Spirit Battle tables in their current state are a little... messy. If a user feels that it is necessary to make an edit to a battle entry, they will need to hunt down every usage of that battle entry. Here's a hypothetical: I want to make an edit to the 'Hungry Luma' spirit battle (wrong type, song, whatever). Easy, I go to the list of [[List_of_spirits_(Super_Mario_series)|Super Mario spirits]] and change it. Done? Nope. Now I go to [[Rosalina & Luma (SSBU)|Rosalina]]'s page, edit, go to [[Kirby (SSBU)|Kirby]]'s page, edit, and now I'm hopefully done. A recent headache came from [[Cuphead]]'s spirit battle where it changes if you have DLC, now the edit needs to be made on [[Ready%3F_Wallop!]], [[Peach_(SSBU)]], [[Mega_Man_(SSBU)]], [[Mii_Gunner_(SSBU)]], and [[List_of_spirits_(Others)]]. This will only grow as we have about two more years of content coming. | Spirit Battle tables in their current state are a little... messy.

I've done some research and have made a mock-up of what I was thinking (below). It is based around the rows that are currently used for spirit battles with the only changes being the image size and how numbers are displayed, but that can easily be changed. There are 2 parts: SpiritBattleRow and SpiritBattleTable. SpiritBattleRow is used to construct the rows with quite a few parameters. SpiritBattleTable has 2 parameters: number, which controls the switch function (currently only a few spirits are programmed); and seriesoff, which removes the 'series' cell if it is filled, which will make it look like the rows on the "List of Spirits (___ Series)". | I've done some research and have made a mock-up of what I was thinking (below).

Currently it isn't able to handle spirits like Cuphead where they are different if you have DLC. But I do have a WIP design that incorporates it into SpiritBattleRow, but I'm thinking a separate SpiritBattleRowDLC would be cleaner. | Currently it isn't able to handle spirits like Cuphead where they are different if you have DLC.

*Not long ago I corrected the information between the Fighter and Series Lists, which lead me to compile all of the information from the pages. This means I already have all of the data needed to make the full template/list. Thinking on it, I do acknowledge that me correcting the information partially defeats the purpose of this proposal, however there is still the point of adding hidden data (such as stats or unknown conditions) if it becomes available.--[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User_talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 09:47, April 14, 2020 (EDT) | *Not long ago I corrected the information between the Fighter and Series Lists, which lead me to compile all of the information from the pages.
