Assist Trophy

Come to think about it, they're very similar to Pokeballs. Should We mention that?-- Aipom --

Two things. 1:We should probably mention that it's like Pokeball with wider variety. 2:Should we have a template of Assist Trophies (possibly Poke Balls, too).--Toa Waluigi 09:08, 2 July 2007 (EDT)

We don't have an article on every Pokemon, yet we're getting an article for every Assist Trophy character... I guess the Assist Trophy template is plausible. -- Booster

I think the Assist Trophy articles should just be merged into a single article, I mean, they really don't seem any different then Pokemon. -- Sir Grodus

True that, merging.Knife (talk) 18:19, 14 July 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, merging sounds like a good idea My Bloody Valentine

If all the Assist Trophy articles are merged here, maybe we could make some sort of table, having they're names, effects, an image and, if possible, rarerity; something similar to this Bowser#Alter-egos, but more expansive. -- Sir Grodus

Or maybe more like the Pokemon article.Knife (talk) 21:51, 14 July 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, that's a reasonable idea: Wait for the game to come out! -Dodo

Yeah, that could be done. -- Sir Grodus

Both Samurai Goro and Dr. Wright have trophies in Melee. Should we post their info somewhere here? Dodo

I vote for Aisst Trophies and all Pokemon getting their own articles. THAT IS MY OPINION KILL ME IF YOU WANT Paper Jorge, the one who gives paper cuts.

I think so too, but I'm not gonna fight the majority. -Dodo

Dodo: Then again every Pokemon in Melee has a Trophy too, but we didn't list them. Maybe we should stick every Trophy description on the Trophy page.
PJ: Yeah, any reasons backing your opinion?

Well, Mr. I-don't-sign, that is my opinion. They're characters like Redead and Like Likes. I don't see why not have aritlces for them. Paper Jorge, the one who gives paper cuts.

We are not Smashwiki. So, we do not need seperate articles for the Assist Trophy or Pokemon. Additionally, that's what I suggested, but, putting Trophy Bios on the actual Trophy page would be messy. My Bloody Valentine

I think they should be seperate, they each do a unique effect. ^Plumber

So do Pokemon. -- Sir Grodus

Well then, here's an idea for the trophies; Make a seperate page for the descriptions. -Ye Olde Dodo

That sounds good. My Bloody Valentine

Let's wait and see how many Assist Trophies are actually used. There will most likely be more Assist Trophies than Pokemon, but let's leave them all on one page for now. We can't give too much focus to the crossover series, especially one that isn't released yet.Knife (talk) 00:21, 16 July 2007 (EDT)

Oh, come on. I don't want to unmerge later. And I was going to give each Pokemon its own article. ^Plumber

OK, here is my opinion. Do not make seperate articles. It won't work, cos' most of the info will not be from the Marioverse. I also completely agree with Knife. My Bloody Valentine

We should have a poll on this issue. And the decision can be changed when the game has been released. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 06:47, 16 July 2007 (EDT)

Good idea. My Bloody Valentine

Poll

NOTE: The result of this poll is temporary. A new decision can be made when the game has been released. This poll is Closed.

Create Articles for Assist Trophy Characters

5. Caith_Sith - This is too old, but well... Assist Trophy are characters, or at least "special moves", and affect the gameplay, so in my opinion, that characters needs an separate article... for example, all Final Smash moves are in one article and separate... i think this is the right way... (yeah, my english isn't good, sorry xD).--Caith Sith 21:22, 11 October 2007 (EDT)

Yes, we need to decide now. It can't be that action for both solutions is taken. There has to be a unique policy. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 11:13, 16 July 2007 (EDT)

I feel that they should get seperate articles. (Yes, I signed with my full username.) -Dodo

I think that both the Assist Trophies and Pokemon are worthy of seperate articles. This isn't Wikipedia, which has a super strict "importance policy". Sure, we have an importance policy of our own, but if you read it go down to the "Penalties" section, you'll find, in bold text: Also, there are no article limits for any area of focus. - Booster.

Then maybe you should vote...Knife (talk) 17:20, 16 July 2007 (EDT)

Uh, lemme get this straight. The opposed won, and we still seperated the articles? -DODO

OK, Now THAT was stupid. C'MON, opposed won, and you people STILL made the articles? I am bringing this to Main Page, where we will get the real Results. My Bloody Valentine

Hey, don't blame me. I just spectated.

dodo.

Wha? Oh, sorry, I wasn't pointing that at you, I was pointing that quote to whoever made those articles. Sorry if you felt I was yelling at you. My Bloody Valentine

Can be this "poll" re-open?

Hi?

Im still waiting for an answer :)--Caith Sith 06:33, 18 October 2007 (EDT)

I don't think so. Read the notice at the top. It says it was only temporary and is now closed. My Bloody Valentine

Weird Glitch

Why won't {{SSB Item Infobox}} work on this page?Knife (talk) 00:39, 21 July 2007 (EDT)

Next time you copy a template, make sure you know how it works. The default width was 220px, but the max image width is 179px, so you have to define {{{width}}} → 179 to get the right-sized image. Wa _T^C_@^Y 00:45, 21 July 2007 (EDT)

KirbySeries

should we add Category:Kirby Series to this page, since it has Knuckle Joe on it? Or make Knuckle Joe have the category or something. Max2 (talk)

Put it on the Knuckle Joe page, not the Assist Trophy page. My Bloody Valentine

Devil

They cut out the Tamagon trophy from Devil World in Melee because of Satanism in the versions outside Japan, now they're putting that Devil in. Does that mean rules aren't that strict nowadays, or will this push the ESRB rating? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 04:06, 14 August 2007 (EDT)

Oh dear goodness, you're right. This is likely to be higher rated. Or, they just couldn't care anymore :P We'll soon see. My Bloody Valentine

They might take him out of the American version. Or they'll rate the game "M". Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back! I see nothing wrong with an M rating...

I don't think one demon will make the whole game rated M.Knife (talk) 14:35, 14 August 2007 (EDT) Although Zero Suit Samus might.

IGN Movie Assist

There's some assist in the IGN video on the Castle Siege stage I can't identify. It's sort of pink. Does anyone know? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 10:54, 12 October 2007 (EDT)

Is Jill, from Drill Dozer. Is now on the list. Huh... i still thinking that the Assist Trophy characters needs separate articles :(--Caith Sith 10:57, 12 October 2007 (EDT)

Metroid

Gamespot's preview mentions a Metroid appearing as an assist. Should it be listed? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 17:11, 13 October 2007 (EDT)

We listed Gardevoir on the Pokémon article, and we know nothing about what that Pokémon does in the game, so I think Metroid should go here. My Bloody Valentine

Individual Articles?

I was wondering: since itmes such as Food currently have their own articles, can the assist trophy characters have articles as well? Stumpers! 21:54, 21 October 2007 (EDT)

These guys are too minor. You gonna make articles on these guys, then you have to make articles on the Pokémon too. My Bloody Valentine

So, if we did both, it would be acceptable? Ooof. That's a heavy load for one person... I may make use of the Trouble Center after all. We'll see. Stumpers! 23:30, 21 October 2007 (EDT)

Uh, I meant that we cannot make articles on these guys, as if you do that, the Pokémon should have articles, and those articles would be very tiny. My Bloody Valentine

Really, no more tiny than Peppy Hare, Ultimate Chimera or Polar Bear for example :P.--Caith Sith 12:32, 22 October 2007 (EDT)

We shouldn't take action before it is clearly decided. But the vote above is split, so we can't. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 12:56, 22 October 2007 (EDT)

And when we do another poll? :/ --Caith Sith 13:03, 22 October 2007 (EDT)

Maybe we should wait for the actual game to come out. Then we can decide based on actual gameplay. -- Son of Suns

Well, Brawl was launched in Japan and the info about the game is extense. So... we can reopen the question... individual articles for the Assist Trophies?--Caith Sith 06:45, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Only if you would agree on separate articles for each Pokémon...no, I don't think they're major enough. But the fact that the game is out didn't give us information yet on how many assists there will actually be, so this question can't be answered still. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 08:17, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Well, the game is out. What about this subjet? We can do individual articles?--Caith Sith 04:54, 26 March 2008 (EDT)

My vote is... No. My Bloody Valentine

Shadow the Hedgehog

This image is a joke image submitted to the Dojo!!, but, it still shows a clearer view of Shadow's Assist Attack, moreso than our current image on this article. Should we upload it, or should we leave it because its a joke image? My Bloody Valentine

Upload. EDIT: Don't, it doesn't show that he slows down anything, just makes a purple light. ^Plumber 19:38, 22 March 2008 (EDT)

Devil image

Why is the image for the Devil a shot of his trophy instead of a gameplay-related screenshot, like for the other Assist Trophies? --Grandy02 14:30, 8 December 2008 (EST)

Split all Assist Trophies into separate articles

If you look a few headers above, you will see another proposal like this one that failed. But each of the assist trophies deserve their own article. First of all, they're items, and I never saw items being merged together. Second, we've made articles on stuff more minor then assist trophies, like items only gotten in a small side quest (Wrestling Mag) and items that have a one-time use (Elevator Key), so I don't see how come all of the assist trophies don't have an article. Not the best reasons, but I'm something will be worked out.

Proposer: Reversinator (talk)
Deadline: 28 January 2010, 17:00

Split Assist Trophies

1. Reversinator (talk) Per proposal.

Keep as it is

1. Knife (talk) - All of the assist trophies are categorized under one item, therefore they should remain on one article. I see no advantage to splitting them.
2. Cobold (talk) - I agree with Knife.
3. Supermariofan14 (talk) - Splitting them would cause stubs.
4. Fawfulfury65 (talk) Per Supermariofan14. Spliting them all will destroy a FA.
5. Gamefreak75 (talk) Per all.
6. Walkazo (talk) - Per all.
7. Garlic Man (talk) - Per all.
8. MarioKart66! (talk) Assist Trophy is an featured article, splitting them will not only cause stubs, it will make this not a featured article.

Comments

They are not on individual articles because they have the same appearance when you pick them up, just like all the Pokémon, would you have those split as well? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 08:53, 14 January 2010 (EST)
