Redpill me

>skill ceiling
>skill floor
>skill window

What the fuck does any of this shit mean? The fuck is a high or low skill ceiling or window or floor or kitchen cabinet

Is this a buzzword

You're fucking stupid

Stop abusing the term red pill, it's mainly reserved for the intelligent type and you sir lack it.

>skill ceiling
How good you can get on a game.
Games with a low skill ceiling don't take much to be played on a competitive level.
>skill floor
How good you need to be to even play and enjoy the game on a low level.
>skill window
Means nothing in particular.

Games should usually strive to have a low skill floor and a high skill ceiling.

>skill ceiling
The maximum reward obtainable by a class, race, job, character, etc. If the skill ceiling is really high, that means people with more skill get rewarded for it all the way up to professional level e.g. Melee. A lower skill ceiling means people of medium to professional skill are all rewarded the same way e.g. Hearthstone.

>skill floor
Can mean one of two things, depending on the speaker. It's either the amount of skill required to get ANY reward from it (so people who play poorly get NOTHING), or it's the reward you get for playing like shit. High skill floor can mean it needs a decent amount of skill to get some reward, or it means you get a decent reward even if you input fuck all.

>skill window
Doesn't exist.

Red pill is a buzzword and if you use it unironically you're probably not too intelligent yourself.

>skill floor
How much skill it takes to be on an okay level to play the game. (understanding the basics)

>skill ceiling
How much skill/knowledge/experience you need to be the absolute best. Generally scales exponentially.

An example of a low floor, low ceiling game would be something like mario kart. Easy to get into, not a whole lot going on and most people are on an even playing field, despite how much playtime they have.

A medium floor, high ceiling game would be most fighting games. Takes a bit to understand how moves work into each other, and takes an insane amount of practice and working knowledge to become the absolute best.

>skill window
>Means nothing in particular.
Skill window means how good you need to be to understand what's going on when you spectate a game

Here's a redpill for you: stop being a cancerous frogposter.

I believe skill window just means how much space there's between the floor and the ceiling.

who lives in the skill house

>not knowing about the skill chimney

>skill floor
How competent you have to be to play the game

>skill ceiling
The threshold to which competent play is rewarded

>skill window
I have no fucking idea.

What games have the best skills stairs and elevators?

stay the fuck out of the skill attic kiddo

SKILLHO

>not having a house thats good at video games

These are right

And I think skill window might mean how long it normally takes to git gud

Also skill width or breadth is another thing about how many different types of skill something takes.

>he doesn't have a skill mezzanine

>And I think skill window might mean how long it normally takes to git gud
that's retarded
the amount of time it takes to git gud is already implied through skill floor and ceiling

>tfw my skill housewife won't make me a skill sandwich
if this goes on, i'm gonna throw her out the skill door

the skill shed is where it's at

Anything you can cheat at
So Csgo
