Ceng Zhuojun, a native of Guangzhou, graduated from Shaoguan University and was nicknamed "Kid" in the "Kid" competition. China's famous KOF player, the world champion of Japanese "Fighting Drama 07 Fighting Game Competition-KOF98 Plan", is proficient in KOF and question mark (random) in past dynasties, and is known as "Dongsheng Machine God" and "King of Question Marks".
Ceng Zhuojun, a native of Guangzhou, nicknamed "Kid", is a famous fighting game player in China. Mainly play king of fighters and Street Fighter Series 4. He has won the Japanese fighting drama 07 the king of fighters 98 project, Canadian Cup 20 13 Super Street Fighter 4AE20 12 project, Australian Shadowloo duel 20 12 king of fighters 13 project and American EVO20 12 Super Street Fighter 4ae20/kloc-0. Children are also famous random players of KOF, who have profound attainments in the study of many game characters and are called "Dongsheng Machine God".
Ceng Zhuojun started to play arcade fighting at the age of 6, and won the first Guangzhou KOF2000 competition at the age of 12. In the following years, he gradually participated in major fighting game competitions at home and abroad. At the beginning of 20 12, he joined the professional FTG team composed of European eLivePro and China ongbak * *, and fought under the sponsorship of the team. The entry ID is: eLivePro× QanBa | xiaohai. But like many FTG players in the world, playing games is not their job. They usually have their own jobs and only represent the team during the competition, which is different from some full-time fighting gamers.
Ceng Zhuojun has been playing games since he was 6 years old. As of 15, it has won many regional, national and world-class competition awards. In 2007, he won the the king of fighters 98 project in Tokyo, Japan, and won the world championship of fighting game series for the China Electronic Game Competition, becoming a "national hero" in the hearts of many players and being regarded as an idol by many young players. Major media rushed to report his brilliant achievements, hosted by Japan.
What is even more admirable is that he not only plays well in arcade game, but also has good academic performance and a wide range of hobbies. On the afternoon of April 7th, the reporter interviewed the world champion and learned his story.
"The simpler, the harder it is to learn. This is the charm of fighting games. "
Visual Animation: Why is your nickname "Child"? What's the point?
Ceng Zhuojun: I started playing games in the arcade when I was six years old. Maybe it's because I played computer games very hard when I was a child, and others didn't know my full name, so they called me "kid". I have been called many times, and everyone is used to it. Even though I have grown up now, they still call me "child".
Visual animation: What games do you like to play?
Ceng Zhuojun: There are many fighting games. King of fighters and Street Fighter can be used every generation, but Tiequan's operating system is quite different, so it is rarely played. There are also customs clearance games, such as armored veyron, revenge of the prince, Jurassic and other customs clearance games, and I will play customs clearance. Simply put, the weapons of all fighting games are joysticks and buttons. The principle is simple, but the simpler it is, the more difficult it is to learn. This is the charm of fighting games.
Visual animation: If you want to make a ranking list of your favorite games, what are the top three games? Why?
Ceng Zhuojun: If it was before, it was the king of fighters 2002UM, the king of fighters 98 and king of fighters 97. If ranked now, it is Super Street Fighter 4, the king of fighters 2002UM and the king of fighters 98.
King of fighters mainly tests a player's agility, while Street Fighter tests a player's ability to use countermeasures. In fact, the two are similar in operating system, except that king of fighters has a little more characters, and the series after the king of fighters 98 are basically more than 37 characters. Street fighter is not as fast as king of fighters, and it seems a bit rigid. In addition, street fighter is very accidental. You have to guess some tricks, but you can't crack them. For example, if someone knocks you down in a battle, you have only two choices, one is to jump up and the other is to stand up. There is no other choice, so you must choose the right strategy, or you will lose. But king of fighters can also have a defensive switch, which can break the opponent's attack. Relatively speaking, king of fighters is more agile, so I used to like king of fighters better. Later, I saw that everyone liked the new Super Street Fighter 4, so I started to play. After the demo, I feel that the rhythm is much faster than the previous version of Street Fighter, and I gradually like the new version.
Visual Animation: What do you think is the greatest success of Super Street Fighter 4?
Ceng Zhuojun: Super Street Fighter 4 is easy to use. The operating system is similar to the previous Street Fighter series. Players only need to try to know the basic gameplay, so it is very popular with players. But it is difficult to play well, which is also its charm.
Other similar games have launched new series, and the operating system is much more complicated than the old version, which is equivalent to touching a new game. It takes a lot of thought, so many old players are reluctant to touch it.
Visual Animation: What's the difference between the king of fighters 2002 and 2002UM?
Ceng Zhuojun: The full name of UM in the king of fighters 2002 is "the king of fighters 2002 Infinite Tournament", which is translated into Chinese as "the king of fighters 2002 Challenge Infinitely". It was released after the the king of fighters 2002 edition, and it was an enhanced version of the original 2002 edition. UM is mainly to strengthen the balance of the game, balance the original, and make the role-playing of the game more stable.
Visual animation: What role do you usually practice now?
Ceng Zhuojun: Now what I practice more is Yin, Fei Long and BOSS, all of which are the roles of Super Street Fighter 4. King of fighters seldom practices, because I used to play king of fighters more. King of fighters is like an old friend who knows all the characters in it.
Visual animation: Who do you like to play against?
Ceng Zhuojun: A very strong player with recognized strength, so the fighting process will be very intense and more fun. For example, Dakou (Su Haojun) and Jackie Chan.
"The most important thing is to believe in yourself."
Foresight animation: Do you have any secrets of the game to share with the players?
Ceng Zhuojun: Specifically, there are three elements. First of all, we should be familiar with the game, understand the gameplay, the advantages and disadvantages of each role, and so on. The second is to cultivate sensitive reaction, see the role attack, and immediately crack it in a conditioned way; Third, good psychological quality.
Visual Animation: How to Cultivate Sensitive Reaction and Good Psychological Quality?
Ceng Zhuojun: Sensitive reaction is to guess what the opponent is going to do in the continuous practice of the game, and then put it into practice after an instant reaction, so as to complete the rapid and perfect cooperation between the brain and the hand. Of course, this is not an overnight event, but an understanding of the game and the accumulation of long-term experience. Usually, if you play more and know more, you can roughly guess what your opponent will do next, or what he might do, that is, know the optimal solution, just like solving the optimal solution of a mathematical equation, X and Y, and guess the most likely result. Knowing other people's steps like the back of your hand, you will know what moves are safe and what moves are most likely to make the other person "fall into the trap", and you will know the best confrontation moves at this moment to form a quick response. For example, some characters put "waves", and you will hit him with waves for the first time; Some characters come running, just press him with their feet to prevent him from coming and hitting you; Some characters can defend if they fight, but grab instead of fighting. As soon as his opponent moves, he responds immediately. This is the key to conquering opponents, and it also depends on the player's ability to "know each other".
The most important thing for a good psychological quality is to believe in yourself, don't sell yourself short, and have a firm belief to create miracles. The highest level of success is peace of mind. In the absence of external interference, it is particularly important to keep a calm mind and play well in the game. Just like in 2008, maki won the king of fighters 98UM project championship. The reason why he won the title of "fighting drama" is that he seized the best opportunity and played very well on the spot, in addition to his strength.
Vision Animation: Many players say that you have a good psychological adjustment during the game. Aren't you nervous during the game?
Ceng Zhuojun: Yes, because the desire to win is stronger. The more you want to win, the greater the pressure and the more nervous you are. But I often try to adjust myself and turn pressure into motivation. I never think about whether I will lose, because it is meaningless to the game and will only increase the pressure. If I am always afraid of losing, I will definitely lose. I might as well think about the joy after winning.
Visual Animation: What competitions do you plan to participate in this year?
Ceng Zhuojun: As long as it is a big competition, I will basically participate. This year, I will participate in Huahai Technology's "hegemony" and hope to participate in the "EVO" in the United States.
Visual animation: What is the charm of the EVO competition that attracts you so much?
Ceng Zhuojun: "EVO" is the largest fighting game competition in North America, which is generally held in the United States, and it is also the highest level fighting game competition in the world except Japanese "fighting drama". General competitions include: Street Fighter 4, Soul of Knife 4, Superhero VS Capcom 2, Heart-broken Gear Accent Core, etc.
The level of players in arcade game is very high, and the scale of "EVO" competition is also very large. Winning the championship in this competition is a great challenge. Although I have been to Japan for many times to participate in the "fighting drama", I have never been to the United States, so I really want to participate.
Visual Animation: What's the difference between Fighting Chrysanthemum and EVO?
Ceng Zhuojun: "Game" is a game winning system. If you accidentally make a mistake and lose a game, you won't have a chance, which may be unfair to a truly powerful player. And "EVO" is the best of the three. If the master loses the first game, he can play the second game and still have a chance to turn the defeat into victory. It is easier to see who is the real owner.
Visual animation: What impressed you in domestic competitions?
Ceng Zhuojun: Participating in Shenzhen Dongmen Hercules KOF2002 Competition in 2004 was my first time out of Guangzhou Competition, which was a historic leap for me. In the same year, the Zhong You Department Store National North-South Competition Champion 2002 Team Competition was held in Xidan. At that time, many northern experts, especially Jackie Chan, then known as the "champion of China", also took part in the competition, and the competition was fierce. In that competition, the southern players were obviously less than the northern players. No one expected that as a player from the south, I would beat Jackie Chan. Later, the players in the north also affirmed my strength.
In addition, there is the 2007 TGB (World War II) battlefield in Shanghai-the King's Stage World Invitational Tournament. I won the championship in KOF98 individual competition and team competition, and the runner-up in KOF2002 individual competition and team competition. At that time, athletes from Chinese mainland, Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province, Japan and South Korea were included. At home, many people think that Hong Kong and Taiwan players are better than Chinese mainland players. As a result, I won the KOF98 project as the representative of Chinese mainland, which is of great significance.
Unfortunately, KOF2002 had a good chance to win the championship, but failed to win it. I analyzed it because I underestimated my enemy. At the beginning of the game, I thought his character could not win. Later, I suddenly found that the role was badly played and was obviously in a passive state.
"I don't think there will be any conflict between playing computer games and studying."
Visual animation: Your academic performance has been very good. How do you balance the relationship between play and study?
Ceng Zhuojun: Actually, I don't think there will be any conflict between playing computer games and studying. Learning well and playing well are not measured by time, but by understanding. If you understand it, you will do it well and you won't do the same thing again. Maybe I have some talent in this field. I can easily understand those tricks and soon know how to win, so I don't spend much time on games, which won't affect my study.
Moreover, the plane is not played until Saturday and Sunday, which does not affect the normal class time. If the class time is delayed because of taking part in a competition, I will borrow my classmates' notes and homework to see what problems they have done and what knowledge the teacher has reviewed, and make up the knowledge in my spare time.
Visual animation: I heard that you have a wide range of hobbies. What activities did you take part in? Did you win any prizes?
Ceng Zhuojun: Besides games, I also like table tennis, badminton and chess. I once won the first prize in the whole school table tennis competition. Once a very interesting thing happened: street fighter games and chess games were held right next to each other. After I won the champion of Street Fighter, I was curious to watch the chess game. I saw that I could still sign up, so I joined. As a result, I also won the championship, a psp and nds. When I think about it later, I feel incredible. (Laughter)
"If you want to play, you can play as a world champion."
Visual animation: I heard that you usually go to the game room with your father to play games? Your father teaches this game?
Ceng Zhuojun: When I was a child, he accompanied me to the computer room for fear that I would be bullied as a child. He seldom goes with me now. Usually I go to the computer room, and he often watches me play with others and gives me advice after the game. When we grow up, if we go to the game room together, it is often when he and others are about to lose the game, and he asks me to come on stage to make a comeback for him and fight against other people's roles with only one role left.
Vision animation: As we all know, your father supports you to play games.
Ceng Zhuojun: Yes. Dad said to me, "If you give money to play games, you must play well. If you want to play, you will become a world champion. " He thinks it's time to study. If I had one more interest, I would spend more time studying. In order not to waste time, I must learn this aspect well and become the strongest one. When I was a child, he would decide whether to let me play games according to my grades. If I get good grades, he will take me to play. If not, he will study at home.
I remember one thing deeply: I lost 20 coins playing king of fighters with others, and my father slapped me on the spot. I can still feel the weight of that slap. After that, I worked harder and made rapid progress.
Visual animation: Do you think your father's strict method is right?
Ceng Zhuojun: Judging from his current achievements, his educational methods are very good. My mother is also very supportive of my father. As long as I get good grades, there will be no problem. They are all proud of me. If it weren't for my father's urging and pressure, I might not have achieved what I am now.
Visual animation: What's dad's attitude after you won the world championship in Japan?
Ceng Zhuojun: He didn't tell me any details, but my mother said that he had watched the game more than 20 times. He also told the good news to his relatives and friends, and I could feel his joy.
Visual animation: Will your parents worry about your future?
Ceng Zhuojun: Yes. Even if I am fine now, they will be afraid that I will lose. No parents are not worried about their children. No matter how old their children are, no matter how well they do, parents will be worried. But as long as they do well, they can see it in their eyes.
Visual animation: Many people compare you with Ding Junhui, a national player, and suddenly feel that you and Ding Junhui have a lot in common, the same young fame, the same glory for our country, the same world champion, and the same hand-held competitive events. what do you think?
Ceng Zhuojun: I'm not as good as him. I hope arcade game can be valued like table tennis in the future. Nowadays, all kinds of large-scale fighting game competitions are being held all over the world, which is a sign that the game is gradually recognized by the public.
"I want to stick to the development in the game industry."
Visual animation: You defended your two-time champion in 2009 Guangdong Super Street Fighter 4 TV Challenge 20 10. As a guest of the third TV Challenge this year, you directly compete with the champion. What was the result?
Ceng Zhuojun: I just finished my performance in the studio of Guangdong TV Station. I won two of the three games. There should be videos online.
Visual animation: I heard that you are still an intern at Guangdong TV Station. What are your internship opportunities at the TV station? What are you responsible for?
Ceng Zhuojun: I won the title of Street Fighter 4 twice, and I was also a guest commentator of the competition in TV station, so I got along well with the staff of TV station. There will be many technical things in this column that need to be explained by professional players. They thought my explanation was good, so they invited me to practice in Taiwan Province. On the sixth day of the first month of this year (February 8), I officially entered the TV station as an intern.
There are contacts in all aspects of work before and after the stage, but I mainly explain the game as a guest.
Vision Animation: The game columns created by Guangdong TV Sports Channel are very popular with players, and the ratings are constantly improving. What has changed in your plan since you joined?
Ceng Zhuojun: In the past, contestants were invited to the studio to record programs. If the contestants can't arrive in time, the live broadcast of the program will be affected. Later, we discussed going to the game hall to record the player's fighting process, and pushing the program to every game room, not necessarily requiring the player to go to the TV studio, which was convenient for the player and ensured the smooth recording of the program.
At present, the TV station plans to pilot four game halls in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and is negotiating with the store to sign the contract. It is estimated that a new recording and broadcasting mode can be realized next month.
Visual animation: What do you think you have gained from playing games?
Ceng Zhuojun: For example, having made many friends, I can have many opportunities to compete in various places, and I can practice in a TV station. These are things that many people long for, and I cherish them very much.
Visual animation: Will it bring you inconvenience after becoming famous?
Ceng Zhuojun: After I open QQ at home, many strangers will add me, and many strangers will have my phone number. At first, I was open to everyone, but later I found that it was the same pattern. The first sentence is "You are my idol" and the second sentence is "Can we play two sets?" . Often after the game is over, someone invites me to play again, and everyone does. I'm embarrassed to refuse. Later, I simply set Q to nobody. In fact, on Q, I like to talk to others about topics outside the game and relax. And I usually go to the game room to play computer games, and I don't like to play at home. I think playing anywhere will be boring, but I'm not that enthusiastic about games.
Visual animation: When you were interviewed by the media in the third year of high school, you said that you would consider immigrating to Canada when the conditions were ripe, and get close to your dreams while working. Has it changed now?
Ceng Zhuojun: I don't really want to emigrate now, because China's comprehensive national strength is getting stronger and stronger, and its prospects are still very bright. But also made small achievements in China. Instead of immigrating to Canada, it is better to continue to develop in China. If possible, I want to stick to the development in the game industry.
Visual Animation: Do you want to work in arcade game?
Ceng Zhuojun: I want to see if I can be a guest, a commentator, a game developer, an event planner, a host or even an endorsement. I hope that I can do my job well as before, continue to maintain the championship level of games, and apply my talent in games to my work.

Any suggestions for friends who are keen on playing games? I think young people should focus on learning now, study hard, and then work hard on other interests and pay attention to methods. Like I play games, I say I play games mainly for psychological purposes, and many people don't sum up their experience even if they die.
