The Effect page with it's various sub-pages could use some sound clips of the noises made when attacks of those type connect. Now, this isn't unnecessary or filler in my opinion. This has pretty practical applications. I will attempt to demonstrate with some pretty dumb but hopefully insightful examples:

  • *reading Slash* "Oh, Judge #4 is a slash attack? It's a freaking hammer, not a sword. I don't think so..." *listens to hitsound and subconsciously remembers since sounds are directly linked to most effects* "Oh, it is a slash attack, my b."
  • "Ok, so Paralyze and Electric are different attacks? They seem really similar, how are they different?" *listens to the obvious difference in sound of the two effects* "They are different, I guess"
  • "I forgot what it sounds like when I am hit with this attack... hrmmm..." *simply listens to conveniently placed hitsound of an attack with this effect* "Yeah, that's right!"

In all honesty, it's not like the effect articles are getting visited more than like twice a week by anyone other than contributors. It really doesn't concern anyone much I'm sure. But uploading files needs consensus and solid reasoning so. RobSir RobSir-sig.jpg zx 23:29, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

Well I think I've already made my opinion clear: this is unnecessary. We are not The Sounds Resources, and as such, battle sounds are not within our scope of inclusion. I understand what you are going for here, but really...text does the same thing except easier. Serpent SKSig.png King 23:01, 27 March 2016 (EDT)

Sorry but your fundamental premise is incorrect. Many Paralyze attacks use the Shock SFX. Ganondorf's down aerial is an electric attack with the Burn SFX. Young Link's and Toon Link's swords use the punch and kick sounds. Effect and sound many usually be linked, but trying to force this connection is a bad idea. Toomai Glittershine ???
