Fighting game lingo you find annoying

The fuck? I thought scoops was from Marvel?

It might have been because when I joined here(07) I never really saw much MVC2. But I clearly remember watching a SFIV match and Yipes was doing commentary and he did say “Scoop/Scoops/Scoops Hagen Daaz” whenever Abel did his tornado throw. Hence why I assume that’s it’s origin.

Scoops

“No homo”, “that’s gay” etc. FG community proving every day how progressive they really are. Sorry non ironic post stop acting like children.

But people don’t use it as a replacement for the already vague term “strategy,” they use it as a cover-all to describe whatever the character is capable of. Instead of saying things like “that’s a good use of x to deal with y,” “that’s a cool new way to combo,” or “look how he used that one move to set up this mixup,” it all comes out “DAMN NEW TECH.” To me it’s just lazy commentating, and is a bad way to decribe difference aspects of fighting games.

I love all fighting game lingo.

Wrong.

Scoops existed before SF4.

oh also Mike “insert something here” Ross

Nah, it’s from that video above. He said it first… but it was in relation to Marvel. That’s more of a Yipes thing than a game-specific thing. IMHO - If you’re not Yipes, there’s no reason you should say anything from that video.

Oh! I almost forgot about “Based God” and all that stupid non-sense.

That’s an internet trend… I see that for everything… based chuck norris is the most fucked up shit ever.

hah I think that’s it, If you’ve heard it more than 5 times, don’t repeat it it’s no longer funny.

Has nothing to do with football. It a term used in pretty much anything when involving a rematch. Just a FYI.

Looks like I learned a new urban slang phrase today.

Earlier I was quite active in emu forums, so I used rom_freak as my psn id.
Almost all my fg friends think I am a fan of ROM. :lol:
Truth be told, I didn’t even knew that ROM was a fg lingo until I came across it in youtube.

Everything that MvC3 and streams are responsible for.

“Technology”/"Secret Tech"
hype as an adjective
the word “scrub” bothers me because my mind instantly goes to that TLC song in the 90s

Oh, there are the game roms, of course, It’s a different thing.

ROM is only FG lingo in the context of combos, everything else isn’t related.

I hate the term, “Fightstick” . No rational reason, just hate hearing or reading it.

Puerto Rican/Dominican (LIKE YIPES LOL not the PR part anyway)
