Now that 1) updates have been done for a year, 2) Ultimate is just one day from surpassing Smash 4's competitive lifespan counting only Wii U, and 3) offline tournaments have not only been the norm longer than online ones, but have lasted longer than they did pre-COVID, I think we can revive this issue. (Fun fact: Ultimate Palutena has recently surpassed Melee Fox as the character with the most tournament results on this Wiki [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Palutena_(SSBU)&namespace=102&limit=1300], [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Fox_(SSBM)&namespace=102&limit=1300].) As for Smash 4, if two DLC characters can have more players, I think it's only fair that an initial-release character gets the same treatment. <span style="font-family:Formata Regular">[[User:RickTommy|<span style="color:red">Rick</span>]][[User talk:RickTommy|<span style="color:green">Tommy</span>]]</span> 20:25, December 21, 2022 (EST)

:The problem for ''Ultimate'' right now is that these sections, while "done" for a year, are still rather outdated/not completely cleaned out. Many sections still have players that are only notable at a regional level, or at least had a couple of good appearances nationally. {{SSBU|Robin}} is an egregious example of this. It currently sits at the max amount of possible players in these sections, yet out of the players on this list, the only players that I believe should definitely stay are Angel (strong results online plus some good results and wins offline), Jul (best Robin pre-pandemic), Ke-ya (one of the best Robins pre-pandemic), and Synergy (imo the current best Robin). That's 6 that I'd consider we should look at and/or clean out, and with Robin being a relatively unpopular character throughout ''Ultimate''{{'}}s competitive lifespan, there's no reason for this section to be at the max amount of players. Palutena itself still needs some players who debatably could be removed (eg Compact and marisa) while the only player that I think has an argument to be added into the section is Chase. At least for ''Ultimate'', there really is not a strong case for any of these sections to have a limit over 10.
