Representation of names of character

well somebody like the full name of some characters, like Samus Aran and so on. But since the titles in the games just denote them as Samus, Fox, I think we should stick to the names used in the character selections. The name Princess Peach seems unfit for the page, And you definitely wouldn't call Zamus Zero Suit Samus Aran ^_^ So its a bit better if just we leave the full names to the detail discriptioins~

Agree ??

Non-Playable Characters in Brawl

As only the ATs and the Pokeballs are confirmed as non-playable characters, shouldn't the others in there not be added until we have complete confirmation? There's still a lot of speculation going on with them, esecially the AC characters, and although we have evidence that they may not be playable, it is by no means confirmed.

spike

alright I didnt want to go to all of their pages but after some recearch I found that all down aerials have some sorta spikeing propretys and I thought that I would go through after hearing from some others (the only one that I found that didnt have spike props was Link cause his dair doesnt do anything like one)

Character Artwork

I was going through the Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee character articles, and noticed, they don't have official artwork. I have ALL the character artwork from both Super Smash Bros. and the sequel, so, I can upload them. However, in case those other Images are there for a reason, I wanted to check here first if it was OK. - Pokemon DP

I think all that artwork would be great in the fighter articles to use in the templates. The other images are there to show how they actually look in gameplay, which can be pretty different from the artwork (like Melee Bowser), so it'd make sense to move them all down lower in each article so that there's two images per fighter page. Erik the Appreciator 13:46, September 13, 2007 (EDT)

I finished uploading all the Character Artwork. Er, but, I don't know where to put the other Images you already have on those articles, so I'll leave it up to you on what to do with those other Images. I also have all the Super Smash Bros. artwork of the items as well. However, I don't have the Super Smash Bros. Melee item artwork yet. - Pokemon DP

Hidden Characters

I know anything is possible, but if I know Nintendo, they won't reveal hidden characters until the game is out. In other words, the characters they're revealing will probably be starter characters. I mean, they haven't mentioned Snake ever since they said he'd be hidden.

--ShadowZeroKaras 00:26, September 15, 2007 (EDT)

article talk pages aren't for general discussion. FyreNWater 02:27, September 15, 2007 (EDT)

I meant, that we should mark the characters in Brawl that have been reveled on the site, except for Snake, as starters, until proven otherwise. And If they we're starters in the last two games, they're guaranteed as starters again. As you probably noticed, Nintendo is not one for removing previous starter characters from thier roster, but they do add characters instead.

--ShadowZeroKaras 02:42, September 15, 2007 (EDT)

It still pointless speculation. It does not belong on the articles. - Pokemon DP

The Bokoblin from the 2nd E3 video is missing on this page. Chozoboy 10:15, September 18, 2007 (EDT)

@ Magiciandude: [1]

"#251-260: Sakurai will make Snake (and all other guest, i.e. 3rd party, characters) into an unlockable character. Sakurai will also eventually reveal all the secret characters (most likely what he did when melee was released: give details on a single starting character every week until release, then after release, give details on one secret character every week until they've all been done)." - EPX2 11:55, October 13, 2007 (EDT)

Next 3rd Party?

If there is going to be another 3rd party character, who will he/she be?

I think Bomberman is the best recruit. Hudson's affiliations with the Mario Party series and the fact that Bomberman has been featured with Wario in Wario Blast will increase his chances of joining. Cyrus Falcon 22:32, November 28, 2007 (EST)

I don't know, but remember: talk pages for articles aren't really meant for general discussion of the game. You have a whole set of forums for that. :P User:EPX2/sig 19:34, November 29, 2007 (EST)

Melee Non-playable characters.

Goomba, Koopa Troopa, Koopa Paratroopa, Like Like, Octorok, ReDead, Topi, and Polar Bear should be off the non-playable characters list because they are just item enemies and don't have % Boxes like the other non-playable characters. Besides, Brawl's Subspace Emissary will have a ton of enemies like them and I highly doubt we'll put them in here. So can you please consider of giving them a new page?

Wolf?

Non-playable charictors

I removed The Acient Minister from the list of non-playble charictors, as he has been confirmed to be the one playable ROB.

Removed characters

Personally, I think it's unnecessary and there's too many unverified claims to go along with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnAnon (talk • contribs)

i agree. i started taking out obviously fake ones, but i realized that most have no backing at all. there are a few that have evidence (like Pra & Mai, Snake in SSBM, etc.) that have coding or dropped plans, but everything else is arguable. i think they need to be removed altogether.

go there and tell them kingdom come sent you we will be having an official clan wars soon. there might be time for a season if we get enough members to join.

thank you for your time.

What's With the Crosses?

Why did we suddenly get rid of bolding unlockable characters and start putting crosses next to them? I've always hated those, and bolding is better.

Giga Bowser

I just saw the chart saying that Giga bowser was playable in Melee. King KirbyD (talk) 16:04, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

It's called using an Action Replay. MegaTron1XD 18:44, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

Ending Images

I noticed with all the character articles in Melee only Pichu, Young Link, Roy, Dr. Mario, and Mewtwo have Ending Images. Why not everyone have ending images, the First 12 did in their SSB64 articles. And I don't think any Brawl characters have Ending Images in their articles. I'd be a nice touch —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.247.37.38 (talk • contribs) 16:30, April 18 2012 (EDT)

SSB 4 3DS vs Wii-U

Sakurai has confirmed that the roster for both games will be identical. We might as well remove the different columns for redundancy. Mr. Anontalk 22:33, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

"The total number of characters is the same as the Wii U version,".

Dedede intended for Melee?

FlameMaster added that Dedede was intended for Melee, which I remember hearing about before, though I don't know if it's actually true. As such, can someone provide an official source or other hard evidence that supports Dedede having been intended for Melee? Or is this just another one of those rumors like Peach/Pit/Meowth in Smash 64? Omega Tyrant 15:00, 23 December 2013 (EST)

Bump. Omega Tyrant 11:11, 26 December 2013 (EST)

Excessive notes

We don't need notes about who was intended for certain games in their development or which characters didn't exist yet on this page. This information is covered in more appropriate places on the wiki, but here it's just unnecessary clutter in what should be a very streamlined chart. Miles (talk) 13:19, 26 December 2013 (EST)

This is most certainly an appropriate place for the information; the chart is to show a quick visualisation of character's playable status in each game, and information about them being intended to be playable is most certainly relevant to that. It additionally puts it in one place of who were intended to be in each game (when it is otherwise scattered across multiple pages). And all it adds is a word underneath an icon, the chart remains "very streamlined" with it. Omega Tyrant 20:30, 26 December 2013 (EST)

I think "intended" can be relevant, but I don't think "in development" or "nonexistent" are. We don't need to make the distinction between "character that could have been in" and "character that didn't exist at the time". Toomai Glittershine The Brazen 21:03, 26 December 2013 (EST)

Yeah I'm borderline on those and won't argue for them to be on the chart. Omega Tyrant 21:22, 26 December 2013 (EST)

But do we need the word intended? As text, it stands out from those head icons and you can read about the characters being intended in their general articles. Don't think we really need behind the scenes info. SeanWheeler (talk) 18:44, 12 January 2014 (EST)

Snake

Wasn't it confirmed somewhere that Kojima desperately wanted Snake to be in Melee, but Sakurai left him out due to time constraints? Wouldn't that make it plausible for Snake to be listed as "intended" under Melee?

According to the Snake article, that's an unconfirmed rumour, but if it has been confirmed somewhere then youre right. ♡FirstaLasto♥ 18:43, 24 February 2014 (EST)

Villager

Considering that Sakurai essentially confirmed that Villager was going to be Brawl, shouldn't he be marked for 'Intended' for Brawl? - The12thGripper (talk) 20:42, 11 March 2014 (EDT)

There's a difference between "considered in planning stages" and "seriously intended before other issues caused them to get cut". Omega Tyrant 20:49, 11 March 2014 (EDT)

Ivysaur, Squirtle

Why are Ivysaur and Squirtle at the page? Charizard is okay, but the Pokémon Trainer is on the page, so what is the reason for Squirtle and Ivysaur at the page?

Did you not see the asterisks next to all 3 of their names? If you scroll, you will clearly see "*As part of Pokémon Trainer." There's no reason to change that. PokemonMasterJamal3 (talk) 04:13, 9 April 2014 (EDT)

Dr. Mario

Dr. Mario was found in the unused data for Brawl as well. Why do Mewtwo and Roy receive special notice as intended for Brawl yet Dr. Mario is left unmentioned? (71.106.48.155 19:52, 21 April 2014 (EDT))

You know what, I don't think "intended characters" are notable here. That's only notable for trivia pages. Otherwise we'd be putting asterisks everywhere. SeanWheeler (talk) 20:08, 21 April 2014 (EDT)

@IP: Dr. Mario doesn't have the other unused data Mewtwo and Roy have.

@Sean: Don't ignore previous talk page conversations and go against stuff already agreed to, and don't exaggerate, there are clearly not "asterisks everywhere", nor is there any problem with the asterisks themselves. Omega Tyrant 10:29, 22 April 2014 (EDT)

@Tyranitar: Literally the only thing Mewtwo and Roy have over Dr. Mario is:

-A victory theme file. Though considering file snd_bgm_Z40 is missing in the data while Z39 is Roy and Z41 is Toon Link, that would mean the missing Z40 file is Dr. Mario due to the Instance Slot Data. Also, Wolf, who is actually a functioning character in the final release, is missing his victory theme file as well, which would be Z44 given the Instance Slot Data.

-A Wii Remote character select sound, though only Mewtwo has one, not Roy. 71.106.48.155 18:28, 25 April 2014 (EDT)

That is a significant amount of more data, especially when everyone's but MK's victory theme got scrapped. Additionally with Doc, considering he was a straight clone of Mario and literally Mario in doctor garb, there's a very strong possibility that he was just imported data or was intended to be an alt costume. With Doc, I don't think we can say he was likely intended, when he lacks what Mewtwo and Roy have, while having so many potential answers about why he has that one empty file. Omega Tyrant 19:51, 25 April 2014 (EDT)

Again, Wolf is missing a file for a victory theme as well. On that stance, Dr. Mario shouldn't be brushed off simply because his is missing.

Also, what you just said is nothing but speculation formulated from no evidence whatsoever other than personal viewpoint of the character. On top of that, it is highly illogical. For what purpose would Sakurai have to simply "import" Melee data for Dr. Mario and not import any data from Pichu or Young Link if the data wasn't to be SERIOUSLY used? And if Dr. Mario was meant to just be a costume, WHY would Dr. Mario have his own character file and Instance Slot Data (http://opensa.dantarion.com/wiki/Instance_Slots)? Wario doesn't have separate character files for his two outfits, and it doesn't take a separate character file for any aesthetic changes between costumes as Project: M shows.

Furthermore, Sakurai expressed disliking of the concept of Dr. Mario being a costume before Melee's release; for what reason would he make Dr. Mario a costume with absolutely no differences from Mario other than aesthetics in the following game after already incorporating Dr. Mario as a separate character with his gameplay changes? Because he was a "straight up clone"? So was Falco, and that didn't stop him. Oh, but Falco's not "literally Fox" like Dr. Mario is "literally Mario"? And that's supposed to play into why he wouldn't come back, when Sakurai brought in Toon Link and had Toon Zelda/Sheik in the plans, who are/would have been straight up clones (the ONLY reason for Toon Link having some different moves being because his legs are too short for kicks) AND "literally Link and Zelda/Sheik" in an alternate state? Give me a break. 72.87.198.105 16:33, 29 April 2014 (EDT)

I think I'd have to agree with the IP. There isn't any evidence that Dr. Mario was planned on being a costume. Pretty much everything he said sums up my opinion. ChuckNorris 17:22, 29 April 2014 (EDT)
