Alright so I made draft pages of what the merged starfox reflectors and and blasters would look like. Any edits are welcome incase it looks weird in some parts, but this was made for the purpose of seeing what it would look like and see if it can influence discussion on if the pages should be merged or not. The pages can be found at User:Xtra3678/Blaster, and User:Xtra3678/Reflector.

:I’m going to be completely honest here: They look terrible. There’s a bunch of tech on Fox’s reflector that wouldn’t be possible on Falco anymore even wih Melee physics and it never applied to Wolf.

:::::They are similar in that they are both the nutural special of a starfox charecter, named blaster in which the user takes out a laser pistol and fires a single shot of a laser projectile per press of the b button. The only differences is the projectile properties, the speed they can be used at, and the fact wolf's is also a melee. Simply is not enough of a reason to decide not to merge them compaired to the reasons to merge them.

::::::So, said otherwise, they entirely different moves except for the fact that they are named the same, and that they are from the same series... Question : this is a wikipedia, so do you think there is a single user that would want to have a simulaneous access to two totally different moves just because they happen to be named the same ? You do realize that the exact same moves could have been named differently, that the dev team could have named those move ''Fox's Blaster'' and ''Wolf's Blaster'' ? That they could even have no name at all for those names have no use aside referencing the moves in the manual/hints ? Therefore the whole argument that those need to be merged is build upon a totally arbitrary detail. I mean, do you really consider that a name, a thing that have zero relevance gameplaywise, should matter ? Is this a wikipedia about a game or about naming convention ? Different moves, different pages, names doesn't mean a damn thing. [[User:YoshiRyu|YoshiRyu]] ([[User talk:YoshiRyu|talk]]) 08:48, April 1, 2019 (EDT)

::Honestly, if we can’t come to an agreement on which moves should be merged or split, this is the way to go. Should we split up every move as well? For example, Lucina and Chrom’s dancing blade is as different from their counterparts’ as much as Silver Bow is from the Pits. So every single move should probably be split up then, including shared moves. [[User:Lou Cena|Lou Cena]] ([[User talk:Lou Cena|talk]]) 11:28, April 1, 2019 (EDT)


Splitting or Merging all moves are going to the extreme of each other, and neither is a reasonable conclusion. [[User:Wolff|&#32;Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 16:47, April 1, 2019 (EDT)
== Differences from... sections only for the official clones. ==


Let me see if I can explain my reasoning a little better with an example. There are different types of dances, such as Waltz, Tango, Salsa, and FoxTrot. Each have different and similar techniques for the type of dance, which can be used to change it up a little. Such as going up and down in Waltz and shaking one's hips more in Salsa, or using a Triple-step over a Double-step. The Blasters, by name, are the same move (Dance), the characters just use them differently (technique). Same goes for the Reflectors. The Upperdash Arm and Electroshock Arm, by name, are different moves (Dances) with similar techniques. Same goes for the Bows and Capes. (''Please don't bring up Daisy's moves or Double-Edge Dance as they are currently the only exceptions to this.'') [[User:Wolff|&#32;Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 16:47, April 1, 2019 (EDT)
As the page suggest I think only the characters that are officially defined as clones should have "differences from" sections. Particularly these characters.


Honnestly, at this point, "pro-merge" people sound like people from the flat earth society, seriously...
{|class="wikitable"
:Names are nothing more but a convention. Two people having the same name doesn't make them the same person. Why do you think that something as pointless as a name define a move !? It's like seeing homonyms and starting saying that they must be the same word because they're written with the same letters... a name is a convention. Fox's and Wolf's blaster aren't named the same because the devs considered them to be the same move but because they went the easy way. Why is that so hard to understand ? Do you really not realize that the names of any move could have been different if a single person, the guy who picked them, just decided to ? Stop trying to find a reason for why some moves have the same names and others don't, that's just a random thing. Daisy's moves are not an exception to the rules, because there is no rule. Moves likes the blasters are named the same simply because the person who did that was uninspired when he did that. There is no deep meaning behind those two moves being named the same, naming a move for the solely purpose of referencing it in a manual is not somehting anyone should consider as significant. Fox's and Wolf's blasters aren't the same moves, ask any Fox or Wolf players.

::Think of it this way :
!{{GameIcon|SSB64}}
::*Fox's blaster and Wolf's blaster are like homonyms : homonyms sound the same, but have a different meaning; just like blasters sound the same, but have a different function.
|{{head|Luigi|g=SSBM|s=20x20px}}||Luigi has a "differences from Mario" list on the website so he's basically confirmed to be a clone.  
::*Peach's bomber and Daisy's bomber are la synonyms : synonyms sound different, yet have the same meaning; just like bombers sound different, yet have the same function.
|-
::And please, don't ever tell me that Fox's blaster and Wolf's blaster are functionally similar. If you think so, I doubt you either played those characters, because Wolf's blaster is no more similiar to Fox's blaster than Mario's fireball is. Yes, they're both projectile, but that's it, the similarities go no further than that. [[User:YoshiRyu|YoshiRyu]] ([[User talk:YoshiRyu|talk]]) 18:03, April 1, 2019 (EDT)

:::Could you please elaborate on the differences between the Star Fox Blasters and Reflectors that make them different "moves"? From my perspective, the previously mentioned differences I've seen just seem more like different techniques that can only be applied to the specific attributes of the individual character when using the moves, rather than entirely different moves. I'm just having a hard time understanding, even when looking at videos on, and the the Star Fox characters.

Why don't you have this discussion on the [[Talk:Blaster (Fox)|proper article]]. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;border:outset #083 2px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083;background:#ed0;padding:1px">Serpent</span>]][[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;background:#083;padding:1px">King</span>]]'''</span> 18:40, April 1, 2019 (EDT)
All other characters not listed here probably have too many differences to be listed as clones and it's starting to clog up pages. The current system is also inconsistent. Should we note their differences in the Moveset section instead? --[[Special:Contributions/86.132.149.122|86.132.149.122]] 18:40, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
:Section '''Merging and Splitting Moves 2.1''', sub-section '''Blasters & Reflectors''' seems like the right place to have this discussion (especially because it involve several pages, and also because it goes beyond the few moves we build our points upon).

:::But we are not just talking about the Blasters. Overall, we are also talking about the Reflectors, Upperdash Arm, Electroshock Arm, Palutena Bow, Silver Bow, Cape, and Super Sheet. They all fall under what were are currently discussing, which is whether or not we should merge and/or split them.

This will simply never get done, due to 2 different oppinouns by different groups being spread about repeatedly back at each other with noone taking each others arguments in to account, and nothing ever getting done. what can we do to get something done. <span style="background:#ea244a;border:outset #906 6px">'''[[User:Xtra3678|Xtra]][[File:Xtra_headpng.png|20px]][[User talk:Xtra3678|<span style="color:Lime">Talk</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Xtra3678|<span style="color: Gold">Edits</span>]]'''</span> 13:20, April 4, 2019 (EDT)
 
Just leave it alone tbh.
