“Cheese”
“Free”
“Salty” and all variations therein.
“Fanmail” - used to describe hatemail received after a match.
“Stepped on” - received a heavy loss
and the obvious “You mad”.
Mmm, gotta love that original recipe KFC!

“Salty” is not ‘fighting game slang’… smfh…
Is Izuna Drop a fighting game slang? I use it all the time when a Izuna like move is performed.
I just heard this one recently, it gets my vote for the best one.
“Givin’ 'em change” - 3S Hugo’s c.LP, c.LP, c.MP block strings, Fei Long’s c.MP
“Cheddar Bob” - Someone that constantly wins off of chip damage (remember that cheese pic in the Alpha series)
“Harlem Shake” - 3S Twelve’s qcb+P
We had this guy in Hawaii who would say he would have to get in his “tournament style” when we had Tekken 5 tourneys, and it basically meant he would up his defense and (attempt to) throw all day… So pretty much from that point forward we’d use that term for anyone that went “Wrestlemania” on somebody…
“Salty” has become one of my favorites since the Morton’s commercials showed up during the Evo stream.
“Curleh Mustache” and anything related will always be amazing.
I’ve started using “bodied/to body someone” more often lately.
However, I think my all time favorite is probably still “Rush that shit down”. Too classic.
no its from a rap song
It’s not exactly slang, but anytime we play poverty games locally we just start swapping our “R’s” and “L’s”, just to get in that Japanese spirit.
Nothing like a night of Merty Broodu and Guirty Geal, and the Brazbroo.
Is there a link with translations into english of all these?
Any time I think I know what all the slang means another layer of food related references appears and I am yet again confused.
edit: American Unblockable and American Reset made me lol.
I nominate “Scrublockable” for when you alternate between lows and overheads when fighting a noob and they think you are using voodoo magic to defeat them.
I love the phrase “get in that ass”.
Especially hilarious when it’s used in Melty Blood – because some of the fighters are… well… “young”.
I dont play Smash Bros but I really like “wombo combo”
Omgwtfbbqsauce!
Canadian Reset
Canadian Reset: Hitting with an Ultra after a dropped combo because your opponent doesn’t block.
Coined by me during team matches in Canada Cup.
Baited.
codlike
Mexican uppercut and American unblockable are hands down my favs.
