Based on [http://tcrf.net/Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl#Extra_Character_Trophies this], it seems there where to be beta trophies with various characters showing poses, and it still seems to be available in the game.

== Split ==
I think we should rename this page '''Beta element''', and split into '''List of beta elements (SSB)''', etc. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:Ac2k|Ac2k]] ([[User talk:Ac2k|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ac2k|contribs]]) 11:23, 25 April 2013</small>
== Rename ==
To quote the comment I left [[Talk:Beta elements (SSB)|here]]; "''Beta isn't and has never been a catchall term, it refers to a specific point in game development before shipping. Prerelease, early, and unused are catchalls. Claiming beta is a catchall for content seen in prerelease screenshots/unused in the game's code is like claiming dubstep is a catchall for all genres of electronica.''" --[[User:Murabito|Murabito]] ([[User talk:Murabito|talk]]) 14:58, 17 September 2014 (EDT)
:But it is a catchall term, and simple denial will not change that. If you have nothing better to do than bicker over something that you alone care about, perhaps you should consider refraining from editing for a while. If nothing else, I would have hoped the IP block you received would have been a clear warning for you to stop.--[[User:Anothrgamer1234|Anothrgamer1234]] ([[User talk:Anothrgamer1234|talk]]) 15:21, 17 September 2014 (EDT)
::lern2debate kthx. You seem to be the one in denial. Back to my point: Dubstep, despite being a genre of electronica, is not a catchall for all electronica genres. Beta is in the same ball park. It refers to a point of development, but it is not a catchall for altered or unused content from prerelease footage/unused game code, which could have been removed far earlier in development. It seems to be futile convincing you since you won't listen and in general you're turning a blind eye to things that are blatantly obvious. --[[User:Murabito|Murabito]] ([[User talk:Murabito|talk]]) 15:30, 17 September 2014 (EDT)
:::Beta can refer to a specific phase of development, but it is also very generally used as a synonym for "prerelease". The page title isn't inaccurate.

:You're sticking your fingers in your ears again. The title is inaccurate. Beta only refers to one phase of development, you all know which one or probably don't because you're all not listening to reason. The erroneous use of beta as a synonym to refer to prerelease or unused content is likely an error which became mainspread not unlike a disease after some guy mislabeled some early/unused content. Two wrongs don't make a right. --[[User:Murabito|Murabito]] ([[User talk:Murabito|talk]]) 12:45, 18 September 2014 (EDT)
::The unfortunate reality is, incorrect language becomes correct through usage. Your argument is nothing but "it's technically incorrect", which is typically a weak argument by [[SW:OFFICIAL|our standards]]. I agree that it's lame to use the term "beta" as a catch-all, but if the majority wants to keep doing it, we can't really stop them.

::No it does not, the incorrect language is still incorrect. It only becomes "correct" because we have to cater to morons who don't do their research. It took 5 minutes to find the correct meaning of beta. But if this wikia wants to cater to illiterate shitheads, that's fine by me. We don't have to be the majority, we're allowed to refer to prerelease content by its correct title (unsuprisingly, prerelease), beta can be a redirect instead. --[[User:Murabito|Murabito]] ([[User talk:Murabito|talk]]) 12:59, 18 September 2014 (EDT)

:As far as I can tell, the argument for renaming is that Murabito (and nobody else) considers the name to be incorrect and that the wiki as a whole is "stupid" to leave it as is, in spite of the fact that renaming it would have no effect on the actual content and was never offensive or even incorrect in the first place. If anything, it seems to me that the problem lies less with the article name and more with the user who feels like his personal preference override the consensus of the entire wiki.
