Forum:Making this wiki more appealing to competitive players

Forums: Index → Watercooler → Making this wiki more appealing to competitive players

As Omega Tyrant has pointed out several times recently, our scope on competitive Smash could definitely use some improvement. There's countless Smasher and tournament articles that need updating, not to mention the incompleteness of our SSB 64 and Melee character articles in this regard. I have created this forum in order to discuss ways of attracting more competitive players, as well as a hub for targetting specific areas for improvement. Mr. Anontalk 18:12, 5 September 2012 (EDT)

We could ask SWF or AiB users who are more knowledgeable about competitive Smash to edit the wiki, or encourage existing users who do know more about the competitive scene to be more active. Air Conditioner Clever text goes here. 18:16, 5 September 2012 (EDT)

Or you could just read and search the internet for the SSB 64 and Melee characters while going through SWF and AiB for info on tournaments. MegaTron1XD 18:23, 5 September 2012 (EDT)

The attribute sections for pretty much all our character pages(except for maybe Wolf) needs revamping, including the brawl page. Another change I've yet to see is incorporating the changes OT suggested here. I'm currently drafting on a major rewrite for the Marth article in Microsoft Word as soon as I finish that, I'll do Falco. Also I'd like to propose we find new data regarding the matchups (both melee and brawl). Both tables are sorely outdated. Hardly anyone believes the matchup between Pikachu and Meta Knight is truly even, and also, the matchup between Jigglypuff and Young Link is now said to be in YL's favor.--Brian^{Don't try me!} 19:14, 5 September 2012 (EDT)

That is part of what I tried to do yesterday. Unfortunately, Smashboards has very little competitive info on SSB 64, as the character forums are pretty much inactive. Furthermore, most internet guides seem to be outdated. Mr. Anontalk 19:52, 5 September 2012 (EDT)
