maybe i kept adding it because people kept deleting it without discussing why, DUH. secondly, rawk, you can just shut up right now, because you didn't even post a valid reason like kirbyking and smoreking did. thirdly, thats fine if you guys don't want it in there, but i still don't see the harm.

: It wouldn't hurt to give those matchup charts the same treatment as phanna's [[Character matchup (SSBM)|All Characters Match-Up Chart]]. [[User:MaskedMarth|MaskedMarth]] ([[User talk:MaskedMarth|talk]]) 05:16, 14 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
::I would concur with you except for the fact that neither of those matchup charts are as well designed as Phanna's. All they were based on is comments that people put in the forums. So, if someone simply wrote a lot about how s/he had trouble beating Ganon as Meta Knight, those charts would just take that into account without checking empirical data.

I like how it looks now, except that the Did You Know template is a bit short. Maybe we should make it have 10 facts or something. That would solve the extra space problem. <span style="color:#4CBB17">--Posted by</span> [[User:Pikamander2|<span style="color:#007FFF">Pikamander2</span>]] <small>[[User Talk:Pikamander2|<span style="color:#007FFF">(Talk)</span>]]</small> at 12:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
:Well, I just tried 10 facts to see how that works, and it still leaves some space. We would need to make it have 15-20 facts, but I don't think that a large wall of text would look that great.

::I've moved it back. Please view the page as an anon: With the dyk on the left and the help on the right, the page stretches unbearably at normal resolutions and only gets worse as your screen gets smaller.

::::haha, your screwed. im getting my way one way or another. either you can move back the DYK, or, i could put up the featured video again (maybe with something else) and you guys wont have a reason to say no.

:::::::One, no encyclopedic value. Two, slows load time. Three, it's not a compelling case of fair use, so it very well may be illegal for some of the videos.
