Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome, editors and users, to the Smash Arena! Each week this forum hosts a tussle between two characters, items, stages or anything else 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. However, you are not to 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 are also not to post comments that are just pointing out/complaining how close/one sided a matchup is. These sorts 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.

  2. Bowsacide.-Ivy73  19:37, 30 September 2011 (EDT)
  3. DK always felt like he had no creativity put into him whatsoever. Sure, Bowser's a big turtle, but he breathes fire, he's a turtle that leads an army, and his attitude in Paper Mario 2 is just plain hilarious. DK's an ape and, well... yeah. --174.59.4.202 20:25, 30 September 2011 (EDT)
  4. Bowser have loyal underlings that he cares about... sometimes... but Bowser is much moar aweshomez anyway -[-=-]-Lucas-IV- An Enderman! Sh-SMACK!   22:33, 30 September 2011 (EDT)

  8. ok ok ok kids, this is on "smash wiki" right?? so this is about SSB. yes, in most other games dk's better, but in smash bros, bowser pwns!! he's a little slow, so he doesnt do well on 4-player battles, but one-on-one?? its really no question here, bowser's just too superpowerful to be stood up by dk's relative speed. 71.51.157.196 19:44, 2 October 2011 (EDT)BK

ROFL, Toast, the second part of your username is effectively invisible now. ReiDemon 19:01, 30 September 2011 (EDT)

Could you imagine a column the same color as the 'IP Blue'? Many legitimate votes would be classed as half for 'not signing'. ToastUltimatum  Complaints Box 19:07, 30 September 2011 (EDT)
The date will still be fully visible, and going to edit would clearly show an IP signature. Omega Tyrant   19:11, 30 September 2011 (EDT)
Now Squishyfrog's gone all camo. ToastUltimatum  Complaints Box 10:33, 1 October 2011 (EDT)

Yay! My fight is up. As usual, I will not vote this round. Mr. Anon talk 19:47, 30 September 2011 (EDT)

Again: why? --107.5.57.137 06:46, 1 October 2011 (EDT)
Just because often I cannot decide between the two, as for me to have suggested them in the first place, I have already thought of them as equals. Mr. Anon talk 19:46, 2 October 2011 (EDT)

Round 105: Master Hand glitch vs. Black hole glitch

Winner!!
Master Hand glitch

21.5 to 11
Two of Melee's most infamous glitches, one relatively new and fascinating, the other notorious for years and more taxing on the system. Will the bug of infinite recursion or the apparently acceptable lack of input validation come out on top?

Votes for Master Hand glitch

  1. You need four people to do the Black Hole glitch. Mr. Anon (talk) 21:18, 23 September 2011 (EDT)
  2. I think it was everyone's wish that they wanted to play as Master Hand at one point while playing Melee. Also, I love the idea of a glitch taking almost seven years to be found. ReiDemon 21:26, 23 September 2011 (EDT)
  3. Never was able to pull off the black hole glitch. I don't know if its hard or I'm just stupid, but I've heard black hole can screw up your game anyway. So yeah, Master Hand FTW. --174.59.4.202 21:58, 23 September 2011 (EDT)
  4. What Black Hole Glitch? 68.174.11.29 22:56, 23 September 2011 (EDT)
  5. Best glitch ever. Blindcolours TONDA GOSSA. 22:57, 23 September 2011 (EDT)
  6. I wrote much of the MHG article. DokteurPain99 23:04, 23 September 2011 (EDT)
  7. This glitch is so awesome it took seven years to find. It was worth the wait. Squishyfrog Chat 23:09, 23 September 2011 (EDT)
  8. ..... The secret number   well? 00:03, 24 September 2011 (EDT)
  9. With this glitch, you'll be able to control one of the best bosses of all time. What can you do with the Black Hole Glitch? Die. Captain Falcon (Falcon Edit!) File:CFalconHeadSSBB.png 03:29, 24 September 2011 (EDT)
  10. It's a simple decision for me, the Master Hand glitch lets you play as the Master Hand without the use of any cheat codes or devices. --81.135.59.245 04:52, 24 September 2011 (EDT)
  11. Argh, another stinking half-vote loss for Luigi! :'( It drives me crazy! Anyways, it sounds cool to play as Master Hand. --107.5.57.137 07:49, 24 September 2011 (EDT)
  12. I always wanted to play as master hand and it only requires one controller;while the black hole glitch doesn't sound very amusing and it's more on the cheating side than master hand(it can still be beat through stamina mode in multiplayer)and it's more difficult to preform enspecially from requiring more than one controller with the usual four.99.111.204.97 10:57, 24 September 2011 (EDT)
  13. Let's see, playing as an undefeatable character whose been stated to only toy with the Smash World characters, or a black hole. Jeeze, this is actually a tough one. My vote goes for the hand. 25T16File:HitboxEffect(Flame).pngIt’s a me! 11:58, 24 September 2011 (EDT)
  14. ATTENTION FUTURE VOTERS FOR LUIGI: SIGN ALL COMMENTS AND PUT NUMBER SIGNS BEFORE THEM SO LUIGI WILL NEVER LOSE BY A HALF VOTE EVER AGAIN!!! p.s. the only thing that the black hole cant kill is master hand. self-explanatory.Pokémonultimate (talk) 16:15, 24 September 2011 (EDT)
  15. Yay. 67.173.145.76 14:44, 25 September 2011 (EDT)
  16. Master Hand could probably flick away a blackhole. Mastersword (talk) 19:19, 25 September 2011 (EDT)
  17. I use this glitch when there's nothing better to do. Link won the last popularity vote narrowly, so translation: pick on Link some more...with Master Hand! Wah hah hah hah! 98.242.123.228 10:01, 28 September 2011 (EDT)
  18. Black holes are dumb. 7:48, 28 September 2011 (EDT)Super Luigi Bros. (talk) 19:50, 28 September 2011 (EDT)
  19. Go Master Hand!!!!!!!--Thejfh1999 (talk) 17:56, 29 September 2011 (EDT)
  20. They're both very trippy, hilarious glitches to pull off, but I vote Master Hand because he can be controlled. Hawk 21 (talk) 18:55, 29 September 2011 (EDT)
  21. Let's see, we have being a hand that toys with the smashers and tests them in combat, and in brawl is MASTER OF AN ENTIRE FRICKIN' WORLD, versus the swirly thing. No contest.184.97.232.150 19:49, 29 September 2011 (EDT)

  1. smash x 5432 master hand is the best glitch in melee :) because he's so big that I can kill all my foes 26 September 2011 —Preceding unsigned comment added by smash x 5432 (talkcontribs) at 20:21, 26 September 2011 (EDT)

Votes for Black hole glitch

  1. Beware! 66.222.173.139 21:48, 23 September 2011 (EDT)
  2. While playing as Master Hand is pretty cool the Black hole glitch looks epic as. 110.174.90.69 22:23, 23 September 2011 (EDT)
  3. What else in Smash Bros. can rack up over 999% of damage in a second? Omega Tyrant   23:17, 23 September 2011 (EDT)
  4. Aesthetic Amazement. The supernova in particular is a sight to behold, and I like the idea of collective projectiles. Nice projectile collection you got there, player, but needs more Megavitamin. >Throws Megavitamin< My collection has grown! >Snorlax ruins collection< DAMMIT ToastUltimatum  Complaints Box 05:22, 24 September 2011 (EDT)
  5. Poor Luigi... Anyway, CREEPED! -(C•.•)-Lucas-IV- A Creeper! Sh-BOOM  08:29, 24 September 2011 (EDT)
  6. It's over 999! --HavocReaper48 11:00, 24 September 2011 (EDT)
  7. It's more excitingFloor2000x (talk) 13:05, 24 September 2011 (EDT)
  8. It's unique in all the different ways you can make a black hole. Mr G&W's sausages, Ness' PK Fire, Peach's turnips, etc. But don't overdo it, otherwise your Gamecube will spontaneously combust and explode into pieces. --FireEmblemFan275 (talk) 14:09, 24 September 2011 (EDT)
  9. The GCN just can't handle this glitch's pure awesomeness.-Ivy73  16:34, 24 September 2011 (EDT)
  10. Not really the glitch person, but the black hole glitch looks cooler. Master Hand is too easy in classic and boss battles98.116.4.145 16:12, 25 September 2011 (EDT)
  11. I do not have melee but looks cool. I like both, but i chose this for some weird feeling. Cherrim98 Talk 20:34, 25 September 2011 (EDT)

Comments

Anon: That's false; there's a method that allows the Black Hole Glitch to occur through the use of two players, as can be seen on the respective page. That's actually the method I initially did until I found my third controller. ReiDemon 21:28, 23 September 2011 (EDT)

lol, my last round vote lost by a half point again. ..... The secret number   well? 00:05, 24 September 2011 (EDT)

Please stop stating the obvious. Blindcolours TONDA GOSSA. 00:08, 24 September 2011 (EDT)

DP99, it's such a surprise seeing you vote for the Master Hand glitch. I never knew you cared anything for it. [/Sarcasm] Mr. Anon (talk) 00:22, 24 September 2011 (EDT)

Shame the image representing The Black Hole Glitch doesn't show it off that well. Is anyone able to upload an image of the Supernova? ToastUltimatum  Complaints Box 05:27, 24 September 2011 (EDT)

I've uploaded one myself now, I'm just waiting for Toomai's permission to add it. ToastUltimatum  Complaints Box 08:34, 24 September 2011 (EDT)

Wow, this is actually kind of cool, two glitches against one another. 25T16File:HitboxEffect(Flame).pngIt’s a me! 12:00, 24 September 2011 (EDT)
