Talk:Reclusa

I think we should use Reclusa's In-game artwork for the infobox

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.

I think we should use the in-game artwork of Reclusa over the current screenshot.
Here is how I think it should look:

Reclusa
In-game artwork of Reclusa from when Shun talks about Reclusa's backstory
First appearance	Mario & Luigi: Brothership (2024)

Here is how it currently is:

Reclusa
Reclusa's appearance in-game
First appearance	Mario & Luigi: Brothership (2024)

Elder Princess Shroob's page currently uses in-game artwork, as there is no official artwork on any Nintendo website for her.

Reclusa
In-game artwork of the Elder Princess Shroob's battle with Princess Peach
Species	Shroob
First appearance	Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (2005)
Latest appearance	Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey (cameo) (2018)

Reclusa and the Elder Shroob are both similar in that neither were featured in the promotional materials and are revealed to be the main villains late game. I think my edit is not only more in-line with the Elder Shroob page, it is my opinion that it makes the page look nicer. Nightwicked Bowser (talk) thinks the current screenshot is better, so I say we put it to a vote and let people vote on it.

Support

1. Polterpup (talk) Per proposal

Oppose

1. Technetium (talk) Elder Princess Shroob's art shows her entire body clearly, while Reclusa's art doesn't.
2. Nightwicked Bowser (talk) As I said, the lighting and coloring are not great in the artwork and also not fully accurate to Reclusa's main depiction, whereas the Elder Princess Shroob artwork is.
3. Sparks (talk) Per all. The lighting is the issue in my opinion.

Comments

Does this need a proposal? Couldn't we have just discussed this first? Not every discussion has to become a proposal. Technetium (talk) 17:32, November 19, 2024 (EST)

Personally I was thinking a render of the ripped model, using a pose and angle from the game (the animations can be ripped too so that wouldn't even need to be recreated) is the way to go. I already have a render ready to go but if this is a contentious discussion I'll wait on it. I think that's better than a screenshot because it's a transparent image of the character. -- 07:25, November 20, 2024 (EST)

I wouldn't be opposed to using that model. Nightwicked Bowser 07:55, November 20, 2024 (EST)

Agreed. Technetium (talk) 08:15, November 20, 2024 (EST)

Me three! Sparks (talk) 08:19, November 20, 2024 (EST)

Me four. I think that model looks good. Polterpup (talk) 10:58, November 20, 2024 (EST)

Do you prefer it over the in-game artwork? Technetium (talk) 12:02, November 20, 2024 (EST)

The render at least shows more detail of Reclusa's body without the extra lighting. Let's use it. --Zootalo (talk) 14:28, November 20, 2024 (EST)

Since there is some agreement to use Fawfulthegreat64's render even from the proposer, I'm thinking we should just cancel this proposal and use that. Nightwicked Bowser 15:08, November 20, 2024 (EST)

Sounds good to me. We can use Fawful 64's render. How exactly do I cancel a proposal? I've hardly done any propsals before and the proposal instructions page says I can cancel it as long as 6 days haven't passed since the proposal. Polterpup (talk) 22:02, November 20, 2024 (EST)

To cancel it, simply replace the "TPP" template with "settled TPP", and then below that add the proposal outcome template with "cancelled". If you need an example for the code, look at the talk page proposal archive - anything in pink was cancelled by the proposer, so you can copy the templates from that. Or I could just add it for you, maybe - what do you prefer? Technetium (talk) 22:33, November 20, 2024 (EST)

Alright, thanks for the discussion everyone. Fawful64, feel free to add the model to the infobox whenever it's done. Polterpup (talk) 00:02, November 21, 2024 (EST)

You probably can't fail the final falling sequence

To test if the claim that not landing the finishing blow in time causes a Game Over, I revisited the final boss. I made it to the final part where you're falling and need to repeatedly hit Reclusa, and did nothing for entire minutes, and nothing changed. I do not think it's possible to fail.
