Line 3:
** [[Sdrawkcab Name|Rodney - The Wizard of Yendor]].
** Team Ant, Team a - The Ant class of monsters, the most common cause of player death on public [[Nethack]] servers. Announcements of player death by Soldier Ant are accompanied by shouts of "GO TEAM ANT!"
** Rubber Chicken - Corpse of a cockatrice, which [[One -Hit Kill|petrifies]] anything touching it. Often used as weapon (don't forget your gloves), by literally bashing enemies it with, and a cause of many accidental deaths.
** Foocubus - Generic term for any [[Horny Devils|incubus or succubus]].
** Gnome With A Wand Of Death - Any low level monster with an unusually powerful weapon.
Line 14:
* ''[[Planet Side]]''
** ''"Biffers"'' - [[BF Rs]]/"Battle-Frame Robotics" aka "Big Fucking Robots"
** The three factions, which are [[Colour -Coded for Your Convenience]], are known to some players as:
*** Smurfs (the blue New Conglomerate)
*** Elmos (the red Terran Republic)
Line 48:
** [[Olympus Mons|PokéGod]] - A nickname jokingly used for Arceus.
*** Also used before Diamond/Pearl as a reference to the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Template:GlitchPkmn glitch 'Pokémon'] in Red/Blue/Yellow (people tried to pass them off as actual [[Mons]] once, if [http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/gameboy/file/367023/5741 this] is anything to go by...).
*** Also, God-Pony and God-[[EverythingsEverything's Better With Llamas|Llama]].
*** Plus, Space goat.
** Chesty/Chesto Resting - the combination of Rest (which heals you but puts you to sleep) and the Chesto Berry (which wakes you up again).
Line 65:
** [[Sesame Street (TV)|Ernie and Bert]]: Sawk and Throh, a pair of Muppet-like Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]''.
** Only King and Only God - Flareon and Entei (respectively) in Japan, mockingly referring to how bad they are on the competitive metagame simply because GameFreak will refuse to give them moves that put their high Physical Attack to good use. So while every other old Fire-type gets new tricks, they [[Can't Catch Up]].
** Fans finally got so fed up with [[Spell My Name With an "S"|Ghetsis/Gichisu/Geechisu/Geechis/Geecis/Geetis]]'s name that they dubbed him Gaycheese.
*** Because of the [[Mondegreen|easily-misheard]] [[Ominous Latin Chanting|Ominous Name Chanting]] in his theme music, "Dennis" has become rather popular as well. (Before it was known to belong to Ghetsis, the theme and "DENNIS" were also associated with [[Olympus Mons|Genesect]] - again, the mondegreen comes into play.)
** Pansage, Pansear, Panpour, and their evolutions tend to collectively referred to as the "elemental monkeys", due to their basis on the commonly-associated types of Fire, Water, and Grass.
Line 134:
** [[Mega Man X (Video Game)|X-Buster]] - The Rail Gun, another [[Arm Cannon]], but blue and a bit more deadly.
** The Fist - The Counter Sword, which relies on a giant gauntlet for its most powerful attacks.
*** CS Spam - nickname for the Counter Sword, used by those who feel that it is [[Game Breaker|overpowered]] and that [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys|using it makes you an idiot]].
* ''[[Saints Row]]"
** The offical tag for the protagonist is 'The Leader of the Third Street Saints', but fans shortened this to '(The) Boss'.
Line 247:
*** Which is actually the name that was officially given to it in the ''[[Street Fighter Alpha (Video Game)|Street Fighter Alpha]] 2'' manual.
*** Also "Tian" ("Heaven") among Chinese players, after the kanji that flashes on Akuma's back during this move.
** Tasting the Rainbow - Getting hit by Gill's "Seraphic Wing" [[One -Hit Kill]], which is a rainbow-colored circle.
** Thunder Thighs - Chun-Li, whose hips are her most defining feature.
*** "Chunbuns" is also popular.
Line 269:
** Shotos (or [[Shotoclone|Shotoclones]]) - Ryu, Ken, Akuma (Gouki), Dan, Sean and Gouken collectively get called this. The name comes from Capcom's designation of Ryu and Ken's fighting style as "Shotokan Karate" in the early English localizations of ''[[Street Fighter II (Video Game)|Street Fighter II]]'' (the style was never actually given a name per se in the original Japanese canon). This is also the term given to other so-called Ryu/Ken-types (such as [[Captain America]] in ''Marvel Super Heroes'').
** In the wake of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0lLd9Wgsgk new] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PInwiG8LR9E Ultra] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw7KozPJALw Combos] for ''[[Capcom Sequel Stagnation|Super]] [[Updated Rerelease|Street]] [[Sequelitis|Fighter]] [[Interquel|IV]]'', there have been ''several''.
*** (Demon/Shin) Roflcopter, Shun Goku [[Beyblade]], [[Looney Tunes|Akumanian Devil]], Akumacopter - Akuma's Demon Armageddon, which is a [[Hurricane Kick]] cranked [[Up to Eleven]] with [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Spinning|more spinning action]] and is deemed by some to be too over-the-top for [[Warrior Poet|a]] [[Blood Knight|guy]] [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|like]] [[Badass|him]]. May or may not have anything to do with a similar scene in Proxicide's famous fanwork ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4-js6TKPBc Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat 3]'', which garnered similar effects. Needless to say, [[Internet Backdraft|the fans are not pleased]].
*** Souloboros - Rose's Soul Satellite, which is very similar to [[Strider (Video Game)|Strider]] Hiryu's Ouroboros super from the ''[[Capcom vs. Whatever|Marvel vs. Capcom]]'' series.
*** "'''FOR MOTHER RUSSIA!!'''" & "'''I AM THE PROTECTOR OF RUSSIA'S SKIES!!'''" - Zangief's first and second Ultras, respectively. The first can also be applied to good 'ol Gief himself.
*** Gen's new [[Touch of Death|Shi'tengetsu]] [[Rapid Fire Fisticuffs|Ultra]] has earned him the nickname of [[Fist of the North Star|Genshiro]] in some circles.
*** And the game itself has been christened by some people as ''[[EverythingsEverything's Better With Spinning|Super Spin Fighter IV]]''.
** ''Ken Fighter IV'' - See the picture on [[Complacent Gaming Syndrome]]. Sometimes, it's followed by the subtitle "''Sagat Strike''".
*** Before that, there was ''Chun Fighter III: Ken Strike - Yun for the Future'', thanks to the mass character balancing in ''III: Third Strike'' shuffling around ''all'' of the [[Character Tiers]]. Some characters (like Sean) were severely [[Nerf|nerfed]] while Chun-Li, Ken, and Yun were thrust into top-tier. Now you know why videos of [[Tournament Play]] will usually involve those three characters (with Akuma, popping up at times).
Line 287:
*** Mama Luigi - Luigi in the [[Super Mario World (Animation)|cartoon]] allegedly based on ''Super Mario World'', thanks to the episode "Mama Luigi," which gave birth to many [[Memetic Mutation|memes]] and [[Youtube Poop|YouTube Poops]] (then he got frowned upon in the latter for overuse).
*** Emo Luigi - Luigi in a scene in the ''SMW'' cartoon episode "Gopher Bash", where he assumes a [[Troubled Fetal Position]] and cries, "~It's All My Fault~!"
** Fat Mario - Mario in ''[[Hotel Mario (Video Game)|Hotel Mario]]'' for the [[So Bad ItsIt's Good|CD-i]], named for his weight shifting in the cutscenes.
** Rainbow Bowser for the final Bowser fight in ''[[Super Mario 64 (Video Game)|Super Mario 64]]''.
** Marty the Thwomp from ''[[Mario Kart 64 (Video Game)|Mario Kart 64]]''.
Line 302:
** Space Animals - A collective term for the characters [[Star Fox (Video Game)|Fox, Falco, and Wolf]] (and sometimes Captain Falcon as well).
*** Sometimes Space Furries, which, in addition to being more derogatory, conveniently has the same initials as the source series.
** Seraphic Wing - Tabuu's attack in which he spreads his wings, sending out red waves that deal incredible damage and, on higher difficulties, are a [[One -Hit Kill]]. The official name of the attack is "Off Waves"; the nickname comes from the ''[[Street Fighter III (Video Game)|Street Fighter III]]'' boss Gill, who has a [[One -Hit Kill]] of that name that also involves spreading angelic wings (in his case it sends out a rainbow, hence its Taste the Rainbow nickname above).
*** Red Rings of Death - Another name for this bloody attack. Not to be confused with a certain [[Xbox 360|other]] system-crashing ring (but might be named after that due to its [[Take That]] potential).
** Thanks, Sakurai - name used whenever something undesired happens (such as [[Scrappy Mechanic|tripping]])
Line 315:
** Marshmallow Power - Lucario's Final Smash, officially Aura Storm. Lucario says "Watch the power of Aura"; players misheard this over the game's background music.
*** [[Dragonball|Kamehameha]] - Named because of how it's performed, and because Lucario in the anime is played by [[Sean Schemmel]], Goku's voice actor (though not in ''Brawl'').
** [[Jo JosJo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|ZA WARUDO]] - Luigi's Final Smash, officially Negative Zone. Inverts colors and possibly slows down the enemy.
** The Guido Torpedo, Fist of the Don, Shoryuken - Luigi's Smash+B and Up+B super moves. The former is for when he launches himself headfirst at the enemy (and will sometimes explode and take off like a bullet). The latter's nickname only applies when Luigi executes the move at point blank range, resulting in about 30-40% damage and rocketing the opponent straight up into the air.
** Captain Fabulous - [[F-Zero|Captain Falcon]] when wearing his [[Memetic Outfit|incredibly fabulous]] pink and white racing suit.
Line 348:
** [[Fun With Acronyms|Dimensional Infinite Cape of the Knight]] - derogatory nickname for Meta Knight's [http://www.ssbwiki.com/Infinite_Dimensional_Cape Infinite Dimensional Cape] trick, which involves abusing C-stick smashes to have Meta Knight's up-smash and Dimensional Cape [[Spam Attack|simultaneously]] [[Game Breaker|and endlessly]] which has been banned from Tournament Play.
*** Meta Knight's final smash is often referred to as "The Rape Cape."
*** Centripedal-Man for Meta Knight himself, many of his attacks, including all his special moves, involve [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Spinning|spinning.]]
** Halt, evildoer, lest you feel the awesome might of the KNEE OF JUSTICE!!!! (Cpt. Falcon's farcically powerful aerial side-smash.)
** Ganondorf's Elbow of Injustice, another name for his powerful side smash.
Line 354:
** AIDS Blade - Kirby's Up+B smash. Seriously, listen to it.
** Goth (Fallen Angel) Pit = Pit in his black outfit.
** [[GodwinsGodwin's Law|Nazi]] = Lucas (given his Aryan appearance)
** Puff Punch = Jigglypuff's Pound move. Been in the community ever since the first ''Super Smash Bros'' game, in fact.
** Lysol Strike - Link's Down+A aerial attack. Because when one does this, it kills '''everything''', "even the bacteria on the ground".
Line 376:
** "The Holy Trinity" - Refers to the triumvirate of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'', ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' and ''[[Getter Robo]]'', which fans consider pivotal in nearly every SRW, as each franchise arguably codify the [[Real Robot]], [[Super Robot]] and [[Combining Mecha]]/TransformingMecha archetypes of [[Humongous Mecha]], respectively.
** [[Fist of the North Star|Kenshiro]] - Folka Albark from ''[[Super Robot Wars Compact 3]]'', after ''Original Generation Gaiden'' made the latter look like a walking pastiche of the former.
** Lamia3/Lamia MK III - The nickname for Lamia when she was under control of Duminuss of ''[[Super Robot Wars Reversal]]'' in ''Original Generation Gaiden''. Noted because her personality's different and she bemeans/terrorizes the heroes on purpose, to the point that [[The Scrappy|she gained a bit of a hatedom]]. The "3/MK III" refers to the third time Lamia was built with a different personality: first at birth, second after a [[Self -Destruct Mechanism]] failed to destroy her (later repaired by her creator) and third following a [[Big Bad Wannabe]] seemingly killing her, until Duminuss repairs and reformats her for its own use. She reverts back to the second form, thanks to a [[Heel Face Turn|Heel Face Turning]] {{spoiler|Axel}}.
** Loli-Sleigh - Despoiniz/Despinis, one of the homunculi of Duminuss, as she has [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|long blue hair]], similar to Sleigh Presty of ''[[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Alpha 2]]''. Personality-wise, though, it's a totally different story.
*** And due to how her name is spelled, she's also sometimes referred jokingly as "[[Unfortunate Implications|Deathpenis]]".
Line 383:
** OG Numbers - The collective heroes of ''Original Generation'', derived from the canon name "Alpha Numbers" used by the heroes of the ''[[Super Robot Wars Alpha]]'' series.
** [[The Powerpuff Girls]] - Festenia Muse, Melua Melna Meia, and Katia Grineal from ''[[Super Robot Wars Judgment]]'': a [[Blonde Brunette Redhead]] in blue, green and pink, respectively.
** Princess Moo/Cow - ''[[Super Robot Wars Compact 2]]'' Excellen Browning's [[Expy]] Kaguya Nanbu from the spinoff ''[[Endless Frontier]]''. White-black clothes, check; [[Most Common Superpower|very huge]] [[Gag Boobs|milk-producing parts]], check; [[Stripperific|clothes that manage to reveal a lot, yet look blatantly too tight for her]], check. It's official: she ''is'' a "Dairy Cow Princess" (the [[In -Series Nickname]] coined by what Lamia [[Expy]] Aschen Brodel).
** Sexsuko - Setsuko Ohara, the resident hottie of ''[[Super Robot Wars Z]]''.
*** Also known less charitably as "Blandsuko" in parts of 4chan and GameFaqs in the days leading up to ''Z's'' release, given her generic qualities in every area but appearance before her status as Asakim's [[Chew Toy]] was apparent. Others are "[[Wangst|Wangstuko]]" and "Setsubou", a play on the Japanese word "zetsubou", meaning "despair". The latter [[Makes Sense in Context]] when you [[Darker and Edgier|go through]] [[Diabolus Ex Machina|her route]] in ''Z''
