Let me ask you this

Are you not a rollbacker? I mean, sure, you're running for adminship, but if you're not a rollbacker, I'd definitely recommend doing so. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 21:18, 24 August 2015 (EDT)

No I'm not. But I will if my RfA fails. Serpent King (talk) 23:14, 24 August 2015 (EDT)

Regarding this page

If you want, I can take care of descriptions, and you can get the images. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 11:14, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

You mean the move names? Serpent∞King (talk) 13:04, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

I mean like I get the descriptions for the moves (i.e., "A stronger but slower _____."), while you get the pictures to match with them. I have most of the customs unlocked in Smash 3DS (god bless Smash Run), so I should be able to help with a vast majority of them. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 13:13, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

So is it a yes or a no? I have my 3DS in front of me right now, and I know that you only have Mario and Luigi, but I can update it as time goes on. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 21:17, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

Sorry I was at work. We have descriptions for each, right? Or are you talking about the in-game ones? Serpent∞King (talk) 21:43, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

The in-game ones. For example, for something like this, it would say "Jump in the air, then home in on the closest fighter (if there's one in range).", just like it says in the game. And, if a case comes up where you have one and I don't, then you're happy to put it in for me. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 23:26, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

Ok yeah, go ahead then. Just on my userpage though, I don't want to implement until Miles gets back with me here. Serpent∞King (talk) 23:28, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

(Reset indent) Sure, sure. Just know that I have school on weekdays. :P Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 23:31, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

Right now actually, templateing the images as I upload/move them would be the most helpful thing. Serpent∞King (talk) 23:34, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

Well, right now for me, it's getting pretty late, so I can probably take care of the descriptions tomorrow. However, I've updated the template used for it accordingly so I'm actually able to implement the descriptions in there. You can change it however you like if you think you have a better idea. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 23:39, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

Is it OK if I help with the descriptions too? I've got most of the customs with missing descriptions. DracoRexKing 21:38, 4 September 2015 (EDT)

Yeah definitely. Serpent∞King (talk) 21:42, 4 September 2015 (EDT)

This is just to notify you i made an account, after the request.

Hey, i am INoMed. I used to be 2.24.183.90, but i decided to make an account after some consideration. INoMed, King of demons 07:20, 29 August 2015 (EDT)

Cool! Welcome to SmashWiki! Serpent∞King (talk) 07:51, 29 August 2015 (EDT)

Just wondering

Why are Mewtwo, Lucas, Roy, and Ryu on the custom moves page? They don't have customs. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 16:52, 30 August 2015 (EDT)

Consistency. They have descriptions, right? Serpent∞King (talk) 16:53, 30 August 2015 (EDT)

Oh also, I made this for the DLC characters. Serpent∞King (talk) 17:10, 30 August 2015 (EDT)

I feel I should mention the fact that I have ADD and have a short attention span. I can get jobs done, but considering how there were 19 with info missing, I decided to get just 7 done for now. I'll get around to the others when I have a chance. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 18:31, 30 August 2015 (EDT)

Oh no that's fine, (I have ADD and asperger syndrome, so I get it.) Serpent∞King (talk) 18:35, 30 August 2015 (EDT)

That makes two of us...I have ADD and I'm on the spectrum. Small world, isn't it? XD Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 18:53, 30 August 2015 (EDT)

AI flaw gifs?

Hello Serpent King, one day you said you could help with gifs for the 64 and Brawl AI pages, right? (Melee has enough with those 2 gifs and OT's whole playlist, lol). So, wanna help with that? I'll be busy for today. Some good ideas for gifs could be:

For Smash 64:

• CPUs not using their up B again after hit
• CPUs constantly throwing an item down on a platform (when a player is below it)
• CPUs not recognising a hazard like an active Motion Sensor Bomb and SDing with it

For Brawl (we already have one with Snake's d-throw):

• CPUs with chargeable projectiles spamming them from afar
• CPUs constantly rolling towards the edge when the player respawns
• CPU Luigi or Pit spamming neutral B after Final Smash

You've done a really great work by the way, especially with the AI pages and Debug Menus! Congratulations! DracoRexKing 11:37, 1 September 2015 (EDT)

At some point, yes, I can help. Not today though. I have a major project (custom moves) in progress now, and another one (List of glitches (SSB_)) on the way. I'll help when things calm down for me a bit. Serpent∞King (talk) 17:21, 1 September 2015 (EDT)

Pic uploads

What format do I need to use in order to get a transparent background. I want to re upload File:ROB Wii PM.png for my profile image. What should I do? DekZek 23:37, 7 September 2015 (EDT)

Transparency will require a program like Photoshop, gimp or similar (maybe MS Paint, not sure). Only thing is that jpg and bmp files do not support transparency, so you'll want it in png. Serpent∞King (talk) 23:39, 7 September 2015 (EDT)

I am using a (school) iPad. The App Store is closed and I don't have any apps capable of transparency. Can you upload the pic, please? DekZek 23:53, 7 September 2015 (EDT)

File:DekZek-sig.png Serpent∞King (talk) 23:59, 7 September 2015 (EDT)

Serpent king, can you add transparency to my sig image? I am using an iPad, and i can't bother installing an app capable of transparency. INoMed, King of Demons (Talk) 12:42, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

I've changed my mind... INoMed, King of Demons (Talk) 12:51, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

Yeah, I am having quality issues with the resize. 20px is just too small to make out the duck. Serpent∞King (talk) 12:53, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

When i look closely on my Retina Display iPad, i can make out the duck, it's just tricky. INoMed, King of Demons (Talk) 12:59, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

About one of your opinions of smash

I recently got inspired by your "FOX IS NOT THE ONLY CHSRACTER WORTH ANYTHING IN MELEE" opinion and used it in my userspace, albeit related to Meta Knight instead. Kudos for your hard work setting me up though! INoMed, King of Demons (Talk) 05:14, 12 September 2015 (EDT)

Glad to inspire :D Serpent∞King (talk) 05:46, 12 September 2015 (EDT)

So did I. In fact I used it twice. Ganonmew (talk) 12:20, 13 September 2015 (EDT)

lol. DracoRexKing 16:15, 17 September 2015 (EDT)

You said here that you wanted it implemented...

If all you're doing is copy-pasting, I can easily help with that. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 12:08, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

Yeah, sure, go for it. Thanks! Serpent∞King (talk) 12:23, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

I can implement it, but I'll leave it to you to sort it out on the page itself. I'd help out now, but something that could horribly affect me in a great way came up, and long story short, I'm on the lookout for someone. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 15:04, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

I would be working on it more, if not for the fact that I have been literally killing myself with work. Between my job and SmashWiki, I've been getting roughly 3-4 hours of sleep per day, sometimes less. Serpent∞King (talk) 19:11, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

Your help on the site is definitely appreciated, but you should probably prioritize your health over the wiki. Miles (talk) 19:16, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

I'm fine for now, but now that this is over, once I finish up these custom moves, my activity on this wiki will probably drop off considerably. Serpent∞King (talk) 05:37, 15 September 2015 (EDT)

Outside of SmashWiki communication

Do you have an email, or a personal phone? You seem like a really fun guy, and a lot of fun to talk to. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 08:50, 15 September 2015 (EDT)

I have a Skype and I'm on the IRC Serpent∞King (talk) 13:54, 15 September 2015 (EDT)

Can I add you to Skype, Serpent? DracoRexKing 20:24, 24 September 2015 (EDT)

Sure, jump on the IRC real quick. Serpent∞King (talk) 20:26, 24 September 2015 (EDT)

Your comment on DracoRexKing's talk page...

the one that is not archived. It broke the format for mine. Can you fix it real quick? Ganonmew (talk) 21:21, 16 September 2015 (EDT)

I also want to add that I apologize for you not getting adminship. Ganonmew (talk) 21:25, 16 September 2015 (EDT)

Got it. And no sweat. Means I can relax a little. Serpent∞King (talk) 22:22, 16 September 2015 (EDT)

Yesterday

I'm sorry for being rude and harsh with you yesterday. I did not feel well, and thought I was being justified in being a shithead. So I apologize. I don't want animosity between you and I. Smashedpotatoes (talk) 03:54, 20 September 2015 (EDT)

No problem, It's cool. I definitely could have handled it better too Serpent∞King (talk) 17:09, 20 September 2015 (EDT)

What do you think?

What do you think of my red userspace? I spammed span style btw. INoMed (Talk) 05:16, 20 September 2015 (EDT)

Very red. You should try to fill in some of your whitespace though. Especially at the top. Serpent∞King (talk) 17:11, 20 September 2015 (EDT)

The explanation

The IP said that R.O.B.'s alias on Boxing Ring is a direct reference to the SSE, countering Toomai's statement regarding how "the Smash games aren't cross-canon". Therefore, it has everything to do with R.O.B.. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 18:15, 20 September 2015 (EDT)

"Reference" ≠ "statement of canonicity". Toomai Glittershine The Prismatic 18:17, 20 September 2015 (EDT)

How so? The playable R.O.B. in the SSE (and, indirectly, Brawl as a whole) is the last of the R.O.B. race, and this is carried over into Smash 4; the alias very clearly confirms this. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 18:18, 20 September 2015 (EDT)

I understand this, but it's a weak argument. The Boxing Ring references several different things, and it's more of an easter egg than anything. Smash, like toomai said, doesn't really have a canon, and I don't really think that this proves anything different. Serpent∞King (talk) 18:19, 20 September 2015 (EDT)

I don't have a particular preference one way or the other on the subject, but it's worth considering the Palutena's Guidance conversations on Mario and Mr. Game & Watch in this situation as well. Miles (talk) 18:20, 20 September 2015 (EDT)

Also easter eggs. Serpent∞King (talk) 18:22, 20 September 2015 (EDT)

Quick Question.

Is my sig displaying Times New Roman correctly? (INoMed should be bold, talk should be italics) I need a desktop user to tell me if it is displaying correctly. INoMed (Talk) 09:39, 24 September 2015 (EDT)

Looks fine to me. Dunno about SK, but looks fine to me. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 09:42, 24 September 2015 (EDT)

Are you on a desktop with Times New Roman installed? iOS seems to be displaying it correctly, but IDK if the font really is TNR. INoMed (Talk) 09:45, 24 September 2015 (EDT)

I'm on a computer right now, but I can check it on my phone (iPhone 5S) later. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 09:55, 24 September 2015 (EDT)

Ok then. ;-) (Just a thing with my signature... If my sig has serifs, (Which it does) then i'm happy with it. (iPad displays the serifs correctly, Some PCs might not.)) INoMed (Talk) 10:00, 24 September 2015 (EDT)

Yeah it's fine. The only way that could mess up is if TNR wasn't installed on the viewer's PC/system (which is pretty much impossible). Otherwise, it would show up as Arial or Consolas. Serpent∞King (talk) 16:53, 24 September 2015 (EDT)

Do you mind?

Do you mind reuploading file:halloween.png, but with a black skull instead of white? Name it file:HalloweenINoMed.png. I also want transparency, since it'll be on a red userbox. Thanks in advance! INoMed (Talk) 03:14, 1 October 2015 (EDT)

File:HalloweenINoMed.png Serpent∞King (talk) 19:22, 1 October 2015 (EDT)

How does the skill parameter on Template:Smasher Infobox work now?

I noticed you changed it, but I'm not sure how to break up each game's skill. How would I do this? F0rZ3r0F0r (talk) 21:03, 3 October 2015 (EDT)

It's just skillssb, skillssbm, skillssbb, etc, etc. Really felt like this was a necessary change. Serpent∞King (talk) 21:06, 3 October 2015 (EDT)

Excuse my ignorance, but I'm not sure how to input it still. Like, if I wanted to say that MrLz is "Professional" in Melee, how would I put that? F0rZ3r0F0r (talk) 21:16, 3 October 2015 (EDT)

skillssbm=Professional Serpent∞King (talk) 21:17, 3 October 2015 (EDT)

Alright, thanks! F0rZ3r0F0r (talk) 21:19, 3 October 2015 (EDT)

Not a problem :D Serpent∞King (talk) 21:23, 3 October 2015 (EDT)

Just an FYI: <br> is not interchangeable with <br/>, as the latter causes a larger break than one line. Worth keeping in mind. Miles (talk) 21:27, 3 October 2015 (EDT)

Did I mess up somewhere? Serpent∞King (talk) 21:30, 3 October 2015 (EDT)

It was in the skill rows. I fixed it. Miles (talk) 22:35, 3 October 2015 (EDT)

I don't think that <br> works in standard HTML does it? I have always used <br/>Serpent∞King (talk) 22:41, 3 October 2015 (EDT)

Skill levels

Please keep in mind that while 25th and 33rd are not considered "good" on a local or regional level, at tournaments like Apex, those placings are more impressive due to the size of those tournaments. They are not "bad placings" for th0rn by any means. Being ranked 38th on the 2013 SSBM Player Rankings also is pretty impressive when you look at the names on there. Also, th0rn has beaten players like Hax before as well. PokemonMasterJamal3 (talk) 17:51, 8 October 2015 (EDT)

All right, so while th0rn was an understandable oversight, changing 9B from a "top professional" to a "professional" is 100% incorrect.

• "9th at Apex (Brawl) 2013 does not mean top professional." Apex 2013 is still considered by many players to be the hardest Brawl tournament America has ever seen. 9th at Apex 2013 did not make you any less of a top professional, especially considering some of the names he beat (ADHD being the most prominent example).
• "A whole bunch of minor tournies". The majority of those tournaments had some of the best Brawl players in Japan, and throughout 2012, a lot of players believed that Japan was stronger than North America as a whole.
• 9B won the last major American tournament of 2014 for Brawl, SKTAR 3 (and despite having less than 100 entrants, the community considers it to be a major due to the amazing talent that was present), including beating Nairo in Grand Finals.
• Many top players in both America and Japan (including Mew2King, Vinnie, and Nairo) widely consider 9B to be the best Ice Climbers player to ever play Brawl.

Forgive me if I sound annoyed, but I really wish you would re-consider changing skill levels, because 9B was (and still is) unquestionably a top player. PokemonMasterJamal3 (talk) 18:22, 8 October 2015 (EDT)

Alright, I see my error in 9B, but I maintain that th0rn is not top professional. TP should really only be those who consistently get top 32 at RoM Apex EVO SKTAR etc etc, in my opinion. Serpent∞King (talk) 19:28, 8 October 2015 (EDT)

I apologize also: I was in over my head, as I know next to nothing about the Brawl scene. Serpent∞King (talk) 19:31, 8 October 2015 (EDT)

It's fine. I didn't mean to go off too much, just wanted to point that out. :P And I'll relent on th0rn for top player, so I'll change it to "professional" instead. PokemonMasterJamal3 (talk) 19:36, 8 October 2015 (EDT)

Cool, thanks. Glad we could work that out. Serpent∞King (talk) 19:36, 8 October 2015 (EDT)

What do you think? ;-)

What yo you think of my signature now that I improved upon it? the signature: INoMed ^(Talk) 14:01, 12 October 2015 (EDT)

Much better :D Serpent∞King (talk) 14:02, 12 October 2015 (EDT)

I've been mastering wikicode recently. Because of that, my signature has gotten insanely good as well. (I believe the sig is 250 bytes big) INoMed ^(Talk) 14:05, 12 October 2015 (EDT)

UPDATE: I've recently been mastering substitution, IN MY SIG! (SmashWiki says that you shouldn't use this in your sig unless you have "a strong grasp". (I tested in my sandbox first before making the switch)) INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 04:07, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

A bit off topic, but I have applied for rollback. Wish me luck! INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 06:10, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

Gl ;D Serpent∞King (talk) 06:11, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

Did toomai just make my RFR failed because of my DEVICE?!?!?! Are you kidding me... (Sorry for tantrum) INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 09:41, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

Not yet anyway. Serpent∞King (talk) 09:51, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

unused personal images

While searching through Special:Unusedimages, I found this user image. File:SerpBDay.png . What should I do with this? DekZek, The creature of your nightmares 21:21, 13 October 2015 (EDT)

I don't need it anymore so... Serpent∞King (talk) 05:30, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

Two things:

1. How do you make the arrows like on the SSB_ changes sections? I use mobile so I don't know how.
2. Sorry for BOTH your RfA and RfR failing. Ganonmew, The Evil Clone 07:55, 17 October 2015 (EDT)

Go to your device's settings, enable javascript. Reenter safari (or whatever browser you use, I use safari), go to your preferences, press editing, enable toolbar, enable enhanced toolbar (Javascript), edit any page (test on the sandbox), scroll down to symbols, and press the arrow button. ← → ↑ ↓ INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 08:07, 17 October 2015 (EDT)

Sorry, but I normally use Chrome and don't know a ton about Safari. You lost me on preferences lol. Ganonmew, The Evil Clone 08:58, 17 October 2015 (EDT)

On the top, there's a button for preferences. You can also go here if you need. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 09:13, 17 October 2015 (EDT)

Oh, well on the link, I already have that on. And I scrolled down to symbols, and I only see: £, ¥, ±, °, ×, ÷, €, ≠, ≈, ≤, and ≥. Ganonmew, The Evil Clone 09:35, 17 October 2015 (EDT)

Scroll down! You'll find the arrows there. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 09:47, 17 October 2015 (EDT)

Actually, if you mean the buff/nerf templates, there are 3 parameters: Description, old value, and new value. The arrow will be automatic. Serpent∞King (talk) 10:54, 17 October 2015 (EDT)

Pretty sure this user is meaning "the arrows in the preferences". INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 11:05, 17 October 2015 (EDT)

No, he's right. But I found your way, thanks! Ganonmew, The Evil Clone 17:21, 17 October 2015 (EDT)

Something fancy for your userspace.

If you want custom articleicons, copypaste the following code: (Don't copypaste the nowiki nor the line break tags)
<div id="ArticleIcons" style="position:absolute;z-index:100;right:10px;top:-32px;float:right"> Images go here </div>
(Any images should be 25 pixels big btw) INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 07:22, 19 October 2015 (EDT)

Just an FYI, I did not use the line break tags in an attempt to violate any of the rules on the SmashWiki. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 07:25, 19 October 2015 (EDT)

So you used them for a general wiki template other than articleicons? Nice! Anyways, I used them in userspace. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 03:21, 20 October 2015 (EDT)

Yes thank you for that. I probably could have come up with something similar, but you saved me the time, so thanks. Serpent∞King (talk) 03:34, 20 October 2015 (EDT)

No problem dude. There's a shiningstar below related to CustomSet waiting for you! INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 04:00, 20 October 2015 (EDT)

(Reset INoMed)And if you wanna spruce up the boring "From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki" message, copypaste the following to the top of your userspace (without the nowiki tags) <div id="articleicons" style="position:absolute;z-index:100;left:270px;top:0px;float:left"><small>(Whose userpage is awesome)</small></div> INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 06:40, 20 October 2015 (EDT)

Whoa there!

Why thank you! Serpent∞King (talk) 03:58, 20 October 2015 (EDT)

No problem #2. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 04:00, 20 October 2015 (EDT)

Sorry for those edits that you undid. I was assuming that it didn't transclude the full functionality, but interestingly, it transcluded the full functionality. Just an FYI on why I did those edits. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 04:09, 20 October 2015 (EDT)

Anyways, you're gonna need to archive soon, as the talk page is 47k bytes big. I archived recently at 35k bytes. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 04:12, 20 October 2015 (EDT)

Not a problem. Serpent∞King (talk) 04:12, 20 October 2015 (EDT)

Stop causing edit conflicts serp. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 11:09, 20 October 2015 (EDT)
