Talk:Flip the Fox

Things to address prior to approval

Agility

Be sure to specify what about his agility gives him a 5 star rating. See the agility section of the star ratings.

For example, looking at it, I pick up that he got 2 stars for his extreme agility. This is obvious. However, what are the other 3 stars? Flexibility is one, I'd guess (though it isn't explicitly mentioned), but the rest I'm uncertain of. Is it high jumping, or really high jumping, or the ability to change direction in midair with his ears, or... you get the picture. Flesh that sucka' out.

Strength

I don't remember what we decided on regarding this before, but, nowadays, the strength rating is more focused on arms and stuff, so it'd be advised that you make the rating reflect that, then allow the text to indicate that his ears are capable of more. Reason being, I don't want any skim-reading dumbo to instantly think 1.5 stars = horribly weak, when it truly doesn't. Zero is "horribly weak."

Resilience

Either the phrasing understates his resilience, or the stars overstate it. According to the star ratings, a 0 star rating is "Frail, or simply fragile," while 1 star is "Athletic human-like durability. More muscular, generally tougher." I'm not against him having 1 star resilience, or even higher, so you're more than welcome to go with it, just make sure that the text matches it. Otherwise, crank those stars down.

And that's it. Besides those minor phrasing things in the star ratings, it's ready to roll. Oh, but about his one badge... I think I need to make a badge for people who've merely "met Sonic," 'cause to be honest, I doubt he remembers who Flip is after just that one very brief encounter...

But yeah. Looks good. I'll slap an approved tag on it as soon as the star ratings (or descriptions for the ratings) are tweaked to their final state. Rock on.
