Removal of a line

[edit]

I'm considering removing this line because it's both logically inconsistent and a bit at odds with the sentence that mentions his Sumerian origins:

  • Zasalamel's place of birth is not really known, but since most of his techniques are named after Babylonian gods, it's safe to assume he comes from the Babylonian period.

I would suggest another solution: Take out the Sumerian part of his profile (there's no official confirmation of his origin, that's a speculation) and add that he could be of either Sumerian or Babylonian origins. What do you think? (Johnny Master 06:16, 17 April 2006 (UTC)).[reply]

Well, the Sumerian part is still in the bio... and someone has added it into the his profile stats, as his original birthplace. Like mentioned above, Namco did not state the birthplace of his original incarnation (or any of his other lives). As far as anything goes, Zasalamel's origins are unconfirmed, as is Tira's (who also has some speculation around her origins). If anything, Zasalamel's speculated origins should go into his "trivia" section (like Tira's speculated origins. Before someone edited all the character articles of SC, it did have rumors that she's Scandenavian or German, but it was in the "trivia" section).

Character analysis

[edit]

I recently did the Character Analysis for Zasalamel, drawing heavily on what was said in the Zasalamel Soul Arena forum as well as on my own experiences. As usual, these things are subjective, I appreciate any corrections to take the general consensus more into account, but I believe I've done a decent job at starting it. -- Solberg 22:51, 19 December 2005 (UTC)Solberg[reply]

I agree. It sounds as professional as the rest of the other SC articles. One qualm, however, "whoring" is not meant for encyclopediac articles... Save that language for the forums, my friend. :) -MegamanZero|Talk 23:25, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, that's what I thought too. Ok, I'll edit that out. -- Solberg 23:26, 19 December 2005 (UTC)Solberg[reply]

Input/No-input?

[edit]

This article describes an Input Ending and a No-Input Ending. What does that mean? What sort of input are we talking about? From the outside perspective of someone who has never played Soul Caliber III, it is totally meaningless and it should be explained somewhere in the article. -- Lilwik 07:54, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, what it means is during the ending cinema in the game for every character a black box comes up in the corner of the screen with buttons in it. If you press the buttons prompted before the black box dissappears, the ending is changed from the original. For example, if you hit the buttons when prompted during zasalamel's ending, you will get the "imput ending" -- the more happier ending to his story where he records a record of his lives for the ages and then waits to achieve final death. It is worthy to note that just by pressing the buttons when prompted does not make the ending a "happy ending" and failing to do so makes it a "bad ending". It differs on the character; some characters have good endings imput or not, others have all bad endings imput or not. others have strange, neither good nor bad endings either way. all pressing the buttons does is give you the alternate ending. As for how what I just stated is to be added to the text is beyond me; one would either have to paste it on every page for clarification, or (my opinion) delete the entire section of "endings". It's just a bunch of spoilers, and there should be a spoiler warning if it is to be left in the text, but I think it would be much easier just to delete the sections. alot of it is OR and spoilers, and its not worth it to add the definition of an imput and non imput ending to every single page. 24.15.53.225 22:44, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Zasalamel vs. Abyss area?

[edit]

I just noticed that the area where Zasalamel battles Abyss at the end isn't included. Does anyone know what it's called and the description?--Unknownsage13 01:50, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The stage simply has a generic designation seen only in the game's level selection menu. Something like "Unknown Arena" or "Lost Dimension", I can't recall off the top of my head. Anybody with a copy of the game and a working PS2 would be able to easily find the information (it's the level with the floating meteors and nebula background), but unfortunately I currently lack the latter. If nobody has found it by this Sunday (Aug 5), I should be able to check at a friend's house. 24.187.52.42 04:17, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:SC3Abyss.jpg

[edit]

Image:SC3Abyss.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Gameplay

[edit]

Okay, this is pretty much just like the old character analysis section from before. I'm removing these for the same reason people from before deleted the character analysis section. If you want to find out why, check out Taki's and Kilik's talk pages. If people want a strategy guide, they should go to fansites. Mythmonster2 (talk) 06:33, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New York City?

[edit]

'400 years later Zasalamel is a successful billionaire in New York City in the United States', where is this information from, other than the 400 years? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.126.71.176 (talk) 21:54, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
