Talk:List of Super Smash Bros. series bosses

Merge False Character and the Fighting Whatever Teams here

This talk page proposal has already been settled. Please do not edit any of the sections in the proposal. If you wish to discuss the article, do so in a new header below the proposal.

Merge both 6-0-2-1
I neglected to put this on the previous omnibus Smash Bros. proposal mainly because I forgot we actually had a separate page for False Characters, so this can be considered an addendum to that one (and it'll help enact it since again, I merely forgot to include it the first time). This proposal is to include those on this page instead, and also to move the Fighting Polygon/Wireframe/Alloy/Mii Teams (or "Small Fry Enemy Corps") here from where they currently are, which is under "Battlefield" on List of stages debuting in Super Smash Bros., which I always found to be a bit odd of a merge. They function as a wolfpack boss, at least from my point of view, so it makes sense to include them here as well.

Proposer: Doc von Schmeltwick (talk)

Support

1. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) - Per
2. Hewer (talk) A more logical merge, per proposal. Also, "False Character" is conjectural so it shouldn't be capitalised, this would be a good opportunity to fix that.
3. Ahemtoday (talk) Per proposal.
4. ThePowerPlayer (talk) This makes sense.
5. Super Mario RPG (talk) Per proposer.
6. Nintendo101 (talk) Per proposal.

Merge Fighting deblahblah Teams only

1. Hewer (talk) Second option since several of the false characters are Mario characters (Bowser, Peach, Diddy Kong).
2. Axii (talk) Per my reasoning in the comments (and for the same reason they weren't merged last time)

Leave them as-is

1. Salmancer (talk) This puts the teams' role in certain modes above their role in other modes. I'm more inclined to say "bunch of enemies mainly used in a score attack mode that sometimes are a boss encounter" than "boss encounter that is more often used as a score attack mode". (Apparently the Alloys don't even qualify, they don't appear in Brawl Classic.)

Comments

I would like to add that the False Characters were specifically removed from one of Smash trimming proposals because a good portion of them were Mario characters. I still believe they should be covered separately. Axii (talk) 13:02, November 26, 2024 (EST)

Regarding several False characters being Mario-based

Sorry for not responding while the proposal was still going, but the same can be said for the Fighting Polygons, which also have "evil purple moveset doppelgangers" to the Mario characters. Just more abstracted. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:55, December 2, 2024 (EST)
