Just copy and paste the U64 SSBB article's URL

Actually, just look up the U64 SSBB article and type it's URL into the Masterpiece page. Forbidden7Lucas.png PK AWESOME! 22:50, 23 July 2011 (EDT)
I just got it, but thanks for offering the help. ReiDemon (talk) 22:54, 23 July 2011 (EDT)
You're welcome! :) Forbidden7Lucas.png PK AWESOME! 22:59, 23 July 2011 (EDT)

Palette Swap

Sorry...no deleting talk page content, no matter what. Remember that next time. Forbidden7Lucas.png PK AWESOME! 00:17, 24 July 2011 (EDT)

In his case, I think it was alright. He removed his post quickly, after realising his query been answered before, and he removed it before his post was responded to. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 00:21, 24 July 2011 (EDT)
Oh...my bad. Forbidden7Lucas.png PK AWESOME! 00:25, 24 July 2011 (EDT)

Just a heads up

Keep in mind that SmashWiki has a One Revert Rule. If someone reverts your edit, it's best to discuss the edit on the talk page before including it again. I see that the edit in question has been resolved, but I'm just giving you a heads up. Thanks for your contributions so far, and happy future editing :). Mr. Anon (talk) 22:10, 8 August 2011 (EDT)

Undo button

You can also use it to undo any edit that isn't necessary. ..... HD PikachuHeadSSBB.png H 15:34, 9 August 2011 (EDT)

Just sayin. ..... HD PikachuHeadSSBB.png H 15:37, 9 August 2011 (EDT)
...I actually forgot that I could do that. D'oh. ReiDemon 15:41, 9 August 2011 (EDT)

Yo

Just refresh to see the new version of a file. Also, <del> and </del> is the same as <s> and </s> :P --PSIWolf (TCE) 12:29, 10 August 2011 (EDT)

For the former: lol, I did that, and it still showed the same image twice. >_>;;;;
For the latter: I just copied the code from Wikipedia's article on "strikeout" xD. ReiDemon 12:33, 10 August 2011 (EDT)
For the former: Weird. So I once had that the old SmashWiki logo appeared o_O
For the latter: LOL!--PSIWolf (TCE) 13:05, 10 August 2011 (EDT)

Game names...

...must be in italics.--PSIWolf (TCE) 13:04, 11 August 2011 (EDT)

I see. Does it only apply to the Smash games, though, or to any game? The rumors article, for instance, has Resident Evil 4 mentioned in it; would that have to italicised as well? ReiDemon 13:08, 11 August 2011 (EDT)
Any games. I forgot to italicize Resident Evil.--PSIWolf (TCE) 13:09, 11 August 2011 (EDT)

Something

Seeing as how you say you enjoy writing, and are 16 years old, you obviously have a very nice vocabulary. However, some users or guests at Smashwiki may have trouble with your high level of vocabulary. Try to refrain from using difficult vocabulary such as "lackluster". Great job so far though. Also, I may be wrong , seeing as how use of vocabulary is not specified within the rules (from what I remember :|", but I recommend keeping it simple anyways, for the less intelligent (and most likely younger) users.Vincent Tran Get ready for school ^_^ Kirby-1.png 19:27, 24 August 2011 (EDT)

How is lackluster "difficult" vocabulary? Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 19:35, 24 August 2011 (EDT)
I don't know, but I'm just saying that maybe some users may not understand. Besides, we use terms like "poor" much more, such words should be :::simple to understand for a possibly less intelligent user. Look at this from the sight of a ten-year-old or eleven-year-old.Vincent Tran Get ready for school ^_^ Kirby-1.png 19:39, 24 August 2011 (EDT)
Poor is rather generic, and lackluster isn't some highly advanced word that only those with the greatest vocabularies would understand. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 19:45, 24 August 2011 (EDT)

For your hard work

Shiningstar.jpg
Nice work! Your contributions reflect the kind of awesome work we SmashWikidians like to see!
A heck of a lot of consistent, high-quality mainspace editing. What more reason is needed? Miles (talk) 21:24, 24 August 2011 (EDT)






I like your work :D . Can i help with some of the Brawl intros? Zeldasmash (talk) 21:48, 24 August 2011 (EDT)

Thank you, Miles! Now about that promotion...
Zeldasmash: By all means! There's a lot more characters for Brawl, so this ought to speed things up...
For the Brawl intros, the general idea is to make the intros seem a bit more "neutral" in their point of view.
For example, take Ganondorf's page.

"Despite several of his moves being the strongest of their kind in the game (in terms of damage and knockback), Ganondorf is currently last on the tier list. Many factors lead to Ganondorf's poor placement: his very sluggish moves, terrible out of shield options, an average spot dodge, very limited approach options, poor pressure, poor horizontal recovery and predictable vertical recovery, poor mobility, and the fact that L-canceling does not exist in Brawl. As a result, Ganondorf has a very poor metagame and terrible matchups. He has the second lowest tier drop (behind Jigglypuff), descending 28 spaces from 10 out of 26 in Melee to 38 out of all in Brawl."

While this is well-written, it seems to focus too much on the negatives of Ganondorf as a fighter. While he is rock bottom, the entire portion makes it feel as though Ganondorf is completely worthless, and it doesn't say much about his positives. A better version would be:

"Ganondorf holds the distinction of being the last character on the tier list, at the H level and at 38th place. Ganondorf by himself has an above average range, and has very powerful attacks, some of which can act as gimps, most notably his down air. Ganondorf's high weight allows him to survive at high percentages. Ganondorf's grab game, especially when combined with his side special Flame Choke, is also decent. However, Ganondorf is one of the slowest characters in the game, making him very easy to punish, and the removal of L-cancelling makes Ganondorf's aerial approach considerably worse; his lack of a projectile and his sluggishness also limits his ground approach. The addition of a slow, predictable recovery and a bad defensive game brings Ganondorf down even further, allowing many characters to easily outmanouevre him. All of this give Ganondorf the worst matchups in the game; he also holds the distinction of being the only character in all of the Smash series to have absolutely no advantageous or even matchups."

That's what I had in mind: making the intros slightly more "balanced".
Please feel free to alter other characters if you see the need. I've already done all the top tier characters (That is, S through C), and I plan on doing the bottom tiers first, in reverse order. As to avoid possible edit wars, I'd suggest that you go for the middle tiers for now.
Whew, what a mouthful...But I'm pretty sure that's it! Thanks for offering the help, mate. Means a lot to me. ReiDemon 22:20, 24 August 2011 (EDT)
Lol, I wanted to put the Shining Star template here, but then I was away. Anyway, keep up the good work!--PSIWolf (TCE) 06:10, 26 August 2011 (EDT)

I got a Sticker Center pic too.

Talk page posts

Don't ever remove a talk page post posting a complaint again, we don't censor people's complaints. Simply edit it to make it size acceptable. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 23:00, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

I had assumed that no one would care if I had removed his decidedly immature (and destructive) complaint. I do apologise, and I won't do it again in the future. ReiDemon 23:01, 29 August 2011 (EDT)
Immature or not, a complaint is a complaint. Address its claims, and if it uses disruptive text (like Braondondorf's post did), edit it to make the text acceptable. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 23:04, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

When uploading images

Be sure to give them a name representative of the image, rather than leaving them with a nonsensical default name. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 16:52, 5 September 2011 (EDT)

Ok then

How do they continue on boss battles? The requirements are pretty hard but i can tell it wont let me because it wont show me the requirements accordingly to continue.--BrandondorfLemsdadhead.png 22:40, 26 September 2011 (EDT)

To welcome users..

Use {{subst:welcome}}. ..... 1999-2011 FalcoHeadSSBB.png well? 22:58, 9 October 2011 (EDT)

I don't like using the template alone because of the "Please Sign In" part. It strikes me as redundant and unneeded. ReiDemon 23:13, 9 October 2011 (EDT)

Might I suggest...

That you take of the profanities on your userpage? Just because it seems rather hostile. Not saying you have to.Vincent Transcendant Kirby-1.png 00:23, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

A checkmark symbol, for places like yes/no columns on tables.
Done. ReiDemon 00:35, 10 October 2011 (EDT)
Also, you say the article is perfect yet i can clearly see a problem in the quotes you have right under that message box.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Vincent Tran (talkcontribs) 00:43, 11 October 2011 (EDT)
I see no problems in the coding. Which quote specifically? ReiDemon 00:40, 11 October 2011 (EDT)
Might just be my iPhone :| Vincent Transcendant Kirby-1.png 00:43, 11 October 2011 (EDT)

Oh crap

I didn't know you were planning to make Results screen! But maybe you can clean it up if needed, or upload some images for it?--FoxHeadSSBB.png PSIWolf (TCE) 11:46, 11 October 2011 (EDT)

I'm a little too preoccupied in the week to make large scale edits (as I did with a few of the Melee fighters), nor can I easily upload images from Smash 64 right now. I'll be available almost all day near the end of the month, though, so I'll try to see what I can do then.
That said, I planned on dividing the article into three sections, for each of the three games; in addition to this, there would be further sections in these sections (Yo dawg...), for each of the different results screens (Melee, for instance, would have one section for one player modes and another for multiplayer modes).
Images shouldn't be too hard to find, but if you need help on that, I can potentially provide something.
That's all. ReiDemon 19:45, 11 October 2011 (EDT)

Option

I don't know if you may have "User:DarthMarth" as option as it can confuse others.--FoxHeadSSBB.png PSIWolf (TCE) 12:22, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

In hindsight, it actually isn't that funny. Probably going to remove it... ReiDemon 12:23, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

Hi There!

In an effort to get to know you better, would you like to brawl? If not, it's fine, another day would be great. My brawl code is on my page. What's yours? Pikmin Brawler OlimarHeadSSBB.png Go Steve the Pikmin! 17:04, 16 October 2011 (EDT)
