I'm also operating under the presumption that however the character appears in Smash Bros. is more important than how they appear in their home universe. | ::::I'm making the assumption that the "changes between games" criteria is by far the least likely to occur.

::::I should also note that I'm not against having an exception for the general character pages (for example, writing [Corrin] as gender-neutral, but writing [Corrin (SSBU)] and all other pages as SSB-default).

It’s been roughly 24 hours. Have we all come to a consensus on if the “refer to characters with multiple genders by their default costume” rule should stay or go? Personally, I’d say remove the rule, as like Emmet said, it’s more consistent with non-fighter pages, and will become less confusing in case a character changes their default gender. {{unsigned|99.203.11.147|21:01, January 13, 2019}} | It’s been roughly 24 hours.
