→Gender and alternate characters

For Brawl's you just go to the [[Alternate costume (SSBB)|respective article]]. I am confused also what need is there to have a list like that, at what point would one need to know each character who has an alt? We could make an article just for that I suppose, but it simply wouldn't have enough content to justify its own existence. If smash ever comes to the point where literally every character is like this, then I think having such a list would be valid but until then, it's just not. <span style="font-family:Algerian;font-size:10pt;background:#000;border:outset #083 2px;padding:1px 3px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">Serpent</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|12px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0">King</span>]]'''</span> 14:07, 11 February 2019 (EST) | For Brawl's you just go to the [[Alternate costume (SSBB)|respective article]].

:8 characters have alternate costumes that turn them into different individuals. That’s enough content, especially considering how (and forgive me for bringing up Tekken again) Panda and Eddie are treated in Tekken 5 pretty much the exact same way as the 8 characters I’ve been bringing up all the time in-game. Yet, Tekken’s fans acknowledge those characters as fully playable, despite not having their own spot on the selection screen. Why would smash be any exception aside from the fact that the concept was introduced recently.

::They're not really different individuals at all, and changing your definition to fit whatever criticism others levy doesn't really help the argument at all. Within the context of Fire Emblem, male and female Corrin are literally the same person and their gender has zero impact on the game; they're extensions of the player and aren't "separate characters" at all. Peach's colour change to "Daisy" in Melee didn't merit its own table, and neither does this. All of the content contained in such a table is redundant, as the character pages themselves and [[Alternate costume (SSBU)]] already contain the same and more information. Your point about chromosomes is particularly absurd because these are fictional characters that don't have chromosomes and you'd have no way to measure them even if they are. You continue to say "what's the harm?", to which I would respond it has next to no value to start with, further clutters this page, and is redundant by virtue of other pages. – [[User:Emmett|<span style="color:#000000">Emmett</span>]] 14:37, 11 February 2019 (EST) | |||
