SmashArena.png

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, or the stage considered more "fair", just vote if you are a total fanboy of the participant. So what are you waiting for? Get voting! Remember, you don't have to have an account to vote! 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. You may change or remove your vote at any time. To do this you must remove your old vote in its entirety; this is an exception to the "never remove comments" rule.
  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). Extra spacing results in the list numbers becoming disjointed.
  10. While previewing an edit of a single section, you will see loose formatting marks (such as a trailing |}). Do not alter or delete them; they are important to the page's construction and only take effect when the entire round is viewed.
  11. If there are multiple fights in a single round, try to make all your votes in a single edit.
  12. Any comments about the fight should be left in the comments section. The following kinds of comments are not allowed:
    • Comments relating to how close or one-sided a matchup is.
    • Comments about other users' opinions. You can point out that a user may have gotten a fact wrong, but you can't say things along the lines of "That's not a good reason" or "But the other guy is better because X". Users can vote for any reason they want; trying to argue with someone's opinion generally has no positive outcome, in addition to simply inflating the comments section of an already rather long page.

If your vote is not added correctly - specifically, it breaks rules 3, 4, or 5 - you have a short amount of time to fix it (typically between fifteen minutes to an hour). After this time, it may be corrected and 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.

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 114: Mites vs. Tabuu

Winner!!
undecided

0 to 0
These Subspace Army members are polar opposites in nearly every way - size, power, multiplicity, and so on - though both are dangerous in their own right. Which humanoid gets the prize?

Votes for Mites

  1. Sure, they're small, weak and easy to destroy, but think about it. They team up, rush towards you, and try in their best efforts to hurt you. And then die majestically in battle. You've got to give them a little break. Bowzerdude- Pure Epicness! (talk) 03:16, 26 November 2011 (EST)
  2. 2d ftw ㄴ(°n°ㄴ)Lucas-IV- Y U NOSZ   03:39, 26 November 2011 (EST)
  3. Tabuu is easier then a whole group of these. If the supposed "Weakest" minion is harder to beat then the actual leader, then...yeah. Captain Falcon (Falcon Edit!) File:CFalconHeadSSBB.png 04:37, 26 November 2011 (EST)
  4. I named a goldfish Tabuu. In big numbers, Mites are a hindrance, but Tabuu has ended a lot of Intense Boss Battles challenges, typically with Golden Chain or Off Waves. As Mites are stronger in big numbers, they're going to need more votes. Toast  ltimatum  05:44, 26 November 2011 (EST)
  5. Well obviously plenty of people are gonna vote for Tabuu because he's stronger, the final boss, etc. But I've never really liked him that well. Since this is a popularity contest, I'm voting for the Mites. 67.173.145.76 10:02, 26 November 2011 (EST)

Votes for Tabuu

  1. Tabuu is a being MORE POWERFUL THAN MASTER HAND. Mites are annoying mooks. Smasher49 (talk) 21:07, 25 November 2011 (EST)
  2. Mites can't even jump that high. They wouldn't be able to reach Tabuu if he stayed up high. But Tabuu can hit the Mites anywhere since he has projectile attacks. 110.174.90.69 21:10, 25 November 2011 (EST)

  9. Do I really need to explain my vote? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 03:33, 26 November 2011 (EST)
  10. I actually believe a LIGHT BLUE HUMAN is more popular than a bunch of weird color-like creatures. --107.5.88.135 06:43, 26 November 2011 (EST)
  11. It's not even a contest. Tabuu can take down nearly every smasher in one hit with his Off Waves, the Mites can't even do nearly as much damage. GormanLuigi (talk) 10:42, 26 November 2011 (EST)
  12. Let's thing what would happen if Mites battled Tabuu. Hard question. Oh yeah! Tabuu would just use his Off-Waves and kill all of them at once. Looks like that wasn't so hard a question after all! Mr. Anon talk 12:41, 26 November 2011 (EST)
  13. This is probably the most unfair competition we've done so far. I'm only voting for Tabuu because he's actually a difficult enemy. --FireEmblemFan275 12:55, 26 November 2011 (EST)

Comments

Hey, Toomai, while I personally quite like this fight, I must question why it was chosen to be used in the Smash Arena when it got a Support/Oppose ratio of 5/8 on the Suggestions page? Toast  ltimatum  08:48, 26 November 2011 (EST)

The Support/Oppose ratio is certainly important when determining whether a bout is selected, and admittedly this one probably has the lowest of any chosen fight in recent memory. But when it comes down to it, it's my decision in the end, and I felt this fight's inherently unbalanced nature could provide some interesting results compared to most other relatively-even rounds. Toomai Glittershine   The Bold 12:26, 26 November 2011 (EST)
I agree with Toomai; the army of many who are weak alone vs. the one who created them is a unique type of fight. I can't wait for the final score of this. ...Minna, miteite kure! MeleeMarth01  
yep, and lets see who is moar popular, not stronger ㄴ(°n°ㄴ)Lucas-IV- Y U NOSZ   23:10, 26 November 2011 (EST)

I think lots of people misunderstood 'popularity' and 'strength' ㄴ(°n°ㄴ)Lucas-IV- Y U NOSZ   11:45, 28 November 2011 (EST)

Round 113: Smash Ball vs. Dragoon

Winner!!
Smash Ball

27.5 to 11
These two super-powerful rainbow-coloured items can't ever both be onscreen at once, so it's up to this round to pit them against each other to see which one is the bigger deal.

Votes for Smash Ball

  1. Like these better. 204.191.129.218 23:09, 18 November 2011 (EST)
  2. Final Smashes rock! 98.242.123.228 02:53, 19 November 2011 (EST)
  3. Final Smashes are easier to hit with and are a lot more fun to use. 110.174.90.69 03:44, 19 November 2011 (EST)
  4. Urm... it gives you final smashes! You don't need to know anything else. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 04:00, 19 November 2011 (EST)
  5. Final Smashes!!! :) 68.174.11.29 09:07, 19 November 2011 (EST)
  6. Compare Dragoon with.... Critical Hit.... {--€Lucas-IV- Arrow trap   12:30, 19 November 2011 (EST)
  7. AURA STORM!!!!! TRIFORCE SLASH!!!!! GREAT AETHER!!!!! PK STARSTORM!!!!! Need I say more?174.30.223.223 18:56, 19 November 2011 (EST)
  8. Final Smashes are designed to grant the player an epic KO. Dragoons, on the other hand, are meant as an actual tactical item, created as a means to introduce a level of uncertainty. This means Dragoons are more useful but Final Smashes tend to be more fun to use. Tough one here. Honestly, I'd go with Smash Ball, because no matter what, when you get it and use it properly, you'll be satisfied. With the Dragoon, however, when you're on a team, it becomes really annoying when the dragoon pieces are split between you and your teammate. Mr. Anon talk 19:32, 19 November 2011 (EST)
  9. The Smash Ball is supposed to be the best item. Mastersword (talk) 21:27, 19 November 2011 (EST)
  10. This is really hard to decide since they can both KO well, but KIRBY MAKES EVERYTHING SOUP, SONIC SLAMS INTO PPL's FACES, LINK SLICES U TO PIECES, etc. Kopykirby26 (talk) 21:32, 19 November 2011 (EST)
  11. I'll admit it, I fail at using the dragoon, however the smash ball is better anyways.Yoshirocks341 (talk) 22:37, 19 November 2011 (EST)
  12. Final Smashes are a lot more interesting. Plus the Dragoon is highly annoying during matches: while the Smash Ball goes away on its own after bit if no one gets it, the Dragoon tries to steal the spotlight throughout the entire match.89.153.148.130 05:33, 20 November 2011 (EST)
  13. Meep. --174.59.4.202 13:41, 20 November 2011 (EST)
  14. Missing a Dragoon shot feels absolutely awful. And I'm quite liable to do so. Toast  ltimatum  08:08, 21 November 2011 (EST)
  15. The Smash Ball gives a lot more options and is easier to achieve. Even though the Dragoon Pieces are awesome, nothing can beat the Smash Ball --"'LightningBlue"' Blue Lighting Should Exist... (talk) 14:06, 22 November 2011 (EST)
  16. You're not guaranteed dead if a cpu opponent obtains it. And while Smashballs can certainly be disruptive, they're not as much as Dragoon pieces appearing are, as pointed out by IP 89. Plus, final smashes are more interesting and entertaining. Omega Tyrant   15:50, 22 November 2011 (EST)
  17. Turning Super Sonic to kick CPU and human ass? What more could you wish for! Heidi Hedgefox  16:41, 22 November 2011 (EST)

  20. Cherrim98 Talk 09:13, 23 November 2011 (EST)
  21. As cool as the Dragoon is, a Legendary Air Machine (which should have been the "Hydra", which fits the concept of "one-hit knockout/OHKO" better due to its sheer strength compared to the Dragoon's offensive stat) ramming into a fighter the same way each time is trumped by the epicness of the Triforce Slash, Great Aether, Zero Laser, Mario Finale, and a slew of other Final Smashes. Plus, the Smash Ball looks a little cooler. *Snake activates Final Smash at the same time as the Dragoon appears - ERROR* 131.193.13.53 18:09, 23 November 2011 (EST)
  22. epic and easier to obtain-kyle.b talk  (contributions) 13:13, 24 November 2011 (EST)
  23. It gives you a wider and better array of epic attacks, because ramming into someone over and over again is annoying. Where's the variety in that? Not to mention that pure feeling of satisfaction when you show your opponent you true colors, and lay down a beating filled with pure ownage! Bowzerdude- Pure Epicness! (talk) 13:25, 25 November 2011 (EST)
  24. Definately better than the Dragoon. GormanLuigi (talk) 13:55, 25 November 2011 (EST)

  26. I got to vote for the Smash Ball. Mainly, because the results are always different and unique depending on which fighter has it. From Critical Hits to Size Increase to Psychedelic Drug Fantasy, my vote is for the Smash Ball. Smasher49 (talk) 17:29, 25 November 2011 (EST)

  2. I generally play with neither as they are both uber broken, but in most cases, Smash Ball is less broken. AntiAntiGuy (talk) 17:05, 20 November 2011 (EST)

X Smash put their name before the #, which screws up the vote and results in it becoming a half vote. Omega Tyrant   14:52, 20 November 2011 (EST)
Actually, he originally put his comment below the line that said "Do not put comments before this line" and that was why we originally moved it to the half votes. Mr. Anon talk 15:03, 20 November 2011 (EST)
Thanks for explaining that, Omega and Anon. ...Minna, miteite kure!MeleeMarth01 (talk) 15:37, 20 November 2011 (EST))
