CVG To-do:

Typing in the search term "legend of stafy" doesn't bring up this page. It's very strange. Something should be done about this. Also...the alternate spellings for Stafy (Stafi, Starfy, and Starfi) should all redirect to the main Stafy page. --Liquidcross 20:53, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Fixed! Now people should be able to find this page a lot easier. :) --Liquidcross 23:50, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The correct spelling

It's official now: Starfy. [1] Please modify article accordingly. - Stormwatch 20:30, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

I saw this; the guy who handled that interview is a friend of mine. However, TOSE has never flatly stated that Starfy is the official spelling; not only that, other Gamasutra interviews with TOSE use "Stafy," as do the game sites' URL paths and such. --Liquidcross 22:46, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Let's wait for the release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, because Nintendo's starfish has a very high chance at entering, and then they'll reveal his official name in English. --Parrothead1983 1:01, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Where'd you hear this??? That's great news, if it turns out to be true. --Liquidcross 19:08, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Nowhere, but I know that the Legend of Stafy franchise is so popular in Japan, which makes Stafy have a very high chance at entering. Check the contribution list on the Japanese Smash Bros. Dojo website. Parrothead1983 13:16, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Got a link?--Liquidcross 15:39, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Right here. --Parrothead1983 13:16, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, Mr. Sakurai has stated that he doesn't really want to use characters that are only popular in Japan. However, the inclusion of Roy and Marth was a smart move for Melee. Including Stafy in Brawl would not only be a fun little addition, it may even prompt a stateside release for the series. That would be awesome. Unknown Shadow 23:18, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Nintendo might be planning to add Japan-Only NES/Famicom, SNES/Super Famicom, and N64 titles to the Virtual Console, while they might also add some protagonists from those titles in Super Smash Bros. Brawl to advertise inside and outside of Japan. Protagonists from Game Boy/Color/Advance, Nintendo DS, and Arcade titles that are Japan-Only have the lowest chance at entering Super Smash Bros. Brawl, because there is no Virtual Console for a portable Nintendo handheld nor a Nintendo arcade. The reason why Nintendo didn't release any of the Legend of Stafy titles outside of Japan, is because TOSE wants to hide themselves "behind the scenes", but will they let Stafy enter Super Smash Bros. Brawl either as a playable character and as a trophy both, just as a trophy alone, or neither? --Parrothead1983 13:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
