Metroid Prime Hunters/Terms

There are many terms in MPH.

Lag
Lag is a very annoying and unwanted process involving two or more DS's not being in perfect sync. When you play online, you can't expect it to be perfect. Sometimes when you do something, the enemy's DS won't register it until moments later. Could be anywhere between half a second or three seconds. You have to predict what the enemy would do, see sniping.

Imp.
Simply short for imperialist.

Imper.
One who uses an Imp for his/her main weapon.

Imping
The art of using the Imp.

Shadow World
Shadow World is a term that refers to an area outside or the opposite of most of the 26 arenas. When outside an arena, there is often darkness surrounding and one wrong step means death. Players take advantage of these glitches to hide in walls and stalk around the arena in the opposite world of the arena, therefore rendered invisible except for a telltale shadow on the ground.

Hacker
A hacker is someone who has used a variety of cheat codes to essentially hack the game and gain an unfair advantage over other players. Outlined below are what identifies a hacker: Hackers, even though they may have immortality and the power of the OC on their side, often lack any if all skill. This can be used to opposing players' advantage.
 * 1) Invincibity
 * 2) Levitation/Enhanced Jumping
 * 3) Usage of arena inappropriate weapons
 * 4) Double Damage/Deathalt/Invisibilty when it is not possible to use those items (Invisibility can only be achieved with Trace while standing still, hmm...)

Glitcher
A glitcher is someone who takes advantage of an arenas glitches to get the upper hand. One example is Combat Hall, which is absolutely riddled with glitches. With a correctly placed Missile Push, they will pushed through the wall. Once inside the wall, they can pick of opponent's energy, but return fire will only harmlessly hit the wall that the glitcher is hiding behind/in.

D/C
d/c essentially means disconnect. Likewise, a d/cer is one who disconnects from the middle of a battle (Often afraid of losing the points, or just the humiliation of losing)
