Forum:Improvements to the "In competitive play" section of character articles

Forums: Index → Watercooler → Improvements to the "In competitive play" section of character articles

In our character articles, we have a "In competitive play" section that consists of only their matchups for every character, with the exception of Meta Knight (who has a subsection there on his banning). To improve the information on our character articles and to make this section more worthwhile, I plan to add the following to them:

• Tournament success

• • For this section, we simply list the amount of money the character has won in tournaments for each year, the data of which can be found in John#s' blog on AiB. I'm not sure where we can find equivalent data for Melee and SSB64 though.

• Impact in tournament

• • Simply, a section describing the character's historic and overall impact in tournament play, as well as competitive attitudes towards the character.

• Notable professionals

• • This would be section that would list the most notable players to use the character in tournament, as well as a short description for each describing their notability and success with the character, as well as their own impact on the character's metagame.

So then, any comments before I start adding this stuff in my revision of each character article, as well as suggestions for additional things we could add to improve the competitive information in our character articles? Omega Tyrant 11:27, 21 August 2012 (EDT)

In my eyes, the tournament succes does not rely on the characters, but the players. In that case, it should not go in a character article.--File:PSIWolf sig 2.png PSIWolf ^{The one and only!} 11:38, 21 August 2012 (EDT)

1. It's player and character, no matter how much you want to be ignorant about it. 2. You offered no explanation how any of this potential information is not relevant to the character. Omega Tyrant 11:49, 21 August 2012 (EDT)

1. How good the character does depends on how the player uses him or her. For example, you have Meta Knight, but someone who can't play Brawl uses him. That won't turn out well.

2. Because it is relevant to the Smasher.--File:PSIWolf sig 2.png PSIWolf ^{The one and only!} 11:51, 21 August 2012 (EDT)
