Still, combining the forces of Wicarus, Palutenapedia and Kid Icarus Wikia would give you a lot more dedicated editors all working toward the same goal. 

This.  You'll probably be most successful if you pool your efforts.

I haven't gotten any. ?_?

would be cool

Everybody likes Smash, lol.  It's the lowest common denonimator among Nintendo fans.

I almost quit Zelda games because I started with Zelda II.  Trufax.  (Now I appreciate Zelda a great deal more, but again, like Tina said, the rabid fandom is more than a little scary.)

I have shiny Suicune from GameStop! Now I can get Zoroark! I can't wait

I have five of each!

overkill much

Or it's the realization that

RGBY: GB
GSC: GBC
RSE/FRLG: GBA
DPP/HGSS, BW: DS

and that advancing the series to the 3DS is the next logical step

I think the heaviest editing was fixing the typo in Mario 64.

It that really all?

Needs to work on his Warlock Punch.

Man...! I have a feeling 2011 will be another blast for Nintendo. A Kirby DS game, and now another Wii Kirby game?! It makes Kirby's Epic Yarn look like it pulled off a SMB2.

What, that Epic yarn will be made into a Black sheep in terms of style?

Kirby's Epic Yarn:Kirby::Yoshi's Story:Yoshi

Snowman.  Clearly.

And have you compared the functionalities of those moves?  The Blasters have incredibly different applications because of Falco's causing flinching and Fox's not; Fox Illusion sends opponents upwards where Falco Phantasm sends them downwards; and their Reflectors, despite both reflecting, are very different in timing and usage as well.

And don't forget regular movesets: Falco's neutral combo, forward smash, up smash, forward air, down air, etc. are all vastly different as well.

I think that Fox should be the only character from the Star Fox series unless they can make more original skillsets. It might just be me, but I find Wolf, Fox and Falco a bit samey.

That said, Falco has appeared in two games in a row now, so he's probably safe, and I'd prefer it if they could just make Falco a bit different to Fox rather than full-out removing him. Sorta like what they did with Luigi.

And you don't think they've already done that?  Playstyle-wise, they're vastly different; Falco's significantly higher-tiered than Fox for a reason -- their metagames have evolved completely differently.

Ness:

Neutral Special: Lifeup- Lowers percent.
[...]
Lucas:

Neutral Special: Lifeup- Same as Ness.
[...]
Kumatora:

Down Special: PK Ground- Makes an earthquake that buries nearby opponents.

All of these are very overpowered.  No moves in the Smash series can restore HP on their own; only with very specific conditions (such as PSI Magnet, and then it has to be absorbing an energy-based projectile attack).

Does the Falcon Punch ever even appear in F-Zero? The only ones I've played are X and a rented GX.

No, but it (in)famously appeared in what's considered a semi-canon anime series.

Looks interesting...

Oh dear god that's horrifying.  In any case, cases like that should be marked by the usage of Template:Jargon, which I just made.

Shouldn't it sort into a jargon-specific subcategory of the main cleanup category?

Also, the Smasher: namespace seems half-baked, literally. Why did the individual players get moved out of the mainspace, but the "crew", tournament, etc articles didn't? Either the Smasher: namespace should encompass them too (which would be my preferred suggestion), or there should be another namespace or namespaces for them.

That namespace is a leftover from SmashWiki's original days as an independent wiki with Smashboards.   I think right now we'd be better off jettisoning the whole thing and starting it from scratch to ensure its quality than spending the incredible amounts of time to determine who's really notable and who isn't.  (I think crew pages should, with few exceptions, be deleted altogether, and tournament articles are similarly questionable.)

I entirely agree (and if anyone DISagrees, point them at http://www.ssbwiki.com/Category:Smasher_stubs ).

I'm less-than-sure there'd be consensus for it, unfortunately, but the first [non-controversial] step would be to purge broken and unused redirects from the mainspace to the Smasher: namespace anyway, to help get [[Special:Allpages]] under some sort of control.

I've just put the twelve broken mainspace->Smasher:space redirects up for speedy deletion. Hunting down unused main->Smasher: redirects will take longer, but I'd be willing to help look if you'd be willing to delete them.

Why would you need to delete those?  I assume they're there for searching reasons.

Blame the Melee tournament community for locking these in as the community-accepted terms. :/

I suppose that goes back to the apparent reason why T.W. wanted a "basic smashwiki" - is SmashWiki intended exclusively for the tournament community? If it isn't, then just saying "there's a glossary" (IS there even one?) isn't enough - any reader fluent in the English language should be able to basically follow every page and glean useful information from it without reference to any other page, with everything obvious enough for that much from the context. Whereas lots of SmashWiki is impenetrable to the casual reader without a whole bunch of prior knowledge (for a particularly bad example, see http://www.ssbwiki.com/Zelda_%28SSBM%29#Combos - I didn't put the cleanup tag on it, but I fully agree with the sentiment), and that's the definition of "too much jargon".

I am asking for opinions, lol.  It would help to know if SmashWiki's talking nonsensical jargon in most people's eyes.

There is a fair amount of that. It's why I've spent a lot of time trying to replace terms like "nair" and "dair", which I was completely lost by at first - "Neutral aerial" and "down aerial" aren't the best of terms, but at least there's SOME hope of figuring them out from context. Or to put it another way - if I asked someone who plays SSBB casually what they thought of Link's "fair" attack, not in a million years would they realise it meant an aerial attack in the direction the character is facing without further explanation or many guesses.

There really is too much of that. "Tilt" isn't a particuarly intuitive name either, even with modifiers...

likes repetitiveness, redundancy, and repeptitiveness.
