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. It is also recommended that you do not post comments that are just pointing out/complaining how close/one sided a matchup is. These sort of comments are worthless, and do nothing but make an already large page larger.
  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.

Round 98: Mario Circuit vs. Port Town Aero Dive

Winner!!
undecided

0 to 0
Two race course-themed stages from Brawl, representing two different styles of racing, are now facing off. Will it be the static stage with slow Shy Guys, or the fast-moving F-Zero machines?

Votes for Mario Circuit

  1. Shy Guys can be kicked the hell outta the arena. Port Town? WE get kicked the hell outta the arena Kirbythe   Amazing Know my power! 08:40, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  2. Easier to fight on. BlindcoloursWho ARE YOU running from!?!? 10:44, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  3. Mario Kart is just another series of games I play. Those F-Zero racers can and will take players out in a heartbeat; Shy Guys, not so much. Dark Mai Valentine (talk) 11:40, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  4. 66.222.171.225 12:57, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  5. Shy Guys + Excitetruck music = WIN! --FireEmblemFan275 (talk) 16:03, 6 August 2011 (EDT)

Votes for Port Town Aero Dive

  1. CPU's have bad AI on this stage. XD--PSIWolf (TCE) 08:36, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  2. Why do you think I vote for this? Captain Falcon (Falcon Edit!) File:CFalconHeadSSBB.png 08:40, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  3. F-Zero racer hits a character. Character is Star KOd. Although I like Mario Circuit more, I can kick the opponent's rears more on this stage. FTW --107.5.57.137 09:03, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  4. Every time i vs C. Falcon in classic mode, the cars save my life Cherrim98 (talk) 09:09, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  5. More chaotic = More fun - Jacobdf11 Ganon ftw (talk) 10:16, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  6. Because it's also one of my favourite stages in F-Zero GX. Oh, and "Dream Chaser" is probably the best song in the game. ReiDemon 10:23, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  7. I like both stages but Port Town changes so brawls end up being more interesting. 110.174.90.69 11:00, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  8. Um, duh? DoctorPain99 {ROLLBACKER} 11:09, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  9. I like it because the scenery always changes, giving some variety, and because it has a lower blast line. But simply having anything to do with Captain Falcon is enough for me. 25T16      It's-a me! 11:28, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  10. Mario Circuit looks nicer, but I prefer any aerial stage to a grounded stage with only a few exceptions (Norfair & Temple). I like the Mario Circuit stage itself more, but I like playing in Port Town Aero Dive more. ToastUltimatum  Complaints Box 11:57, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  11. This stage, while much more dangerous, has no walkoffs, is more interesting and more fun to play on, and has some sort of competitive viability. Also, it has some of the best music in Brawl, compared to the mediocre music on Mario Circuit. Omega Tyrant   13:23, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  12. F-Zero X music. That's all you need to know.-Ivy73  13:29, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  13. umm... yeah. ..... The Google   + 14:28, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  14. While I do prefer Mario Kart games, Port Town Aero drive has this theme remnant of street racing games and its music is more fitting. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 15:03, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  15. I like all 6 Mario Kart games better then the actual Mario series. But unlike Mario Circuit, Port Town Aero Dive has a lower blast line and no walk-off blast lines and is generally more fun to play on. --81.158.119.48 15:17, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
  16. Yeah, Port Town's more fun. One my favorite stages. --174.59.4.202 17:47, 6 August 2011 (EDT)

Comments

And Port Down Aero Drive takes the early lead - Jacobdf11 Ganon ftw (talk) 10:17, 6 August 2011 (EDT)

Read rule #7, and do not make pointless comments like this. Omega Tyrant   12:14, 6 August 2011 (EDT)

This was a really close one for me. I like Mario Circuit, because Shy Guys + CPU's = Mayhem, but the lower blast line in Port Town helps me because meteor smashing is Mario's only reliable finisher at even around 120% Damage. 25T16      It's-a me! 11:32, 6 August 2011 (EDT)

Round 97: Falco (SSBM) vs. Falco (SSBB)

Winner!!
Falco (SSBB)

9 to 29
Out of the clones from Melee, Falco's had arguably the most changes for Brawl; yet he remains near the top of the tier list in both games. Which incarnation is more liked?

Votes for Falco (SSBM)

  1. While it's good too see Falco not being an entire copy of Fox, and while it is great to experience his sensitivity on bread, I like Falco better in Melee (mainly because I like all characters better in Melee) Smiddle 君怒る? 17:33, 29 July 2011 (EDT)
  2. I like both, but I vote for Falco's SSBM counterpart because his old Reflector is better, and he has better combos. Hawk 21 (talk) 17:35, 29 July 2011 (EDT)
  3. Reflector is better, better combos, though he is a clone, its' better for him to be a clone than for him to suck. DoctorPain99 {ROLLBACKER} 18:49, 29 July 2011 (EDT)
  4. I'm pretty sure that Melee is better than Brawl in every way competitively. But don't get me wrong, I like Brawl more.25T16   Talk to me! 20:05, 29 July 2011 (EDT)
  5. Meh. Do I need a reason? --174.59.4.202 09:43, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
  6. Brawl is more popular, but never better. Doomolish (talk) 21:00, 31 July 2011 (EDT)
  7. Reflector was alot more useful in Melee. --FireEmblemFan275 (talk) 02:55, 2 August 2011 (EDT)
  8. I prefer the Falco that looks more like he did in Star Fox 64. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 15:58, 2 August 2011 (EDT)
  9. Permanent reflector for the win. 173.81.235.230 13:59, 3 August 2011 (EDT)

Votes for Falco (SSBB)

  1. --66.222.171.225 17:31, 29 July 2011 (EDT)
  2. "Hands of my bread." That is enough to vote for Brawl Falco.BlindcoloursFile:EarthboundSymbol.pngYOUR WINNER 17:31, 29 July 2011 (EDT)
  3. Falco was just a clone in Melee, and that was the only reason he was high tier. Here, he is top tier in his own right. Besides, Melee sucks. Mr. Anon (talk) 17:37, 29 July 2011 (EDT)
  4. Hands of my prey! and better attacks. Plus Brawl is better than Melee.Cherrim98 (talk) 17:42, 29 July 2011 (EDT)--
  5. He looks funnier and slightly more higher tier, I think. ..... Battlecruiser operational.   Falcon Punch! 18:32, 29 July 2011 (EDT)
  6. If Melee Falco fell sany faster, he'd beat Stone Kirby to the ground. Flap your wings, birdbrain, breadhead etc ToastUltimatum  Complaints Box 18:39, 29 July 2011 (EDT)
  7. To me, this version feels easier to pick up and play than Melee. Dornob (talk) 19:30, 29 July 2011 (EDT)
  8. Easier to use than in Melee. Zeldasmash (talk) 20:04, 29 July 2011 (EDT)
  9. Falco isn't a complete clone of Fox in Brawl. 110.174.90.69 22:31, 29 July 2011 (EDT)
  10. I like Falco's appearance (as in his model) in Brawl better then in Melee.--81.158.119.48 02:31, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
  11. Falco Cw11cw 02:59, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
  12. hands off mah bread!>:D Lucas-IV-PK Love  04:51, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
  13. 3 words: SECOND. BRAWL. MAIN. And I don't play Melee.--PSIWolf (TCE) 06:11, 30
  14. Falco is so much better in Brawl than in Melee But I've played all the Smash Bros. games!EarthLucario29 (talk) 09:49, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
  15. ... ... "Hands Off Mah Prey! ... ... StoneSteal   01:17, 5 August 2011 (EDT)
  16. No clone in Brawl, duh. Captain Falcon (Falcon Edit!) File:CFalconHeadSSBB.png 11:57, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
  17. has much much better attacks and graphics
  18. Ugh. I have a hard time deciding, but in the end, I realize I only have Brawl. Plus, he has much more funnier quotes. --107.5.57.137 13:39, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
  19. "You're off your game, hun!" Dark Mai Valentine (talk) 14:16, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
  20. I never played Melee. so im voting for him thru brawl --SmashPics404 (talk) 20:41, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
  21. Because I like kittens Mesprit, Uxie, Azelf. Mesuxelf 08:40, 31 July 2011 (EDT)
  22. Bread and whatnot. HavocReaper 15:00, 31 July 2011 (EDT)
  23. I played Brawl, not Melee. 68.174.11.29 14:42, 1 August 2011 (EDT)

  26. Generic meme phrase ergo invoking that I like Falco (SSBB)-Ivy73  17:36, 1 August 2011 (EDT)
  27. Piece of cake. Squishyfrog Chat 13:54, 2 August 2011 (EDT)
  28. Simply because that high-tech gadget on his face reminds me of the Power Scouters from Dragon Ball Z. Rei'Demon 15:22, 3 August 2011 (EDT)

Now we just need a Marth (SSBM) VS Marth (SSBB). 66.222.171.225 17:38, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

Put up before, and failed before. --107.5.57.137 13:56, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

Why Falco? Why not Mario or Link? Cherrim98 (talk) 17:43, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

Exactly. We might as well have Mario vs. Mario vs. Mario if we have this fight. Worst fight seen on the SA. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:11, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

Wow. I really didn't think this would turn up. I refuse to vote in this fight, as I said in my Suggestions opposition. Fighting yourself, just stupid. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:00, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

This fight was chosen because it had high support from the community; I myself was rather nonplussed with it, but the voters wanted it, so here it is. Toomai Glittershine   The Different 18:15, 29 July 2011 (EDT)
This looks like a time paradox. I'm just saying. Is this comment trouble? ..... Battlecruiser operational.   Falcon Punch! 22:34, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

Its hands of my prey not bread.Cherrim98 (talk) 13:41, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

We know. It's a joke. BlindcoloursFile:EarthboundSymbol.pngYOUR WINNER 15:15, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

@174.59.4.202 Judging by the vote ratio, perhaps you do. ToastUltimatum  Complaints Box 16:30, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

Okay. In that case, my vote's a pity vote. --174.59.4.202 16:48, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
I don't think giving a reason is necessary, but it at least support the character you voted for...... Battlecruiser operational.   Falcon Punch! 16:53, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
In all honesty, I could care less who wins, it's the same person. I just wanted to participate. --174.59.4.202 20:31, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

I refuse to vote. This just doesn't make sense. I think it's supposed to be two DIFFERENT characters. It's still the same character, he just got played around with. Mastersword (talk) 19:01, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

@Mesuxelf: How did your like of kittens make you vote for SSBB's Falco? Not that I'm criticizing it or anything, just wanna know. --107.5.57.137 19:41, 31 July 2011 (EDT)

Kittens Cherrim98 (talk) 08:54, 1 August 2011 (EDT)

?:( I have 0 idea what you're trying to say. --107.5.57.137 11:29, 1 August 2011 (EDT)

@Rei'Demon I believe that would be a headset, for talking to Fox, Slippy, Peppy, ROB64 & Krystal with. ToastUltimatum  Complaints Box 16:00, 3 August 2011 (EDT)

Yeah, I know, but the fact that it also has a little window that comes out (as seen in Fox's introduction) makes the similarity all the more obvious to me. ReiDemon 16:39, 3 August 2011 (EDT)

Error, I voted for SSBB Falco because I liked his appearance better but my signature has somehow been moved down to the vote below it, leaving my vote without any signature and the one below it incorrectly signed under my IP, can someone fix this? --81.158.119.48 07:21, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
