Fighting game lingo you find annoying

“Get hype” gay as hell. True story

They are fucking salty, aren’t they? Jesus. BK fries > McD’s, any day.

happy birthday has to stop.

Honestly as much as I hate the sound of it BOGO (Buy-One-Get-One) is a much better term for the two for one situation that everyone calls happy birthday. It’s one of the only things in slang that I can say norcal did right, nothing can make up for the abomination that is “hella” though.

So what’s wrong here, the word itself or the person who uses it?

What annoys me the most is people getting on mic saying random dumb shit hoping something will stick and become a meme
Others include:
Saturation
8.95 ( Sick of it after the first day)
Good Read (Don’t mind this if used in the correct situation)
Godlike (Are we still in the 90s?)
Swag (Why are people still saying this?)
Thank you based capgod (Do I even need to explain)
Technology (Just call it strategy already)
Hype (Might be the most over used word of 2011 in the fgc)

I think im getting tired of “psychic” and “good read” becuz the difference is based on the player and not the action , I guess u can throw in “random” too

Happy Birthday
Vortex (this is the worst term of all time)
James Chen
Swag (most overused word of the last decade easily)
Anime fighter (Any game with stylized art and airdashes is an anime game now apparently)
Pringles

How does anyone post in this thread without mentioning motherfucking option select? Worst term for anything, of all time.

Also ‘swag’ is the new ‘epic.’ We should have just never brought it up, now it’s ruined for everyone.

Swag and thank you based <insert something here>

No.

-calling any primer/guide/wall of text a bible
-fraud (wtf is a fraud? either you’re good with that character or you’re not)
-happy birthday
-neutral game (wtf)
-abare
-herp derp, derpy

Vortex, shit is just mix-ups dude.

Thought not liking the term TOD? Touch of death? I mean it kinda explains itself so don’t get why that one isn’t liked.

Also fuzzy guard used to make sense but then when SFIV came out you had to explain it to people who didn’t get it who tried to explain it incorrectly to others … and now it means like 4 or 5 different things depending on who you talk to. Shit is just the weird property of hitboxes not changing during stun (block, knockdown,hit, whatever).

I remember the first time I heard the term option select. I thought the commentors were talking about a training mode feature or something like that.

The words seem like they should be explanatory (It selects the right option), but they just weren’t for me.

Okay, this I can agree on. If we’re talking about the person himself that is.

I rather like McDonald’s fries! lol BK burgers>McD burgers

Fuzzy Guard shouldn’t be used unless you’re playing Virtua Fighter or Tekken since they’re the only games that it truly relate to…since they’re actual mechanics in the game. VF’s training mode even explains in extreme detail what a fuzzy guard is.

Thank you VF4EVO training mode. Why can’t they all be like you?

I can’t control it

dark <insert character name/object> rises

plinking and vortex are pretty much the gayest terms out of them all.

Whenever I heard plinking I think “plinko” which in turn makes me think of Bob Barker playing street fighter. Which isn’t bad exactly, just the term in general is fucking stupid.
