Forums: Index → Smash Arena → Smash Arena

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome, editors and users, to the Smash Arena! Each week this forum hosts a tussle between two characters 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, just vote if you are a total fanboy of the character. So what are you waiting for? Get voting! Remember, you can remain anonymous! If you have any requests for future fights, please feel free to leave a message here.

The Rules

When voting, you can give a brief comment on why you voted the way you did, or you can just leave your signature.
You can only vote once. Any multiple votes will be removed.
Put a # before your vote to facilitate the vote counting.
Type ~~~~ after your vote to sign it, whether you are logged in or not.
There is a line in each section consisting of "DO NOT ADD COMMENTS OR EDIT ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE". You are to do so; 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.
Put your vote below other votes; that is, so the votes are in chronological order.
Any comments about the fight should be left in the comment section. It is recommended that you do not post argumentative, accusative, or any sort of comment with the intention of starting an argument with someone on the opposing side. The Smash Arena is a popularity contest, there's no need to argue with the other side on why your choice is superior, or why they are wrong with their reasoning for picking their choice.
You may only vote in the current fight; all previous fights are closed.
Do not leave a space between your comment and the ones above it (and/or below it).
Do not put your vote in the Half-Votes section. It is not where anonymous users vote, nor is it acceptable to want your vote to be worth half. It is basically saying "I want to be punished", and you will be treated accordingly.
If there are multiple fights in a single round, try to make all your votes in a single edit.

If your vote is not added correctly - that is, it breaks rules 3, 4, or 5 - you have one hour to fix it. After this time, it may be 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. In addition, if your votes-to-rulebreaks ratio climbs too high, your votes may count for zero until the ratio drops to an acceptable level.

Round 75 Three-Quarter Fiver

Mario vs. Wario

File:Mario.jpg	Winner!! undecided 0 to 0		File:Wario.jpg
We start the quintuple-header with a fight that needs no introduction. So there won't be one! Will the "M" or "W" win?
Votes for Mario		Votes for Wario I hate Mario more than Wario. Mega Tron1 XD 22:57, 25 February 2011 (EST) Wario's garlic says it all. Floor2000x (talk) 23:00, 25 February 2011 (EST) Fat says that he is top tier like Meta Knight is fat too. ..... (talk) 23:02, 25 February 2011 (EST)

Luigi vs. Diddy Kong

File:Luigi.jpg	Winner!! undecided 0 to 0		File:Diddy.jpg
Next up is a pair of second bananas, both more agile and less conventional than their more well-known counterparts. Both originating as palette swaps before being distinctified in later games, which of the two has it here?
Votes for Luigi YEAH! Epic Down Taunt! Floor2000x (talk) 23:00, 25 February 2011 (EST)		Votes for Diddy Kong I barely like Luigi. Diddy is just epic item spam. Mega Tron1 XD 22:57, 25 February 2011 (EST)

Bumper vs. Flipper

	Winner!! undecided 0 to 0
Two items designed to whack anyone that gets in range once set, with the main difference being that the Flipper bonks you multiple times while the Bumper gives you a healthy (though non-damaging) punt. They've never co-existed, so which one has the fan approval?
Votes for Bumper Can get KOs much easier. Mega Tron1 XD 22:57, 25 February 2011 (EST)		Votes for Flipper These were so annoying to me in Melee, slowly kills you while teh bumper is a 0hko. Floor2000x (talk) 23:01, 25 February 2011 (EST)

Link vs. Marth

	Winner!! undecided 0 to 0		File:Marth.jpg
While Link is certainly less one-dimensional than Marth's sword-only fighting style, the blue-haired one has finesse that the Hero of Time/Hyrule/Twilight/etc may not be able to match. Which ends up being the victor?
Votes for Link		Votes for Marth I'm a Fire Emblem fan at heart. Mega Tron1 XD 22:57, 25 February 2011 (EST)

Squirtle vs. Ivysaur vs. Charizard

File:Squirtlessbb.png	File:BrawlIvysaur.png	File:Charizard.png
Winner!! undecided 0 to 0
The last battle in this five-pack is a three-way between Pokémon Trainer's three Pokémon. Like other multi-way fights, this won't count in the statistics. Will it be the representative of water, grass, or fire that wins?

Round 74: Olimar vs. Pikmin

	Winner!! Pikmin File:Pikmin 080111b.jpg 13 to 24.5		File:Pikmin 080111b.jpg
Time for an unorthodox fight! This particular throwdown pits the general against his men, as it were. Is it the face of the army that gets the goods, or will it be the workers that get the props?
Votes for Olimar And just how well were Pikmin faring on their own before Olimar got them organized? Miles (talk) 22:02, 18 February 2011 (EST) They weren't exactly flourishing at the start of Pikmin 2. They so need Olimar.Mega Tron1 XD 22:07, 18 February 2011 (EST) Including the aforementioned comments above, there are a vast many (like, maybe over 40 :?) who use solimar.Vincent Tran Blorbs? 02:35, 19 February 2011 (EST) Just look at him! He is awesome! ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 03:16, 19 February 2011 (EST) Olimar is useless without his pikmin, but pikmin are useless without olimar.. And also, he looks so epic! `Mesprit, Uxie, Azelf. Mesuxelf` 10:27, 19 February 2011 (EST) Olimar can still fight without pikmin, plus there are two pikmin that aren't in Brawl LordNock (the guy with the pie) (talk) 13:49, 19 February 2011 (EST) Olimar controls the Pikmin. 'Nuff said. The White Blur , The Whitest Thing Alive' I love just running around as Olimar and punching random enemies on Pikmin. Made even more fun by the fact he gets rocket gloves in Pikmin 2. Fuddlebob (talk) 00:55, 20 February 2011 (EST) Even though Olimar is nothing without his Pikmin, his Pikmin without Olimar are even less! At least Olimar can do something by himself. Critical Hit, and... KO! 08:44, 22 February 2011 (EST) Olimar is a good character for me in brawl. The pikmin would just run around the stage screaming without him.24.30.130.49 14:41, 22 February 2011 (EST) In the best ending of Pikmin, Olimar inspires the Pikmin to work for themselves. The Pikmin 2 pikmin I think are in a different part of pikmin planet, but either way, Olimar is an average everyday guy, who just does stuff to feed his family. So there.Dhawk (talk) 14:13, 23 February 2011 (EST) Olimar can take a hit, unlike the Pikmin. Omega Tyrant 14:23, 23 February 2011 (EST) Olimar survived well without them, and he can take more hits than them. Also, most of his attacks dont need him.

Doc King (talk) 23:43, 18 February 2011 (EST) Olimar couldn't be that good playable characters without using his Pikmins. --178.37.127.133 01:55, 19 February 2011 (EST) Changed vote. I decided that pikmin are more powerful than Olimar and they are beast. ..... (talk) 02:01, 19 February 2011 (EST) Without the Pikmin Olimar would've died on the pikmin planet. 110.174.90.69 05:41, 19 February 2011 (EST) Purple Pikmin is just pure win. Zero (talk) 06:10, 19 February 2011 (EST) A Pikmin without leader don't know what to do, Olimar without Pikmin is USELESS Lucasthefourth Psychic Power 07:41, 19 February 2011 (EST) pikmin are so cute--Peach67809 (talk) 09:35, 19 February 2011 (EST) Your joking right? Without his Pikmin, Olmair is pathetic. Hevck, he doesn't even know how to punch or kick and probably couldn't with those arms! Pikmin are unstoppable army that spread fear throughout planets! TheBioShadow (talk) 10:48, 19 February 2011 (EST) Olimar is nothing without his pikmin --204.191.132.110 12:03, 19 February 2011 (EST) From a Smash perspective, these guys are awesome. In the Pikmin games, they suck. Luckily we're talking about this on a Smash related scope, so, Pikmin! Havoc Reaper 16:46, 19 February 2011 (EST) as the chinease one from snake said: they fight, they help, they multiply, and then they get eaten... how terrible, give some respect to those funny, weak, and edible things! of course, i never played Pikmin... but it's name seems a bit like pokemon... so... WATCH THE POWER OF NEGATIVE ZONE!85.250.140.18 12:31, 20 February 2011 (EST) The Pikmin are the reason Olimar is even a character in this game.98.116.118.143 19:08, 20 February 2011 (EST) It's 5 on 1, kinda obvious who wins 75.32.32.229 13:45, 21 February 2011 (EST) Olimar is nothing without his Pikmin, but the Pikmin are nothing without Olimar. I'll vote for the real contender in smash.198.166.220.113 16:15, 21 February 2011 (EST) The series is called Pikmin, not Olimar.

In brawl, when Olimar doesn't have Pikmin he stinks. He can't even use smash attacks. The point is is that Pikmin are the ones who actually brawl. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.115.28 (talk • contribs) 10:12, 24 February 2011 (EST)
Comments Can't decide but more better match. .....

WATCH THE POWER OF NEGATIVE ZONE! So they're useless without each other, true? this is like... Popo vs Nana... no wait, they're the same... Sigh I wish KirbytheAmazing could vote right now, he's on study trip to Bali... Lucasthefourth Psychic Power 05:01, 21 February 2011 (EST) I never looked closely at Olimar's hands before...Those gloves make his hands look mechanized. Brawlingbrian LAND MASTER! 11:32, 22 February 2011 (EST) Another crazy ratio match....... ..... (talk) 17:17, 22 February 2011 (EST) I tried to get a computer with internet connection, and I only see another we-already-know-the-winner battle? THIS IS MADNESS!Kirbythe Amazing 22:36, 22 February 2011 (EST) But this one actually came from suggestion, i remember someone suggest this... Lucasthefourth PK Thunder!! 09:23, 23 February 2011 (EST) Whoever made this suggestion... I will say this to him/her: "YOU'RE A JOKE!"Kirbythe Amazing 03:21, 24 February 2011 (EST) If the community likes a suggestion, it usually makes it in. Toomai Glittershine The Emissary 11:14, 24 February 2011 (EST) Remember that how good a matchup is is based on the amount of votes it generates from being interesting. The Smash Arena is a popularity contest involving voting, not actual fights, so stop complaining about these votes not being close. If you were to understand the basics of voting, you would see that landslide victories are much more common than close, nearly tied votes. I'll also like to add that Toomai nor the person making the suggestion has no foresight on how the vote will turn out, so demanding "close matchups" to be chosen is demanding something that cannot be done (not to mention that trying to choose "close matchups" only will cause the Smash Arena to lose out on interesting matchups with no real gain in return). So keep this all in mind the next time you complain about a vote not being close. Oh, and never insult Toomai nor the person who made the suggestion based on such a ridiculous basis they have no control over. Omega Tyrant 12:00, 24 February 2011 (EST) It is kind of hard to decide this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.115.28 (talk • contribs) 14:42, 24 February 2011 (EST) Remember to sign your comments with four tildes ~~~~. Omega Tyrant 15:16, 24 February 2011 (EST) I only can say, hello Friday! Kirbythe Amazing 04:35, 25 February 2011 (EST) I agree. And to think that when I saw this I thought it would actually be a bit closer than the last 3 or 4... my mistake. Fuddlebob (talk) 05:18, 25 February 2011 (EST) Well, the difference even get bigger! (Pikmin's score = 2 x Olimar's score) = Made me LOLKirbythe Amazing 12:30, 25 February 2011 (EST) I was playing today as Olimar, and one of the Red Pikmin was impaled by one of Link's arrows aand survived. The Pikmin can take a hit.Brawlingbrian LAND MASTER! 19:00, 25 February 2011 (EST) That's common knowledge. However, they can only take a few hits. Olimar is capable of taking much more. Mega Tron1 XD 19:01, 25 February 2011 (EST) Yeah, but pikmin are there to help Olimar do more damage. ..... (talk) 20:05, 25 February 2011 (EST) And Olimar only can use a 'really' few moves without Pikmins... Kirbythe Amazing 20:16, 25 February 2011 (EST) This guy named HTK (someone new) just voted. .....
