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. 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.

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. 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 at an operator's discretion.

Multiple votes are not allowed; attempts to circumvent this with sockpuppets will result in your vote being discounted entirely, 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 197: Yoshi's Story vs. Fountain of Dreams

		Winner!! undecided ~ to ~
Two neutral stages, both modelled after the standard triangular platform layout, but with differences - one has sloped ground, small playspace, and good ol' Randall, while the other has platforms of changing heights that sometimes completely submerge into the reflective pool of dreams. Which big-eater's home stage comes through?

Round 196: Sheik vs. Zero Suit Samus

		Winner!! Zero Suit Samus 7 to 18
It's a rematch of agile blue-clothed alternate characters. The last one was close, will the result be the same?
Votes for Sheik I'm getting a little tired of voting for Zelde-related stuff, but I just want to make the outcome different this time. 71.105.121.171 23:59, 19 July 2013 (EDT) Sheik always struck me as a ninja. plus, I'm good with her. 70.209.8.216 10:55, 20 July 2013 (EDT) He's the manliest of men! JamesHeart 12:55, 20 July 2013 (EDT) 75.31.4.16 14:52, 20 July 2013 (EDT) I hate w*****. Terrible is Terrible 16:04, 20 July 2013 (EDT) I don't really like Sheik, but she's better than Zero Suit Samus, so I'll vote for Sheik.Multus Valde (talk) 04:42, 21 July 2013 (EDT) shiek!!!!! --Igor The Mii (talk) 21:00, 21 July 2013 (EDT)			Votes for Zero Suit Samus I'm sorry, but she's much more attractive that a woman dressed as a man. DoctorPain99 23:23, 19 July 2013 (EDT) What DoctorPain99 said, plus, she's hawt. -- Conny 23:25, 19 July 2013 (EDT) First time voting :] Shiek is Zelda in her Prime, Zero Suit is Samus going easy on you. Malake256 (talk) 01:04, 20 July 2013 (EDT) She is hot!Boo Buddy (talk) 03:50, 20 July 2013 (EDT) I don't see anything special about her... Dots The Medic 10:06, 20 July 2013 (EDT) I don't like Sheik at all, I'll tell you what. 67.166.229.4 13:33, 20 July 2013 (EDT) She's better than her with her power suit. Now that makes her epic. Plus Metroid Zero Mission is cool. --- Conanshinichi 14:05, 20 July 2013 (EDT) dat ass Bandit 14:43, 20 July 2013 (EDT) I like Sheik, but Zero Suit Samus is downright fun to play as! Washi (talk) 14:46, 20 July 2013 (EDT) Down smash. Stunning is awesome. Scr7 16:47, 20 July 2013 (EDT) Even though I barely use both characters, I'm better with zero suit Samus, because she has a decently powerful electric whip and is stronger than sheik. Plus everything the guy below me said. TheAtomicFire (talk) 17:14, 20 July 2013 (EDT) A character who can actually KO, has better range, can recover much safer, and doesn't have the falling speed of a boulder which would get her in pikachu's chaingrab. LightningBlue 19:17, 20 July 2013 (EDT) Better character design. Also, come on guys, do you have to be stereotypical and pick Zamus because "she's hot"? Omega Tyrant 01:08, 21 July 2013 (EDT) Samus? Respond! Responnnnnnnnnn... ChuckNorris 09:19, 22 July 2013 (EDT) It is fun to throw power suit pieces at opponents. Mr. Anontalk 23:32, 22 July 2013 (EDT) I voted because Adam told me to do so.MegiBeelzebub 14:10, 24 July 2013 (EDT) Because she's better than weak Zelda. Superstarxalien169's smashbox. (talk) 19:18, 25 July 2013 (EDT) Yes, yes we do, OT. :P--Starman125 (talk) 01:20, 26 July 2013 (EDT)
