SmashArena.png

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. 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 177: Crate vs. Barrel

Crates.jpg
 Winner!!
undecided

~ to ~
Barrels.jpg
Squared stiff boxes and big fat barrels that either shatter or detonate on impact. Will the cubical container or cylindrical shape dole defeat?

Votes for Crate

  1. It's actually an aileron roll... DoctorPain99DP99Majora.png 23:57, 22 February 2013 (EST)
  2. I'm more used to getting my gifts in boxes. I never get gifts in cylinders. :P Dots MewtwoMS.png The Team Fortress 2 00:07, 23 February 2013 (EST)
  3. I have an easier time breaking these for items. 204.191.134.186 02:02, 23 February 2013 (EST)
  4. Crates have a maximum three-item yield and easier to deal with than barrels. 67.166.229.4 12:28, 23 February 2013 (EST)
  5. I like rolling crates better. Terrible is a Valentine 13:32, 23 February 2013 (EST)
  6. I like boxes. Weird reason, I know. AquaKawwi 14:05, 23 February 2013 (EST)
  7. Barrels are stupid. I think that's pretty much why the Wii is box shaped. 67.142.171.27 15:51, 23 February 2013 (EST)User:BabyRosalinaMKW
  8. On behalf of the rolling crates. Those are brilliant items, shame they couldn't have a separate switch on the Item Menu. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 16:08, 23 February 2013 (EST)

  12. I like the look of the present box. 129.128.29.138 10:22, 26 February 2013 (EST)
  13. People are only voting for barrels because they're called barrels, which sounds similar to the barrel roll which is not technically a barrel roll. I would weep for humanity because of that, if I hadn't already done so.174.20.238.9 17:34, 28 February 2013 (EST)

Votes for Captain Falcon

  1. Despite not voting for his Falcon Punch the last round (which I know would win over Fire Jump Punch), Captain Falcon is still my man. Dots MewtwoMS.png The Gangnum Style 09:54, 16 February 2013 (EST)

  10. He's one of my best characters in all three games. Samus, on the other hand; she is one of my worst characters in 64 and Melee, but one of my moderately good characters in Brawl. RickTommy 22:12, 17 February 2013 (EST)
