i just wanna say that the book series in your avatar is godlike
Haha thanks man, I honestly can’t remember the name of it. Could you remind me?
Frog and Toad, godlike books
Because that’s not what they’re called.
yeah, shits godlike. totally scrapes other book series free
wow can’t believe I forgot that. Perhaps the worst fighting game term there is. Maybe tied with its cousin “Fightpad”
I’ve played someone before who whenever would land almost any attack at all, be it sweep, projectile, jab, whatever he’d always yell “Hold dat! Hold dat!” Someone needs to hold that guy’s damn mouth shut.
For the most part I find fighting game lingo pretty grating. I’ve been known to say a phrase every now and again but I swear to God some people speak entire sentences that sound bonkers.
“Hold dat L on your chest you salty pringles loser! My tech is too godlike and you got raped! Stay free! Curleh mustache morton’s!”
Just… stop.
i dislike most of the fg lingo these days because a lot of it just sounds nerdy/corny/forced/etc., but when i hear it, i imagine why it’s so overused and that turns me off more than anything. imo, many of these new games are dumbed down/played dumb down and in general i think the current state of fighting games is for babies. mostly fluff and not much real intensity or layered strategy/mind games are happening and i just imagine these phrases and words came about as a way to generate artificial hype. the word “fightstick” tells it all.
Bread & Butter
Meaty Attack

Bread & Butter and Option Select I get, but what other word would you substitute for meaty? That’s a legitimate term.
In the lab
Derp, people calling hard cOmbos derp always irks me
People changing names of moves
Calling marvel mahvel
Yipes
People nicknamong moves
Hardy? Hardy hard punch doesn’t sound right though.
Oh I think the word “deep” can be used, I’ve heard that used to describe late jumpins so I’d say a “deep fierce on wakeup” would work.
Here’s one slang I hate specifically for UMVC3:
“read a book” in reference to Dr. Strange’s super.
I don’t mind if people say it every once in a while, BUT EVERYTIME STRANGE USES HIS SUPER? no. And considering how useful the SOV is? That’s often.
I always hated when someone would gave a character or move a pet name. I remember when vanilla MvC3 was still one commentator (his name escapes me) would always call Dormammu Dormington (I think that’s the spelling). Shit was annoying. Likewise with Ammy being called dog, Ryu being called ordinary guy, Jin’s Musou’s being known as the ice car, etc.****
Could have fooled me. I thought you were white.
What I got from this thread was, everyone hates everything, got it!
“ITS NOT FIREBALL, ITS HADOUKEN!! STUPID YIPES!!”
Shit, I remember the days when nobody knew what the names of attacks were… I remember…
Ryu / Ken
Fireball, spin kicks, and uppercut…
Chun had fireball and lightening legs.
Honda was headbutt and thousand punch (slaps, etc.)
Blanka’s slide is apparently called “Amazon River Run”… I played Blanka for 10 years, and I never heard that until a few years ago, somebody asked in the ST forum, what it can be used for, and both me and Khiempossible were like, DERR?
I think we said “hadoken” sometimes… “Tiger”, “Sonic boom”, “Yoga XXXX”, and “Psycho crusher”.
Everything else was just… “uppercut”… 'knee"…
For the longest time, I didn’t know that SPD meant “Spinning Pile Driver”
You know, I often think even Yipes has to be sick of the stuff in the “IT’S MAHVEL BAYBEE!” video, he can’t escape it now.
I’m sick of people saying “I bodied him/them/whoever” when they just barely won.
In relation to real life: 10/8 in a FT10 is NOT being bodied.
10/1 is…
I actually like the “rare footage of Daigo etc etc” saying, it’s hilarious.
for me, I don’t like the term “Free” either, it just sounds dumb. Happy Birthday is dumb, pretty much any slang derived from MvC3 is dumb. Not hating on the game or anything
“Wesker”, “Broken” and “S-Tier” do it for me. Rediculous.
