I could take it. Being a mod makes it easy, I can make fun titles, and it's fitting because opossums are known for playing dead. :awesome:

I did a bit of refurbishing. I tried to add more collapse tags to give more professionalism to the OP. :p

"The Big Ones" section still seems entirely subjective to me.

Eevee, Viridi, Isabelle, etc?

They were never "big ones".

Let's take a vote.

Shall I trim that section?

While we're at it, here are some other questions.

Should we keep item and stage deconfirmations?

Shall multiple posts be in the OP to aid in load times?

Please bold your votes, in the format Vote: [answer] :p

My vote is to do away with the whole "big ones" section, as there will always be some subjectivity with it, and just distribute its contents into the proper categories below.

Items/stages
Vote: Remove

Multiple Post OP
Vote: Unnecessary if the OP is trimmed down

Trimming the section:
Vote: Yes
Like N3ON said, many of the big names aren't really big names at all.

Keep item and stage disconfirmations:
Vote: Neutral
I don't think it's necessary, but I don't think it has to be removed.

Multiple posts:
Vote: Yes
The less lag the better.

Ehh I prefer you undo multiple collapse tags. They're kinda redundant because of the big red words & scrolling thing is never a problem for me unless there are about thousands of lines already.

I have no idea on the others, but I will Vote: Yes to the Multiple Posts. That's one thing I wish I did when I opened up the thread.

Tingle, Magnus, Cranky Kong, Nabbit and Shadow need graves. Pokemon Trainer also never got a written statement.

Trimming: No
Mostly because I feel that the characters who got into that category got in fair and square, we voted for it earlier.

Item/Stage: Keep
But only for previous items and stages. Don't want to get overboard.

Multiple Posts: Yes
They are a little big.

I shall leave the voting up for 24 hours, in which time I'll restructure the OP.

Trim the Section
Vote: No
Cause it still doesn't feel so long it needs to be trim.

Item/Stage
Vote: Keep
Cause losing information is losing information.

It works better that way.

Trimming: Yes. I don't like subjectivism. And I think Smash Run generic emenies don't need to be there, since they are, well, generic. Except the pokémon. You should make a section for pokémon, and specify if they are pokéball pokémon, stage hazards or Smash Run enemies.

Items/stages: Remove.

Multiple posts: Neutral.

All I think needs to be done is remove Shy Guy, Eevee, and Knuckle Joe from the Big Ones section.

I don't want the Big Ones section removed since I like seeing those graves. Its a respectful way of showing that we feel sorry for their supporters.

Nice, I didn't know what you mean about multiple posting but now I can see it.

Can you create 4th post for statistic purpose? I want new list that contain all characters' names in date order and even those without obituary.

Something like this:

2013
10/18/2013 - Xerneas (obituary done)
12/06/2013 - Skull Kid (obituary done)
12/13/2013 - Nintendogs (obituary done)
12/25/2013 - Starfy (obituary done)

2014
01/15/2014 - Ashley (obituary done)
02/05/2014 - Palkia (obituary done)
02/08/2014 - Dedenne (obituary done)
05/02/2014 - Dillon (obituary done)

Smash Bros Direct
04/08/2014 - Arceus (obituary done)
04/08/2014 - Entei (obituary done)
04/08/2014 - Arceus (obituary done)

Pre-E3 2014


E3


Post-E3 2014
??/??/2014 - Koffing (obituary pending)
06/26/2014 - Nabbit (obituary pending)

With this, we can have ETA when the next disconfirmation will happen and let people know which character didn't have obituary yet and would like to create one for it.

Nabbit stole something from Hades so Hades stole his chance and gave it to Rosalina.

I have a suggestion for the music for the thead. It's a bit darker than other suggestions.

There are glimmers of hope when you first see the image. You think other possible ways your character could get in. That feeling builds up until Sakurai's words convince you otherwise. And you resign yourself to your character's fate.

And go online to complain about it.

So now that the Big Ones category is gone, how do we decide who gets a grave?

I'll be adding to the list this coming weekend. Would anyone like to do some obituaries for Bonkers and the like?

I have one question, where would :pt: be put? The character was deconfirmed at the direct with the cut of transformations and Charizard going solo.

I could potentially help out, but quick question. Do you ever know what happened to my obituary of Electrode? I remember being invited to a Graveyard PM and writing one for it, but I never saw it in the OP.

Edit: Found the obituary. You should add it to the OP.
[collapse=RIP Electrode]

Electrode (Pokemon Red/Green, 1996)
Deconfirmed: 4/8/2014

Oh Electrode. You've never stood a chance at being playable, but you've always been by our side.

Ever since the first Smash Bros. in Silph Co., you've been around to explode indiscriminately and give the fighters' day just a little bit more... Flare. Come Melee and beyond, you've been a staple Poke Ball Pokemon. In fact, alongside Goldeen, Snorlax, and Mew, you've been one of the only Pokemon to stick through with us, no matter what!

For that, we salute you, our kabooming comrade. Here's to many more years to come of getting very, very far away from your explosions.[/collapse]​

I can do one for Bonkers. Where can I submit it when it's done?
EDIT: I also found the video with Bonkers in it. He's on screen at roughly 1:23

It leans torward "Moves" disconfirmation. Charizard has a new down special move and we can describe what just happened in orbituary about Sakurai on cutting the transformation mechanics.

Got Bonkers done because reasons and stuff.

Bonkers (Kirby's Adventure, 1993)
Deconfirmed on 6/11/2014
Let's face it, Bonkers has been outclassed by Kirby, Dedede and Meta Knight as candidates to become playable characters for a long time. However, there was still the rare selection of people supporting his inclusion however bleak his situation was.
Sadly he appears to be just a part of Smash Run now, but not everything is looking down for him! Not only has he been promoted from just a trophy and sticker in Brawl, but he's also a miniboss with more health than your standard waddle dee and a more defined attack pattern.
Godspeed, you glorious monkey. You may not be a character but you get to do what you're known for doing the most.
