Should we have something in the article specifying how "Reflet" is pronounced? I've heard many people pronounce it '"Ref-let" as opposed to "Ref-lay".

::::I also did that. It came out as a different word: "Rufure" (pronounced the same as ''roofer'') in English. However, putting "Reflet" in (you can convert English into English), it came out pronounced "''REE-flet''". <font face="AmericanTypewriter">[[User: Rtzxy|<span style="color:darkorange;">Rtzxy</span>]] [[File:SmashSig.jpeg]] [[User talk:Rtzxy|<span style="color:blue;">Smashing!</span>]]</font> 19:12, 28 October 2014 (EDT)

::::::::::Yes, but the announcer can sometimes be unclear in pronunciation.

:(resetting indent to one colon) Since the Japanese kana has the last part as "ay", it's Reflay. {{s|user|PikaSamus}} ([[User talk:PikaSamus|talk]]) [[File:PikaSamusSig.png|12px|link=Special:Contributions/PikaSamus|PikaSamus]] 19:54, 28 October 2014 (EDT)
::Plus, "SUMUS" is [[Samus]], which is usually pronounced "SAM-us" or "SAY-mus", but not "SU-mus". So, we shouldn't use the announcer's official pronunciation, but rather, the [[SW:OFFICIAL|most used pronunciation]]. <font face="AmericanTypewriter">[[User: Rtzxy|<span style="color:darkorange;">Rtzxy</span>]] [[File:SmashSig.jpeg]] [[User talk:Rtzxy|<span style="color:blue;">Smashing!</span>]]</font> 19:58, 28 October 2014 (EDT)
 
::(Edit conflict) If I may add, [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/reflet Reflet is French/Italian in origin]; in the former language, terms that end with "et" rhyme with the English "ay", such as in "[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/buffet#Pronunciation_3 buffet]". Its appropriate English pronunciation is also given as "ref-lay".

:::(edit conflict) In Japan, where most of the people who call the character Reflet come from, it's impossible to read the katakana as Ref-lett, due to the fact that kana is based on pronunciation. {{s|user|PikaSamus}} ([[User talk:PikaSamus|talk]]) [[File:PikaSamusSig.png|12px|link=Special:Contributions/PikaSamus|PikaSamus]] 20:04, 28 October 2014 (EDT)

"''*In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qf_ATdaA4H8#t=323 an interview] in November 2014, David Vincent, the default male voice actor for Robin, was asked (and proceeded) to say [[Shulk (SSB4)|"I'm really feeling it!"]] in Robin's voice.''"

:I thought it was worth keeping. Firstly, "I'm really feeling it!" is probably more famous for being in Smash than for being in Xenoblade. The only reason Robin's voice actor was asked to say "I'm really feeling it!" is because Shulk and Robin both appear in Smash 4. So I'd say it's notable. <b>[[User:john3637881|<span style="color: black;">John</span>]]</b> [[Image:{{NameToIcon|Ness}}Head{{#if:|{{{cl}}}}}{{#if:SSBB|{{#ifeq:SSBB|SSB4|SSB4-U|SSBB}}}}.png{{#if:16px|{{!}}16px}}|link={{#if:|{{{l}}}|Ness{{#if:SSBB|&#32;({{#switch:SSBB|SSB4-U|SSB4-3=SSB4|#default=SSBB}})}}}}]] <b>[[User talk:John3637881|<span style="color: red;">PK SMAAAASH!!</span>]]</b> 22:41, 12 August 2015 (EDT)
::In my opinion, I feel it's unnecessary and kind of irrelevant. In other words, at least to me, I don't think it's noteworthy as trivia. <font face="Marker Felt">[[User:Rtzxy|<span style="color:goldenrod;">Rtzxy</span>]] [[File:Reflect.jpg|20px]] [[User talk:Rtzxy|<span style="color:limegreen;">''Reflect!''</span>]]</font> 23:15, 12 August 2015 (EDT)
:It's way too stupidly trivial to be a trivia point. Any VA can quote anything from any character via any means (Twitter, YouTube, interviews, conventions, etc.) but is that really trivia-worthy? It's just unnecessary in my eyes. Like, cool, they quoted someone, it was funny/cool, but not wiki-worthy by any means. Things like "such and such also voice such and such in Smash" or "this VA is also has this relation to this VA in Smash" would be a little more trivia-worthy because they have more significance; moreso than just a VA in a random interview quoting something from the game.
 
:Otherwise this gets the foot in the door for even more irrelevant stuff like "such and such VA from this game had a conversation on Twitter about their characters" or "the president of this company referenced this character in this way."

:::::Well, I did put it up yesterday, for the record...but yea, it's something that doesn't need much. If it was like [[Marth (SSB4)|how sucky a character is]], then it would need much more.

Thoughts on using [http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/9/98/4Koma_Robin.png/revision/latest?cb=20161015043106 this art] of Robin in the infobox and bumping the ''Awakening'' portrait down to the gallery? The linked piece is from a [http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Emblem_Fates_4koma_Comic_%26_Character_Guide_Book licensed ''Fates'' book] and is, so far as I can tell, the only full-body unobstructed piece of official art of the character since the Avatar had none for ''Awakening''. There's no design differences involved, but it's a bit of an oddball source and I wanted to hear some other opinions on the subject before adding it.

:Truth be told, I'd prefer it if it were a larger image. I dunno, I'd rather have a high quality cut image than a low quality full image, you know?

::With that said, though, I ''could'' see if I can make it any larger than it is now, while still keeping its quality.

::::Saving it onto my computer shows that it is a mere 200 by 217 pixels. Wouldn't you say that's a bit small?

<small>(reset indent)</small> ...That is indeed weird.
