User talk:Toomai/Archive 12: Difference between revisions

:That being said, I'm beginning to wonder why that table exists at all when we have [[List of Super Smash Bros. series characters|this one]], and I'm thinking of merging them together in some way.

::The size difference is fairly obvious to my eyes, but I have to agree. The only thing the "Playable characters" table offers that the other table doesn't is a predesigned order to the characters and series (which is to day, the Mario series is first, or Pikachu is the first in the Pokémon series). Furthermore, the Playable characters table is very UX-inconsistent for a number of reasons: non-standard spacing between rows (notice the one-character universes), series-based ordering (highlighting the characters as Universe elements, when the table is supposed to highlight them as standalone entities), and it just looks ugly in general. With a little work, the main table can become quite good. The only thing it needs is a prefixed character ordering. My suggestion would be ordering them in order of first appearance. The [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/ChrFrameLayout.html old] Smash Bros. site is still up and the Melee [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/0222/character.html site] even has the dates of each characters revelation, so, that shouldn't be hard even for older characters. --[[Ash_Pokemaster|Ash_Pokemaster]] <small>([[User_talk:Ash_Pokemaster|talk]])</small> 17:15, 14 April 2014 (EDT)
