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. 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.

Votes for Sheik

  7. shiek!!!!! --Igor The Mii (talk) 21:00, 21 July 2013 (EDT) PKFLASH BOMB

Votes for Zero Suit Samus

  1. I'm sorry, but she's much more attractive that a woman dressed as a man. DoctorPain99 23:23, 19 July 2013 (EDT)
  2. What DoctorPain99 said, plus, she's hawt. -- Conny Airconny Snake Sig.png 23:25, 19 July 2013 (EDT)
  3. 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)

  5. I don't see anything special about her... Dots MewtwoMS.png The Medic 10:06, 20 July 2013 (EDT)
  6. I don't like Sheik at all, I'll tell you what. 67.166.229.4 13:33, 20 July 2013 (EDT)
  7. 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)
  8. dat ass Bandit 14:43, 20 July 2013 (EDT)
  9. I like Sheik, but Zero Suit Samus is downright fun to play as! Washi (talk) 14:46, 20 July 2013 (EDT)
  10. Down smash. Stunning is awesome. Scr7Wolfsig.png 16:47, 20 July 2013 (EDT)
  11. 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. TheAtomicFirePichuHeadSSBM.png (talk) 17:14, 20 July 2013 (EDT)
  12. 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. LightningBlue405MS.png 19:17, 20 July 2013 (EDT)
  13. Better character design. Also, come on guys, do you have to be stereotypical and pick Zamus because "she's hot"? Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 01:08, 21 July 2013 (EDT)
  14. Samus? Respond! Responnnnnnnnnn... ChuckNorris24.png 09:19, 22 July 2013 (EDT)

Winner!!
Toon Link
WW Link.png

7.5 to 9.5 to 11
These three incarnations of a legendary hero have battled each other previously, but now it's time for a group hug slug. Will it be the Hero of Time, Hero of Winds, or Hero of Twilight?

Votes for Link

  1. Yeah...never liked Link, but it saddens me to see he's never been a good character choice in Smash history. So...yeah, pity vote, this. 67.166.229.4 13:04, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  2. i dont really like any of them but link is the original and the other 2 are clones RoyalRapids (talk) 18:44, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  3. Have always preferred to play as the Adult Link. 110.174.90.69 06:27, 14 July 2013 (EDT)
  4. Hey if this one wasnt made the other two wouldn't exist82.225.106.36 19:14, 14 July 2013 (EDT)
  5. The real Link! Not these clones. SeanWheeler (talk) 17:09, 15 July 2013 (EDT)
  6. Why the hell is Link's subordinate childhood and chibi forms getting more votes? It's a gosh-darn HERO OF TIME! That, and I prefer the manly screams and shouts /this/ Link does rather than the whiney Beiber cries the other ones force out of their underdeveloped peach mouths. MegiBeelzebub MegiBeelzebub.png 14:35, 17 July 2013 (EDT)
  7. Young Link and Toon Link are weak. Link is da boss! Awesomelink234 (talk) 18:38, 19 July 2013 (EDT)

Half-votes

  1. Link is the best! 107.211.34.20 14:07, 13 July 2013 (EDT)

Votes for Young Link

  1. I play OoT almost everyday just to hear Young Link's shouts and grunts. Call me weird but I do love them. -- Conny Airconny Snake Sig.png 00:06, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  2. What Conny said, add the fact that Majora's Mask is the best Zelda. DoctorPain99 00:08, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  3. Again, Ocarina of Time. Dots MewtwoMS.png The Editor 01:11, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  4. Scr7Wolfsig.png 03:18, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  5. I recently got Ocarina of Time 3D and I love it. Plus, I love Saria's Song. ChuckNorris24.png 11:02, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  6. My 2nd Main in Melee plus Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time rock. ----- Conanshinichi 09:27, 14 July 2013 (EDT)
  7. He drinks his milk. Bandit 16:56, 14 July 2013 (EDT)
  8. Milk- the manliest drink on the Earth.75.31.4.16 21:42, 14 July 2013 (EDT)
  9. Majora's mask. Best. Game. Ever. Deku link!Sonicmario22 (talk) 10:57, 19 July 2013 (EDT)

Votes for Toon Link

  1. Because I find him to be the most enjoyable to play as, and I like his cartoony style.71.105.121.171 00:07, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  2. Young Link is essentially an inferior Link, just like Pichu is an inferior Pikachu. Plus Toon Link is the only character of the three to be actually viable, and the only one to have an actually decent aerial game. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 08:21, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  3. Now while my favourite character as a character is Young Link, when we're voting on behalf of their Smash Bros. counterparts, surely my vote is obvious. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 10:05, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  4. Just because Wind Waker is on Gamecube. Terrible is Terrible 13:19, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  5. He's Link, except actually usable.174.20.244.202 23:15, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  6. Out of all 3 link incarnations, I think that toon link is the best and kind of stands out. To me, link was just that guy you'd play as after Mario, and I never thought young link was useful. But I enjoyed playing as toon link the most.TheAtomicFire (talk) 10:16, 14 July 2013 (EDT)
  7. One of my mains in Brawl.Tepig (talk) 19:59, 14 July 2013 (EDT)
  8. Wind Waker on Wii U! kirbyman (talk) 13:54, 15 July 2013 (EDT)
  9. The one I use in Smash. I need to actually play Wind Waker. JamesJH-Heartless.pngHeart 15:29, 15 July 2013 (EDT)
  10. Toon Link is my favorite character in Brawl. Link's inferior speed and air game is all but gone with this incarnation of Link. I love all of the changes made (except for decreased power and range): his damaging boomerang, the ever spammable floaty bow, and large blast range bombs are all welcome. Plus he can shoot TWO arrows in ONE short hop along with other techniques. The relatively weak kicks from the other version's aerials are replaced with sword slashes. The down aerial is a force to be reckoned with that increases Link's longevity, provides an option to deal with multiple grounded foes, and allows for powerful gimp KOs if performed right. He is by far the best version of Link. 173.58.244.205 23:08, 15 July 2013 (EDT)
