Delay: Combo thats made by attacking side and than rapid jumping backwards. Effect should be that you begin attack, that is paused when you jump and than just after ladning you slash with already prepared attack. Most popular with red but can be done by every style.

DFA: (Death From Above): Attack performed by pressing <forward>+<attack> in Yellow and Red Single Saber styles. In Dual Sabers and Staff it is replaced by the Butterfly move (see above).

Fan (sometimes called "brooming"): attacking on sides(right-left-right-left) without rotating. Most popular amongst staffers and yellow style uesrs. There's also diagonal version of it, in which instead of moving sides u do diagonal left and than diagonal right attacking. That's why staffers are often called 'fanners'.

Flipkick: The move usually serving as a flip from the wall (you run on the wall, make a flip and land on the ground quickly) is called 'flipkick' when performed on other player. This move usually deals some damage and knock down the player on which it is used.

FPS: Frames Per Second - the speed of refreshing the screen. Human eye can see around 28 frames each second and so if the computer refreshes slower we may see the screen "framing" - the fluency of action is not correct. To boost FPS try lowering your graphics to give computer less work to do. (See: Commands Guide)

Game Console: Window, accessible from game by pressing left shift and tilde (~). It displays actions which were taken by game program, and allows to player to write commands.

Kata: Special movie that is made by clicking both right and left mouse button(at normal config) at one time. Also Staff / Duals attack made by crouching and than pressing <forward> and <attack>. The name comes from the japanse world describing the specially trained and choreographed sequences of attacks and defence ( often directed against imaginated opponent).

Lag: The delay of time between the Client (your computer) and Server. If it gets too big the effect is similar to "framing" done by too small FPS (see above). You may boost it by some commands (See: Commands Guide)
