Yomi

A term which came from the Virtua Fighter community, but, for various reasons, including David Sirlin's Web Articles/Book on Playing to Win, it has spread to all fighting games.

Yomi is a Japanese term meaning "Knowing the mind of the opponent", and is essentially an intangible asset required in fighting games. It's the ability to know what your opponent is going to do, and act appropriately. Whether you achieve this by "conditioning" the opponent to act one way, and then acting in another way, or simply work your way into the head of your opponent, yomi is just that: the ability to know what your opponent is going to do.

I got owned by an insane Akuma rushdown. He kept hitting me with flip throws and flip kicks, so I decided to shut him up with a wake up Shoryuken. He parried it and punished with a Raging Demon! Talk about yomi.

yomah

'Yomah' is a fucking sick cunt who gets a little bit rowdy when he is on the piss, and will go out of his comfort zone and make the night enjoyable for every one around him.

When Dave got his yomah on he became the life of the party, throwing a fist in the air and shouting "YOOOOOOMAAAAAAAAH!" at the top of his lungs.

Jim: “Hey, hey, hey! That goal is all the way from my country to f Yamaica! Take care of it.

Ty: “Are you from Jamaica and you just say it funny, or is it totally different place?”
Jim: “Say the word, ‘Yam.’”
Ty: “Yam”

Yomara

The girl who is the best friend of the group. maybe considered a "mother" sometimes. The one who fights for her friends and is very stoical. keeps a straight face with any situation or problem. Gorgeous, kind, loving, and serious. but don't be fooled by her seriousness there is a playful side to that. Who is not to afraid to try things. She may hold her sadness from problems involving personal problems, but she keeps a smile 24/7.

"Sometimes being like Yomara is the only way to be happy, but I will always be the Best at everything"

Yomance

An up and down romance. Very rocky and unsteady romance like a yo-yo.

Man, Sydney and Ron’s relationship is a total yomance. This morning they hated each other fighting, now they’re shopping for engagement rings.

Selena and Justin Bieber? Perfect example of a yomance... more on-and-off than anyone.

Nah, we are nothing serious. It’s a yomance, nothing too consistent.
