Forum:P+ content
|
This discussion is in regards to a proposed change on SmashWiki. The discussion must first meet with a consensus before it is implemented. |
Following the development of Project+, we find ourselves in need of answers for how we should handle it. There are a number of different methods we could go about doing this, and it is the aim of this proposal to cover all of it.
P+ is the spiritual successor to PM, though unofficially it seems to aim to finish what the PMDT couldn't. It's the result of years of PM’s modding and competitive scenes. P+ was made by community leaders, top players, and established modders. It features updated balance, stages, songs, and costumes, and it's built on top of the Legacy TE version of PM. You can find out more at the Project Plus homepage.
Most of the competitive scene has been running P+ in competitive events since its initial release early last year. Since then every major region including US, Canada, South America, and Japan have switched to P+. Though there are a few notable exceptions to this: in some parts of Europe like the Netherlands there are thriving PM 3.6 scenes. However for just about everywhere else, P+ is the tournament standard. P+ 1.05b has had 3 majors run on it The Encore, Blacklisted, and Low Tier City 7. Every major going forward would run version 2.0, though Coronavirus has postponed it. A 200 man netplay bracket featuring most of pmrank and several top 20 melee players had already happened. Since 2.0s initial release its gotten play and video coverage from players like Leffen, Mang0, Plup, PPMD, Zain, Junebug and more. For the majority of the world its the final version of PM.

This discussion will last for a decent amount of time in order to give everyone a voice here, this is to appeal to the Smash community at large, not just SmashWiki editors or the Project M/+ community. So to begin:
Part 1: Do we cover this at all?
If this section gets support, the following will occur:
- Project + will get its own article (the PM article will be untouched, aside from mentioning P+)
- An article icon will be added for use on event articles (and P+ specific articles should that be decided on) only.
If you oppose this part of the proposal, please do not vote on the rest of it.

Part 2: What do we do about the character articles
There are a few ways we could do this. Please pick one of the following options, please do not vote oppose on any of these. If you have an idea for an alternate option, please discuss it in comments.
Make sections for Project + on the existing Project M character articles
We would also make an article for Knuckles. This also raises the question "do we rename the articles to reflect P+" (In other words, Mario (PM) or Mario (P+)). Please include incite on this if you vote here.
