Scoops is retarded. Especially since it was about Abel’s command throw. It’s like people are just too desperate and want to be “creative” and come up with terms for everything. I won’t be surprised when SFV drops and people are screaming ball massage whenever Gief lands an SPD. Along with nonsense like “Dat bitch Viper got dat FIERCE ATHLETE’S FOOT homie.”
Another strike towards the misuse of “vortex” is when people were actually saying such and such character has a “mini” vortex. WTF. C’mon man.
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.

I think “run-back” is also annoying because this isn’t a football game. What’s next? When it’s the final round, is someone going to say: its fourth down, here comes the hail mary ultra for the win! omg!
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.
OH, HOW COULD I FORGET!?
“ROM”
It’s like this, ROM was the japanese player that invented/discovered the Magneto infinite in MvC2. It’s known for looking like a zigzag, up and down motion that Magneto does while coordinating Super jumps, attacks and airdashes. His name was given to the infinite, for respect and ease of use.
Now, Marvel 3 comes out, and a similar Magneto combo is discovered. The same zigzag, up and down pattern is identified and it gets the name “Ghetto ROM”, because it’s clearly not Magneto’s old ROM, nor is it an infinite. The “Ghetto” part was dropped by most, either because they didn’t know about it or because they didn’t feel like writing/saying it out.
But now, ultimate comes out, and EVERY SINGLE PERSON wants their character to have a “ROM”. It’s retarded. Doom MnMs turn into ROM. Wesker air loops are ROM. Modok stupid-ass combos are ROM. LeiLei air loops… ROM.
I mean, and you ask these guys if they know what ROM means, they won’t be able to give you a correct answer, most likely. It’s just retarded.
Also, people calling Magneto doing j.H > addf j.H > launcher > Again a ROM. Just… stupid.
Also also: Most shit said on the frontpage nowadays is just ignorant.
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.
