Truly understand the meaning of words

Mr. Kotetsun4 (Kotetsun4) is well-known as the live commentator for CoD series tournaments in Japan.

During the live broadcast of a MWII tournament, he saw a player doing Snaking and said something like this.

"I will refrain from saying what this is called, but...

I think it's called that because it looks like it's pressing against the shin."

Shin = Sune in Japanese, and sounds like snake.

We Japanese people call Suneguri as snake glitch.


Snaking is a trick often used by professional players in MWII, in which they quickly repeat crouching and standing in front of a cover that is large enough to show their heads, and simultaneously evade attacks from the enemy, search for the enemy, and counterattack.

Since the enemy will gradually poke their head out of the cover, even if you can see them, it will be difficult for them to hit you with bullets (almost never hit you), and those who use snaking are quite useful because you can catch the enemy's appearance and take advantage of the surprise before shooting.

The true origin of Suneguri's name is Snake Glitch, perhaps because the way he crouches and stands makes his body sway and resemble a snake.

The original meaning of glitch is "fault", and it seems to be used in games to take advantage of bugs and loopholes that were not intended by the game developer to advance the game to an advantage.

When Kotetsun4 confused the meaning of Suneguri as a commentator, several listeners carefully explained the meaning of Suneguri in the comment section. 

I wouldn't go so far as to say that glitches are cheats, but many of them are recognized as cheating, and as an officially invited commentator, he probably wanted to avoid using them.

In addition to words that are prohibited from being broadcast on television, there are also a number of words that should be avoided for professional reasons such as announcers.


When it comes to YouTubers, some people try not to use bugs or lag in their videos.


In fact, Suneguri had such a bad reputation that it was banned from tournaments in past CoD BO2 tournaments.


Of course, MWII's Suneguri is not like that.


The reason why Kotetsuna intentionally did not use the word ``suneguri'' is probably due to his professionalism as a commentator, considering the impression of the word glitch, rather than the right or wrong of the act.
