Great work for a first time! I come to bring some advice, seeing as it's very similar to one I had done so many years back for Luigi in Brawl. Time to dig up some ancient history!
The Green Machine: A Luigi Strategy Guide
Wow, it feels weird looking at that again. Anyways, as you can see I did something similar to what you have done. Tips:
- Try to format your guide. By that I mean clearly highlight different sections be it with bold, italics, colors, or text size.
- Even though you clearly state that the match-up area is based on your experience I would remove the match-up area for now. The game is really young. We still do not know much about the game, and the Wii U version has not even been released. While for those of us that read, we will take your statements as advice, some of the others will view your guide as 100% truth. I know you should not be held responsible for their mistakes even if you clarified that at the beginning but still, it seems like a good place to start.
- Images and Videos! While my guide does not have any images regarding the moves (something that I am deeply ashamed off now) that will help out your guide intensely.
- A table of contents is good at the beginning highlighting all of the guides major areas!
- While not necessary, I added a five star (***) system to symbolize the approximate knock-back of moves. It adds a little bit more of complexity/understanding to the guide.
Those are my five key points! I am looking forward to the evolution of your guide!
Thank you very, very much for the constructive criticism and tips. : ) I am working on formatting the guide to better reflect the various sections as we speak. I am very used to simple ASCII guides (on gameFAQs) and so am getting used to having actual formatting options! XD
The Table of Contents will be coming shortly, I wanted to get the information out first. : )
Indeed about the match ups... I wanted to provide some general notes for players to keep in mind, but I do see what you mean about how some may take it as 100% truth :\ Advice indeed, that I constantly re-emphasize... I wonder if there is a way to constantly emphasize "tips" and reminder that the game is young... or if it should really be removed altogether. A point I will ponder but am leaning toward removal.
Oh, I did not think of images and videos, but that would certainly help keep things organized. Though I do lack any sort of capture tech, I can look into it elsewhere.
That's a pretty good system regarding launches! I may implement it.
Again, thank you for the advice and tips, I shall work on implementing them for best readability among other things. Also thank you for being constructive rather than straight up demeaning. :\
