| :I would personally prefer fighter order because it's ingrained into our minds from it being in the game for years, there's so many third parties these days that it means Byleth is almost at the start of the newcomers which is very odd for DLC interspersed like that, and other newcomers like Isabelle are buried in the middle of the list. Just takes more thought to find characters than it otherwise would imo - that said though, stages being grouped by series DOES feel easier, so if it's one or the other than yeah ig series order [[User:ToastUltimatum|<font color="darkorange">Toast</font>]] [[File:Wii U Logo Transparent.png|17px|link=Special:Contributions/ToastUltimatum]][[User talk:ToastUltimatum|<font color="seablue">'''ltimatum'''</font>]][[File:Transparent Swadloon.png|26px]] 17:05, July 13, 2023 (EDT) | | :I would personally prefer fighter order because it's ingrained into our minds from it being in the game for years, there's so many third parties these days that it means Byleth is almost at the start of the newcomers which is very odd for DLC interspersed like that, and other newcomers like Isabelle are buried in the middle of the list.

| :The primary reason is consistency with other games, since we cannot use the Sakurai numbers for them (they're based on development decisions we have to make assumptions for) or for other things on the same page such as stages (again, we'd have to assume a lot).

| ::Crazy idea, but...what if instead we just make each game's stuff sorted by how it appears on its own selection screen? That way there's at least ''some'' consistency, even if it's inconsistent by itself from game to game.

| :::The awkward thing with that is that these screens tend to be fairly short-and-wide, which is not ideal for display on wiki pages. And given some games align things based on both rows and columns, wrapping is not viable.

| ::there's no assuming to be made since we know the numbers for all the ult characters. not to mention that this would keep consistency with the other games since their CSSs use series order already. [[User:Luigi86101|Luigi86101]] ([[User talk:Luigi86101|talk]]) 00:47, July 14, 2023 (EDT)

| :::You misunderstood my point. The Sakurai numbers are based on which characters are considered "low dev effort" and which are not. This definition has changed between the games enough that using SSBU's order for games that are not SSBU is inaccurate at best. And of course we can't know whatever the next game will do.

| :::thats not what i mean, i'm only saying only the ultimate page should have the characters listed in fighter order because that's the most well known order and official order for ultimate. theres no reason to change any other page or worry about keeping consistency for future games; ultimate can be an exception imo.

| :I don't have much stake in this wiki anymore, but I do think series order makes much more intuitive sense, since the CSS is designed primarily for its gameplay purpose and not for a wiki "searching for info" purpose. If you want to find info about King Dedede, it's much easier to just look for the Kirby section than to remember he's number 39 or something. That's just me, though. ~ [[User:StrawberryChan|<span style="color: #e68;">'''StrawberryChan'''</span>]] ([[User talk:StrawberryChan|talk]]) 18:51, July 13, 2023 (EDT)

| ::the thing is i feel in a "searching for info" purpose, fighter order is a lot easier to look at since it's so ingrained into people's minds by now, like i always have trouble finding the character i want with series order.

| Wanted to bring up a poll (189 votes) i held on my twitter, where fighter order won by a bit https://twitter.com/LuigiTKO/status/1679335311485050881 . Not enough in my opinion to make a definite change but definitely shows that it wasn't as one sided as when the game came out.

| What would people say to alphabetical order? I don't like it mostly for aesthetic reasons (and a game's main page is the one page I think this matters), but it solves all the other problems - it's objective, it's intuitive, it's consistent, and we use it elsewhere specifically so we don't have to argue about order.

| :That brings up the issue of transformation characters, since with all of them their names are nowhere close to each other alphabetically, yet it should be obvious that they should be grouped with their counterparts. Ignoring the alternate transformation's name and just grouping them with the primary character could work, but that defeats the point of the consistency. Personally, I think the series order is good; the only times where a character's order is arguable is within their own series (i.e., Lucina was revealed before Robin but Lucina is unlockable while Robin is a starter, or Sheik being revealed first in Melee but all games pre-Ultimate prioritizing Zelda), meaning characters only swap one place instead of five if somebody disagrees.
