メタ
Significado: Meta — the most effective strategies, character picks, or team compositions in a game's current version.
Borrowed directly from English 'meta' (short for metagame), メタ refers to the dominant strategies and top-tier choices that define the competitive landscape of a game at any given time. The phrase メタが変わった (the meta has changed) is a common reaction to patches and balance updates. Used both in competitive and casual gaming discourse.
Ejemplos
- 最新パッチでメタが大きく変わったらしいよ。 听说最新补丁让meta发生了很大变化。Parece que el meta ha cambiado mucho con el último parche.최신 패치로 메타가 크게 바뀌었다고 하더라.
- 今のメタだとこのキャラ強すぎてみんな使ってる。 当前meta下这个角色太强了,大家都在用。Con el meta actual, este personaje es demasiado fuerte y todo el mundo lo usa.지금 메타에서는 이 캐릭터가 너무 강해서 다들 쓰고 있어.
- メタ無視してもクリアできるけど効率は落ちる。 不跟meta也能通关,但效率会降低。Puedes pasarte el juego ignorando el meta, pero la eficiencia baja.메타 무시해도 클리어할 수 있지만 효율은 떨어져.
