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 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. 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. 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 bannable offense. Probated users who attempt to circumvent their probation with sockpuppets are also committing a bannable offense and will have their vote discounted. Remember that admins have access to Check User 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.

  6. I wonder how they get the crowd up here... Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 12:08, 8 December 2012 (EST)

  2. ^ Naked Snake 200px-Naked Snake.jpg 00:47, 8 December 2012 (EST)

  4. This is playable normally. 98.113.20.196 10:24, 8 December 2012 (EST)
  5. It's Pokémon! ChuckNorris24.png 10:47, 8 December 2012 (EST)
  6. This stage is in 2 games. Terrible is Winter 12:06, 8 December 2012 (EST)
  7. Midair stadium is a boring version of Final Destination. Instead of flying through galaxies, we get a poorly rendered crowd. Well, in Pokemon's case it also has a poorly rendered crowded but a dynamic stage. --Havoc48 >:D!!! 12:09, 8 December 2012 (EST)
  8. It changes its layout often. I'm no stranger to the anime; Pokemon gyms have their own themes. 67.166.229.4 13:19, 8 December 2012 (EST)
  9. So Midair Stadium is in the middle of the air. So what? NOTHING BEATS POKÉMON!!! Air Conditioner AC.png ...or is he? 14:47, 8 December 2012 (EST)
  10. All I can say is that this stage brings back memories. Smash Master 15:16, 8 December 2012 (EST)

  14. In the era of Ken, this stage was considered the most balanced stage in melee. Since then, that title has been given to battlefield, but this stage is still one of my favorite counterpicks when Yoshi's Story or FD is banned. I'm a little uncertain when I counterpick this stage against Space animals, but I think Marth goes even against them on this field. There is enough room in the middle to chain throw them and the platforms are low enough like Yoshi's Story such that I can trap them with up tilts and up airs. --BrianDon't try me!Falco.gif 14:11, 9 December 2012 (EST)

Comments

You know, Mid-Air stadium is just FD with a different background. Don't think it has to be legal, though another FD like stage to counterpick is always nice.--BrianDon't try me!Falco.gif 14:13, 9 December 2012 (EST)

Round 166: Link vs. Samus

Link SSBB.jpg
 Winner!!
Link
Link SSBB.jpg

20 to 11
Samus SSBB.jpg
The two arsenal-toting adventurers of legend are back. While one fights at close range and the other prefers distances, they aren't exactly slouches in the other's department, and they both have the tools to cleave through enemy forces like paper. How will this tiebreaker end?

Votes for Link

  1. The green elf never loses against his opponents!!! Dots The Engineer NintenNESsprite.png 23:59, 30 November 2012 (EST)
  2. Can actually KILL! 204.191.140.194 00:20, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  3. He has a bow and arrow and a sword! The Awesome 09:00, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  4. Closely linked to my main, but not quite the samus him. Okay, that was extremely forced. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 09:49, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  5. Left-hander, baby!!!!!!!! Nintendosega75 (talk) 12:17, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  6. He's an archer. 108.162.156.108 12:27, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  7. I'm an open Zelda fan, what else would I vote for!The Cheese The Cheese.png 13:33, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  8. --Havoc48 >:D!!! 13:39, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  9. I'm not much of a Zelda fan, but I shall vote Link. I just like his good attack power folks. Scoring KO's as Samus (and Sonic for that matter), let alone win the match, can and will be such a pain. 67.166.229.4 14:57, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  10. There are more Links than Samuses. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 15:47, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  11. He can beat your a** legally! Terrible is Winter 17:03, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  12. Link is op with those bombs. :P LightningBlue405MS.png 17:08, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  13. Both are stupid.--68.43.192.71 17:12, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  14. LoZ > Metroid Naked Snake 200px-Naked Snake.jpg 01:53, 2 December 2012 (EST)
  15. Definitely prefer both Link and Legend of Zelda to Samus and Metroid. 110.174.90.69 20:21, 2 December 2012 (EST)
  16. Have I played Zelda? Every game since Twilight Princess. Have I played Metroid? Not even once.174.20.251.84 21:15, 2 December 2012 (EST)
  17. IMO, he has better moves. Red (talk) 14:27, 5 December 2012 (EST)
  18. I bet Link could save the Twinkies. ChuckNorris24.png 20:35, 5 December 2012 (EST)
  19. Link really has a good move set, even if he is a low tier. --Airconny (talk) 21:03, 5 December 2012 (EST)

  1. link rules he could easliy kick samus power suit but —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.87.21.181 (talk • contribs) 13:10, 3 December 2012 (EST)
  2. I just don't like girls.—Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎184.185.84.187 (talk • contribs) 21:31, 4 December 2012 (EST)

Votes for Samus

  1. She has the greatest taunts in the game. Seriously. You jump multiple tiers with it. And you get items. Fugudev 00:00, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  2. Samus' arsenal is more impressive, plus I'm more familiar with her games. Super Smash Bros.-wise, while Link is better at killing, Samus is a little more versatile and more of her attacks are executed faster. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 02:09, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  3. LAZORZ!!!!! BunnyHoodYoshi9001 Talk to me 08:00, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  4. I like Samus much, much better than Link. Of course, if this was Toon Link vs. Samus, that would be another story. Air Conditioner AC.png Helter skelter! 08:26, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  5. Laser beams vs. one of the lamest characters in the whole series? Please. 96.232.94.87 09:55, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  6. TheAwesomefroggy (talk) 11:39, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  7. Who said this had to be brawl Samus? After all, that's just a picture. While both Link and Samus are viable in Melee (being lenient on the definition of viable), Samus is a much better characters having an infinitely better recovery and zoning abilities. Those missiles are so very annoying. She is really hard to edgeguard; even Marth has to work for those gimps. Link dies after 1 down tilt. But if you kiddies must insist on talking about brawl, Samus still wins. She has a high tier counterpart with items to start the match as well as a long glide toss to complement them. The low tier Samus is still higher than Link on the tier list for many of the same reasons that Melee Samus outplaces Melee Link.--BrianDon't try me!Falco.gif 18:40, 2 December 2012 (EST)
  8. 142.244.165.34 13:02, 3 December 2012 (EST)
  9. I don't actually care but Link's 2nd half-vote made me choose Samus.68.115.61.130 12:31, 5 December 2012 (EST)
  10. Per Brian. Can do a superwavedash in Melee :> Bandit 20:44, 5 December 2012 (EST)
  11. She wears a power suite he wears tights. Brawls of fury (talk) 20:54, 5 December 2012 (EST)
