Is calling your replay a "Superplay" indicative or arrogant?

Post by Erik_Twice »

Honest question. I often see the term "Superplay" used to indicate videos of great gaming skill. Is it good gaming ettiquete to do so? It would be incorrect to use terms like Speedrun if you aren't actually speedrunning and just saying it's a "gameplay video" doesn't say much.

Thoughts?

Good question. On first thoughts its a big arrogant to suggest that you own vid is a 'superplay', but then how else are we to tell the difference between those and the general videos of average skilled players?

I think speedrun is fine, as it labels the video as an attempt to be fast, but like you say it doesnt fit all games.

Maybe if rather than Superplay, they were labelled as Skilled Play, or High Score/100% run or something less cocky.
