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, 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.
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. Using the wrong number of "~"s counts as not signing - your signature must have both your signature itself and the time.
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. However, you are not to 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 are also not to post comments that are just pointing out/complaining how close/one sided a matchup is. These sorts of comments are worthless, and do nothing but make an already large page larger.
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).
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.
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.
As of this round, both Luigi and Captain Falcon are the kings of the Smash Arena, each with a 5-0 record. Which of them will finally lose a round, and which will become the biggest cheese?
Votes for Luigi
Gotta love Bluigi. Miles (talk) 21:40, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
Luigi is a favorable character. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 21:52, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
Luigi is among the most legendary video game characters in the world. There are maybe three people who had heard of Captain Falcon before they played SSB. Dr. 8-Bit (talk) 12:42, 21 August 2011 (EDT)

Both of these 2D-based stages represent unusual universes and have an odd series of platforms with interesting-sounding music. Which one will pull through?

So calm here. As opposed to having spikes ravage the stage? HavocReaper 21:09, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
I'll give this one a sympathy vote. 66.222.171.225 22:36, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
More visually appealing. Blindcolours Game Boy 23:25, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
That sound effect at the beginning is some of the most joyous 12 seconds you can ever have. Plus, Hanenbow looks lovely, and I generally have a soft spot for it, being obscure, and the whole name confusion when it was first seen. Also, seeing a Lv. 9 Mario use Super Jump Punch underneath the bottom leaf, and push it upwards with the attack so he can't recover, resulting in a victory for the Lv. 1 Toon Link was a marvellous event for me. So generally, I quite like this stage, then. ToastUltimatumFile:Swadloon Sprite.jpgComplaints Box
I like Hanenbow. It's definitely not the worst stage in the game... 67.173.145.76 22:44, 20 August 2011 (EDT)
Before Brawl, I never heard of Hanenbow. 68.174.11.29 20:46, 21 August 2011 (EDT)
Comments
Whoa, what's with all the Hanenbow hate? It's inferior to PictoChat, sure, but it's not completely useless. If anything, its far more entertaining that Mushroomy Kingdom 1-2 or Rumble Falls. ReiDemon 22:46, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
Dude, I'd never even HEARD of Hanenbow until Brawl. Although I do have to agree with liking it over Rumble Falls. 25T16It's-a me! 23:36, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
Also, if we're including all games, I'd still take Hanenbow over Big Blue and Brinstar Depths. And maybe Temple. ReiDemon 23:44, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
I don't know about Temple, but yeah, Big Blue and Brinstar are stupid ideas for a stage. 25T16It's-a me! 00:24, 20 August 2011 (EDT)
Read rule #7 ReiDemon, you are not to argue with other users on their choices and reasoning. 74.70.104.138 02:23, 20 August 2011 (EDT)
There's nothing that explicitly forbids him to. Smiddle 君怒る? 02:54, 20 August 2011 (EDT)
I'm not really arguing, I'm just questioning why people hate Hanenbow so much. >_>;;; ReiDemon 10:49, 20 August 2011 (EDT)
Your comment is still an argumentative comment at the opposing side. And yes it does Smiddle, there's no need for this page to be enlarged by an unneeded argument. OmegaTyrant 10:52, 20 August 2011 (EDT)
No. When I commented it only "recommended" users not to. Secondly, I was just stating the fact that it wasn't forbidden at that time; that does not mean that I think that this page should drown in useless debates. Smiddle 君怒る? 11:12, 20 August 2011 (EDT)
Regardless of wording, the intent was still the same, which was to forbid users from starting arguments in the comments. OmegaTyrant 11:16, 20 August 2011 (EDT)
Well, if the wording and the intent do not correspond, perception of the exact intent simply is hard. Smiddle 君怒る? 11:26, 20 August 2011 (EDT)
Where did the Hanenbow votes section go? 68.174.11.29 20:43, 21 August 2011 (EDT)
Normally, energy fields formed by intense concentration resist all incoming attacks equally. But these particular weapons have the uncanny ability to deplete shields like they're out of style. Which shield-eater is more liked?
Votes for Fan
I have never seen Mr. Saturn do anything before. The Fan is able to rack up 300% of damage. MegaTron1XD 20:53, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
Super Sudden Death, with fans only, on a flat stage with low blast lines. Total pandemonium. ReiDemon 20:56, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
Fan is better. Probably because I always get it and its fun spamming the melee button!! YAY!! Mr Saturn is lame.Tjahyadi (talk) 21:33, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
The fan doesn't make an annoying noise, and can actually kill. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 21:52, 19 August 2011 (EDT)

The fan can actually be deadly. 110.174.90.69 23:07, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
The Fan is cheap and annoying as all heck, but at least it's useful. Hawk 21 (talk) 23:22, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
"HA! I'm slapping you with a folded bit of paper and THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!" Well, there probably is, but that's not the point. Fuddlebob (talk) 01:28, 20 August 2011 (EDT)

With the fan you can mash the a button, but with the Saturn you throw, it, then you have to grab it, then throw it, so it gets annoying. Mastersword (talk) 21:37, 20 August 2011 (EDT)

Electric types are heavily underappreciated. Miles (talk) 21:40, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
I prefer electricity over fire. The two share a lot energy-wise, but electricity is a much rarer element. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 21:52, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
Even though Fire will most likely win(probably because everyone will be making stupid references to fire-related things >.>), electric has cooler effects to me. SquishyfrogChat 22:42, 19 August 2011 (EDT)

Marth has that fair, possibly the most complete attack in Smash. OmegaTyrant 19:47, 12 August 2011 (EDT)
Martha doesn't toss people. HavocReaper 19:48, 12 August 2011 (EDT)
Tough call, but Marth. Partially because of this image. ReiDemon 19:56, 12 August 2011 (EDT)
I feel more comfortable playing with Marth than Olimar. Then again, I never really used Olimar all that much, since I don't like his playstyle. Dornob (talk) 20:17, 12 August 2011 (EDT)
I'll vote Martha because her recovery is better, she has that Counter, and she also has a much larger army than Captain Olimar...most of which are probably rabid fangirls. Hawk 21 (talk) 20:53, 12 August 2011 (EDT)
Anyone who does not know why I voted Marth either does not know me or is retarded. DoctorPain99{ROLLBACKER} 21:46, 12 August 2011 (EDT)
Because Olimar is useless without his Pikmin. Mastersword (talk) 05:49, 13 August 2011 (EDT)
Olimar throw all of his Pikmins! Marth use Dancing Blade! Marth fried the sliced Pikmins! Marth give the Fried Pikmins to Olimar. Olimar eats it and thinks this is good!

While Marth is cooler and is undoubtedly a better character, I use and like Olimar much more as a character in Brawl, so my vote goes to him, not her. SquishyfrogChat 20:13, 12 August 2011 (EDT)
Pikmin is an amazing game. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 23:10, 12 August 2011 (EDT)

I definitely use Olimar more, mainly because of how unconventional of a fighter he is. He doesn't use a sword, he uses Pikmin. :D 67.173.145.76 11:34, 13 August 2011 (EDT)
It's such a pain to sweetspot most of Marth's attacks; when it comes to Pikmin and Olimar, I don't have to deal with this discrepancy as much. Dark Mai Valentine (talk) 14:55, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

I'm not familiar with Marth's games, so can someone educate me on the similarities between Marth and Olimar? Mr. Anon (talk) 16:02, 18 August 2011 (EDT)
The general idea for this battle is that both command large armies; in the Fire Emblem series, Marth ends up with a large army of followers whom he has recruited, and they fight alongside him, while Olimar can have tens of Pikmin following him, helping him out.
That said, I highly recommend you play a Fire Emblem game. They're really deep and entertaining. ReiDemon 16:58, 18 August 2011 (EDT)
