I would want these to be checked over for authenticity.  There could be some mistakes here and there.  Also, could we possibly put a link on the boxing ring stage for a separate article on aliases.  Honestly, I had to look up a lot of those words, but I have taken enough German classes to know how the language works.

:By now, all german Titles and Translations have been added (most of the ones missing here by me). Titles for DLC Characters will need to be added in Future (Piranha Plant and Joker already have their own rows, but they are empty, because these characters haven't been released yet).

"Near the end of the Developer Direct released after E3 2013, all the revealed stages on ''Smash Wii U'' were shown off in little segments, with Boxing Ring being one of them. However, if one listens closely, no music appears to be playing when Boxing Ring appears. This was probably to conceal the fact that it was a ''Punch-Out!!'' stage."

Keep or delete? Permit or omit? Put out or throw out? I'd argue it's speculative, though with good reasoning behind it, speculative nonetheless of the reasons behind why the music didn't play. I'd say it's uninteresting, though that's more subjective than anything I'm sure by consensus it is likely it could be decided as such. I'd also say it's irrelevant, as showing off things in official videos with concealed details to not give things away isn't anything new. Or, in most cases, noteworthy.

::::I'd like to real quickly point out that picking and choosing what trivia is "interesting" is subjective in itself. Also, this is not really something that can be proven per say [[User:Serpent King|<span style="font-family:Chiller; font-size:18px; color:rgb(220, 85, 0); text-shadow:0px 0px 3px DarkGray;">Serpent<span style="font-size:12pt;>∞</span>King</span>]] [[User talk:Serpent King|(<span style="font-family:Chiller; font-size:18px;">talk</span>)]] 07:33, 9 October 2015 (EDT)
::::Obviously, that's true. Then again, alongside general trivia guidelines, there is some sort of undefined line for what is interesting and what is not. With that, I think it's fair to ask for a general consensus: is this interesting enough to be kept? In which case, I'd say no. [[User:Smashedpotatoes|Smashedpotatoes]] ([[User talk:Smashedpotatoes|talk]]) 07:36, 9 October 2015 (EDT)
::::Also there's an issue of noteworthiness. Details being hidden from game videos are nothing new. The magnitude of what is hidden should determine its noteworthiness. [[User:Smashedpotatoes|Smashedpotatoes]] ([[User talk:Smashedpotatoes|talk]]) 07:41, 9 October 2015 (EDT)
:::::Let me break it down for you. At the time, the Boxing Ring just had its Smash design. People had speculated that it was a Punch-Out!! stage because of this. Sakurai didn't want the stage (and, potentially, Little Mac as a playable character) to be leaked, so he cut the music off for it. I'd say that's pretty important.

:::::Yes, all of that is true, but that doesn't mean it's especially important, or interesting. I'd rather drop this, partially since it's going nowhere and partially because I'm leaving and I started this anyways, and maybe let you keep it, but if anyone wants to continue this they can. [[User:Smashedpotatoes|Smashedpotatoes]] ([[User talk:Smashedpotatoes|talk]]) 09:01, 9 October 2015 (EDT)
::::::As it stands, it's 3-1 in favor of keeping (Berrenta's vote is kind of on the fence, but judging by the wording, it seems to me she's in favor of keeping). I think this is fine.

== Additional Ultimate languages ==
 
Ultimate supports four new languages we don't have titles for here: Russian, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. So let this stand as a to-do comment to add those columns to the table of character titles, and slog through the whole roster to transcribe the names. Thanks to how game languages work on the Switch, this won't be too difficult to achieve. I think we can also confirm the US vs. EU titles for English, Spanish, and French by changing the console region in addition to the selected language. [[User:SuperFalconBros|SuperFalconBros]] ([[User talk:SuperFalconBros|talk]]) 01:03, 4 November 2018 (EDT)
 
So, based on the demos currently happening, it seems like the regional versions (English, Spanish, French) may have been condensed into a single set of titles for each language. However, in the Spanish version at least, it's not consistently using one source; for example, Meta Knight uses his NA Spanish name, while Bowser Jr. uses his PAL Spanish name with an additional minor change. Given these changes, I think it will end up much too messy if we try to put the Smash 4 and Ultimate names in the same table. Lots of information will end up duplicated, or the layout will be too complicated. Instead, I think we should have one table on the page with some sort of toggle to switch between the Smash 4 and Ultimate names. Or, if that's not feasible, just bite the bullet and make two new articles: "List of Boxing Ring titles (SSB4)" and "List of Boxing Ring titles (SSBU)".

:I like the idea of game-split subpages regardless of however we eventually decide to do it, to keep the messy side data off the primary page. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Spark 06:36, 9 November 2018 (EST)
::I've started drafts [[User:SuperFalconBros/List of Boxing Ring titles (SSB4)|here]] and [[User:SuperFalconBros/List of Boxing Ring titles (SSBU)|here]]. I think I'll mainspace these shortly and replace the section in the main article with a quick blurb about the titles and differences between regions. [[User:SuperFalconBros|SuperFalconBros]] ([[User talk:SuperFalconBros|talk]]) 14:15, 10 November 2018 (EST)
 
== Split ==
 
Based on demo footage, it appears that Ultimate does not have different Boxing Ring titles for regional language versions (e.g. USA vs. GB, Mexico vs. Spain). It also seems that rather than drawing from just one of the previous regional versions, the titles used in Ultimate are a mix of both versions. For example, from recent demo footage from an event held in Spain, Bowser Jr. has his title from the Spain-Spanish version of Smash 4 (with an additional grammar change), while Meta Knight has his title from the Mexico-Spanish version.
 
There's no good way to put all this Ultimate information in the same table as the Smash 4 titles, without the layout being extremely complicated and having many of the titles duplicated. Not to mention, Ultimate will need several new columns for new languages that Smash 4 didn't support.
 
And so, I propose we create two separate articles: [[User:SuperFalconBros/List of Boxing Ring titles (SSB4)|List of Boxing Ring titles (SSB4)]] and [[User:SuperFalconBros/List of Boxing Ring titles (SSBU)|List of Boxing Ring titles (SSBU)]]. Drafts are already underway. [[User:SuperFalconBros|SuperFalconBros]] ([[User talk:SuperFalconBros|talk]]) 15:04, 10 November 2018 (EST)
 
Thanks to the NintendoNederland stream, I can confirm that there is a separate PAL English language (Duck Hunt is called Duck Hunt Duo), but like the version seen in Spain, the Boxing Ring titles have been standardized between the regional versions. Most of the ones used in the PAL version seem to be the old NA titles, but there are a few (like Mega Man's) still using the old PAL titles. So I think we should definitely move ahead with the list articles. [[User:SuperFalconBros|SuperFalconBros]] ([[User talk:SuperFalconBros|talk]]) 10:31, 11 November 2018 (EST)

::Link's title is realistically the only one that's going to actually change. Most other titles will likely not change, they'll just be one of either the previous NA or PAL versions, or not differ at all in languages without the NA/PAL split. Given that, are you opposed to separating the Smash 4 and Ultimate titles into two tables, or just to separating them into their own articles? I'd say keeping them all in the same table is totally out of the question. [[User:SuperFalconBros|SuperFalconBros]] ([[User talk:SuperFalconBros|talk]]) 14:07, 12 November 2018 (EST)

:'''Support split.''' The file size for the page is unnecessarily enormous, and given the way collapsible tables work on wikis in mobile, will likely crash for people using mobile. If you want to compare the character titles between ''4'' and ''Ultimate,'' you'd be best off just opening a new tab and switching back and forth. Personally, I think it's a major pain to have to scroll all the way up and down two gigantic tables to compare some information on each.
 
:Alternatively, we could just have one gigantic table combining the information for both ''4'' and ''Ultimate,'' which would cut down on redundancy, but I'm not sure what everyone would think about that. <b>[[User:john3637881|<span style="color: black;">John</span>]]</b> [[File:John3637881 Signature.png|20px]] <b>[[User talk:John3637881|<span style="color: red;">HUAH!</span>]]</b> 19:11, 2 December 2018 (EST)
::'''Support''' I had this idea in mind for a while. The stage itself has its own section, and fluff goes on a special page. This page can stay "Boxing Ring" and the page with the fighter titles becomes something like "Boxing Ring Titles"American Ronin 09:31, 23 December 2018 (EST)
::It's totally infeasible to have it one table. Between the lack of regional versions in Ultimate, the languages in each game that don't exist in the other, and the 90% overlap in names between most versions, it would be a gigantic mess for no benefit besides being able to compare the names of about 5 veterans that actually changed.
