<sub>This is what i was talking about. See how simple it is, and easy to remember. No one's going to remember that playing the game, especially on a controller.

FYI its from SC2+3 so here's my contributions.</sub>

Let's pretend I'm trying to tell somebody how to perform a combo. For example, here's one for Taki:

4A+B, B,A~A+K, B+G.

Using the format Final Blade posted, I'd have to say this:

Press Directional Button Left + Triangle and Square, then press Triangle, Square, followed quickly by Square + Circle. Then finally press Triangle + X.

Now... which method of SC Lingo looks easier to type down?

And that's a relatively short and simple one. Imagine how long it'd take for more in-depth discussion. =_=

The SC Terminology that SoulCalibur players use on the internet makes it a lot more simple and quicker to communicate.
