Match description

With respect to this revert: Maplestrip, I'm not going to get into a lengthy argument here, but I stand but what I said in my edit summary. As written, it reads like fancruft; not least because it is utterly incomprehensible to anyone who doesn't play that particular game, and because unlike any game descriptions that I would expect to see in articles about more orthodox sports, I cannot see how any of that prose could be objectively written.

@Vanamonde93: Thanks for bringing this to the talk page. Do you think this is an improvement? I definitely do believe a description of the finals that isn't just boring numbers ("won the match 3-1") and character picks improves the article, but it is useless if it is incomprehensible to people not familiar with Street Fighter. I hope I made it a bit clearer and more objective in this edit. ~Mable (chat) 21:35, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Maplestrip: My feeling of distaste for that entire paragraph remains, but since that's a bit of a personal quibble I'll drop that. "However, using unique quirks of Birdie that are difficult to anticipate," is, however, still gobbledegook to me. Vanamonde (talk) 15:13, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
