Forums: Index → Smash Arena

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

When voting, you can give a brief comment on why you voted the way you did, or you can just leave your signature.
You can only vote once. Any multiple votes will be removed.
Put a # before your vote to facilitate the vote counting.
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.
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.
Put your vote below other votes; that is, so the votes are in chronological order.
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.
You may only vote in the current fight; all previous fights are closed.
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.
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.
If there are multiple fights in a single round, try to make all your votes in a single edit.
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 125: The Five-By-Five-By-Five Special

Mewtwo vs. Lucario

File:Ssbmmewtwo.jpg	Winner!! undecided 0 to 0		File:LucarioBrawl.jpg
It's been over three years since these two wound up in the Smash Arena's first tie. Will one come out on top this time around?
Votes for Mewtwo It's been 115 rounds, and I still regret him not being in Brawl. I put him on my SSB4 roster, and I think he should be alongside Lucario in Brawl right now. MeleeMarth01 (talk) 20:09, 10 February 2012 (EST) Mewtwo was the Pokémon to have, and you had to spend ages fighting it multiple times to finally capture it, having to restart the Game Boy so many times. Lucario comes out of an egg. How exciting. --- Rei Demon, Author Extraordinaire, 20:15, 10 February 2012 (EST) Third favorite pokemon and I agree with MeleeMarth01 and ReiDemon. ..... Bein' Friends 20:22, 10 February 2012 (EST) Wish they would of put him in brawl...Yoshirocks 341 21:13, 10 February 2012 (EST) Mewtwo is one of my favorites. First, his down special in Melee is really useful. Second, he is a genetically recreation of Mew, an awesome pokemon. Finally, his fame actually came when he was replaced by Lucario (I get it you all want him in SSB4). LightningBlue: Electric! 23:19, 10 February 2012 (EST) SSBM secondary. Mr. Anon talk 23:24, 10 February 2012 (EST) Good Lord is Frieza a Pokèmon?!?! Then Lucario is Goku.....lay him out Space Lizard :3Drakon6 4 \|		Votes for Lucario Never got a chance to ever be Mewtwo and still I like Mew better so I think I like Lucario more even though Mewtwo will get more votes. o_0--YoshiEggs 19:31, 10 February 2012 (EST)

Battleship Halberd vs. Great Fox

	Winner!! undecided 0 to 0
A pair of motherships - one housing a team of pilots, the other a secluded loner and his army. Which wins the heavy-hitting dogfight?
Votes for Battleship Halberd I've always loved the kirby series. The Halberd was a main icon of the game Kirby Super Star. LightningBlue: Electric! 19:34, 10 February 2012 (EST) Ok I Vote Halberd!--YoshiEggs 19:37, 10 February 2012 (EST) A counterpick stage, and a place where one of the funniest fights I've ever played happened. Check out the comments. MeleeMarth01 (talk) 20:09, 10 February 2012 (EST) Dat music, man... --- Rei Demon, Author Extraordinaire, 20:15, 10 February 2012 (EST) I like the music and the Halberd could really do good if it was a unit in StarCraft ll. XD ..... Bein' Friends 20:22, 10 February 2012 (EST) It's a little more eventful here then there.Yoshirocks 341 21:14, 10 February 2012 (EST) A ship used for both good and evil; an undefeatable vessel that must always be destroyed; a home to the greatest warrior in the galaxy whose true identity remains unknown. Mr. Anon talk 23:26, 10 February 2012 (EST)		Votes for Great Fox You can't beat me! I've got a better ship! -- Pigma Dengar Toast ltimatum 20:12, 10 February 2012 (EST)
Comments Uh, why can't I vote for Great Fox? BlindCol ours 19:49, 10 February 2012 (EST) Someone added an extra "!" to a "don't edit anything below here" line. Toomai Glittershine The Pan-Galactic 19:59, 10 February 2012 (EST) My fight (see vote #3) happened like this: A Level 1 blue Zelda was against me, a Fox. At the start of the fight, I used Illusion off the side of the stage, thinking that I'd spawn on the other side. About ten seconds later, I won; I knocked Zelda off the side of the main platform a second before it went up into the air. Good times... MeleeMarth01 (talk) 20:09, 10 February 2012 (EST)

Mushroomy Kingdom vs. Green Hill Zone

	Winner!! undecided 0 to 0
The starting stomping grounds of two early rivals. Which has more staying power?
Votes for Mushroomy Kingdom First vote again. GO MUSHROOOMY KINGDOM p.s. I DON'T LIKE SONIC!!! --YoshiEggs 19:24, 10 February 2012 (EST) Although I hate 1-2, 1-1 is enough for me to vote for this scrolling stage. MeleeMarth01 (talk) 20:09, 10 February 2012 (EST) Classic. ..... Bein' Friends 20:22, 10 February 2012 (EST) I kick ass as Luigi here. That gives this stage an advantage. Anyways, it has the most epic music (like Underground Theme from Super Mario Land). LightningBlue: Electric! 23:21, 10 February 2012 (EST)		Votes for Green Hill Zone I played the 2D Sonic games long before I played Super Mario Bros. Also, that music is awesome. Also, 1-2 Mushroomy Kingdom remains my pick for absolute worst Smash Bros. stage ever. --- Rei Demon, Author Extraordinaire, 20:15, 10 February 2012 (EST) I've had too much fun with the checkpoint thingy not to vote for this.Yoshirocks 341 21:15, 10 February 2012 (EST) Mushroomy Kingdom is a fun stage with good music, but nothing can trump the amazing soundtrack of Green Hill Zone (at least nothing that Mushroomy Kingdom has).

Final Destination (SSB) vs. Final Destination (SSBM) vs. Final Destination (SSBB)

		File:FDB1.jpg
Winner!! undecided 0 to 0 to 0
The three aptly-named ending stages of Classic Mode, with similar designs but different specifics. Which flat landmass commands the most respect?
Votes for Final Destination (SSB)	Votes for Final Destination (SSBM) In the end, it's the nostalgia factor. Meeting Master Hand for the first time is one of those moments where shit got real for the eight year old me. --- Rei Demon, Author Extraordinaire, 20:15, 10 February 2012 (EST) Melee's Final Destination just looks cool, almost as if it's some interstellar landing platform. See comments for analysis of each game's final stage. Mr. Anon talk 23:29, 10 February 2012 (EST)	Votes for Final Destination (SSBB) This is definitely the most well done. Plus, it is the only starter stage of the three. LightningBlue: Electric! 19:29, 10 February 2012 (EST) Final Destination,Final Destination,Final Destination. Three in a row. Don't vote SSB Final Destination, don't vote SSBM Final Destination, Vote SSBB!--YoshiEggs 19:48, 10 February 2012 (EST) I almost voted for 64's because it was the original one, but it's a bit too small for me, and Melee's is a bit too large. SSBB Final Destination is my kind of stage, especially because I main Fox and can get across the stage fast, as well as spamming Blaster. MeleeMarth01 (talk) 20:09, 10 February 2012 (EST) The stage seems epic. ..... Bein' Friends 20:22, 10 February 2012 (EST) I've had bad memories with the melee version and never played on the original.Yoshirocks 341 21:18, 10 February 2012 (EST) This stage is one of my favorites. Because that were master hand fight in classic mode.
Comments SSB64's Final Destination fits with a mind of Mayan theme, being less "sci-fi" in appearance and looking more like some ancient technology being brought back. This is similar to the Bryonian war mechs in Metroid Prime 3. Melee's final destination, as I described in my vote, is the most "sci-fi" appearance, with it's strange markings that speak out to the idea of an alien landing platform. On the other hand, Brawl seems to have a mix of the two, and it's difficult to tell whether Brawl's FD is made out of rock or metal. Brawl's FD appears to float using a crystal placed underneath, similar to its Battlefield, indicating a kind of ancient technology similar to SSB64. This is furthered by the fact that Brawl features a race of beings living in another floating island who are actually called "ancients". How does Master Hand tie into this? In SSB64, where Master Hand is a child, Final Destination seems to most alien of all stages. All other stages appear to just be sets that are constructed by him, as seen by the intro. FD is outright in space, however. The seemingly ancient appearance of the platform is also puzzling, as Master Hand lives in a modern world. In Melee, Master Hand's apparent powers have been greatly expanded, as he has now created an entire world. Nonetheless, FD still has an air of mystery surrounding it. If it is a landing platform, who is it for? Master Hand and Crazy Hand certainly don't need one. Brawl's FD is then the only one whose origin is accounted for, as it appears to be built by the Ancients. Master Hand therefore does not need to justify his use of it as a battle stage. So there you have it. Just some observations I've made about each Final Destination and its role in its game. Mr. Anon talk 23:46, 10 February 2012 (EST)

Red Team vs. Blue Team vs. Green Team


Winner!! undecided 0 to 0 to 0
The colour of crimson, the pigment of periwinkle, and the value of viridian come together for this polychromatic clash. Will there be a vermillion victory, a cobalt conquest, or an emerald enactment?
Votes for Red Team Go red Team they are going to winSmash X 5432 (talk) 21:33, 10 February 2012 (EST)	Votes for Blue Team I like the color schemes for most characters. LightningBlue: Electric! 19:27, 10 February 2012 (EST) Blue gets Blucas, Bluigi and Blucario. As King Dedede doesn't have a Rededede palette swap, I give this vote to the blue team. Toast ltimatum 19:46, 10 February 2012 (EST) Overall, the blue palette swaps are my favorite alternates (i.e. Lucas, Luigi, Samus, Wolf, Ike, C. Falcon, Diddy Kong, Dedede, Kirby, Link, Toon Link, G&W, Pit, Ness, et cetera).

Round 124: Bucculus vs. ReDead

	Winner!! ReDead 8 to 26.5
One classic and one newfound, these two enemies like their prey fresher than fresh and easy develop attachments to people. Will the bisectioned bouncer or ominous reanimation survive?
Votes for Bucculus Yay, first vote! Seriously, though, pity vote. 68.174.11.29 09:08, 4 February 2012 (EST) believe it or not, this thing actually heals me :o Lucas-IV- CREEP 10:15, 4 February 2012 (EST) Pity Vote 204.191.129.218 12:34, 4 February 2012 (EST) Epicly pity Sederts (talk) 18:46, 4 February 2012 (EST) Let's see...

Seriously, these enemies are dumb. Who designed those abominations, anyway? Hawk 21 File:FZeroSymbol.png Talk 01:54, 4 February 2012 (EST) Wow, Bucculus looks scarier than a ReDead. 123 James Heart 02:55, 4 February 2012 (EST) ReDeads are WAY more formidible than Bucculus. 110.174.90.69 03:54, 4 February 2012 (EST) I find ReDeads rather relatable to the typical teenager. They sleep all day, walk with a droop, speak through a series of groans and grunts, latch onto anything they deem attractive, and... Yeah. Toast ltimatum ^ Gee, thanks. --174.59.4.202 09:58, 4 February 2012 (EST) ITS A FREAKIN ZOMBIE!!!!!!!Drakon6 4 10:50, 4 February 2012 (EST) The ReDeads are very easy to get by. But the Bucculus are very annoying. .....

Seriously, you have to jump and use a down aerial to kill a Bucculus, and even that only works some of the time. Takava (talk) 23:50, 4 February 2012 (EST) Which is the worser of the two evils? The Bucculus (it seems everyone hates those guys). In Ocarina of Time, Redeads were even easier to defeat. Just use the Sun Song. LightningBlue: Electric! 02:39, 5 February 2012 (EST) I like zombies. THE AVENGING BANDIT 22:56, 5 February 2012 (EST) ReDead's a zombie. Bucculus is a plant. Logistically? No contest. 92.28.200.13 02:57, 6 February 2012 (EST) Bucculus doesnt do much other than slow u down. more of an annoyance than an enemy.184.7.168.4 07:40, 6 February 2012 (EST) The redead can kill people that dosnt know what to do but the Buccalus cant kill a thing like even a noob can escape it(by accident)--Arcwarioman (talk) 16:54, 6 February 2012 (EST) Urm... they don't try to kiss you to death! Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 18:02, 6 February 2012 (EST) More fun to kill. Even though they're already dead, so, um, more like cut into tiny bits.174.20.247.93 19:19, 6 February 2012 (EST) It still gives me nightmares, but they're way easier to kill by a longshot (see what i did there? +5000 internets to whoever gets the joke)--76.97.139.164 21:08, 6 February 2012 (EST) One of my favorite Zelda enemies. I don't really care for Bucculus. Omega Tyrant 22:16, 6 February 2012 (EST) ReDeads have a cool, somewhat-atypical prefix in their name (as opposed to undead), come from the Legend of Zelda series, and aren't as freaking annoying as the kiss-of-death Bucculus/Bucculi/whatever, who remind me of a mushroom enemy from the game Rocket: Robot On Wheels that does a similar thing, although it just latches onto you without actually draining energy. And dispatching oneself of Bucculus is almost a nightmare in itself, as you can't just walk up to it and attack. GOSHDARN BUCCULUS, indeed. 72.3.33.7 20:16, 8 February 2012 (EST) The guys above got the idea. --Havoc 48 >:D!!! 21:04, 9 February 2012 (EST) Fond memories of Oot.Vincent Tran svestite O_o 18:38, 10 February 2012 (EST) Half Votes I hate the other one sooo...

LightningBlue: Electric! 02:43, 5 February 2012 (EST) Another great choice. These two are very annoying enemies in the Smash Bros. Series (both from separate games).

LightningBlue: Electric! 21:39, 6 February 2012 (EST) James don't mislead people by changing the name of the article link. SmashWiki is not censored. LightningBlue: Electric! 21:39, 6 February 2012 (EST) I fail to see how it is misleading; it brings the viewer to the appropriate area with no problems. --- Rei Demon, Author Extraordinaire, 22:07, 6 February 2012 (EST) Ok ok. Fine. LightningBlue: Electric! 13:30, 7 February 2012 (EST) Admittedly, I thought that Re-Dead Vote #8 was quite the amusing comparison. Surprisingly, I'm just now learning about the possibility of Bucculus sometimes dropping HP-restoring food, although that's probably because I don't let Bucculus stick around long enough for its poison sac to fill anyway, due to Bucculus being the embodiment of sheer annoyance. Also, the number of Google Search hits for the term "Bucculus" are a bit surprising...but it looks like that's due to there possibly being another meaning for "bucculus"... 72.3.33.7 20:16, 8 February 2012 (EST) Um, do any of us think this should be over by now?--Arcwarioman (talk) 10:11, 9 February 2012 (EST) Smash Arena fights last about a week and are updated each Friday or early Saturday (in my time zone; Eastern Time in the United States). 123 James Heart 11:14, 9 February 2012 (EST) @Vote 20 on Re-Dead: Um, they don't kiss you, but they look like they're trying to mouth-rape anything they see.Drakon6 4 17:55, 9 February 2012 (EST) Drakon they are just grabbing you.
