Captain Falcon SSBB.jpg
Two future-world bounty hunters with widespread reputations. One eliminates pirates and planets, while the other only does it on the side for fun - who gets paid for this match?

Votes for Samus

  1. I find Falcon to be overrated. 204.191.134.186 11:46, 16 February 2013 (EST)

  3. Her games are actually good. Pokemonxy (talk) 13:54, 16 February 2013 (EST)
  4. I just REALLY don't like Captain Falcon's special attack sound effects or his taunts. Crazy Hand (talk) File:CrazyHandPhoto.jpg 14:00, 16 February 2013 (EST)
  5. Samus is a favourite of mine, I only use Captain Falcon when I'm being experimental. Fedorakeeby11Yellowkirby.png 14:51, 16 February 2013 (EST)

Votes for Captain Falcon

  1. Despite not voting for his Falcon Punch the last round (which I know would win over Fire Jump Punch), Captain Falcon is still my man. Dots MewtwoMS.png The Gangnum Style 09:54, 16 February 2013 (EST)

  10. He's one of my best characters in all three games. Samus, on the other hand; she is one of my worst characters in 64 and Melee, but one of my moderately good characters in Brawl. RickTommy 22:12, 17 February 2013 (EST)

Round 177: Crate vs. Barrel

Crates.jpg
 Winner!!
Crate

16 to 14
Barrels.jpg
Squared stiff boxes and big fat barrels that either shatter or detonate on impact. Will the cubical container or cylindrical shape dole defeat?

Votes for Crate

  1. It's actually an aileron roll... DoctorPain99DP99Majora.png 23:57, 22 February 2013 (EST)
  2. I'm more used to getting my gifts in boxes. I never get gifts in cylinders. :P Dots MewtwoMS.png The Team Fortress 2 00:07, 23 February 2013 (EST)
  3. I have an easier time breaking these for items. 204.191.134.186 02:02, 23 February 2013 (EST)
  4. Crates have a maximum three-item yield and easier to deal with than barrels. 67.166.229.4 12:28, 23 February 2013 (EST)
  5. I like rolling crates better. Terrible is a Valentine 13:32, 23 February 2013 (EST)

  8. On behalf of the rolling crates. Those are brilliant items, shame they couldn't have a separate switch on the Item Menu. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 16:08, 23 February 2013 (EST)

  12. I like the look of the present box. 129.128.29.138 10:22, 26 February 2013 (EST)
  13. People are only voting for barrels because they're called barrels, which sounds similar to the barrel roll which is not technically a barrel roll. I would weep for humanity because of that, if I hadn't already done so.174.20.238.9 17:34, 28 February 2013 (EST)
  14. Barrels always roll and hit me and I don't like that. ChuckNorris24.png 17:38, 1 March 2013 (EST)
  15. 2 words: barrels roll. They roll off the stage and nothing happens. Crates can explode on impact or drop helpful items. Baconlover9090 (talk) 20:12, 1 March 2013 (EST)

Comments

this match might be very close Baconlover9090 (talk) 09:07, 2 March 2013 (EST)

You could sort of do a Ken Combo with ICs using Nair/Bair and fair. Also, comments about how close the contest is are not allowed. Ac2k 13:11, 2 March 2013 (EST)

I don't think Bair would work because you have to get back to the ground to turn around for the fair. I forget the trajectory for Nair, so I'll try it in Melee later (Brawl won't work because only Nana can spike with fair). In any case a more effective combo into fair would be simply f throw into fair.--BrianDon't try me!Falco.gif 14:26, 2 March 2013 (EST)

  1. Oil Panic is a great move. It's not the most useful move ever, but whenever I absorb an attack via PSI Magnet, I never seem to recover enough damage to avoid getting hit by a smash attack after I've finished using the magnet. If someone's throwing energy/electric projectiles at you, just grab your bucket and unleash your attack at them! It's also insane how much damage Oil Panic does after absorbing multiple PK Flashes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.92.35.200 (talk • contribs) 23:25, 12 March 2013 (EDT)
