Future section still needed?

Is the future section really needed anymore? The opening paragraph links to both the original Super Smash Bros. and to Brawl – personally, I think that's enough. As I recall, the future section was originally created beacause the fate of the series was uncertain at the time; now that we know for sure that there will be a sequel, I think the section has outlived its relevance. --Sparky Lurkdragon 04:29, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

All right, no one's responded for about a week, so I'm just going to chop out the future section. We already have a link to Brawl in the opening paragraph. --Sparky Lurkdragon 23:14, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Giga Bowser

Any advice on how to beat Giga Bowser? And will Giga Bowser be back in the next game?

beating him is easy, getting to him is hard. Just spam airiels inside of him.Qwerasdfzxcvvcxz

If you mean event match 51 then use Jigglypuff and use rest(Down B) in him.Qwerasdfzxcvvcxz

I actually beat Giga Bowser with JP on both versions. It's pretty easy to get to him with JP once you've mastered rest. I can kill just about anything (Not including the Hand Bros.) with rest. You just have to master it. 24.48.189.235 16:28, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Rest isn't always an instant KO. Jaxad0127 06:17, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I used Yoshi and kept on doing the flutter kick on him. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.31.152.232 (talk • contribs) .

Guys, can we discuss the article, not the game, please? There are plenty of guides out there on the rest of the Internet. --Sparky Lurkdragon 17:13, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

PAL vs European

I don't think either of these accurately describes the version with 290 trophies. "PAL" does not include France and "European" does not include Australia, New Zealand, and other countries that we're assuming have the variation of SSBM with 290 trophies. But are we even sure that Australia and New Zealand have the same version as Europe, or even that France has the same version as the rest of Europe? Cosmos 07:08, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

What if we just say that there were 293 in the Japan/NA versions and only 290 for the rest of thw world? Jaxad0127

That sounds good. It's simple and accurate. Cosmos 11:46, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

-should we add the "tiers" of chraracters (basically the playability in tournaments)? -akshayaj

Nooooo. It is cruft and only has relevence to people playing the game (hence, it fails the guidelines set forth at WP:CVG). Nifboy 21:02, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Besides, tiers are more or less arbitrary. --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 16:28, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

MPAA Rating Similarity

Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64 would be similar to the MPAA's "PG" rating, and Super Smash Bros. Melee would be similar to the MPAA's "PG-13" rating.

Uh...no. Not only is that original research, I think that Melee is defitely closer to PG. - Kookykman|(t)e 16:45, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Since its rated teen, pg-13 is appropriate. Jaxad0127 17:22, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

No. You don't compare the two rating systems, especially in the main article. - Kookykman|(t)e 16:05, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Right. So why are we even having this conversation? Jaxad0127 16:27, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Ninteno Power + extra trophies

What issue of Nintendo Power claimed the 2 extra trophies to be false? Nismojoe 14:41, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Erm...no issue. Those trophies are real. I've seen them with my own eyes. RememberMe? 21:00, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Preceded/Followed By?

If you edit the page, you'll notice that there is a Preceded By and a Followed By section in the infobox (Or whatever you call it, I'm drawing a blank), but it doesn't appear! Does anybody know why, and if so if it can be fixed? RememberMe? 21:01, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

That would require changing the template. Jaxad0127 21:05, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Said fields were only briefly used in the template; they were taken back out because of the sheer ambiguity involved, along with concerns of the template's size. Long story short, those fields are no longer in use. Nifboy 23:15, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Awards

Should we mention that the game topped (or was at least in the the top ten of) the GameCube's sales list every month for over two years? Jaxad0127 20:08, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

If you can find a source, feel free to include it. That would be much better than saying that "ti's the top-selling game" Hbdragon88 07:21, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Smashing Live CD?

I've been a subscriber to Nintendo Power since issue 3, and I was never sent this CD, nor have I heard anything about it. tyam 05:45, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Really? I have been a subscriber for a few years and I recieved it. It is in a square coated paper caase inbetween the pages of an issue(I forget which one). It's not too special though, unless you play it while playing the game(like a different soundtrack).Qwerasdfzxcvvcxz 15:54, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
