Forums: Index → Smash Arena → Smash Arena

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome, editors and users, to the Smash Arena! Each week this forum hosts a tussle between two characters 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

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.
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. It is recommended that you do not 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 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).
Do not put your vote in the Half-Votes section. It is not where anonymous users vote, nor is it acceptable to want your vote to be worth half. It is basically saying "I want to be punished", and you will be treated accordingly.

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.

Round 67: Ridley vs. Rayquaza

	Winner!! undecided 0 to 0
Two pretty large dragon-shaped creatures are this round's subjects. While one is considered "legendary" and can make the weather shut up, the other is apparently immune to death and will keep on your tail even when the planet blows up. Which of these two will come out on top?
Votes for Ridley I´m sorry but my favorite games are Metroid and I know for personal experience how badass he is in the Metroid games (altough in SSBB is much more weak). Zero (talk) 11:08, 1 January 2011 (EST) I'll have to say, this was one of the hardest votes I've ever experianced. I love Pokemon and Rayquaza, but rayquaza, the 5th strongest pokemon out of over 600, got defeated by a monkey. I think that Ridley is epic, well, he came back to life! Mesuxelf (talk) 13:09, 1 January 2011 (EST) I am sick and tired of Pokemon dominating everything in the Smash ArenaGig (talk) 16:46, 1 January 2011 (EST) I love pokemon but I had a friend who had a lv. 100 Rayq. and I beat it every time. Plus it is so hard to beat ridley in all of his games.Sonicsmasher777 (talk) 23:42, 1 January 2011 (EST) Ridley is a very unique villain among video games. Unlike nearly every other villain, Ridley has a deep, personal conflict with Samus that is not related at all to "stopping his plans" or "interfering with his orders". As a result, he keeps being resurected and reborn, each time with the same malice he feels towards Samus. This is relfected in SSE. Rayquaza simply does not have this kind of background, and thus is a much less developed character (if having any developement at all, considerering its series). Mr. Anon (talk) 00:05, 2 January 2011 (EST) I just enjoy destroying Ridley more than Rayquaza, that's why I vote for Ridley. Welikeikeandfoxes (talk) 15:54, 2 January 2011 (EST) Today I was playing Metroid: Other M and I had to fight Ridley. NOT EASY. I got killed six times! Ridley is clearly better then some other dragon thing that could easily be killed with a solid Ice type attack. 68.174.12.142 22:52, 2 January 2011 (EST) Three reasons: First, because I've just been playing Metroid: Other M, and I'm in a Samus mood, Secondly, in SSE, you're forced to vs Rayquaza with Diddy or Fox, which are both easily among my worst characters, and lastly, the insane amount of times that Ridley tries to come back to kill you (Ridley in about 5 metroid games, Meta Ridley in Metroid Prime, and Omega Ridley in Metroid Prime 3). Also, he's purple, and purple is my favourite colour. And I never really liked the Gen III pokemon, amd Dragon/Flying is an overused type combination anyway. And Rayquaza's ability is kinda useless. Just sayin'. Fuddlebob (talk) 08:09, 3 January 2011 (EST) Pokemon have been winning too many battles recently, so I choose Ridley to give the non-Pokemon series a chance. --86.152.206.96 02:18, 4 January 2011 (EST) I don't want Pokemon to win again, so, Ridley.198.166.216.82 19:04, 4 January 2011 (EST) Half votes Well my fav is the metroid games and pokemon is getting a little borning. So I well go with Ridley—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.230.15.75 (talk • contribs) 3:50		Votes for Rayquaza Dragon vs. Dragon. Both can fly. Rayquaza vs. Ridley. Meta Ridley would win, but Ridley loses to Rayquaza. And I'm into Pokemon more. PKFire MetaKnight! I just like Pokemon more.Mega Tron1 XD 10:18, 1 January 2011 (EST) I play Pokemon, and, from what I've seen, Rayquaza is extremely strong. Besides, I barely even know Metroid. Brawlingbrian LANDMASTER! 10:22, 1 January 2011 (EST) Pokemon FTW. Plain and simple.-Ivy 73 10:30, 1 January 2011 (EST) Pokemon is in my Top 5 video game series list and Ryquaza is in my Top 5 Legendary Pokemon List. Obvious answer. Zeldasmash (talk) 10:42, 1 January 2011 (EST) Besides being among my favorite pokemon, he's one of my favorite bosses to fight, and he's more difficult imo than Ridley is. His extreme resistances and more difficult to dodge attacks provide a greater challenge than Ridley's more powerful attacks. Omega Tyrant 10:45, 1 January 2011 (EST) Second fight I suggested in a row! Go Rayquaza! ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 10:46, 1 January 2011 (EST) Batteling Rayquaza was more interisting and thrilling. It's also a POKEMON a LEGENDARY one also.Zeegamer (talk) 13:56, 1 January 2011 (EST) Hoenn Pokemon rock. havoC-- 15:12, 1 January 2011 (EST) I've never found a boss that's simple to defeat in adventure mode than Rayquaza. Lili Rochefort 1965 (talk) 16:57, 1 January 2011 (EST) Ridley i easier to defeat, anytime i fight Rayquaza, i always at least get damaged, heheh Lucasthefourth -.- (talk) 00:57, 2 January 2011 (EST) It's 'cause Rayquaza is so twisty and awesome.... ;3 RoZo (talk) 12:05, 2 January 2011 (EST) I find Rayquaza to be extremely powerful, both in SSBB and in the Pokemon games. Ridley on the other hand I don't know enough about. 110.174.90.69 22:09, 2 January 2011 (EST) Rayquaza is one of my main uber Pokemon, and it's just very awesome. --UilMash (talk) 09:16, 3 January 2011 (EST) Rayquaza wins.

Comments This feels like another one-sided vote. It hasn't even been an hour into the battle yet and Rayquaza has 6 votes, while Ridley has 0. Brawlingbrian LANDMASTER! 11:07, 1 January 2011 (EST) In anything involving voting, one sided votes are more common than close ones :p Omega Tyrant 13:35, 1 January 2011 (EST) Just a little FYI, Rayquaza cannot control the weather completely. He can only make it peaceful. He cannot make it not ever make it rain, or make it rain, or make a storm. Mesuxelf (talk) 13:10, 1 January 2011 (EST) Kyogre and Groudon can make it rain and make it stop, respectivly.Sonicsmasher777 (talk) 23:39, 1 January 2011 (EST) uhh... I think it IS another one sided vote... but at least better than the fight before this! (latias latios vs kat and ana) Lucasthefourth -.- (talk) 04:16, 2 January 2011 (EST) I think it is because there are so many generations of Pokemon, and people know pikachu more than samus. Welikeikeandfoxes (talk) 15:56, 2 January 2011 (EST) Samus and Ridley go through way more Character Development than Deoxys and Rayquaza.198.166.216.82 13:28, 3 January 2011 (EST) God! Stop using Pokemon in the fights!198.166.216.82 18:59, 4 January 2011 (EST)

Round 66: Kat & Ana vs. Latias & Latios

	Winner!! Latias & Latios 5.5 to 21.5
A pair of a pair of assisters, both sweeping across the screen in a cross pattern, each never appearing without their twin. Is it the Pokémon or the swordsgirls that take this battle?
Votes for Kat & Ana No one voted for them so far, so yea. Also, warioware is awsome :D. Vincent Tran Blorbs? 03:41, 25 December 2010 (EST) These ninjas are awesome in the games. The pokemon is a bit overrated. Plus, K&T strikes with far more accuracy than the double Ls. T.testLPThe Communicator\|The...Whatever Ganondorf da bess! 08:33, 25 December 2010 (EST) Kat and Ana are more interesting when it comes down to it. A pair of young ninja girls clad in colorful attire? Heck yes! Latias and Latios look like your average pokemon, and they just make those annoying wails that I can't stand! Clearly my vote goes to the girls.Mowrt620 (talk)Mowrt620 This vote is purely based on the pun in their names.--Shaun's Wiji Dodo talk 03:36, 28 December 2010 (EST) These girls are so cute and colorful, I must vote for them. Lili Rochefort 1965 (talk) 15:48, 30 December 2010 (EST) Half Votes In the Warioware series Kat and Ana's microgames are my favorite. Plus they have SWORDS!!!!!!! Katana!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.116.118.143 (talk • contribs) 20:30, 24 December 2010 (EST)		Votes for Latias & Latios Pokémon have to win. In addition, I always found these 2 more useful.Mega Tron1 XD 18:56, 24 December 2010 (EST) They are more accurate and powerful. Valsion 01:27, 25 December 2010 (EST) Not only are these guys more powerful than Kat and Ana, they also suck their opponents into their attack making it harder to dodge them. 110.174.90.69 20:24, 24 December 2010 (EST) Man, ^ stole my reason.-Ivy 73 20:31, 24 December 2010 (EST) Of course I pick them because their very powerful and fast. ..... (talk) 20:51, 24 December 2010 (EST) There's a reason why they call them "legendary Pokemon"! Brawlingbrian LANDMASTER! 21:48, 24 December 2010 (EST) Not a big WarioWare fan. Also, Hoenn Pokemon rock. havoC-- 23:33, 24 December 2010 (EST) kat n ana is easier to dodge!! 180.214.232.11 00:27, 25 December 2010 (EST) Pokemon just rocks. --UilMash (talk) 02:59, 25 December 2010 (EST) Come on Latias and Latios. On a side note, it is good to see another battle that I suggested. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 03:27, 25 December 2010 (EST) I don´t like Wario very much and Latias and Latios are way better. Zero (talk) 04:35, 25 December 2010 (EST) Their more accurate and their attack has a wind effect in it.Sonicsmasher777 (talk) 22:46, 25 December 2010 (EST) Dragons > ninjas Koopa1997 (talk) 08:26, 26 December 2010 (EST) Same reasons as everyone else 96.231.135.103 14:20, 26 December 2010 (EST) Who would win in a fight? 2 Dragons or @ kids? I think the 2 Dragons! Mesuxelf (talk) 12:51, 27 December 2010 (EST) I don't like the Wario series very much. Latias and Latios are harder to dodge. Silent Viper (talk) 14:18, 27 December 2010 (EST) The legendary Hoennese dragon twins rule!--Altaria (talk) 18:34, 28 December 2010 (EST) Latias and Latios because they are Legendary Pokemon and Kat and Anna are just little kids.~User:BigBlue321 Latias/os is better then the KatAna sisters! Lucasthefourth (talk) 20:03, 29 December 2010 (EST) When you factor in how common Lati@s is, they're arguably the most useful pokemon/assist trophy in Brawl. They're also imo, the most difficult pokemon to avoid damage from, and when I play with items, they KO me (and others) commonly. Plus, Lati@s are among my favorite gen. 3 pokemon. Omega Tyrant 04:44, 1 January 2011 (EST) Half Votes Pokemon! Latias and latios are WAY better then kat and ana, and I have Latias in my heartgold pokemon version...—Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.250.187.223 (talk • contribs) 11:01, December 24, 2010 Pokemon!!! Sorry, the only reason I'm voting this time is because I like Pokemon. Dr. PikaLinkSmash (talk) 06:55, 25 December 2010 (EST) lati@s are way better because of the vaccum and speed —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ktnt (talk contribs) 14:33, December 26, 2010
Comments Looks like another one-sided vote.Sonicsmasher777 (talk) 22:47, 25 December 2010 (EST) That's probably because Pokemon is much more popular than WarioWare. Just speculating. Brawlingbrian LANDMASTER! 08:52, 26 December 2010 (EST) This is a hard decision to me... I like the Latias Latios, but I like WarioWare more and I don't know much about Pokemons!
