Talk:Slapdash
Can the Hoodlums that run with a glove in the tip of a wooden bar in the portable version of Rayman 3 be considered as Slapdashes? Or Grim Keepers but with a Slapdash weapon? --

- I don't remember the enemies you're describing. Do you have any screenshots? —Spiraldoor

- I know what she's talking about. Check the video at the bottom of this page. I think those Hoodlums should either be put into both pages or made into a lifeless edit at the bottom of the Hoodlum page. This would also give a good home to that Siamese-Hoodlum. --iHeckler9

I'm not sure how to name these specific Hoodlums from the portable Rayman 3 because they have the visual of an "x" Hoodlum type, but they use attack/defense tecniques from "y" Hoodlum types. Would we go for the visual representation or the weapons used? --Haruka 19:45, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
- Probably the attacks. Both are remeniscent of Grim Keepers, but they both have completely different attacks. --iHeckler9 19:55, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
- Something tells me we should go for the visuals. I go by this example: If a F1 pilot runs with a F1 car it doesn't mean he cannot drive a normal car or a bike. --Haruka 19:56, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
- Too late; I already moved some stuff. --iHeckler9 19:59, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
- I don't see what the confusion is about. Those look like different-coloured Slapdashes to me. —Spiraldoor 20:00, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
- You should look well: it is clearly a Grim Keeper (his clothes and the "half-coconut helmet"). Conclusion: Hoodlums do not stick to their main battle strategies. --Haruka 20:04, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
- That's a fairly extreme conclusion. I think it's just a Slapdash with a slightly different look. —Spiraldoor 20:12, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
- I can guarantee you that around 90% of the Grim Keepers colours when compared with the in-game R3 (GBA) and the official artwork are equal. Your thoughts are more correct about the Hoodbooms, especially a specific Hoodboom that uses a metal shield. --Haruka 20:16, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

- As I said earlier, I think there should be separate articles (or at least separate sections) for those enemies. While those throwing explosive bottles of plum juice at Rayman could be referred to as Armoured Hoodbooms, I would tend to privilege the appellation Armoured Slapdashes for those wielding the sticks with boxing gloves, since their resemblance to Grim Keepers is purely visual. I think this should settle the problem. — 21:38, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
