Manners Maketh the Game Part 2

It's much bigger than the last time we were here. Did they renovate the building or something?

Seriously. Whoa, they brought in the newest Space Cat machine!

Yuzu, there is the new console display!

Whoa... Finally, the fifteenth generation of consoles is here...

Let's see... They added a new cooling mechanism on the side. That will definitely improve the problem that the previous gen had.

Not only that, the response rate is much faster now, thanks to this high-end gaming memory...

Haha... Yuzu always gets so excited about gaming stuff.

Let's go play Space Cat, Sis!

Okay! But I won't go easy on you, so brace your...

...Wait, this isn't what we came here for!

Did everyone forget why we're here? We have to find that toxic player right now!

Actually, I came to buy a new controller.

We have a lot of monsters to slay, Momoi. Which game should we play first?

I'd much rather just stay here and look at the new console than fight someone...

No! Even at this very moment, that player might be trash talking others!

If they keep doing so, and more and more people do the same...there might not be a single fighting game player left!

Aren't you being a little too pessimistic there?

This is a sacred battle to save the world...

Heroes, it is high time that we head to the demon lord's den!

Right, let's hurry to the section where the Student Fighter 2 machine is!

There aren't as many people here as I expected. Maybe the guy already left?

No, there's no way. Check the IDs on the screens.

Hmm... It's not this player...

Not this player, either...

Yahoo, another win! I'm on a winning streak!

Ugh, I lost again...even though I used my secret move!

You mean that clunky combo was your secret move? Are you serious?

My grandma is better than you!

What? It's just a game! You can't say stuff like that!

Take that back!

Why should I? You're a moron who can't even play the game right!

Ugh. I'm gonna tell my mom!

Yikes...I can't believe that there's a player out there who'd trash talk in real life like that.

I found it! The same ID I saw earlier!

Hmm? What, you guys want to challenge me too?

You're Sukeban312, right? You're the one who called me a granny online!

You mean...you're Peach_Fighter?

Haha, look at you. You're just as wimpy as I expected.

What did you just say?!

You're so rude! I can't believe you're still saying that stuff face-to-face.

Momoi, let us cleanse this evildoer with the Sword of Light!

If you don't apologize for your abusive language, I will show you hell! Apologize, right now!

Nope, not gonna do it.

Why not?!

I don't apologize to people weaker than me.

It would hurt my pride to bow to an inferior player.

Why, you little...!

Should I shoot, Sis?

Hero, I am ready to draw my sword. Just say the word.

Heh heh. If you think that's so unfair, then why don't we play Student Fighter 2 right now to settle the score? If you can get one round off of me, I'll apologize for what I said!

Okay, fine! But I won't go easy on you this time...

Get ready to get on your knees and apologize!

Well, then...

Game on!

Pfft! Wow, you lost again after talking such a big game!

What a total scrub! Heh...

Hold on! You can't just sit in the bottom left corner and wait! That's cheating!

How could you fight me only using pokes?!

What are you talking about? These moves are built into the game, so they're completely fair. If you don't want to get hit by them, then come up with a way to counter them. I mean, aren't you embarrassed for whining about some made-up rules?

Ugh...dammit!

That's odd. Lame poking moves aside, none of the special moves that Sis used seem to work.

Is there something we're missing here?

The opponent is probably exploiting a bug.

A bug?

Yes. There is a bug in Student Fighter 2 that freezes the machine very briefly when a certain input is done.

I think the opponent is using that bug to dodge Momoi's attacks.

Then there's no way for us to win!

Momoi might have a chance if she was much better than the opponent, but at this rate...

...

Hey...would it be okay if I played instead of Momoi...?

What, a new challenger?

Sure, bring it on. But you will be yet another victim to my superior techniques. Hahaha!

I guess I'll have to get serious then...

No... No way... I lost to a kid like you?

I couldn't even get a hit in, and you finished me with a full combo!

Now apologize...

What?

Apologize to Momoi, like you promised...

Fine... I hate to say it, but a promise is a promise...

I'm sorry. I said some harsh stuff before.

That was amazing, Yuzu! You smashed that arrogant gamer in like a second!

A perfect victory... You're awesome!

That was a victory worthy of the name "UZQueen"!

Wait...stop making such a fuss, everyone... It's embarrassing...

Wait, so you're UZQueen?

The legendary gamer who's remained number one in the online leaderboards, and has never shown their face to anyone?

I'm no legendary gamer...but, yeah, I am UZQueen...

What? That girl is UZQueen?

Isn't UZQueen that fabled gamer who not only ranks number one in fighting games, but also in rhythm games?

I can't believe that I get to see UZQueen in the flesh...

UZQueen, can I get your autograph, please?!

Yo, don't cut in line! I'm getting her autograph first!

Uhhh...so many people...

Help me! ...Momoi! Midori! Aris!

Uh, I guess lots of people recognized her username, since we're at an arcade.

Look at all the fans Yuzu has! ...It makes me so proud.

Hero, if you wish to become a great ruler, you must bear the full weight of the crown.

All I wanted was to play video games...

UZQueen, give me a few tips while you're here!

Me too!

Oh... More and more people are coming over...

No... No more!
