User:Ultra64Detective2401/Terminology

Within my subpages and posts, I use terminology what may seem a bit different to how other users use terminology. Not only that, some of you may be new to the terminology we use around here anyways. So, I’ll be using this page to explain what I mean by the jargon I use here.

Anomaly:A phenomenon within the game that does not follow the base code of the game.

Under this definition, Backwards Long Jump is not an anomaly, just a glitch. A glitch that was patched in later releases of the game. However, the absence of the BLJ (in non-Shindou versions of the game) would be considered an anomaly. Rule of thumb:if on an “unpersonalized” copy (PF1 or below, I wouldn’t call them unpersonalized since every copy is personalized, but the wiki uses the term [thankfully with the quotes]), the thing happens, it’s probably not an anomaly. If it doesn’t happen on an “unpersonalized” copy, it is an anomaly.

Personalization Factor:A measure of how personalized a copy of the game is. I have a subpage about it here.

(This subpage will be updated as I use more terms.)
