'''Oppose''': This proposal is old but still open so I'm chiming in. With the move reason, no one says "main fighter", so moving from "main character" to "main fighter" because "no one says it" is not a good reason, and people generally say "characters", not "fighters" anyway. I also do not see what's "better" about "fighter", everyone knows what you mean with "character" in this context and other fighting games follow the same terminology with just calling them characters. And what Nutty says right, if any different title is more appropriate, it's just "main" if we're going by the term people actually use. <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 ]] 12:02, April 23, 2022 (EDT)
:As stated in an above message and in the template on the Article, the proposal is for the article to be renamed to "Main," not "Main fighter" like it was when I started it.

Yet another issue i see with this naming convention is that "main character" could also be easily mistaken as meaning 'protagonist' at a glance, this discussion hasn't exactly reached a conclusion since December 2020, i would say just make the move, i doubt that anybody would really lose sleep over it.

:A page that is linked to, let's see... over 5000 times probably shouldn't be moved just because no one cares about it. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 21:06, April 25, 2022 (EDT)
