 @OT I can agree with you this only affects a few players. That said the info box isn't particularly informative in those player instances. For example, I think it's a pretty big stretch to say rokki clearly has a preference for Isabelle and sheik. Maybe a very recent and minor one but nothing particularly significant. Some players like Nurse, Rokki over Rizeasu definitely maintain a larger roster and play off vibes more than anything else.

 :The character consistency is established enough looking at their results that putting those particular characters as their mains isn't wrong, and if you want to insist that there are other characters they use in near equal measure against meaningful opponents, then add those characters to the mains too. Also for any more details needed about their character usage, it should be explained in the article, rather than trying to make the infobox more complex for such a nonissue by adding a completely unnecessary parameter that doesn't do any better at explaining their character usage. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 16:40, April 8, 2023 (EDT)
+::Im undecided on whether or not theres enough warrant to change the info box, because of the same reasons you cite. This only affects a small number of player. The only reason I would consider a change is I do think it's misleading to a reader Some players just don't exhibit consistency and are prone to going an entirely another character at another tournament. Take rokki. Isabelle often appears as a top 2 used character and then there will be several events where it's the 5th or 7th most used character at that regional (or not even used). Smash data probably isn't even very useful with him, as hes prone to going any number of characters at locals that would distort the character usage data (assuming it's reported at all). I think over the last couple months Pit was his most used character which I don't believe has shown up any regionals yet that I'm aware of. A second and smaller issue, is sometimes we don't really have a good sense of who the player is using if they don't talk about it in twitter and don't appear in a lot of recent vods. I think Nurse is a good example of that. All that said to say, I do agree with you on your point about us maybe just needing to do a better job on the narrative. Maybe in these circumstances specify that the player uses a variety of characters and some of the most frequent are x y and z instead of saying x player mains x character.  [[User:Wiifitkid|Wiifitkid]] ([[User talk:Wiifitkid|talk]]) 16:56, April 8, 2023 (EDT)
