Bosses are enemies that fight you at the end of a level or at a significant point in the story.
Typically found in fighting games, combos are a series of strung-together moves.
The ability to break a combo at either the auto-double or linker stage. Most commonly found in the Killer Instinct series. Also a famous internet meme.
The last boss you face in a game, usually representing the final climax of the game.
A common type of stage based around the fire and/or lava element. Often platforming heavy and inhabited by fire-based enemies.
Used in fighting games, projectiles are objects that a fighter can launch at another fighter to attack from a distance. While they can be used to simply inflict damage, projectiles are often used to maneuver opponents into disadvantageous positions.
SNK fighting games are notorious for boss fights of ludicrous difficulty. Common symptoms of SNK Boss Syndrome include absurdly high attack priority, overpowered special attacks, and AIs that read button inputs. Though it's most common in SNK games, the syndrome has also appeared in games by other companies.
Featured mainly in fighting games, special attacks usually require more than just pressing a button to activate. They are usually unique or at least varied between characters.
