::To expand on how you can find out yourself: Look at the code of {{t|SSB4Tiers}}. Note how tier B is coded as <nowiki>{{TierHeaderBlock|c=11|t=3|cs=3|B}}</nowiki>: t=3 and c=11, meaning it's tier 3 of 11 colours. Now go to {{t|TierColour}} and scroll down to colour set 11 and look at tier 3: ffbf00 border, ffdf7f cell background, and ffefbf header background.

== 360 degrees? ==
Does this angle even exist? That is a very stupid question, I know, but I still ask because Kurogane Hammer lists the Gunner's up aerial as having that angle among its hitboxes. [http://kuroganehammer.com/Smash4/Mii%20Gunner Proof]. --[[File:BeepYouSignature.png|50px]] [[User:BeepYou|<font color="Black">'''BeepYou'''</font>]], '''a user with no grammar at all :v''' [[User talk:BeepYou|<font color="Black">'''(talk)'''</font>]] 16:16, 10 April 2016 (EDT)
:A 360 angle could technically exist and would act just like a 0, but in this case I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a 366, not a 360. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Celeritous 09:55, 11 April 2016 (EDT)
== Are you still good at crunching numbers? ==
I've noticed something weird about the random choice in ''Smash 4''. For some reason, when a player (human or computer) is set to random, it's overwhelmingly likely that the character that shows up will have his or her default palette swap, rather than having an equal chance of being any color change like in Brawl. I've noticed a different color for some other characters like Palutena; while she's normally default when picked at random, she's sometimes in her red costume (and that's the only other one that gets picked). Is this a glitch? How are colors decided when random is selected? <font face="X-Files">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#0000a5">Blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#0000a5">Ninjakoopa</span>]]</font> 17:26, 11 April 2016 (EDT)
:Admittedly, I'm curious about the matter as well. [[File:AidanzapunkSig1.png|20px]][[User:Aidanzapunk|<span style="color: blue;">'''Aidan'''</span>]], [[User talk:Aidanzapunk|<span style="color: blue;">'''the Wandering Dragon Warrior'''</span>]][[File:AidanzapunkSig2.png|20px]] 17:31, 11 April 2016 (EDT)
Yeah it's pretty evident that SSB4 heavily favours default costumes upon random (which I think is a good idea). I haven't seen a hint of that Palutena behaviour though; all alts are equally (un)likely for me.

== Low Priority ==
How is it fundamentally wrong in ''Smash 4''? How do you explain any of the hitbox interactions with Bayonetta's smash attacks, for example? Or Corrin's forward smash? They do not act like any other hitbox, and I've tested them to where they literally lose to jabs when they are too close. They '''lose''' every single trade that happens. If that is not low priority, how do you explain it, given what is now missing on the page to explain that kind of interaction? [[User:Smashgold347238|<span style="color:#D4AF37">Gold</span>]] [[file:Goldsig.png|20px|link=User talk:Smashgold347238]] 19:49, 13 April 2016 (EDT)
:Simple: they're props, just like Pikmin are. If you clang with a prop, you didn't clang with its owner. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Quiet 22:07, 13 April 2016 (EDT)
::Would swords counts at props too? Because Cloud clanks normally with other things. [[User:Penro|'''Penro''']][[File:PenroDarkPitHead.png|19px]] [[File:PenroZSSHead.png|19px]] 22:15, 13 April 2016 (EDT)
:::There are two main reasons for something to be coded as a prop as opposed to part of the character itself: either it has to move or animate independently of the character, or it is too complex to be part of the character itself. The vast majority of swords do not fit these criteria, and so are simply part of the character and not props. Note however that when talking about priority and clang, it is the hitboxes that matter and not the models - it is entirely possible for an attack to use a prop for the visuals even through the hitbox is part of the character. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] Le Grand Fromage 22:32, 13 April 2016 (EDT)
::::This doesn't change what occurs when a hitbox collides with it, nor what occurs if the character with the prop happens to be within the range of the hitbox. You've done nothing but give it a term I've never heard of before.

:::::I don't really get what you're confused about here. If ZSS jabs an incoming Pikmin aerial, she'll go into rebound upon being outprioritized, but she'll still hit Olimar (if he's in range on the same frame, before the hitbox goes away when rebound starts) because clanging with the Pikmin does nothing to stop the attack from hitting Olimar. If two Bayonettas f-smash each other, the hairfists clang with each other, but they still hit the opponent because clanging with object 1 doesn't stop them from hitting object 2. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Brazen 09:36, 14 April 2016 (EDT)
::::::That's exactly what you removed from the page, minus the correction for the jab being out-prioritized since it actually does hit Olimar. If props collide with each other and both characters are in range of the other prop, both characters will be hit, which is also what I said. So I'm not really sure why you didn't just rename the section, because it is a unique property that, to my knowledge, isn't anywhere else on the wiki. It should still be mentioned on the priority page. [[User:Smashgold347238|<span style="color:#D4AF37">Gold</span>]] [[file:Goldsig.png|20px|link=User talk:Smashgold347238]] 01:24, 15 April 2016 (EDT)

Where did you get that data from? I got it from Kurogane Hammer. I didn't know I was supposed to do the hitbox change like that, but why doesn't the the page have the sourspot anymore in "Hitboxes"? -- [[User:Ethan7|<span style="color:#000f55;font-family:Cursive;font-style:italic">Ethan</span>]][[file:Ethan7sig.png|20px|link=User:Ethan7]]<small>''([[User talk:Ethan7|<span style="color:Blue">Discussion</span>]])''</small> 15:11, 14 April 2016 (EDT)
:I get my data from 1. http://opensa.dantarion.com/s4/mastercore3/ and 2. my own original research. Kurogane Hammer is...well it's a fine starting point, but it's far from perfect. (which isn't to say that mastercore3 is perfect either)
:The reason the late hit doesn't have a hitbox entry is because it's not "make new hitboxes with this data", but instead "change the properties of the existing hitboxes". I'm not sure of a better way to represent this kind of coding (which isn't that rare, and has existed since SSB64).

Bot shenanigans

How feasible is it to use XL to convert [[interwiki:string|string]] into {{s|interwiki|string}}? A lot of pages have these still hanging around, and some (like List of stickers (complete list)) would be egregiously tedious to do manually. Miles (talk) 17:36, 7 December 2015 (EST)

The problem with this is that XL can't tell what's an interwiki link and what's a namespace link because they use the same syntax. I'm not currently sure if there's a way to deal with that without doing one pass for each interwiki prefix (which is probably not a good idea). That said, it may be possible to create a list of pages where we can assume every such link is interwiki, and tell it to only work on that list. Toomai Glittershine ???

Question

Is there a quick way to make a throw template for SSB4 that also includes weight dependence? I'm looking at the file of Diddy Kong's up throw and it appears that not too many parameters are present. Of course there may be additional hits, but those look like normal hitboxes to me. Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk) 10:10, 6 February 2016 (EST)

If you mean the same type of template as used on Mr. Game & Watch (SSBM)/Down throw, then no, there's no quick way to do it. I can (try to) make it the next thing I do in that area though. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Chilled 10:40, 7 February 2016 (EST)

What is the main difference between AngleIcon285.png and AngleIcon285spk.png? Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk) 09:28, 12 February 2016 (EST)

I'm not Toomai, but I think the latter is used for spikes and meteor smashes, or a stronger hit. Penro ...that's all. PenroDarkPitHead.png PenroZSSHead.png 09:39, 12 February 2016 (EST)
That's what I thought too, but according to file usage, power doesn't seem to matter. And spikes don't exist outside of "Melee". Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk) 09:46, 12 February 2016 (EST)

In Melee, angle 285 is a spike (red). In Brawl, angle 285 is a meteor (orange). In SSB4, angle 285 is a meteor, but meteor cancelling doesn't exist (red). Toomai Glittershine ??? The Altruistic 19:36, 12 February 2016 (EST)

"windbox" is an archaic/too-entrenched-to-change term for "hitboxes that don't cause flinching". They can have any effect, though they tend to be Normal.
I know an image exists already for the type, but notice how the Water type and effect have different images; this case should be the same.

Competency chart colors

Hey Toomai what is the code for the color of the B tier for SSB4? SSB4DarkSonicHead.pngSpeed48 15:42, 5 April 2016 (EDT)

ffbf00, ,ffdf7f, and ffefbf I believe. MegaTron1Decepticon.png 16:47, 5 April 2016 (EDT)
To expand on how you can find out yourself: Look at the code of {{SSB4Tiers}}. Note how tier B is coded as {{TierHeaderBlock|c=11|t=3|cs=3|B}}: t=3 and c=11, meaning it's tier 3 of 11 colours. Now go to {{TierColour}} and scroll down to colour set 11 and look at tier 3: ffbf00 border, ffdf7f cell background, and ffefbf header background. Toomai Glittershine ???

360 degrees?

Does this angle even exist? That is a very stupid question, I know, but I still ask because Kurogane Hammer lists the Gunner's up aerial as having that angle among its hitboxes. Proof. --BeepYouSignature.png BeepYou, a user with no grammar at all :v (talk) 16:16, 10 April 2016 (EDT)

A 360 angle could technically exist and would act just like a 0, but in this case I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a 366, not a 360. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Celeritous 09:55, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

Are you still good at crunching numbers?

I've noticed something weird about the random choice in Smash 4. For some reason, when a player (human or computer) is set to random, it's overwhelmingly likely that the character that shows up will have his or her default palette swap, rather than having an equal chance of being any color change like in Brawl. I've noticed a different color for some other characters like Palutena; while she's normally default when picked at random, she's sometimes in her red costume (and that's the only other one that gets picked). Is this a glitch? How are colors decided when random is selected? Blue Ninjakoopa 17:26, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

Admittedly, I'm curious about the matter as well. AidanzapunkSig1.pngAidan, the Wandering Dragon WarriorAidanzapunkSig2.png 17:31, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

Yeah it's pretty evident that SSB4 heavily favours default costumes upon random (which I think is a good idea). I haven't seen a hint of that Palutena behaviour though; all alts are equally (un)likely for me. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Researcher 10:23, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

Tangentially related: "random character" never yields a Mii Fighter, no matter how many you have made on that system. Still bothered by that one myself. Miles (talk) 12:14, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

Low Priority

How is it fundamentally wrong in Smash 4? How do you explain any of the hitbox interactions with Bayonetta's smash attacks, for example? Or Corrin's forward smash? They do not act like any other hitbox, and I've tested them to where they literally lose to jabs when they are too close. They lose every single trade that happens. If that is not low priority, how do you explain it, given what is now missing on the page to explain that kind of interaction? Gold Goldsig.png 19:49, 13 April 2016 (EDT)

Simple: they're props, just like Pikmin are. If you clang with a prop, you didn't clang with its owner. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Quiet 22:07, 13 April 2016 (EDT)
Would swords counts at props too? Because Cloud clanks normally with other things. PenroPenroDarkPitHead.png PenroZSSHead.png 22:15, 13 April 2016 (EDT)
There are two main reasons for something to be coded as a prop as opposed to part of the character itself: either it has to move or animate independently of the character, or it is too complex to be part of the character itself. The vast majority of swords do not fit these criteria, and so are simply part of the character and not props. Note however that when talking about priority and clang, it is the hitboxes that matter and not the models - it is entirely possible for an attack to use a prop for the visuals even through the hitbox is part of the character. Toomai Glittershine ??? Le Grand Fromage 22:32, 13 April 2016 (EDT)
This doesn't change what occurs when a hitbox collides with it, nor what occurs if the character with the prop happens to be within the range of the hitbox. You've done nothing but give it a term I've never heard of before. Gold Goldsig.png 22:43, 13 April 2016 (EDT)
I don't really get what you're confused about here. If ZSS jabs an incoming Pikmin aerial, she'll go into rebound upon being outprioritized, but she'll still hit Olimar (if he's in range on the same frame, before the hitbox goes away when rebound starts) because clanging with the Pikmin does nothing to stop the attack from hitting Olimar. If two Bayonettas f-smash each other, the hairfists clang with each other, but they still hit the opponent because clanging with object 1 doesn't stop them from hitting object 2. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Brazen 09:36, 14 April 2016 (EDT)
That's exactly what you removed from the page, minus the correction for the jab being out-prioritized since it actually does hit Olimar. If props collide with each other and both characters are in range of the other prop, both characters will be hit, which is also what I said. So I'm not really sure why you didn't just rename the section, because it is a unique property that, to my knowledge, isn't anywhere else on the wiki. It should still be mentioned on the priority page. Gold Goldsig.png 01:24, 15 April 2016 (EDT)
I was pretty sure it was already mentioned somewhere in the article that priority cancellation was on a per-object basis, which is why I just removed that section. I'll look harder and add it if not. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Aurum 10:34, 15 April 2016 (EDT)

Toon Link (SSB4)/Up aerial

Where did you get that data from? I got it from Kurogane Hammer. I didn't know I was supposed to do the hitbox change like that, but why doesn't the the page have the sourspot anymore in "Hitboxes"? -- EthanEthan7sig.png(Discussion) 15:11, 14 April 2016 (EDT)

I get my data from 1. http://opensa.dantarion.com/s4/mastercore3/ and 2. my own original research. Kurogane Hammer is...well it's a fine starting point, but it's far from perfect. (which isn't to say that mastercore3 is perfect either)
The reason the late hit doesn't have a hitbox entry is because it's not "make new hitboxes with this data", but instead "change the properties of the existing hitboxes". I'm not sure of a better way to represent this kind of coding (which isn't that rare, and has existed since SSB64). Toomai Glittershine ??? The Incomperable 15:19, 14 April 2016 (EDT)
I see, the move has three hitboxes after looking at this, which either change or are replaced on frame 14. I can't read that code, do you know anywhere that I can learn? Also, after looking at the link, the hitboxes move up a bit, which I don't think the article tells. -- EthanEthan7sig.png(Discussion) 15:36, 14 April 2016 (EDT)
Perhaps I should write an on-wiki guide on how to read the code. The hitboxes don't actually move up, that might be drag or animation making them seem to. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Resolute 15:46, 14 April 2016 (EDT)
What I mean is the hitboxes aren't in the same position throughout a move (they can be, such as moves that last one frame). Take his up smash for example, its hitboxes are obviously not in the same position for every frame. But yeah, a guide would be useful for editors and people who want to interpret the information. -- EthanEthan7sig.png(Discussion) 18:39, 14 April 2016 (EDT)
