DLC characters

Should we really have an entire row dedicated to DLC characters in the template? DLC is how they're obtained, while the veteran/newcomer rows have nothing at all to do with how they're obtained.

is a rather strange way to lay out this template. Not to mention that there is only one downloadable character right now. My recommendation is to just put (DLC) or something similar next to Mewtwo with him in the veterans row. Dracyoshi (talk) 06:32, 24 October 2014 (EDT)

A (DLC) tag is probably a good idea. If we get more DLC characters in the future, putting "(DLC)" after all of them might get cluttered, so I'd suggest changing it then to a footnote where each character has an asterisk (or cross or whatever) next to their name, with "*DLC" at the bottom of the template.

As it stands, Mewtwo seems to be a one-off case. Should additional DLC characters be announed, I'd advocate a new row for them at the bottom. Otherwise, though, it's rather unnecessary on a template this streamlined. Miles (talk) 20:01, 24 October 2014 (EDT)

You're kidding, right?

Does adding a DLC veterans section really deserve an "absolutely not"? I mean you said in the section above that it might be preferable once we get more; well guess what, WE GOT MORE. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 17:44, 3 April 2015 (EDT)

Let me clarify then: once we have enough "more" that it is similar in size to the newcomer row, maybe. As it stands, it's really not needed in the slightest. Miles (talk) 17:46, 3 April 2015 (EDT)
But as it is right now, there's nothing making it obvious that Mewtwo and Lucas are DLC. And that's something very notable. If we want to present information, we need to present all information possible. Besides, we know there will be at least one more DLC character (the ballot), so that's three. I don't see why it needs to be a certain size; it's still a different category. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 17:48, 3 April 2015 (EDT)
