A friend of mine is starting something like this:

http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=9665&highlight=glossary

only for fighting games.

Any experts here willing to help out?

edit: or does this sort of thing already exist somewhere?

Supposedly http://www.shoryuken.com/wiki/ , but it’s all glitchy and i doubt it’s ever maintained.

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Fighting_game_terms

Why isn’t SRK’s FGD in the “External Links” section of that page?

that’s not a very extensive list of terms.
it’s a shame there isn’t a complete lexicon of fighting game terminology, since the lingo is just another barrier for novices to overcome if they want to get into fighters.

i’ve been lurking on and off here for a year and still have trouble figuring out what people are talking about sometimes.
