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.
      • Similarly, avoid writing votes that may invite an argument. Stating your opinion is fine, but don't make it easy for others to see it as goading.

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. Other users should not fix such broken votes without also 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 (and subsequently deleted) at an operator's discretion.

Multiple votes in a round are not allowed; attempts to circumvent this with sockpuppets will result in all your votes being deleted, 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.

Round 211: Dr. Mario vs. Young Link

Dr. Mario SSBM.jpg
 Winner!!
Dr. Mario
Dr. Mario SSBM.jpg

17 to 15
Young Link SSBM.jpg
Two clones that see more tournament success than their originals and didn't get to appear in more than one game. Does the extra speed or extra power make the difference?

Votes for Dr. Mario

  1. Always liked him more. He's "better" anyway. c: Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 09:56, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  2. The fist. Also, Shroomed. Also, I find Dr. Mario to be much much more interesting to watch at high level play, while Armada v.s. Hungrybox as Young Link is campy as hell. I also like playing as Doc better, so why not? --Timson622222 (talk) 15:54, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  3. I'm sick and need a doctor. And how is Young Link different from Link? SeanWheeler (talk) 16:34, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  4. Dr. Mario is actually my favorite melee character. I always unlock him first.--Pichu+Pichu (talk) 17:17, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  5. I have no idea how Young Link is higher tiered than Link.71.118.248.217 18:02, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  6. Because: Nurse Peach, Megavitamins, high tier placement, the series' only reverse sex kick, awesome headgear, a swaggin'-ass Taunt, and that sweet, sweet Fist... :3 Oasidu (talk) 23:51, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  7. And both are clones of my mains. Dr. Mario is closer to Mario than Young Link is to Toon Link, so I guess I'm voting this way. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatum 16:38, 4 November 2013 (EST)
  8. Meh. I just prefer Doc. MarioGalaxy (talk) 13:56, 5 November 2013 (EST)
  9. For some reason, seems less of a clone to me.TheAtomicFire BluePichu.png 17:51, 6 November 2013 (EST)
  10. Young Link is the character I play the worst as in Melee. 86.153.101.92 04:50, 8 November 2013 (EST)
  11. Dr. Mario was so good they had to take him out of Brawl, whereas Young Link got cloned again! Jellybeanman (talk) 17:37, 8 November 2013 (EST)
  12. Dr. Mario and Link are similar; they are (obviously) better than Mario and Young Link, respectively (and they can both juggle better, LOL). Go Dr. Mario! Requiem fo Ice (talk) 20:15, 8 November 2013 (EST)
  13. Dr. Mario is higher tier. Plus, I've always been more familiar with the Mario series. So, Dr. M gets my vote.108.203.57.231 23:21, 9 November 2013 (EST)
  14. I like the Mario universe better than the Link universe. 24.55.13.140 19:52, 10 November 2013 (EST)
  15. Time for your daily medication! 76.19.111.57 17:46, 11 November 2013 (EST)
  16. Dr. Mario kicks, like, multiple asses. Vuela Vuela, baby talk 21:26, 11 November 2013 (EST)
  17. He's my main, the games are great, and Dr. Mario is just a funny concept. --MMAI.pngMeMyselfAndI 11:47, 14 November 2013 (EST)

Votes for Young Link

  1. The Hero of Time is overpowered in speedruns, he can even beat Ganon with a pointed stick. :P Dots MewtwoMS.png The G-Man 10:19, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  2. 75.156.151.217 12:34, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  3. Dr. Mario The Plumber is not my main on melee, young link the elf is. --Igor The Mii (talk) 19:30, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  4. He's way more important in Nintendo's history than Doc. Sloth (I am NOT Sloth) 20:23, 2 November 2013 (EDT)

  9. This song is so soothing. ChuckNorris24.png 21:03, 5 November 2013 (EST)
  10. Fire arrows! --Dinoboy411 (talk) 21:25, 10 November 2013 (EST)

Comments

Young Link and Dr.Mario are both SUPER clones. But (this time,) I prefer speed over strength.EpicLuigiDude (talk) 07:40, 3 November 2013 (EST)

There's a decent chance I won't be capable of uploading a new round this week, just so you know. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Awesome 08:36, 8 November 2013 (EST)

Dr. Mario is quite the challenge when playing against someone. Requiem fo Ice (talk) 20:20, 8 November 2013 (EST)

The comments section is probably not the place to post your opinions. Creating another forum about it is probably the better place. Dots (talk) MewtwoMS.png The Kirby 20:24, 8 November 2013 (EST)
Ah, okay. I will actually change it, then. Thanks for informing me. Requiem fo Ice (talk) 20:28, 8 November 2013 (EST)

@Requiem of Ice: Young Link is actually ranked higher than Link on the tier list... Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 06:03, 9 November 2013 (EST)

That was a terrible mistake. I see NOTHING that could make Young Link better than Link. Sure, Young Link may be faster and smaller, but that's just it, nothing else from my POV. Requiem fo Ice (talk) 12:47, 9 November 2013 (EST)
I see that it's your opinion though. By the way, Smash Arena isn't for arguments, so we shouldn't continue this. I was just pointing it out Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 12:49, 9 November 2013 (EST)
Of course; I did get a bit carried away. Requiem fo Ice (talk) 13:07, 9 November 2013 (EST)
imo I think that YL is higher because of Armada and Axe mostly, not much else (lack of representation is what brings Link down) --Timson622222 (talk) 16:52, 9 November 2013 (EST)
Well, lack of representation shouldn't really be what makes a character good or bad; it should/always is how people play the characters. Also, have you heard of CCDJMC (crouch cancelled double jump momentum cancel) or anything like that?Requiem fo Ice (talk) 19:38, 9 November 2013 (EST)

Not to be offensive or anything but I noticed that there are five votes to Young Link that appear quite similar to each other. I can tell because those five users all wrote down "Young Link <insert compliment>." and they all didn't space their signature from their comment text where usually users do space them. Whether it is to inflate the votes to Young Link's side or something, it's suspicious. Dots (talk) MewtwoMS.png The Metal Gear REX 19:01, 11 November 2013 (EST)

Not to mention, all the usernames appear to be one-word red links. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) 22:16, 11 November 2013 (EST)

Whoever casted votes 12, 13, 14, 16, and 17 for Young Link, please read SW:SOCK. Thanks. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) 22:12, 11 November 2013 (EST)

Would've been better to report suspected sockpuppetry on the admin noticeboard. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Brass 22:19, 11 November 2013 (EST)

When is the new battle coming up? It's already Monday night! FireMario1534 (talk) 07:45, 11 November 2013 (EST)

Calm down dude. Didn't you just see the post that Toomai said that there is a chance that he won't be be uploading a new round this week? People sometimes need a break from things they always do. Dots (talk) MewtwoMS.png The Justice 22:51, 11 November 2013 (EST)
