Are you top score still?

[ Is he going to wow Izuku or crush him or ]

[blastedass]

No. Some fucking asshole exploited a glitch and maxed out the top score. They won't reset it cause it'll wipe out the rest of the scores.

[The one's gotten through honest effort. But he does rev through the high score section to show he's sitting squarely in 3rd (2nd) place, just under someone else.]

FUCK! That son of a bitch beat me!

[defendure]

So 2nd place is the real 1st place?

[ What name does Katsuki use for his scores, anyway. ]

[blastedass]

Yeah.

[Process of subtraction.

"DYNAMT"!]

[defendure]

[ Izuku uses DEKUAM. ]

You've been trying to beat the max one though?

[blastedass]

[I am Deku. Deku All Might. Both good ways to unpack that. "Deku's Arm" or "Deku Morning" but you know...]

No. Look.

[with the top score being 361,550 and the max score being 9,999,999...]

[defendure]

[ Deku All Might. He likes the reference. But Katsuki has a point... ]

I'm surprised no one else used the glitch. [ Not about Katsuki though. ]

[blastedass]

Everyone started protesting when it happened, so they shut the machine down and called the techs. Guess this was the compromise...

[No name was allowed to be recorded on the record so it's up for anyone to claim they did it. Not that many would, since it's not something positive in the arcade.]

[defendure]

I feel like erasing the scores might have been better - it would suck if people couldn't top their own best games, but that could already be true.

[ Now no one can be #1. ]

[blastedass]

Some people don't wanna redo all their hard work just cause of one asshole. But they're all here to try and get the top spot, so they'd be "redoing" it anyways.

[So long as you ignore the #1 spot and make #2 the new #1, it's feasible.]

[defendure]

Yeah, that's my point. I mean...it feels like letting the guy win in some ways. But, as long as everyone is still having fun it's okay!

[ He's less good at driving games than fighting ones, so Izuku doesn't expect to place immediately. ]

[blastedass]

Enough people point that out, they might wipe the entire thing.

[He'd have to redo his high score, but he's always trying to beat it anyways, so moot point.

Katsuki shifts the level to a street with medium traffic, then opts for a chase rather than a race. They have to evade the other AI players for 5 minutes through the city streets.]

[defendure]

[ Evasion Izuku is better at, although ironically not as good as he would be in a real chase. Danger sense doesn't really work for video games. ]

What are you hoping for?

[blastedass]

[Plus he's on a bike and not on two legs with Blackwhip. But Katsuki knows he'll pick it up quickly. Izuku's always been a diligent study.]

I'd wipe it and start fresh.

[defendure]

I would, too. It's not fun to let a cheater win?

[ Creativity in combat is one thing, but hacking a game is another. ]

[blastedass]

we'll bring it up to the front desk before we leave.

[Add two more votes. See if that might magically tip the scales. Wasn't so much a hack as a glitch they figured out. Go to this place, put it in this gear, wedge it precariously above this street at this time, competing against this team, and then accelerate at the perfect point to cause the game to krrrtz!

Fuck up beneficially. Truth be told, whoever did it probably dumped a lot of money and time into the game to figure it out, so... somewhat paid for it?]

[defendure]

After this one we should do a co-op game. We might get more tickets faster that way?

[ Izuku's learning the controls but will place probably solid third in their round.

[blastedass]

[They're not racing, so as long as Izuku's keeping away from the people chasing him, then he and Katsuki as a team are gonna come in top place for the round.]

All right. Anyone in mind?

[defendure]

Er...well, some of the rhythm games have co op modes. Or we can just keep doing competitive...

[ Maybe they can make a bet or something. ]

[blastedass]

Fucking awesome at rhythm games.

[He's good with teaming up. Wanted to get his racing fix.]

[defendure]

I like the dancing one.

[ And he's fine with racing as long as Katsuki wants to, really. ]

[blastedass]

[They can always come back for more rounds later.]

The four direction ones or the eight directions?

[defendure]

I think the eight directions one is a better challenge.

[ Four is too easy. ]

[blastedass]

Yeah. Four's too damn easy.

[The eight one gives a much better workout as well.]

[defendure]

But what should we put for the name when we place?

[ What unholy combination... ]
