Move to "Custom Move Sets"

Oppose. It's more commonly spelt "moveset" and not "move set", the way they present it it doesn't look like an official name to me, and it just doesn't make sense as a page name. Toomai Glittershine The Frivolous 17:58, 15 May 2014 (EDT)

Neutral. Eh, Sakurai only barely revealed anything about this during the Direct. Either name is fine for now; we'll probably hear more about this at E3, so it's most likely only a month delay. Miles (talk) 19:03, 15 May 2014 (EDT)

Neutral. We should probably remove the tag until Smash4 comes out. Then we could move it to whatever it's called in-game.75.85.64.155 19:18, 15 May 2014 (EDT)

Oppose: This is a much simpler name. Plus it's kinda pointless. Only move it if it's confirmed as something besides this. Nutta Butta (talk) 19:31, 15 May 2014 (EDT)

Agree The Japanese name looks more like an official one, and I figure that the English one probably is if the Japanese one is. In addition, doesnt it make sense to use a name used by an official source when no official name has been confirmed nor any unofficial name become so commonly used that it is essentially standard? I know SW:OFFICIAL, but it's not like Custom Move Sets is an "unknown term", or much different from Moveset Customization. ♡FirstaLasto♥ 19:44, 15 May 2014 (EDT)

I don't understand, do you want to move it there because you want the page title to be a translation of the official Japanese term... which it already is? - Ceci n’est pas un Smiddle. 14:03, 17 May 2014 (EDT)

What? The original Japanese refers specifically to special moves. Neither the current or suggested page title match that, so I don't know what you're talking about. ♡FirstaLasto♥ 15:46, 17 May 2014 (EDT)

Agree per FirstaLasto Laikue (talk) 10:01, 16 May 2014 (EDT)

Emphatically Disagree. I mean, Sakurai said it in the Direct, but it's not official... anything can change. Also, SmashWiki is not official. Generally, people will refer to it as... well, either/or (I'd say Moveset Customization is the Noun, though.. And, yeah, Move Set looks... messy, to say the least. ScoreCounter 13:01, 17 May 2014 (EDT)

Oppose I prefer the title the way it is now. Besides, "move sets" looks awkward, to be honest. Berrenta (talk) 13:10, 17 May 2014 (EDT)

Oppose "Move Set" is inconsistent, and the majority of pages like this refer to the subject in a similar way to this one. Scr7(talk · contribs) 14:05, 17 May 2014 (EDT)

I think it's pretty clear what most of us want, so let's just end this.Qwerty the amazing 22:05, 17 May 2014 (EDT)

Move to "Character customization"

It's been confirmed that there's more than just moveset customization, so I believe a move is appropriate. Red (talk) 15:32, 11 June 2014 (EDT)

I just went through with it, as it's a more accurate title. Red (talk) 15:40, 11 June 2014 (EDT)

A bit on Pit and DK

DK was seen at E3 in the Treehouse to also have an alternate up-b move. Also, it has not been confirmed that Pit's arrows are slower with more control. How do we know that it doesn't automatically go in loop-da-loops? Speculation is not allowed on Smash Wiki. 72.105.73.188 15:32, 13 July 2014 (EDT)

The one you mentioned for Pit is already listed, as it was displayed in the April 8 Smash Direct. For DK, that needs investigation. Berrenta (talk) 15:35, 13 July 2014 (EDT)

Um, he was referring to the fact that the information we have wasn't necessarily confirmed on Pit. I don't know about that, I have very little info on it. Nutta Butta (talk) 15:40, 13 July 2014 (EDT)

I'm not a "he." I'm actually a she. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.141.44.196 (talk • contribs) 08:37, July 14, 2014 (CDT)

Oh. Sorry. Also, remember to sign with ~~~~ Nutta Butta (talk) 09:42, 14 July 2014 (EDT)

She does have a point though. We shouldn't be speculative and say it's this when it might be that. Notice I say might. The thing is we aren't sure yet, and thus, we shouldn't jump to conclusions about this and keep it light. Stan the Man (talk) 10:52, 14 July 2014 (EDT)

Alright, I made a little change. Stan the Man (talk) 10:54, 14 July 2014 (EDT)

List of special move variants

Is this needed? I think we should just have the information on the special move pages themselves. - Ceci n’est pas un Smiddle. 11:53, 14 July 2014 (EDT)

We probably should move the information to those pages at a later point. Ultimately, what should end up on this page is an explanation of customization plus a table of special move variant names, with the detail on those variants on appropriate pages. This isn't urgent, though, and could easily wait for the Japanese release. Miles (talk) 11:55, 14 July 2014 (EDT)

Some mention of it should be here. The general info shouldn't. Nutta Butta (talk) 11:56, 14 July 2014 (EDT)

Amiibo Figures

I just watched the amiibo trailer to double-check, and nowhere did Bill Trinen say that amiibo figures would be used to transfer customized characters between games, just that the amiibo can be customized themselves. He also doesn't even say that amiibo will even be compatible with the 3DS version, although it is implied. Furthermore, the 3DS peripheral doesn't come out until next year, long after amiibo and both versions of Smash 4 come out, meaning players would have to wait until next year to be able to transfer customizations if they so desired. I think until further information in given, we should wait to say how this function works. ScizorSteelix (talk) 11:08, 17 July 2014 (EDT)

This is not an argument against amiibo being used for this function; it is an observation that there are probably more ways to do it. ScizorSteelix (talk) 14:53, 17 July 2014 (EDT)

Homing Missile

When at SDCC, I was playing the 3DS demo of Smash run, and I saw a custom move for Luigi, side special it said, called homing missile. I can't prove it, but I promise you I'm telling the truth. 75.141.44.196 14:28, 5 August 2014 (EDT)

I really wish you could prove it, because we need a source. SmashWiki's just like that. Qwerty (talk) 14:36, 5 August 2014 (EDT)

Yeah, very sorry, but my phone's battery was dead, so I couldn't take photo evidence... 75.141.44.196 14:43, 5 August 2014 (EDT)

I saw it too! It came with a Peach special, but I don't remember what it was... 72.105.6.36 09:17, 9 August 2014 (EDT)

Robin's Special Moves

Here is proof for all the special moves I have found for Robin--all of them but his second side special are here. Akvo (talk) 10:28, 15 September 2014 (EDT)

Organization

The way this article is put together is a bit of a hodgepodge. Locating a specific special move for a specific fighter is an incredible hassle, and the manner in which the table is organized is to blame. I believe that abandoning the table and using the equal sign headlines would make it much easier to find information. I can reorganize it in this manner, I just would like to know if anyone opposes this. Toymakers Creation (talk) 14:51, 16 September 2014 (EDT)

I think abandoning the list on this page altogether is the best solution. Then we don't have duplicate info on both this page and the special move pages. Similarly, we'd make a "Powers" page that has the list of powers, an "Equipment" page that has the list of equipment, and so on. Toomai Glittershine The Jiggy 14:58, 16 September 2014 (EDT)

I could begin putting the known customization options onto the specific Special Moves pages, under a "Customization" headline. Once the information has been put into its proper place, then the list can be scrapped, yes? Toymakers Creation (talk) 15:04, 16 September 2014 (EDT)

That kind of idea was the plan, yes. Toomai Glittershine The Spectrum 15:06, 16 September 2014 (EDT)

Well, I know what I'm gonna do today. Toymakers Creation (talk) 15:11, 16 September 2014 (EDT)

The problem with an "equipment" page is that equipment is largely randomly generated. We'd be better off listing possible passive effects, equipment classes (shoes, swords, gyroids, pokemon-only items), and their names. Akvo (talk) 03:16, 17 September 2014 (EDT)

That would be what we do; list the possible equipment names, along with maybe the possible range of their effects. Toomai Glittershine El Pollo 09:39, 17 September 2014 (EDT)

Inaccurate info?

There's conflicting information with some other pages. Specifically, I've run into a problem where Peach (SSB4) states that custom moves do different things than what's listed here, such as saying that Vegetable can be customized into Boomerang Veggie, while this page says it can be customized into Light Veggie.
