Revision as of 16:09, January 22, 2013
This forum has the purpose of helping to select what battles will eventually take place in the Smash Arena. If you would like to make a suggestion, please feel free to leave it here. New suggestions are placed at the bottom of the page. Be sure to state your reason you suggested it and put the support, reject, and comments sections underneath it.
Like the idea? Be sure to give it your support. Note that this page is not to be used for the actual voting between fighters; that happens in the Arena itself. Remember, the combatants don't necessarily have to be able to fight each other normally in Smash Bros.
Rules
Posting suggestions
- Only Smash Bros.-related fights are permitted. Fights don't have to be between playable characters, but the combatants must have appeared in at least one Smash Bros. game.
- If there are already 10 open suggestions, you should probably reconsider adding a new one. If there are 15, it is highly recommended you do not. There is no limit to the number of open suggestions, but having too many clutters the page and makes it more difficult to keep track of.
- Check this list to view the fights that have been done. Repeat fights are permitted if they occurred 100 or more rounds ago. As matchups over 100 rounds ago are moved off that particular list, the list is the definitive source on what can't be repeated. Note that repeats close to this cutoff may still be valid if the queue is full enough that the fight's acceptance will allow it to be outside the 100-round zone.
- Do not post more than one suggestion at a time. Each user may post one suggestion per week (i.e. one every seven days).
- Sign your suggestions/votes/comments with ~~~~ and a # in front of it (you don't necessarily have to put # in the comments sections, but you do have to sign with ~~~~).
- Place new suggestions at the bottom of the page.
- You can retract and remove your own suggestion, but it still counts as your suggestion for that week.
- Similarly to the above, you cannot edit a suggestion once people have started to vote on it. Editing the description is fine, just don't alter the combatants.
Voting and comments
- Don't vote on your own suggestion.
- Post why you support/oppose. Don't just say, "Oh, this is a cool idea". Explain why you like/don't like the fight. This is not required but adds credence to your opinion - remember, suggestions are not accepted or rejected based on a simple vote count.
- The comments section is to be used for relevant comments only.
- Do not use this page to argue with other users over their reasons and opinions. You can civilly point out an inconsistency or mistake in their description, but if you say things like, "That's stupid", that could potentially start an argument in the comments, you are breaching this rule.
- Do not make this page into the Smash Arena itself. This is for deciding what goes there, not voting on the winner.
Acceptance or rejection
- The SA operator(s) has final say over all the fights. Suggestions and comments are merely a way for the community to influence the fights, and can be used, edited, or ignored at the operator(s)'s discretion.
- Acceptance of fights is not based simply on votes. The votes are used to judge the community's opinion of the matchup; again it is solely the operator(s)'s decision on what the bouts are.
- Suggestions are purged every time a new Smash Arena round is posted. It is at this time they are either accepted and placed into the queue, or they are rejected. Not all suggestions are purged at once - only those that are both older than the rest and have higher vote counts. Usually suggestions need at least 5 votes to be decided upon, unless they are very old.
- In the vein of the above, do not repost a suggestion of yours that has been removed recently, since it's either already lined up or been rejected. See the Queue section for an idea of how long it may take for your suggestion to show up.
- If a suggestion of yours has been rejected in the past, you may repost it three months (90 days) after its rejection. However, it is unlikely for a rejected suggestion to be accepted in the future, so it is likely more productive to suggest something else.
- Descriptions are not guaranteed to be included as-is should a suggestion pass.
Tips
- In most cases, the combatants of a match should share similarities but have key differences. However, matchups between total opposites are also interesting. Avoid the middle ground where combatants have little in common but are also not polar opposites.
- Protagonist vs. antagonist matches (e.g. Mario vs. Bowser) are valid, and many of them succeed in the arena, but are usually pushed aside by the community in favour of matchups that are less "obvious". Matchups born from in-game events (e.g. Subspace Emissary groupings) or matchups that are big in their home universes but not necessarily in Smash Bros. (e.g. legendary Pokémon fights) tend to fall into this as well.
- While rematches are valid once 100 rounds have passed, do not expect much enthusiasm for them unless the original match was very close or a tie.
- Regular matches (one-on-one) are favoured far more than three-way fights. If you have an idea for a three-way fight, see if one of the three combatants is really necessary, and try to get it down to two. Fights of more than three participants have to be sock-knocking genius in order to be even considered, so unless you're convinced it will be very popular, turn your efforts to something else.
- The description can sway peoples' opinions of a matchup. While the most interesting suggestions can be accepted on their own merits, those in the middle can be made or broken by how you present them.
Queue
The current queue is as such:
257 | 258 | 259 | 260 | 261 | 262 | 263 | 264 | 265 |
Hover the cursor over a round number to see its predicted start date. Empty spots are shown in grey.
When the queue becomes full (all the grey spots are filled up), suggestions will be suspended. You may continue to vote on current suggestions, but no more may be proposed. Once the queue drains out to a size of one, suggestions will be re-opened.
The queue is not set in stone; new suggestions may appear before older ones and it may change at any time. The queue is designed to attempt to balance out fights so that participants or universes aren't used too much in a short time.
The contents of the queue are a secret to maintain mystery and intrigue.

Suggestions
Captain Falcon vs Falcon Punch
I've been thinking about this suggestion for a while. While I looked through the SA fights, I noticed that Falcon ALWAYS wins. I wondered why, And realised it was because of his meme, FALCON PUNCH!!! Then I came up with this. How popular would Falcon be without his meme? It struck me. This would be perfect for the SA, so all I need now is Support! Shanicpower Make it rain! 09:07, 5 January 2013 (EST)
Support
- It'd be interesting to see if Falcon can stand against his own meme. Like if Vegeta were pitted against "Over 9000." This is a popularity contest after all. JamesHeart 19:13, 5 January 2013 (EST)
- I really love this idea and I wish less people would hate the idea. ChuckNorris 16:33, 8 January 2013 (EST)
- ALL the oppose comments say that it's impossible for Falcon to fight his own move. But then I would like to ask: Why didn't you oppose the item vs item suggestions? Or Final Destination vs Battlefield? It's impossible for them to fight each other too! This suggestion is really interesting and I would like to see the results of it.94.234.170.71 09:05, 11 January 2013 (EST)
- I agree with the vote above. It is a popularity contest, not a fight.161.52.15.110 11:26, 11 January 2013 (EST)

- A character vs. his move. Doesn't see much worth.--ShupaRoeh 09:53, 5 January 2013 (EST)
- Hmm, a character vs. his own move. Not really interesting. Terrible is 2013 CE 13:23, 5 January 2013 (EST)
- So the Falcon Punch fights back against Captain Falcon? So this means his fist is going to fight himself? Dots The Zerg 13:18, 5 January 2013 (EST)
- ...Seriously? A character against HIS OWN MOVE?! Air Conditioner is a Mr. Saturn. 16:48, 5 January 2013 (EST)
- So, Falcon versus his flaming fist. Is, like, his fist disembodied or something during this fight? Very confusing. --Havoc48 >:D!!! 17:46, 9 January 2013 (EST)
- Per everybody else. A character facing off against his own neutral special is not really a good idea. 86.172.78.5 04:14, 11 January 2013 (EST)
- uh, no. DoctorPain99 {ROLLBACKER} 16:48, 12 January 2013 (EST)

- In the Mario series, like AirCon said, the one item is a superior upgrade to the other. In the Smash series, the items act completely different with no contrasts. Same universe =/= interesting matchup. Omega Tyrant 07:50, 22 January 2013 (EST)

I feel I should say this: this is a fight where the combatants are similar in an unusual way. In almost every other fight, the combatants have been similar in an obvious way. RickTommy 08:30, 15 January 2013 (EST)
PSI Magnet vs. Oil Panic
Both are moves that absorb projectiles: one for defensive healing, the other for offensive stronger projectiles. Which one is the awesomer absorber? Toadat9021doh (talk) 18:26, 5 January 2013 (EST)

Melee Falco isn't a camper. In Melee, short hop laser camping really isn't rewarding as it is in Brawl. Melee Falco benefits more from shine combos and hard punishes.

Falcon Punch vs. Knee of Justice
The two single most famous attacks from not just Falcon's moveset, but from Smash as a whole.
