 *Even more importantly, we need to decide <u>which</u> moves will have glass-breaking status. The article currently makes kicks break glass. Presumably we want to re-think this for the AE. What about special moves, should they always break glass? If kicks are strong enough to break glass, what about weapon-wielding melee moves? That one, in particular, makes sense to me. Using a pistol or a rifle to break glass seems like a reasonable (and cool!) idea to me.
 :Agreed. [[User:Gumby|Gumby]]
 *The next section simply mentions that the Scram Cannon's missiles should be breaking glass. Okay... so what can we do about it? I do think it belongs in this article, not in another one, but in either place, let's address how to fix it. Ought to be really simple, right?
 :We can add a glassbreaking effect to it. Should it explode on impact or fly through without detonating?

Iritscen: enumerating just how badly this page needs TLC

enumerating just how badly this page needs TLC

New page

Okay, what I think we need to see from this AE:Glass page is something geared towards the current AE. It's quite outdated at the moment. There's a lot of points here, because (IMO) the page really needs that much work. I know we all have other things to do, but if whoever has the knowledge can gradually fix one item at a time, it would really be appreciated, because I can't see the AE's glass mods getting done without this page being updated. Feel free to respond to the points below, some of them might require discussion. --[[User:Iritscen|iritscen]] 18:03, 22 November 2008 (CET)
