===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee in competitive play]]=== | |||
It really shows how a game designed to be non-competitive can become a competitive scene where people can win up to 15k, shows ups and downs of a important part of this Wiki, it also shows how much the competitive scene, and Smash Bros. as a whole advanced from its early days. That's including SmashWiki too. It is written in a way that many people wouldn't imagine doing, many people don't even think there was a platinum age. It also is written in long and informing paragraphs that definitly tells us a great our community is to put in that much time into one article. I can go on and on about how good this article is and how much it deserves to be featured, but i cannot make up your minds. You, and the rest of the SmashWiki community, will judge this article wisely [[File:PoultrysigSSB4.png|20x50px]][[User:Poultry|<font color="red">'''Poultry'''</font>]][[File:PoultrysigSSBM.png|20x50px]]''([[User talk:Poultry#top|<font color="blue">talk</font>]])'' the God-Slayer 10:53, 1 July 2016 (EDT) | |||

Revision as of 00:28, July 1, 2017
Marth
Character description is one of the best I've seen, being near-perfect in length and detail, and describes Marth's Smash Bros appearances very well. Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 18:10, 29 September 2015 (EDT)
- Bump after Wave 4 DLC. Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 08:36, 2 October 2015 (EDT)
- Support: Honestly, he's easily one of my favorite characters that was added in Melee. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 08:44, 2 October 2015 (EDT)
Another bump. Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 11:59, 14 October 2015 (EDT)
Oppose: The page is in full protection due to edit warring.Serpent∞King (talk) 12:54, 14 October 2015 (EDT)- Edit wars are not relevant to FAs IMHO. INoMed (Talk • Contribs) 16:14, 16 October 2015 (EDT)
- I think the point is that having the first wiki article new visitors see unable to be edited by them sends the wrong message. Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 16:15, 16 October 2015 (EDT)
- Agreed; while Marth was one of two personal favorite additions to Melee to me, a protected article makes the point mute. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 16:17, 16 October 2015 (EDT)
- I think the point is that having the first wiki article new visitors see unable to be edited by them sends the wrong message. Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 16:15, 16 October 2015 (EDT)
- Edit wars are not relevant to FAs IMHO. INoMed (Talk • Contribs) 16:14, 16 October 2015 (EDT)
Result: Passed. Serpent King 16:35, 26 January 2016 (EST)
Ness
Look at this. Just look at this. It explains everything about him without going into too much detail, and it has a decent amount of info and trivia.Qwerty the lord 19:43, 19 May 2014 (EDT)
- Per Qwerty. As long as it isn't "knockback" anymore, I'm fine with it. --Meester Tweester (talk) 19:36, 21 April 2015 (EDT)
- Not flawlessly written, but pretty good. I don't know how it compares to other featured articles, so I'll remain neutral for now. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 19:42, 21 April 2015 (EDT)
Result: Failed by expiry. Serpent King 16:39, 26 January 2016 (EST)
Fireball
Describes the functions of both Mario and Luigi's fireballs and the origin of the move extremely well. Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 16:04, 16 October 2015 (EDT)
- Bump. Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 13:14, 20 October 2015 (EDT)
- support Serpent∞King (talk) 17:02, 26 October 2015 (EDT)
- Support Organized. Penro ...that's all. 15:58, 28 February 2016 (EST)
- support Serpent∞King (talk) 17:02, 26 October 2015 (EDT)
Weak support May honestly be the best special move article along with Blaster and Reflector. However, I don't really think its all that too special. Dots (talk) The Greninja 19:13, 2 March 2016 (EST)
- Support. It's undoubtedly the most well-known special move to newbies. RickTommy 22:46, 2 March 2016 (EST)
- Support. Has a lot of info. -- Ethan(Discussion) 23:21, 2 March 2016 (EST)
Support seeing as it's one of the best special move articles. BaconMasterLuck o' the Irish. 19:57, 3 March 2016 (EST)
- Support I agree, lots of special move articles are either a mess or partially incomplete. This one is nice and notable. RobSir zx 07:45, 4 March 2016 (EST)
Strong Support. I've been a Mario fan, and Fireball should fit the featured article section nicely.(Accidentally misplaced, remind me not to do that again) Pika, Poyo poyo poyo 18:10, 4 March 2016 (EST)
Weak support. This article is fine, and I don't think it's all that great, but I'd rather have this featured than all the rest. MuteSpittah (talk) 18:37, 6 March 2016 (EST)
neutral Poultry(talk) the Pumpkin Pie 14:18, 7 March 2016 (EST)
Strong Support! This is used by Mario & Luigi and I couldn't agree more! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 22:58, 7 March 2016 (EST)
Strong Support! There's nothing better, Mario and Luigi has the best special move, the Fireball! TabuuandMasterCore (talk) 12:19, 8 March 2016 (EST)
Support A solid discussion point in general for Smash, very relatable for a wide audience of video game players. 15DollarsWentSouth 19:51, 8 March 2016 (EST)
Strong Support!! Probably the most well known special move, and it's good! I hope this becomes featured. The reasons above are also my reason. It's viability of being featured is the same as SSBB Meta Knight! Swagman, the Green Swordsman 09:48, 11 March 2016 (EST)
Support A strong article, and a well known special move. All the reasons above as well. Paper Boatz (talk) 08:50, 14 March 2016 (EDT)
Neutral There's nothing wrong with the page; it's pretty good actually, but I'm not sure if it's FA-worthy. --Andymii (talk) 20:28, 17 March 2016 (EDT)
Result: Passed. Serpent King 23:10, 1 April 2016 (EDT)
Jigglypuff
its an oddball player that only this guy respects, come on, give it a chance! btw i support Nintendofan1653 (talk) EZMONEY!! 17:07, 26 January 2016 (EST)
- I think FAs are supposed to be how good the article is, not what the article is about. -- Ethan(Discussion) 13:46, 27 January 2016 (EST)
Not bad for a quite notable character appearing across all four Smash games but there's still a lot more work to be developed for Jigglypuff's character articles. Dots (talk) The Greninja 19:13, 2 March 2016 (EST)
- Support. As much as I dislike Jiggly, it's a good feature for April Fools' Day. RickTommy 22:30, 2 March 2016 (EST)
- Weak oppose. Could have more written about it. -- Ethan(Discussion) 23:21, 2 March 2016 (EST)
- Weak oppose for the same reasons as Ethan. BaconMasterLuck o' the Irish. 19:57, 3 March 2016 (EST)
- Oppose. Kinda weak article. Not very meaty either. Some of the writing isn't very good. MuteSpittah (talk) 23:01, 7 March 2016 (EST)
- Support. i'm all for jigglypuff being featured. its similar to kirby in the sense that its a round pink thing, but i think more people would recognize it if the article was featured. besides, jigglypuff is mega popular
- Weak oppose for the same reasons as Ethan. BaconMasterLuck o' the Irish. 19:57, 3 March 2016 (EST)
Result: Failed by lack of support. Serpent King 23:10, 1 April 2016 (EDT)
Alternate costume (SSB4)
I believe this is worthy of featured article considering how many characters there are in the game with each one having at least 8 alternate costumes (400+ costumes) with almost each one coming from (or likely referencing) costumes from their respective universes, while being able to accurately inform in great detail where those swaps originate from and filtering out information that is too speculative or just plain false. Also, Brawl's was featured. Unknown the Hedgehog 14:22, 27 January 2016 (EST)
- Weak oppose. Too much debate surrounding it, and tbh if someone actually looked into it I bet you 50% of the costumes listed there are really huge stretches. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 22:47, 27 January 2016 (EST)
- Yes, I also have some...concerns with this page. Given that I have went through it...multiple times...to clean out the undesirable descriptions only to find more the next week, I have to oppose. Serpent King 22:50, 27 January 2016 (EST)
- I would say 50% is a huge exaggeration considering it has been gone through multiple times by multiple people since it was made and, from what I could see, I haven't seen a one time removal of mass false information. Which indicates to me that this article has been well kept up on the info being added. Yes, the occasional false info sometimes comes, but nothing major that hasn't been fixed somewhat quickly. Unknown the Hedgehog 23:04, 27 January 2016 (EST)
- Well, yes, I did exaggerate (and purposefully), but I still think that too much of the page is really just garbage comparisons to be a featured article. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 14:38, 3 February 2016 (EST)
- What about the main alternate costume page? Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 14:43, 3 February 2016 (EST)
- Ehhhh, it's less messy but not as informative. It basically serves as navigation and basic descriptions that if you don't understand already you have a problem. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 14:53, 3 February 2016 (EST)
- oppose it has a cleanup tag on it Poultry(talk) the fluffy 16:18, 5 February 2016 (EST)
- Yeah,oppose. Just because it's big doesn't mean it's good. Penro ...that's all. 19:44, 12 February 2016 (EST)
- oppose it has a cleanup tag on it Poultry(talk) the fluffy 16:18, 5 February 2016 (EST)

- Oppose. This page get changed too much. Each costume has a description, then it gets removed later without warning. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is made in America 09:27, 1 March 2016 (EST)
- Oppose. On very, very shaky ground in terms of what it does have. Nyargleblargle (Contribs) 18:35, 2 March 2016 (EST)
Oppose. Changes too much to be an outstanding article. -- Ethan(Discussion) 23:21, 2 March 2016 (EST)
Oppose. This page has come a long way, but it's simply unstable - content is constantly being changed, removed, added in, and there are soooo many stretches. MuteSpittah (talk) 18:53, 6 March 2016 (EST)
Oppose The page functions, but is definitely not FA-worthy. There's arguably not too much content; it's mostly a list. --Andymii (talk) 20:30, 17 March 2016 (EDT)
Result: Failed by lack of support. Serpent King 23:10, 1 April 2016 (EDT)
Announcer
The announcer plays an important part in Smash. From announcing characters to calling matches, I think that this should be good enough to be featured. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 16:32, 3 April 2016 (EDT)
- It's about the article, not the subject. This article is nothing special in my opinion. -- Ethan(Discussion) 17:18, 3 April 2016 (EDT)
- Hard oppose: The intro paragraph is far too short, meaning that to actually feature this, we'd have to included text from the other sections, making this a real mess of a feature article. Serpent King 17:23, 3 April 2016 (EDT)
I had this in mind for my potentially good articles list but it looks too underdeveloped. Dots (talk) The Justice 19:31, 3 April 2016 (EDT)
- Oppose, there isn't much to be said about the Announcers in the first place hence the lack of content and underdeveloped nature of the article. MuteSpittah (talk) 22:49, 3 April 2016 (EDT)
Result: Failed by ineligibility. Serpent King 00:00, 8 April 2016 (EDT)
Roy
Roy is arguably one of the most popular Smash characters (and was one of two most wanted veterans to return to Smash, alongside Mewtwo). Additionally, Marth and Roy both contributed to bringing Fire Emblem to the western audiences, making their inclusion in Melee a very smart decision on Sakurai's part. Honestly, as I think about it, I don't know anyone who DOESN'T know who Roy is. Even some of my non-Smash playing friends know who he is. Disaster Flare (talk) 16:51, 26 January 2016 (EST)
- I think FAs are supposed to be how good the article is, not what the article is about. -- Ethan(Discussion) 13:46, 27 January 2016 (EST)
- Well then in that case, this was pointless. :I Disaster Flare (talk) 13:47, 27 January 2016 (EST)
- If the article is as good as Marth's, than it should be a FA. How does this article stand out, how informative is it, etc. -- Ethan(Discussion) 13:51, 27 January 2016 (EST)
- Despite the fact that its reason for nomination isn't relevant for featured articleship, I do support this. Roy's page is very well written. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 14:39, 3 February 2016 (EST)
- weak support Poultry(talk) the fluffy 17:02, 7 February 2016 (EST)
- Same as Poultry Somewhat of an odd an unknown character, but very long and useful, and gives a great impression on people looking to this wiki for info. Penro ...that's all. 15:58, 28 February 2016 (EST)
- Remember, it's about the article, not the subject. But I support. -- Ethan(Discussion) 16:37, 28 February 2016 (EST)

Neutral leaning towards support. Not quite as good as Marth's; it goes into too much detail IMO, but still an excellent article. Nyargleblargle (Contribs) 18:35, 2 March 2016 (EST)
Neutral His popularity status and well developed character articles makes it a good article for FA but Ethan7 said it. Dots (talk) The Greninja 19:13, 2 March 2016 (EST)
- Support. Well, he is one of my Melee mains. RickTommy 22:46, 2 March 2016 (EST)
- Please read the reminder above. Penro ...that's all. 23:04, 3 March 2016 (EST)
Support; It's well written, and flows quite nicely. BaconMasterLuck o' the Irish. 19:57, 3 March 2016 (EST)
Weak oppose In all honesty, we just had Marth so perhaps we put this one on the back burner. We're not Sakurai, we don't love FE that much. RobSir zx 07:45, 4 March 2016 (EST)
- Oppose I can't help but feel like having Roy be a featured article out of all the FE characters would feel very biased to fans, because everyone has a different preference on what character comes to their mind when they think of Fire Emblem in general. 15DollarsWentSouth 15:48, 6 March 2016 (EST)
- In that case we shouldn't have any articles on any Fire Emblem characters. Weak support, it doesn't stand out, just like Fireball doesn't, but it's second-best in comparison to all other nominees. MuteSpittah (talk) 19:08, 6 March 2016 (EST)
- I was more so referring to the reasons given on why he should become a featured article. "I don't know anyone who DOESN'T know who Roy is" sounds heavily biased to me. 15DollarsWentSouth 14:17, 7 March 2016 (EST)
- Oh ok. Well it's more of an assumption than a biased statement. A biased statement is just a statement slanted by personal opinion. MuteSpittah (talk) 22:47, 7 March 2016 (EST)

Leaning towards oppose; I deeply respect Iwata, but I have to admit the article itself is nothing particularly special. It's also a bit short to recommend as a FA, by my judgment. Miles (talk) 17:39, 1 March 2016 (EST)
- Do you want me to count this as neutral or oppose? Serpent King 18:18, 1 March 2016 (EST)
- Oppose. I respect Iwata a ton as well, but I think the ship has sailed for SW to have given a tribute to him. In addition, the article is pretty basic and short in length, and nothing really stands out to me that leads me to think that it should be a FA. MuteSpittah (talk) 18:58, 1 March 2016 (EST)
- I just want to point out: Since when has it been a bad thing for an article to be short? Serpent King 19:02, 1 March 2016 (EST)
- Nothing. It's just that, and I'm not sure how everyone else feels about this, but if there's going to be a featured article I'd expect it to me meaty. Not particularly long but not particularly short. Long enough to cover the topic, short enough to keep it interesting. There's not enough meat on the bones of the article for it to be something interesting enough to be something featured. That's just my sentiment though. I know it's not a requirement. MuteSpittah (talk) 19:11, 1 March 2016 (EST)
- Except the article does cover its topic, and its interesting in my opinion (of course I could be biased as a wrote the thing, but...) Serpent King 19:18, 1 March 2016 (EST)
- It could be better and more interesting. That's all I'm saying. I didn't mean what I said originally (I was trying to echo Miles), but what I really wanted to say is that, it could be better, have more details, and more interesting stuff. MuteSpittah (talk) 21:08, 1 March 2016 (EST)
- Really the only page on a person that's actually somewhat satisfactory is Sakurai's. Albeit, this is because he is the person most relevant to Smash, so obviously there's gonna have to be more written about him here, and people less relevant to Smash (Miyamoto, Itoi, Sugimori) are gonna have far less written about them and that's that. So Iwata's page can't be all that meaty in comparison to Sakurai's, but it could be far better given his roles in the original Smash game. If I were to use an analogy, I'd say that Sakurai's page is perfectly short skirt quality, while Iwata's page is like a speedo. It could cover more. MuteSpittah (talk) 21:17, 1 March 2016 (EST)

Oppose As people have said, just because Iwata is an amazing person doesn't mean his page is. The page is pretty run-of-the-mill; there's nothing that makes is outstanding. It's pretty short as well, especially considering everything Iwata did. --Andymii (talk) 20:19, 17 March 2016 (EDT)

- Look, we do not make pages featured articles because of the thing they are about (the subject, which in this case, is Melee Fox), we make them on the quality of the article (how clean it is, how much info it has, etc.). This article is rather good in my opinion after looking at all the information it has in the introduction, "Attributes" and "In competitive play".

Considering how Fox is Competitive Melee's mascot, this won't be a bad idea although maybe push Fox as a whole. It isn't just Melee that he's beloved, he's a favorite among all smashers and although in my opinion he kinda gets more annoying within sequels (seriously Fox's voice in Smash 4), you have to admit that he's an awesome character to use in any Smash game.

It is well written, gets to the point, and is fairly unbiased, which can't be said about most Brawl character pages. (There are straight up opinions in those articles someone should clean it up lol).

Strongly Oppose. Do we really need to inflate the hot headed Melee players more than they already are? Hell "Fox Only, No Items, Final Destination" Is a meme that people use to mock the smash bros competitive scene and I really don't think the wiki should be advertising it by putting Fox's Melee profile as a featured article.

Aside from being kinda lengthy and list-y, this article is well structured and has nice visuals\images. Covers important info well while being as concise as possible.

- So are you discounting my oppose because you disagree with it, which is unfair, or does the initial suggestion count as a support? And the reason that i believe my reason is good is that if we have to edit it, it isn't complete, which is one of the criteria.
Support This wiki made lots of dedication to pages about Smash Bros. games. I felt that the Smash 4 page followed the templates for the other games into being well written. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is a never lover boy 20:05, 23 October 2016 (EDT)

Palutena's Guidance

- But like, it's not about the topic of the article? First of all, Palutena's Guidance isn't really minor. Secondly, even if it was, if it's a "great article" it deserves to be featured whether or not it's a major one. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by cupid♥. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 20:29, 7 February 2016 (EST)

- Yes, the major flaw of going by vote count alone...I agree with DNK, though. If you are going to oppose an FA, you should at least have a semi-valid reason for doing so. Serpent King 21:07, 13 February 2016 (EST)
- sorry for this late response but i think that if codec wasnt featured, why should PG be (codec for the win!) plus codec is much more detailed about all the metal gear references Poultry(talk) the Pumpkin Pie 16:49, 28 February 2016 (EST)
- That's... not a better reason. Besides, PG doesn't have nearly as many references as the codec does, so it can't be more detailed. It has all of the relevant information listed. Besides, you can re-nominate Codec if you want. But judging this one based on the fact that an article you liked wasn't seems unfair. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you.

- Weak oppose I have to agree that it's really just a list of quotes ripped directly from SSB4. Not that it's not an interesting article all the same. BaconMaster 16:27, 1 July 2016 (EDT)
- Oppose I don't believe this is actually a good example of SmashWiki's excellence, which is what we are looking for in a featured article, due to the lack of prose. Plus, most of the Support votes aren't really about the article, but the Guidenece itself, which really isn't the point. Penro 13:34, 8 July 2016 (EDT)
- Oppose: The article only occasionally elaborates on some of the detalis brought up in conversations (the Koopalings mystery, Link and Pit being released on the same year, etc.) and not others (the "ninjas that just eats very slowly" comment with Greninja, Falco being the leader of a galactic gang, "DO A BARREL ROLL!" with Fox, etc.). This is especially important since the article links to the characters' playstyle in SSB4 and not the "main" articles that actually have their backstory. Beyond that, some of the existing writing is a bit clunky in places; it's noticeable with the notes for Meta Knight, Samus, Shulk, WFTrainer, Yoshi, and especially Wario, though it wouldn't take much to clean it up. The lack of images doesn't help it much, either. Reversinator (talk) 12:22, 3 September 2016 (EDT)
Strongly Support. Probably one of the most interesting aspects of SSB4, I know nothing of KI but I still love hearing what they have to say regarding the different characters. It gives an in-universe look at how some nintendo characters see each other. Also viridi's comment about "Spending years studying Ganon Canon" made me laugh my butt off. One of the best features in this game.

Wombo Combo
One of the most famous moments in the history of Smash. Destructodon (talk) 14:14, 16 October 2016 (EDT)
- I take it you didn't read the "things to consider" section. We shouldn't only suggest things based on relevance, we also need to look at the quality and completeness of the article. Disaster Flare (talk) 14:33, 16 October 2016 (EDT)
Well I'll have you know i did read that and i believe the article is a complete, quality article. Destructodon (talk) 15:54, 16 October 2016 (EDT)
- Oppose. I was okay with Fox (SSBM) being featured considering that he is the face of Competitive Melee with an well in-depth article explaining his tournament popularity and success in Melee, and that I agree that competitive articles in general need to be featured more often. However, we do not need to go as far as memes from competitive play regardless of how (in)famous they are. Plus, like Disaster Flare said, an article is featured for quality and completeness.
- (On a personal note, I personally think that while the Wombo Combo is still a classic moment among the Smash community, the meme is honestly getting really old, not helped by the fact that the annoying MLG videos abuse them.) Dots (talk) The Bullet 00:42, 24 October 2016 (EDT)
- Oppose: after thinking about it, I seriously do not think that this article is feature material. The article is 10 mostly short sections that talk very little about the combo itself (not the fault of the writer, there really is little to talk about), then the rest of the article is about its legacy, which is really not the best formatting method. Serpent King 00:53, 24 October 2016 (EDT)

Bayonetta (SSB4)
Considering the fact she won the Smash Ballot, I feel she deserves some lime light. Her smash bros profile has a lot of work put into it, she has a lot of extra abilities, like Bullet Arts and Bat Within, that make her one of the more unique characters in the game. And I just feel that she deserves some recognition for that. The one character everyone thought would never get into Smash Bros. not only getting in, but getting in due to popular demand. That and the fact they were able to tone down her sexual nature for an E10+ game, while still staying true to her character, I feel was an amazing feat by Sakurai.

- Strong oppose Same reason as Serpent King. TabuuandMasterCore 14:07, 2 July 2016 (EDT)
- The 46 featured articles so far have consisted of 11 characters, 12 stages , 3 game mechanics, 3 games, 3 game menu areas (SSE, My Music, and Stickers), 2 bosses, 2 items (counting the Final Smash), 2 cosmetic items (music and costumes), 2 techniques, 2 fan creations (Smashtasm and tier list), 1 special move, 1 about AI, 1 about glitches, and 1 about stage aspects (platform). At a 11:12:23 ratio of characters:stages:misc, you have a 23.9%, 26.1%, and 50% featuring proportion, respectively. For a game based heavily on the stages and fighters, these ratios are pretty much expected. If you're getting tired of us recently having featured character articles (which is a whopping number of 2 if you go back to the Master Hand glitch), you need a different voting system.

Super Smash Bros. Melee in competitive play
It really shows how a game designed to be non-competitive can become a competitive scene where people can win up to 15k, shows ups and downs of a important part of this Wiki, it also shows how much the competitive scene, and Smash Bros. as a whole advanced from its early days. That's including SmashWiki too. It is written in a way that many people wouldn't imagine doing, many people don't even think there was a platinum age. It also is written in long and informing paragraphs that definitly tells us a great our community is to put in that much time into one article. I can go on and on about how good this article is and how much it deserves to be featured, but i cannot make up your minds.
