Talk:Blaster (Fox)

Merge

This was taken from a different talk page as it was said the topic/conversation is better suited here. The points listed are taken from said conversion that was almost a month ago. Wolff (talk) 23:41, April 23, 2019 (EDT)

Blasters

Series: Star Fox

User(s): Fox, Falco, and Wolf.

Among the reasons stated in the previous conversation to Merge: Same Name, Same Origin.

Among the reasons stated in the previous conversation to Split: Works differently.

Note: Currently, the only moves to function the same with different names are Luigi's and Rosalina's Final Smashes in Ultimate. However, the reason for the name change was aesthetic. (Ultimate changed the appearance of what they used for their FS)

Note 2: Those are also Final Smashes, not Special moves.

Aside from what has already been listed above, what other reasons could there be to split or merge them? Wolff (talk) 23:41, April 23, 2019 (EDT)

It been about a week. If no one appears to oppose the notion, should I just merge them? Wolff (talk) 21:24, April 28, 2019 (EDT)

Merge fox and Falco lasers

Keep Wolf’s as separate page Thegameandwatch (talk) 15:00, May 1, 2019 (EDT)

But why not merge Wolf's as well? There's not much on Wolf's Blaster that would really warrant separation from Fox's and Falco's. If its differences, all three pages already list differences from each Blaster, probably because its the same move used by three different characters. Wolff (talk) 18:27, May 1, 2019 (EDT)

Wolf’s blaster has a different model, different looking lasers, and a completely different animation. Falco’s Blaster was Fox’s in the first game. I personally think they should be separate, but I can understand the mentality of merging Falco’s but not Wolf’s. Lou Cena (talk) 19:13, May 1, 2019 (EDT)

But models, lasers, and animations are all just aesthetics. All they change is how the move looks, not works. Wolff (talk) 20:14, May 1, 2019 (EDT)

Doesn't Wolf's lasers fire a lot more slower and deal more damage, though? The change between his blaster's and Fox's/Falco's is a lot more bigger than the one between Fox's and Falco's. Crazy456Rhino (talk) 09:23, May 7, 2019 (EDT)

The differences between wolf and fox's blaster is about the same kind of differences between Mario and Luigi's Fireball (which i may note do share a page) different looks and athsetics, as well as differenet properties, but overall look and act pretty similar still and have the same name. Overall, despite having different properties, they are overall still similar enough to be deserving of the merge, especially since they are all 3 from the same series.

There is also a draft of what the merged blasters page would look like (can be found at User:Xtra3678/Blaster), and the current draft keeps literally all of the wolf information on wolfs page, in its own seperate heading, keeping all the current information and not messing up anything. It could even be improved in order to show how it is still a very different projectile from the other 2 starfox charecters, however in its current state there should be no problems with the move being "too different to share a page" because it clearly shows off its differences in the draft page.XtraTalk Edits 10:41, May 7, 2019 (EDT)
