Editing Talk:Helpless

I put Kirby and Ike on the list because they still retain the hitbox after their up-b.  Why was it deleted?

:Because they don't go Helpless. They retain their hitbox, it's totally different. - [[User:Gargomon251|Gargomon251]] ([[User talk:Gargomon251|talk]]) 20:03, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

why are you deleting Thunder from the list?? [[User:Majorabrawl|Majorabrawl]] ([[User talk:Majorabrawl|talk]]) 04:48, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
:Thunder doesn't cause Helpless. - [[User:Gargomon251|Gargomon251]] ([[User talk:Gargomon251|talk]]) 20:03, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Quote from article: "While helpless, characters cannot perform any action except fast-falling."

I believe Kirby and Ike '''can''' perform actions other than fast falling (AKA spiking, dealing damage).  That would mean they do not go into a fully helpless state.

Shouldn't Mario's image be on a black background as well, for consistency? 
[http://img.imgcake.com/MarioBlackpngez.png Like this. Yeah, I'm too lazy to register and upload it here]
And while we're at it, why are two of the images of Fox, and one of Mairo. Should they all be the same, or all be different? [[Special:Contributions/24.74.45.188|24.74.45.188]] 15:19, 19 December 2010 (EST)

== Helpless Air speeds ==

This doesn't look right, I never heard of "helpless air speed" being a thing, and the listed values don't look concrete at all. Can someone (Toomai?) verify if this is legit information or just bullshit someone added? <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 ]] 23:42, 15 September 2013 (EDT)

== Helplessness ==

Shouldn't this be helplessness, to agree with the MoS? {{s|user|PikaSamus}} ([[User talk:PikaSamus|talk]]) [[File:PikaSamusSig.png|12px|link=Special:Contributions/PikaSamus|PikaSamus]] 10:02, 10 September 2014 (EDT)

==Melee Air Grabs==

Maybe I just missed it, but Melee's Air Grab attacks cause helplessness if they miss the ledge (Link, Y. Link, Samus)
Also, what is the most common term for that? Is it "Wall Grapple"? [[User:Serpent King|Serpent King]] ([[User talk:Serpent King|talk]]) 04:39, 18 March 2015 (EDT)

== Regarding Trivia ==

Shouldn't some of that trivia be actually listed on the article itself? I don't see a reason for some of it to be trivia if it is slightly vital information, but not so useless to be trivia. [[User:F0rZ3r0F0r|F0rZ3r0F0r]] 17:43, 10 April 2015 (EDT)
:Agreed. Meanwhile, some seem too character-specific. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 16:01, 13 May 2015 (EDT)
::True, true. I feel like such a thing should be somewhere else then, maybe their own page? [[User:F0rZ3r0F0r|F0rZ3r0F0r]] ([[User talk:F0rZ3r0F0r|talk]]) 22:22, 15 June 2015 (EDT)
:::(Yes, I've noticed the date.) I think having a section for "helpless-like states" or something like that would be useful; it would encompass trivia point 1, as well as Bowser Jr.'s car-less state and possibly some of the others. -[[User:Menshay|Menshay]] ([[User talk:Menshay|talk]]) 18:44, 25 September 2015 (EDT)

Although there are several characters who cannot fall helpless in Brawl, R.O.B. was the only one to not have a helpless state animation present in Brawl's files. (source: [https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/2rg0qu/here_is_a_list_of_factstrivia_about_project_m_in/]).

<small>(Reset indent) </small> I think what they did in PM was change the whole airdodge mechanic, and nothing with the helpless animation (sans ROB). And because characters like Snake and ZSS already ''have'' helpless animations, the animation is used because of the way the programming works.

:Hm, ok. This is a weird situation - we have no evidence used for unused helpless yet we're keeping the point, yet for this one regarding Snake's we have no evidence used yet we're demanding proof to add it back in. Likely because the former is more believable, but it's a bit funny. [[User:MuteSpittah|MuteSpittah]] ([[User talk:MuteSpittah|talk]]) 21:33, 12 March 2016 (EST)
