Talk:Character matchup (SSBB)

This doesn't seem like the official match-up list. Also, the chart isn't very accurate, as Mr. Game & Watch does not hold a 50:50 match-up with Meta Knight. I've seen his match-up discussion threads (though unofficial, they are made by expert Meta Knight/Mr. Game & Watch players), and it says that the match-up is 40:60, Meta Knight with the advantage [1][2] (scroll down a bit). Could we see the link to where you found this? -Masq (t/c/e) 02:10, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

I concur, but sadly, I lack the ability to change anything. Even if I could, I wouldn't know what to insert. Blue Ninjakoopa 02:34, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Maybe we could delete the image and insert a template? If we could, I'd update it with the match-up lists on Smash Boards happily. Why can't you change anything...? -Masq (t/c/e) 02:50, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

I have a PoS laptop >.> But your idea sounds good. Are you still going to have the match up chart? Blue Ninjakoopa 03:12, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but in a template, so we can change it as the metagame and matchups do. Now, the big hole in this plan as that we have no template...

Wasn't there a project a long time ago to make matchup pages for every character? If we can't find a template, then maybe we could just make a page showing character's matchups, and writing information about them. It would give people a lot more information, as the pages would be more in-depth, rather then just showing a chart. -Masq (t/c/e) 03:22, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Could someone please categorize this page, I can't think of a category for it.--MysteryHeff ^TALK 08:46, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

New Matchup Chart

I have uploaded a current matchup chart, but it will change as the character boards discuss the remaining matchups, so it will have to be updated when the matchup threads are. However, there is already somebody doing this, and a the new picture will just have to be updated, and the old one deleted. You can find the thread here: [3] -Masq (t/c/e) 20:05, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

While images are fine, I think I may have a way to make it easier to update matchup charts. While you were putting up the new image, I was adding templates that make a matchup chart as easy as a table:

	A	B	C
A		Template:MatchupEasy	Template:MatchupSemiEasy
B	Template:MatchupHard		Template:MatchupNeutral
C	Template:MatchupSemiHard	Template:MatchupNeutral

Tables are a bit faster (and at times easier) to update, since anyone can do it (not just the person who made the image). We'll have to add the small-character-head images, but that shouldn't be too much of an issue. What do you think? Toomai Glittershine The Stats Guy 20:11, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

A table sounds fine, but I don't really like the idae of using the SSBB symbols for them, as there are only five, and there are many more ratios then just those. I'd prefer numbers to images. -Masq (t/c/e) 20:26, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough. I'll start working on a matchup table using that chart you just uploaded as a base. It may take a while, but it should be worth it. Toomai Glittershine eXemplary Logic 21:13, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Table-based chart ready for transferral

I have completed the table-based matchup chart. It can be seen in its holding house here. (Yes, I spelled the page wrong. :P I guess I was anxious to get started.) Please comment on it. I will place it on this page in a few days is there are no comments. Toomai Glittershine The Stats Guy 02:14, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Whoops, I forgot to uncheck the Minor Edit box. People won't notice this if it's a minor edit.

Okay then, since no one's commented, I've put in the table-based chart as promised. Toomai Glittershine The Stats Guy 18:54, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

It looks good, but is there anyway to put the character's heads in? It would be much easier to identify the characters on the sides, as some people may not get which character it is based on two letters. -Masq (t/c/e) 15:54, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't have access to the character head symbols (unless they're hidden in this wiki somewhere), but I can add in the icons. They'd have to be pretty small, though: File:Icon-metaknight.gifFile:Icon-snake.gifFile:Icon-falco.gif Is that good enough? Toomai Glittershine The Stats Guy 18:12, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

They're not here already, but those icons are hard to see when they're so small. Check around Smashboards, though; I'm pretty sure they're out there. Miles (talk) 21:12, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
