User:CanvasK/Sandbox/Spirit proposals

Just to keep track of the various designs proposed for spirit battles since the talk page is riddled with large tables and comment chains getting derailed.

Current design

Spirit			Battle parameters							Inspiration
No.	Image	Name	Enemy Fighter(s)	Type	Power	Stage	Rules	Conditions	Music
952		Fiora	•Lucina •Shulk		9,300	Gaur Plain (Battlefield form)	•Defense ↓	•You have reduced defense after a little while	Time to Fight! - Xenoblade Chronicles	Lucina's yellow costume features her hair turning yellow, referencing Fiora's blonde hair. The Shulk minion's white costume is based on Mecha-Fiora's color scheme, the half-Mechon form Fiora eventually takes on in Xenoblade Chronicles. The stage and music represents Fiora's appearance in Xenoblade Chronicles. The Defense ↓ rule references Shulk's art, Slit Edge, which reduces an enemy's defense. This spirit's Made of Metal ability references how Fiora is transformed into her half-Mechon form, Mecha-Fiora.
966		Rex	•Shulk (90 HP) •Lucina (90 HP)		9,900	Kongo Falls (Ω form)	•Hazard: Lava Floor	•The floor is lava •Stamina battle •The enemy starts the battle with a Fire Bar	Battle!! - Xenoblade Chronicles 2	Shulk and Rex are both the main protagonists of each Xenoblade Chronicles games. Shulk references also references both Rex and Shulk meeting briefly in a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 DLC cutscene. The stage, without DLC, references Fonsett Island, a jungle-like area where Rex was raised in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The stage, without DLC, takes place on a jungle, referencing the Lost Woods in the Sacred Land map where Rex's spirit is located in World of Light. The music represents Rex's appearance in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Shulk starts off with a Fire Bar and Lucina references Pyra, a Fire Blade who also serves as Rex's main Blade. The Lava Floor hazard, without DLC, references Pyra's ability to engulf the battlefield in flames.
						Cloud Sea of Alrest (Ω form)	N/A	•Stamina battle •The enemy starts the battle with a Fire Bar	Argentum
957		Melia	•Palutena •Shulk		4,200	Gaur Plain (Battlefield form)	•Hazard: Poison Floor	•The floor is poisonous •The enemy's magic attacks have increased power	Time to Fight! - Xenoblade Chronicles	The Palutena puppet fighter references both Palutena and Melia bearing similarities, including robes, staffs, and the ability to cast magic attacks. The Shulk minion fighter references Melia being a member of Shulk's party, with the puppet fighter's lavender costume being based off of Melia's color scheme. The stage and music represent Melia's appearance in Xenoblade Chronicles. The Poison Floor hazard, battle conditions, and this spirit's Magic Attack ↑ ability reference Melia's specialty in ether attacks, specifically elementals, one of which applies a long-lasting and very damaging poison effect.

YoshiRyu's proposal

Remove the inspiration column from the spirit battle section and create a new section for trivia. The idea is to allow spirit battles to take up less space and allow for non-battle trivia to be given a home.

Gabo 2oo's proposal

Move inspirations to be just below the battle parameters. The idea is to minimize horizontal and vertical space. (other things were included in their proposal but that is not relevant to this)

MariusM's proposal

Similar to Gabo 2oo's proposal, it aims to reduce horizontal and vertical space by moving the inspiration to another row, but below everything instead of just the parameters. This removes the numerous rowspans that Gabo 2oo's design requires, which is preferred to minimize duplicate data from being generated when sorting as well as reduce processing needed to generate said duplicate data.

CanvasK's addition

Add class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" to the inspiration row to hide everything by defualt, further reducing vertical space.

Aidanzapunk's proposal

Leave everything as is, but make the inspiration column collapsable, to take up less vertical space, and to allow people to read about certain spirit battles at their own leisure.
