What the heck is "greased lightning"?

I don't see the problem with him reaching out and asking us.
You may be surprised at the amount of people that don't and continue to play blissfully unaware of their shortcomings.

BTW Greased Lightning is "Shippujinrai" in the native original version which means something like Hurricane Swift Thunder/Lightning.


Thank you Koji Fox.

I’d prefer Hurricane Swift though.
Well just my taste.

Greased Lightning is what is used in FFVII by Yuffie for her LB. But again, localization can be a silly thing.

In this case a lot of Asian terms for martial arts translate to jibberish, and leaving them unlocalized makes players unable to say/type them. Those of us who watch a fair bit of anime or k-drama/j-drama's will usually recognize words that poorly translated but still get the context from the original audio track. FFXIV doesn't have any voiced combat moves, just a lot of "ha/ya's" and language-neutral screams.

So as far as we're concerned, the original translates no closer to "Greased Lightning" and is equally meaningless. If you translate the words separately Shippu jinrai, you get "compressed thunderclap" https://eudict.com/?lang=japeng&word=shippu+jinrai . Look up Shippu Jinrai and you'll mostly see references to Street Fighter 2's moveset for Ken.

Tbf, you'd kinda have to intentionally avoid combos entirely to make it up to Tornado Kick without ever experiencing or understanding GL stacks.

I'm curious about OPs rotation. OP. If you see this, what is usually your rotation on single targets?

But getting MNK to 62 and not knowing what Greased Lightning is? Suspension of disbelief only goes so far. This is like getting SMN to the 60s and asking what Aetherflow is.
