{{Proposal}}
About a month ago [[Daisy Blossom]] was merged with [[Peach Blossom]] on the basis that those two were identical [[Final Smash]]es. Notably this makes it the only final smash with a different name to be on the same page as its "parent" final smash. Now it was brought up on my talk page about how the other "cloned" final smashes should be handled, specifically [[Doctor Finale]], [[Phazon Laser]], [[Team Star Wolf]] and [[Dream Town Hall]], as they are considered somewhat identical to [[Mario Finale]], [[Zero Laser]], [[Team Star Fox]] and [[Dream Home]] respectively. Now what makes these final smashes different from Daisy Blossom is that there are some gameplay differences between their parent final smashes (e.g. some deal more damage and knockback), whereas Daisy Blossom has no differences at all from Peach's besides visuals.

So here's the deal -- if the absence of the thrusters is enough to keep [[Zero Laser]] and [[Phazon Laser]] split, then there is zero reason for ZSS's Zero Laser to be merged with Samus's. If we're trying to have a definitive discussion on the state of Final Smash pages, I think we need to hunt down other cases like that. Off the top of my head, [[Critical Hit]] and [[Team Star Fox]] should also be split. [[User:TheNuttyOne|TheNuttyOne]] 16:27, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

I personally agree with you TheNuttyOne, but if we are splitting [[Critical Hit]] I'm thinking of Roy's version is the one to split since its a weaker version of Marth/Lucina's version. Marth/Lucina's variant deal 60% damage and is a [[One-hit KO]] whereas Roy's can deal 45% damage if all hits connect and compared to Marth/Lucina's critical hit, Roy's isnt a OHKO.
