Newb/Newbie = new player.

Noob = clueless person who believes any of the following:

1) Tiers don't exist.
2) That chaingrabs are cheap/glitches
3) That they are the best *insert character here*
4) Final Smashes should be considered in tiers.
5) Every tournament should have items.
6) That No Items, Fox Only, Final Destination is true.

Thats a good sampling there.

To use a quote from childhood, "If you have to ask, you'll never know."

But it's not really a term with much room for interpretation. It means someone who's new. It comes from "newbie", meaning someone who's new at something. It's also used on people who lack skill, disregarding how long they've been doing something. That is a noob.

Your best bet of a good definition, basically.

This is my understanding of the newbie vs noob definition too

Newbie's grow out of their ignorance and become better; noobs have been taught/been told by better players what the higher points of the game are/how to get better, but they just ignore it and think they're the ****

All opinion. I think the newer ones were boring, but the old ones are classic

it's one of those movies you have to see though, like godfather and such.
The old ones are indeed classic, but the new ones suffer not from boredom, but from bad screen writing, and even worse acting *cough* teen Anakin *cough*

But this is what makes it boring. Bad acting and bad writing makes the movie a painful experience to sit through

True, but if Anakin had been played by someone even somewhat capable, I think the trilogy could've been redeemed and the script made better - see recent Will Smith movies, I Am Legend in particular - terrible script, but excellent acting made up for it, and a potentially terrible movie was made pretty good (not great, but pretty good)

That . . . is awesome. 'Nuff said

Is this thread about "What a noob is" or is it about watching Boring episodes about "Star Wars"
Im confused here? But a Noob isnt somebody who complains about something being cheap
it has nothing to do with whining everybody whines in every game, even good
players, but if they ask you more than 11 questions about the game then their most likley a NOOB

a n00b is just a new player who doesnt know how to play good and you cant really make fun of them because we were all n00bs at some point in our lives

There's a difference between 'Being new to a game' and 'Being bad at a game and not admitting it'

A noob is someone who has no sense of game play or the internet and rules.

So basically you are a noob.

One whose time and experience with the given subject does not match the usual level of greatness at that subject that usually comes with that certain time and experience. Prodigy is an antonym. Not to be confused with newbie, one who has very little time and experience with the given subject and therefore doesn't have the level of greatness of others, who have had more time and experience.

If you wish to know more about the psychology of n00bs, go to the Urban Dictionary link posted earlier.

As for me, I am a lazy newbie.

n00bs and scrubs are pretty synonymous, right? both of them think certain AT's are "cheap," think chaingrabs are "cheap," think edgehoggin is "cheap," and basically just make up their own set of rules that they think you should follow, that they maybe don't follow themselves. a n00b also typically assumes they're much better than they actually are.
