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, 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

  1. When voting, you can give a brief comment on why you voted the way you did, or you can just leave your signature.
  2. You can only vote 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 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.
  6. Put your vote below other votes; that is, so the votes are in chronological order.
  7. 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.
  8. You may only vote 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).
  10. 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.

Round 102: Flare Blade vs. Eruption

Roy's B move.jpg
 Winner!!
undecided

0 to 0
Erupt.jpg
Two charge-up sword attacks that, if allowed to wind up to maximum strength, produce large explosions almost guarenteed to KO. Which has the bigger bang?

Votes for Flare Blade

  1. Always loved this one. Miles (talk) 18:24, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
  2. Because Roy, dammit. ReiDemon 18:26, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
  3. Such an easy choice. Blindcolours tappity Tappity TAPPITY 18:31, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
  4. Two sword charges, hmm? When fully charged, one creates a giant freaking explosion by slamming a sword onto the floor while the other plunges a sword into the ground making a lackluster bust of flame. In my opinion, the choice is clear. Squishyfrog Chat 19:31, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
  5. Roy's our boy! --FireEmblemFan275 (talk) 19:35, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
  6. My suggestion appeared so fast :P ƋoӄԏoяΠɛəи99 {ROLLBACKER} 21:16, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
  7. Heh, appreciate all the love you're giving me. Lol. Lmfao. I'm only kidding. But yeah. Roy rules, Ike drools. --RoyboyX (talk) 21:21, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
  8. Roy has T3H PH1RE. inb4yousaidthatlasttimewhenyouvotedforroy -Ivy73002MS.png 22:11, 2 September 2011 (EDT)

  11. OHKO, that's all I have to say. 25T16 DrMarioHeadSSBM.png It's-a me! 11:35, 3 September 2011 (EDT)
  12. ..... I think so.... WolfHeadSSBB.png S454 12:22, 3 September 2011 (EDT)
  13. I miss this Roy dude. 67.173.145.76 12:25, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Half votes

  1. My vote only counts for a half vote. 174.254.130.158 19:10, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
  2. I've never played Melee, but something I do know is that Roy is cooler. Also, after examining the pictures, I think Flare Blade looks a lot cooler. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mastersword (talk • contribs) 02:52, 3 September 2011 (EDT)
  3. Roy's attack creates a pretty cool explosion, while Ike's Eruption is'nt that awsome! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.180.167.205 (talk • contribs) 09:44, 3 September 2011 (EDT)
  4. I've never played Melee, but I've watched videos and I think that Flare Blade looks and performs much better. Takava (talk) 13:09, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Votes for Eruption

  1. Difficult, this. But I don't remember Flare Blade having much effect unless at pretty high charge, while Eruption is powerful regardless. Plus, Flare Blade will get tons of votes saying t3h ph1re, so I'll say Eruption ToastUltimatum Transparent Swadloon.pngComplaints Box 18:30, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
  2. Even when it isn't fully charged, I've still had an easier time KOing opponents with this thanks to the moves vertical knockback when not fully charged. 66.222.171.225 18:44, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
  3. I remember once, when I was testing this move's OHKO possibility. I had told my cousin at the beginning of the match "just come over here. I'm trying to test whether this is a OHKO. Don't worry, it probably won't work". Guess what? It did. Mr. Anon (talk) 20:28, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
  4. Per Toast. --174.59.4.202 21:02, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
  5. I don't know Flare Blade ò.óLucas-IV- Combo God!Lucas alive.PNG 22:16, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
  6. I tend to get more KOs with Eruption than Flare Blade. 110.174.90.69 23:17, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
  7. Eruption Cw11cw 07:41, 3 September 2011 (EDT)
  8. I've never played Melee, so I know nothing about Flare Blade.--WolfHeadSSBB.png PSIWolf (T • C • E) 08:22, 3 September 2011 (EDT)
  9. Ike is just more powerful when it comes down to it, so Eruption is the clear winner.71.245.186.50 10:18, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Comments

I enjoy how similar those screenshots are. Miles (talk) 18:24, 2 September 2011 (EDT)

Yeah, too hard to decide so half-vote for me. 174.254.130.158 19:29, 2 September 2011 (EDT)

Wow, somebody actually used the new rule on half-voting I accidentally introduced! I feel so responsible... ToastUltimatum Transparent Swadloon.pngComplaints Box 19:18, 2 September 2011 (EDT)

Uhm, read the talk page. I was the one who suggested and argued for the allowance of intentional half votes. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 19:40, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
Yeah, you were the one responsible for it becoming legal. But I like to say I accidentally introduced it, because on the particular round, I was new to the wiki and hadn't thoroughly read the rules, so I didn't know what I did was illegal. Yet, next thing I know, a whole argument for legalisation happened, and the rule was introduced, all because I didn't know the true purpose of half-voting. That's why I think of it as a rule I brought in by accident. Credit to you for making it legal! ToastUltimatum Transparent Swadloon.pngComplaints Box 20:01, 2 September 2011 (EDT)

@PSIWolf Dude, someone needs to get you a copy of Melee. Now. 25T16 DrMarioHeadSSBM.png It's-a me! 11:37, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

I know! I have a GameCube ready, but not Melee itself...--FoxHeadSSBB.png PSIWolf (T • C • E) 11:38, 3 September 2011 (EDT)
You don't need a GameCube to play melee.... ƋoӄԏoяΠɛəи99 {ROLLBACKER} 12:01, 3 September 2011 (EDT)
...Or else I have a Wii, GC memory card and GC controller ready :P--WolfHeadSSBB.png PSIWolf (T • C • E) 12:03, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

@25T16 But Eruption is a OHKO as well. ToastUltimatum Transparent Swadloon.pngComplaints Box 12:15, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Round 101: Yoshi vs. Kirby

File:Yoshi.jpg
 Winner!!
Kirby

12.5 to 28.5
File:Kirby.jpg
The first fight of the second century is your run-of-the-mill Smasher vs. Smasher with similarities - the thing that make this place popular to begin with. Which hungry hero will come out on top?

Votes for Yoshi

  1. I use Yoshi a fair amount because of his massive damage down-air, and surprisingly powerful up-air. So Happy ♪ ToastUltimatum Transparent Swadloon.pngComplaints Box 18:32, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
  2. I like that constipated sound he makes when he flutter-jumps. Go Yoster! --174.59.4.202 19:05, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
  3. --66.222.171.225 20:58, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
  4. The stinging loss of Luigi vs. CF...so close. Anyway, when I first got Melee I played as him, so he holds some nostalgia to me.-Ivy73002MS.png 22:15, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
  5. I was going to make a risque joke here involving the words "licking" and "sucking", but nah. Hawk 21 (talk) 23:15, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
  6. Yoshi! No one can beat this guy. Anyone who can look cute as a small raptor in the live action movie Super Mario Bros has to be awesome. Plus he has the flutter jump. And he's always SO HAPPY. 25T16 DrMarioHeadSSBM.png It's-a me! 09:49, 27 August 2011 (EDT)
  7. YOSHI!Mesprit, Uxie, Azelf. Mesuxelf 10:20, 27 August 2011 (EDT)

  10. Yoshi has had way better than Kirby. --FireEmblemFan275 (talk) 19:03, 1 September 2011 (EDT)

Half votes

  1. Yoshi is the best character in any SSB. Could Kirby do a Flutter-Jump + Tailed Star-KO?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.4.18.16 (talk • contribs) 16:30, 27 August 2011
  2. . Nothing stops Yoshi. Super Luigi Bros. (talk) 11:00, 27 August 2011 (EDT)
  3. They both can pull off a sacrifice KO. However Yoshi lays eggs. --HavocReaper48 16:14, 29 August 2011 (EDT)
  4. Yoshi Is EPIC! Put The HURT ON KIRBY!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.97.249.21 (talk • contribs) 15:08, 30 August 2011 (EDT)
  5. Yoshi is a decent character, and so is Kirby. However, Yoshi has a hidden strength that Kirby lacks, the toungue. Kirby may be able to copy other abilities, but Yoshi is able to damage and stun enemies. 17:10, 31 August 2011 (EDT)17:10, 31 August 2011 (EDT)17:10, 31 August 2011 (EDT) —Preceding unsigned comment added by GalaxyDetective (talk • contribs) 17:10, 31 August 2011 (EDT)

Votes for Kirby

  1. HIII! Blindcolours Ganbarimasu! 18:26, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
  2. I play as neither frequently, but I'd much rather use Kirby over Yoshi. Because of those awesome hats he gets when he copies abilities. ReiDemon 18:29, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
  3. Let me think, a character that I really hate versus a character that I love? The answer seems obvious to me. Squishyfrog Chat 18:39, 26 August 2011 (EDT)

  7. Kirby sucks. Mr. Anon (talk) 19:59, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
  8. While I like Yoshi, as a character in Brawl he really isn't that great. 110.174.90.69 23:35, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
  9. Kirby literally sucks. Yoshi figuratively sucks. ƋoӄԏoяΠɛəи99 {ROLLBACKER} 23:40, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
  10. Kirby's not just a pink marshmellow, he's a yarn. Kirby's not just a yarn, he's a tank. And kirby's not just a tank, he's a car, a sub, a flying saucer and more. KIRBY IS EPIIIIIIICZò.óLucas-IV- Combo God!Lucas alive.PNG 23:45, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
  11. Kirby can copy opponents, but all Yoshi does is lay eggs. Mastersword (talk) 00:53, 27 August 2011 (EDT)
  12. It was a very hard decision. I actually like Yoshi but I like Kirby that little bit more. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 03:54, 27 August 2011 (EDT)
  13. Luigi's loss...it hurts! Anyways, Kirby is my fourth main. Yoshi? Not even close. --107.5.57.137 06:35, 27 August 2011 (EDT)
  14. Two things: Kirby can copy Wolf to look awesome, and the HAMMER. And I never use Yoshi.--PSIWolf (T • C • E) 06:53, 27 August 2011 (EDT)
  15. Puffball for the win! 67.173.145.76 23:14, 27 August 2011 (EDT)

  21. Kirby is the most bad-ass looking bubbegum ball i've ever come across. My vote goes for Kirby Amy (Heidi) Hedgefox (talk) 16:12, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

  2. Yoshi is an Annoying Sack of Dog Feces. Kirby may share his own moments of Annoyingness, but at least he can say a couple more things than his own name. I'd much rather have Toad in SSB than Yoshi. -Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.227.228.211 (EDT)

@Dr.Pain if you think kirby is worse than Yoshi, why is your vote in kirby's--Oh wait...I feel dumb... 25T16 DrMarioHeadSSBM.png It's-a me! 09:53, 27 August 2011 (EDT)

Because he's a terrible, terrible person. --FireEmblemFan275 (talk) 01:27, 1 September 2011 (EDT)
Obviously, you've never seen a NCS vid. He is in no way a horrible person. He actually used Super Mario Sunshine to quit smoking. Please, calm down. We're just having some fun. 25T16 DrMarioHeadSSBM.png It's-a me! 20:03, 1 September 2011 (EDT)

Uh, Yoshi isn't a "bottomless foodbag". His nature isn't to eat a lot, he's just known to swallow a lot of things (turning most of them into eggs). Yoshi enjoys fruit rather than other foods, unlike Kirby, who eats just about anything. Yoshi also has a stomach and can get full. Wario and even Mario are more of a "foodbag" than Yoshi is. The fact that Yoshi cannot swallow items is further proof that he isn't a glutton. Just saying, if that last part can be removed, it should. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 03:18, 1 September 2011 (EDT)
