Talk:Hitlag

This page may seem useless with the lag and flinch articles. However, I think there's a big distinction between them:

• Freeze frames are the lag that occurs with attacks.
• Flinching is when a character's current action is interrupted and cannot take action, not the fact that the character suffers lag.
• The lag article was to be split anyway, so maybe now it can only encompass Wi-Fi lag and TV lag.

I am going to push very hard against this one. "Freeze frame" isn't exactly an unknown term and is actually descriptive of the effect. "Hitlag" may be more popular, but it is extremely confusing when used in conjunction with the more set-in-stone "hitstun" - both terms sound like "the period of time after you're hit before you can do anything", so I think it would be to our benefit to only use one to major effect around the wiki. I also suggest that due to this similarity, "hitlag" doesn't sound like it can apply to damageable items and stage elements, which it indeed does.

Oppose. While Hitlag is way more used, as Toomai said, the similarity between that term and hitstun will probably be very confusing to readers, and one of the most important things on a wiki is readability IMO. Nyargleblargle (Contribs) 12:59, 22 April 2016 (EDT)
