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, or the stage considered more "fair", 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! 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. 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 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). 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 only take effect 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 along the lines of "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 rather long 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. Attempting to move your vote out of the Half-Votes section may result in it being worth zero at an operator's discretion.

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 127: Ike vs. Olimar

		Winner!! undecided 0 to 0
One fights for his friends, the other fights with his friends. Which commander will emerge victorious?
Votes for Ike Sothe. Your argument is irrelevant. --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 00:08, 25 February 2012 (EST) Olimar: (watches as Pikmin spirits float away); Ike: "You'll get no sympathy from me. MeleeMarth01Minna, miteite edit! 00:18, 25 February 2012 (EST) as much as I dislike Ike, the other is really pathetic without an army of pikmin.Drakon64 00:21, 25 February 2012 (EST) Though Pikmin 2 was one of the best games for the GCN, Ike is a main in Brawl. MegaTron1XD 00:47, 25 February 2012 (EST) Pikmin may be strong as an army, but they're not nearly durable enough to survive a sword slash. 110.174.90.69 09:12, 25 February 2012 (EST) WE LIKE IKE! YoshiEggs 09:45, 25 February 2012 (EST) I can control Ike better and me and my friend are always Ike in Brawl. GREAT AETHER!!!!!(Plus in the first cutscene with Olimar, the Pikimin are dancing on a gigantic ROB. Pathetic.)99.235.62.184 11:14, 25 February 2012 (EST) He risks his own life rather than risking others (in this game at least). 204.191.136.150 12:20, 25 February 2012 (EST) "Ike is my favorite character in ssbb. because he rocks especially when I uses he's final smash."Smash X 5432 (talk) 18:19, 25 February 2012 (EST) I have a love-hate relationship with him, I love playing as him for fun, but hate playing against him!Yoshirocks341 19:14, 25 February 2012 (EST) "I'm the only Playboy in this game!" LightningBlue: Need to Balance 20:49, 25 February 2012 (EST)			Votes for Olimar Olimar is a better leader in my opinion. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 00:37, 25 February 2012 (EST) Olimar is my main. Specifically the Blue colouration, Similarimar. And out of each of these guys' merceneries, which are the real troopers? Toast ltimatum 07:19, 25 February 2012 (EST) Pikmin 2 is my favorite game of all time. And I am no longer in the middle of a playthrough of Path of Radiance, so Olimar's got the vote. --174.59.4.202 10:25, 25 February 2012 (EST) Olimar has a great leadership with Pikmin and can probably defeat anything. And he is a HIGHER TIER. Ike is my least favorite character in Brawl and he's shows off too much just because he's popular. How good you are is determined by character like Olimar, not by showing off. ..... The Baneling 10:47, 25 February 2012 (EST) anyone that can enslave an entire alien race is awesome. Floor2000x (talk) 11:37, 25 February 2012 (EST) Brawl-wise, Ike wins. Game-wise, Olimar wins. --Fan275 12:48, 25 February 2012 (EST) I play as "the plant guy" more often than I play as Ike, which is still very little. That, and I know more about his games. 123JamesHeart 20:24, 25 February 2012 (EST) This is for last time, Ike should not have beat Meta Knight.184.7.173.62 21:03, 25 February 2012 (EST)
Comments Well somebody has been watching too much Smash Taunts huh?Drakon64 00:23, 25 February 2012 (EST)

Round 126: Koopa Troop vs. R.O.B. Squad

		Winner!! Koopa Troop 18 to 8
Bowser's goons face off against the artificial lifeforms of the Isle of Ancients. Which army triumphs?
Votes for Koopa Troop I love these guys. 204.191.136.150 00:12, 18 February 2012 (EST) I like to jump on these guys. THEAVENGINGBANDIT 01:06, 18 February 2012 (EST) Mario. Enough said. The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 05:20, 18 February 2012 (EST) Old barely functioning robots< Awesome Turtles Of SmashDrakon64 08:30, 18 February 2012 (EST) Because I made the Koopa Troop article Because they're adorable! Plus, R.O.B. Launchers are annoying. Toast ltimatum 08:51, 18 February 2012 (EST) I've always been a huge fan of the Mario games. MeleeMarth01Minna, miteite edit! 10:52, 18 February 2012 (EST) Jump on them and they become a usefull green shell! Plus when you stomp a paratroopa their wings fall, then they!99.235.62.184 11:22, 18 February 2012 (EST) ..... The Smiles and Tears 11:45, 18 February 2012 (EST) Hammer bros., goombas, koopa troopas? What's more to love??? LightningBlue: Need to Balance 11:52, 18 February 2012 (EST) GO GO KOOPA TROOP!YoshiEggs 15:18, 18 February 2012 (EST) The R.O.B. squad have virtually no free will and are forced to detonate Subspace Bombs on Ganondorf's command. Even though the Koopa Troop are under Bowser's command, they still have free will so they're not limited to certain actions. 110.174.90.69 20:25, 18 February 2012 (EST) I can't smash you like badniks, but you're just as much fun to jump on! (That comes from a Sonic the Hedgehog comic. Very fitting right now.)174.20.246.52 20:36, 18 February 2012 (EST) Generally harder to beat imo. Mr. Anontalk 22:36, 18 February 2012 (EST) ROBs are just so generic, Koopa Troops have nice pallets.69.234.197.219 22:41, 18 February 2012 (EST) Come on, these guys are classics! Yoshirocks341 09:28, 19 February 2012 (EST) The Koopa Troop is unstoppable...Unless you're Mario or Luigi. 9:50,19 Feburary 2012 Super Mario! --Fan275 15:51, 19 February 2012 (EST) Yeah, no contest. 67.173.145.76 21:12, 19 February 2012 (EST)			Votes for R.O.B. Squad Robots. Your argument is irrelevant. --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 00:28, 18 February 2012 (EST) HAIL BLECK!...Wait, what? 123JamesHeart 15:30, 18 February 2012 (EST) Pity vote. I mean really, you gotta feel bad for these guys. They end up dying for evil maniacs and well, they all die in the end anyway. So what about the koopa troop? nothing really. Kopykirby26 (talk) 12:15, 19 February 2012 (EST) Don't really have a clue how a bunch of turtles can trump these guys. YOU'RE FIRED. Takava (talk) 00:02, 20 February 2012 (EST) Those troopas get really annoying when you're just trying to speed through a level for one secret door at the end or something, ROBs don't really get in your way. Plus, I feel sorry for how they're being used. Unlike the troopas, who are obviously just stupid or something to keep coming back for more anyway.184.7.175.220 18:20, 20 February 2012 (EST) I feel bad for these guys. 199.185.67.18 11:03, 21 February 2012 (EST) Er, what ROB Squad votes #1 and #5 said. Plus, while ROB Squad members can be obstacles at times, they're not nearly as annoying as the nefarious Koopa Troopa nuisances. Although admittedly, the Koopa Troopa are quite fun to jump on, what with their shells whizzing about this way and that and slamming into other foes. And the names of both of these groups are fun/awesome to say aloud. XD 72.3.33.4 15:49, 23 February 2012 (EST) R.O.B. is the definiton of cool. BlindColours 16:12, 23 February 2012 (EST)
Comments I don't think the Banana cargo picture is proper for the Koopa troop. ..... The Smiles and Tears 00:16, 18 February 2012 (EST) I didn't have enough time to create a proper image. Toomai Glittershine The Bold 08:56, 18 February 2012 (EST) I replaced the Cargo image with a more appropriate one. Mousehunter321 (talk · contributions) 22:00, 23 February 2012 (EST) I vote for Subspace Army; i see no reason why there are 2 sets of series specific grunts, and not more? (and why are there 2 third party characters and not ZERO LIKE THERE SHOULD BE!?!?!) PokémonUltimateLet's Play! 03:21, 18 February 2012 (EST) Don't worry. Zero will be in SSB4. If not by inclusion, then by custom creation.Drakon64 08:32, 18 February 2012 (EST) I don't think Pokémonultimate was referring to the character Zero -__- Toast ltimatum 08:45, 18 February 2012 (EST) The number 0. I think he means that the third party characters (my guess Sonic from Sega and Snake from Konami) are not for Nintendo LightningBlue: Need to Balance 11:55, 18 February 2012 (EST) Great choice for a fight; both can be annoying and the latter group sometimes seem overshadowed by other Smash Bros. elements/characters... 72.3.33.4 15:51, 23 February 2012 (EST)
