SmashArena.png

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, editors and users, to the Smash Arena! Each week this forum hosts a tussle between two characters, items, stages or anything else from the Super Smash Bros. series! The winner gets, well, nothing. It's more of a poll but functionally, this is a popularity contest. You may vote for your favorite or who you think would win in an competition between the two combatants that round. No, you don't have to vote for the character with strength & power, or the stage considered more "fair", or the combatant with the most fans - just vote if you are a total fanboy of the participant. So what are you waiting for? Get voting! Remember, you don't have to have an account to vote! Though new requests for fights can no longer be made, voting on already existing requests can be done here.

The Rules

  1. When voting, you can give a brief comment on why you voted the way you did, or you can just leave your signature. Long explanations for your vote are discouraged, as they are unnecessary (a vote is worth the same regardless of its reasoning), and they inflate the size of an already large page.
  2. You can vote only once. Any multiple votes will be removed.
  3. Put a # before your vote to facilitate the vote counting.
  4. Type ~~~~ after your vote to sign it, whether you are logged in or not. Using the wrong number of "~"s counts as not signing - your signature must have both your signature itself and the time.
  5. There is a line in each section consisting of "DO NOT ADD COMMENTS OR EDIT ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE". You are to follow this rule; do not just type your vote at the bottom of the editing window. Not following this rule results in your vote being displayed in the wrong place.
  6. Put your vote below other votes; that is, so the votes are in chronological order.
  7. You may change or remove your vote at any time. To do this you must remove your old vote in its entirety; this is an exception to the "never remove comments" rule.
  8. You may vote only in the current fight; all previous fights are closed.
  9. Do not leave a space between your comment and the ones above it (and/or below it). Extra spacing results in the list numbers becoming disjointed.
  10. While previewing an edit of a single section, you will see loose formatting marks (such as a trailing |}). Do not alter or delete them; they are important to the page's construction and take effect only when the entire round is viewed.
  11. If there are multiple fights in a single round, try to make all your votes in a single edit.
  12. Any comments about the fight should be left in the comments section. The following kinds of comments are not allowed:
    • Comments relating to how close or one-sided a matchup is.
    • Comments about other users' opinions. You can point out that a user may have gotten a fact wrong, but you can't say things such as "That's not a good reason" or "But the other guy is better because X". Users can vote for any reason they want; trying to argue with someone's opinion generally has no positive outcome, in addition to simply inflating the comments section of an already large page.

If your vote is not added correctly - specifically, it breaks rules 3, 4, or 5 - you have a short amount of time to fix it (typically between fifteen minutes to an hour). After this time, it may be corrected and moved by any user to the Half-Votes section (adding the unsigned template if necessary), and it will count as half a vote. Users should not fix such broken votes without making them half-votes. Your vote will also be considered a half-vote if your edit causes someone else's valid vote to break one of these rules. Attempting to move your vote out of the Half-Votes section may result in it being worth zero at an operator's discretion.

Multiple votes are not allowed; attempts to circumvent this with sockpuppets will result in your vote being discounted entirely, and is a blockable offense. Probated users who attempt to circumvent their probation with sockpuppets are also committing a blockable offense and will have their vote discounted. Remember that admins have access to CheckUser to check the IPs of any user, and will use it when sockpuppetry is suspected.

Intentional half-votes undermine the intent of the half-vote system as a way to punish voters for voting incorrectly. It is legal to want a vote to be worth half, but it is very heavily discouraged, and you must state in your vote you want it to be worth half. If you put your vote in the half-votes section without stating reasons why you want it there, it is worth zero and may be deleted by any user. You may replace it later should you do it correctly.

Above all, remember that voting in the Smash Arena is a privilege, not a right. In the vein of what SmashWiki is not, you are expected to at least attempt reasonable contributions to the wiki if you wish to retain your privilege to participate.

Samus SSBB.jpg
 Winner!!
undecided

~ to ~
RidleyBrawl.jpg
The classic matchup of ressurection versus revenge. End description.

Votes for Samus

  1. I hate Ridley because everyone wants him in SSB4 and that can't work! Terrible is Terrible 11:01, 10 August 2013 (EDT)
  2. Samus has killed Ridley multiple times. The reverse isn't true. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 11:31, 10 August 2013 (EDT)
  3. Because OT voted for Ridely and thinks he can work in Smash. He has an awkward figure that wouldn't really transition well into smash. Keep him as a boss. DoctorPain99 16:17, 10 August 2013 (EDT)
  4. Super Metroid, anyone? Conny Airconny Snake Sig.png 16:42, 10 August 2013 (EDT)
  5. 198.53.20.219 20:32, 10 August 2013 (EDT)
  6. Ridley is just creeping me out.. because.. that face... and besides does ppl really think that Ridley should be in ssb4? Pfft.. Cobravictim (talk)
  7. I prefer Ridley but I'll vote for Samus cause she always beats Ridley's butt. 198.53.20.219 19:04 11 August 2013

Half-votes

  1. I don't wanna argue with those who think that Ridley could work in SSB4, so I'll just insert my vote and go away.ToonMegaman (talk) 16:54, 10 August 2013 (EDT)
  2. Well....I prefer Ridley but I guess I'll vote for Samus cause she always beats the crud out of Ridley. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.211.34.20 (talk • contribs) 17:36, 10 August 2013 (EDT)

Votes for Ridley

  1. I like Ridley because a bunch of dumb people keep going "RIDLEY IS TOO BIG!" while ignoring how Bowser and Olimar were significantly resized in Smash. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 11:10, 10 August 2013 (EDT)
  2. Space dragons are cool. Scr7Wolfsig.png 11:29, 10 August 2013 (EDT)
  3. 'Cause I don't want the outcome to be obvious, what with the hero always prevailing in the end kind of thing. Also, at least we always see Ridley's face, unlike Samus. 71.105.121.171 11:43, 10 August 2013 (EDT)
  4. Ridley is cool. Boo BuddyHaunter MS.png 12:46, 10 August 2013 (EDT)
  5. I'm voting for Ridley just because of how stupid Terrible's reason is. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 12:57, 10 August 2013 (EDT)
  6. Oh man, this one is close. I never really liked Samus as a fighter, so my vote is for the Pterodactyl-Dinosaur-Space-Monster-Thingy. WashiWashi signature.png 13:03, 10 August 2013 (EDT)
  7. No particular reason, other than I haven't really liked any incarnation of Samus in Smash (besides ZSS) and Ridley's cool. --Timson622222 (talk) 16:00, 10 August 2013 (EDT)
  8. This is enough of a reason alone. DarkFox01DF01Sig.pngI see them up ahead. Let’s rock and roll! 19:05, 10 August 2013 (EDT)
  9. Who doesn't like big and cool space dragons?TheAtomicFire BluePichu.png 10:16, 11 August 2013 (EDT)

Comments

Terrible, that's kind of a stupid reason to not vote for Ridley. Besides, It can work for him to be in SSB4.TheAtomicFire BluePichu.png 10:12, 11 August 2013 (EDT)

Any comments about the fight should be left in the comments section. The following kinds of comments are not allowed:

Votes for Link

  1. Link is the only one of the three to ever obtain the full triforce. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 12:24, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  2. What if all the grunts and screams Link makes are actually him speaking in Hylian? ChuckNorris24.png 12:31, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  3. OoT Link is probably my second favorite speedrunning character behind SM64 Mario. Dots MewtwoMS.png The Ocarina of Time 12:37, 3 August 2013 (EDT)

  5. Who doesn't like Link? He's like, the god of them all. :P -- Conny Airconny Snake Sig.png 13:13, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  6. Ganny D is pretty cool, but Link is literally the essence of an hero! Washi (talk) 13:36, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  7. Link is AWESOME. Ganondorf/Ganon is UGLY. And Zelda sucks in SSBB, IMO. You can see on my userpage. --LavaKirby 17:06, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  8. He`s the hero of hyrule. They`d never survive without him. Besides, I suck with zelda and Ganondorf.TheAtomicFire BluePichu.png 09:14, 4 August 2013 (EDT)
  9. Link, the one and only! The Awesome Awesomesig.png 19:15, 3 August 2013 (EDT)

  11. He is the manliest man alive Boo BuddyHaunter MS.png 14:22, 4 August 2013 (EDT)
  12. The main character of the Zelda series, and the best character of the Zelda series. Can't compete with that.-Kaizer24.185.135.102 23:34, 4 August 2013 (EDT)
  13. Link would destroy the other two!24.185.135.102 10:46, 5 August 2013
  14. Link is awesome!72.74.213.12 14:29, 5 August 2013 (EDT)
  15. Link saves Hyrule, Zelda gets kidnapped and Ganondorf gets his ass kicked. Difficult choice right there. 12:27, August 6 2013ToonMegaman (talk) 12:28, 6 August 2013 (EDT)
  16. Zelda gets kidnapped by Ganondorf, and Link saves Zelda and owns Ganondorf. Do I need to say anything moreCobravictim (talk)
  17. I admire Link's skill at an arsenal of weapons, from magic rods to just a wooden boomerang, this guy uses his equipment to its full potential. Icemario Icemario.png 16:28, 9 August 2013 (EDT)

Half-votes

  1. Link > Ganondorf > Zelda. 'nuff said. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.22.66.166 (talk • contribs) 22:23, August 5 2013 (EDT)

Votes for Zelda

  1. While I usually go with an incarnate of Link for Smash, Zelda's my favorite of the three in her games. JamesJH-Heartless.pngHeart 14:22, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  2. Tough, because a Link is my Brawl main, Zelda is my favourite character of the three (especially her Skyward Sword form), and Ganondorf is one fo the most fun characters in Brawl, if not the most fun. I'll go for Zelda, because the wrong Link is fighting, and evil is bad. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 14:58, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  3. Pity vote. 198.53.20.219 15:22, 4 August 2013 (EDT)
  4. Melee.75.31.4.16 12:04, 5 August 2013 (EDT)
  5. The princess of princess :) I love Zelda... her moveset... well... she's my favorite so I vote for her --Hi I'm Fenix 13:02, 9 August 2013 (EDT)
  6. The princess of hyrule and one of my favorite characters EVER.--Cakeizgud (talk) 17:01, 9 August 2013 (EDT)

Half-votes

  1. 5. Zelda the princess! --Igor The Mii (talk) 20:23, 8 August 2013 (EDT) PK FLASHBOMB!

Votes for Ganondorf

  1. Melee Ganondorf is pretty good. Scr7Wolfsig.png 12:23, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  2. All aboard the Ganon bandwagon! Terrible is Terrible 12:24, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  3. Move over, Bowser! A greater powerhouse is taking over! 67.166.229.4 13:10, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  4. I would pick Link but he's 0/4 in fighting games, always gets beat by his clones and is generally less fun to play as than Ganondorf who has always been one of my favorites. DoctorPain99 13:27, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  5. What Scr7 said. Chuck the Duck (talk) 18:18, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  6. My favorite overall Smash character, and Zelda character, plain and simple. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 03:38, 5 August 2013 (EDT)
  7. Nothing can top the Ganon PunchTM. --HavocReaper48 00:54, 6 August 2013 (EDT)
  8. He's the power.....He's the evil....and for some reason, he turns into a dragon-pig kaiju with dual swords at the end.MegiBeelzebub MegiBeelzebub.png 15:45, 6 August 2013 (EDT)
  9. He was better in Melee than Link and Zelda have been in the entire series. Also ridiculously fun to play in both games, even though he's the worst in Brawl. --Timson622222 (talk) 21:23, 8 August 2013 (EDT)
  10. The corrupt has arrived, and he's not pleased. MegaTron1XDDecepticon.png 15:31, 9 August 2013 (EDT)
  11. Ganondorf is a legitimate classic evil villain; he wants to rule the world, gain power, etc.Vincent Tran SPARKING!Kirby-1.png 15:59, 9 August 2013 (EDT)
