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

  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. 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. 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. If there are multiple fights in a single round, try to make all your votes in a single edit.

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.

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.

Votes for Congo Jungle

  1. YES! ALL FOR DONKEY KONG!!!--Shaun's Wiji Dodo talk   12:25, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
  2. I played this stage and Corneria the most on the original Smash Bros. My vote goes for Congo Jungle. MtnDewholic 9000File:PokemonSymbol.png 13:51, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
  3. I prefer the older stages. Sure, Jungle Japes is good too but I think Congo Jungle is better. --81.158.119.48 13:58, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
  4. Jungle Japes' ceiling is way to high. Captain Falcon (Falcon Edit!) File:CFalconHeadSSBB.png 13:58, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
  5. I think I'll vote for Jungle Japes because I've played it long--*gets swept away by the Jungle Japes water* Screw that water, I'm voting for Congo Jungle. --KOd 107.5.57.137 14:03, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
  6. I've tend to like this stage but I pick it anyway.EarthLucario29 (talk) 14:17, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
  7. It's easier. Forbidden7  17:24, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
  8. You don't get KO'd easily. Tournament legal. ..... PSI within   17:27, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
  9. The water in Jungle Japes is pure annoying,and it also has less platform.99.111.204.97 17:44, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
  10. Once you fall in Jungle Japes' rushing rapids, all hopes of recovery is lost! Besides, I don't want my skirt to get wet. Heh! Dark Mai Valentine (talk) 17:58, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
  11. I find Jungle Japes to be too restrictive when fighting. There's hardly anywhere to fight properly. 110.174.90.69 22:05, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
  12. Jungle Japes is just annoying, but Congo Jungle has a nice platform, even if it does slope towards the middle. Mastersword (talk) 00:12, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
  13. Well, I have never played on this stage, but I strongly dislike Jungle Japes. Mesprit, Uxie, Azelf. Mesuxelf 15:26, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
  14. NOTHING is worse than Jungle Japes. 25T16   Help me work this site 18:14, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
  15. That's classic. – SmiddleT 19:14, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
  16. Nostalgic, and fun to play on. The water in Jungle Japes can be annoying. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 19:17, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
  17. I just hate the river at the bottom of Jungle Japes. CriticalHit60 (talk) 20:58, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
  18. I've played this stage to death in the original. I rarely go to Jungle Japes in Brawl - or is that because it's a Melee stage? 68.174.11.29 23:24, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
  19. This stage look more classical than Jungle Japes. Watermelon (talk) 01:42, 18 July 2011 (EDT)
  20. More space to destroy others but both have awsome DK music. 108.1.79.66 09:11, 18 July 2011 (EDT)
  21. If I had to choose one.. the classic sunset effect and other background sprites win me over. HavocReaper 16:29, 20 July 2011 (EDT)
  22. Jungle Japes, despite having arguably better music, is really, really not fun. Congo Jungle seems to have a better atmosphere, and is far more playable overall. Hawk 21 (talk) 22:59, 20 July 2011 (EDT)
  23. The first SSB game I played was the original, and I never played melee, so... I choose to stay with the original. The river in Jungle japes is also annoying. When I play Jungle japes in brawl, I try to think it's actually congo jungle... --85.64.224.247 12:01, 21 July 2011 (EDT)
  24. Barrel Cannon > River Anthony1996 (talk) 18:05, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

I find that a blast from the past is better than new age. Joker J

Votes for Jungle Japes

  1. I tend to fail a lot in this stage, but I love it anyway. I did my 99 minute match here, in fact. I'd say it's my 4th favorite stage overall in any SSB. I like Congo Jungle as well, though. ToastUltimatum  Complaints Box 13:15, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
  2. I play a lot more on this stage. In fact, I (almost) never play on Congo Jungle.--PSIWolf (TCE) 13:18, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
  3. DoctorPain99 {ROLLBACKER} 13:26, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
  4. I sing along with the DK Rap every time I play on this stage :>-Ivy73  15:07, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
  5. I hate it when people make miraculous recoveries because of the cannon. Mr. Anon (talk) 15:16, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
  6. It has a better remix of the Jungle Level music from DKC. --FireEmblemFan275 (talk) 23:36, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
  7. Easier to get swimming trophies StoneSteal   00:42, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
  8. I like the music in this stage better. --66.222.171.225 11:09, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
  9. Never played the other one Lucas-IV- Try to Talk   11:52, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
  10. I've unfortunately never played SSB64 nor managed to unlock the Past Stage of Congo Jungle in Melee, so I'll vote for the one I've played. Dr. 8-Bit (talk) 14:27, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
  11. I can usually get out of the rapids fine. I'm not a competetive player, so I don't really see the issue. --174.59.4.202 16:35, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
  12. I like this because of the music and the guy in the rocking chair. Floor2000x (talk) 20:50, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
  13. I think both are good stages, but I like this one just a bit more. 98.222.183.22 00:05, 18 July 2011 (EDT)
  14. Never played melee117.102.107.84 00:22, 18 July 2011 (EDT)
  15. Like the stage more. Nuff said. - Jacobdf11 Ganon ftw (talk) 14:36, 18 July 2011 (EDT)

Overusage of the word 'I' from me, much. ToastUltimatum  Complaints Box 13:17, 16 July 2011 (EDT)

@EarthLucario: Please make a new line, because your vote's in my vote right now. I'm not mad, just saying. --107.5.57.137 14:20, 16 July 2011 (EDT)

Never mind, PSIWolf (aka Wolf rulez!) got it for you. --107.5.57.137 15:03, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
Er... two things: Check this and it's not Wolf rulez! anymore.--PSIWolf (TCE) 15:05, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
Dude, I'm sorry. --107.5.57.137 16:31, 16 July 2011 (EDT)

Congo Jungle is going to win. Whos going to win a SA battle is always obvious after enough votes. Forbidden7  18:45, 16 July 2011 (EDT)

I wouldn't think you could predict who'd win, but OK. --107.5.57.137 19:32, 16 July 2011 (EDT)

@MtnDewholic - Corneria wasn't in the original SSB. You either mean Sector Z, or you're talking about Melee. --FireEmblemFan275 (talk) 23:34, 16 July 2011 (EDT)

@StoneSteal - You mean by wasting a stock on half a second of swimming before you are KO'd? Try Pirate Ship, dude. Seriously. 25T16   Help me work this site 18:19, 17 July 2011 (EDT)

@Floor2000x - The guy in the rocking chair is named Cranky Kong just so you know. --FireEmblemFan275 (talk) 22:20, 17 July 2011 (EDT)

Round 94: Mario vs. Snake

Winner!!
Mario

24 to 17
We've had Mario vs. Sonic and Sonic vs. Snake, so this completes the triangle. Which multitalented justice-dealer wins this bout?

Votes for Mario

  1. --66.222.171.225 23:17, 8 July 2011 (EDT)
  2. Mario doesn't smoke. Squishyfrog Chat 00:02, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
  3. I've just played a Super Smash Bros. Brawl COM only battle between Mario vs. Sonic vs. Snake (all level 9s,stock battle of 3) and Snake lost first and Mario was the last man standing.Go Mario!99.111.204.97 00:08, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
  4. Mario kicks Snake's hiney any 'ole day of the week. Heh! Dark Mai Valentine (talk) 01:44, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
  5. I have little experience with the Metal Gear series, so my vote goes to Mario, whom I grew up with. Hawk 21 (talk) 01:50, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
  6. Never played Metal Gear, and I believe my first games included a Mario one.--PSIWolf 03:42, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
  7. FLUDD and Cape are so satisfying to use successfully, while I'm bad with Snake, as I like to use down-smashes in battle. ToastUltimatum (talk) 06:57, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
  8. If it weren't for him, there'd be no Smash Bros. Snake is just an optional character Konami begged to put in. --107.5.57.137 07:10, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
  9. He is da bawwsLucas-IV- Think Before You Talk 07:21, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
  10. Snake is among my least favorite Smashers. He is really slow and hard to control, and his Final Smash is REALLY anoying! Mario is great (especially in SSB64) and his Final Smash is awesome. CriticalHit60 (talk) 08:20, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
  11. Mario is my second favorite nintendo character. ..... recalculating   11:14, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
  12. I main Mario, and I PWN my friend who uses Metaknight as his main. My cousing also wins local tourneys with Snake, and I can combo the heck out of him too. This new sixth tier list with Mario at the bottom? I think Olimar stole Mario's spot. And has anyone even SEEN Mario's cape? 25T16 (talk) 15:31, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
  13. Do I even need a reason? Mr. Anon (talk) 16:11, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

  15. Snake is in my high leagues in Brawl. Mario has been in my high leagues in all of the SSB games. Zeldasmash (talk) 18:14, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
  16. Voting for Mario because, well... he's Mario. And he's Luigi's brother. --174.59.4.202 21:39, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
  17. Been my main for all of my Smashing career. Plus, dat cape. Dornob (talk) 22:43, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
  18. I'm much better as Snake in Brawl but I prefer the Mario series more. 110.174.90.69 23:36, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
  19. I don't like either but Mario is much better than Snake. Sorry. Mastersword (talk) 03:25, 10 July 2011 (EDT)
  20. Long live Nintendo! --Dr. 8-Bit (talk) 11:07, 10 July 2011 (EDT)

Votes for Snake

  5. Here we have a badass dude equipped with grenades, guns, rocket launchers, grenade launchers, rocket grenade launchers, cigars and a kamikaze bandanna... against a fat plumber. No contest. --FireEmblemFan275 (talk) 03:38, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

  2. He has a normally sized head, unlike Mario, and has a good sense of humor. Also, he can blow things up in awesome ways.—Preceding unsigned comment added by MagicGallade (talkcontribs) 00:07, 12 July 2011 (EDT)

How come forbidden's vote is in the Snake's half votes section. ..... recalculating   11:16, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

I have NO idea, since it looks like a good and solid (lolpun) vote if you ask me.Captain Falcon (Falcon Edit!) File:CFalconHeadSSBB.png 12:04, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
The rules have been slightly rewritten so that users may place their vote in the Half Votes section.--PSIWolf (TCE) 12:07, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
Well,that is not the case. I never intended for my vote to be half. Forbidden7  12:11, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

Your vote was made a half-vote by Megatron1 because you didn't precede it with a #. Sorry, but you lose out this time. Toomai Glittershine   The Researcher 13:54, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

Smiddle's comment made the Snake votes section wider than the Mario votes section. --107.5.57.137 20:28, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

u mad? On a serious note, though, I really don't get why the line's not breaking. – SmiddleT 14:25, 10 July 2011 (EDT)
No, just stating the obvious pointing it out. --107.5.57.137 15:00, 10 July 2011 (EDT)

Will people please stop adding overly long comments? 69.228.194.203 20:57, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

Wow. I never would have guessed that Mario was so popular. CriticalHit60 (talk) 12:58, 10 July 2011 (EDT)

As of now, its highly likely that Mario is going to win at this rate unless someone convinces numerous people to vote for Snake. ..... PSI within   10:30, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
