Forum:Smash Remix content Part 2

This discussion is in regards to a proposed change on SmashWiki. The discussion must first meet with a consensus before it is implemented.

Seeing as how the prior proposal passed with option 3 (Mod page and character icons), I figured I'd start another proposal for further coverage on Smash Remix.

This proposal if passed would give Remix a status similar to Project M/+ and allow the creation of:

• independent character pages
• tournament pages for Smash Remix-exclusive tournamnents, series, or circuits
• Smash Remix ranking articles
• Smash Remix result tables on player pages
• articles of notable Smash Remix-exclusive players (admittedly not that many).
• a Smash Remix article icon
• Smash Remix majors being listed on the news template

For anyone who might not be aware, results of Smash Remix tournaments are already documented on articles in which events for it are held alongside Smash 64.

The mod was released in June 2019 and since then has seen notable use alongside Smash 64 tournaments. Most Remix brackets tend to nearly mirror the same amount of entrants as the regular 64 bracket. Active scenes have popped up in just about every major Smash 64 region apart from Japan. There have even been a good amount of netplay tournaments as well.

The official Smash Remix team has begun a Smash Remix Tour that intends to essentially act as the game's North American ranking system. A list of tournaments currently included in the tour can be found here. A list of some notable events prior to the announcement of the Tour can be found here. One thing to note might be that Remix has not been officially present at multi-game majors such as Low Tide City or Super Smash Con, however, this seems to be a result of the organizers not being interested in hosting said events whether it be due to the nature of modding itself or lack of resources. (Project M/+ has also been absent)

Some people might argue that the game hasn't eclipsed Smash 64 the same way Project M had previously done with Brawl, however, I'd argue that's not necessarily the point of the modification. Unlike PM/+, Smash Remix keeps the original 64 characters unchanged and continues to keep the same game mechanics and features (besides any that any that the new characters might have). Smash Remix is like a side dish that complements the main feast (Smash 64).

Although I don't believe this is that relevant: For comparison's sake, Project M was released in 2011 and the wiki began supporting content for it in 2013. Señor Mexicano (talk) 19:30, June 18, 2022 (EDT)

Support

1. As per proposal. I don't really see any harm being done from allowing further Remix content to be documented considering how big the mod and it's community has become. Señor Mexicano (talk) 19:30, June 18, 2022 (EDT)
2. Smash Remix is just as popular as the original, and the wiki coverage should do it justice.--Meester Tweester (talk) 19:45, June 18, 2022 (EDT)
3. Smash Remix can only grow further beyond at this point. The mod is promising and popular because it adds brand new extra content to the game instead of changing original stuffs plus there's a dedicated community, netplay or offline. Further documenting Smash Remix can only bring more benefit than harm. NPM Morr!? 02:00, December 1, 2022 (EST)
4. Smash Remix is a mod in the league of PM in its prime content-wise, there is very little reason to not engage in coverage of it. Now is the perfect time. --Plague von Karma 15:21, January 23, 2023 (EST)
5. Smash Remix has really been growing with each consecutive update and as others mentioned, has its own dedicated community in a similar vein to Project M. I'd say that documenting would help expand the wiki to other big mods. Diddy Kongstar 15:54, April 17, 2023 (EDT)
