Stub

This page was tagged as a stub. Is there anything the page needs besides what it has now? Berrenta (talk) 12:00, 22 January 2015 (EST)

I don't see anything else it needs. BlueStreak Speeds By 12:20, 22 January 2015 (EST)

Probably a table of all the main characters of all the smasher in this wiki, divided in SSBM, Brawl, PM, and SSB4. It's going to be a massive update, but that's all that I could think of to improve this page. Anyone up for it? Kirbythe Amazing Know my power! 06:57, 26 March 2015 (EDT)

Smashers have main lists in their pages. If someone wants to know who a smasher's main(s) are, it would be simpler to visit the smasher's page instead of scrolling through this page. Berrenta (talk) 09:22, 26 March 2015 (EDT)

Move request

I propose that this page be moved to "Main fighter." Fighter is a much better term and is the official terminology as well, and while it may not be the most widely used term in the fanbase, it better encompasses the Smash roster than "character," and our page on playable characters is named "Fighter." Yes, I am slightly biased on this topic because my main is two characters, but when you really think about it you'll see where I'm coming from for the greater good of this Wiki. Please consider this move and post your arguments below, and have a great day. Sincerely, Samuel the BANjO-KAZOOiE Boss. 12:59, December 7, 2020 (EST)

Support In addition to what Sam said, I feel like using the term "main character" might be a little misleading to readers who aren't all too familiar with the meta game of Smash, as the term "main character" is heavily synonymous with the term "main protagonist".

This discussion extends to the renaming of Alternate character, which would have to be moved as well for consistency. Sincerely, Samuel the BANjO-KAZOOiE Boss. 13:39, December 7, 2020 (EST)

... can it not just be "Main"? Since that's what people actually say? (and, in turn, "Alternate") If we really need clarity, we can say "Main (term)", but considering "main" currently redirects here... TheNuttyOne 15:07, December 7, 2020 (EST)

That would absolutely work, too. The other page would be renamed "Secondary." Sincerely, Samuel the BANjO-KAZOOiE Boss. 15:09, December 7, 2020 (EST)

Support this one to be consistent with what will likely happen with "Alternate character". --Plague von Karma 03:08, April 10, 2021 (EDT)

Support moving this page to "Main" and "Alternative Character" to "Secondary". --Stuart98 (talk) 21:29, January 17, 2022 (EST)

(copy of what i said on the alternate character page) Support, though i personally think that Mains, Secondaries, and Pockets should all be consolidated into one page since they all share a large overlap in idea. PhantoFantasma 08:32, April 23, 2022 (EDT)
