クリップ

• 読み: クリップ
• ローマ字: kurippu
• 発音: /kɯ.ɾip.pɯ/

意味

A short recorded highlight clip of an impressive play, saved and shared on social media or streaming platforms.

Borrowed from English 'clip,' クリップ in gaming culture specifically refers to short recorded segments capturing standout moments — clutch plays, funny bugs, or impressive skill. Platforms like Twitch's clip feature and Twitter made sharing クリップ a core part of gaming culture in the 2010s. Taking a クリップ of someone's mistake is also common for comedic purposes.
