This is really minor, and hardly concerns me, but why is the Shy Guy tag referred to as shyguy? I understand that in previous games, it was sometimes referred to as Shyguys, but they're currently called Shy Guys, so shouldn't the tag be shy_guy?

I've done a little research and it appears that you're correct. I don't really know if there's any point bothering to flip around the tags over that though.

Yeah, it barely concerns me, but it's just if they want to be more correct.

I could go either way. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Same. It doesn't really matter.

having the underscore creates more room for error, like tagging both shy and guy

Yes, but is shy a tag we really use?

General Vakarian, sir; is that not the first (3) letters of your name, sir?!?

Meant to say we might accidentally tag shy or whatever else

Well, if shy was not a tag we used, then it would've been much easier to spot. Not sure about guy, though. Does that alias to something?

probably male. I dunno.

guy

There's chance of error regardless. If they're tagging at all, they probably already know that underscores are used for spaces. Anyway, if they make a mistake, someone will correct it.

Will they?

How often do people think "I wonder if shy has any improperly tagged Shy Guy characters today" and check?

Meh, it's a pretty minor issue, and based on a quick look at shyguy shy it'll probably get tagged from time to time.
