:::I feel that's going to be a pitfall if you use any "positive" or "negative" modifiers. Even if we use arguably weaker words like "good" instead of "incredible", or "poor" instead of "terrible", it still can indicate a non-neutral viewpoint. However, we obviously cannot outright ban such modifier words, since it would make SmashWiki a helluva lot harder to edit. | :::I feel that's going to be a pitfall if you use any "positive" or "negative" modifiers.

:::To that end, NPoV should not be viewed as a style guide, and this is one of my biggest problems with the current Neutral Tone Guide; it should be viewed as a writing guide. Simply saying a character has either "awful rolls" or "bad rolls" is not acceptable; saying a character has "bad rolls because they have significant ending lag and X character lacks fast moves that can create safe options after a roll" is perfectly acceptable. | :::To that end, NPoV should not be viewed as a style guide, and this is one of my biggest problems with the current Neutral Tone Guide; it should be viewed as a writing guide.
