Other characters

This edit you made was a blatant violation of how we handle recording character usage. The other characters entry in infoboxes is only for legitimate secondaries, which means when adding other characters to someone's infobox, they must meet the following criteria:

• The player uses the character in actual tournament sets (so no characters they just fuck around with on streams and similar casual environments)
• The player uses the character against legitimate opponents (so not just against pool scrubs they could beat with anyone)
• The player uses the character with some real degree of success (so not a character they bust out just to lose with, the character must actually win them sets against legitimate opponents)
• The player uses the character with some matter of frequency (so no one-offs like Nairo's Ult Ganon either)
• The player used the character some time recently (or was still using the character by the time they stopped playing in the case of retired players), as infoboxes are meant to be up to date. If the player no longer uses the character but their usage of the character was significant, they must instead be put as a retired character (though Hungrybox's Ness wouldn't remotely qualify for this either, when it was a failed short-lived attempted counterpick against Armada's Young Link and then was only ever used for occasional sandbagging afterward).

The wiki had a serious problem in the past with the "other characters" entries of smashers' infoboxes being disgustingly bloated with useless characters that the players barely or never actually used in tournaments, and it took a concentrated effort by the userbase to address the problem (and it's still not fully cleaned up, I still come across smasher pages with bloated character usage in their infoboxes). Do follow this from now on whenever adding to someone' characters in their infobox. Omega Tyrant 13:59, April 29, 2023 (EDT)
