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", 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.
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. 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.

Round 153: Mew vs. Celebi vs. Jirachi

Winner!! undecided ~ to ~ to ~
Fresh off a previous legendary 3-way, here's another featuring the pixies with 100's across the board. Will the genetic anomaly, time-traveling fairy, or Luma-like traveller rise up?
Votes for Mew Bandit 14:15, 1 September 2012 (EDT) He appears the most out of the three for me, which is convient, and maybe he could be the ancestor of every Pokemon.Toadat9021doh (talk) 14:25, 1 September 2012 (EDT) Fourth Favorite behind Pikachu, Charizard, and Mewtwo. Also, Mew was able to get into Ubers in the past four generations while comparing to Celebi who was only uber in Gen II and Jirachi was never a uber. Dots The Bomb 15:17, 1 September 2012 (EDT) While I love all three of these Pokémon I'm going to have to vote for Mew. I just like him best for some reason. Maybe it's because he's just so darn cute. ChuckNorris 15:41, 1 September 2012 (EDT) DoctorPain99 {ROLLBACKER} 17:58, 1 September 2012 (EDT) Drops a CD. Krazy4Krash (talk) 18:46, 1 September 2012 (EDT) I'm an old-school kind of guy. Mr. Anontalk 20:02, 1 September 2012 (EDT) Reason for Mewtwo. ShupaRoeh 20:07, 1 September 2012 (EDT) I don't know or care much about the Pokemon series, but Mewtwo is pretty awesome so Mew gets my vote. Naked Snake 23:40, 1 September 2012 (EDT) Mew is a classic Pokemon, plus I prefer CD drops. 110.174.90.69 03:01, 2 September 2012 (EDT) He's just like Mewtwo!! The Awesome 11:55, 2 September 2012 (EDT) I don't like Pokemon, so I', gonna pick this guy cause he's in Melee. (I don't have Brawl yet) Supersmash4 (talk) 13:24, 2 September 2012 (EDT) It is cute. <3 LightningBlue 22:02, 3 September 2012 (EDT) It must win. ChaosMew161 (talk) 18:27, 7 September 2012 (EDT) One of the most notable legendary Pokémon, and a plethora of rumors and glitches shroud it in mystery and intrigue. Plus, it holds the DNA of every single Pokémon and its own DNA gives rise to one of the coolest and most powerful legendary Pokémon in existence, Mewtwo. Also, its leitmotif in the first Pokémon movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back, is just so beautiful. Mew edges out Jirachi (which has a wonderful design, ability, and signature move in its own right) and Celebi for me. Fenyx4 (talk) 21:38, 7 September 2012 (EDT) Half votes I like music.Brawls of fury 12:25,2 September 2012 (EDT)		Votes for Celebi Cute :3-- PSIWolf The one and only! 13:38, 1 September 2012 (EDT) Just to tie things up. 137.186.192.107 15:08, 1 September 2012 (EDT) Because Gen II. --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 15:50, 1 September 2012 (EDT) Always had a liking for Celebi. Omega Tyrant 16:24, 1 September 2012 (EDT) It has an important role in the Pokémon games (guardian of the forest in Gold, and heart-purifier in Colosseum). JamesHeartless 19:28, 1 September 2012 (EDT) Johto!The Cheese 22:43, 1 September 2012 (EDT) I like grass types the most.DragonMistress (talk) 04:10, 2 September 2012 (EDT) Christmas time comes early when it leaves behind trophies. Heh! 71.199.149.250 14:55, 2 September 2012 (EDT) Johto. Generation II. Those are my reasons. 67.173.145.76 19:20, 4 September 2012 (EDT)		Votes for Jirachi From Gen III, my main series introduction to Pokémon. :D Air Conditioner File:Accoolx.png 13:46, 1 September 2012 (EDT) The star of the second best Pokémon movie (behind Manaphy), and my second favourite legendary in general (behind Phione). Also, after I'd gotten all the CD's and random trophies, Jirachi was the only useful Pokémon. Toast ltimatum 14:01, 1 September 2012 (EDT) Jirachi is useful in OU competitive battling in Pokemon, while Mew is overpowered and Celebi... eh. Shoot me for bad logic. 24.168.110.115 20:08, 1 September 2012 (EDT) Stickers everywhere! 204.191.136.245 01:07, 2 September 2012 (EDT) FishPlay 12:25, 2 September 2012 (EDT) My favorite out of the three. Shanderu 13:09, 2 September 2012 (EDT) Doom Desire. Great typing. And those great blue dangly things. Davsto (talk) 08:31, 3 September 2012 (EDT) Grants wishes. 142.244.175.210 17:19, 5 September 2012 (EDT) Since it's arguably the least common of the three.--71.160.215.6 22:10, 5 September 2012 (EDT)
Comments I think this battle would have been better if Jirachi was in it. ChuckNorris 15:41, 1 September 2012 (EDT) ...You're kidding, right? Air Conditioner File:Accoolx.png 16:18, 1 September 2012 (EDT) Oh crap, I meant Manaphy. Sorry for the confusion. ChuckNorris 16:53, 1 September 2012 (EDT) Yeah, I think Manaphy should be included. It's a "baby legendary" just like Mew, Celebi, and Jirachi, the only difference being that it isn't part psychic-type. They all have base 100 stats, too. But then again, Mew, Celebi, and Jirachi only drop items while Manaphy uses a move that affects the players. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 17:45, 1 September 2012 (EDT) I agree; it would have been nice to see Manaphy face off against Mew, Celebi, and Jirachi in this fight...

Round 152: Yoshi's Story vs. Yoshi's Island (SSBB)

		Winner!! Yoshi's Island (SSBB) 8 to 22
The fatnose has quite a few similar stages attached to his world, and here's a pair of them vying for attention. Both platformed, both with rescue service, both with unique visual styling - which popular tournament stage gets the nod?
Votes for Yoshi's Story This stage is a classic. I have a Yoshi toy from McDonalds that plays part of the song heard on this stage. ChuckNorris 12:14, 25 August 2012 (EDT) Pity vote. RickTommy (talk) 22:11, 25 August 2012 (EDT) This stage is a starter in Melee, and I use it often unlike the Brawl version. Also, it's a great stage for Marth. Naked Snake 13:28, 26 August 2012 (EDT) Here's a story about Yoshi. One day, Yoshi was strolling through a subway, until a train came by. Yoshi got on the train, and saw a Hondourian Bat. Yoshi ate the Hondourian Bat. It was delicious. When the train stopped, Yoshi got out, and when he left the subway, he found himself on The Bahamas. Yoshi ordered a sunbed online, and when it came, he basked in the sunlight. Yoshi laid there until he fell asleep, thus ending his story. When he next woke up, he saw a Flying Shy Guy holding a Red Coin, but that, my friends, is a story for another day. Toast ltimatum 20:37, 26 August 2012 (EDT) This one was tough. Both have amazing (although simple) layouts, and while Yoshi's Story's is a little more generic having three soft platforms in a triangle patern (two at the bottom, one centered at the top), I find Yoshi's Story to be superior. It's more fun to fight on and its environment is more engaging, like its predecessor's. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 22:07, 29 August 2012 (EDT) Just cuz. 67.173.145.76 23:33, 30 August 2012 (EDT) Pity Vote 137.186.192.107 12:54, 1 September 2012 (EDT) Half-votes I thought Yoshi's Island was based off Yoshi's Island DS, apparently it's based off the first one, you know, the lamer one, the one with only one baby. If you don't see what I'm talking about, imagine a Pikmin game where it's just red Pikmin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Supersmash4 (talk • contribs) 13:06, 26 August 2012‎ (EDT) Man I love this stage it has better music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PepsiBoy (talk • contribs) 21:20, 29 August 2012 (EDT)			Votes for Yoshi's Island (SSBB) This one is based off the snes game. 204.191.136.245 23:11, 24 August 2012 (EDT) Brawl. Krazy4Krash (talk) 00:02, 25 August 2012 (EDT) It changes seasons, and to me, that alone better represents the game it was based on than the Yoshi's Story stage does. Toadat9021doh (talk) 00:23, 25 August 2012 (EDT) I prefer the art style of this one. 110.174.90.69 04:42, 25 August 2012 (EDT) I played Yoshi's Island first, giving it more nostalgia factor than Yoshi's Story, despite them being equally great games IMO. Bowzerdude- Pure Epicness! 06:42, 25 August 2012 (EDT) I have Brawl. Not Melee. Air Conditioner File:Accoolx.png 08:55, 25 August 2012 (EDT) As per above, plus shutouts are awesome. 24.168.107.148 10:00, 25 August 2012 (EDT) I like this stage!! This stage reminds me of the game I have: Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island!! I also like the songs!! The Awesome 12:39, 25 August 2012 (EDT) FishPlay 14:55, 25 August 2012 (EDT) Hmmmm....BRAWL! DarkFox01: Smashing in Summer 15:11, 25 August 2012 (EDT) It's from Brawl. DragonMistress (talk) 15:14, 25 August 2012 (EDT) I like this stage more. Mr. Anontalk 15:19, 25 August 2012 (EDT) This is one of my favorite stages in Brawl. Smash Master 17:22, 25 August 2012 (EDT) I think it just overall looks better. That, and it's a great stage in Brawl. 98.111.235.82 17:47, 25 August 2012 (EDT) Win.The Cheese 19:13, 25 August 2012 (EDT) based off a more classic game. Also in brawl, best game to me. ShupaRoeh 20:09, 25 August 2012 (EDT) TommyNook (talk) 21:50, 25 August 2012 (EDT) I just like the time changes. 71.199.149.250 22:46, 25 August 2012 (EDT) Dots Ready for School 22:47, 25 August 2012 (EDT) I like the stage better not just making a dumb reasoning of "I don't have the other game so this one is better". LightningBlue 19:35, 26 August 2012 (EDT) This one isn't a cramped Battlefield clone. Omega Tyrant 15:20, 27 August 2012 (EDT) I like turtles Mesprit, Uxie, Azelf. Mesuxelf 16:27, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
Comments @ChuckNorris oh yeah I remember that. LightningBlue 14:08, 25 August 2012 (EDT) I love that toy. I'm glad someone else remembers it besides me. ChuckNorris 16:31, 27 August 2012 (EDT) @LightningBlue: I take offense to that. The rules do say that you don't need a valid reason to vote. Air Conditioner File:Accoolx.png 20:27, 26 August 2012 (EDT) Exactly. This is a popularity contest and nothing more. Krazy4Krash (talk) 01:53, 27 August 2012 (EDT) @The Cheese Why don't you say "The Cheese Says" anymore? The Awesome 18:25, 29 August 2012 (EDT) Oh give me a break. I'm saying an opinion. And AirCon I never said it like AIRCON Y U DO THAT? There isn't and doesn't need to be a rule, but if you wanna state a reasoning make it better than what you guys said above. LightningBlue 01:59, 1 September 2012 (EDT) Calling something a "dumb reason" is not an opinion, it's attacking someone else's reasoning for their own choice. Anybody can state whatever reason they want to vote whatever way they want to. Naked Snake 23:39, 1 September 2012 (EDT) How do Melee stages always seem to do so badly in these matches? The only time I can think of when a Melee stage won a match was when Pokemon Stadium beat Pokemon Stadium 2, and even that was a pretty close win. Toadat9021doh (talk) 14:20, 1 September 2012 (EDT)
