The Fighting Game Glossary Is The Perfect Tool To Learn Key Fighting Game Terms
/ Carlos HernandezLearning a new fighting game usually takes a lot of time and with each game having a passionate community around it, a few terms and lingo develop over time and it can be sometimes confuse or intimidate new players hoping to learn how the game works. The Fighting Game Glossary aims to make things a tad easier for new and returning players with detailed explanation of each term you’ll need to know about a fighting game.
The glossary is called The Fighting Game Glossary and it has over 650 terms from 14 different fighting games; Super Smash Bros, Street Fighter, SoulCalibur, Mortal Kombat, Guilty Gear, Tekken, Killer Instinct, Marvel vs. Capcom, BlazeBlue, Dragon ball FighterZ, Under Night In-Birth, Samurai Shodown, King of Fighters, and Injustice.
Heard someone say “shoto” or “plick” during Street Fighter talks, streams, and discussions? A quick search through the glossary and it will explain terms like these in the simplest way. Some terms are also given videos that visually show how it looks like in action.
I’ve looked through the website and it’s pretty extensive. The website is easy to navigate and the explanation is quick and easy to understand, making it friendly to any type of player. It’s a great tool that all players should bookmark for those moments when you hear some sort of jargon and need a quick explanation.
Introducing The Fighting Game Glossary. Over 650 terms carefully explained with 200+ video examples and Japanese translations. Easily search by term or game, share links to terms with your friends, and explore related concepts without losing your place.https://t.co/CX98RjD5qd pic.twitter.com/K2z5E6ZA0L

FGC veteran Ricky, or better known as Infil, led the project and it took him and those involved 9 months to get the work done. An impressive effort for a tool given for free to everyone that wants to learn more about their fighting games.
I’m going to keep this glossary in my back pocket as Guilty Gear Strive is just around the corner. A series that I barely play and know but eager to learn how the game works and hopefully reach a level where I properly utilize all of the game’s tools and features.

It’s easy to describe Animal Well as a puzzle-focused Metroidvania eschewing traditional combat, where nearly every room is a puzzle room, but that falls so far short of describing just what this game is and how expertly it defies genre and classification that it feels like a disservice. Animal Well is a paragon of the art form, a game that simply must be experienced.
