Editing Talk:Knee Smash

"Inherent masculinity"?!  This is supposed to be an encyclopedia entry?  Unless Captain Falcon's knee is really a penis, why is this even in the article?--[[User:Toddcam|Toddcam]] 21:11, August 15, 2007 (EDT)

I understand that Captain Falcon is a very popular character, and his knee was his most most famed aspect, but why do we need an article for one character's forward aerial? How come no other character has an entire article for their forward air, just specials?

I don't believe this article is needed. 9:00, March 12, 2009 (EDT)
:Perhaps it needs a redirect and a section on CF's page. However, it was in both Melee and Brawl. - [[User:Gargomon251|Gargomon251]] ([[User talk:Gargomon251|talk]]) 17:18, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

::Agreed. My page about Ness's side smash was deleted so this one should be too. It's not a special attack. [[Special:Contributions/98.117.158.220|98.117.158.220]] 18:52, November 22, 2009 (UTC)

==Deletion==
Before we delete it, does ANYONE have an opinion? [[Special:Contributions/98.117.158.220|98.117.158.220]] 19:13, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
:It might not be a Special Move, but it's definitely notable - it's one of the things that makes Captain Falcon so good in ''Melee'', and its nerf is one of the things that makes him so bad in ''Brawl''. Another fact to take into consideration is that the move has gained considerable notoriety in the ''Smash'' community. The information is also presented well this way, and it'd be difficult to describe the move in this much detail in the Captain Falcon (SSBM) or Captain Falcon (SSBB) articles. I say '''keep''' it.

::So is Ness's side smash, but that article was deleted. In fact, his side smash can actually reflect projectiles, and '''that''' is one of his signiture moves also.

::<s>'''No, don't keep it'''. Smashes and aerial attacks, such as G&W's B-air's been named the "turtle" by some. It's annoying, because of its high priority and slicing-turtle sound effect, etc, yet we don't have an article on it. Why? Because it isn't so much of an ''internet meme'' as "the knee". Internet memes go in the trivia section; they don't deserve an entire page dedicated to them. This is a rather large case of a meme, only because a large amount of it isn't actually needed. We have unneeded detail on Ganon's f-air, a reminder of priority in midair, as well as a reminder of what a short-time sweetspot is. That leaves us with a paragraph that can be explained in a trivia section. In conclusion, '''delete it'''. By the way, outside of my deletion argument, why does it say that the Knee is used at the end of his combos, whereas the next two paragraphs say that you can combo into other attacks from the Knee? Makes no sense.....

::That's not really sarcasm, as such... Anyways, I said "'''keep'''" (as did Miles) because that's how you do things like this. You say "'''keep'''" or "'''delete'''" at some point in the comment. It's so that people can quickly see where you stand on the matter. Support and Oppose section make discussion difficult, which is why we use this system instead.

:::Ok, since you did not get the point there: I was using irony in that last sentence, PoD, because I was thinking you would infer from "why did you bold 'keep'?" that I was being sarcastic. From there, I then said "And why would I say no to that if I was opposing it?", which was based on the fact that I revised my last comment to say "No (to PoD)"; as in "do not keep it". As for the "Oppose" comment: I don't believe that was necessary. It was already discussed on the IRC, and did not need more explanation as to why this system is used. Anyways, I've changed the comment to read more clearly now. Sorry for the confusion.

Five years late, but I agree with this notion. Is it really necessary to have the Skull Crusher section on the page? This page is about the Knee Smash, and even though Ganon is a clone/semi-clone of Falcon, Skull Crusher is pretty much a completely different move from anything Falcon has. I understand the importance of the move and it is a fairly notable name among the community, but I feel it shouldn't be on this page.

:The Knee of Justice is one of, if not, the most commonly used names for Falcon's fair, that I have seen used pretty much everywhere.
