I doubt "salty" comes from Skullgirls. I heard it often in a school that didn't have anyone dealing in fighting games and before SG's popularity (Urban Dictionary even has similar definitions from years before release). I'm not sure if "Kappa" is a good entry; if it belongs, it definitely did not originate "with the fighting game community", it's a Twitch thing
(→General terms: We have a term for it. "Hitpause" is a thing; seen it in the files for another game. Not sure how widespread it is though) |
