Editing Talk:Starfy

==Spout Flames?==
I think that the statement that says Stafy spouts flames should be removed as it is mario's side smash attack.<small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:Peach rules|Peach rules]] ([[User talk:Peach rules|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Peach rules|contribs]]) </small>

== Merge ==

I disagree with this one.  Stafy is an assist trophy, and they deserve their own pages.  I will admit, however, that the article does need more of an emphasis on Stafy as an assist trophy.

==He's called "Starfy"==
If you don't believe me, [[wikipedia:The_Legendary_Starfy_(series)|read this]]. I suggest moving the page to "Starfy" on which it is explained that there was a typo when translating ''Brawl''. Then go on to use the name "Starfy" not "Stafy" in the article. It was misspelled in ''Brawl'', that doesn't mean it should be misspelled here.

:I'm pretty sure the English translation is ambiguous.  Ever play ''M&L:SS''? There's a cameo poster for "The Legend of '''Stafy'''", with this character.  So I'm pretty sure both spellings are accepted. The Wikipedia article acknowledges this.

::The Wikipedia article acknowledges the fact that in two games his name has been misspelled. ''The Legend of Starfy'' ('''''Densetsu no Starfy Taiketsu! Daiiru Kaizokudan''''' - I think the next SSB game should be ''Super Smash Bros. Confrontation''), which is due to be released in North America in four days time, is spelled with an "r". I would go by what he's called in a game from his own series over what he's called in a game that he's a guest in. I'm not exactly saying that people will die of confusion if we don't change it, just that "Starfy" would be technically correct, which, as we all know, is the best kind of correct.

yo, PoD! I'd like to point out the games called '''''the legendary starfy''''', not what you called it. double error. [[User:HYLIAN FURY|HYLIAN FURY]] ([[User talk:HYLIAN FURY|talk]]) 01:13, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
:''Densetsu no Starfy'' was the first game of the ''The Legendary Starfy'' series, the fifth game of which was called ''The Legendary Starfy''. The game that we were talking about was not ''The Legendary Starfy'', it was ''Densetsu no Starfy'', but I translated the title for people who don't speak Japanese. The series name (and the name of the fifth game of the series) were loosely translated  - ''Densetsu no Starfy'' means ''The Legend of Starfy'', not ''The Legendary Starfy'', because Densetsu means "Legend"/"Adventure", not "Legendary". And please don't say "yo, PoD!... double error", it sounds offensive.

But you are all wrong, well not all of you, the people at TOSE said that "Starfy" was not necessarily the official translation, everything shouldn't be judged of want the people who translation Smash Bros. say.

:But in all of the other games that he's appeared in he's been called Starfy... Outside of ''Brawl'' he's only ever once been referred to as Stafy, and that's on a poster in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. He's called Starfy far more often than he's called Stafy.

Bump. Unless anyone has any strong ''and logical'' objections, I will move the Stafy article to "Starfy" at some point in the next few days.

Not that it matters to the original point (especially after all this time, but this bugs me and I have to get it off my chest), but ''Densetsu no Starfy'' does not mean ''The Legend of Starfy''. Yes, 'densetsu' means 'legend', but the ordering of the words is key here. 'No' more or less works similarly to English's 'apostrophe-s' in making a possessive. So for a comparison: ''Zelda no Densetsu'' would be either ''Zelda's Legend'' or ''Legend of Zelda''; while ''Densetsu no Starfy'' would be either ''Legend's Starfy'' or ''Starfy of Legend'', which is synonymous with ''Legendary Starfy''. Again, I know it's not relevant to this point, but it could at least prevent any attempts to misname the series elsewhere on the wiki.

== Stafy is not a starfish. ==

I just wanted to say this before someone said he was, thanks to the horrible English commercials, his creator stated he is neither a star nor a starish.[[Special:Contributions/98.88.51.224|98.88.51.224]] 16:24, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Look. He's named Stafy in Brawl. That his name was relocalized after Brawl makes no difference. Can this be moved back to Stafy please.

== sta(r)fy ==
So i read that link PoD post, and found out that:
*he is called Starfy in english
*he is called Stafy in japan

Which means starfy and stafy if the same, not misspell or sumthing. Nintendo is originally from japan (right?) and that's probably why they called it stafy.......

== "Scrapped playable character" ==

Remember how there used to be some biased trivia point that said because Starly is in Fighter Related, Starfy might have been meant to be a character before they cut him out for some reason? I think honestly we could bring that back, but mention the playable thing in a single sentence. Like how they do it on Starfy's own wiki:

*In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the trophy of Starfy ("Stafy")'s sister Starly ("Stapy") is indexed under the "Fighter Related" category, despite the fact that Starfy is not a playable character in the game. Furthermore, no Custom Robo or Animal Crossing trophies appear in the "Fighter Related" category, although Starfy, Ray MK III and Mr. Resetti all appear as Assist Trophies. 
:*This has lead to some theories that Starfy may have been planned as a playable character at one point in the development of Brawl. 

Consider it. --[[User:RoyboyX|RoyboyX]] ([[User talk:RoyboyX|talk]]) 11:05, 25 September 2011 (EDT)
