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 183: Knee Smash vs. Falcon Punch

Knee Smash.png
 Winner!!
undecided

~ to ~
Falcon Punch SSBB.jpg
While the former is certainly less memetic than the latter, it tends to be significantly more useful in-game. Which move earns top spot?

Votes for Knee Smash

  1. Very much more satisfying when you land this one, it feels like a much more solid hit.75.31.4.16 23:25, 12 April 2013 (EDT)
  2. Falcon Punch can get cancelled by Jigglypuff's neutral attack.84.92.35.200 05:15, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
  3. I played Street Fighter for the Playstation with my sister yesterday as Allen. I KO'd her character with a knee attack, to which I said: "Knee of Justice! Oh, wait, that's Captain Falcon." Lugiaboy202 (talk) 07:29, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
  4. Much as I'd like to claim I kneerly voted the other way, I've always favoured the Knee Smash. I think it's more satisfying and entertaining to land. Plus, Ganondorf doesn't have a superior version of this move. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 08:16, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
  5. I have seen a couple of Captain Falcon combo videos, and most of them always finish off the opponent with a well landed Knee Smash. -- Airconny Airconny Snake Sig.png 08:44, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
  6. Falcon Punch is slower.--PSIWolf a.k.a. Luna! 09:17, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
  7. Right you are, previous voter. Falcon Punch is pretty lacking in practicality. Knee Smash beats the banjos out of Falcon Punch any 'ole day of the week. 67.166.229.4 11:25, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
  8. Much more of a surprising attack, therefore, more effective :o Lucas-IV- CREEP MCLucas.png

Votes for Falcon Punch

  1. scene from the anime. 204.191.134.186 23:41, 12 April 2013 (EDT)
  2. More well known.71.105.121.171 00:03, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
  3. FALCON PAWNCH!!!!!! Does Knee Smash have any cool sound effect?Awesome Cardinal 2000 07:46, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
  4. The ultimate in badass finishers. infernape612 15:08, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
  5. The flame effects. Gotta love 'em! SmashBall the Milkshake (talk) 17:13, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
  6. knee smash, compare that to falcon punch! Griffin947DP99Majora.png19:24, 13 April 2013 (EDT)

 Winner!!
Peach's Castle

25 to 17
HyruleCastleOoT.png
Epic castles on green grounds that serve as two of the first arenas in the series. With roofs as red and green as their protagonists' and rulers of equal job descriptions, which stone sanctuary besieges the other?

  5. Magical paintings, don't go saying peach's castle = no magic. Fedorakeeby11Yellowkirby.png Failcon Pawch!! 07:14, 7 April 2013 (EDT)
  6. If it were on the basis of the Super Smash Bros. stages themselves, then I'd go Hyrule. But as it's the castles themselves, I love to go around Peach's Castle in Super Mario 64 DS, dialogue hunting. Hyrule Castle...

  25. DANG IT IF I WOULD'VE VOTED LAST TIME OLIMAR WOULD'VE WON!!!! ChuckNorris24.png 18:10, 12 April 2013 (EDT)

Votes for Hyrule Castle

  1. If the Mushroom Kingdom gets a different ruler, they would have to change the name of Peach's Castle. That isn't a problem in Hyrule Castle; it keeps its name, regardless of the ruler.71.105.121.171 00:07, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
  2. Ocarina of Time for the win. :D Dots MewtwoMS.png The Wolf 00:10, 6 April 2013 (EDT)

  4. Looks cooler. 204.191.134.186 02:35, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
  5. Looks more like a real castle. Awesome Cardinal 2000 07:09, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
  6. I played both games, but I'll be darned if sneaking into a castle isn't considered fun. I also enjoy Oot so much. -- Airconny Airconny Snake Sig.png 09:12, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
  7. Zelda has magic. Peach has... vegetables? Shouldn't it be fruit that she usually uses?174.20.238.9 11:10, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
  8. 75.31.4.16 11:54, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
  9. Zelda is cooler. infernape612 12:19, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
  10. Peach's Castle is too fruity. BlueRidiculous 14:57, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
  11. Who would bother playing a serious match on Peach's Castle? Not me, so I'll vote Hyrule Castle. 67.166.229.4 19:09, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
  12. This is where the final match of TRG's SSB64 Tournament took place. Toadat9021doh (talk) 20:52, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
  13. Far more enjoyable stage. 110.174.90.69 00:54, 8 April 2013 (EDT)
  14. I just think this is from a cooler series Griffin94719:04, 8 April 2013 (EDT)
  15. Hyrule Castle, in my opinion, is designed better, is much less garish, actually has some semblance of security, and is helmed by a relatively competent ruler. Also, you don't wanna underestimate The King. Hawk 21PSIWolf sig 1.pngTalk 16:05, 8 April 2013 (EDT)
  16. I fell in love with Zelda with OoT. Plus, this is the only stage used in SSB. in Peru, and they're no joke. Doomolish (talk) 02:00, 9 April 2013 (EDT)
  17. I prefer Link to Mario and Zelda to Peach. 86.155.48.115 09:10, 9 April 2013 (EDT)
