The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Forum:Joke fighters
From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
There should be a category that contains fighters that are considered "joke fighters."
Examples:
- 64
- Jigglypuff
- Melee
- Ice Climbers
- Pichu
- Marth
- Roy
- Mr. Game & Watch
- Brawl
- R.O.B.
- for 3DS & Wii U
- Villager
- Wii Fit Trainer
- Duck Hunt
- Ultimate
- Piranha Plant
- Steve

- Oppose. It's pointless categorizing joke fighters because even if they were added in for fun, they are still fighters at the end of the day and that's what matters. Not to mention, aside from Pichu all the other characters you listed have never been explicitly said to be added as a "joke" and as such is just speculation. Cookies

- Oppose: In addition to what Cookies said, you never made it clear as to what exactly makes the characters you listed "joke" fighters.
- Is this referring to fighters that didn't fight or had some form of combat skills in their home series (this really only applies to the Smash 4 guys and maybe G&W and R.O.B.)? Is it for fighters that had low expectations from fans in joining the Smash roster (I'd argue most people were expecting an Animal Crossing character and especially Steve before their inclusions)? Does it mean fighters who are just conceptually bizarre for a fighting game (I especially fail to see how Marth and Roy, Japan-exclusivity or not, are any less unfitting than someone like Mario or Link)?
- Either way, this is really just a fan categorization that I hardly see anyone use, so I don't think it's notable enough to so much warrant a category page.

- Yeah, no. The odd categorisations aside, so far, we only note joke characters when there are official statements saying such (eg. Pichu). As it stands, there is very little reason to consider any of this. -

- Oppose, this is a bad idea for a variety of reasons that have already been pointed out here. I would also move for this proposal to be struck down quickly, since it obviously will not pass. Alex the Weeb 17:43, January 31, 2025 (EST)
