After inserting a few tokens, the machine showed the screen to select their fighters.

Yi Ran went directly to Orochi[1], while Song Yu Meng picked Kula Diamond.

It's a well-known fact that Orochi was the strongest character in King of Fighters, and Yi Ran thought Song Yu Meng would choose Orochi or Iori Yagami to face off against her. She never thought it would be Kula.

"Seriously, you chose Kula against Orochi?"

"What, can't I?" Song Yu Meng said defiantly. "As long as I play properly, you won't beat me even with Orochi."

Yi Ran was speechless, wondering: Are you saying I can't play properly?

After confirming the stage and the rules, the game started.

Yi Ran first retreated with Orochi and kept the block up, while Song Yu Meng was aggressively attacking and using the specials. Yi Ran had already been forced to the edge of the map, but there wasn't much damage taken thanks to the continuous block.

Song Yu Meng taunted, "Crazy Yi, you're being unreasonable. I've never seen such a coward, only blocking in the game!"

Yi Ran smiled and watched as Kula kept attacking.

Half a minute went by and when Kula's rage meter[2] was filled, Song Yu Meng used the ultimate attack.

Yi Ran dropped the block and watched as Orochi was left with a sliver of health. She didn't panic though; it was all within her control.

Song Yu Meng felt like she was going to win, so she laughed: "Hahaha Crazy Yi, why didn't you block? You're gonna lose now!"

"You just used your ultimate, you think you can still beat me?"

Yi Ran immediately went on the offensive and knocked Kula down. When the character got to her feet, Yi Ran pressed the 2 and 3 buttons at the same time to activate the combo and she watched as Kula's health bar went down.

Song Yu Meng was panicking. She saw Orochi's rage meter filled up and felt uneasy, blocking just like Yi Ran did earlier.

Yi Ran smiled, knowing victory was close at hand, and she threw the ultimate out. Orochi's damage was too high and even though she was blocking, Kula was knocked out.

KO appeared on the screen and Yi Ran let go of the controls, asking smugly: "So? I'm pretty good, right? Do you accept defeat?"

Unwilling to admit defeat, Song Yu Meng scoffed: "Cheh, you're not good at all! You're a coward, shameless!"

"How is that being shameless? It's called having a strategy, okay?" Yi Ran shook her head.

"What strategy? It's clearly being shameless!"

"Okay, okay. Then I won't block, I'll fight you directly, okay?"

"That's more like it. If you don't play shamelessly, this lady wouldn't lose!"

The two of them went for another round. This time, Yi Ran didn't block at all. The moment the round started, she immediately stuck close to Kula and attacked. Buttons 1 and 3 were another new combo, and Kula was immediately knocked down. Once the rage meter was filled, an ultimate took care of that round.

The whole round took just around 10 seconds.

"I played fairly this time, and you still couldn't beat me." Yi Ran wriggled her eyebrows. "Am I good?"

"You're not good at all! If you're so good, you use Kula and beat my Orochi, then I'll admit you're good."

"Deal."
