Delete my user

I WANT OUT. So delete the user, the user page and discussion, but none of the edits ive made [[User:Harro|<span style="color: red;">'"The Super Smasher"'</span>]][[User talk:Harro|"<span style="color: blue;">talk</span"]] (talk) 05:55, 1 September 2014 (EDT)

First message :P

Please move Rosalina (SSB4) to Rosalina & Luma (SSB4). That's the official name, and a majority of users agree. Thank you. ...a new NuttaNutta's Mallo sig.pngis approaching... 19:55, 14 August 2014 (EDT)

Remember our discussion about choice in game design?

L canceling does indeed open up choices. I can indeed verify from experience that you need to time your L cancels differently depending on your spacing.--BrianDon't try me!Falco.gif 02:10, 15 August 2014 (EDT)

An option requiring skill to execute does not mitigate always being the superior option. Compare teching - it's sometimes the right choice to intentionally fail a tech, whereas there is never any benefit to intentionally not L-cancel (at least in Melee; in SSB64 you have to not L-cancel if you want landing hitboxes because it skips instead of reducing, though this by itself doesn't really balance it out).

Roster Leak

So, does that warrant writing into the Leak page, mentioning it in the news section on the home page, etc.? MarioGalaxyTalk 13:24, 25 August 2014 (EDT)

The leak is now 100% confirmed. Get it off the rumours page and onto the leak page. I dunno if leaks should be news'd though. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Free 13:25, 25 August 2014 (EDT)

Since you're usually the go-to guy for series icons, are you working on one from the Monado icon in the video? Miles (talk) 15:00, 25 August 2014 (EDT)

I could give it a try, but it's blurry as all get out, so it might be wildly inaccurate. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Boss 15:03, 25 August 2014 (EDT)
There's a decent angle on it in the thumbnail to one of the videos, if you think it's enough to work from. It's just a bit easier not to have to work around not having a symbol. Miles (talk) 15:09, 25 August 2014 (EDT)

Looks like a higher-quality version may be in order when you have the time to work on it. Hardly pressing, but worth doing at some point. Miles (talk) 08:55, 29 August 2014 (EDT)

Series symbol requests

Hello! I may be posting in the wrong area (move if needed) but I see you are the one in charge of the series symbol artwork. I'm here to inform you of other symbols seen in the Smash games that have not been done here. First of, the symbol Metal Mario uses in 64. 2697E5D6AF732F4D954F8E0A954A4020_zps07d59376.png . Since it's a small image (I ripped it straight from the game), here's the regular Super Mario symbol in the same size to help (also ripped by me) SuperMario_zpsc377e94f.png . Next, is the "?" used when you highlight Random on 64's stage select screen (also ripped by me) F651EDAADB6917900A1596E605451D02_zpsc904cec0.png . And finally, it's worth noting that the EarthBound/Mother symbol changed from Melee to Brawl (left is 64/Melee, right is Brawl) EarthBoundA_zps1cca6430.png EarthBoundB_zps61b16c54.png Do note, unlike the 64 stuff, I didn't rip these but found them online (Spriters-Resourse).

I hope this was informative. And I apologies if I used User Talk incorrectly (still rusty on that part of Wikis). WarioBrose (talk) 17:30, 26 August 2014 (EDT)

I am aware of these. Here's why I haven't done anything with them:
  • The method I use to create the symbols cannot handle arbitrary gradients. We probably should have a screenshot of the metallic mushroom symbol, but as a series icon, I don't think the effort would be justified.
  • I don't think the SSB64 random stage icon is important - it's just a generic question mark.
  • It's my opinion that the changes in the EarthBound symbol are not significant enough to warrant the effort needed to create the older version.
I'm open to debate on these opinions, but they're why things are how they are as of right now. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Eggster 19:59, 26 August 2014 (EDT)
Alright, thank you for the response. All of your points are good and understandable as the symbols I posted don't have significant priority compared to the rest. I'll just leave this request on hold indefinitely until more people agree with me and want them (which I have doubts this will happen anytime soon). Again, thank you for responding. WarioBrose (talk) 20:16, 26 August 2014 (EDT)
I agree with WarioBrose. Toomai, couldn't you just crop out the black space on those icons? The differences are small (as with the DK logo difference in transition from Melee to Brawl, and you had no problem uploading those), but still important. Also for Metal Mario's image, WarioBrose, if you could get a larger image, it could go on M. Mario's page and the logo page. Blue Ninjakoopa 21:36, 26 August 2014 (EDT)
Blue Ninjakoopa, I wish I could get a bigger image but that image was dumped directly from the ROM (when Metal Mario is on the battlefield) so none exists (unless you want one made from scratch). Though you I agree with you a good bit on EarthBound. WarioBrose (talk) 22:24, 26 August 2014 (EDT)
Awesome. Now Toomai, there's no rush, but at the same time, could you not brush this off? The difference between the Earthbound icons should be shown on the series symbol page. Blue Ninjakoopa 16:13, 28 August 2014 (EDT)
I am indeed considering it. It's low priority at the moment though. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Producer 18:23, 28 August 2014 (EDT)
I don't see why we'd need to painstakingly recreate the Melee Mother icon when we can just rip WarioBrose's image and dump it on the Series symbol page. Is there really a good reason stopping this from happening? Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatum 04:43, 1 September 2014 (EDT)

OT and Miles surveys

Was anything ever done about the situation/is anything going to be done in the future? Awesome Cardinal 2000 19:58, 28 August 2014 (EDT)

Edit war in Palette Swap (SSB4)

Can you determine if the image with Shulk and Captain Falcon shows an alternate color for C. Falcon? A user is edit warring, insisting it's a palette swap. Berrenta (talk) 10:14, 30 August 2014 (EDT)

Liquipedia / loop extension

Hi, I don’t know how you feel about helping with liquipedia smash, but I recently copied your FrameStripEnd template to it, but it still isn’t displayed properly. Apparently because the loop extension could not be installed. Do you know how to do this? Are you interested in becoming an admin at liquipedia so you can add cool stuff there? Someone said there current admin is too busy. Kadano talk 12:54, 31 August 2014 (EDT)

Extensions are a server-side matter; all I know is that someone with server access has to add/edit some files from the MediaWiki source. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Yoshi 13:10, 31 August 2014 (EDT)
