I'll reply to this one with the actual discussion--uh, strategies are like, individual things that can stem up from how the game works. Like, you can have a strategy of making sure you focus more on dodging than shooting, and looking for particular weapons because you like them better. For one, I like bullet weapons on Fish, and then I like to get Recycle Gland, just because I feel having a spray weapon and a roll is nice for me, personally. That's a strategy. The metagame would be more to say that, like, many Fishes take bullet weapons because his active and passive are particularly good with high-shots per second weapons that consume a lot of ammo, particularly bullet weapons with recycle gland, especially after you get Gun Warrant and can shoot even more and regain ammo without spending any. It helps him stay very well topped off. So, the metagame is sort of the reasoning around a strategy, and the combination-whole of what you get when you combine alllllll the strategies of the game and how they compare to one another. That's what a metagame is, it's the comparative whole of all of the parts of theory that surround the game.
