::::: Untill something that really allows smashers to play together without prior meditation, such as playing online, if that ever happens, we can't really refine nor define skill sharp enough to make a scale or rating system of anysort. I appologise if I sounded a little bit upset up there when I requested to stop. It could have gotten out of hand VERY quickly if it didn't stop soon. My final point is: Leave the skill level alone, perhaps even the entire template, untill we can really nail something solid down. [[User:Oddeven2002|Oddeven2002]] 04:59, January 14, 2007 (GMT)

The N64 was a console, not a video game. We don't call ''Melee'' "GCN", or ''Brawl'' "Wii", cos that would be dumb. Nor do we call them "SSBM GCN" or "SSBB Wii", cos that too would be dumb. Instead, we call them ''SSBM''/''Melee'' and ''SSBB''/''Brawl''. Why can't we just call ''SSB'' "''SSB''"?

== Standardization of inputs ==
I think we need to smack this with the deprecation hammer again:
* <code>main</code>, <code>2ndmain</code>, <code>other</code>, and <code>2ndother</code> need to have <code>ssbm</code> stuck on the end.
* <code>doublesmain</code> should be <code>doublesmainssbb</code>; <code>doublesmainssb</code> and <code>doublesmainssbm</code> need to be added.
That's the bare minimum as I can see, but is there anything else that we can use this as an opportunity to change? [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Pan-Galactic 14:44, 14 September 2012 (EDT)

There are two things I think should be added:
#A slot for a player's ELO rating. ELO ratings for Melee players can be found on [[SSBPD]], and Brawl players can be found on [http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=262480 this thread]. For Brawl, a separate ranking for MK legal and banned will be needed.
#A slot for the total amount of money a player has won from verifiable tournaments. While we realistically cannot provide an accurate amount in the smasher space's current condition, once we manage to get full results on a player, we can put on a good estimation. If this idea is implemented, perhaps we should have a slot for each Smash game? (For those that play multiple Smash games competitively).
These things will compliment the "skill" listing, and help readers get a quick idea of how successful the player is in competitive play. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 19:30, 19 September 2012 (EDT)
