Forum:Wanted game assets

Forums: Index → Watercooler → Wanted game assets

Hey guys. So you may know that me and Disaster Flare recently finished (or as close as we are going to get for the moment) getting various assets and screenshots prepared for all character pages in all games. What I wanted to ask you guys is this: should we have something we don't? I am going to put a few suggestions for you guys to vote on below, but if you guys think of something that I didn't, feel free to add another. Thanks! Serpent King 18:40, 21 December 2015 (EST)

Narrator chants for each character

The narration that plays when you select a character.

1. I think this would be a good idea, and was actually something I felt should've been there ever since I joined the wiki. Disaster Flare (talk) 18:44, 21 December 2015 (EST)
2. I could see some value in documenting this. As a side note, do we already have Brawl's Wiimote noises that go with these? Nyargleblargle (Contribs) 18:56, 21 December 2015 (EST)

   Yes we do. Disaster Flare (talk) 18:56, 21 December 2015 (EST)

3. Support. Seems like a good idea. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 20:01, 21 December 2015 (EST)

All-Star portraits

Portraits used to tell the player who they'll be battling next in All-Star mode.

1. Support. I like anything that shows images of characters :P That, and I think this would be a nice addition. If not for every character, one or two to be used as an example on the All-Star mode pages. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 20:01, 21 December 2015 (EST)

Pokémon cries

Cries heard when releasing a Pokémon.

1. I personally think that we should do this, and maybe even include the updated cries that they did for Gen VI (albeit Greninja for obvious reasons). We could also give the summon Pokémon this treatment too. Disaster Flare (talk) 18:44, 21 December 2015 (EST)

   I need to stop misreading things. XD Disaster Flare (talk) 20:20, 21 December 2015 (EST)

2. Support Summon Pokémon only; unneeded for the entrance animations IMO. Nyargleblargle (Contribs) 18:56, 21 December 2015 (EST)
3. Support Like Nyargle said, summons only. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 20:01, 21 December 2015 (EST)

   Wait, is this for the sounds heard in Smash, or the sounds heard in the original Pokemon games? Because we definitely don't need the ones from the Pokemon games. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 20:18, 21 December 2015 (EST)

   Smash. Serpent King 20:19, 21 December 2015 (EST)

   Okay, good. Then yeah, I support. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 20:20, 21 December 2015 (EST)

Controller icons from Brawl

From the button config menu, could be used in our button nav template.

1. Might as well use the official ones. Nyargleblargle (Contribs) 19:17, 21 December 2015 (EST)
2. Support Definitely should use official ones when possible. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 20:01, 21 December 2015 (EST)

Masterpiece icons

Preview shots from masterpieces.

1. Support Might be worth putting on the Masterpiece pages. Disaster Flare (talk) 19:06, 21 December 2015 (EST)
2. Per DF. Nyargleblargle (Contribs) 19:17, 21 December 2015 (EST)
3. Support Absolutely a great idea. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 20:01, 21 December 2015 (EST)

Subspace Emissary preview icons

Preview icons for each stage in Subspace Emissary.

1. We should use stage preview icons wherever we can't get an image without players at native resolution. Nyargleblargle (Contribs) 19:17, 21 December 2015 (EST)
2. Neutral to oppose: Seems like overkill to me, but I figured I'd bring it up anyway. Serpent King 19:23, 21 December 2015 (EST)
3. Support Sounds useful. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 20:01, 21 December 2015 (EST)

um

Can I hard oppose most of these? We're not VG Resource and shouldn't be trying to dump copious file rips on every possible page. I think the question to ask before adding anything like these is "how much does the article really need this?" For example, Announcer#Audio comparison is a useful point of comparison and necessary since text descriptions don't cover audio comparisons well. However, I would strongly oppose adding a full list of all of those types of clips. Miles (talk) 19:39, 21 December 2015 (EST)

Well the only ones I really have my heart set on are the Pokemon cries and narrator names. I want (most) of the rest, but I would be highly disappointed if I couldn't included those 2. Serpent King 19:44, 21 December 2015 (EST)

I think anything that shows more about the subject is relevant, and most of this would. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 19:59, 21 December 2015 (EST)

We really have absolutely no reason to have sound clips for the Poke Ball Pokemon. Whatsoever. Miles (talk) 23:00, 21 December 2015 (EST)

Except it's relevant to our series. Serpent King 23:02, 21 December 2015 (EST)

We don't include general sound clips for playable characters (and shouldn't); I fail to see why we would want that for summons. Miles (talk) 23:04, 21 December 2015 (EST)

Why wouldn't we? The Pokemon pages are mostly lacking in media anyway, what's wrong with adding a little more? Serpent King 23:08, 21 December 2015 (EST)
