Fighting game lingo you find annoying

It’s fake talk if it’s a lie. It’s the new “word is bond.”

In regards to the origins of MvC2 lingo, could someone explain Big Poppa Pump to me? I know who the actual person is, but how it got associated with Sent. I don’t really find it annoying; in fact, it’s a little funny when referring to the big robot.

Ok, what does “word is bond” mean?

I also dislike “it is what it is” as if it would ever be somthing that it is not. You are just saying the same thing twice.

Like it splits where it splits, or it was what it was.

Its going to be dark outside when its going to be dark outside.

I hate it all. Makes us fighting game players sound like retards.

lol “It is what it is” is a very dated phrase that barely has any ties with fighting games. That is older than fighting games.

“Word is bond,” just like “real talk,” essentially means “I’m telling you the truth” - similar to “for real”, “no joke”/“no lie”, or whatever else has come and gone.

Yea its called a Tautology(although that is usually different words). I just had to bring it up since its making an annoying comeback of sorts.:tup:

It’s not necessarily a fighting game term, but “swag” and “real talk.” And just anything said by people who try too hard to act tough and hard in the FGC. You play/watch tournaments for video games. You are not “swag.” Neither am I. And I’d hate to be.

Although I still love Yipes’s commentary just because it’s so delightfully random.

I pretty much hate all of it that makes me feel like I’m walking through the inner city.

Are you implying everyone are being totally honest 100% of the time?

No.

When people/a video’s title says “Solo Combo” in games like MVC2/MVC3 and the character uses assists -_-

“Here’s some Hsien-Ko combos”

Tags in Dante for 70% of the combo

I’m kinda over salt now actually.

It’s been pretty overused. I hate seeing lingo be integrated into visual mediums I suppose. Not hate, but…it just irks me, it’s like people think it’s necessary as opposed to optional.

lol what? It is what it is tells someone about the situation, usually saying that “things are the way they are, stop bitching.” Kinda like this thread.

Probably been said already but “Meaty” or “Meaties”.

Theres a tournament called “Salty Runback”

LOL. I would never go to some shit that uses FG nerd lingo terms as the WHOLE name. LOL.

I would never take a post seriously that features all caps “lol” at the beginning and end of a sentence in reference to the poster’s own comment.

I would never take anyone seriously who lists MVC3 teams in their sig.

some kid was getting loud about a marvel 3 match and shrieking like a damn girl…nigga…it aint even real marvel…

I calmly told him to chill the fuck out…I felt bad but it was really getting annoying…

marvel 3 players in general all speak that lingo shit…at least in my state…

LOL Guess that retort was your impression of a “salty runback.” LOL

Fail.
