The first two thing that came to my mind are "Anime Swordsman" and "Cereal Mascot". Despite of their nature. these deserve to be mentioned. [[User:XeroSchnee20|XeroSchnee20]] ([[User talk:XeroSchnee20|talk]]) 16:15, June 29, 2023 (EDT)

:Much of the terms throughout the glossary are already fan terms, so there's no need for a separate "fanbase-centric" section. As for those two terms; "Anime Swordsman" has little applicable purposes that makes it worth defining here, something like "Swordie" is a much more applicable term, and I don't even know what you mean by "Cereal Mascot", that's absolutely not a term I see at all used within a Smash context. <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> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 17:30, June 29, 2023 (EDT)
::Cereal Mascot is a term to refer forgotten cartoony characters from old video games (mostly platformers like Crash or Banjo) with cult followings. it was some sort of weird insult towards people who wanted Banjo-Kazooie. Nowadays, the slang was replaced with "Scrimblo Bimblo the Loveable Scrunko" in which translated to "Any video game character with a cartoony design. Old or new, Famous or Niche, animal or not, it doesn't matter what genre came from". It came from a Twitter post (which also spawned the "Popular McRPGguy").

:::"''Cereal Mascot is a term to refer forgotten cartoony characters from old video games (mostly platformers like Crash or Banjo) with cult followings.''"
:::That is absolutely not any sort of Smash-relevant term, and putting shit like this in the glossary would bloat it to hell with useless "terminology". <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> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 18:47, June 29, 2023 (EDT)
