Every time I hear Option-select I think of chicken selects
that’s really, really funny. holy shit.
Vortex when it was just Akuma was fine. The problem is that everyone wanted to be “cool” and then started jumping on the bandwagon. Because of that all of a sudden everyone in SFIV has a vortex. It could be a simple hard to read cross up and it’s now called a vortex. Part of the problem is people just throwing around terms because they’ve become popular and misusing terms as well.
if it has to be used, it should only be in reference to something with repeated untechable knockdowns

you won’t be missed
James chen always mentioning “and wow an execution error on x’s part” when the person couldn’t have possibly even comboed in the situation
I like Vortex when used with IRL situations.
Alright, I’m back on board. Option-select is totally cool.

Pay more attention to the you part(especially melty/arcana fans) then American.
Sure some of the terms have run their pace’s but whining on a forum…
Although it is a broad term encompassing Fighting Games, E-Sports is pretty dumb. I think video games or professional video gaming should be used instead of E-sports no matter the circumstance unless describing how dumb the term E-sports is.
A lot of the said terms annoy me, and I guess you guys too, but I actually enjoy listening to commentating with heavy use of these terms, like spooky and such. I think it’s cool that we in the fighting game community have this ridiculous language that we all understand. I didn’t get ANY of the shit they said in old MvC2 vids, but now that I’ve spent some time playing FGs, I like it.
I think it’s a good thread. If you consider it “whining”, then isn’t it best that it is all in one thread so you aren’t forced to see it in other threads that you’d like to read about other topics?
On-topic: Chicken selects are bomb, and I support them as new lingo.
I don’t like ‘technology.’
Good. GTFO.
That’s how everyone feels about his commentary but that won’t stop him from trying anyway!
I think you’re gonna have to come up with shorter, catchier names if you plan on competing with e-sports though.
“professional video gaming”, please… Everyone would just shorten it to progaming. Isn’t that already a term that is used widely?
Chicken Select: An option select while chicken blocking.
Uh oh! Some random guy called me by my SUPER old forum SN!
Back on topic swag is stupid too.
Oh you of all people know that will never happen i enjoy this far to much.
