TheFifteenthMember Yes. You're creepy. I can't say we'll miss you while you're gone, so it'd be best if you did go. We all win that way. — TheFifteenthMember 19:25, 19 May 2015 (UTC) On the matter of boss attack names, we really shouldn't be using unofficial names that aren't from the Ultimania. If a name isn't from the Ultimania, it shouldn't be named at all (even if it's in lowercase to indicate it being unofficial). For example: Blizzaga jump: Ventus-Vanitas appears above his target following the execution of afterimage; he slashes downwards, spawning three large icicles. The arbitary, slightly useless, name tag can easily be removed: Ventus-Vanitas appears above his target following the execution of afterimage; he slashes downwards, spawning three large icicles. Thoughts?

KrytenKoro - "Space Corp Directive 195—In an emergency power situation, a hologrammatic crew member must lay down his life in order that the living crew members might survive."  "Yes, but Rimmer Directive 271 states just as clearly: 'No chance, you metal bastard.'" TALK - Giving it a name, even if it's an unofficial one that we mark with lowercase or quotation marks, does make it a lot easier to refer to if we have to come back to it later in the strategy. I would instead recommend using the boss's telegraph ("Here I go!", etc.) when we don't have an official technique name.

TheSilentHero used Substitute! It's super effective! — 20:06, 19 May 2015 (UTC) What about this: Official Name Unofficial Name

TheFifteenthMember Ignoring how these caterpillars uttered what they're trying to say, I do agree. — TheFifteenthMember 20:10, 19 May 2015 (UTC) Kryten: the strategy can refer to the attack using a tag name regardless. The attack doesn't explicitly have to be labelled with that name for the reader to match a description to a pointed name tag. TSH: Even still, the point is not having any unofficial names at all.

I definitely agree on no unofficial names. See Kryten's talk page and my message on it for an idea I had as a potential solution to the problem. - Eternal Nothingness XIII 20:17, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

I don't think gifs will work, because it won't be easy to get good quality ones that can show what the enemy does. I think we should focus on getting the official names from the Ultimania. TheSilentHero 20:36, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm not saying it won't work, but gifs are already as difficult to obtain as they are. I'd rather have the few people who can make gifs concentrate on more prevalent attacks, like limits and commands. Also, yes, preferably we get the names from the Ultimania but we still need to reach a consensus on how to deal with unnamed attacks either as a placeholder until the Ultimania is checked or if the Ultimania doesn't name a particular move.
