Forums: Index → Smash Arena


SmashArena.png

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, editors and users, to the Smash Arena! Each week (or possibly less often, if the wiki's status is Yellow 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 a 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 240: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS vs. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Boxart-3ds.png
 Winner!!
undecided

~ to ~
Boxart-wiiu.png
Sure they have the same fundamental gameplay and cast of characters, but completely different stages and modes, so we can't say this will surely turn out a tie.

Votes for SSB4-3

  1. Funner stages, Has Smash Run and not a trashy Mario Party mode, on the go...could go on. Kirby's Crazy Appetite ~ KirbysCrazyAppetiteSig.png 12:22, 6 May 2017 (EDT)
  2. Beyond being Smash on-the-go, it has overall better stages. My favorite exclusive stages are Unova Pokémon League and Magicant. Dream Land and Rainbow Road provide good Omega stages as well. JamesJH-Heartless.pngHeart 13:43, 6 May 2017 (EDT)
  3. Well I only own this version so I guess this gets an automatic vote? oh and Smash Run is pretty cool. BSTIK (talk) 12:43, 7 May 2017 (EDT)
  4. SSBWU neglects the N64/Gamecube Mario games for no reason. At least SSB3DS is bound by constraints. RickTommy 07:42, 9 May 2017 (EDT)
  5. Less chaotic stages, Smash Run is better executed than Smash Tour, Classic Mode is better, Customs feel more worthwhile to use simply due to the portable nature of the game. b2jammer (talk) 19:57, 9 May 2017 (EDT)

Votes for SSB4-U

  1. Obvious reason is obvious. Serpent SKSig.png King 11:49, 6 May 2017 (EDT)
  2. lol imagine if this had been Melee vs SSB4. Either way, yeah, Wii U easily gets my vote. Smoother graphics, better controllers (although I don't really mind the 3DS's controls), easier to play with friends, 8-Player Smash and, of course, it's the version that's played at tournaments. 3DS might have some better game modes (Classic, Smash Run), but I don't think that makes up for the much better multiplayer Wii U offers.034.png DracoRexKing, Creator of the Land 12:33, 6 May 2017 (EDT)
  3. Better stages and has event mode. Also, the 3DS version is the reason the Ice Climbers were cut. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is made in America 12:52, 6 May 2017 (EDT)
  4. I enjoy both versions, but SSB4-U gets my vote because I'm more comfortable playing this version. Smash Master 14:56, 6 May 2017 (EDT)
  5. Why is the Wii U version even compared to the 3DS version at all when the Wii U version is clearly better? MetaKingSignature1.png20MK_MetaKing #20MKMetaKingSignature2.png 19:37, 6 May 2017 (EDT)
  6. While the playing Smash to-go concept on the 3DS version isn't bad or anything, it wasn't going to be played much further once the Wii U version released, which more or less served as the real deal. MHStarCraft Mega Man X SNES sprite.png 21:50, 6 May 2017 (EDT)
  7. Better graphics and stages IMO. Awesomelink234 Getting down to editing~ 12:38, 7 May 2017 (EDT)
  8. I like it better, simple as that PoultrysigSSB4.pngPoultryPoultrysigSSBM.png(talk) the God-Slayer 12:56, 7 May 2017 (EDT)
  9. Both versions are great but my best choice is the Wii U version! More stages, more songs, more fighters, HD graphics! My personal favorite voice actors in the Wii U version are Charles Martinet (Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Dr. Mario), Kazumi Totaka (Yoshi), and the announcer of the game itself, Xander Mobus! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 13:51, 7 May 2017 (EDT)
  10. The 3DS version has better single player and stages, but aside from that the Wii U version outclasses it in almost every other way. It's always the version of the game I'll choose to play if I have the choice, though by no means is the 3DS version bad either. RagnarokSignature.png Ragnarok320, The Toa of Fire (talk) 12:23, 8 May 2017 (EDT)
  11. 8-player Smash is great at parties. ChuckNorris24.png  17:21, 12 May 2017 (EDT)
  12. The Wii U version is just superior in every way. While I do like the 3D visuals in the 3DS version, you can't play it with a GameCube controller, which is the smoothest controller in Smash. AidanzapunkSig1.pngAidan, the Wandering Dragon WarriorAidanzapunkSig2.png 02:25, 13 May 2017 (EDT)
  13. SSB4 for Wii U follows the history of the series, in it that each Super Smash Bros. game has been designed for the lead Nintendo home console at the time of its release. For 3DS diverts from this system, a path that I do not find appealing. Moreover, the Wii U version simply has more to offer, due to the fact that the Wii U on the most basic level can handle it. Everyman Or Nobody? (talk) 21:30, 13 May 2017 (EDT)
  14. Way better than 3DS --Myth Myth Kirby.png 08:40, 15 May 2017 (EDT)

  1. The only game I have —Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.37.209.22 (talk • contribs) 06:56, 7 May 2017 (EDT)

Comments

I think the Wii U version is awesome in my opinion and I couldn't agree more! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 00:10, 13 May 2017 (EDT)

Yes it's intentional that this round is lasting an extra week: last round lasted 3, so this can be 2 to "wind up" to 1 after that. This comment apparently didn't stick last time I made it. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Superlative 06:45, 15 May 2017 (EDT)

Round 239: Sonic vs. Mega Man vs. Pac-Man

Sonic SSB4.png
Mega Man SSB4.png
Pac-Man SSB4.png
Winner!!
Mega Man
Mega Man SSB4.png

9 to 12.5 to 8
Two blue, one yellow. Two round, one spiky. Two organic, one robotic. Which of these three third-parties gets the nod?

Votes for Sonic

He's: My main, The Knight of The Wind, The Fastest Thing Alive, Slayed GODS, ect.

  1. Sonic cuz spin dash :D 136.63.64.104 16:17, 15 April 2017 (EDT)
  2. Sonic is quite literally my favorite video game character. AidanzapunkSig1.pngAidan, the Springing Dragon WarriorAidanzapunkSig2.png 17:40, 15 April 2017 (EDT)
  3. One of my favorite video game characters of all time, plus I play him. Yeah, this is a no contest. RagnarokSignature.png Ragnarok320, The Toa of Fire (talk) 18:34, 15 April 2017 (EDT)
  4. This decision was too easy, a piece of cake. One of these three characters is my main. If you haven't worked out which one, you're too slow. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 01:36, 16 April 2017 (EDT)
  5. Definitely my favorite video game franchise with Zelda not too far behind. Sonic Mania can't come soon enough! Aqua Shield (talk) AquaShield.png 13:51, 17 April 2017 (EDT)
  6. "Sonic's the name, speed's my game!" Sonic rocks! He's my second favorite video game character, or maybe even tied with Kirby as my first! Not to mention he's one of my mains. Smash Master 11:37, 18 April 2017 (EDT)
  7. They don't call him The Blue Blur for nothing. Awesomelink234 Getting down to editing~ 17:52, 19 April 2017 (EDT)
  8. I'm gonna judge this based on the characters themselves and not their smash counterparts. Anyway I have the most connection with Sonic over both the mans. He's simply bigger to me than the other two and I feel it would be dishonest to vote for them over Sonic. Also because 4Kids dubbed Sonic X and we all know how faithful and well received their dubs are BSTIK (talk) 14:41, 26 April 2017 (EDT)

Votes for Mega Man

  1. Of course I'm going to have to give it up for the blue bomber. This year does mark as his 30th anniversary as well. MHStarCraft Mega Man X SNES sprite.png 12:17, 15 April 2017 (EDT)
  2. Megaman is cooler. CDHELPS (talk) 12:25, 15 April 2017 (EDT)
  3. Scr7 (talk) 12:38, 15 April 2017 (EDT)
  4. Frickin ScAtt one of my fave players PoultrysigSSB4.pngPoultryPoultrysigSSBM.png(talk) the God-Slayer 13:52, 15 April 2017 (EDT)
  5. THE SUPER FIGHTING ROBOT Nymbaresigicon.png Nymbare and his talk 18:49, 15 April 2017 (EDT)
  6. Mega Man has the funner gameplay style, is a robot, and hasn't made any awful games lately. 107.184.54.129 19:11, 17 April 2017 (EDT)
  7. Definitely one of my favorite platforming series. Challenging games have always been my cup of tea, and Mega Man appeals a lot to me with so much in his kit, especially the way everything is represented in Smash. Even putting this aside, Mega Man is my favorite character to play and watch (I heavily dislike Sonic's campy playstyle, and I don't see great Pac-Man players too often) out of these three. 034.png DracoRexKing, Creator of the Land 11:54, 18 April 2017 (EDT)
  8. Classic Mega Man > Modern Sonic, but Classic Sonic trumps both for me. Then again, which Sonic is depicted above? pac's okay I guess BaconMasterBaconMasterSig.png 21:14, 22 April 2017 (EDT)
  9. No sanic sped and a grab that doesn't need to be fixed is a win in my book 76.182.123.64 02:39, 23 April 2017 (EDT)
  10. Games are the funnest out of the 3Destructodon (talk) 20:52, 24 April 2017 (EDT)
  11. OMG I GREW with his games. The Classic series will always be one of my favorite series of games, and I started to play his games again just recently (even trying to complete MM2 in max difficulty). He was a character I wanted to pick since the very beginning in SSB4, but his playstyle was too difficult for me to get used to, and I played other characters better as well. He's also possibly the hypest to watch of the three in competitive play, though Pac-Man does have his moments, and Sonic is rarely hype. In short, the reasons I vote for Mega Man are very similar to those of Draco. --BeepYouSignature.png Beep (talk) 17:50, 25 April 2017 (EDT)
  12. Mega Man is my MEGA choice!! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 22:46, 26 April 2017 (EDT)

Half-votes

  1. Mr super mega robot man. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gamer wii U (talk • contribs) 02:23, April 25, 2017‎

Votes for Pac-Man

  1. So, #239 finally came, huh? Anyway, I love all 3 of these characters, but PAC-MAN is probably the best to me because of his Bonus Fruit, Pac-Jump and Fire Hydrant. Especially his Bonus Fruit - I'm a fan of the Bell! Kirby's Crazy Appetite ~ KirbysCrazyAppetiteSig.png 11:00, 15 April 2017 (EDT)
  2. The first video game I ever played was Pac-Man: Adventures in Time, and I had a lot of fun playing the Pac-Man World series back in the day, so this is a big nostalgia vote. While I dislike the way Pac-Man is played in Smash, he's still one of my favorite video game characters and definitely my favorite third-party character in Smash 4. I've never really touched a Sonic or Mega-Man game in my life, so there's that too. John John3637881 Signature.png HUAH! 12:58, 15 April 2017 (EDT)
  3. 🍒🍓🍊🍎🍈👾🔔🔑 Miles (talk) 15:49, 15 April 2017 (EDT)
  4. Sonic sux, I don't really know anything about Mega Man, and Pac-Man was a big part of my childhood so... Serpent SKSig.png King 18:42, 15 April 2017 (EDT)
  5. If we were looking at only classic Sonic, he'd get my vote, but that's not the case. Pac-Man's games, meanwhile, are more significant to the gaming industry and more enjoyable than Mega Man's games IMO. Nyargleblargle.pngNyargleblargle (Contribs) 19:53, 15 April 2017 (EDT)
  6. One vote for the yellow fellow ZatannaCobblepot (talk) 02:15, 17 April 2017 (EDT)
  7. Pac-Man reminds me of slot machines and this vote will make it triple 7s KoreanPJs (talk) 16:28, 18 April 2017 (EDT)
  8. Pac-Man started out as a yellow circle, with a slice occasionally cut out of it. From these humble origins evolved a character armed with fire hydrants, bonus fruits, and innumerable combos. Granted, Sonic and Mega Man have grown up from their roots, too, but Pac-Man's universe development has arguably been the most advanced. Pac-Man gets my vote and the votes of my compatriots for at the very least this reason, the reason that he has earned it. Everyman Or Nobody? (talk) 20:20, 26 April 2017 (EDT)

Comments

We'll see if I can return to weekly updates with this now that my schedule allows for it. Except for this first round, which'll be 2 weeks to get people back into it. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Emissary 10:48, 15 April 2017 (EDT)

So as you may know if you've been to the Discord, I got a new computer recently, and I'm still not 100% moved over - and of course Smash Arena is one of the things that isn't yet ported (low-priority stuff gets done last of course). So looks like this round will be up another week. If it gets delayed any further, hammer my talk page. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Resolute 12:23, 29 April 2017 (EDT)
