From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Hi it's Mumbo Jumbo II. I was temporarily banned on Wikia for encouraging another wiki to merge, so I'll ask here. I'm currently playing Banjo-Tooie, which I find a lot of fun. I know I asked before, but can you please fork the Banjo-Kazooie Wiki? Other Nintendo wikis, like this one, were forked so why not B-K? 73.11.240.169 18:37, 15 January 2015 (EST)
- The "other Nintendo wikis" you speak of all successfully forked for two main (and related) reasons:
- They had manpower to back up the effort required. The BK wiki probably doesn't have any "active users" as of right now.
- They focus on series that were receiving new games at the time (or at least were still relevant via Smash Bros, in the case of F-Zero and such). We haven't had a BK game in 7 years; we haven't had a good BK game in 12-15 years.
- There's an argument that such a fork should be done during a dead time, but that doesn't change how I don't believe I have the resources for it. I'm not shutting down the idea; I just don't think we could get it done at this time. Toomai Glittershine

- Sorry that I butt in, but isn't the Banjo-Kazooie franchise a third party? Smashworker101 (talk) 20:27, 15 January 2015 (EST)
- I think it's a second party franchise (formerly Nintendo, now Microsoft). I believe the instructions to moving (to ShoutWiki, at least) are right here. 73.11.240.169 20:45, 15 January 2015 (EST)
- Smashworker, user talk pages can be used for general questions or as a form of contact (which is exactly what IP is doing). Also, yes, Banjo-Kazooie is third-party to Nintendo (formerly second-party) Laikue (talk | contribs) 21:04, 15 January 2015 (EST)
- Then why did 73.11.240.169 say its a second party franchise if it clearly is a third party franchise? And I'll answer 73.11.240.169's question, like all third party wikis, Banjo Kazooie can't be forked with the NIWA wikis because its not part of Nintendo. So this probably wraps everything up I guess.

- I pretty much meant a free hosting alternative, not for it to join NIWA. 73.11.240.169 20:47, 16 January 2015 (EST)
Just a Suggestion
I'd recommend putting the protection back on this page, because, if I know the Smash fandom (and I do), there's gonna be a shit ton of speculation on which one of these two are gonna be Mewtwo's Final Smash (assuming that Mega Evolution will even be Mewtwo's Final Smash). You wouldn't need to do it now, nor do you even have to in the first place; it's just a thought to keep in mind.

tech chase options.
Do you have data that can compare the vulnerability frames between a tech in place versus a frame perfect regular getup? The second 1 seems actually really hard to punish most of the time and I suspect people think it's bad only because they can't get up frame perfectly. --BrianDon't try me!

- Did tests (with Marth, assuming all characters/animations are reasonably similar):
- Standing tech: intangible 1-20, animation length 26 (so shield comes out on 27)
- No tech:
- Landing: animation length 26 (so perfect input is between 26 and 27)
- Standing getup: intangible 1-22, animation length 30 (so shield comes out on 31)
- Total: intangible 27-48, animation length 56 (so shield comes out on 57)
- So compared to the standing tech (and not counting the initial landing), the standing getup has +2 intangibility but +4 ending lag. Toomai Glittershine The Jiggy 17:11, 16 January 2015 (EST)
Username change
I've just come back to the wiki after a long time... can you please change my username to MightyKing98?? I don't want to be known as Crazymasterhand98 anymore.

- Post here again in a few days just to ensure you want it. Toomai Glittershine The Undirigible 11:21, 17 January 2015 (EST)
- OK, I decidedly want that. So, what about it? Crazymasterhand98 20:20, 18 January 2015 (EST)

Hitbox / frame strip subpage creation
Hey, I’m just wondering how you are able to create this so quickly and accurately. Do you use a script to convert them from your hitbox collection or the character files (Pl**.dat) to wiki format? I want to fill in what’s left, but I think my process (manual copying from your hitbox collection and the character frame data threads on smashboards / testing on my own) is quite inefficient. Kadano talk 08:59, 23 January 2015 (EST)
- Man I wish I had a script. Nope, I go through the same manual stuff as you do (except I don't reference any SmashBoards threads at all, for no particular reason really). My process tends to be something like:
- Copy basic setup from related page.
- Add hitbox data from streams. (The easy part.)
- Add timing data from streams.
- If it's SSB64 or SSBM, use debug mode to verify timing data. (I can't run SSBB in Dolphin no matter what I do. Maybe I have something faulty. I sometimes end up going to SmashBoards for them.)
- If it's a special move, reference the OpenSA wiki for ints/floats.

- Thanks! You’re the best. What does “streams” refer to, though? Kadano talk 09:41, 23 January 2015 (EST)
- I use the term "stream" to mean "series of moveset events", because it's more generic than "action"/"subaction"/"subroutine". Toomai Glittershine The Sphere 09:44, 23 January 2015 (EST)
Ness's amiibo
The wording was what threw me off. It said "exact" when it should have said "based on". My apologies. BlueStreak Speeds By 10:34, 23 January 2015 (EST)
What the heck happened to my screen?
The regular logo is not there, I see a part of a Dr. Wily castle on the link to my username, and on the very right bottom corner there is a picture of Mario and Samus. Do you happen to know what happened, is it just me or is this intentional? Dots (talk)

- It's all fixed now but I was wondering if that was a glitch or something. Dots (talk) The Metal Gear REX 13:25, 23 January 2015 (EST)
Just a small question...
I'm just making a few changes to my userpage (reflecting a new main I've chosen), and...is there any possible way I can have my old username back (Aidanzapunk)? I mean, "BlueStreak" doesn't really sound...fitting for Lucario. BlueStreak Speeds By 09:10, 26 January 2015 (EST)
- I'm...not sure really. I mean, there's no restrictions on renaming people to vacated names, but putting someone in a name they previously held might do something strange. I'll see if I can find any evidence as to what would happen. Toomai Glittershine The Chronicler 09:49, 26 January 2015 (EST)
- It worked perfectly fine over here, if that helps at all. BlueStreak Speeds By 09:51, 26 January 2015 (EST)
