One of the star concepts in the world of video games is the ludarrative dissonance . It was a term coined by Clint Hocking , director of Far Cry 2 to explain Why in Bioshock the story was on the one hand and the playable interaction on the other. Since then it has been used with some insistence to group all those works with an internal conflict so powerful.
These internal inconsistencies within the code of some videogames can also be extrapolated to a very specific genre such as fighting Games . Even though the key mechanics - and unique - of these titles is none other than curtaining the loin at blows to the rival, within their community and within their professional scene, there is a factor of social sensitivity and feeling of belonging to A family that there are multiple examples.
tedious and free money
In 2017, Dominique Sonicfox McLean was already crowned as the best player in the world of injustice 2 , the video game of Netherrealm Studios facing a multitude of characters from the DC Comics universe. As the Champion of the Pro Series of that year he confirmed the domain of him in a game of more fights, but what he did the next year was something more than lifting the trophy.
He came to the tournament with something less favoritism than he who should have a current champion, since during 2018, he focused on Dragon Ball Fighterz, a title that was champion in Mecca del Genre, the Evolution Championship Series of the Vegas . But he considered that he had an insulting superiority and came to describe the game as tedious and the Pro Series like Free Money , free money. As if that were not enough he went to the tournament using the Joker as the main character, one who was at that time was considered pretty bad for all experts.
What looked like something extravagant or a gesture of the gallery, ended up being a factor very much to take into account by the rivals of him. In this game of fights, as in many others, professionals are usually limited to a handful of characters with different roles. However Sonicfox, who had previously been able to play almost a dozen at a very good level, was developed into playing Joker as long as he could in these finals of the Pro Series.
ESPORTS as hope
At the end of the winners picture, SonicFox found a great friend as Curtis Rewind McCall. Unfortunately, Rewind had had a very bad news a time ago, having diagnosed him a cancer in phase 3. More specifically, he knew it a month before him before him in the Evo de Las Vegas, the which he dedicated him.
His father, named Welton McCall, submitted to the mandatory surgery the week before Rewind left to Chicago to play the finals of the Pro Series of injustice 2. Being American being, it is possible to imagine to what point the figures of the Family spending on health, and What is necessary that Rewind will take the money from the home prize . With Welton hospitalized and without the possibility of keeping the payroll of him as a worker in the kitchens of the Sam s Town Hotel de Las Vegas, it was time to close his shoulder and take advantage of the young woman s talent in the fighting video games.
A promise fulfilled
Sonicfox beat him in that first septer, tracing a 2-0 against, and sending Rewind to the lower picture. But before that duel of the Top 4 began, he made a promise: If I win, I am willing to share a part of the prize to help you with your father s treatment . A few words that excited Rewind before jumping on the battlefield
Both the level of him as a player and the desire to achieve all the possible money for his father made Rewind left victorious from his passage through the purgatory of the so-called final of Losers and achieved a position in the real duel for the qualification. In case it was little spectacular at the narrative level that his Batman seek revenge against the Sonicfox Joker, there was a very special viewer as it was the father of Rewind -I know the promise of Sonicfox-, who tuned the finals from the hospital.
Sonicfox took the tournament, and in the postparty interview itself, he confirmed that he would donate a quarter of the prize, $ 10,000, to the Rewind family: I do not do this for the money, Rewind is one of my best friends, a partner of workouts and I am very happy to have been able to share this final and this prize with him .
