+== My, we've still a lot of work to do ==
+Most of the character articles (or at least those related to Melee, i.e. the ones I've read) are woefully poor. I might run through the Character Project and re-clarify our objectives, and then get to work on articles. Some ideas:
+* Pro/con absolutely needs to go. It's unprofessional and sloppy thinking.
+* It could be replaced by a repository of basic statistics - where a character ranks in weight, running speed, jump height, falling speed, traction.
+* Character strategies. If we include them, they must be organized very carefully (here's a [[Captain Falcon (SSBM)|bad example]]). My personal way of outlining a character's strategy is to look at their game in three parts: approach, comboing, and killing. That's one organization method; there are others. Regardless we should all be on the same page when it comes to such ideas.
+* Notable moves and attributes - there needs to be criteria for what we note. Attributes like floating or having five jumps are clearly important, but how do we determine it for attacks? Where do borderline cases like Marth/Roy's turnaround bair work out?
+I'm going to reflect on these thoughts a while before editing the project, but it's coming, and I'll rip into those character pages with a vengeance :) <font face="centaur">&ndash; [[User:MaskedMarth|MaskedMarth]] <sup>([[User talk:MaskedMarth|t]] [[Special:Contributions/MaskedMarth|c]])</sup></font> 21:18, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
