| :::Let me put it this way: a character's status as DLC is analogous to their status as starter/unlockable. This template isn't sorting characters by starter/unlockable status, but by veteran/newcomer status. The places that note their DLC status, like [[Template:SSB4 character table]], are ones which already mentioned starter/unlockable status. Does that make sense?

| ::::Except there's a large difference between starter/unlockable and DLC. (Also I'm not particularly fond of how you phrased that as if to talk down to me.) With the fact that Mewtwo and Lucas are not in the game unless you pay for them, they are in their own category. They aren't in the game if you don't purchase them. Starters and unlockables are constantly there. With such an important differentiation, we need someway to show it. <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|you]].

| :::::There isn't a difference. DLC is a paid unlock method. Their DLC status is (as it should be) reported in all locations that for other characters report their starter/unlockable status. That's how it should be.

| ::::"Mewtwo and Lucas are not in the game unless you pay for them" We do not know for sure whether this is the case. The other possibility is that the updates that everyone downloads contain the characters, and you can play against other people who have them online, they're just greyed out on the selection screen or something.

| :::::Even so, the way it's presented now, it looks like they're already in the game just waiting to be used. Users often come here to see what characters they need to unlock and such, or what characters are in the game, etc. (I know this because that's the only reason I'm on the site). If someone comes to this template to see what characters are in without any other knowledge (which, again, I know can happen because that was me), they're going to think "OH YAY MEWTWO IS BACK I'M GOING TO BUY THIS GAME TO GET HIM", and then be sorely disappointed when they have to pay twelve bucks to get him. <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|you]].

| ::::::::Following your example, I find it hard to believe anyone would decide to buy a game based on Mewtwo's presence in the roster without clicking on its page.

| What if we compromised with, say, asterisks for the DLC characters? Obviously, something more noticeable would be preferred. [[Special:Contributions/72.152.70.243|72.152.70.243]] 18:30, 3 April 2015 (EDT)

| :I'd prefer something more like what's seen on the character table (with a <small>(DLC)</small>), but yeah, that'd be fine.

| ::I think that if any such differentiation were to be done, it would be with italics or something, though the subsequently-necessary "this is what the italics mean" text would also be an eyesore. At this point I think we should keep things simple and undifferentiated until we know exactly how things will work.
