Wavedashing

Now that Kazuya is in smash, we can no longer ignore that the wavedash originated in tekken, not melee. With that said, should we move wavedash in to general terms section?The Other Jared (talk) 16:06, June 22, 2021 (EDT)

The Tekken wavedash and the Smash wavedash don't have too much in common. It should stay in the Smash section of the glossary with maybe a short mention of Kazuya once it is explained how Tekken crouch dashes were implemented in Smash. Rdrfc (talk) 17:16, June 22, 2021 (EDT)

Fanbase-Centric Glossary

The first two thing that came to my mind are "Anime Swordsman" and "Cereal Mascot". Despite of their nature. these deserve to be mentioned. XeroSchnee20 (talk) 16:15, June 29, 2023 (EDT)

Much of the terms throughout the glossary are already fan terms, so there's no need for a separate "fanbase-centric" section. As for those two terms; "Anime Swordsman" has little applicable purposes that makes it worth defining here, something like "Swordie" is a much more applicable term, and I don't even know what you mean by "Cereal Mascot", that's absolutely not a term I see at all used within a Smash context.

Cereal Mascot is a term to refer forgotten cartoony characters from old video games (mostly platformers like Crash or Banjo) with cult followings. it was some sort of weird insult towards people who wanted Banjo-Kazooie. Nowadays, the slang was replaced with "Scrimblo Bimblo the Loveable Scrunko" in which translated to "Any video game character with a cartoony design. Old or new, Famous or Niche, animal or not, it doesn't matter what genre came from". It came from a Twitter post (which also spawned the "Popular McRPGguy").

"Cereal Mascot is a term to refer forgotten cartoony characters from old video games (mostly platformers like Crash or Banjo) with cult followings."

That is absolutely not any sort of Smash-relevant term, and putting shit like this in the glossary would bloat it to hell with useless "terminology". Omega Tyrant 18:47, June 29, 2023 (EDT)
