Earthbound profile cleanups

[ArbitraryNumbers]

I have a problem with some of the Mother/Earthbound profiles.

They all use fanart, except for Ness, and the ones that I revised (Ninten and the Chosen four).

I've already revised Ninten, Poo, Paula, and Jeff's profiles. But my problem is with Giygas' profile. I cannot find any pictures of Giegue that fit the profile, because anything I find is ridiculously small. Should I just remove Giegue's picture, replace Giygas' picture with an official screenshot, and leave it like that? Or should I make Giegue the exception? If not, can somebody provide me with some official art that does fit the page in size? I'll get to revising the rest of the verse myself.

Also, just one more thing. Paula's profile blatantly admits to using outside help for her Low 2-C ranking. Would it be better to just rank her as "Unknown via praying"?

Isn't the whole point of Praying to have outside help? I mean, she prayed for help to beat Giygas.

Also, most if not all Earthbound characters lacks official arts. Only Smash and some rare promotional stuff have them. Otherwise it's full sprite.

Using a fanart is 100% better than no picture at all. So if there isn't any good size, fanart it is.

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

Exactly. If it's not summons or anything like that, and it's not Paula's own power, then I think it's better to list it as Unknown, as it's still something worth noting.

And all of the protagonists at the very least have official art.

We're allowed to use fan art as long as we credit the original artist.

It's vastly better than using subpar official art.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

Yeah but there is no reasons to put anything at all for Tiering for Praying if it's just summoning. It's either the tier of the summon or nothing at all, but not "unknown".

I doubt it. Even the wiki only uses the figurines. But at least we can use those I guess.

Point taken, but I wouldn't consider the official figurines subpar, though. I prefer it over the anime style the fanart uses any day.

This seems like the equivalent of the Zeno button, not o much a summon as calling for help.

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

I should also note that the "Comparable to Durability" for her Attack Potency rating is a bit strange.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

@Ever. To be fair, we do use UT's official art. Which is pure sprites.

Wasn't Paula's praying exploiting a massive weakness? I don't recall it being used to necessarily offensively hurt Giygas either. Plus, Praying had a lot more applications throughout the bulk of the game, none of which were remotely on that scale.

Unknow via Praying (Can cause a wide arrange of effects, from healing to hurting the enemies with Light. Additionally, Praying can call upon the help of various other character, though their participation is limited)"

I don't really like using the fanart either, mostly because its drastically different than the in game depictions. No offense, but Teddy doesn't even look like Teddy that much.
