SmashWiki:Featured content/Archive 2

Bayonetta (SSB4)
Considering the fact she won the Smash Ballot, I feel she deserves some lime light. Her smash bros profile has a lot of work put into it, she has a lot of extra abilities, like Bullet Arts and Bat Within, that make her one of the more unique characters in the game. And I just feel that she deserves some recognition for that. The one character everyone thought would never get into Smash Bros. not only getting in, but getting in due to popular demand. That and the fact they were able to tone down her sexual nature for an E10+ game, while still staying true to her character, I feel was an amazing feat by Sakurai. Ixbran (talk) 11:48, 17 December 2016 (EST)
 * Oppose The FA is mostly based on the quality of the article, not the content of the article itself. AidanzapunkChristmasSig.png Aidan, the Jolly Dragon Warrior AidanzapunkChristmasSig2.png 21:28, 20 December 2016 (EST)


 * Why cant it be both? Also whats wrong with the quality of the Bayo page? What can be done to get it to the quality it'd need to be? 12:40, 24 December 2016 (EST)

Bump. This page really is very good, and I'd hate for it to be missed out on it's chance to shine. Pen ro  16:43, 1 July 2016 (EDT)

Weak oppose I think that it might be a little to complicated for some people, but otherwise it is a great article  Poultry ( talk ) the God-Slayer 07:13, 7 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Support even if it is somewhat complicated for some, it is an important and good article all the same. Bacon  Master BaconMasterSig.png 13:30, 7 July 2016 (EDT)

Robin (SSB4)
A well-written page that covers the character in a clear and concise manner, also very clean and demonstrates everything a fighter page should be. MuteSpittah (talk) 22:46, 3 April 2016 (EDT)

Support This is good indeed. I like it so much. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 07:20, 4 April 2016 (EDT)
 * "Victory poses" has an incomplete tag in it. -- Ethan [[file:Ethan7sig.png|20px|link=User:Ethan7]] ( Discussion ) 14:42, 7 April 2016 (EDT)
 * Yeah. That's pretty minor though. Marth also had an incomplete tag while it was featured for a time as well. MuteSpittah (talk) 14:47, 7 April 2016 (EDT)
 * Just saying (no one really voted for Marth anyways). -- Ethan [[file:Ethan7sig.png|20px|link=User:Ethan7]] ( Discussion ) 14:57, 7 April 2016 (EDT)
 * Weak support. Great, but a bit too long, especially the opening paragraph. Nyargleblargle.png Nyargle blargle'''  (Contribs) 15:50, 14 April 2016 (EDT)

Oppose: really starting to get tired of always featuring fighters.  Serpent   King  20:25, 26 June 2016 (EDT)

Strong Oppose It's missing Japanese in one section. TabuuandMasterCore 11:58, 29 June 2016 (EDT)
 * Weak support Though it is a superb article, 2/3 of the past 3 featured articles (including the current one) have been FE characters. However, as this one is a game-specific page, I feel it is a bit more of a change. Bacon  Master BaconMasterSig.png 16:27, 1 July 2016 (EDT)

Oppose. It could still use some work and I don't really see Robin as a feature article that too soon. D o  t  s  (talk)  The Blue 21:54, 8 July 2016 (EDT)

Link
Has a lot of info, is clean and has many nice images. -- Ethan  ( Discussion ) 23:38, 3 April 2016 (EDT)

Support A good one indeed. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 14:01, 14 April 2016 (EDT)
 * Weak oppose Solid, but could be more concise. Take, for example, the Smash 64 section. Nyargleblargle.png Nyargle blargle'''  (Contribs) 15:50, 14 April 2016 (EDT)

Support! I mean, come on! It's Link! He is a good fighter and the theread is clean, very nice, and has (like any other thread or whatever you call it. ∆_∆) much info! &#32;Hello! (talk) 12:22, 2 June 2016 (EDT)
 * Oppose: really starting to get tired of always featuring fighters.  Serpent SKSig.png  King  20:25, 26 June 2016 (EDT)
 * Strong oppose Same reason as Serpent King. AlbumArt-Dixie.png TabuuandMasterCore 14:07, 2 July 2016 (EDT)
 * The 46 featured articles so far have consisted of 11 characters, 12 stages , 3 game mechanics, 3 games, 3 game menu areas (SSE, My Music, and Stickers), 2 bosses, 2 items (counting the Final Smash), 2 cosmetic items (music and costumes), 2 techniques, 2 fan creations (Smashtasm and tier list), 1 special move, 1 about AI, 1 about glitches, and 1 about stage aspects (platform). At a 11:12:23 ratio of characters:stages:misc, you have a 23.9%, 26.1%, and 50% featuring proportion, respectively. For a game based heavily on the stages and fighters, these ratios are pretty much expected. If you're getting tired of us recently having featured character articles (which is a whopping number of 2 if you go back to the Master Hand glitch), you need a different voting system.  Mega  Tron1  Decepticon.png 12:34, 4 July 2016 (EDT)

Weak support. Great character for a feature article but it could be better. @Serpent King: Why do you think that? Fireball and amiibo, some of the more recent FAs, aren't about characters. D o  t  s  (talk)  The Blue 21:54, 8 July 2016 (EDT)

Super Smash Bros. Melee in competitive play
It really shows how a game designed to be non-competitive can become a competitive scene where people can win up to 15k, shows ups and downs of a important part of this Wiki, it also shows how much the competitive scene, and Smash Bros. as a whole advanced from its early days. That's including SmashWiki too. It is written in a way that many people wouldn't imagine doing, many people don't even think there was a platinum age. It also is written in long and informing paragraphs that definitly tells us a great our community is to put in that much time into one article. I can go on and on about how good this article is and how much it deserves to be featured, but i cannot make up your minds. You, and the rest of the SmashWiki community, will judge this article wisely  Poultry ( talk ) the God-Slayer 10:53, 1 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Weak support. A bit lengthy towards the end, but overall well-written and has just the right amount of images. Nyargleblargle.png Nyargle blargle'''  (Contribs) 17:36, 2 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Support per NB. Bacon  Master BaconMasterSig.png 13:30, 7 July 2016 (EDT)

 * Oppose. Featuring it will undoubtedly inflate Melee supremacists' egos.  Rick Tommy  02:20, 1 February 2017 (EST)
 * Support. This article is the most relevant to what is going on right now. My 2nd option would be stale-move-negation, but competitive melee is talked about more than any other options. How do you sign things??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by LCS (talk • contribs) 12:15, March 5, 2017 (EST)

Stage Builder
A pretty well rounded and concise article. The intro paragraph is a little short but it could be buffed up a bit or I could always pull a sentence or two from the Brawl and Smash 4 sections. Serpent   King  17:48, 1 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Support: A nice article indeed for the wiki and I like it here! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 21:38, 1 October 2016 (EDT)

Falco (SSBB)
This article was written with the same content as other featured Brawl fighter articles. Over the times more pics and other files were added to make the article more visually appealing. There are some red links to pages on standard attacks but many featured articles have that feature as well. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is made in America 01:16, 9 January 2017 (EST)


 * Oppose: Well, it's strange to feature Brawl-related articles now that it's been a while since the game has been at the front of peoples' minds.  Rick Tommy  02:20, 1 February 2017 (EST)
 * That's not really a good reason for opposing a featured article. A good article is a good article. However, I wouldn't support this one - I don't like some of the wording.  John  John3637881 Signature.png  HUAH!  13:20, 5 March 2017 (EST)

 * Support. The pipes are broken!  Rick Tommy  01:04, 22 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Oppose Attributes section is marked for cleanup, and I fully agree: His up-tilt shoryuken isn't even mentioned directly from what I can tell. Looks like a Ryu main mostly wrote it since it does have too much in-depth on weaknesses to compensate for lack of strengths. Plus there are brackets ]] floating next to "air acceleration"; just fixed it. Rob  Sir  RobSir-sig.jpg  zx  03:56, 1 July 2017 (EDT)

Screen KO
Great first paragraph and image for featuring, and the article is complete for lack of a better word. In every interation thus far and a rather zany part of smash gameplay. The star KO doesn't even break the 4th wall, mind you! Rob Sir    zx  00:35, 12 July 2017 (EDT)

Clearing the suggestions after a restart of the FA system
The following suggestions were cleared out to restart the feature article system. They are not considered failed suggestions.

King K. Rool (SSBU)
Entire page is extremely detailed with tons of tech and uses for each move. Probably one of the most detailed SSBU articles so far. The Crownerang page has 4 techs on it already as well, with execution and uses detailed, although that's probably too minor. --Plague von Karma (talk) 10:13, 1 March 2019 (EST)

Jigglypuff
Serpent King told me to vote...  Alex Parpotta the  flying lobster!  21:27, 27 December 2017 (EST)
 * Support I will agree with Alex and after all, Jigglypuff's been here since the first game. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 23:46, 27 December 2017 (EST)
 * Support I will agree with Alex because he spoke to me. --Unnamedgoon (talk) 18:34, 7 January 2018 (EST)

Rosalina & Luma (SSB4)
One of the best opening articles I've ever seen; this entire page is very detailed and Rosalina is a well-known character in Smash also. -- Pen  ro  09:16, 28 December 2017 (EST)

Support Great article. May the stars shine down on you. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 09:41, 1 January 2018 (EST)

Yoshi
Yoshi is Mario's trusted sidekick in many Mario games and is the star of his own franchise. He loves to eat enemies and turn them into eggs. A great article in my favor and I love this dinosaur. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 22:59, 15 January 2018 (EST)

Support for being the cutest guy ever and having an integral part in Smash, even if it's a small one. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the internets go! :3 22:06, 2 April 2018 (EDT)

Bowser
The King of the Koopas in the Mario franchise and archenemy of Mario. He can ride on his Koopa Clown Car, play sports and most of all... FIRE BREATH! A nice article for me. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 22:59, 15 January 2018 (EST)

Smash Ball
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Smash Ball gives them a new special attack: the Final Smash. Anyone can take it! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 07:27, 5 June 2018 (EDT)

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
The newest game of the series with all of the characters and stages! This one is going to be awesome! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 22:55, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

Oppose The game hasn't been released yet and usually an article about a game is features months or years after its release. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is a never lover boy 22:20, 28 June 2018 (EDT)

Oppose It's way too soon for this now. Aidan, the College-Bound Rurouni  22:26, 28 June 2018 (EDT)

Oppose. As the SW:FA page itself says, "articles should be reviewed for accuracy, completeness, and style." Being a page of a yet unreleased game, it misses the first two qualities at best. Nokii  ε (''T · C · L) 22:31, 28 June 2018 (EDT)

Oppose: The lack of completeness is probably the biggest problem for the obvious reason of that it's still in development. We don't know things like: if there will be more newcomers (and if so, who they are), if there will be more stages, etc. And the information we do know is subject to change. Not that the article is "bad", just not suitable for FA for now.  Voqéo T  23:07, 28 June 2018 (EDT)

Bowser (SSB4)
Bowser had the most changes out of every returning Melee veteran in the transition from Brawl to Smash 4, and even though he hasn’t been in many tournaments, he’s a great character to play as, so I think he should be given a shot at being featured! Speed48 20:26, 28 June 2018 (EDT)
 * Support I'll take that! Fire Breath, anyone? Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 00:23, 3 July 2018 (EDT)

Not entirely sure if these are being taken right now, but I believe K. Rool's article is among the most complete of Ultimate's cast so far and serves as an example as to how they should look overall. Substantial amounts of info and an a complete movelist (bar Final Smash) with in-depth analysis all around. Not one notable player lacks a page, either. The special pages, especially Crownerang, are extremely detailed and perfectly explain the moves in question. In addition, there are many pages such as Crown sliding with large amounts of detail as well. Being an SSBU Character page, it's as relevant as it can get to Smash, and it seems to have a sufficient opening paragraph. Thus it appears to fulfill all the requirements for a page to be featured on the wiki, and is a representation of how dedicated the K. Rool playerbase is. After all, the ballot is partly what got him in!
