Editing Talk:Super Smash Bros.

==They're Figurines, Not Trophies==
It needs mentioning on this page that the characters are figurines that are brought to life by Master Hand, unlike in '''''Brawl''''', for example, in which the characters are trophies that are brought to life. I would add this in, but I don't know where it would go. Master Hand's page also needs changing along the same lines.

==Character Pages==
Now, every character has his or her own SSB character page, whereas before they did not.  However, many of these pages need work.
Characters in need of a moveset: Luigi, DK, Link, Samus, Falcon, Ness, Yoshi, Kirby, and Pikachu

Characters missing a Combo/Stategy/Other Section: Luigi, Mario, DK, Link, Yoshi, and Kirby.
Other issues or problems I found with each character.

Luigi-It is alright, but it should contain some strategies that Luigi players can use.

Mario-It gives some information, but nothing that a player couldn't discover in Training Mode by himself.

DK-Moveset and Combo/Strategy Section

Link-To me it seems a bit short, more info should be added

Samus-Can be made more useful

CFalcon-To me that overview paragraph is too long and intimidating

Ness-See Samus

Yoshi-See Link

Kirby-See Yoshi

Fox-Very good article (no bias coming from me making it >_>), maybe add attack descriptions and/or combos (depending on whether public opinion wants so)
Pikachu-Moveset

Jigglypuff-IMO the best one.

Also, it would look better if all characters followed a single format.
From what it seems, most of them are as follows: An intro paragraph/overview, a pros/cons list, a moveset, then Combos/Strats.

I think that Combo/Strats should be broken up.  Then we can have an actual combo section, while strats can contain random useful info.[[User:ShoeThief|ShoeThief]] 20:55, March 3, 2007 (GMT)

Shouldn't this section really be in the [[Melee]] article?  SSB came first, whereas Melee built upon and changed SSB's design.  Also, we should avoid Melee-centrism (see [[User:Kirby King/Issues]]

== Characters ==

Can someone make a list of characters that were supposed to appear, but didn't do to spacial issues. The only ones I know of are Peach and Bowser.--[[User:Aipom|Aipom]]--
:And Dedede, as well as possibly a few others. I think it could be neat, but we need valid sources and whatnot. [[User:Johnknight1|Johnknight1]] 18:54, November 11, 2007 (EST)

I would put it on both places.

I edited it. The only ones that are true are Dedede, Bowser, and Mewtwo (true as in "the only ones that have a source backing them up"). No evidence for Peach, Pit, or the others mentioned there.[[User:Sir Ilpalazzo|Sir Ilpalazzo]] ([[User talk:Sir Ilpalazzo|talk]]) 17:19, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Pit was mentioned by Sakurai but was ousted for Jiggly. Can't remember wher though.

Pit was never mentioned by Sakurai (for the first Smash). I'm absolutely 100% sure of this, and that the three mentioned above were the only ones who were supposed to be in at some point (along with Sukapon). People keep editing the article to add those others back in, but there's no proof.[[User:Sir Ilpalazzo|Sir Ilpalazzo]] ([[User talk:Sir Ilpalazzo|talk]]) 17:19, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry for this, but I don't know how to cite sources here. These are the links that prove (as in - direct statements from Nintendo's sites and Sakurai) that those three were planned at some points (Sukapon was considered for Melee, not Smash 64, so I was wrong there).

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult2.html

I was wrong to have Sukapon there (perhaps a Melee trivia section is in order, there's definitely enough for that) but the others are right, and in all my searches through official materials, I've never seen proof for the others.[[User:Sir Ilpalazzo|Sir Ilpalazzo]] ([[User talk:Sir Ilpalazzo|talk]]) 17:19, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

According to that page (translated), the characters (in order) that were desired but didn't appear were...

#Bowser -- 169 votes
#Peach -- 66
#Wario -- 65
#King Dedede -- 46
#Ganon/Ganondorf -- 36
#James Bond -- 35
#Mewtwo -- 35
#Banjo & Kazooie -- 33
#Toad -- 27

Hmm... makes me wonder which ones should really deserve mention... And definitely NOT Meowth.

It wasn't Giygas, the votes were for "Mother 2 characters" or something like that. It didn't refer to any specific character (like the vote for Pokemon farther down the line). EDIT: It was really Mr. Saturn.

Also, it was specifically Ash / Satoshi and not the game Pokemon Trainer that was voted for. Weird but worth mentioning.

I hope it's okay, but since that list is the one that people will be seeing if they go to this page, I've edited it to be more accurate. If this is wrong, you can change it back. [[User:Sir Ilpalazzo|Sir Ilpalazzo]] ([[User talk:Sir Ilpalazzo|talk]]) 00:33, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

No, this was a poll for who people wanted in the NEXT Smash game. (Melee) Not for who was considered in the original Smash, because in the full list, it has characters like Sonic, Megaman, and Crash Bandicoot. This poll was made before Melee was announced as well. Meowth and Pit were on the poll too, but they weren't in the top 20. ([[User:GoldenYuiitusin|GoldenYuiitusin]] ([[User talk:GoldenYuiitusin|talk]]) 00:51, May 19, 2010 (UTC))

== Hyrule and Peachs castle and Saffron City ==

Hyrule and Peach's castle appeared redone in Melee though it dosent say, and the Saffron City model has changed to the...unlockable earthbound stage...in Melee.
:I'd be hesitant to consider any of those stages the same.  The two castle stages both force completely different game play styles and the Earthbound stage is only like Safron insofar as it is on the tops of buildings.  As for any other elements, they are completely different.

==Character models==

It looks like, for the characters that had 3D models made for them prior to SSB, the character models used in game are taken directly from the relevant game.  In particular, I've noticed Fox and Link look very similar to their models in Star Fox 64 and Ocarina of Time, respectively.  If this is the case, then I'm pretty sure it's the only SSB game to do so; aren't all the models in Melee and Brawl unique to that game?  Might be worth mentioning under Trivia.
:I don't see how the models can be "copied". For example, Link's (SSB) sword does not look like the Master Sword, and his hands have no fingers.

It has been brought up elsewhere that there's a decent case to move this to [[Super Smash Bros. 64]], under [[SW:OFFICIAL|the same rationale]] that we use to explain why we call it [[Super Smash Bros. 4]]. The main reason this page has never been brought up is probably just because it's never occured to anyone, or for grandfather clause reasons, or what have you.

:I'm not an expert or anything, but there are several things that could be going on here. 1. They could have been lying, who knows. 2. It could have been pulled from the files of a later version of the Japanese game. 3. They might have planned for a language selector to be in the game, as in Melee. 4. Some non-Japan native could have been put in charge of getting the voices, I don't know. or 5. They could have decided to port the game after overseas hype of the Japanese version BEFORE it was released. That last one seems like the most likely one to me.

::::Are you referring to adding "(game)" to the page's URL, or the title on the page? Although its not the "official" name, most people ''do'' refer to it as ''Smash '''64''''' to differ from the series itself. The original ''Paper Mario'' is also commonly referred to as ''Paper Mario '''64''''' for the same reason. Despite a lot of games released on the N64 having '''64''' at the end, not all games without the 64 are referred to as '''64'''. ''Smash'' and ''Paper Mario'' just happen to some of them referred to as such. I believe it may stem from the fact that the next installment in the series was released on a different console. If finding the page is the problem, all the installments are always listed on the navigation on the left side of the Wiki under the Wiki's logo for that very reason. If we ''were'' to add "(game)", it would make more sense, to ''me'', to add it to the '''URL''' and not the page itself. However, the series is ''already'' specified to be a separate page by having "(series)". Although it is weird how the period is after ''64'' and not ''Bros'' considering its after Bros in the title.

Most users searching for ''Super Smash Bros.'' would be looking for the series, not ''Smash 64''. ''Super Smash Bros. 64'' is overwhelming the common name among fans. It only makes sense to be moved.
