Literaly just established even the most fodder goon has quite a bit.
Yeah? Because I'm not the dude making the profiles?
I could do it instead if you want?

King Dodongo has just about everything and you're still like, "OMG finish or delete it!!!"
Then why are you yapping to us at all?

King Dodongo
Infernal Dinosaur: King Dodongo is the boss of Dodongo's Cavern, the second dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. King Dodongo is the leader of the Dodongo sent to the cavern by Ganondorf. This is problematic for the Gorons, as King Dodongo loves to eat them. After the defeat of King...

Let's go step by step.
No scans, no proof, no evidence. How do we know he has breath attack? The profile doesn't show a single instance of it, nor explains to what extent.
No scans, no proof, no evidence. How do we know he has flame attacks? The profile doesn't show a single instance of it, nor explains to what extent.
Zero scans. Proof? I don't even think is true anyhow, pretty sure it's just headcanon and never actually said anywhere so that's a problem.
No scans, no proof, no evidence. How do we know he has acrobatics? Also what the **** is a Goron? Someone not familiar with Zelda wouldn't know wtf it's talking about.
Also that isn't acrobatics but that's besides the point.
This is fine, but only because the profile at least has an image of the mf where ya can see all that shit.
Scans? Proof? When do they say this? Where do they say this?
Ok, show it, wouldn't be hard to just clip the mf bashing him and dealing like a heart of damage.
Why is he stronger than Child Link? Based on what feat and showing? Why is it comparable to Gohma from WW?
Ok at least sufficient, this explains why he's that high, should maybe actually show it, but at least it explains why. Except that last bit is dumb as shit, I legit can't believe we have nigh invul for a low end boss in dura.
Uhm, why?
Uhm, why 2???? That last one isn't even true.
I'd list intel and weakness too but, ya know.
And wow that's the profile. Where's shit like heat res? Fire res? We're told Dodongo's have flame resistant stomachs too, add that on there, especially given internal attacks an actual method to fight it. What about its weakness to ice? Poison resistance? Why not have a SINGLE SCAN? Could definitely actually show the shit it does like its fireball attack instead of assuming everyone who reads the profile played the game and that they just take the profile's word for it. Longevity, we're told they can live eons and shit so...? Large Size, it's big after all and would better convey why internal attacks even a option. And that's just super basic stuff that I'm shocked even needs to be mentioned.
Dude no, this profile is dogass, the fact you think this is passable, is a huge red flag. Worst part is, that isn't even the worst of the profiles we got.
Because we have standards? Do it right or not at all?
Whether or not I'm doing it doesn't change the fact you have to do it right. And fyi, i would do it, it'd just take ages, but I have no real problem going about doing it.

Seems like almost all your problems with it is that it doesn't have a scan for every single thing. King Dodongo isn't worth creating 15 septillion scans for.

Bruh if you're not wanting to accurately index why are you here, like genuinely

It doesnt have a scan for ANYTHING. Hell it doesn't even EXPLAIN how, why or what half the shit it got, even fire manip doesn't even explain to what degree or what it can do with it, like that can be anything from having a lighter to some physics defying flames like Avdol, to what degree can it use flames? Is it just a basic fireball, can it spawn fire at distance, do giant AoE, etc.
It don't even have half the shit it should anyway.
Newsflash, this is required. You also gotta add references to everything now per wiki rules.
"king dodongo isnt worth-", then don't make profiles like him if you don't want to put in the effort. You keep going "who says theyll be bad", "who says theyll be low quality", "who says we wont index it properly", etc, and then you say stuff like that, making actual excuses.
I retract what I said before, I'm actively not ok with you making goon profiles, if you don't think it's worth putting in effort, don't do it to begin with.

Now I need to make some random goon profile like I've done twice with GoW lol
- 15,402
- 12,860
Got lots of options, I'd go with ReDead or Gibdo's tbh, they got enough stuff to make a fully fleshed out profile with some hax, would have reason to exist for active scaling, and also wouldn't be extreme like a Moblin profile
Wizzrobes might also be a good option or Zol's because it'd be funny.

Oh I meant just random ass profiles I decide to make
But hey, in a few days I could pick up a random boss or fodder lol

You could for some yeah, I wouldn't but like doing that would at least be acceptable, profile don't even do that tho.
As said it's dogass.

This thread does a whole lot of talking and not much doing.
No-lifing the game is not the end, the end is when all the profiles and calcs you wanted to do are uploaded on the site.

sounds a lot like yourself and not anyone else here, chariot has one of the most comprehensive amounts of scans across several zelda games getting into the thousands, he's compiling them and sorting through a lot of it himself and just about everyone else here has contributed in some way with prior zelda games and were actually supporting and productive hell myself, chariot, dusty, shmeaty and plenty others have done calcs for the verse and/or are working on EoW right now in some capacity.
You haven't done a damn thing but complain and criticize with nothing to show for it meanwhile we have actually calculations completed and scans gathered for indexing. What do you have? What work have you done to contribute? Keep this up and I'll be going to RVR because this continuous arguing and complaining about problems your inventing yourself is getting old very quickly. Get with the program and actually follow the site rules when it comes to indexing or don't comment at all.

I can’t wait till he publishes his research, then. He doesn’t want me making profiles, remember?

yeah no one wants you to make BAD profiles, way to miss the point at every level. You CAN make them just not utter shit ones and from what you've said thinking King Dodongo's is good shows you're skills aren't exactly up to par right now. start with a blog and send it here if you do want to do anything

Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks. I want profile-making to be easy and newbie-friendly, not something we're needlessly strict about pages anyone can edit.
- 15,402
- 12,860
I mean not when you aren't gonna put in the effort because it isn't worth doing for a goon.
If you like, actually do shit properly idc what you do.
Uh, no.
Being newbie friendly isn't an excuse, new dudes literally have to pass their stuff by dudes before publishing.
And being new also isn't an excuse to halfass, we don't want bad profiles, that literally just makes work for the mods that have to read and then delete that shit. Given you've literally gone on record 3 times saying stuff like getting scans for a profile isn't worth the effort for a goon, a bad one passes, or we shouldn't index everything and more. This all comes off as excuses to cut corners, or even not do anything at all.
We're strict, yes, and? It's called having standards. And also no, you can't just edit any profile, that's actually against the rules, even if they're not locked, you need to do a CRT, get permission, and so on. And half the time a mod has to come in and fix it anyway.
A new dude should never just come in and start editing and making shit, they can do sandboxes and blogs and from there run it by dudes to see if it's ok or not, that's how they learn.

It's not a newbie's fault if they make a profile that isn't as comprehensive as what a veteran would do. They wouldn't even have developed the skills yet to look for everything they could possibly index. I didn't say King Dodongo doesn't deserve scans either. I said it doesn't need scans for every little thing.

did you know the primary point of this wiki is accurate indexing? Crazy ain't it... yeah we need everything he can do listed as well as all his resistances all with scans and referenced
Lou_change
He/Him- 10,051
- 5,329
I mean does he have anything worth indexing from anything but ocarina of time it would just be the one reference if not
- 2,661

He's mostly the same in almost every game, but his highest feat actually comes from Hyrule Warriors; his fire attacks are apparently especially effective against Argorok.
- 15,402
- 12,860
Which is why they're meant to run it by staff first. Even I run my sandboxes by a bunch of dudes first.
Which is why they run it by staff first as above.
And I quote
Is what you said, stop backpedaling, we just went through this the other with Zelda too. Everything needs a scan, it might take effort or time, but it is what it is, it's the rule, and not just scans, but references too now are mandated.
You also said "King Dodongo has just about everything", when it actually has quite literally zero scans or evidence for anything.
- 42,359
- 36,663
Yeah when I make profiles for a verse that isn't explicitly mine(Or I'm head supporter for it) I tend to get reviews for it, it's what I did for the 2 GoW profiles I've made, and it's what I do for every Warhammer Fantasy profile I make.
Probably the only verse with any supporter base I just up and make a profile for is WoW, and that's because I'm running most of the show on it.

Looking at the rules it seems this is actually allowed the references, standard format for character profiles, and editing rules actually say you can't the standard format for character profiles even says otherwise. I might be missing something I could have sworn otherwise.
- 15,402
- 12,860
Idk what you're saying, but the mandated references thing is new due to imgur hosting problems.

Speaking of running sandboxes by people, I had a lot of downtime at work today due to a bunch of IT issues so I started dicking around with a draft for Null if anyone else isn't doing one, once I'm home and have better internet I'll copy and paste it into a sandbox later
- 15,402
- 12,860
Idk who's doing what so all I've done really is begin code for Zelda's na&t section.
I assume we need a render for that though? If so I might do one.

yeah a render would be cool
turns like like half of what I did during my work downtime just didn't save so it's even more incomplete than it was earlier but eh. Spoilers for anyone not finished with the game
