The king of fighters & tekken new costume

Posted under Tags

Just like Street Fighter, King of Fighters and Tekken have quite a number of titles, and consequently, I feel there is a significant number of costumes for both male and female characters. It seems necessary to make a distinction.

I will make an effort regarding this matter. Please allow me to do so.

Tekken gets only a few posts per week, and few characters have more than a few hundred posts.

There could be some benefit for some characters, the trouble is categorising all their outfits. All of Kazuya's mains can fairly easily be split between Gi, Trenchcoat, Tux, Formal Vest, and Casual Jeans. Meanwhile Xiaoyu's got a number of different school (T3, BV), casual (T4, T5, T6), and Chinese outfits (T3, T5, T7, T8).

OK I got it.
I will do a lot of research for the next 10 days and put some effort into this.

Is there anything that essentially needs to be corrected here?

vice_(kof)_(xiii_ver.), by its own name, would be equivalent to vice_(kof) the_king_of_fighters_xiii, thus making it redundant. You've not presented why these tags should exist when you can do this search.

In terms of the qualifiers themselves, the copyright qualifier always goes at the end (vice_(xiii_ver.)_(kof)), unless it is something like (cosplay) or (meme). Plus, your chosen qualifier name does not seem to reflect reality, as the case of this Mature post, post #1513915, which you're tagging with "XIII" when the source states it is from XII.

So, if we follow that method, is it okay to create new tags like that? I feel like it is necessary to distinguish between male and female character costumes in Tekken or The King of Fighters, just like in Street Fighter.

There is nothing that suggests it is necessary to make costume tags for any of these games, even with what Kalp said in topic #28159. You can't just say it is necessary and not elaborating on what needs to be distinguished in the first place.

I simply created a similar tag system this time because other works have had similar distinction methods, though it does seem that the distinctions are a bit strict in some titles. Nevertheless, I will stick to it, so please trust me. I have plenty of time right now, so I can invest it to neatly categorize the various costumes. Please let me know how I should do it.

Why on earth are such excessively strict standards applied to costume tags? It is particularly problematic that such criteria exist for fighting games. Of course, it is true that I created the list without properly reading the wiki, but even after that, I focused on modifying tags that looked different from the existing ones, and it is truly sad that all of this has been deleted. I really don't understand what the difference is between a gacha game and a fighting game.

I have read through all your posts on the Street Fighter costume forum, but your standards are far too strict specifically for fighting games, and your logic is completely incomprehensible. Okay, let's assume that is the case for Tekken because there is less data available. However, games like The King of Fighters and Street Fighter clearly have dozens of costumes for each character. I admit that gacha games have far more data, but the tags there are neatly organized by costume, even though some of them seem to have fewer entries than minor fighting game characters. So why is it that only fighting games are treated this way?

I will point out that the thread I pinged you in wasn't a fighting game costume, it was a Pokemon copyright tag costume, which is why it got nuked. And that answers your question, it isn't only fighting games that are treated this way. As I highlighted elsewhere in topic #32523/topic #33754 and forum #390638, Costume Tagging (as in, as it relates to the Costume Tagging Debate, not costume tagging generally) is currently restricted to specific spheres, and there's a general interest in limiting the spread of costume tagging to other spheres because of issues such as maximalist approaches.

And putting that itself, you're clearly not being careful when tagging, with cases like crimson_viper_(outpit_2) (putting aside default costume tagging, you typo'd it without a care), clair_(gsc)_(pokemon) and sabrina_(pokemon_adventures) (which also can be searched just by pairing the character tag with the copyright tag, which is why the latter has been nuked by vote in topic #36093), a.k.i._(street_fighter)_(3rd_costume) (wrong qualifier order which I critiqued you for in forum #439094 already, but also using the wrong name, because "3rd costume" from which game?, forcing me to manually correct it to a.k.i._(outfit_3)_(street_fighter) so that it can be properly in topic #28159), etc. I'd recommend that you make favorite groups instead of tags if you want to propose costume tags instead, and if you need instructions, see here.
