      THE SCRUB DICTIONARY

      AKUMA (np): See GOOD (1).

      CHEAP (adj): (1) Any move or tactic usable by a character other than Ryu, Ken
      or Akuma which can consistently defeat the scrub's Ryu, Ken or
      Akuma.
      (Stop using that jumping super move with Birdie! You're so cheap!)

      CHEAP (adj): (2) Any character other than Ryu, Ken or Akuma is considered
      either "cheap" or "shitty". The definition of these terms varies
      between tribes and between arcades. In general, a character is
      considered "cheap" if the leader of the tribe regularly loses to
      players using that character. Otherwise, the character is consi-
      dered to be "shitty". For example, at an arcade with few or no
      Guy players, Guy would be considered shitty, but if the arcade
      were frequented by a Guy player who could beat the leader of the
      local scrub tribe using Guy, Guy would be considered cheap.
      (You better not pick a cheap guy like Adon or I'll kick your ass!)

      CHEAP (adj): (3) Jumping over, hitting or otherwise avoiding Akuma's "Death
      Move" (q.v.)
      (I finally got that move to work and you knocked me out of it!
      You're cheap!)

      CHEAP (adj): (4) Any throw, including Birdie's Murderer Chain, Sodom's Power-
      bomb, Zangief's SPD and Rose's Soul Throw.

      [Editor's Note: In certain regions, the word "cheap" is invariably preceded by
      the adjective "fucking". This seems to be a dialect variation with no seman-
      tic significance whatsoever.]

      CHEAP (vt): To use any of the tactics described by the three adjectival mean-
      ings of the word "cheap".
      (Stop cheaping me or I'll kick your ass.)

      COMBO (n): Technique performed by pressing 3 buttons and subsequently pres-
      sing FIERCE as fast as humanly possible until the screen flashes
      bright blue or the opponent's character is more than half the
      screen away.
      (Wow! Did you see that guy's 12 hit combo?)

      DEATH MOVE: The SC performed by Akuma or "Evil Ryu" with JAB, JAB, --O, SHORT,
      FIERCE. According to generally accepted scrub doctrine, it is
      this move which makes Akuma and "Evil Ryu" the most powerful of
      all the good (q.v.) characters.
      (Why are you using normal Ryu? He doesn't even have a Death Move!)

      GOOD (adj): (1) Referring to a character, either Ryu, Ken or Akuma.
      (You're using Rose?!?! Why aren't you using someone good?)

      GOOD (adj): (2) Referring to a player, either someone who knows all the secret
      character codes in SFA, or who has defeated the leader of the
      tribe with a shitty (q.v.) character. In the former case, the
      term is one of respect; in the latter case, the character used
      by the "good" player will soon be reclassified from shitty to
      cheap (q.v.).
      (Ed's good at Alpha! He knows how to get Akuma and Bison!)
      (Don't fight that guy, he's good! He beat Ed's Akuma 4 times in
      a row with Guy!)

      KEN (np): See GOOD (1).

      KEN, EVIL: Dark green-coloured Ken obtained by pressing 2 kick buttons.
      (The green Ken is Evil Ken and he can do Akuma's death move, but
      no one here knows how to do it except one guy who only comes in
      once a month!)
      [Editor's Note: The editor actually heard this, or something very close to it,
      from a young scrub in an arcade. It would appear that the belief in "Evil
      Ken" is some sort of fairy-tale taught to juvenile scrubs which most outgrow
      as they grow older, similar to the belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy
      in our culture.]

      KEN, SUPER: White-coloured Ken obtained by pressing 2 punch buttons in SFA2.
      (The white Ken is Super Ken! He's faster and his uppercut takes
      off more!)
      [Editor's Note: See note under "Ken, Evil".]

      KICK (n): (1) General term for a technique involving one of the lower three
      buttons.

      KICK (vt): (2) To kick (person)'s ass: Typical form of punishment for a
      scrub accused of being "cheap" (q.v.). The exact nature of this
      punishment is unknown; typically, the recipient is removed from
      the arcade by the largest members of the tribe, and reappears
      somewhat later, sometimes with bruises or other symptoms of corp-
      oral punishment. Scrubs have been known to threaten to inflict
      this punishment on other inhabitants of arcades, but as far as is
      known, no such threat has ever been carried out.

      RYU (np): See GOOD (1).

      RYU, EVIL: See GOOD (1).

      SHITTY (adj):See CHEAP (2).
