it. While avoiding it, she even launched a counterattack, catching me off guard.
In this battle, Bloody's dodge is no longer the weird and erratic dodging left and right, going around and around, but a very simple forward and backward movement.
Yes, she can only move forward or backward. Although it seems simple, she can always strike me with a sword every time she lunges forward. At this moment, her attack can really be described as lightning fast.
And every time she attacks no matter whether it is successful or not, she will float away and escape. As for the follower, I won't have any chance to fight back.
This tactic of retreating at the slightest touch and leaving after a slight touch gives me a headache. There is obviously a big living person standing in front of me, but I can't even touch a hair.
After two minutes, I found to my dismay that my blood volume had dropped to less than half, but she was still walking leisurely in the garden, with a calm and relaxed posture, showing her master's style.
It’s really crazy! Just a simple dodge back and forth has such a magical actual combat effect
At this point, I could see that any further fighting would be a waste of time, so I had no choice but to put away my sword and admit defeat: "If I don't fight, this isn't teaching. It's clearly a torture."
I'm a little aggrieved
"You're not as skilled as others, but you're still so confident. I'm really impressed by you," Xue Se said with a faint smile.
"Okay, I admit that I'm a bad guy, but you still want me to stab you with a sword. It's too much to catch even a hair from the beginning to the end;;;;;" I muttered.
Phew! Lan Lan, who was watching from the side, couldn't help laughing anymore and said: "Okay, you know what you are good at, so work hard to avoid being abused in the future."
I nodded dejectedly and then said with some confusion: "By the way, why is this step called the praying mantis step? I don't see what it has to do with the mantis at all!"
"The name Mantis is to highlight the speed characteristics of this set of footwork," Xue Xi explained: "The biggest feature of this set of footwork is that the legs always maintain a moderate bend while exerting force at any time. It feels like
The legs are equipped with springs, and this is very similar to the method used by mantises in nature to hunt for prey. In addition to the legs always maintaining moderate elasticity, so that they can bounce at any time, the sword is drawn out the moment it approaches the target.
What matters is speed. Just like the two blade arms of a mantis, they stab the opponent as quickly as possible in a ejection manner, and then retract the sword as quickly as possible. When the sword is retracted, it immediately ejects into the rain.
Retreat, these actions are combined to complete a round of attack and defense. Simply speaking, it can be divided into two steps.
1: Bounce towards the opponent in an instant burst and launch the fastest attack
Two: After attacking, retreat as quickly as possible to defend.
The whole process is the same as a mantis fighting for prey, so this set of steps is also called the mantis step."
"When you say that, it really feels like that." I couldn't help but think of the descriptions of mantises I had seen in the animal world. In the animal world, mantises are recognized as the best killers and fighting masters. It is said that its
The two blade arms are recognized as the fastest attacking weapons. It takes less than 0.1 seconds to extend and retract.
This kind of attack and retreat speed far exceeds human visual reflex nerves. If a boxer can have the same ability, then the fist he swings is a theoretical death punch. The so-called death punch cannot be seen.
Since the fist is invisible, it is impossible to guard against it.
It turns out that this is the principle of the mantis step. No wonder I couldn’t even touch the corners of her clothes from beginning to end.
But soon I thought of a new question: "There is another question, why can you avoid my attacks so skillfully every time and catch my flaws in time?" I thought for a while and then said:
"It stands to reason that my speed and your speed should be about the same."
"Actually, to be honest, it's just experience," Xue Se said calmly.
"Experience" I asked curiously: "What experience"
"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If the enemy wants to move, I will move first." Xue said
"I've heard of this before, but how can I make it so that when the enemy wants to move, I move first?" I asked shamelessly.
"Let me tell you a trick," Xue Xi said: "You should know that if a person wants to exercise, he must rely on his legs."
"Do you mean to observe the opponent's legs to determine his movement?" I hesitated.
"You are only half right," Xue said: "It is indeed a way to judge the opponent's movement by observing his legs, but it is not the best way, because some people move very fast. When you see his legs move,
It’s too late to react.”
"Ah! So that's it. No wonder I just saw your legs moving, but I still didn't have time to respond." I hesitated and said: "Since observing the legs doesn't work, then you have to observe where to judge the opponent in advance.
What about the movement intention?”
"The center of gravity, to be precise, is the bending of the knees." Bloody said in a deep voice: "Anyone who wants to move must first adjust the center of gravity, that is, bend the knees. For example, if you want to move forward, the person's body must lean forward and then bend.
The center of gravity of the knees is lowered. Only in this way can the action of accumulating force be completed. Therefore, by observing the bending degree of the opponent's knees, you can know his intention, whether to move forward or backward. As long as you predict in advance, you can take targeted countermeasures in time.
When the enemy wants to move, I will move first.”
"Ah! It's that simple," I said in disbelief.
"Otherwise, how difficult do you think it is?" Xue Xu said: "The so-called intensive tricks are actually just a layer of window paper. As long as it is broken a little, it's not a big deal."
";;;;;;;"
I was a little stupid for a moment! At this time, I also wanted to think about another secret that Xuehe had told me before, that is, look at the shoulders for the movements of the techniques. Now I know that the movements of the legs are based on the knees. It turns out that this is
The so-called secret?
Listening to your words is really better than reading ten years of books. If Blood hadn't mentioned these details, I would have been hard-pressed to understand them all my life.
"Although this is just a game, the principle is no different from reality." Xue Xi continued: "The monster settings in it are actually traceable before attacking or moving, so as long as you pay attention, you can advance in advance.
Make a prediction, and as long as the prediction is accurate, you will naturally be able to make the correct response with ease."
"I've learned a lesson," I bowed sincerely.
"Okay, that's basically it. How much you can understand and comprehend depends on your understanding and hard work," said Xue Se
