:Probably a table of all the main characters of all the smasher in this wiki, divided in SSBM, Brawl, PM, and SSB4. It's going to be a massive update, but that's all that I could think of to improve this page. Anyone up for it?

::Smashers have main lists in their pages. If someone wants to know who a smasher's main(s) are, it would be simpler to visit the smasher's page instead of scrolling through this page. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 09:22, 26 March 2015 (EDT)

== Move request ==

I propose that this page be moved to "Main fighter." Fighter is a much better term and is the official terminology as well, and while it may not be the most widely used term in the fanbase, it better encompasses the ''Smash'' roster than "character," and our page on playable characters is named "[[Fighter]]." Yes, I am slightly biased on this topic because [[Banjo & Kazooie (SSBU)|my main]] is '''two''' characters, but when you really think about it you'll see where I'm coming from for the greater good of this Wiki. Please consider this move and post your arguments below, and have a great day. Sincerely, [[User:SamtheBKBoss|Samuel]] the [[User talk:SamtheBKBoss|<span style="font-family: Lithograph"><span style="color: #0123A8">'''BANjO-'''</span><span style="color: #FF1901">'''KAZOOiE'''</span></span>]] Boss.

:'''Support''' In addition to what Sam said, I feel like using the term "main character" might be a little misleading to readers who aren't all too familiar with the meta game of ''Smash'', as the term "main character" is heavily synonymous with the term "main protagonist".

::This discussion extends to the renaming of [[Alternate character]], which would have to be moved as well for consistency.

:::... can it not just be "'''Main'''"? Since that's what people actually say? (and, in turn, "Alternate") If we really need clarity, we can say "Main (term)", but considering "main" currently redirects here... [[User:TheNuttyOne|TheNuttyOne]] 15:07, December 7, 2020 (EST)
::::That would absolutely work, too. The other page would be renamed "Secondary."

:::: (copy of what i said on the alternate character page) '''Support''', though i personally think that Mains, Secondaries, and Pockets should all be consolidated into one page since they all share a large overlap in idea. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:PhantoFantasma|PhantoFantasma]] ([[User talk:PhantoFantasma|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PhantoFantasma|contribs]]) 08:35, April 23, 2022 (EDT)</small>

'''Oppose''': This proposal is old but still open so I'm chiming in. With the move reason, no one says "main fighter", so moving from "main character" to "main fighter" because "no one says it" is not a good reason, and people generally say "characters", not "fighters" anyway. I also do not see what's "better" about "fighter", everyone knows what you mean with "character" in this context and other fighting games follow the same terminology with just calling them characters. And what Nutty says right, if any different title is more appropriate, it's just "main" if we're going by the term people actually use. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 12:02, April 23, 2022 (EDT)
:As stated in an above message and in the template on the Article, the proposal is for the article to be renamed to "Main," not "Main fighter" like it was when I started it.
