{{Mechajin|text=This is a lofty proposition, but I think that Days weaponry should have Combo Gifs. I think that the discriptions of most of the days weaponry is Inadequate. While I'm suggesting this, I won't be able to help due to my lack of, and unwillingness to use an emulator.}}
23 gears, 18 characters, that would mean 414 .gifs, anyone willing to work on that? {{User:Erry/Sig5}} 10:28, 15 June 2011 (EDT)

If someone could send the files via, say, DropBox or something, I could upload and name them, so all the player would have to do is capture and compile the gif.  {{The Inexistentsig}} 10:29, 15 June 2011 (EDT)
{{Mechajin|text=We could probably make it a cleanup of them month or something, And if two weapons have the same combo, we wouldn't have to do another gif for one.}}
{{Xion4ever|time=20:18, 18 June 2011 (EDT)|text=That's A LOT of .gif images...Are you sure we really need them? Isn't the gameplay description enough?}}
{{ErryTalk|time=00:45, 19 June 2011 (EDT)|edea=Not to mention the fact that there is also a Y-Combo which means DOUBLE of 414, so 828 .gifs total.}}
{{Mechajin|text=I wouldn't mind hosting some at a photobucket, I could set one up especially for the gifs.}}
{{Xion4ever|time=09:43, 19 June 2011 (EDT)|text=It's not really a problem hosting them on the Wiki...instead it's more of a question: do we really need them? We already have a written gameplay section that a lot of people worked hard to get it up to par. I see adding a .gif image as a trivial/unnecesary, personally. Most gameplay sections are written out, not replaced with an image or animation. Sometimes old school writing trumps modern animation/images.}}
{{Mechajin|text=I feel that some of the descriptions are inadequate. we can keep them, and have an image next to them, or on the article. we don't replace the description of fire with one of erry's gifs now, do we?}}
We're not relying on Erry's .gifs for demonstrating the detailed effects of Fire, either, which is essentially what you're proposing. Images and .gifs are just basic illustrations, and considering the work that needs to go into .gifs for each weapon (not 828, though, since not every weapon has a Y-Combo), it is simply not worth it, unless you want to spend the time and effort in doing it yourself.  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 11:01, 19 June 2011 (EDT)
{{LA|Vtext=<s>Tch. I wrote about half of the gameplay sections on the wiki. I take that as a personal insult.</s>

I agree with Xion and Neumannz. Making .gifs of over 400 weapon combos including their {{button|dsy}}-combos is a little extreme, if you ask me. If the gameplay sections are inadequate/unclear, then you should rewrite them so that you understand them.

And actually, some weapons have more than one {{button|dsy}}-Combo. If we really want to do this, <s>we</s> Erry may end up needing to make around 1,000 .gif's. Ask yourselves: Is it ''really'' worth it?}}
