Bayonetta (SSB4)[edit]

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.

Oppose The FA is mostly based on the quality of the article, not the content of the article itself. AidanzapunkChristmasSig.pngAidan, the Jolly Dragon WarriorAidanzapunkChristmasSig2.png 21:28, 20 December 2016 (EST)
Why cant it be both? Also whats wrong with the quality of the Bayo page? What can be done to get it to the quality it'd need to be?

Stale-move negation[edit]

Describes everything in full detail and tells it in a very clean way. Plus, very well known, and somewhat detailed. PenroPenroDarkPitHead.png PenroZSSHead.png 20:14, 5 April 2016 (EDT)

Support per Penro. Nyargleblargle.pngNyargleblargle (Contribs) 15:50, 14 April 2016 (EDT)

Support for this reason. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 16:18, 14 April 2016 (EDT)

Bump. This page really is very good, and I'd hate for it to be missed out on it's chance to shine. PenroImage.pngPenro 16:43, 1 July 2016 (EDT)

Weak oppose I think that it might be a little to complicated for some people, but otherwise it is a great article PoultrysigSSB4.pngPoultryPoultrysigSSBM.png(talk) the God-Slayer 07:13, 7 July 2016 (EDT)

Support even if it is somewhat complicated for some, it is an important and good article all the same. BaconMasterBaconMasterSig.png 13:30, 7 July 2016 (EDT)
Weak Support. Could be better but it talks about an interesting mechanic. Dots (talk) Mega Man X SNES sprite.png The Blue 21:54, 8 July 2016 (EDT)

Support: Good 'n' Interesting. Sir Glazington (talk) 13:14, 28 December 2016 (EST)

Support: Well-written and different from the other featured articles thus far kenniky SMASHROSTERSMALL.png 23:20, 29 December 2016 (EST)

Support. RickTommy 02:20, 1 February 2017 (EST)

Strong Oppose. 136.63.64.104 22:02, 28 March 2017 (EDT)

Support: The character articles are weak, while this is well-written and has everything relevant to an important aspect of all Smash games. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 22:22, 28 March 2017 (EDT)

Result: Yes Passed. Serpent SKSig.png King 20:00, 1 April 2017 (EDT)

Robin (SSB4)[edit]

A well-written page that covers the character in a clear and concise manner, also very clean and demonstrates everything a fighter page should be. MuteSpittah (talk) 22:46, 3 April 2016 (EDT)

Support This is good indeed. I like it so much. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 07:20, 4 April 2016 (EDT)

"Victory poses" has an incomplete tag in it. -- EthanEthan7sig.png(Discussion) 14:42, 7 April 2016 (EDT)
Yeah. That's pretty minor though. Marth also had an incomplete tag while it was featured for a time as well. MuteSpittah (talk) 14:47, 7 April 2016 (EDT)
Just saying (no one really voted for Marth anyways). -- EthanEthan7sig.png(Discussion) 14:57, 7 April 2016 (EDT)
Weak support. Great, but a bit too long, especially the opening paragraph. Nyargleblargle.pngNyargleblargle (Contribs) 15:50, 14 April 2016 (EDT)

Oppose: really starting to get tired of always featuring fighters. Serpent SKSig.png King 20:25, 26 June 2016 (EDT)

Strong Oppose It's missing Japanese in one section. AlbumArt-Dixie.png TabuuandMasterCore 11:58, 29 June 2016 (EDT)

Weak support Though it is a superb article, 2/3 of the past 3 featured articles (including the current one) have been FE characters. However, as this one is a game-specific page, I feel it is a bit more of a change. BaconMasterBaconMasterSig.png 16:27, 1 July 2016 (EDT)

Oppose. It could still use some work and I don't really see Robin as a feature article that too soon. Dots (talk) Mega Man X SNES sprite.png The Blue 21:54, 8 July 2016 (EDT)

Result: No Failed by expiry. Serpent SKSig.png King 20:00, 1 April 2017 (EDT)

Link[edit]

Has a lot of info, is clean and has many nice images. -- EthanEthan7sig.png(Discussion) 23:38, 3 April 2016 (EDT)

Support A good one indeed. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 14:01, 14 April 2016 (EDT)

Weak oppose Solid, but could be more concise. Take, for example, the Smash 64 section. Nyargleblargle.pngNyargleblargle (Contribs) 15:50, 14 April 2016 (EDT)

Support! I mean, come on! It's Link! He is a good fighter and the theread is clean, very nice, and has (like any other thread or whatever you call it. ∆_∆) much info! Hello! (talk) 12:22, 2 June 2016 (EDT)

Oppose: really starting to get tired of always featuring fighters. Serpent SKSig.png King 20:25, 26 June 2016 (EDT)
Strong oppose Same reason as Serpent King. AlbumArt-Dixie.png 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. MegaTron1Decepticon.png 12:34, 4 July 2016 (EDT)

Weak support. Great character for a feature article but it could be better. @Serpent King: Why do you think that? Fireball and amiibo, some of the more recent FAs, aren't about characters. Dots (talk) Mega Man X SNES sprite.png The Blue 21:54, 8 July 2016 (EDT)

Support. It's a pretty good article, with plenty of good images, information about him, and his useful tools and placement. PikachuMS.pngPika, Chilly! 14:17, 10 December 2016 (EST)

Support. When I read over it I didn't see anything glaringly wrong. --Meester Tweester (talk) 20:21, 13 December 2016 (EST)

Result: No Failed by expiry. Serpent SKSig.png King 20:00, 1 April 2017 (EDT)

Super Smash Bros. Melee in competitive play[edit]

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 PoultrysigSSB4.pngPoultryPoultrysigSSBM.png(talk) the God-Slayer 10:53, 1 July 2016 (EDT)

Weak support. A bit lengthy towards the end, but overall well-written and has just the right amount of images. Nyargleblargle.pngNyargleblargle (Contribs) 17:36, 2 July 2016 (EDT)
Support per NB. BaconMasterBaconMasterSig.png 13:30, 7 July 2016 (EDT)
Weak Oppose. Well-written, but do you think this would be interesting enough? I don't really think so. Dots (talk) Mega Man X SNES sprite.png The Blue 21:54, 8 July 2016 (EDT)
Oppose. Featuring it will undoubtedly inflate Melee supremacists' egos. RickTommy 02:20, 1 February 2017 (EST)
Support. This article is the most relevant to what is going on right now. My 2nd option would be stale-move-negation, but competitive melee is talked about more than any other options. How do you sign things??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by LCS (talkcontribs) 12:15, March 5, 2017 (EST)
  • Support because it is well-written! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 09:18, 21 March 2017 (EDT)
  • Weak Oppose. Not everyone comes here for competitive Smash. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is made in America 12:00, 18 June 2017 (EDT)
  • Support. Well written, and quite the interesting read! ChuckNorris24.png 22:06, 22 June 2017 (EDT)

Result: No Failed by expiry. Serpent SKSig.png King 00:27, 1 July 2017 (EDT)

Stage Builder[edit]

A pretty well rounded and concise article. The intro paragraph is a little short but it could be buffed up a bit or I could always pull a sentence or two from the Brawl and Smash 4 sections. Serpent SKSigHalloween.png King 17:48, 1 October 2016 (EDT)

  • Support: A nice article indeed for the wiki and I like it here! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 21:38, 1 October 2016 (EDT)
  • Support. RickTommy 02:20, 1 February 2017 (EST)
  • Support. This article has great potential of becoming featured. Dots (talk) Mega Man X SNES sprite.png The Quake 21:18, 3 March 2017 (EST)
  • Support. Per Dots. Area51Guard.png A51 Trooper 03:55, 18 June 2017 (EDT)
  • Support, Heavily well described with pictures. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is made in America 12:00, 18 June 2017 (EDT)
  • Weak support. Fairly well-written, excellently organized, and comprehensive. Nyargleblargle.pngNyargleblargle (Contribs) 16:06, 18 June 2017 (EDT)
  • Support. Page reads easily and conveys a lot of information, and is relevant to a wide audience. -- Yellow sig.png Yellow of the Grove 21:27, 21 June 2017 (EDT)
  • Support. This article covers stage builders very well, reads well, has a good amount of good images, and has a great table. --Meester Tweester (talk) 02:48, 29 June 2017 (EDT)

Result: Yes Passed. Serpent SKSig.png King 00:27, 1 July 2017 (EDT)

Falco (SSBB)[edit]

This article was written with the same content as other featured Brawl fighter articles. Over the times more pics and other files were added to make the article more visually appealing. There are some red links to pages on standard attacks but many featured articles have that feature as well. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is made in America 01:16, 9 January 2017 (EST)

  • Oppose: Well, it's strange to feature Brawl-related articles now that it's been a while since the game has been at the front of peoples' minds. RickTommy 02:20, 1 February 2017 (EST)
That's not really a good reason for opposing a featured article. A good article is a good article. However, I wouldn't support this one - I don't like some of the wording. John John3637881 Signature.png HUAH! 13:20, 5 March 2017 (EST)
  • Oppose. The attributes section is too choppy and hard to read at points. Nyargleblargle.pngNyargleblargle (Contribs) 16:06, 18 June 2017 (EDT)

Result: No Failed by lack of support. Serpent SKSig.png King 00:27, 1 July 2017 (EDT)

Ryu (SSB4)[edit]

This article is very good and with a great summary, this fighter has it all! Can I do it... SURE YOU CAN! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 21:29, 8 April 2017 (EDT)

  • Support. The pipes are broken! RickTommy 01:04, 22 June 2017 (EDT)
  • Oppose Attributes section is marked for cleanup, and I fully agree: His up-tilt shoryuken isn't even mentioned directly from what I can tell. Looks like a Ryu main mostly wrote it since it does have too much in-depth on weaknesses to compensate for lack of strengths. Plus there are brackets ]] floating next to "air acceleration"; just fixed it. RobSir RobSir-sig.jpg zx 03:56, 1 July 2017 (EDT)
  • Oppose. Not at all concise enough. Nyargleblargle.pngNyargleblargle (Contribs) 15:47, 2 September 2017 (EDT)
  • Oppose. It has potential but it needs to be shorten. MHStarCraft Mega Man X SNES sprite.png 21:44, 20 September 2017 (EDT)

Result: No Failed by lack of support. Serpent SKSig.png King 15:27, 1 October 2017 (EDT)

Home-Run Bat[edit]

Fully explains the topic without over inflating it with unnecessary fluff. Also, *KREEEEENG!* Serpent SKSig.png King 04:56, 1 July 2017 (EDT)

Result: Yes Passed. Serpent SKSig.png King 15:27, 1 October 2017 (EDT)

Announcer[edit]

From Jeff Manning to Xander Mobus, the announcer is the judge of every battle. He can tell the player when time is up, declare a winner, and even announce the character's name. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 11:48, 1 July 2017 (EDT)

Oppose The article seems a little bloated with unneeded filler. Serpent SKSig.png King 17:54, 3 September 2017 (EDT)
Oppose Yeah I think this article has some unnecessary info. MHStarCraft Mega Man X SNES sprite.png 21:44, 20 September 2017 (EDT)

Result: No Failed by lack of support. Serpent SKSig.png King 15:27, 1 October 2017 (EDT)

Bayonetta (SSB4)[edit]

This article is well made, and the topic of Bayonetta is a big one, as she is fun in casuals, and strong in competitive play too. LCS (talk) 07:36, 17 March 2017 (EDT)

Support for one reason: SMASHING! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 09:58, 21 March 2017 (EDT)

Support because Bayo is at the top of the tier list. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation 21:24, 21 June 2017 (EDT)

Oppose. I don't see where it stands out and it's unconcise also. -- EthanEthan7sig.png(Discussion) 16:59, 22 June 2017 (EDT)

Oppose. It has potential but it needs to be shorten. MHStarCraft Mega Man X SNES sprite.png 21:44, 20 September 2017 (EDT)

Oppose. The attributes section may need trimming. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is a never lover boy 19:35, 1 October 2017 (EDT)

Result: No Failed by lack of support. Serpent SKSig.png King 21:15, 15 January 2018 (EST)

Screen KO[edit]

Great first paragraph and image for featuring, and the article is complete for lack of a better word. In every interation thus far and a rather zany part of smash gameplay. The star KO doesn't even break the 4th wall, mind you! RobSir RobSir-sig.jpg zx 00:35, 12 July 2017 (EDT)

Support Anyone can tell I absolutely love Screen KOs, I really think without them and Star KOs, Smash wouldn't be the same. Kirby's Crazy Appetite ~ KirbysCrazyAppetiteSig.png 00:43, 12 July 2017 (EDT)
Support I love Screen KOs! Smash won't be the same without that and we need it to keep the battle going. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 23:05, 27 July 2017 (EDT)
Oppose Needs more explanation. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is bad for me 01:53, 28 July 2017 (EDT)
Weak support. Trivia section is a bit long, but no real issues in layout or writing style. Nyargleblargle.pngNyargleblargle (Contribs) 15:47, 2 September 2017 (EDT)
Support for being my favourite thing in the entire freaking game. Well, besides Yoshi. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the Internets go! :3 03:00, 3 September 2017 (EDT)
Support It's not too long, but it has most of the information needed for the article, in my opinion, so I'm voting for this one. --Mr. Loser (talk) 21:50, 6 September 2017 (EDT)
Support. I wouldn't mind. MHStarCraft Mega Man X SNES sprite.png 02:03, 20 September 2017 (EDT)
I can Support this a second time, right? Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the Internets go! :3 21:24, 27 December 2017 (EST)
You can but I won't count it :P. Serpent SKSig.png King 21:27, 27 December 2017 (EST)
Support Good article overall, I think this would be a good one to feature. Area51Guard.png A51 Trooper 10:00, 28 December 2017 (EST)
Support Looks pretty good. Clear and concise. Serpent SKSig.png King 18:41, 28 December 2017 (EST)
Support I agree with all of you. I think Screen KO will win with all of it's supports. Koopa Troopa (talk) 10:15, 2 January 2018 (EST)

Result: Yes Passed. Serpent SKSig.png King 21:15, 15 January 2018 (EST)

Victory pose[edit]

Everyone has a different victory pose for winning a match. Ryu has him punching towards the screen, while Sonic has him holding a Chaos Emerald. This gets my support! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 07:21, 2 October 2017 (EDT)

Oppose A game specific page would be more feature-worthy. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is a never lover boy 23:53, 13 October 2017 (EDT)

Oppose, as this article isn’t as interesting as a single character’s page or pages about the game mechanics. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the Internets go! :3 17:44, 28 December 2017 (EST)

Result: No Failed by lack of support. Serpent SKSig.png King 21:15, 15 January 2018 (EST)

Pocket[edit]

A nice and concise article that fully covers its material without rambling. Even includes damage modifiers for projectiles sent back through use of the move. Serpent SKSigHalloween.png King 13:02, 14 October 2017 (EDT)

Support: That's a great article and it is good for Villager in Smash 4. He can even pocket a Charge Shot. Nice. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 13:41, 14 October 2017 (EDT)
Support per Serpent; probably the best written move page on this wiki. --Penro 15:41, 13 January 2018 (EST)

Result: Yes Passed. Serpent SKSig.png King 21:55, 2 April 2018 (EDT)

Clearing the suggestions after a restart of the FA system[edit]

The following suggestions were cleared out to restart the feature article system. They are not considered failed suggestions.

King K. Rool (SSBU)[edit]

Entire page is extremely detailed with tons of tech and uses for each move. Probably one of the most detailed SSBU articles so far. The Crownerang page has 4 techs on it already as well, with execution and uses detailed, although that's probably too minor. --Plague von Karma (talk) 10:13, 1 March 2019 (EST)

Jigglypuff[edit]

Serpent King told me to vote... Alex Parpotta the flying lobster! 21:27, 27 December 2017 (EST)

Support I will agree with Alex and after all, Jigglypuff's been here since the first game. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 23:46, 27 December 2017 (EST)
Support I will agree with Alex because he spoke to me. --Unnamedgoon (talk) 18:34, 7 January 2018 (EST)

Rosalina & Luma (SSB4)[edit]

One of the best opening articles I've ever seen; this entire page is very detailed and Rosalina is a well-known character in Smash also. --Penro 09:16, 28 December 2017 (EST)

Support Great article. May the stars shine down on you. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 09:41, 1 January 2018 (EST)

Yoshi[edit]

Yoshi is Mario's trusted sidekick in many Mario games and is the star of his own franchise. He loves to eat enemies and turn them into eggs. A great article in my favor and I love this dinosaur. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 22:59, 15 January 2018 (EST)

Support for being the cutest guy ever and having an integral part in Smash, even if it's a small one. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the internets go! :3 22:06, 2 April 2018 (EDT)

Bowser[edit]

The King of the Koopas in the Mario franchise and archenemy of Mario. He can ride on his Koopa Clown Car, play sports and most of all... FIRE BREATH! A nice article for me. Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 22:59, 15 January 2018 (EST)

Smash Ball[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Smash Ball gives them a new special attack: the Final Smash. Anyone can take it! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 07:27, 5 June 2018 (EDT)

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

The newest game of the series with all of the characters and stages! This one is going to be awesome! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 22:55, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

Oppose The game hasn't been released yet and usually an article about a game is features months or years after its release. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is a never lover boy 22:20, 28 June 2018 (EDT)

Oppose It's way too soon for this now. Aidan, the College-Bound Rurouni 22:26, 28 June 2018 (EDT)

Oppose. As the SW:FA page itself says, "articles should be reviewed for accuracy, completeness, and style." Being a page of a yet unreleased game, it misses the first two qualities at best. NokiiSig.png Nokii ε (T · C · L) 22:31, 28 June 2018 (EDT)

Oppose: The lack of completeness is probably the biggest problem for the obvious reason of that it's still in development. We don't know things like: if there will be more newcomers (and if so, who they are), if there will be more stages, etc. And the information we do know is subject to change. Not that the article is "bad", just not suitable for FA for now. VoqéoT 23:07, 28 June 2018 (EDT)

Bowser (SSB4)[edit]

Bowser had the most changes out of every returning Melee veteran in the transition from Brawl to Smash 4, and even though he hasn’t been in many tournaments, he’s a great character to play as, so I think he should be given a shot at being featured! SSB4DarkSonicHead.pngSpeed48 20:26, 28 June 2018 (EDT)

Support I'll take that! Fire Breath, anyone? Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 00:23, 3 July 2018 (EDT)

King K. Rool[edit]

Not entirely sure if these are being taken right now, but I believe K. Rool's article is among the most complete of Ultimate's cast so far and serves as an example as to how they should look overall. Substantial amounts of info and an a complete movelist (bar Final Smash) with in-depth analysis all around. Not one notable player lacks a page, either. The special pages, especially Crownerang, are extremely detailed and perfectly explain the moves in question. In addition, there are many pages such as Crown sliding with large amounts of detail as well. Being an SSBU Character page, it's as relevant as it can get to Smash, and it seems to have a sufficient opening paragraph. Thus it appears to fulfill all the requirements for a page to be featured on the wiki, and is a representation of how dedicated the K. Rool playerbase is. After all, the ballot is partly what got him in!

(Updated this from 21st Dec on 4th May for better context and because it seems that these are gonna be reviewed again in the Wiki Discord) --King K. Rool SSBU.pngPlague von KarmaKing K. Rool SSBU.png 20:46, May 3, 2020 (EDT)
Support, it's really well-written 46.229.158.109 03:46, May 26, 2020 (EDT)
Should'n nomination be over by now (also does anyone know why my IP changed - I'm 42.229.158.109)? 217.149.243.2 15:59, July 4, 2020 (EDT)
Bump 217.149.243.2 02:27, July 5, 2020 (EDT)
Support as well. Overall an extremely fleshed out page that should be an example for other character pages to follow, in my opinion. Crazy456Rhino (talk) 11:54, May 10, 2021 (EDT)
We need a new featured article somehow. 174.55.24.64 01:25, May 26, 2022 (EDT)

Gematsu leaks[edit]

The article is great - it's well written, covers everything, and most importantly, it's intersting to read and relevant to community. 46.229.158.109 11:49, June 14, 2020 (EDT)

Support, Its a great article ThegameandwatchIcon2.png Thegameandwatch Thegameandwatch signature icon.png The Nerd 12:59, May 16, 2021 (EDT)
Support, I second this. Derekblue1SigHead1.png Derekblue1 (talk) Derekblue1SigHead2.png 08:11, November 30, 2022 (EST)

Peach[edit]

I am confident with the information displayed on the page, especially it looks like the page has no wanted pages and is pretty much complete. I guess it could apply to Daisy but I have not looked into everything in her article to be sure it can be featured. Derekblue1SigHead1.png Derekblue1 (talk) Derekblue1SigHead2.png 22:10, December 1, 2022 (EST)
