Scrub Check

noun. Similar to a skill check in TTRPGs, it is an impassable obstacle in a video game that is intended to ensure that the player has enough skill/knowledge/technique to proceed.

Generally used in game design because the player will genuinely not be able to defeat the game's challenges without learning to play better. e.g. Celeste's crystal hearts, non-optional soulslike bosses, etc.

A Scrub Check is NOT the padding out of a game by implementing sidequests, mandatory items, etc., it is rather the implementing of a hard limit/difficulty spike that a player without the requisite skill cannot pass.
"Ugh, I can't get past this huge barrier in chapter 9."
"Yeah, that's the Scrub Check for the rest of the level. Trust me, you are not going to win unless you know how to wavedash and wallbounce. The bonus levels will teach you."

bubba scrub

A racing technique used in motocross to conserve forward momentum over jumps.

Named after James "Bubba" Stewart, arguably the creator/expert of the technique.

The pilot of the bike will transfer the bike sideways while riding off the face of a jump, so that the bike will have a lower trajectory, which in turn decreases the amount of time spent in the air.
