| I agree. In fact, we're currently having this same debate in the "talk" of the [[Clone characters]] page. [[User:Gargomon251|Gargomon251]] keeps re-adding Luigi as clone of Mario in SSB, and I proposed a vote on it. As of the last time I checked, our side is winning. I'm going to wait until the end of the day, if we still have the most votes by then, I'm going ahead and editing both these pages.--[[User:Bman87301|Bman87301]] 19:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC) | | I agree.

| Just to clear things up, I think some people on here (looking in Gargomon251's direction) may not understand what separates "Clone Aspects" from "Luigified" aspects by the way the terms are being used in the article. "Clone moves" by definition, are ''variations'' of original moves. Simply having a different speed, minor animation difference, or lack of combos does not stop a move from being considered "cloned". In order for a normal move to be considered "Luigified" it has to have a ''completely different'' animation. --[[User:Bman87301|Bman87301]] 19:57, 15 April 2008 (UTC) | | Just to clear things up, I think some people on here (looking in Gargomon251's direction) may not understand what separates "Clone Aspects" from "Luigified" aspects.

| :"Luigification" applies to CHARACTERS, not moves. If you want to make a separate article, fine. But that's not the point, Ganondorf and C Falcon do not have "all the same attacks".

| :Ok I'm willing to grant that their up tilts are CONCEPTUALLY similar, but much like [[Flame Choke]] and [[Raptor Boost]], so much is far different that it isn't really just a copycat move anymore.

| ::You apparently didn't understand what I meant by a "Luigified move". I was simply referring to it being replaced by a different kind of move, thus "Luigifying" it. As for the up-tilts, you're kidding yourself if you consider them to be different moves. Aside from the fact that Ganondorf's is significantly delayed due to his slower speed, they have the EXACT SAME animation. The only other difference is the explosion, but I don't think even you can argue that makes it into a different move (using that logic then Ness's [[PK Flash]] and Lucas's [[PK Freeze]] couldn't be considered "cloned moves" because the freezing property would separate them into being only CONCEPTUALLY similar). But that's beside the point, since either way Ganondorf's up-tilt (as well his forward aerial) in Brawl is unaltered from Melee. Since Ganondorf was unarguably a clone in Melee, that makes it and all other unaltered moves '''Clone Aspects'''. Therefore, Ganondorf's "Remaining Clone Aspects" should read as ''Above half''. No matter how you try to argue them, there's no legitimacy to your edits. I am going to revert them one more time and if you change it again I'll have no other choice than to report it as vandalism.--[[User:Bman87301|Bman87301]] 20:16, 16 April 2008 (UTC) | | ::You apparently didn't understand what I meant by a "Luigified move".

| Luigification is NOT "replacing one move with another". The more unique the moveset is, the LESS Luigified the character is. Ganondorf is similar to Falco in this manner, other than the new Final Smash. And I will report YOU for vandalism. - [[User:Gargomon251|Gargomon251]] 20:27, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
| |
| :You're not making any sense. "Luigification", the way it's being used in this article, is referring to the uniqueness that separates that character from being considered a clone. If a character was LESS Luigified by their moveset's uniqueness then that would make them CLOSER to being a clone. Now, I'm not sure whether you simply didn't understand what I meant when I referred to moves being "Luigified" or if you're just being stubborn and nitpicking over my choice of words. Obviously, I was using the term loosely (it is an ''unofficial'' term after all, so there really are no right or wrong uses except for context and my context was consistent). Maybe what I should have said was "Luigif''ying''" instead of "Luigif''ied''", but I think it's clear what I was referring to regardless and it certainly wasn't inaccurate. If you try to bring this up again I'm just going to ignore it since it's just getting off the subject and not relevant to anything in the actual article (plus, I'm starting to suspect you're just bringing it up as a diversion from the fact that you can't provide any facts to legitimize your edits).<br><br>

| :Now back to the dispute at hand, the majority of Ganondorf's gameplay aspects remain unchanged between his Melee and Brawl incarnations: All normal attacks remain unchanged (at least by any notable significance) aside from reach. While they may differ from Captain Falcon's moves, they DO NOT differ between the Melee and Brawl versions in which the "Luigification" would have occurred. That being said, the differences between the Brawl and Melee versions of Ganondorf DO NOT outnumber the retained moves which means the "Remaining Clone Aspects" can only accurately read: "''Above half''" . After being warned, you re-edited the article contradicting the factual claims previously mentioned in this discussion and did not provide any kind of factual evidence of your own to legitimize the edit... Instead, only citing a completely irrelevant subject and somewhat childishly threatening to report vandalism back with no legitimate reasoning. That is more than a "lack of good faith", it's an attempt to dictate through bias, and arguably a personal attack. I was going to report you for vandalism immediately, but after re-reading this discussion I realize I may not have made all my points 100% clear the first time, so I'll give you one last chance. If you change it again (and don't give some legitimate reason for doing so) you will be reported.--[[User:Bman87301|Bman87301]] 17:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

| ::I have had enough of your constant vandalism, and have already reported you to the sysops. I already explained that Ganon's normal moves are almost entirely different. It doesn't matter what changed from Melee. For that matter, nowhere does it say "Luigification percentage". Very Low means HIGH Luigification, LOW clone qualities. Since Ganon now shares LESS THAN HALF of CF's attacks, regardless of Melee, that makes his Remaining Clone Aspects "Less Than Half", not "More". "Remaining" does not mean "compared to melee", it means "total moveset that is cloned". In other words, (moves that are th same)/(total moves), NOT (moves that are the same in Brawl)/(moves that are the same in Melee). If this was the case, then Luigi's Remainig Clone Aspects would be Very High, since only one or two attacks has changed since his Melee moveset.
| |
| ::I've already given examples and references of how every one of his Tilts/neutral A and Final Smash is completely different, as well as half of his Specials, throws, Upsmash, and Fair. And you say "aside from reach". Reach is not the issue. Toon Link has less reach than Link does, even for the same attacks. But Ganondorf has totally different animation as well. And I have been constantly giving evidence and comparisons, yet you still insist it's not "factual evidence" or "legitimate", even when I provided a link to the Ganondorf article itself the DESCRIBES the moves in depth, and throw around insults like "childish", attacking me instead of reasoning your edits.

| This article should have been merged with [[clone]] a year ago. Discuss. --[[User:Randall00|Randall00]] 15:59, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

| Great. Then maybe we should merge both Pokemon Stadiums? Or all the different Final Destinations? A ''Luigi'' is different than a clone but still similar yes. An orange is similar an apple but still different. Luigification is a fan made measure of how clone-y a clone is. But just because they are similar doesn't mean that they should merge. You don't merge the Richter scale with earthquakes. [[User:Solox|Solox]] 16:07, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

| I fail to see what discussing the differences between Marth and Ike or Ganondorf and C. Falcon is supposed to accomplish since the Marth/Ike issue was resolved a long time ago and the Ganondorf/Captain Falcon issue wasn't even directly part of the controversy. Read the discussion and look at the edit history. The controversy was over Gorgomon251's insistence on presenting his personal interpretation as indisputable fact and failure to work to compromise (which is something the logs show he's had a long history of doing). Instead of compromising, he usually completely reverts, with poor attempts to explain why. And now that someone has finally called him out on it, he goes crying to the sysops. The problem wasn't about any particular issue up to debate, it was about Gargomon251's lack of understanding of how a Wiki is supposed to work. --[[User:Bman87301|Bman87301]] 17:35, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
| |
| :And again with the insults. I didn't just revert without saying anything, and as you can see, I clearly explained my reasoning, even if I was a bit stubborn. And you were going to "run crying to the sysops" yourself, in case you forgot.
| |
| ::Actually, I was merely ''attempting'' to point out how your editing practices were being unfair and could easily qualify as being vandalism if you didn't lighten up, thinking perhaps it might finally get your attention. If you'll look, you can see that each time you changed it back, I made another attempt to explain my point and gave you another opportunity at redemption. You're the one who actually went running to the sysops. You didn't try to re-explain your reasoning, you stubbornly relied on what you previously said even though it was obvious your point wasn't convincing when I continued to refute it. I continued to give further explanation for my position and I kept giving you opportunity to compromise. I made it perfectly clear ''I'' was willing to compromise and wasn't going to contact the sysops if you explained yourself. You made no attempt to do so and instead went to the sysops yourself, in case ''you'' forgot.--[[User:Bman87301|Bman87301]] 20:59, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

| :Oh, and about the merge thing: clones are a general fighting game occurence, and a pretty common term. Luigification is more or less exclusive to Smash, and the requirements are a lot more open to interpretation. I say keep them separate. - [[User:Gargomon251|Gargomon251]] 20:35, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

| :And incidentally, I see no problem merging the FDs and PSes, since they are more or less the same stage, with minor variations. You'd only need a screenshot from each one, and a brief note over how it has changed between versions. They are even in the same "location" in each form, so you wouldn't need a different infobox. And the trophy data could go there too. Seems simple enough.- [[User:Gargomon251|Gargomon251]] 20:39, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

| :::Pardon me, but I have better things to do with my time than bicker with a bunch of whiny editors taking things personally over an obvious merge for my own amusement. Listen to what you're arguing for! "Luigification"?? Seriously? This terminology sounds like it was invented by a four year-old and it describes something apparently equivalent to "partial cloning." Which sounds a whole lot to me like the definition for [[clone]]--"characters that have nearly identical movesets with slight variations in the attacks." If a clone is not an exact copy of a character's moveset, then what is the difference between a clone and a "partial clone."? Why is [[Luigi]] and [[Mario]] a part of this list of "Luigified" characters but [[Dr. Mario]] and [[Mario]] appear on the list of clone characters? I beg of you to give a rational explanation of how the physical properties of Doc's moveset constitute "cloning" (wherein all of his aerials, ground attacks and smashes have different knockback both in power, speed of execution and angle, in addition to his special moves serving entirely different purposes and sporting unique properties of their own), yet Luigi's moveset is only a "partial clone" for ''exactly the same reasons''. And how exactly do you justify having both Fox & Falco, as well as Ganondorf and Captain Falcon, listed as both clones and "Luigification"s when you're fighting to keep the article separated? You don't even have a case! Give me a link or something to show me some evidence of this term being "used in the Super Smash Bros. fan community" under a reputable source and then you'd be making some headway, but good luck with that. And what is with this "Remaining clone aspects" attribute attached to these pairings? "Low"? "Slightly below half"? What is this article talking about??? Why would you support such incredibly ambiguous information? These articles will be merged. --[[User:Randall00|Randall00]] 04:55, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
| |
| ::::The reason Doc is a clone and Luigi is not is because he shares EVERY SINGLE ATTACK that Mario has. It doesn't matter that the name, knockback, or damage is slightly different, or that they have slightly different speeds, weights, or jump heights. They all share identical animations. Luigification may sound like an uncreative term, but, while there is no exact dividing line, the concept is quite different from a clone. - [[User:Gargomon251|Gargomon251]] 05:33, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
| |
| :::::Man, your justifications just give me a headache. Your reasons for keeping these articles separate are the same as your reasons for supporting a merge of the Pokemon Stadium and Final Destination stages (which are obviously totally different stages on every level) and the double standard just hurts. Please feel free to address any of my other more pressing points and while you're at it, might as well explain how [[pills]] and [[fireballs]] share identical animations. Or don't bother, because I'm pretty sure I'm not even listening. --[[User:Randall00|Randall00]] 12:19, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
| |
| ::::::While having different IMAGES, fireballs and pills both bounce in an arc and have similar effects. Now compare something like Wolf and Fox's Up Special. Wolf's has no initial charging damage, moves faster, and delivers a powerful kick at the end. Even though the initial "dash" may seem similar to Fire Fox, he actually poses quite different, despite moving in a straight line. And then there's the furthest extreme: Compare Luigi's dash attack to Mario's. Totally different. Not much to say about it. If Doc had actually had many moves that were exclusive to him, he would be Luigified, but as he is now, if you remove the visual effects and outfit, leaving only the hitbox bubbles (the ones in debug mode that show where he GETS hit), he is virtually indistinguishable from Mario during all his attack poses. Just a copycat. It doesn't mater if th Super Sheet is wider, or hi f-air dosn't spike, they are the same moves in appearance.
| |
| ::::::All Final Destinations are essentially flat stages with no obstacles or platforms, the only difference is the look, for example Brawl's version is slightly more angled underneath. You still fight Master Hand at al of thm, and the minor differences are not really enough to warrant separate articles. As for both Stadiums, they are exactly identical EXCEPT for the different modes, each of which is practically its own stage anyway. That's not to say I want a separate article for each. Basically both stadiums WORK the same way: start on the basic two-platform stage, and randomly change to other types. All yo'd ned to do to merge them is say PS1 was originally in Melee, and such-and-such are the different terrain effects, and then mention PS2 and analysis of its terrain effects. - [[User:Gargomon251|Gargomon251]] 23:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
