Usually, when I play PVP games I say “easy kill” when I headshots someone within the first minutes of gameplay. But how do you say it in Japanese? Or do there exist other terms of slang for when you have a really easy time during gameplay?
Become an expert in the subject by purchasing a Japanese junior highschool kokugo study book. You’ll find that the grammar we all learn as objective learners is completely different from what Japanese learn. The way we learn is focused on how we understand grammar from English. Learning in Japanese will deepen your understanding.
Edit. I’m two strongzeros in mad misread this as grammar terms. Gamer terms? I wish I could help.
I’m not sure if Japanese gamers would say “easy kill” before or after killing someone. My Japanese friends when they trash talk they usually would just say “下手くそ” (hetakuso) or something along those lines. But if you mean when they are low HP in my experience they usually just say “ロウ” several times, or “めっちゃロウ” (mecharou) literally the katakana version of the word “low”, or when “mecha” is added it further amplifies the word almost indicating a sort of translation for “one hp” in a way. I hope this helped and if anyone knows a direct translation or a better way to put it please stitch this comment.
also interested in hearing if there’s a quick reference guide for terms as well. there’s a public feedback link for harvestella on the japanese site and i’d like to respond in japanese, but i’m a bit lost on what words are used for “dodge”, “guard”, “i-frames”, etc
This might not be in the most convenient format, but… [here’s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyQIN32Gpos) a stream archive of an English-speaking and a Japanese-speaking vtuber trying to teach each other FPS terms (Apex-focused) so they can play together. Someone has posted timestamps in the comments which might help.
