Salt

Salt, also known as table salt, or rock salt, is a crystalline mineral that is composed primarily of sodium chloride (NaCl), a chemical compound belonging to the larger class of ionic salts.

In the Jackie Chan's Fists of Fire community, salt is a byproduct of being the losing dude, and not being happy about it.

History
No one can be certain exactly when the saltiness began in the FoF community. Common origin stories include the first time Doritos1974 competed, or more recently, when Citizen Pain joined the competitive circuit. Needless to say, it has become an intrinsic part of the scene, though the value of this fine mineral is debated to this day.

Forms of salt
Salt come in many forms.

Unrefined salt

 * The type of salt most commonly believed to come from Citizen Pain. Unrefined salt is sheer raw anger, disappointment, and resentment, and usually takes the place of various sarcastic remarks undermining the performance of other players, sometimes even while on a live stream mic.

Refined salt

 * The specialty of Doritos1974, refined salt is salt that has been carefully brewed and restrained, being finally released in a barrage of aggression and violence. In the community, this type of salt often reaches its finest expression in the deathmatch.

Table salt

 * When salt is dealt with and the salty player moves on, this salt can be considered table salt.

Iodized salt

 * Iodized salt occurs when someone is only able to table their salt with the spilling of blood (which resembles iodine).

Health effects
Too much salt can fuck a person up, no doubt. High blood pressure, broken knuckles from wall punches gone awry, and many other side effects have been known to happen to players with too much salt. Not to mention getting wanted by the law.

Lowering salt in diet

 * Calm it down, bro.

Production
Salt is produced in the hearts and minds of disgruntled players everywhere, but also in a mine under Lake Erie.
