Editing Talk:Approaching attack

==Space Animal's Side B==
Uh Space Animal's side b goes only a LITTLE less of a distance than Meta Knight's drill rush. So it should be listed.--[[User:Oxico|Oxico]] ([[User talk:Oxico|talk]]) 23:51, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

REJECT THE ABOVE STATEMENT. My bad I thought it said side special not side smash. :P But I think the peach bomber is too short a distance too.--[[User:Oxico|Oxico]] ([[User talk:Oxico|talk]]) 23:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

But I thought that the length increased from melee to brawl. And wouldn't Ganon's and CF's Down B be an approach attack?  [[User:Zexas A.|Zexas A.]] ([[User talk:Zexas A.|talk]]) 00:15, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Peach has increased in lenghth, so is similar to Wolf's side B, and so stays, ans u are correct about the down B kicks. I dont think this should be merged with [[Approach]] as that page contains links to all other types of approach, and these attacks are a type of appraoch, and so the list of them should be here, and the link to it in [[Approach]].

<s>Don't merge it. The same reasons [[User:Phayz|Phayz]] had. I also just put a link on the bottom of the page[[User:Smorekingxg456|Smorekingxg456]] ([[User talk:Smorekingxg456|talk]]) 17:10, 15 August 2008 (UTC)</s>

==Obvious Merge==

Really? How can you have "long range attacks that move your character a.k.a. [[Approach Attacks]]" listed as a "type of approach" on the [[Approach]] article and not see how these articles should be merged? Oi.

This is what should happen:
*The content should be loosely merged into [[Approach]]
*"Types of Approaches" needs a cleanup, but it should stay basically the same.
*"Common Approach Attacks" should be listed as a second level 2 header with the information from the Approach Attacks article as it relates to specific characters. 
*It should really have some disambiguation with regards to what games they apply in, too. After all, you can't [[SHFFL]] in Brawl.

== Wario's Wario Bike is not Wario's body. ==

I have a problem with the page stating that a character that Approach Attacks "uses its own body as a projectile." Wario's Wario Bike doesn't use Wario's body as a projectile. It helps the bike by riding it, yes, but that only makes the bike a projectile. Still, Wario's Wario Bike is listed as an approach attack. I suggest we either change the word projectile to approaching, make clear that Wario's Wario Bike is an exception or simply remove the Wario Bike from the list. I am not very sure about what is best for the page, though.

:The only thing that has to be changed is the definition as many of these attacks do not involve the use of the character's body, such as Drill Rush, the DACUSes, or the example you gave. All of the attacks listed are approach attacks (except for Wolf's f-smash), we just have a faulty definition listed. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png|25px ]] 12:46, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Considering how the current setup of the approach page is, I'll '''oppose''' a merge. Each of the various kinds of approaches got their own article, and I see this as no different. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 09:21, 13 July 2011 (EDT)

== Side smashes ==

Should the space animal's (except for Falco in Brawl) side smashes be considered approaching attacks? All of them move a decent distance. Other side smashes with this property are Link's and Kirby's, to name a few.

:No. Their short distance gained combined with their high ending lag does not allow them to be used as approach attacks. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 18:17, 24 December 2011 (EST)

== Defining ==

Having an article specifically for this type of attack seems weird to me, but while we're here do we really want to list attacks like Luigi Cyclone and Mach Tornado as "approaching attacks"?  By that logic every aerial is an approaching attack because you can choose to approach with it.  At least with a move like Fox Illusion you are forced to move forward and with Drill Rush you are moving forward at an angle, but with some of these attacks you can move forward, backward, or nowhere at all.--[[User:SimnaibnSind|SimnaibnSind]] ([[User talk:SimnaibnSind|talk]]) 04:28, September 9, 2022 (EDT)
