Fighting game lingo you find annoying

And yet… YOUR signature…

^ hey now Salty Runback in Seattle is legit, with 60+ entering AE and about 40 with umvc3 last month.

Nerds designed and built the computer or smart phone you use to post this retarded comment.
Nerds designed the gaming systems, sticks, and games that you use to entertain yourself.
Nerds basically created every single thing on earth that makes us the MODERN world today.
go back to playing with rocks, and chasing after your dinner to keep you occupied you non thinking caveman.

Your avatar is of a 3rd Strike character… How could you possibly find that term annoying? It’s completely valid. Describing an attack that had extra depth to it: Meaty. Only other alternate I can think of would be like… Er… Delayed, and that just doesn’t sound correct.

Happy birthday didn’t annoy me at first but at this stage in the game’s life we really need a new term that doesn’t make me shake my head.

Reset. Because for some reasons people think that a dropped combo = a reset.

I like the term: “free.” It can be used in that context: He called out that assist and got caught, FREE (or for FREE. Or FUH FREE).
It’s quite versatile and does a good job of demeaning an inferior opponent. 8.95 defeats the purpose of “free,” so 8.95 needs to stop… Wherever it came from.

Nobody has used 8.95 since December.

I personally love all the fighting game lingo. The only thing that kinda irks me when people say shoutouts to anything but an actual person. It doesn’t like kill me inside but it’s just a little unnecessary.

“Tiers.”

That’s right, I said it. Come and get me.

I don’t mind what it refers to, I just don’t like the use of “meaty” to describe it. The food connotations make it weird to me for some reason.

“for free” is fine. “for pesos” is even better. describing someone as “free” or “fray” as in “free wins” is just a bit much for me.

pot monster is another term i’d like to see done away with. i’ll gladly abstain from entering tournies that i don’t have a shot at placing in with that attitude on display, thanks.

It is generally sarcasm.

So what you’re implying is that nerd = intelligent? You have to be smart to be a nerd? You have to be a nerd to be smart?

You dont even know what a nerd is, and not every nerd is intelligent.

That’s not what $8.95 is for. $8.95 is a reference to the Canada Cup’s premium stream, which worked only barely better than the regular stream as a stream, while the regular stream had lots of ads, some of which happened DURING matches. So 8.95 isn’t an insult for players, its for #esports streamers.

Just and still ESPORTS!!!

Weren’t some folks calling those “american resets?”

I think they’re always ‘x resets’ where x is the country/city/state you’re hating on at the moment.
