Editing Forum:Wanted game assets

{{Forumheader|Proposals}}
{{Proposal|y}}
Hey guys. So you may know that me and [[User:Disaster Flare|Disaster Flare]] recently finished (or as close as we are going to get for the moment) getting various assets and screenshots prepared for all character pages in all games. What I wanted to ask you guys is this: should we have something we don't? I am going to put a few suggestions for you guys to vote on below, but if you guys think of something that I didn't, feel free to add another. Thanks! <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;">'''King'''</span></span>]] 18:40, 21 December 2015 (EST)

===Narrator chants for each character===

The narration that plays when you select a character.

Portraits used to tell the player who they'll be battling next in All-Star mode.

Cries heard when releasing a Pokémon.

===Smash Tour Character voice clips===
{{WikiIcon|X}} '''Closed in failure'''<br>
Smash Tour fighter collection voice clips for each character.

==um==
Can I hard oppose most of these? We're not VG Resource and shouldn't be trying to dump copious file rips on every possible page. I think the question to ask before adding anything like these is "how much does the article really ''need'' this?" For example, [[Announcer#Audio comparison]] is a useful point of comparison and necessary since text descriptions don't cover audio comparisons well. However, I would strongly oppose adding a full list of all of those types of clips.

'''Global oppose''' on everything (with the possible, debatable exception of SSE previews) per Miles and Toomai, especially with respect to soundbites as I don't feel they serve any truly useful role: in my view (as a regular user with no wiki position) pages should be mainly about how things work, and sounds have a negligible part in it. Also echoing Toomai's doubts about fair use. --[[User:Menshay|Menshay]] ([[User talk:Menshay|talk]]) 06:56, 23 December 2015 (EST)

==Comments==
So as it stands, I am currently leaning towards a yes on narrator names, no on All-Star portraits, yes on Pokemon cries, yes on controller icons, yes on masterpiece icons, and neutral on SSE preview icons. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;">'''King'''</span></span>]] 13:15, 22 December 2015 (EST)
