Autoconfirm

Is it possible to have autoconfirm status early? There's some images i want to replace. Thanks Conker the Squirrel (talk) 22:50, 31 July 2018 (EDT)

No, it is not possible to get it early. You have to have 7 days and 10 edits. Awesomelink234, the Super Cool Sonic Fan Leave a message if needed 23:02, 31 July 2018 (EDT)
I don't know for sure, but probably not. What are the images? If you upload them on a generic site like Imgur and send me the links, I can upload them for you. TheNuttyOne 22:52, 31 July 2018 (EDT)
A few years ago i linked one from the talk of File:Pokemon Stadium Beta.png, and nobody noticed. Conker the Squirrel (talk) 22:55, 31 July 2018 (EDT)

So...

You know by me telling you to "step away", I was not telling your to simply give up on your point, right? I was merely noticing you were starting to get overly upset and was suggesting you take a break before you got yourself in trouble. This really isn't something worth leaving over.

I know. (actually I kind of missed you telling me step away at all but if I had seen it I would have known) I'm not leaving because of Birdo specifically -- trust me, I'd argue that point for the next six months on any other website if that's what it took. I'm leaving because of the general toxic atmosphere -- even if I'm wrong in my little monologue over there and it's not something other users are feeling, just something I've set myself up for by being a hardheaded ass, it's not a healthy environment for me to be in anymore. I'm not going to be able to grow and change as a person when every time I turn around I see someone do something that makes me want to slap them upside the head with a two-by-four. It's why I left the first time, too, and clearly nothing has changed -- neither in my attitude nor anyone else's -- since then. TheNuttyOne 20:55, 8 August 2018 (EDT)

Whoops

I somehow missed the "DLC" part in that Joker trivia point. Thanks for catching that ^^; Alex95 (talk) 11:17, March 12, 2019 (EDT)

Tether vs Extended Grabs

To answer the question you asked after editing the Grab page, a tether grab is now identified with the presence of a grab aerial (ZAir) and usually a grabbox located on the character but moving with a secondary model. Luigi's grab fits both so I'll be reverting your edits. Hitbox Enthusiast Zeck (talk) 23:50, July 12, 2020 (EDT)

Where exactly does this definition come from? It seems like it would be more logical to limit to just a grabbox moving alongside a secondary model (which, of course, would still fit Luigi, but would also fit Olimar, Link and Samus in SSB64, and Pac-Man) -- this is, at least, noticeably different from other "extended grabs" (extended grab is long-range but still performed entirely by the character, tether grab utilizes secondary object). However, even so, the name "tether grab" refers to the idea of "tethering" -- i.e., connecting to an object -- so it's a confusing and archaic name regardless. Is this official terminology or at least incredibly widespread across the community? Or just something the wiki has arbitrarily decided on in order to maintain an invented term that is no longer accurate? TheNuttyOne 00:30, July 13, 2020 (EDT)
The Grab aerial is more important than the second part. However I can explain Olimar because the Pikmin's grabboxes are on their models, not on Olimar's. I've done visuals for most hitboxes and all tether grabs have that property of having the grabbox on the throw bone and without the second model (grappling beam, Poltergust G-00, etc.), it just doesn't move. As for the grab aerial criteria, they just didn't exist in Smash 64, that's the reason they're considered extended. I'm not gonna lie though, Luigi's new grab did challenge the definition of a tether grab due to its inability to grab ledges. In the end, it cemented that the grab aerial is the main difference between tether and extended. The name tether grab was obviously chosen based on tether recoveries and the term is too common and popular to change so it's better to just tweak the meaning without changing the name. since Luigi's grab acts like a tether grab outside of the recovery thing. I can explain other grabs as well should you not understand completely. Hitbox Enthusiast Zeck (talk) 00:46, July 13, 2020 (EDT)

Lucina alternate costumes

I made an account to point it out

But the 4th Lucina costume seems to take heavier inspiration from Olivia than Cordelia, and the hair color matches Olivia more than Cordelia’s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ChromLowell (talkcontribs) 03:39, July 22, 2020 (EDT)

I think the big thing is that Olivia's outfit is black and white while Cordelia's is that pinkish red and white. All of her costumes seem to have more muted colors than the actual Awakening characters (compare the Nowi, Tiki, and Lissa costumes, which I don't think anyone would argue are the actual inspirations), so that's probably what's causing her hair to appear pinker than Cordelia's red.
Regardless, if you want to push the issue, I recommend you go to the corresponding talk page, as there's not really anything I can do about it singlehandedly. TheNuttyOne 15:01, July 22, 2020 (EDT)

Spiky-eared Pichu

I have major reason to believe that Spiky-eared Pichu is not an important alt in Smash:

  1. As I mentioned already, there is no Spiky-eared Pichu spirit. Other alternate characters (examples: Alph, Koopalings, gendered characters) and special alternate costumes (examples: Builder/Wedding Mario, Pikachu Libre, Crafted Yoshi) have them, and Spiky-eared Pichu does not.
    As an aside, in the process of writing this, I found that, even if we do count it as a "special costume", it isn't the only one to not have a spirit.
  2. Each character uses an alternate coloring/costume for the profile icons in Ultimate; some characters get just the costumes, some characters have just a recolor, some characters have a costume and a recolor of their default, and some characters have their costume and a recolor for both. Pichu's alternate icon is the Team Skull bandana. Sure, given the fact that she has spiky ears that would be unseen in the profile icon (and conveniently, the bandana is one alt before the ears), that may be why that alt wasn't chosen, but that really doesn't change anything, and it's not our job to speculate.
  3. It wasn't given any publicity. Yes, neither was Crafted Yoshi, but Yoshi seems to notoriously get the short end of the stick for some reason.

It's not a special alt. It's a nice touch that they put in, and it may be special in Pokémon, but it's not special in Smash. Aidan, the Rurouni 00:37, August 15, 2020 (EDT)

Dude, none of this reasoning makes any sense. You literally proved your own argument incorrect for all but one.
  1. Spiky-eared Pichu is not the only "special" alt without a spirit. Therefore, spirits do not determine "special" alts.
    I would also like to point out that both of these cases are easily explained: all Pokemon spirits use Pokemon Channel art, which Spiky-eared Pichu does not have (the art we use is from the anime). Similarly, there is no official art of Link in the Tunic of the Wild.
  2. Spiky-eared Pichu is not the only "special" alt to not be publicized. Therefore, being publicized does not determine "special" alts.
  3. That leaves the absence of a profile icon, but those are equally inconsistent. Notably, Meta Knight is given three icons (which is usually only the case for characters with "special" alts) for his Galacta Knight alt, so if profile icons are indicative of "special" alts, we should add Galacta Knight to Meta Knight's infobox. Yet Dark Meta Knight does not get the same treatment, despite being an equal change to his design. There are also inconsistencies with some "special" alts being given their own second icon for a color swap (both Pokemon Trainers, both Robins, and Bayonetta 2) but others aren't (the Wii Fit Trainers, Wario, and Bayonetta 1). There is clearly little-to-no logic in which alts are given an icon.
So if these three representations of alts all fail to consistently define "special" alts, it seems that the game itself fails to consistently define this. Therefore, we cannot use the game as a basis. Then it falls on us to create our own definition. I think it's hard to argue with the following:
  1. An alt is special if it changes the character's gender. (Pokemon Trainer, Wii Fit Trainer, Robin, Corrin, Byleth, Inkling, and Villager; we can exclude Pikachu's female alt that isn't Libre since it also changes her default color and is clearly a normal alt in every other way)
  2. An alt is special if it significantly changes the character's outfit or design in a way that represents their appearance in another media or form, and if the character also possesses "traditional" color-switching alts. (This allows us to count characters like Mario, Link, Bayonetta, and Cloud without also having to count every individual alt of Villager, Inkling, or the Pokemon.)
  3. An alt is special if it changes the fighter into a separate character. (Olimar, Bowser Jr., Hero, Pikachu, Ridley, and, yes, Pichu.)
As for another potential argument you may think of, the fact that Pikachu and Pichu's names do not change like Alph and the Koopalings is irrelevant because Pikachu Libre and Spiky-eared Pichu are not the characters actual names. Within their home games, they are consistently referred to as just Pichu or Pikachu, in a spiky-eared or cosplay/libre variant. Also, Hero's name doesn't change, so. We can, however, use this argument for alts like Claus, Dark Link, and Dark Meta Knight, since these characters do have different names which the game does not acknowledge, indicating that the Dark Link alt is just Link in dark colors, Dark Meta Knight is just Meta Knight with a different mask, Claus is just Lucas with hair dye, whatever.
Bottom line: Spiky-eared Pichu is a unique character. There is no reason she does not deserve the same treatment as Pikachu Libre, Alph, the Koopalings, Meta Ridley, and the Heroes. TheNuttyOne 14:14, August 15, 2020 (EDT)
