{{notice|I'm doing testing for a different game. That, plus the holidays, likely means I won't be as active. Don't break anything.}}
A man with too much time on his hands and an unusual obsession with consistency and testing. I worked out the majority of values for [[spirit]]s and [[sticker]]s, extensively tested and documented spirit experience and attack multiplier limiter, documented finer details of [[hitlag]], enforced parity in listings of Spirit Battles and trophies as well as documented region differences in the latter, <small>uploaded/improved numerous files for on-screen appearances, <small>victory poses, <small>taunts, <small>attack demos, <small>trophy boxes, <small>Pokémon, <small>have done weird things that caused Porple to take time out of his day to add backend code</small></small></small></small></small></small></small>, and so on.

I know next to nothing about competitive Smash, so don't expect any edits or answers regarding it. Feel free to use information on this page and my sub-pages for the mainspace.

Apparently I have ownership of the [[User:CanvasK/Project Clean-Up|clean-up project]]. I recommend everyone look through it to get an idea of the scope and to help clean it up.

==To-do==
*Finish hitlag testing
*Some gif lists have inconsistent names, let's fix that
*Clean up [[:Category:Animated images]]

*Attempt to find HRC thresholds for different angles, if they exist
*Find when WoL music changes
*Update spirit effect translations
*Spirit Battle condition translations, at least for Japanese
*Keep an eye on Spirit Battles. Someones gotta
**Python script is functional, still quite a bit of manual work but at least it doesn't take 3 days. Thanks to SnorlaxMonster for getting me on track

===GIFs===
*A lot of attacks. May just scorched earth it since almost all of them are "misleading".
<!--===Effects===
There's at least 50. Where to even start?
===Types===
Done-->

===Pages to keep updated with DLC===
*[[Spirit]], total count
*[[List of spirits (complete list)]], new entries
*[[List of spirits (disambiguation)]], update counts
*[[Primary spirit]], new entries when applicable
*[[Support spirit]], new entries when applicable
*List of Spirits (<whatever> series) (usually [[List of spirits (Others)|Others]]), new entries
*[[Downloadable content (SSBU)/List of DLC Spirits]], new entries
*Various fighter pages, new entries when applicable
*[[List of Spirit Board events]]
*[[Rematch]], max score

==How to GIF==
There's a lot of sites that make GIFs, however most of them either lack control, add watermarks, or both; ezgif.com has decent control and no watermarks and I recommend it if you don't want to go through with the process below. There are two things that will be needed to make your own GIFs without websites or expensive editing programs: [https://www.ffmpeg.org/ FFmpeg] and [https://www.lcdf.org/gifsicle/ Gifsicle] (optional). Both of these programs are free command-line tools. Below is a command that will work for most situations:
<pre>ffmpeg -ss <start_time> -t <duration> -i <video_file> -vf "crop=<c_width>:<c_height>:<c_topleft_x>:<c_topleft_y>,fps=<framerate>,scale=<width>:<height>:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen=stats_mode=diff[p];[s1][p]paletteuse=dither=bayer" -loop 0 <output_file></pre>
Note: if "ffmpeg" or "gifsicle" aren't recognized as commands, find the location of the executable and use that. Example ffmpeg -> "C:\ffmpeg-4.2.2-win64-static\bin\ffmpeg.exe"
<pre>
start_time    = The first frame of the video. Can either be seconds or [HH:]MM:SS[.ms] format
duration      = How far after start_time to go
video_file    = Source file
output_file   = Output file
c_...         = Cropping. The width and height and the top-left corner coordinates
framerate     = The frames per second (fps) of the output. Due to GIF specifications, 50 fps is the technical max framerate possible
width, height = The width and height of the output. Either can be set to -1 to automatically change with the other. iw*x and ih*y can also be used to scale, example iw*.5 = 50% width

Any of the inputs (except video_file and output_file) can be removed if they are unneeded

split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen=stats_mode=diff[p];[s1][p]paletteuse=dither=bayer is to skirt around GIFs limited 256 color limit, either by dithering or creating a new set of 256 colors at a certain point. Optional, tends to increase filesize
-loop 0 forces looping. Never tried without it so I don't know what happens without it

Example: ffmpeg -ss 4.0 -t 2.8333 -i "Min Min.mp4" -vf "fps=15,scale=600:-1:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen=stats_mode=diff[p];[s1][p]paletteuse=dither=bayer" -loop 0 "MinMinOnScreenAppearanceSSBU.gif"
Use "Min Min.mp4", start 4 seconds in, go for 2.8333 seconds, play at 15 fps, scale width to 600, output to MinMinOnScreenAppearanceSSBU.gif.
</pre>
You are effectively done at this point. Afterwards Gifsicle can be used to reduce the filesize.
<pre>
gifsicle -b <gif_file> -O3 --lossy > <output_file>
gif_file    = Source file
output_file = Output file

-O3 lets Gifsicle determine how to optimize the file
--lossy means some data will may be lost. This isn't a concern because GIF's 256 color limit makes it barely noticeable
</pre>
To avoid doing multiple lines, we can "pipe" the FFmpeg output into Gifsicle's input:
<pre>
ffmpeg -ss <start_time> -t <duration> -i <video_file> -vf "crop=<c_width>:<c_height>:<c_topleft_x>:<c_topleft_y>,fps=<framerate>,scale=<width>:<height>:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen=stats_mode=diff[p];[s1][p]paletteuse=dither=bayer" -loop 0 -f gif - | gifsicle -O3 --lossy > <output_file>

-f gif tells FFmpeg that the file will be a GIF, which is necessary for Gifsicle to process

Example: Example: ffmpeg -ss 4.0 -t 2.8333 -i "Min Min.mp4" -vf "fps=15,scale=600:-1:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen=stats_mode=diff[p];[s1][p]paletteuse=dither=bayer" -loop 0 -f gif - | gifsicle -O3 --lossy > "MinMinOnScreenAppearanceSSBU.gif"
</pre>
This will take care of almost everything you need for GIFs. See [https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html FFmpeg's] and [https://www.lcdf.org/gifsicle/man.html Gifsicle's] documentation for more details and other commands. And remember, it is pronounced GIF not GIF.
===Formats===

==WebM test==
This is a comparison of WebM and GIF

[[File:GunnerOnScreenAppearanceSSBU.webm|400px]]{{clr}}
WebM: 60 fps, full color-space, 1.07 MiB/1.12 MB (1,122,784 bytes)

[[File:GunnerOnScreenAppearanceSSBU.gif|400px]]{{clr}}
GIF: 15 fps, 256 colors, 3.53 MiB/3.70 MB (3,707,356 bytes)

Pros of WebM:
#Smaller file size
#Higher potential frame rate
#Larger color space
<!--#I get to show off and play with my new toy-->

Cons of WebM:
#Not as many browsers support it
#Doesn't autoplay; May be a good thing considering point #4
#<s>Doesn't autoloop</s> Loops if the time is <15 seconds
#Much greater CPU usage

"\…" is used to escape characters, preventing the regex from interpreting them as part of the regex command. "(…)" defines a capture group. "." matches any character. "*" matches 0-infinite of the prior character; ".*" matches 0-infinite of any character. "[…]" defines a set of characters. "^" is a NOT operator; "[^…]" equates to not these characters. "\1,2,3,..." references a capture group in the search field, counting up from left to right. "$1,2,3,..." references a capture group in the replace field, counting up from left to right.

==Spirit Experience==
This is the results of testing experience.

The amount of experience a Spirit needs to reach lv.99 is based on its max power, rank, number of slots, if it is enhanceable, and if it is neutral or not. Power does not refer to 'Team Power'; power is attack+defense, team power is power modified by styles and skills.

===Max Experience===
The equation is:<br>
<code>max_exp = Power * slot_multiplier + class_exp</code><br>
If the Spirit is neutral, divide the result by 2.

====Slot Multiplier====
*0 slots: 0.5
*1 slot : 0.55
*2 slots: 0.605
*3 slots: 0.6655
If the Spirit is enhanceable, multiply this value by 1.5.

====Class Experience====
For non-enhanceable:
*1: 12000
*2: 20000
*3: 40000
*4: 60000
For enhanceable:
*Starts at class 1:
**2: 22000
**3: 32000
**4: 42000
*Starts at class 2:
**3: 30000
**4: 40000
*Starts at class 3:
**4: 50000

===Experience Growth===
With <code>max_exp</code> determined it is possible to find the experience needed to reach any level.

Exp at any level = <code>max_exp × (ratio^(level - 1) - 1)/(ratio^(98) - 1)</code><br>
Exp to the next level = <code>max_exp × (ratio^(level - 1))/(ratio^(98) - 1) × (ratio - 1)</code>

====Ratio====
Ratio is based on class.
*1: 1.03
*2: 1.035
*3: 1.04
*4: 1.04

===Exceptions===
Between versions 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 Baby Mario (Superstar Mario), Tiki (Naga's Voice), K.K. Slider, Soma Cruz, and Dr. Kawashima (Concentration Training) had their stats changed without their max experience being updated. This causes them to require less experience than normal. Link (Link's Awakening) is also an exception, but instead requires more experience than normal (24276 vs 22851). Possible explanations are that his Power was 1.5× higher at one point or he was enhance-able from class 2 to 4.

==Limiter==
The "Limiter", as I call it, is a hidden function involving Spirits and their damage multipliers. It only affects damage multipliers related to Sword types, Throw types (not attacks, types... I think), and 'Generic', 'Generic' being a term I use for damage multipliers that affect everything.

The first step to the function is to combine all of the related multipliers (Fist to fist, sword to sword, generic to generic, etc.) to get the <code>raw_combined_mult</code> (terms are my own, not official). This includes both positive (>1.0×) and negative multipliers (<1.0×) from traits, skills, and styles.

Next step, if the multiplier is for sword or generic, is to go through the following:
<pre>
IF raw_combined_mult < 1.3:
    do nothing
IF raw_combined_mult > 1.3 AND raw_combined_mult < 1.5:
    final_combined_mult = raw_combined_mult * 0.5 + 0.65
IF raw_combined_mult > 1.5:
    final_combined_mult = raw_combined_mult * 0.2 + 1.2
</pre>
The <code>final_combined_mult</code> is what is used when an attack hits. Critical Hit ↑, Metal Killer, and Giant Killer do not use generic, they act outside everything similar to the 1v1 multiplier. Skills that will easily get you to experience the limiter are Trade-Off Attacks ↑ and Poison Power Up. Poison Power Up has a multiplier of 2.0×, but the limiter causes it to come out as 1.6×. Trade-Off Attacks ↑ has a multiplier of 1.23×, requiring an additional multiplier of 1.057× to reach the limiter. Trade-Off Attacks ↑ (1.23×) + Trade-Off Abilities ↑ (1.18×) will give 1.3757× instead of 1.4514×.
