Talk:Angle indicator

Final Smashes

A question for Toomai: how are the shape of the angle indicator for final smash type attacks decided? As you can see here, Ike's Great Aether has regular indicators for the blows that he deals with his feet and hands, and slash indicators for his sword hits. However, aren't all Final Smashes under the same type? Mr. Anontalk 14:41, 11 December 2011 (EST)

The shape of angle indicators is based on the effect of the hitbox. Great Aether contains hitboxes that use the Normal and Slash effects. The fact it's a Final Smash has no bearing. Toomai Glittershine The Loony 16:02, 11 December 2011 (EST)

Delete

I didn't add the tag, but it's been a while since the tag was put on, so I'll start this.

Strong Delete Just a special effect.Qwerty the lord 23:14, 18 May 2014 (EDT)

Strong support There's no need to have a page for something like this... Berrenta (talk) 15:58, 19 May 2014 (EDT)

I strongly oppose because I don't see any reason to delete the article, as we have articles on things like tumbling. I could see it being merged with knockback or damage, but a full deletion is unnecessary. blue ninjakoopa 00:53, 21 May 2014 (EDT)

I don't think I phrased this correctly. It is a special effect that is dependent on the direction of knockback. Should we have an article on the blue ring in Brawl created when a player bounces on the wall? No. Instead, it's just proper to add a sentence to the page saying that there will be a blue ring around the player when they bounce. As for this effect, I can barely see it over the smoke, so I don't think it deserves to be mentioned. And tumbling actually affects gameplay, so it's not exactly a special effect.

Angle indicators are significant though, because they tell the exact angle at which an attack sends a character (while the smoke trail indicates the angle at which a character is sent flying). I still support a merge, probably with the knockback article. There really isn't a need for the article to be outright deleted, and the blue rings you mentioned could be useful information on the articles we have on walls, floors, and ceilings. blue ninjakoopa 22:59, 22 May 2014 (EDT)

This article is so significant hat it's about a kilobyte of info. About 950 without the delete tag.Qwerty the lord 22:54, 25 May 2014 (EDT)

Amount of info doesn't make an article significant or insignificant. You want it gone for no good reason (at least I haven't seen one yet). blue ninjakoopa 23:22, 25 May 2014 (EDT)

Bringing this back. Well I don't see any difference between the angle a character is launched and the angle in which they are sent flying.Qwerty

Oppose as I honestly believe that the smoke trail does deserve an entire article. --Mr. Guye (talk) 23:42, 27 June 2014 (EDT)

Please don't post in a way that splits my sig in half. Read SW:TALK. And also, we're all in favor of not creating a smoke trail, so it's an argument for whether we should keep this article or not. Now start arguing with my last post if you really believe this deserves a page.Qwerty the lord 14:43, 29 June 2014 (EDT)
