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

  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.
  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. 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.
  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. 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 68: Fox vs. Falco

File:Fox.jpg
 Winner!!
undecided

0 to 0
File:Falco.jpg
I don't guess you should be thankful, but this round pits the two best pilots of the Star Fox team against each other. While Fox is the definite head of the group, Falco is in many ways the more popular of the two. Which of them wins their latest battle of hits and wits?

Votes for Fox

  1. Fox71.229.124.176 19:55, 7 January 2011 (EST)
  2. What a cruel decision! In the end I have to go with Fox for 4 reasons: He's an original, he's the main character, he was at the top in two Smash games (admittedly, so was Falco, but Fox was higher), and personally, I prefer the land! 68.174.12.142 21:08, 7 January 2011 (EST)
  3. Fox is one of my favourite and better characters. Plus Falco irritates me a lot in the Star Fox games when he gets angry at me when i save his life. 110.174.90.69 21:19, 7 January 2011 (EST)
  4. Better with, if only by a bit. HavocReaper 21:30, 7 January 2011 (EST)
  5. Fox, even though his name is very plainLordNock (talk) 22:29, 7 January 2011 (EST)
  6. Fox has been one of the more effective characters throughout the entire series. I do pretty well with Fox. He scores KO's at a great rate. Lili Rochefort 1965 (talk) 23:00, 7 January 2011 (EST)
  7. Fox's blaster is more easier to steal some KO. Lucasthefourth   ('.'-) 00:03, 8 January 2011 (EST)
  8. Fox actually has some combo potential, unlike Falco that relies on his chaingrab and blaster to combo someone. But hey, this is just my opinion. Zero (talk) 05:01, 8 January 2011 (EST)
  9. I always mained Fox in Super Smash Bros (excluding the first one). Fox has high speed and skill potential. I main both in both Melee and Brawl, but Fox always came up higher than Falco. Zeldasmash (talk) 11:15, 8 January 2011 (EST)
  10. Fox: You see oh that up smash,and now happy feet, wombo combo that ain't falco... Ryder (talk) 07:03, 9 January 2011 (EST)
  11. Fox is my fav. character his detail is amazing. and a few things that is better about him than falco reason 1 his 1 or b + \/ down can be stuck like that for hours unlike falcos which is like 1 second. and reason 2 he's cooler (YoshiKartWii (talk) 16:29, 10 January 2011 (EST))
Fox because he's cooler.Dragon of Chaos (talk) 01:09, 13 January 2011 (EST)

  1. I have played star fox 64 and falco was the first to lose, and in brawl, falco is one of my worst characters. Fox is better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.250.137.160 (talk • contribs) 2:05, 8 January 2011 (EST)

Votes for Falco

  1. I use Falco a lot. Fox, ehh. PKFire  MetaKnight
  2. My main is Falco, not Fox. Enough said. Brawlingbrian  LANDMASTER! 19:38, 7 January 2011 (EST)
  3. I main him, so why not vote for him.MegaTron1XD  19:51, 7 January 2011 (EST)
  4. Arg! Some site error prevented me from posting my long post as to why Falco is better than Fox, so I'll just say this:Falco is awsome. Mr. Anon (talk) 20:18, 7 January 2011 (EST)
  5. I always preferred Falco to Fox. I find him to be a more appealing character in Star Fox, and I enjoy playing him more in Smash Bros. Plus, I've always been better with Falco than Fox in Melee and Brawl. Omega Tyrant   21:22, 7 January 2011 (EST)
  6. I like Falco more than Fox because of the chain and lazer techniques in brawl, the fun and epic combos in Melee, in a way him in general, and the reason for Exterminators rage quits when we Brawl XD. Doc King (talk) 22:38, 7 January 2011 (EST)
  7. Although many Falco's enjoy chaingrabbing on the ground, personally, I prefer the air(eal attacks). Welikeikeandfoxes (talk) 22:55, 7 January 2011 (EST)
  8. I just prefer Falco more then Fox. --UilMash (talk) 02:42, 8 January 2011 (EST)
  9. What, no falco jokes yet? I prefer falco, though I use him worse then fox :P. Vincent Tran Blorbs?  02:50, 8 January 2011 (EST)
  10. This was a tough one, I was originally going to vote for Falco, then I switched to Fox, then back to Falco. I thought about Fox's tier rankings in 64 and Melee. But Falco is one of the characters I use in Brawl, so I choose Falco. --86.152.206.96 03:02, 8 January 2011 (EST)
  11. I hate them both about the same. However, with Fox, I kept self-destructing in All star mode which led to me hating him more. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 03:56, 8 January 2011 (EST)
  12. Sorry Fox, but since you beat Rayquaza, and Rayquaza won the last one, I have to vote for Falco. I think that this is a very stupid reason, but I love Falco.Mesuxelf   (talk) 06:53, 8 January 2011 (EST)
  13. I think Falco has better attacks and he is higher tier in Brawl.98.116.118.143 10:45, 8 January 2011 (EST)
  14. Falco may be a pilot, but I have to say that his tactics work better much of the time, like his blaster.198.166.216.82 11:50, 8 January 2011 (EST)
  15. Keeping bread germ-free since 2008. That's worth a vote. – SmiddleT 17:46, 8 January 2011 (EST)
  16. Sorry Fox but i main with you but I would like to go air and bread instead of plain ground. ..... (talk) 18:49, 8 January 2011 (EST)
  17. I main him. (Wow, for once I didn't use an internet meme in my vote for a famous internet meme character.)-Ivy73  19:02, 8 January 2011 (EST)
  18. I'm better with him.Sonicsmasher777 (talk) 21:36, 8 January 2011 (EST)
  19. I will have to agree towards falco for two reasons he looks cooler and somehow fights better. Not really sure how? JakeMeeble (talk) 14:55, 9 January 2011 (EST)
  20. HANDS OF MAH BREAD! Silent Viper (talk) 21:34, 9 January 2011 (EST)
  21. I was so happy when he was in meelee and he was my main. I was even angry in super smash for the nintendo 64 cause he wasnt there and wished for him to show up in the next game and he actually appeared!!! Zeegamer (talk) 09:01, 10 January 2011 (EST)

I just realized I have a Falco head in the sig for my vote for Falco. Funny. Brawlingbrian  LANDMASTER! 19:40, 7 January 2011 (EST)

Im probaly going to offend a lot of people right now, but... I personaly think that Falco is overrated. Not so much in Melee than in Brawl.LordNock (talk) 22:32, 7 January 2011 (EST)

Read rule #7, you do not use the comments section to post argumentative comments. Omega Tyrant   22:49, 7 January 2011 (EST)

Wow, both their moves is ultimately the same, only the name and their blaster that is different. Lucasthefourth   ('.'-) 00:11, 8 January 2011 (EST)

Similar =/= the same. Omega Tyrant   02:54, 8 January 2011 (EST)
But i guess one of the differences is that fox is easier to 'hear' since falco's 'Hands off my prey' become 'Hands of my bread'... witch is two different things....prey... bread... well except if falco's prey IS his bread...Lucasthefourth   tee4two 08:43, 11 January 2011 (EST)

Just wondering, Do we HAVE to leave a description for why we voted for him/her/it? Mesuxelf   (talk) 06:55, 8 January 2011 (EST)

No, a simple "I like X more" is sufficient. Omega Tyrant   08:15, 8 January 2011 (EST)

Yep. You voted right. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:14, 9 January 2011 (EST)
All that you have to do is put a #, then type in why you like him/her, then sign it by typing ~~~~. ..... (talk) 17:49, 10 January 2011 (EST)

Round 67: Ridley vs. Rayquaza

 
 Winner!!
Rayquaza
 

13 to 20
 
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

  1. 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)
  2. 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)
  3. I am sick and tired of Pokemon dominating everything in the Smash ArenaGig (talk) 16:46, 1 January 2011 (EST)
  4. 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)
  5. 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)
  6. I just enjoy destroying Ridley more than Rayquaza, that's why I vote for Ridley. Welikeikeandfoxes (talk) 15:54, 2 January 2011 (EST)
  7. 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)
  8. 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)
  9. 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)
  10. Ridley is better. 187.35.25.216 11:02, 5 January 2011 (EST)
  11. Ridley has been a thorn in Samus' side for every Metroid game, even though he has been killed in ever game, not to mention Ridley is smart and Rayquaza is just an animal.--JeKartaN1 (talk) 18:50, 5 January 2011 (EST)

  2. 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 This comment was moved back to half-votes after earlier having been moved to full votes from half-votes.

  4. ridley is an awesome boss in metroid and is drastically reduced in power in ssbb however u must remember that ridley is a almost impossible to beat boss from metroid(which my freind cant get past lvl 1) ridley should be the no.2 greatest boss in ssbb (next to tabuu)however weirdly he isnt —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.183.128.68 (talk • contribs) 07:13, 6 January 2011 (EST)

Votes for Rayquaza

  1. 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!  
  2. I just like Pokemon more.MegaTron1XD  10:18, 1 January 2011 (EST)
  3. 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)
  4. Pokemon FTW. Plain and simple.-Ivy73  10:30, 1 January 2011 (EST)
  5. 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)
  6. 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)
  7. Second fight I suggested in a row! Go Rayquaza! ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 10:46, 1 January 2011 (EST)
  8. Batteling Rayquaza was more interisting and thrilling. It's also a POKEMON a LEGENDARY one also.Zeegamer (talk) 13:56, 1 January 2011 (EST)

  11. Ridley i easier to defeat, anytime i fight Rayquaza, i always at least get damaged, heheh Lucasthefourth -.- (talk) 00:57, 2 January 2011 (EST)

  13. 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)

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. My vote goes to Ridley.198.166.216.82 13:28, 3 January 2011 (EST)

Read the rules, you do not post argumentative comments in the comments section. Omega Tyrant   19:32, 4 January 2011 (EST)
Uh, I'm just saying. How was that argumative? I was pointing out a fact.198.166.216.82 00:13, 5 January 2011 (EST)

I would just like to say that your vote not counting as a whole had nothing to do with you not being logged in, but because you forgot to sign the vote. – SmiddleT 09:31, 5 January 2011 (EST)
