I find this necessary to bring up again because I'm strongly opposed to the usage of "Smash 64" and "Smash 4" as shorthands, though I'm aware there's [[User talk:Omega Tyrant#Similar short forms|some]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant#Alright no.|dispute]] on the subject.

:SSB is a terrible shorthand because it overlaps with the series name. Use Smash 64. Smash 64, Melee, and Brawl should be used both in articles and in titles except in pages like [[Marth (SSBB)]] which rely on the use of templates. For consistency again, the shorthand should be Smash 4 rather than SSB4. <span style="font-family:Triforce, sans-serif;">'''[[User:Dr. Pain 99|<font color=#008000>D<font color=#008019>o<font color=#008031>c<font color=#008049>t<font color=#008062>o<font color=#008080>rP</font>a</font>i</font>n</font>9</font>9</font>]]'''</span> 19:27, 10 August 2013 (EDT) | :SSB is a terrible shorthand because it overlaps with the series name.

::I should point out that anyone who thinks we're using things like "SSBM" in titles just for template reasons is misguided. The templates would work just fine regardless of the abbreviations involved, we'd just have to move a thousand pages and alter a dozen templates if we wanted to change it. | |||
::More importantly, I am of the opinion that "Smash 64" and "Smash 4" are fucking asinine because they are non-consecutive cuts. Using "SSB" for SSB64 is perfectly fine because we never use the "SSB" abbreviation in reference to the series; we always use "the Smash Bros. series" or similar.
