new melee tier list

self explanatory

Pardon... what?

Alright, to address my latest edit to the news, the reason I changed the date for the Smash service discontinuation is explained in the edit description - received a notice from Nintendo on June 2 that the service would be discontinued at the end of the month, not that it was already discontinued on May 30th.

Now, to address the "June 12th" news that was up there: I hardly think that this glitch, of which I have the highest doubts, is news-worthy. What other glitches are posted in the news for being found? None. Sure, a glitch that makes Master Hand playable would probably be pretty cool and maybe even major, but I just can't believe that after we've played this game for eight years, this "glitch," which could just as easily be an age-old hack, suddenly shows up and makes Master Hand, of all characters, playable? Please, people. We've played this game to death; there's not gonna randomly be a glitch that makes Master Hand playable when we've already been playing as Master Hand with Action Replay codes for years. Nonetheless, if this glitch seems plausible enough when I read about it, I may try it out for myself.

Alright, alright; it seems that this glitch really does exist - but it has since November, so it's hardly new - the root of the word "news" in the first place - anymore. So my editing it out stands, whether people have just recently paid attention to it or not.

Perhaps I'll try this glitch out with a friend at some point. Sounds fun.

Thank you, and good night. Teamrocketspy621 (talk) 01:27, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

I point everyone who disagrees in the direction of the DOJO!!, on which this notice recently appeared: As of June 30th, 2009, the current service that accepts user-generated snapshots, stage designs, and replay data will no longer be available. Please note, however, that we will continue to distribute such data after that date. I've added it to the news template (it's better to have a direct quote from Nintendo (I substituted the word "Nintendo" for "we")). PenguinofDeath 08:07, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia Featured Article

Brawl is today's Featured Article on English Wikipedia (Oct. 12, 2009). Not really sure if it deserves a spot in the news, seeing how small an effect it will have on the community. The Dark Muse (talk) 01:54, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Should this

be unlocked? Malake256 (talk) 01:18, 13 December 2010 (EST)

Clarification? I'm assuming you're saying this page should be unprotected, though this page isn't protected. Omega Tyrant 01:22, 13 December 2010 (EST)

I meant it like "Should this template really be unlocked?" As in, shouldn't the template be locked? From experience, I suggest cascading protection on main page. Unless you're perfectly alright with regular users posting news. Malake256 (talk) 01:31, 13 December 2010 (EST)

Well, I really see no use for protecting this page. It is a not a common target for vandalism (in fact, the past 50 edits contained no vandalism, in a time frame that stretches over a year), and it is very probably that news about a new tier list or the results of a national tournament are known by an IP and included by them on here before an admin or user does. So, I'm against protecting this template as of now. Omega Tyrant 02:25, 13 December 2010 (EST)

Project M

Is actually kinda noteworthy, at least in hacking circles. There's also a hefty article about it on AiB. Miles (talk) 20:09, 8 February 2011 (EST)

I'm not sure. We never had news about the releases of Brawl +, Balanced Brawl, nor Brawl Minus. Also, it's just the demo that been released. Perhaps when the full version comes out we can mention it in our news. Though if we're to do that, we will have to do that for when the complete version of Brawl Minus comes out as well (along with any additional versions of Brawl + and Balanced Brawl).

I don't think we should put this kind of stuff in the news at all, because there's always the question of how big/well-known/popular/etc something has to be to be considered notable, which always leads to discussion over whether thing X is notable enough.

I think this is the most important and most expected brawl hack, also, it took years on his development, but the newer versoins should not be in the news. Lex out (talk) 23:30, 8 February 2011 (EST)
