Talk:Luffy's Powers

Needs
I don't know how to go about this page, so here is a beginning effort. Needed on this page:


 * A few of the attacks (see below)
 * Picture of some of the attacks.
 * References from both chapters and SBS.
 * Anything else to make the page encyclopedic.

This page was created on Oct. 15,2006. It is still a start and requires expansion. Do not delete it too early. It is not Fancruft, it is an article in the similar lines of Powers and abilities of Superman.

Yeah I got lazy and basically copied this from Franky's schemtics page. Excuse my sinfulness... I got lazy. Angel Emfrbl 16:01, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Ack! I've set it up as we've planned to do for each characters and already someone wants to delete it. Not a happy camper.  Please to anyone thinking about deleteing this page:  Give us a few days to a week to work and discuss this page... REALLY.  'AfD'ing a page isn't the only way of dealing with a page.  I'll be disappointed and have less faith in wikipedia and some of its memebers if this is just deleted before we've had a chance to work on it.  Angel Emfrbl 16:23, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I've encountered a few problems with this page:
 * Unlike Franky's page, everything isn't a simple 'this part does that'.
 * Adding attacks and so forth will make this fancruft.
 * This is a weak article without Attacks.


 * These are not the only ones... There are others, but those are the main 3 problems. We either need to abandon our plan to do a page like Franky's Schemetics page for each of the characters, or seriously reconsider how to go about it.  We don't want fancruft or listcruft right?

Attacks
How do we handle these, seriously? We are suppose to be avoiding a massive attacks page again, but I don't see how we can do that. We can put a few of the common ones I suppose but beyond that... We can't add too many. Angel Emfrbl 15:50, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Ara? I thought we already decided on the course of action--leave the attacks in the Wikia, and once the pages have been cleaned up and made pretty and all that, a link to it will be provided on the One Piece page, like the link to wikiquotes. Oh, and for the record, I'm for merging this article with Monkey D. Luffy again. I'll be testing out a new format on the wikia, and if it works then maybe a dumbed down version could be applied here.Sigmasonic X 18:15, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Necessity of this page
Can this just be merged back already? It hasn't been expanded, and looks really pointless. There seems to be no room for expansion either. It doesn't take up space on the main page, so it's just really pointless for it to have its own. Nemu 20:09, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

i'm for merging. it was pointless to split it up in the first place imho. - Hyper_Megaman


 * We need a bigger discussion to make the two articles get merged again. Two people saying yes (one of which being a non-registered/new user thus having no real pulling weight in such a wikipedia argument) won't get it merged.  We need at least 5 or 6.  With all the difficulties experienced with this page... I'm at a neutral stance with it right now.


 * Get some people to support a merge and it can happen. :/ Angel Emfrbl 20:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


 * dude i was the one who practically wrote the entire gear 2 and gear 3 section. who split it in the first place anyway? how many people supported the split? --Hyper megaman 04:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Gear 2 Clarification

 * Hey. I'd just like to point out that using Gear 2 in succession doesn't diminish from Luffy's overall performance using the technique; Lucci's comments regarding Luffy's weakening was a direct reference to the damage Luffy sustained from Rokuougan. 68.189.82.81 03:48, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

It does, and it makes sense too, seeing how he needs to eat meat to recover after using gear 2 against blueno. It shows that he does use up tremendous amounts of food in gear 2 form, and such a thing would be logical. This, imho, was what lucchi was talking about - Hyper_Megaman
