Broken Shuriken prevents loading of Melee Skills

 
 
When the shuriken is broken, Close Combat skills cannot be used.
 

 

Isn't that only true for Smash and Assault Slash? Nothing happens when loading them and no message is displayed. But with a broken shuriken I can load and use Defense, Counterattack, and Windmill just fine.

pluralization

So, I checked Wikipedia, and THEIR whole page uses "shuriken" as the pluralization for shuriken (which sounds better) as opposed to "shurikens" which is technically correct, but reads and sounds awkward. Nexon has avoided pluralizing shuriken at every opportunity, except when pluralizing the item "Starblade Shuriken", where they appropriately use "Starblade Shurikens" since it is a named item instead of a general term.

You could probably do it either way like with cactuses, cacti, and just cactus all being correct plural forms. Who knows how it works anymore. If we wanna be extra correct we could call them throwing stars, but that's surely out. So, I think it's all good with shurikens or shuriken, but I see lots of people ingame saying shurikens, so we could take that into consideration as well.

We also have a skill here named "Doppleganger" in-game, but someone was too upset with this since it's "Doppelganger" properly, and we use the proper version instead of what's in-game, so that's really nothing to go by. Personally if we're gonna go that route, I think it should be "Shuriken."

The doppelganger talk page looks more like they just never got around to changing it to doppleganger to me, or just didn't feel like it.

I could agree with that. Every form of "shuriken" on that page otherwise pluralizes it without the S..

I think I got most of the basic things changed from "Shurikens" to "Shuriken"
