SmashArena.png

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, editors and users, to the Smash Arena! Each week (or two weeks, if the wiki's status is high Green or above) 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!

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.
      • Similarly, avoid writing votes that may invite an argument. Stating your opinion is fine, but don't make it easy for others to see it as goading.

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. Other users should not fix such broken votes without also making them half-votes. 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 (and subsequently deleted) at an operator's discretion.

Multiple votes in a round are not allowed; attempts to circumvent this with sockpuppets will result in all your votes being deleted, 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 223: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time vs. Star Fox 64

OoTbox.png
 Winner!!
undecided

~ to ~
StarFox64 N64 Game Box.jpg
Fan-favourite N64 games of their series, the debuts of Ganondorf and Wolf, and remade for the 3DS - which of the two Masterpieces of Brawl's comes out on top?

Votes for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

  1. Let's consult to the mighty Helix Fossil!!! Dots (talk) Link OoT Dots.PNG The Solid Snake 10:29, 15 March 2014 (EDT)
  2. Dots, now's not the time to use that! Terrible is St. Patrick 10:44, 15 March 2014 (EDT)
  3. While not my favorite Zelda game, it is certainly one of my favorite games of all time and one of only a few games that I consider to be 5 star games. Star Fox 64, while a great game, is more of a 4 star game. DoctorPain99 11:01, 15 March 2014 (EDT)
  4. Overrated thought it may be, it's still a great game, while Star Fox is pretty average IMO. -- (The preceding signed comment was made by Ghabulous Ghoti) 11:29, 15 March 2014 (EDT)
  5. I have played Ocarina of Time before, but I never played a Star Fox game. 75.156.151.217 12:12, 15 March 2014 (EDT)
  6. Can't let you do that star fox 75.85.64.155 16:09, 15 March 2014 (EDT)
  7. They are both overrated, but I still really like Ocarina of Time. Star Fox 64, on the other hand, is my least favorite game of the series I've played(Adventures, Assault, and Command).71.106.221.147 16:42, 15 March 2014 (EDT)
  8. I don't have games from either series, but I have a "Don't Make Me Go Zelda On You" shirt. SeanWheeler (talk) 17:44, 15 March 2014 (EDT)

Votes for Star Fox 64

  1. Pity vote. --TheLegendaryKRB (talk) 12:34, 15 March 2014 (EDT)
  2. Personal dislike of the Zelda series. I do want to try playing Star Fox games sometime. --Timson622222 (talk) 17:54, 15 March 2014
  3. I haven't owned a full Zelda game. inb4hate Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 19:03, 15 March 2014 (EDT)

Round 223: Screw Attack vs. Franklin Badge

Screw Attack item.jpg
 Winner!!
Franklin Badge
Franklin Badge1.jpg

13 to 17.5
Franklin Badge1.jpg
Two badges, one that turns jumps into a cyclone of pain, another that acts as a reflector of infinite power. Does the offensive or defensive badge get pinned to the top?

Votes for Screw Attack

  1. While the Franklin Badge is more useful in Smash Bros., the Screw Attack leaves me with a lot of nostalgia, not only from Metroid games, but also from Melee. ♡FirstaLasto♥ 01:08, 1 March 2014 (EST)
  2. I like it better. Thats all I have to say. --TheLegendaryKRB (talk) 02:18, 1 March 2014 (EST)
  3. I like this one better, the other one looks like a fashion design that reflects projectiles. --(talk) 07:25, 1 March 2014 (EST)
  4. 75.156.151.217 10:11, 1 March 2014 (EST)
  5. SCREW ATTACK! I liked Johnny Ortiz' joke and I liked the spin attack. Not many projectiles gets thrown at me. SeanWheeler (talk) 10:16, 1 March 2014 (EST)
  6. It's the screw ATTACK! Fighting games are for attacks, not defenses.72.105.0.196 15:34, 1 March 2014 (EST)
  7. This was hard. But screw attacks are just awesome.75.85.64.155 11:56, 2 March 2014 (EST)
  8. I don't know about anyone else, but my playstyle focuses purely on DISHING OUT THE PAIN! 86.184.187.138 03:23, 3 March 2014 (EST)
  9. Pity Vote. 192.197.128.170 12:05, 3 March 2014 (EST)
  10. ZZZZZAAAAAPPP!208.111.200.208 17:22, 5 March 2014 (EST)
  11. Throwing this thing to steal K.O.s in Melee is priceless. GreenMarioBrawlHead.png Green Mario 02:42, 6 March 2014 (EST)
  12. Broken. VICIOUS VIRIDIAN!!!!!! (talk) 20:00, 9 March 2014 (EDT)
  13. Usually, if an energy beam is being shot at my face, I just jump over it. --75.130.202.159 20:27, 14 March 2014 (EDT)

Votes for Franklin Badge

  1. It destroys Meta Ridley, Toon Link, and Samus. Laikue (talk) 00:00, 1 March 2014 (EST)
  2. 121.223.157.19 00:04, 1 March 2014 (EST)
  3. Play a "laser and Phantasm-spamming" Falco? Franklin Badge is your worst enemy. --Timson622222 (talk) 00:30, 1 March 2014 (EST)
  4. I finally found out that Screw attack is less helpful in the Subspace Emissary and we learned from this year's Super Bowl that defense beats offense. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) 01:03, 1 March 2014 (EST)
  5. Defiantly useful against projectile spammers. Dots (talk) Link OoT Dots.PNG The Left 4 Dead 09:41, 1 March 2014 (EST)
  6. I usually find the Brawl Screw Attack to be an annoyance that you can't force dispose of, while the Frankin Badge is always useful. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 10:21, 1 March 2014 (EST)
  7. Brings back Earthbound memories.Tepig (talk) 12:30, 1 March 2014 (EST)
  8. I like the series a lot, so Franklin Badge FTW. 99.93.76.66 13:33, 1 March 2014 (EST)

  11. Great against casuals. Also, it's from EarthBound. Look at my name. SSBBNess (talk) SSBBNess sig image.png 15:34, 1 March 2014 (EST)
  12. It's a man name Franklin's badge. Why not? Terrible is St. Patrick 20:28, 1 March 2014 (EST)
  13. Awesomelink234 (talk) 11:31, 2 March 2014 (EST)
