Forums: Index → Smash Arena

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, just vote if you are a total fanboy of the character. So what are you waiting for? Get voting! Remember, you can remain anonymous! If you have any requests for future fights, please feel free to leave a message 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.
2. You can only vote 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 do so; 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. Any comments about the fight should be left in the comment section. However, you are not to post argumentative, accusative, or any sort of comment with the intention of starting an argument with someone on the opposing side. The Smash Arena is a popularity contest, there's no need to argue with the other side on why your choice is superior, or why they are wrong with their reasoning for picking their choice. You are also not to post comments that are just pointing out/complaining how close/one sided a matchup is. These sorts of comments are worthless, and do nothing but make an already large page larger.
8. You may only vote 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).
10. If there are multiple fights in a single round, try to make all your votes in a single edit.

If your vote is not added correctly - that is, it breaks rules 3, 4, or 5 - you have one hour to fix it. After this time, it may be moved by any user to the Half-Votes section (adding the unsigned template if necessary), and it will count as half a vote. Attempting to move your vote out of the Half-Votes section may result in it being worth zero at an operator's discretion. In addition, if your votes-to-rulebreaks ratio climbs too high, your votes may count for zero until the ratio drops to an acceptable level.

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.

Round 104: Luigi vs. Link

File:Luigi.jpg		Winner!! undecided 0 to 0
It's a pair of L-coloured green people on near-opposite ends of the jump ability spectrum and bravery scale. Who gets the verdant victory?

Not Luigi, that's for sure. 71.154.8.28 17:38, 22 September 2011 (EDT) Yeah, Weegee can be funny at times, but he's freaking annoying when I'm brawling, especially during his Final Smash. Takava (talk) 16:38, 23 September 2011 (EDT) LINK, MAH BOI. Luigi (or "WeeGee") is quite likable with his personality, Super Jump/Payday Fire Punch, and 1% damaging Taunt and all, but fighting with (and maining) the bow-bomb-boomerang-wielding swordsman decked in the green Hero's Clothes has gotten me through way more fights and events in the Super Smash Bros. series so far. Not to mention that he also possesses the Triforce of COURAGE, relentlessly vanquishing Ganondorf (as well as Zant and Vaati, among others) time and time again. Plus, he has ties to the very beautiful and hot ladies of Hyrule (Zelda/Sheik, Midna, Ilia, Telma, Ashei, Iza, Hena, etc.), so that's a bonus. AND he can turn into a BA wolf. And 'I liek swords' a lot, to boot. He also flawlessly sheathes his Master Sword and down-stabs enemies with ease, defending himself with the superb Hylian shield, if necessary. Finally, we can't forget Link's awesome punishing finishers, the Hurricane Blade (Spin Attack) and the epic Triforce Slash, both of which seal the deal in Link's favor. SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK! 131.193.3.93 16:46, 23 September 2011 (EDT)
Comments @78.145.97.88 Actually, Captain Falcon already did. By one half vote. >:( --174.59.4.202 07:26, 19 September 2011 (EDT) I'm liking the theme for this match, as well as the various parallels being brought to light in the comments, like in that 'doorknob' comment above (i.e., the courageous Link vs. the frightened Luigi). The comments are amusing as well! 131.193.3.93 16:46, 23 September 2011 (EDT)

Round 103: Pokémon Stadium vs. Pokémon Stadium 2

		Winner!! Pokémon Stadium 17 to 15.5
Two stages that are similar in every way - except for the fact that one's based on fire, water, plants, and stone, whereas the other represents air, electricity, ice, and earth. Which locale is less of a loser?
Votes for Pokémon Stadium Hell yeah Blindcolours Stop smiling, it makes me happy. 19:39, 9 September 2011 (EDT) More fair. Mr. Anon (talk) 20:04, 9 September 2011 (EDT) Less cheap deaths. ƋoӄԏoяΠɛəи99 {ROLLBACKER} 20:39, 9 September 2011 (EDT) First stage I ever played in Melee. Ever. I don't think I even used Pokémon Stadium 2 in Brawl until I played on Pokémon Stadium five or six times. ReiDemon 22:53, 9 September 2011 (EDT) yeah. ..... Ya really wanna look 23:22, 9 September 2011 (EDT) Kidding me? Pokemon Stadium is my favourite Smash stage ever, and as if that wasn't enough, my second favourite piece of video game music ever plays here. --81.156.186.185 07:11, 10 September 2011 (EDT) This stage feels more like Pokémon than the other one. Squishyfrog Chat 12:19, 10 September 2011 (EDT) I like melee better than Brawl, so... --Akirra' says: Meow! =^_^= 14:01, 10 September 2011 (EDT) I play on this stage more often --50.99.198.152 14:34, 10 September 2011 (EDT) stadium 2 is cheap. Floor2000x (talk) 15:18, 10 September 2011 (EDT) Still hasn't gotten old from my childhood.-Ivy73 15:23, 10 September 2011 (EDT) Johto music is enough to satisfy me. --FireEmblemFan275 (talk) 01:36, 11 September 2011 (EDT) This clash is a very tough one; both stages house excellent transformations and music...while I prefer the elements of Pokémon Stadium 1 as they are representative of the traditional types of each region's starter Pokémon, the elements of Fire and Water were poorly showcased in practice and just felt like bland terrain alterations. However, Pokémon Stadium 2 does look much prettier, with slightly cooler transformation icons and background Pokémon (plus a supposed Easter Egg!); the transformations actually make sense in correlation to their types (i.e., ELECTRIC-powered conveyor belt, ICY terrain). Both also feature arrangements of the classic "Pokémon Main Theme". Yet only one has the awesome medley of tracks from Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal (2nd Generation), which sways my vote thusly! =D 131.193.13.53 04:11, 12 September 2011 (EDT) --HavocReaper48 15:18, 12 September 2011 (EDT) this has T3H PH1RE.

James<3 (talk) 19:08, 10 September 2011 (EDT)			Votes for Pokémon Stadium 2 The Flying tier is fun. Next, there'll be Pokémon Stadium 3 with Dark (Very Dark), Steel (High Gravity), Bug (Anthill to the left) and Dragon (Oriental statue with platforms) tiers! ToastUltimatum Complaints Box 19:46, 9 September 2011 (EDT) The changing stages here actually effect the fight with conveor belts and fans and the like. More fun. --174.59.4.202 22:45, 9 September 2011 (EDT) I liked that there were background Pokemon in this stage. 110.174.90.69 23:07, 9 September 2011 (EDT) Pokemon Stadium (not this one) doesn't have any special changes on the stage 206.53.148.144 01:09, 10 September 2011 (EDT) This stadium represents cooler elements, looks cooler has pokemon cameos, and has a secret easter egg inside the ice hut. Mastersword (talk) 01:47, 10 September 2011 (EDT) I prefer this one. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 04:11, 10 September 2011 (EDT) The change is somewhat more massive (-O-)Lucas-IV- pikaaaa 07:21, 10 September 2011 (EDT) The Elements are better Cherrim98 (talk) 12:55, 10 September 2011 (EDT) I used to not really like this stage, and saw the transformation as dreadful. However, after giving it a chance, I have come to really like this stage. Its matchup balance is probably the best of any stage in Brawl, it doesn't have weird ledges like Pokemon Stadium, and its transformations actually aren't as bad as Pokemon Stadium's. Pokemon Stadium 2 has rather bland music compared to Pokemon Stadium, but that is easily fixable with music hacks. Omega Tyrant 18:21, 10 September 2011 (EDT) I get more enjoyment from the transformations of this stage. 66.222.171.225 23:56, 10 September 2011 (EDT) Transformation including specials! (Excluding Ground or Rock or whatever) Kirbythe Amazing Know my power! 04:46, 11 September 2011 (EDT) I've played it more. 68.174.11.29 08:08, 11 September 2011 (EDT) I'm back! Per all. --107.5.57.137 12:59, 11 September 2011 (EDT) Appears more futuristic to me. Melee is ancient history. 98.242.123.228 22:58, 11 September 2011 (EDT) Pkmn stadium 2 looks a lot better than the original one. There are actual background pokemon and stages that affect gameplay. Do you see any of that in stadium 1? Nope. Kopykirby26 (talk) 15:57, 16 September 2011 (EDT) Half-Votes I just like the types in Stadium 2 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.97.238.229 (talk • contribs) 17:32, 10 September 2011 (EDT)
Comments Note to User:110.174.90.69: that's apparently a point of contention about whether they are Pokemon or really pixelated people. Mr. Anon (talk) 00:51, 10 September 2011 (EDT) No I meant the actual 3D Pokemon that appear when the stadium changes, like in the Ice-type area there's Snorunt and Snover. 110.174.90.69 01:00, 10 September 2011 (EDT) Swadloon we voted the same again Cherrim98 (talk) 12:58, 10 September 2011 (EDT) Grass-type instincts. Though in my teams, I'm primarily Ground-based. ToastUltimatum Complaints Box 13:23, 10 September 2011 (EDT) I don't think this is worthwhile discussion on the comments. There is a 50% probability of you two voting the same, so it isn't something necessary to note. Mr. Anon (talk) 16:48, 10 September 2011 (EDT) This is simply to close for me. I might have chosen Stadium 2 since it was the first stage I played Brawl on, but I like the first one, too. No vote for me. 25T16 File:HitboxEffect(Flame).png It’s a me! 09:39, 11 September 2011 (EDT) HOLY SHIT THIS IS CLOSE! Mr. Anon (talk) 15:28, 12 September 2011 (EDT) Remember what rule #7 says, don't post comments that are just commenting on how close the match is. Omega Tyrant 20:57, 12 September 2011 (EDT)
