Talk:Ganon, The Demon King

Continuity Error

Should it be mentioned that while Ganondorf lacks his glowing scar from Twilight Princess, Beast Ganon has it? The Inker 01:01, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Ganondorf's, Zelda's, and Link's design is supposed to represent the series as a whole. It is worth being mentioned, however.Nintendofan146 20:11, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Small error in description

Ganondorf actually can kill himself with this move. If used on top of a falling block platform with nothing below him, the block will fall during the final smash animation and after the final smash has occured, Ganondorf will be warped to the location of the block (i.e. off the screen) and SD.

Was that right?

I just added a trophy picture. Did i do it right? It was my first time, so I just wanted to know if that was right. ~Darkness (talk) 19:13, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Looks fine to me. Toomai Glittershine The Stats Guy cntrbs 20:04, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Move

I oppose moving the page, and instead I would propose that the pages be split on the grounds that the final smash in Ultimate seems to be quite distinct from the old final smash in Brawl and SSB4. Alex the Jigglypuff trainer 17:42, 9 July 2018 (EDT)

I Support moving the page, and oppose a split. VoqéoT 19:20, 9 July 2018 (EDT)

I Support the split. George Jones (talk) 22:32, 9 July 2018 (EDT)

I've already explained this to you, Alex: the same move does not deserve a page split. A design change doesn't mean it's a different Final Smash altogether. Aidan, the College-Bound Rurouni 23:51, 9 July 2018 (EDT)

See, making a claim that it "seems to be" distinct already disproves its validity. SmashWiki is not speculative. That said, I support moving the page. DracoRex, Creator of the Land 00:10, 10 July 2018 (EDT)

Maintain page under current title for now; if the two moves have no substantial gameplay difference, move to the SSBU name after we're sure it's finalized. Miles (talk) 18:19, 11 July 2018 (EDT)

I'm going to make it a redirect for the time being, since it is a name that Sakurai and Nintendo are using. We will wait until the official release of the game to move it over. Aidan, the College-Bound Rurouni 00:00, 12 July 2018 (EDT)

I Support moving and oppose a split. I don't think there's really much to wait for, we've seen the entirety of the final smash. If it does end up being changed in a major way, which I doubt, then we can move it accordingly. Pokebub (talk) 04:25, 20 July 2018 (EDT)

I've seen this debate before, specifically on the Doom Wiki. The final boss of Doom 1 was renamed from "Spiderdemon" to "Spider Mastermind" when it reappeared in Doom 2. Doom Wiki decided that their wiki policy was that articles would be named after the earliest name, in this case Spiderdemon. Now we have this debate again in the Smash Wiki. Will we stick to the earliest name out of principle? The most recent name? Will we pick the name that Nintendo declares is official? Most likely not that last one, given how many other articles are referred to by their most common fandom name (Tech over Breakfall, L-Cancel over Smooth Landing) so will we use that as the policy going forward? 99.46.176.64 19:13, 21 July 2018 (EDT)

SmashWiki is not official, but in the context of a moveset, we don't take fannames. Aidan, the College-Bound Rurouni 21:38, 21 July 2018 (EDT)
