Edits

Please avoid adding filler in your writing (making your writing too wordy) and changing valid words and phrases around unnecessarily (especially into a more casual tone). A lot of your edits, including your anonymous ones, have consisted of this; for example, changing "fell through" to "declared impossible" (even though that's not what they explicitly said) and "too far in" into an unnecessarily more informal "incredibly deep in", and edits here (the part about Chrom), here (which could have been cut down without the first part), and here ("fulfil the expectations and hopes of representing" is flowery writing and completely unnecessary; just say "represent"). Your rewriting of the Melee pre-release content page also removed formatting for game titles and you also forgot to italicise game titles yourself despite being reminded already.

Sorry, I will not do it again. ItsMarioTime! (talk) 02:11, August 31, 2021 (EDT)

You posted on the wrong page; my talk page is the "JC" in my signature, not the Shy Guy sprite, which is a file page. To answer your question, no, calling something (an action) unnecessary is not rude, it's just saying something is not needed, which I meant with some of your edits. Calling someone would be.

Okay, thanks! Because I'm starting to get so tired of my edits being called unnecessary all the time. ItsMarioTime! (talk) 08:02, August 31, 2021 (EDT)

Your edits on Chrom and Kazuya Mishima are what I'm talking about. On Chrom, you basically changed what the article already said but stretching it longer, which was what I was referring to when I said your edits are too wordy. There's nothing wrong with being concise and to-the-point without using too many words. Also:

• "but Sakurai ultimately chose Robin instead, as he felt that Chrom would play too similarly to Marth and Ike, however, Robin would not" You added the bolded part in, which isn't necessary; it's obvious Robin was chosen because he wouldn't play similarly. Leave readers to infer from the information.
• Similarly: "Sakurai claimed he had considered either Kazuya Mishima or Heihachi Mishima to serve as the Tekken fighter, this means he had a choice of either picking Kazuya or Heihachi" is repeating the same sentence in different words; avoid repetitive edits like this.

Also, don't italicise character names like Robin, Kazuya etc. Only the game titles are italicised. Mario JC 09:10, September 1, 2021 (EDT)

Same with Incineroar: "Incineroar was intended to be left out and replaced by Decidueye as the new Pokémon fighter from Generation 7, however, Sakurai decided to have a change of plan: Because Decidueye would play too similarly to an already-existing fighting style, Incineroar was used instead." - The "Sakurai had a change of plan" does not need to be there at all and makes it sound casual.

Finally, do not add information that's not mentioned in the sources you cited, please. The references don't say anything about Decidueye playing too similar to other fighters. Mario JC 09:29, September 1, 2021 (EDT)

I think I am taking the sources a little bit too seriously. I don't see anything wrong with the edits, it's just stretching what Sakurai said, we all make mistakes! I'll just remember that the point has been made and it doesn't need stretching. Here's what you're saying:

1. Chrom - Chrom was just considered a playable character, but Sakurai instead chose Robin as he felt that Chrom would play too similarly to Marth and Ike, which is true, but it was stretched further.
2. Kazuya Mishima - All Sakurai said was that Kazuya was chosen as the Tekken fighter over Heihachi Mishima, due to the Devil Gene making Kazuya stand out more.
3. Incineroar - Sakurai never said that Decidueye was going to replace Incineroar, he just stated that he almost chose Decidueye as the new Pokémon fighter, but Sakurai chose Incineroar instead because he had never done a professional-wrestler character before. Also, there are actually very few cases of a character replacing another character, like Lucas replacing Ness in Melee, which did not happen.
4. Solid Snake - Snake appearing as a playable character in Melee was already mentioned at the start of his own page, it doesn't need to be explained two times.

Still, your advice is perfectly taken, like always. However, please stop getting tired of giving people the same advice, it doesn't really matter that much, just have a great day! ItsMarioTime! (talk) 10:52, September 1, 2021 (EDT)
