It's the two swordsmen with completely different fighting styles - one focusing more on spacing, finesse, and tippers, whereas the other is more about power, fire, and close-range destruction. They never knew each other in their home universe, but they're certainly rivals in this one, especially since only one moved on into Brawl.
Votes for Marth
Obvious choice is obvious. Doctor Pain 99 (CTE) 19:40, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, Roy, even though you are my favorite of these two in Melee, because Marth is in both games, and is higher tiered in both, he wins my overally support. Mr.Anonteh awsome 22:17, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

I prefer playing as Roy so much more than playing as Marth. 110.174.90.69 05:14, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
How dare Ike try to replace this awesome character!Roy for the win! Zmario 10:22, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
When I first got Melee, I picked Roy as soon as I unlocked him. As soon as I found out that Roy and Marth were the same,but only differant,I challenged my friend. Roy won. Since the day roy went, the world wasnt right.Mesuxelf (talk) 21:12, September 13, 2010 (UTC)Mesuxelf

Roy is the winner!--67.233.102.196 22:39, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
No he isn't. In one of the fights a while back Peach was dominating at first, but Koopa made it through at the end. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr. Anon (talk • contribs) 23:54, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
Should we have Marth's Melee picture, or his Brawl picture here? Mr.Anonteh awsome 03:13, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
Who is Koopa? Is he Bowser?--67.233.102.196 10:24, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
Yes. Koopa is the Japanese name for Bowser.-Ivy73 14:45, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

Read their pages and find out yourself.--MegaTron1XD 15:31, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
@67.233.102.196: Yes, Purin is Jigglypuff and Lizardon is Charizard, and the info is in our articles, so in the future you can just look there. @Megatron1: If a user asks a question, you shouldn't say, "read their pages and find out yourself", as that sounds mean makes a user feel unwelcome. You should answer their question and tell them to look in the articles in the future, or just dont say anything at all. Doctor Pain 99 (CTE) 17:15, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

Nobody wins until the next round is uploaded, stop trying to call it yourself. ToomaiGlittershine 14:04, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
How do you watch the matches? Please tell me, Im new at this, and just learned what a signiture is on this site! Mesuxelf (talk) 17:57, September 15, 2010 (UTC)Mesuxelf
You don't watch them. The battles aren't real, they're just voting battles and whoever has the most votes by the time the next round is updated, wins. However, there is such a thing called an SA BOX. Just put {{ }} around SA BOX and put it on your user page.-Ivy73 18:08, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
When is each match updated?--67.233.102.196 21:16, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
When Toomai feels like updating them. Doctor Pain 99 (CTE) 22:38, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
Um, Toomai? It seems like at this point Roy is the clear victor. It would be nice to see an update. I don't mean to hurry you, I know you have a lot of projects going on like your Data Node, but just putting this here as a reminder that whenever you feel free it would be a good idea to update. Mr.Anonteh awsome 01:56, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
While they hail from two universes at completely different stages of scientific development, these two adventurers have the same job description - travel the land to collect a whole bunch of useful (and some useless) tools in order to defeat all those enemies that refuse to stay down. Whose collection of knicknacks and strangeness will allow them to win this battle?

Ocarina of time is widely considered the best game ever. Enough said. Anon 03:23, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
Link has the power of the Triforce on his side. Even hi-tech weapons couldn't defeat that. 110.174.90.69 06:41, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
I just wonder what Ganon's up to!-Ivy73 22:27, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
Link has a good side smash and Link is stronger than Samus.--Hotshotmandude12 (talk) 00:34, September 29, 2010 (UTC)

Votes for Samus
Does Link get paid for his adventure? No. Sword vs gun. Make the gun a laser. Have you not seen that video?--MegaTron1XD 03:04, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
Samus is just much better than Link. ☆TheSolarDragon☆ 19:37, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

Samus has an amzing throw. Su-me (talk) 01:07, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
Again, useless vote is useless. If they really had a fight, think about it: Samus has chozo armor, hyper mode, missiles, the morph ball, lasers, screw attack, space jump, phazon, and a whole team. Link just has a sword, a shield, bombs, arrows, and iron boots. ParaGoomba348 01:16, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
Samus > Link mainly for strength. I mean, seriously! Link got nerfed transitioning from SSBM to SSBB. Samus' final smash (Zero Laser, for those who don't know) is way more powerful. Link's FS is just focused on one opponent (unless someone else is stupid enough to walk right in it.) While Samus' FS hits everyone. It's powerful enough to OHKO! Okay, I'm done lecturing. Overall, my vote's for Samus.Ultrasonicfan (talk) 20:31, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
51/49 in Samus's favor (in terms of how much I like them). BNK [E|T|C] 20:58, October 5, 2010 (UTC)
Samus dominates Link. Why? Samus can actually recover decently.Seevea (talk) 20:22, October 7, 2010 (UTC)
