:Late to this, sorry was very busy. DDee, while being a very good player, hasn't had that many results at a national level, and in my opinion, a very important distinction between being "historically significant" versus being a "hidden boss" is performance at a national level. Now, consistently solid regional results certainly helps his case, but a lot of DDee's regional results have been recent. I'd say wait for DDee, especially since recency bias can certainly cloud opinions on the player, as we don't know how he'd perform in the future. As for Onin, his national results certainly lack what Jake, yonni, acola, and even DDee have, so I'd wait on him as well.

::I've been thinking, DDee is likely going to be ranked on this iteration of the PGR, for North America at least. If he gets ranked, I wouldn't be opposed to adding him.

:::PGR v3 30-11 just released and DDee is on it, 18th even https://www.twitter.com/pgstats/status/1554906441152188418, should def be added now [[User:Luigi86101|Luigi86101]] ([[User talk:Luigi86101|talk]]) 15:15, August 3, 2022 (EDT)


At this point I'm for adding both. I think our cutoff for consisteration for Steve's is roughly being able to top 8 majors. [[User:Wiifitkid|Wiifitkid]] ([[User talk:Wiifitkid|talk]]) 10:25, July 4, 2022 (EDT)

Quick update on this, Onin has been added since he won a major. DDee I was going to add but decided to put him off for now because he lacks a lot of results and only has one tournament above regional level, plus his plans on potentially solo-maining PT meaning his Steve results would be lost in time compared to the other Steve players. I think most people would be on board with DDee if he continues to play Steve and see another top 8 at a major (DreamHack?).

any reason ddee hasn't been added yet? i mean i get that he only really had one major performance but he's literally pgr, top 20 even [[User:Luigi86101|Luigi86101]] ([[User talk:Luigi86101|talk]]) 19:53, November 14, 2022 (EST)
:Only one major, he's been going a lot of PT and the PGRs were regional. Lots of PGR v3 players aren't on the lists. [[User:Wiifitkid|Wiifitkid]] ([[User talk:Wiifitkid|talk]]) 19:55, November 14, 2022 (EST)
:: PGRs were regional sure but he was top 20, and even in orionrank which was international he was top 50, anyway after his performance at dreamhsck atlanta where he beat esam and placed 9th i still dont see any reason now to keep him off the list [[User:Luigi86101|Luigi86101]] ([[User talk:Luigi86101|talk]]) 01:30, November 21, 2022 (EST)
== Split Proposal ==
Seems there's no on-wiki discussion about this yet, so let's start this off.
I '''support this so long as Brawl {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} gets similar treatment'''. Both are significant events in ''Smash'' history, being the only singles characters to see bans, and should absolutely get the coverage such actions warrant. One could argue Smash 4 {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} and some Doubles combinations (eg. Double Cloud in S4, I think 64 has some too?) as well, though Bayonetta didn't actually see prevalent bans. Doubles combinations could possibly be a single article or something?
Let's say this proposal accounts for Brawl Meta Knight as well, considering it was a far wider-reaching ban and was even in the Guiness Book of Records, I think?? I'll plop the proposal tag on the page after this is up, anyway.
Naturally, such pages should be on the "significant events" template as well. -[[File:PlagueSigImage.png|20px]][[User:Plague von Karma|<span style="color: #4952eb;">'''Plague'''</span>]][[User talk:Plague von Karma|<span style="color: #4952eb;">''' von Karma'''</span>]][[File:PlagueSigImage.png|20px]] 20:22, October 30, 2023 (EDT)
:'''Support''' for making articles about both Meta Knight's and Steve's bans. '''[[User:Voqéo|<span style="background:#000; color:white; padding:2px 6px;font-size:12px;">Voqéo</span>]][[User talk:Voqéo|<span style="background:#e70012; color:white; padding:2px 4px;font-size:12px;">T</span>]]''' 11:18, October 31, 2023 (EDT)
:'''Support''' as the original proposer. I don't mind Meta Knight getting one either.

:'''Support''' for making articles about both. However I do not think that Smash 4 Doubles Cloud/Bayonetta need their own articles - there was never really a push to ban Bayo and Cloud just went without much fuss at a time where the game was already "dead". [[User:Pumpernickelpeter47|Pumpernickelpeter47]] ([[User talk:Pumpernickelpeter47|talk]]) 10:30, March 22, 2024 (EDT)
:'''Support''' per proposal. Title could be something along the lines of "Discussions of character bans" as a full character ban is a somewhat uncommon occurence. [[User:ZeusDeeGoose|ZeusDeeGoose]] ([[User talk:ZeusDeeGoose|talk]]) 13:12, August 12, 2024 (EDT)
==Expanding MHSP to 15==
Currently Steve stands at its limit of 10 players, and with the release of the [[LumiRank 2024.1|most recent ranking]], we are choosing to add one more who had reached the top 30 ({{Sm|Carmelo}}). While at the moment there are discussions to replace {{Sm|Quandale Dinglelingleton}} with Carmelo, the point remains that we will still be at the limit, and with many other potential Steve players on the come-up, we are likely going to have to go over the current limit. As such, I am proposing that we raise Steve's threshold to 15 for the following reasons:
*Steve is the most popular ''Ultimate'' character in competitive play. He had been ranked 1st by OrionRank/LumiRank in terms of representation since July-December 2022, and in the current season there are going to be 6 Steve players ranked top 50, which is not including Miya's secondary Steve.
*Currently, there are 10 players who easily are historically significant: 3 have won majors with Steve (acola, Onin, Miya); 6 have ranked well in the top 50 with Steve (Carmelo, crepe salee, Jake, Syrup, Yamanaction, yonni); and DDee, while never being formally ranked, has been a top 20-level player for quite some time now. In addition, Quandale Dinglelingleton had ranked in the top 100 and has wins over several top players such as Light (Collision 2023), Zackray (Ludwig Smash Invitational), and Tweek (Fusion 100), and placements such as 9th at SSC 2022 and 13th at Collision 2023. Finally, there are a slew of other up-and-coming Steve players, including Many, Raki, and 33Peranbox, who are all likely going to be ranked top 100 sooner or later, or at least an HM. Either way, there will be a lot of Steve players up for contention.
To sum it up, the section is currently at 10 players, with one more that will be historically significant being discussed right now. As such, the threshold should be increased to 15.

:'''Support''' - We are at that point where we we will soon run out of spots, even if we limit it to top 50 players. I believe Steve, being not only regarded as the best character in the game, but also the most represented character at top level, warrants expansion to 15.
