If Efi doesn't arrive, someone is gonna have to do his job for him, and he can't bitch because he was given plenty of chances to come.Still waiting for Efficiente to come here right? Someone really needs to ping Efi.
THIRTY EIGHT tabbers with about two sentences of description for each of their contents are absolutely not conducive to using control F. That particular example is taken from the "Items" section of Kirby's profile
There's tabbers for unrelated quotes down in the feats and abilities section, tabbers that go three deep, there's even tabbers where I genuinely can't tell what they're supposed to be doing without going into the page's code.
So, what should we do in return? A few things. First off, here's a neat bit of wiki code.
This isn't even getting into whether you even need all these categories to be totally separate (looking at you, limited use abilities) or whether there's bloat within them.
kirby really doesn't have enough resistances to justify a third layer. Put that under the same header as the abilities like a normal person.
The amount of keys for intelligence doesn't even match up to the amount of keys Kirby has. It's unclear what the split here even is, and why he was given four different intelligences
It is entirely unnecessary to refuse to give kirby a set intelligence and to write an essay for every single possible end.
even here it meanders into irrelevancy and starts talking about things that have absolutely nothing to do with intelligence like not getting grossed out by a bleeding eye and being capable of using a little thing we call vision and deciding to attack something's gigantic wings accordingly.
(or just talks about random shit because big number funni, I guess)
I'd use my in development profile's intelligence section of the same message conveyed far more concisely
Ghost Kirby is already given its own key, yet a bunch of its abilities are reposted under pre-star allies.
Post-Star Allies doesn't need to restate accelerated development like that. Make use of the feats section of the profile if you really must.
A lot of abilities are explained in detail both up in P&A and down in NA&T. The whole point of the latter is that you don't have to duplicate this.
Attack Potency includes too much extrapolation and storytelling. The verse already has a bunch of blogs to establish these more complicated things, just stick to the feats. It's better to have a succinct AP section which gets the point across rather than detailing every single person Kirby beat up which all scale back to the same feat anyways. If something's not intuitively the tier that it is, that's where the link to a calc or in this case the cosmology blog comes in. Kirby itself isn't the worst page about this, but look at the absurdity that is Magolor.
Speed: Again, there is no reason to repost the same feat over and over again, nor is there reason to post every single person that scales to that same feat. Keep it to people who actually have distinct speed feats, and even then keep it to enough examples to get the point across and establish consistency.
Clearly someone somewhere down the line was able to articulate what tier Kirby was at in a succinct manner, yet it was only done for one chunk of the profile and not the other.
Intelligence is not fine, as mentioned. Delete most of that. Ditto for standard tactics.
The existence of note 2 makes the long winded AP explanation even weirder. You don't need to repost the same information over and over, not only is that inefficient but it actively harms reading comprehension.
Explaining the scaling of other characters is extraneous. This is the page for Kirby, not the page for everyone who kinda looks like him.
Quotes don't get directly embedded like that, link to them or put them in pastebin if you can't due to paywall reasons.
Elasticity gets very redundant. Just show the more extreme examples which by themselves imply the less extreme ones, and there's no need to mention him being a ball four times.
While there's general language problems throughout which don't need a thread to fix, I genuinely don't know what's meant by "Potential not uses: As elaborated in an interview, Kirby as a character is developed being able to do mysterious things other characters in his series cannot naturally do (Until it becomes indigenous for them), "unreasonableness" being a goal, and "people who cannot be convinced of unreasonable things unless they are explained one by one" being rational to think that way, but incorrect to apply that to Kirby." Clean that up, somehow.
Page shouldn't be speculating about what he can do. Stick to what can be proven.
This toon force section is just generally more ESL than normal and hard to read.
Regeneration is repeated information from P&A. In addition, it makes a bunch of non-feat arguments for the power being there, which is not really how that section works.
Kirby not having bones doesn't need to be explained in such excruciating detail. "Kirby doesn't have bones, according to his creator (link to statement) is really all you need.
Inhale is really wordy and lists things it doesn't need to like how kirby generally does not eat bombs.
Size manip shouldn't be all blue.
You cannot just say that actually Copy Abilities don't get lost on damage despite doing so in basically every game with no further elaboration despite claiming that there's toooooootally tons of examples guys, trust me.
Especially if you're going to bloat the profile with shit nobody cares about to support an uncontroversial claim which is already supported with far less. This is just ridiculous.
Why would you include evidence of a claim you then say probably isn't the case in pocket reality manipulation? Choose your interpretation and stick to it. The refutation doesn't cite anything, so it's not like you needed those links of supposed evidence to prove a point. It's just clutter.
Fusion shouldn't be all blue, put the bulleted list to actual use
No need for random quotes about Kirby being quirky
Duplication
in this case the duplicates which only appear for dancing tooooootally retaining full functionality of the normal guy despite this not being something intuitively accepted
None of this section [...] needs to be here. It's the one below the first sentence on "Super Abilities."
That third paragraph needs to be cut down too.
All in all, reading this profile closely has caused me to come to the conclusion that it's probably deliberately hiding wank by bloat in a manner akin to the old /tg/ old man henderson background. Not really what you want your profile to do.
I'd be happy to offer alternative phrasings to specific passages on request
this issue is everywhere in the profile, even the classification section (somehow???)
Well, for that case, sure.I agree, and on the topic of Kirby pages, this is minor but I dislike the usage of fan translations for the pages' quotes. They're better for the sake of accuracy, when it comes to battleboarding, but they're really stilted and sometimes so literal they don't even make sense. Magolor's page is a good example.
Official translation: "The shattered crown was scattered across dimensions, as were Magolor's powers. Now he seeks to reclaim them! Is this a journey of penance or revenge? And what surprises away at the end?!" neat, punchy, simple to understand.
Fan translation: "The crown shatters, and falls to Another Sky. Magolor embarks on a journey to collect power that was scattered. Whether this is a journey of atonement or a journey of revenge, only he is aware of his true feelings. What kind of shocking conclusion awaits at the end of his journey!?" Contains several grammatical errors, is worded very awkwardly and generally makes little sense if you don't already know what it's talking about.
Honestly, I'm checking Kirby on other wikis, and this is much more readable, no offense.
@The_Pink_God did it if you wonder.
Kirby
Kirby is the titular pink puff and main protagonist of Nintendo's Kirby series of video games. He made his debut appearance in 1992, starring in Kirby's Dream Land. The series has been running for over two decades, and over thirty titles have been released under Kirby's name, most of which are...all-fiction-battles.fandom.com
You said that at day 2 tho.If Efi doesn't arrive, someone is gonna have to do his job for him, and he can't bitch because he was given plenty of chances to come.
For an important Kirby thing you seem to be very slow to respond, 3 day mark, was it?You said that at day 2 tho.
I mean, this is a long ass post that he just posted.For an important Kirby thing you seem to be very slow to respond, 3 day mark, was it?
Did you know that the Kirby profile was pumped full of so much hot air that local glowie Wokistan had to invent 34 rules on the Versus Battles Wiki to prevent it from bursting? Google Kirby Inflation Rule 34 to learn more!*
*Do not actually do this.
Yeah that'd be preferable so people can view the formatting and stuff before its fully appliedShould I link a sandbox where I shorten or fix everything, and apply things as they're first agreed here?
Why were you torturing yourselfBtw I never used Ctrl F
I think it's for all of them, not just Magolor. I would honestly prefer having no quotes over the poorly fan-translated ones, they're just not pleasant to read in a casual setting. But I would seriously doubt that the official quotes would really do that much harm to add in for flavor.Well, for that case, sure.
In general, honestly official Kirby translations are the bane of my existence, they always miss out tiny bits that build into something larger and mislead into implying something that one thinks it's consistent with other things when that's all wrong. And obviously one sees the mistranslations over and over when looking at scaling & abilities in gameplay & cutscenes, having less time to understand "wait, so this meant this" than if they were always seeing the fan translations.
On the Magolor quote for example,
But again, either is fine for Magolor's profile.
- I would guess "he seeks to reclaim them" refers to "Magolor's powers", not the crown's, but the Jap. version makes it more clear. So someone reading the page would read that quote, and then the correct version when needed to for scaling, needing to only keep in mind the one that matters.
- The series has this worldbuilding thing where they refer to universes as "skies", either at random or when it otherwise makes 0 sense for real skies to be talked about. So that's something originally intended to see & say "Hey, they did that thing again" that gets missed out for a more logically-sounding sentence, which one could argue has more weight.
I would actually say that there should be some form of separation between those types and normal abilities.You mean things like Mixed Ability, Super Abilities, Limited Use Abilities being all covered at once with 1 of those, ok.
I think you could just do "At least Below Average, Above Average in combat, Genius regarding technology" or something. I feel like you could argue those feats don't really work for Genius but I'm not going to here.I disagree.
- 1 set intelligence by our standards would make him a Genius because he grabbed a wrench and built a spaceship he used to fly in space shoot some enemies. Our Intelligence page also animates to have separations like what Kirby has.
- As for "write an essay", rough topic, but I will defend it.
- His general general intelligence is below average, not elaborating on that will miss out "what does it mean to be Kirby", essentially, a dumb character like him can do 20 different actions, some being pretty competent & impressive, in a way that he's still a dumb character. Not to mention what type of things he would do based on what situations he's in, I believe that should be properly expressed.
- In combat, one would normally see a Combat Genius in profiles like that, but half of the time I don't think the feats given reach that & feel like it's exaggerated. It's hard to qualify, but I believe it should be judged by seeing what they can do, properly. So no issue with an essay there.
I guess that's somewhat notable? But I would honestly list it in standard tactics over intelligence.One wouldn't know if not told what Kirby has seen and been unbothered by; Imagine someone puts Kirby up against a horror character, then another tries to look things up to evaluate how it would go down, it would be reasonable for any random person to still think "Kirby would get traumatized by [X], petrified/messing his decision-making", because he looks & acts like a small plushie. People need to first be told by someone, which I believe is us. Yes, that is a form of intelligence, it's experience & emotional intelligence.
If character A can beat up a giant monster with wings then good for them. If character B can do the same, + is purposely able to first destroy the wings to have an easier time beating up the monster, then that's even better. Again, how is this not intelligence and not something you need to be told if you're a random person? I mean separate from the fact that it's a small detail.
I would list it as Enhanced AD then.That doesn't seem proper, this is ( ...conservatively, unless one assumes everyone in the verse always has & had it via friendship) a different power that works on its own rules. "Feats" cover feats, not mechanics & new abilities, P&A does that.
I think laying out the scaling in a blog is better, especially given that I don't think the logic is super unquestionable. If you're afraid of people questioning Kirby's strength, I would list maybe one or two secondary feats like the meteor baseball minigame or megaton punch.Define intuitive? For any regular person, a character like Kirby being that strong, let alone other characters w/o his combat record & connotations of power, is a massive pill to swallow. I'm talking about reasonable suspension of disbelief, not bad faith. I need to update the blogs in scaling, but that only covers "Boss 3 comes after boss 2. Boss 4 comes after boss 3 and was said to be stronger", the things every playable character would scale to, but not character-exclusive stuff happens in between that and connotations of power for playable characters, it's easier for the profiles to have all that. It's complicated, but I can see it shortened after the info can be accessed elsewhere.
You mean the "Potential uses" part. For example when he bats a world-destroying meteor away and the meteor itself survives that for quite a while while destroying small moons over and over lined up in its trajectory, is this not Toon Force?
To be fair, Junko and Monaca have their intelligence feats separated from their intelligence section right to not bloat these.I think you could just do "At least Below Average, Above Average in combat, Genius regarding technology" or something. I feel like you could argue those feats don't really work for Genius but I'm not going to here.
I mean that those are elaborated in detail there.Uh, no they don't lol
Honestly in their regards, given that they're primarily (at least i guess so for the latter given that I haven't played V3) intelligence-based characters, I wouldn't mind a super fat intelligence section. But that's neither here nor there ig.
Well, for me, I would more so take accuracy over being not being pleasant to read, and a lack of any quote or changing it for another quote over an inaccurate one if needed to. Tell me which ones you don't like and I will see.I think it's for all of them, not just Magolor. I would honestly prefer having no quotes over the poorly fan-translated ones, they're just not pleasant to read in a casual setting. But I would seriously doubt that the official quotes would really do that much harm to add in for flavor.
Well, if it's minor and situational "standard tactics" would not cover it, intelligence would. I'm moving most of it to a blog tho.I guess that's somewhat notable? But I would honestly list it in standard tactics over intelligence.
Monaca is not from V3 but UDG, which is between 2 and 3.Honestly in their regards, given that they're primarily (at least i guess so for the latter given that I haven't played V3) intelligence-based characters, I wouldn't mind a super fat intelligence section. But that's neither here nor there ig.
All of the translated ones, genuinely, I think they're just not well written. Which is fine, they're not meant to be, but I don't think they work at all in context. I still think the English ones are fine, a tiny smidge of inaccuracy for the sake of being much more effective is a fine trade when it comes to page quotes. But, I dunno, depends how others feelWell, for me, I would more so take accuracy over being not being pleasant to read, and a lack of any quote or changing it for another quote over an inaccurate one if needed to. Tell me which ones you don't like and I will see.
To kinda parrot what Armorchompy is saying, the directly translated quotes are best for when they're needed for scaling purposes and the like. But, if they're just for quotes on the page, it's best to go with what's more legibleWell, for me, I would more so take accuracy over being not being pleasant to read, and a lack of any quote or changing it for another quote over an inaccurate one if needed to. Tell me which ones you don't like and I will see.
Many translations are incredibly different than the official ones, not because they "may as well be fanfiction", but because the official translations are infamously terrible. Like Hypernova saying that Kirby's stomach becomes a black hole.As long as the translations aren't so incredibly different that the official one may as well be fanfiction I think it's fine to use the official translations for the quotes since they flow better than a more direct translation.
I'm aware, my personal view on the matter is the same.To kinda parrot what Armorchompy is saying, the directly translated quotes are best for when they're needed for scaling purposes and the like. But, if they're just for quotes on the page, it's best to go with what's more legible
Why… isn’t this just Immunity to Bone Manipulation?
That would imply he's immune to getting smacked with bones too, I guessWhy… isn’t this just Immunity to Bone Manipulation?
I'd just go with Limited Immunity to Bone ManipulationThat would imply he's immune to getting smacked with bones too, I guess
Exactly.That would imply he's immune to getting smacked with bones too, I guess
Well, I believe "Limited Immunity" sounds counterintuitive, while "having his bones manipulated" says things as they are.I'd just go with Limited Immunity to Bone Manipulation
Not necessarily. Because it is an immunity, just not to every kind of Bone ManipulationWell, I believe "Limited Immunity" sounds counterintuitive, while "having his bones manipulated" says things as they are.
I can respond any question, everyone feel free to ask.
Technically, Bone Manipulation is; “the ability to manipulate one's own bones or that of others“, so you wouldn’t have to be immune to being hit by bones to have an Immunity to Bone Manipulation.That would imply he's immune to getting smacked with bones too, I guess
