Talk:Spin Dash (Sonic)

Merging
. The merging might cause some information to be lost, and, considering Bounce Attack's status as not simply a small alternative thing (unlike Ōdama Rasengan), it doesn't need to happen. . I disapprove removing information from the Wiki simply because it's no longer on the game. On the contrary, I believe we should be covering as much as possible. . I probably wouldn't oppose it as hard if it meant there were actually consistent rules for what moves share a page and what moves stay separated, however. Creating a new rule would probably cause the Kaiō-ken Attack page to be merged with Ki Blasts or something, though... Gregory  Naruto   11:55, August 6, 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Bounce Attack, despite occupying the same spot as Spin Dash, was completely different. It has its own name and function, and the article we have for it currently is not short at all.


 * Support: Honestly I don't think Bounce Attack should ever have gotten its own page at all. Different from the grounded variant or not, it's just an additional function of Spin Dash that just happens to have its own name. A similar argument can be made for moves like PK Thunder 2 and Parasol Dive, they function almost completely differently too but we don't have separate pages because it's just how the base move works. Also, the page itself isn't short but I don't think there's much to the move itself that things would be lost if we just made it a paragraph, or even a trivia point. Frankly I think our coverage of removed special moves goes a little bit overboard, I don't like how we group it into the overviews of non-removed moves and I don't like how we treat Final Forms like they're their own characters. But that's another discussion. CrazyNaut (talk) 03:15, August 7, 2020 (UTC)
