Talk:List of semi-spikes (SSBM)

Does the Knee Smash not count as a semi-spike? Lasgna (talk) 13:37, November 29, 2018

It's not really clear because, as Toomai says on the talk page for semi-spikes, "the term is very poorly defined and misused" and "even a 30-degree angle can be considered a semi-spike if players use it as one." It's all up to player perception. If semi-spikes were solely defined by angle, then yes it absolutely would because Yoshi's down-smash is counted as one and it has the same knockback angle (30°). The article on the Knee Smash counts it as a semi-spike... if hit with the sourspot. Which is bizarre, since the weak hit has the sakurai angle. If I had to guess, I would say it's not counted as one because no one really thinks of it as one; to answer it definitively, a couple of mods will probably have to weigh in.

Shouldn't the move links point to specific instances instead of general pages?

It doesn't make much sense (at least from my perspective) for a link to a move like "Back aerial" under Bowser to point to the Back aerial page. If a person is viewing Melee semi-spikes, they likely want to have the specific technical details, which can be found on the move's hitbox page, such as "Bowser (SSBM)/Back aerial". This issue also has the side effect of making it too easy to accidentally add duplicate links; I counted 2x Down Smash, 2x Down tilt, and 2x Back aerial links. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mariogeek2 (talk • contribs) 11:53, October 19, 2024 (EDT)

That wouldn't be a bad idea. It was brought up a while ago on the discord server about doing something similar for the changelists. Probably a few other articles where it would be good to do, but it is a lot of work. --CanvasK (talk) 12:08, October 19, 2024 (EDT)

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback. Mariogeek2 (talk) 12:30, October 19, 2024 (EDT)

Which moves are missing?

User:Variaamaxxing added the incomplete tag. As far as I'm aware, there's no missing moves from the list. If I don't get any feedback about this, I'll just remove it in like 1 or 2 weeks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mariogeek2 (talk • contribs) 15:19, November 28, 2024 (EST)
