Can we add Juggernaut real quick? For some reason he isn't here yet and I just posted a match with him. Forget to add him but when I went to add him I couldn't find him. Huh. I was pretty sure we had already added Juggernaut, but I've been checking into it and there's no evidence a profile of him ever existed here. Aw, well, we'll get to adding him. Personally, I'd say unless a specific version of Spidey is drastically different from the rest, that version may not need a separate profile. While I can see the logic in that what if you want to do a fight between two different versions of a character? By that logic such things are stuck in Rumbles, even if you have a story for it. Okay, this is something else we'll have to get a feel from the community on. Nothing is set in stone yet as far as the guidelines, but the point I was making is that if one version of a character has virtually no real differing traits from other versions other than being from a different timeline/universe/etc. (i.e., personality, drastic difference in powerset, etc.), there may not be a need to add a separate profile for that version.

I was contemplating the possibility of someone adding two profiles for one character, if that character went through a radical transformation. For instance, Darth Vader doesn't have much in common with Anakin Skywalker even though they're the same person, and Bucky Barnes doesn't have as many powers or skills as the Winter Soldier. This might make sense because Anakin wouldn't become Darth Vader if it weren't for Palpatine. I don't know. It might be unnecessary, but I thought I might put it out there. On a different note, I was thinking that possibly we could add Earth-1218, AKA the Marvel multiverse' version of our Earth (not like DC's Earth Prime, I'm saying that it's apparently completely indistinguishable from our reality) into the database. Nah, it's silly... But it could still work, right?

Nah, it's silly... But it could still work, right? And I see that point. It's a fair point, but even in cases such as that where personality, and powerset are the same more or less each version is likely to have different feats and personal histories. For instance, using Spider-Man as an example again. The Powersets of 616 Peter and Ultimate Peter are pretty much, personality much the same from what I gather, but they've been through different things, have different feats. Things is if just mark this stuff in matches and people look at the records thy aren't going to know it was such and such version, unless they click on the link in said record. (Which is one advantage we have over the old CBUB.) I'm advocating this not only for the above reason of having alternates fight in official matches but for clarity in our record keeping, so we know which version was used in which fight. Now I'm not saying we need every alternate version of a character ever made, that would be too much. However having really notable ones, like say we could have a profile for Mainstrea I hoever wouldn't advocate having seperate profiles for all of Tommy Oliver's Ranger powers for instance. Of course this is up to the community as a whole and I will accept whatever ruling is ultimately given.m Comics Superman, DCAU Superman, Pre-Crisis Silver Age Superman, Smallville Clark Kent etc.

Okay, here are some serious suggestions, and they're all from the Portal series (I couldn't find any characters from the games in the database): Chell GLaDOSAtlas & P-BodyDoug Rattmann & Weighted Companion Cube* WheatleyCave JohnsonAdventure CoreSpace CoreFact Core(I know it's a lot, but Portal is a damned good franchise) STAFF EDIT: All done here.
* I decided to just add Doug Rattmann here, as the Weighted Companion Cube seems more like an item/weapon than an actual character or place.

I just have to once again preface my responses by saying that nothing's been decided on the Database's guidelines yet, so nothing I'm saying right now is really the "word of law" as it were. I was contemplating the possibility of someone adding two profiles for one character, if that character went through a radical transformation. For instance, Darth Vader doesn't have much in common with Anakin Skywalker even though they're the same person, and Bucky Barnes doesn't have as many powers or skills as the Winter Soldier. This might make sense because Anakin wouldn't become Darth Vader if it weren't for Palpatine. I don't know. It might be unnecessary, but I thought I might put it out there. On a different note, I was thinking that possibly we could add Earth-1218, AKA the Marvel multiverse' version of our Earth (not like DC's Earth Prime, I'm saying that it's apparently completely indistinguishable from our reality) into the database. Nah, it's silly... But it could still work, right? Vadar and Anakin are still the same character within the Star Wars Universe, as are Bucky and Winter Soldier in Earth-616, so there's probably really no need to make separate profiles in each case. I'm not sure what point there would be in adding the real-life universe, either, as it may make too broad of a subject for a "character" profie, let alone to make an interesting opponent in a match. It might be best used as a reference point in a match instead. And I see that point. It's a fair point, but even in cases such as that where personality, and powerset are the same more or less each version is likely to have different feats and personal histories. For instance, using Spider-Man as an example again. The Powersets of 616 Peter and Ultimate Peter are pretty much, personality much the same from what I gather, but they've been through different things, have different feats.

Okay, this is super urgent! I just made a match between Lois Lane and Mary Jane and it turns out neither of them are in the database! Can someone please add them?

The Wombles (The Wombles) Cartoons One question, PPP. Are the animated Wombles noticeably any different than the original, puppet versions (as in personality, motivation, abilities, etc.)? If not, a general profile could probably be created for all versions of them.

Okay guys, can somebody please add two characters to the database that I plan to use in an official match? They are Bob from the Tekken series and Rufus from the Street Fighter series. Thanks.

Hey, Russ, when you say "All-New" Fantastic Four, are you talking about an FF team from a separate continuity, or is this the latest iteration of the main 616 team? If it's the latter, then the main FF profile already up should probably do. You could maybe even add a pic of the All-New FF to the main profile.

Separate continuity Should probably get a profile to itself, but I leave that to you guys.

The New Fantastic Four was actually in the mainstream Earth-616 continuity. They're the ones in the picture. When it comes to superhero teams I think it's easier to just specify which members are involved in the match in the set up, rather than separate profiles for every variation of the team.

Didn't they eventually get there own continuity though?

Possibly. Comic books are complicated.
