Yeah, I'm new at the whole fighting games online thing. And no, no one has (yet) called me a scrub, but I've noticed the term comes up a lot in discussion.
Based on what I've seen, it seems like it means someone who thinks he's a total badass because he knows a few moves or a combo that beginners have a hard time defending against? But whose knowledge of the game is only very superficial and who is mostly helpless when he goes up against someone his one or two tricks don't work against? Who is then a very sore loser because he isn't really interested in learning and wants his magic trick to just keep on winning the day for him every time?
Please feel free to correct me where I'm wrong and fill any gaps in my understanding.
