Talk:False Character

I think this is a perfect solution for the merge to suggestion =]
 * This really is quite nice :)
 * Lol, thank you!

I Think The Dark Samuses Are Not Dark
...If that made sense. Since they don't have the shadowy glow around them, and there are 2, and there is no possibility that they could have consumed a trophy to form, since Samus hasn't been trophified in that scene.... I think they're different.


 * Makes sense to me. Since there's no trophy that was created for the Shadow Bugs to swarm and copy over, it seems more likely that the two Samuses fought are actually more along the lines of cybernetic clones created by the facility to guard Samus's actual suit of armor. But who knows? It's also possible that that they turned her suit into a trophy just to copy it, then turned it back for some reason. But then that wouldn't explain the lack of "aura" or yellow visor.

Move Please
The official name for individual characters is "False Zelda," "False Peach," etc. based on the names of cutscenes, so this article should be named "False Character." It's closest to official we have. --

Game & Watch
Umm I think that there we're false versions of Game & Watch you know on the Battleship Halberd and then snake knocks them out the window. so should he have one?--Luigibros2 12:29, 23 December 2008 (EST)


 * Are they "false" versions or multiple copies of Game & Watch himself? As Mr. Game & Watch is the source of all Shadow Bugs, I don't know if he can create an "evil" version of himself. He just creates more of himself. --

But who said false characters had to be evil?Nintendofan146 10:20, 16 May 2009 (EDT)

Conjecture?
According to discussions on SmashWiki, the name is official, at least for the princesses. Should the conjecture template be removed? Or should it stay because of the Character part? If it's still conjecture, I think False Fighter would be a better name. A False Character could apply to many things outside this game, such as False Bowsers or Cosmic Clones. False Fighter is difficult to confuse with anything (and it's a bit more alliterative). 16:45, 16 March 2017 (EDT)
 * Changed to for the time being.  12:51, 23 October 2017 (EDT)

Move to False Fighter
I think that False Fighter is a more descriptive name than False Character. False Character could refer to quite a few things (False Bowsers, Belome Copies, Cosmic Clones, etc.). False Fighter makes it clear (or at least more so) that this is referring to the bosses in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Besides, Fighter is the term normally used for playable Smash characters, not Character. Of course, it's still a conjectural name, but a better one.

There's also the fact that False Fighter sounds way better.

Support

 * 1) Per me.
 * 2) - I guess this wouldn't hurt.
 * 3) I can agree with this. With all the different types of false characters the Mario series has seen, Fighters suits Smash Bros. a bit better. And while it is still an unofficial name, I honestly doubt we'll see a real name for these characters. So per proposal, I don't see it hurting anything.
 * 4) Sounds good to me and after all, fighters fit perfectly for Smash Bros.

Oppose

 * 1) To me, hopping from one conjectural name to another seems kinda pointless and the names really aren't all that different from each other. I'd also rather keep things consistent with the SmashWiki.
 * 2) "Besides, Fighter is the term normally used for playable Smash characters, not Character." Not according to the (presumably official) name of this music track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRrAy90I980

Comments
@Tails777: Well, it's sorta official. These types of characters are named "FitKoopaFake.pcs" in their official file names of the game. 21:52, 16 December 2017 (EST)
 * Wouldn't "Fake Fighter" be a better name as a very-loosely-technically official name, then? 21:53, 16 December 2017 (EST)
 * "False" is used in game through the cutscene titles, though only in reference to False Peach and Zelda. For Samus, it's "The Copied Power Suit". 21:54, 16 December 2017 (EST)
 * Also, I'm not sure why The Great Maze section is in this article, because they're completely different types of enemies if we were to go by file-name logic (They're called FitKoopaDark.pac/.pcs, and all characters except the exceptions listed have that alongside characters who have the Fake suffix) 21:58, 16 December 2017 (EST)
 * Proposal. 21:59, 16 December 2017 (EST)
 * Well then, I disagree with the merge. 22:00, 16 December 2017 (EST)
 * It takes a proposal to undo another proposal. 22:05, 16 December 2017 (EST)
 * In this case, I don't think we should use the file names, as the characters do have an English title of "False". 22:16, 16 December 2017 (EST)
 * If they're all consistently named (and they all are), I think it's safe to drop the conjecture template. 22:17, 16 December 2017 (EST)
 * They are and they aren't. False Peach and False Zelda (EDIT: False Bowser as well) are the only ones really given titles. In the broad sense, "False" is the only part that's really official. "Character" and "fighter" aren't. 22:20, 16 December 2017 (EST)

@Doc von Shmeltwick Perhaps in the original Smash Bros., but the instruction manual for Brawl refers to them as Fighters. 09:29, 17 December 2017 (EST)
