===[[Kazuya (SSBU)]]===
This article looks very well written for an [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|''Ultimate'' DLC character]] to me, especially considering the amount of technical data articles we at SmashWiki had to create for Kazuya's 38 moves. It must've taken a lot of willing contributors and/or massive effort to bring the article to its near-complete if not complete status we have today, including the articles detailing his [[command-input move]]s, special moves, [[Crouch Dash]], technical data for each move (except for [[Heaven's Door]] and [[Final Blaster]], which do not have technical articles yet), etc. Deserves featured article status to me.

A sparsely-remembered yet unique event from the early days of ''Smash''. Lots of detail and citations to back them up. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 11:15, June 25, 2023 (EDT)

:How would characters/universes without specific anniversaries like Pac-Man, Bomberman and Virtua Fighter be handled? And in cases such as Mario and Donkey Kong, does that mean that we'll need to feature four articles? Pokémon alone would need a whopping eight articles featured, depending on how you count the Trainer's Pokémon. That will get overwhelming very quickly if they'll be featured as prominently as regular featured articles.

::Note how I used the word "or" ("Sonic the Hedgehog '''''or''''' the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' universe", "Ryu, Ken, '''''or''''' the ''Street Fighter'' universe", "Cloud Strife '''''or''''' Sephiroth")—it would only be one page as the featured article at a time, cycling through a predetermined pattern. For stuff like Pac-Man, Bomberman, and Virtua Fighter, I want to say that Sakurai has posted on Twitter for those anniversaries in the past, and we could use those dates as a basis—if not, we could use the first of the month that they debuted in (and if it came down to only knowing a year, then we could reach some agreement on how to handle that). I'd be more than happy to compile information surrounding my above suggestion to make sure everyone knew what was associated with which date.

:Right away I notice the bloated gallery and trivia sections, I'm not even going to bother reviewing the rest of the article as long as these two glaring problems have not been addressed yet, which are two things directly stated as needing cleaning up in our [[SW:Project|projects page]]. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 06:26, June 28, 2023 (EDT)
