'''Neutral.''' If phantom hits are indeed a unique mechanic, they deserve their own page and this should stay. However, if there is no difference between ''Melee''’s mechanic and the mechanic as seen in future games, I '''support''' a move because I never ever hear the term "glancing blow." <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> 00:26, 11 November 2018 (EST)

:It doesn't deserve its own page any more than "Pummel (SSBM)" or something like that does, just because the mechanic works differently in that game. Calling it a unique mechanic was bad wording on my part, as the outcome only really differs in Brawl and later games in that there are no freeze frames and no knockback. It's just that that difference makes them much weirder and hard to distinguish in Melee, hence the term phantom hit and the stigma around them, which is unique to Melee. That's really what I was alluding to. [[User:SuperFalconBros|SuperFalconBros]] ([[User talk:SuperFalconBros|talk]]) 00:41, 11 November 2018 (EST)

'''Oppose''' Since glancing blow is used from Brawl onwards, I think it needs to stay here. Also being called phantom hit in Melee alone isn't enough to move it there. [[File:George Jones.jpg|25px]] [[User:Corrin Fan|Corrin Fan]] [[File:Walls Can Fall.jpg|25px]] 12:49, 12 November 2018 (EST)

'''Strong Oppose''', per SK and also others. Additionally, I’ve never heard anyone but the Meleelitists call these Phantom Hits. [[Special:Contributions/72.133.91.93|72.133.91.93]] 13:41, 12 November 2018 (EST)Blueflame105
 
'''Strong oppose'''. There’s no point in even remotely looking into this.

Yeah this is kind of based on faulty evidence, since I put the tag there because I had personally never seen "glancing blow", and because of a few Google searches for sides other than here ([https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Areddit.com%2Fr%2Fsmashbros+%22phantom+hit%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-ab][https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Areddit.com%2Fr%2Fsmashbros+%22glancing+blow%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-ab][https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Asmashboards.com+%22phantom+hit%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-ab][https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Asmashboards.com+%22glancing+blow%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-ab]). I'll withdraw the proposal. [[User:PikaSamus|PikaSamus]] ([[User talk:PikaSamus|talk]]) 17:44, 12 November 2018 (EST)
