Past tense or present for articles about Melee or the original? My preference would be present tense, since, well, people still play those two games, and using the past tense would cast the impression that they're "dead games" or something. I'd like your opinions before making any sweeping copy-edits to change it to present tense, though. <font face="centaur">– [[User:MaskedMarth|MaskedMarth]] <sup>([[User talk:MaskedMarth|t]] [[Special:Contributions/MaskedMarth|c]])</sup></font> 19:35, 18 November 2008 (UTC) | Past tense or present for articles about Melee or the original?

Past tense or present for articles about Melee or the original? My preference would be present tense, since, well, people still play those two games, and using the past tense would cast the impression that they're "dead games" or something. I'd like your opinions before making any sweeping copy-edits to change it to present tense, though. – MaskedMarth (t c) 19:35, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
- I guess I should give an example. He's a short one: A similar move in SSBM (called the Wall-grapple) existed for Link, Young Link and Samus. My proposed change would be to change the "existed" to "exists." And to make similar tense changes for all such references to Melee and SSB. – MaskedMarth (t c) 19:37, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
