 ::Haha. I still think they should be called characters, and that the opinions of fans' shouldn't overrule fact. If it helps my case, in my entire ten years of playing this series, never have I heard anyone call them smashers. Then again, I am in Texas. It's a big state but it's extremely empty.

 :::Well, as I said, people never call them Smashers in the context of the actual game. You don't hear people say "Pikachu's my best Smasher", they say "Pikachu's my best character". That said, the term "Smasher" pops up too frequently in the in-universe context to be ignorable (in my opinion, anyway). The terms "character" (which only makes sense out-of-universe) and "fighter" (which the Dojo!! used but only makes sense in the context of an actual fight) don't seem to stick with fans.

+Why would you type out "smasher (character)" instead of just "character"? - <font face="lucida handwriting,segoe script">Ceci n’est pas un [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]].</font> 04:54, 12 May 2013 (EDT)
+:Because a Smasher can refer to a player of Super Smash Bros. but can also refer to a playable fighter. It is needed for clarification that a smasher can also be a character, and "Character" is already and existing redirect.

+::What Smiddle means is: Why should you have to put one word in front of another, when the second word could simply be the page name? Redirects can be deleted, you know. I have to say, Smiddle's proposal has me, I'd support a move to Character because of that.

+:::It's important to recgonize that a Smasher can also be a character. [[User:Ac2k|<span style="color: red;">'''Awesome'''</span>]] [[User talk:Ac2k|<span style="color: red;">'''Cardinal'''</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Ac2k|<span style="color: red;">'''2000'''</span>]] 19:00, 12 May 2013 (EDT)
+::::It's important to recognise that a character is also a character.

+:::::Oh, my apologies, I clearly haven't done my research. This is only a redirect. Well, in that case, carry on.

+This page exists because of an attempt to accomodate the people that use the term "Smasher" both to describe players and playable characters by converting "Smasher" to a disambiguation page. The disambig was undone by someone else and this was turned from a page into a redirect significantly later by another guy.
