| 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. |

For right now, '''Neutral'''. I haven't seen the Neutral POV page yet, so whatever I say here could potentially apply here. While this has a place snd I will support it over time, as of now it seems to discourage phrases and words in a way that remind me of the first time Miles took a stab at neutrality. For example, in the section "puffery", you are mostly right that we should explain standpoints instead of over-emphasizing them: however, we shouldn't sugarcoat it either. "Fantastic" and "incredible" should be avoided, yes, but if something is highly above average, then it should be able to be considered among the "best" or "worst". "Sub-par", by definition, means "below average", which therefore would eliminate the usage of a term that really isn't that opinionated. And going back to Cloud's recovery, you can explain why it's one of the worst in the game without simply making it seem like it's merely lackluster when it's not. | For right now, '''Neutral'''.
