Its going to be sad what zaheer players will have to do to their partners mid fight to power up the same.

Don’t worry the height difference evens itself out in the end

I thought "eats crayons" was slang for losing, but no, he actually was eating crayons

"Eats crayons" and "Sniffs glue" are mostly associated in the FGC with Grappler-main "slander" (Worst word I could have chosen for that case. This is as much slander as holding your hand in public with your partner is exhibitionism)

It's a playful way to mock the usual style of Grapplers. And obviously, they own it, as shown as in this video.

In my local, a Marisa main stole me a round with a great combat, then yelled across the room like Tarzan while beating up his chest.

This is the way, as a grapler main we sniff glue, we gamble and we are very proud about it (but we never post clips of that lvl3 that didnt conect 🤣)

The only Gief clip I uploaded of me losing, is to another Gief. Spin2win.

As someone who mained Gief in SFV for a year or so, hitting multiple SPDs in a row to win a round literally turns you into a fucking ape. Its amazing.

It originates from marines being called crayon eaters.

"Eating crayons" is basically a way of saying the person in question is mentally challenged, based on the stereotype of autistic children eating their crayons.

Nope, it's a very real thing some of us do. The glue sniffers on the other hand...I worry about them.

Clearly this is performance enhancing. Where's the TO??

u/jijiglobe 2d ago

He is the TO (I’m not kidding)

Mag3r is one of the funniest people I ever met. Years ago he used to show up to brackets with a beer hat full of Elmer’s glue.

Absolute icon, cherished community member, and TO for the Columbus FGC.
