Comparing fighting games to tennis is fucking retarded. People should be able to get hype and get excited when something indeed hype or exciting happens.
meaty attack
Jesus is there any term you people DO like?
Some of these are not lingos BTW.
cross-ups
Lingo probably wasnt a good term to put in the title. I just sort of wrote it very fast after reading some posts and the term fraudulent constantly popping up over and over.
I should have said fighting game lingo, terms, and memes that you find annoying.
all of them are stupid. you can’t see a headline from iantothemax without seeing “technology” in it, he sounds like a 15 year old that wandered into the room and desperately wants approval. “Get hype” has always been stupid and probably moreso more than any other term because of the mouthbreathing attempt at forced grammar negation. and if any of these terms are said now, it’s not by whoever came up with it, so it makes everyone that uses them sound like a plagiarizing faceless retard.
Dat Mango Sentinal
Do you even have friends that you play with in real life?
Anyone who posts in this thread, for every term they mention, need to provide an alternative term that is acceptable to them.
And then we can see everyone else hating on that term too
Ones in the instruction manuals of the games in question.
I so agree with this one.
-“Hype” and “get hype”
And “salty.” Nothing and no one should be called salty unless they are my McDonald’s fries.
As much as I don’t mind Justin Wong, it’s started to bug me lately when some commentators have used his name as a Verb. And yeah, that “Happy Birthday” thing’s just weird. Can’t they just call it like a “Two-For” or something?
Godlike
Free/stay free
Using low tier/mid tier/high tier to describe something
Anything that comes out of that James Chen guy’s mouth
Random - what my opponent calls out when I activate Ultra between the time I hear Guile shout “sonicboom” and him actually doing it
technology
shout outs
calling Mvc3 Mahvel
Swagless morons with like minor Tourette’s pretty much killed swag for me.
when people say they’ve been developing “technology” it reminds me of how the waterboy tells his mom that he’s a “water distribution engineer”
yomi, oki, vortex, option select, tiers (unless the person is performing at 100%" is that a computer/japanese player" consistency with everything the character has along with the other player doing the same, tiers mean close to shit.)
those as they are always used to flaunt knowledge that the person doesn’t have because they use them incorrectly EXTREMELY often, but numero fucking uno
SCRUB | SCRUBBY
also calling every dropped combo a reset, if thats the case im a reset master.
I never liked when derogatory sexual terms are used to describe whats happening. I cringe when someone says that a dude got raped when the other guy won convincingly.
Does the Floe face count as fighting game lingo?
I always thought “mix-up” meant mixing up high attacks and low attacks, while “cross-up” was the term used for left-rights.
Actually, every single Yipes joke from that Marvel 2 video or the second Marvel 2 video. They’ve been repeated ad nauseum by people who aren’t funny.
Say what you want about mix-ups, footsies, meaties, or happy birthdays, but at least those mean something; Mango Sentinel is spammed everywhere, no matter the topic.
