About her eye color, I may be wrong but I compared her ''SSB4'' and ''Other M'' eye colors using official renders and photos of Max Factory's statue. They seem to be more blue-green in the former and closer to emerald green in the latter (the green is fairly striking), so I don't think her eye color is taken directly from ''Other M''.--[[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] ([[User talk:Darthrai|talk]]) 16:36, 12 June 2017 (EDT)

Not directly related to ''Smash'', but I think it's inconsistent with her hair color in the same way, where pre-rendered cutscenes have it as golden blonde (like your first link) and gameplay has it as bright yellow (like your second link). So that's probably where the difference lies.--[[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] ([[User talk:Darthrai|talk]]) 19:11, 12 June 2017 (EDT)
== Regarding {{SSB4|Palutena}}'s page ==
I saw you wrote about Palutena's back throw, side taunt and victory pose being forms of pole-dancing. While the community can agree it "looks” like it, many are aware it's not. In the case of her side taunt and victory pose, her staff is not in the middle of her legs, or even at the crotch area, both of her legs are on the same side of the staff. What you are thinking about is actually a twirl. A move used in gymnastics. As for her back throw, it is indeed an inverted Arabesque, a ballet kick.
Both admins and other users in this wiki have agreed that, despite what [[SW:NOT#SmashWiki is not censored|SW:NOT]] says, the moves are not any reference to pole-dancing, it's just Palutena being her graceful and fun-seeking self. So what I would recommend you to do is to just remove any trace of pole-dancing on her page, so that it looks more professional and accurate. And of you don't, please do not edit war about it of someone else does it, as the [[SW:1RV]] policy would state.
ty in advance. --[[File:BeepYouSignature.png|40px]] [[User:Beep|<font color="Black">'''Beep'''</font>]] [[File:BeepYouSignature.png|40px]] [[User talk:Beep|<font color="Black">'''(talk)'''</font>]] 04:09, 2 July 2017 (EDT)
:In case you still don't believe us, [[:File:PalutenaSideTauntSSB4.jpg|this image of Palutena's side taunt clearly shows the staff next to her legs instead of between her legs]], and if you disassemble the gif of her victory animation, you can see the same exact behaviour. As <s>fitting</s> amusing as that would be, Palutena's animations are not a reference to pole dancing.
:Something else I'd like to add on is that constant re-adding removed information from articles can be considered disruptive behaviour, something that is a [[SmashWiki:Blocking_guidelines#Block_reasons|blockable offence]].

In response to evidence provided on [[User_talk:Monsieur_Crow#About_Palutena.27s_dances|my talk page]] and [[User_talk:Beep#About_Palutena.27s_dances|Beep's talk page]], I am ultimately more willing to consider the IP's opinion on Palutena's animations, and I would not be opposed to including such information on her page, providing references to the Arabesque are kept, as there exists ambiguity as to which Sakurai could have referenced, that zany trolling dev.
In the future, however, please try to respond to talkpage messages on the original page they're posted on, or try to consolidate them on one relevant talk page (such as [[Talk:Palutena (SSB4)|Palutena's]]), as it makes it easier for all parties to follow arguments.

::Duly noted. And like I mentioned on Beep's talk page, I'm on board with keeping the inverted Arabesque. With that being said, would her page be allowed to be edited accordingly now? Or should we wait after a larger consensus views the evidence I provided? [[Special:Contributions/173.171.36.66|173.171.36.66]] 21:45, 2 July 2017 (EDT)
:::Immediately editing without waiting for other to respond is generally considered in poor form. I think it's best to wait a bit for Beep at the very least to respond, as well as maybe one or two other users.

:::::Amid the lack of response from Beep, who has made some edits since you posted on his talkpage, alongside the lack of other editors who have responded to this, I think it's safe to put such information on the page, while keeping references to the Arabesque.

==Making an account==
I must say, you have done quite well in editing so far, both in volume and for being able to handle yourself in disputes. Have you considered [[SmashWiki:Why create an account?|creating an account]] instead of anonymously editing?

:I would like to add that this user has been doing edits anonymously for quite a while; if you scroll above we had a little conflict with Marth/Lucina's throw descriptions that was settled peacefully half a year ago. It is still recommended that you make a simple userpage. [[User:Archrelico|Archrelico]] ([[User talk:Archrelico|talk]]) 12:41, 8 July 2017 (EDT)
::I appreciate the positive response, but I likely won't make an account because I only bother with some SSB4-related stuff. If SSB5 ever happens, I'll strongly consider it, though. [[Special:Contributions/173.171.36.66|173.171.36.66]] 14:05, 8 July 2017 (EDT)
== Your KO %s ==
I'm legit curious from where are you getting them. Because a lot of them are very innacurate. --[[File:BeepYouSignature.png|40px]] [[User:Beep|<font color="Black">'''Beep'''</font>]] [[User talk:Beep|<font color="Black">'''(talk)'''</font>]] 23:41, 22 August 2017 (EDT)
I'm curious too, Sonic's (and apparently Luigi's) attacks KO earlier than you state, test them for yourself. I'm fairly sure Luigi's back air can KO Mario under 100% at the ledge even with good DI. I didn't change that yet because I didn't test it yet. <span style="font-family:Corbel; font-size:12pt">[[User:Smash Master|<span style="color:darkblue">'''Smash''']] [[User talk:Smash Master|<span style="color:darkgreen">'''Master'''</span>]]</span></span> 23:58, 22 August 2017 (EDT)
:I did test them, hence why I edited their pages accordingly. I test combos and KOs on Mario (AKA the series' benchmark middleweight as of Melee) on Final Destination. In regard to KOs specifically, I test KOing options that launch horizontally on the edge of FD, since that is where they are logically the most ideal location to perform them in order to test their efficiency. If you guys haven't used Mario as a training dummy, then it's no surprise that whatever numbers you got wound up being wonky.

::I use Mario, put him on the center of FD, but implement no DI on any calculation. And specifically use Wii U FD. I calculate them with Rubendal's Smash Calculator. --[[File:BeepYouSignature.png|40px]] [[User:Beep|<font color="Black">'''Beep'''</font>]] [[User talk:Beep|<font color="Black">'''(talk)'''</font>]] 01:32, 23 August 2017 (EDT)
:::Well, I found the problem between our findings: I've been testing on SSB3D ([https://twitter.com/kuroganehammer/status/848490085989273601 which I had to see for myself about the whole "having larger blast lines than SSBU" notion]), whereas you guys have been testing on SSBU. As a result, my findings and your findings are '''both''' correct, albeit in regard to their respective versions of SSB4. So with that being said, I think the best course of action would be to list the KO percentages for both versions of SSB4 within each character's moveset tables, since SSB4 is an umbrella term for two games instead of one.

== Suggestion for KO percentages ==
Hey IP, I'd like to say good work for the KO percent updates. I'd like to suggest something in order to keep the Moveset section as uncluttered as possible. How about shortening all KO descriptions from "''KOs at X% at the edge on 3DS; meanwhile, it KOs at X% on Wii U''" to "''X%{{GameIcon|ssb4-3ds}}/X%{{GameIcon|ssb4-u}}''"? In addition, you could probably add in the top where it lists eg. "''Dr. Mario can wall jump''" with a separate note that says "''All KO percentages are calculated from the middle of Final Destination unless otherwise stated, with the respective game version listed beside each number''". I think that will save a lot of text space.
Also a side thing I want to note involving your links to exterior sites for descriptions such as spinning backfists, spread-eagle poses and the like; in my opinion, I think we should have as little of these animation descriptions as possible unless its something extremely unknown (eg. Ryu's back throw being a tomoe nage). It was most obvious in this:
''{{change|Donkey Kong is much more expressive. He now smiles with his [[wikipedia:Pursed lip breathing|lips pursed]] during his self-congratulatory [[victory pose]], he sports a tooth grin during his backflip victory pose, [[wikipedia:Gorilla#Communication|chest-beating]] victory pose, and {{GameIcon|ssb4-3ds}}and side taunt, he scowls during his down aerial and up [[taunt]], he appears confused during his down taunt, his irises [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises shrink] when he is hit, [[grab]]bed, [[screen KO]]'d, or when an opponent escapes his [[grab]], and his [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EyePop eyes comically bulge outward] when he is launched. Most of Donkey Kong's animations are also more fluid.}}''
As you can see, the blue links clutter out actual links within the wiki and are linking to a lot of non smash-related articles. This is just my own constructive criticism; if you want to keep adding links like that, by all means keep doing so, but try not to overload descriptive words with links to an example. It's still all really good work! [[User:Archrelico|Archrelico]] ([[User talk:Archrelico|talk]]) 12:16, 27 August 2017 (EDT)
:I'm on board with your "''All KO percentages are calculated from the middle of Final Destination unless otherwise stated, with the respective game version listed beside each number''" idea that also utilizes each version's respective logo to represent the percentages because, funnily enough, I used the 3DS and Wii U symbols because I also found my original wording to be too cluttered. However, Toomai was against using the logos for some odd reason and undid that edit to {{SSB4|Luigi}}'s page, so I instead used "''3DS'' version / ''Wii U'' version" as a shorthand description for each verison. If you guys can come to a consensus on how to better format the percentages for each version, I'll definitely help out with implementing it.
:As for the non-Smash-related links, I implemented them in order to provide to additional context to the descriptions. I would prefer to keep the NIWA-related links because of how the Smash series is related to numerous series. However, I'm fine with removing any non-NIWA links for the sake of reducing clutter. As for the move descriptions, I'm also on board with trimming them down, but would prefer retaining any specifically named attacks (ex. spinning backfist, flying kick, tomoe nage, etc.) for the sake of keeping the descriptions encyclopedic.
:With all of that being said, I really appreciate the advice. :) [[Special:Contributions/173.171.36.66|173.171.36.66]] 20:19, 27 August 2017 (EDT)
