::I have to disagree with you there. It's still directly related to their competitive career (which is what more or less makes up the bulk of most smashers' pages), albeit in another game. I can't see how it's comparable to the "Despite moving like a human, Fox has a tail" example in any way.

:::It's a bad example. I just don't see any reason to cover other fighting games in any capacity, strike a few origin sections on Street Fighter for Ryu.

::::I agree that the current example on that page is bad, but I feel like it's way too strict in regards to the trivia section. It's unrelated to "Smash", sure, but a top player making waves in another game (let's say they get Top 8 at EVO or something) warrants mention for ''their'' trivia section (one or two sentences won't detract from the content of the overall page). It's not an insignificant feat and still directly correlates to their competitive career. I contend that it doesn't violate the "irrelevance" part and I also don't feel like the current definition for it is well-defined regardless.

::::I agree that the current example on that page is bad, but I feel like the policy of "only Smash" is way too strict, at least in regards to the trivia section for smashers specifically.
