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 128: Motion-Sensor Bomb vs. Gooey Bomb

 
 Winner!!
undecided

0 to 0
 
They both stick to terrain and explode, but one is stronger and has a three-game history (not including its original existance in the good ol' days of Rareware), while the other is on a timer and will happily stick to people as they scramble around looking for a tag. Which proximity detonation device has the bigger upside?

Votes for Motion-Sensor Bomb

  1. Hard to see when placed. 204.191.132.187 23:55, 2 March 2012 (EST)
  2. The Gooey Bomb is just weird. 123JamesHeart   00:13, 3 March 2012 (EST)
  3. The Proximity Mine is better, no questions asked. And it works better, too. RickTommy (talk) 00:49, 3 March 2012 (EST)
  4. Motion Sensor Bomb seems to have far better knockback in my opinion. 110.174.90.69 01:34, 3 March 2012 (EST)
  5. Really? Comparing Kirby's nut with this? These things are badass. With the Gooey Bomb all you do is dodge all around randomly and you're safe, but with Motion Sensor Bombs, you don't even need its explosion to kill people, you can just throw the thing at them. Anthony1996 (talk) 04:55, 3 March 2012 (EST)
  6. Easier to go undetected. Accoolx (talk) 08:24, 3 March 2012 (EST)
  7. Ahh good old Goldeneye 007 days. ..... The Pikachu   11:31, 3 March 2012 (EST)
  8. The only bomb in Brawl you can't accidentally KABLAMMO by attacking it, and also CPU's don't understand the concept of jumping over the Motion-Sensor Bomb. Also, I don't get why a 14g lump of aliminium can have such knockback when thrown at someone else. Toast  ltimatum  12:40, 3 March 2012 (EST)
  9. Harder to see, and a trap for CPUs, even at the higher levels. MeleeMarth01  15:35, 3 March 2012 (EST)
  10. No competition. This is an epic item and though I only have Brawl it will not disapear as certain items do. (Bumpers, pokeballs, assistist trophies etc.)99.235.62.184 16:03, 3 March 2012 (EST)
  11. Throwing these at a wall is very deadly. Anyways these are difficult to detect if you lost track of them. Also has more power to them. One final thing, the Gooey Bomb can backfire if an opponent sticks in on you. LightningBlue: Need to Balance 17:14, 3 March 2012 (EST)
  12. These are one of my favorite bombs, because there sneaky and deadly. It's also an effective bomb (not as much as Bomb-omb though). --SSBfan1239 (talk) 18:17, 3 March 2012 (EST)
  13. YoshiEggs   18:55, 4 March 2012 (EST)
  14. SUCH a satisfying kill. --174.59.4.202 19:21, 4 March 2012 (EST)
  15. No one will ever see it. Including you. FUN!174.20.246.52 20:29, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Votes for Gooey Bomb

  1. Makes matches a heck of a lot more chaotic. ;) Takava (talk) 00:30, 3 March 2012 (EST)
  2. I kinda think its more fun to run around trying to re-stick it to someone or avoid that person yourself.184.7.168.34 07:50, 3 March 2012 (EST)
  3. More fun. Plus, it's easy to avoid a Motion-Sensor Bomb, but a Gooey Bomb? NO. Meta Ike   10:45, 3 March 2012 (EST)
  4. Hot potato...hot potato, hot potato... --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 17:02, 3 March 2012 (EST)
  5. I like them both, but Gooey Bomb has a Brawl In The Family comic. Ten, in fact. 68.174.11.24 17:20, 3 March 2012 (EST)
  6. Brawl in the Family FTW :) Besides, it becomes really funny when someone goes into panic mode when they find theres a sticky explosive thing attached to them Kopykirby26 (talk) 19:12, 3 March 2012 (EST)
  7. Way harder to avoid, you have to keep on moving, although, I kill my teammates too often with these...Yoshirocks341   09:24, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Half votes

  1. Gooey bombs make things a lot more hectic than the motion sensor bombs. It's fun sticking my enemy with a gooey bomb and running away frantically. -MILK!—Preceding unsigned comment added by MILK! (talk • contribs) 00:49, 4 March 2012

Comments

Being the 128th round, you'd think there'd be something special, something Melee-related - since the 64th round was all of the SSB64 characters, I was expecting this one to be all of the Melee characters. Could we perhaps do that next week, even if it is belated? RickTommy (talk) 00:49, 3 March 2012 (EST)

64th was due to it being for the Nintendo 64. Melee is not called Super Smash Bros. 128, is it? The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 05:07, 3 March 2012 (EST)

Even Round 64's 12 combatants was a serious stretch of the format (the page was hard to navigate through and a pain to format). Without a paradigm shift I don't intend to do a round any bigger than that. Toomai Glittershine   The SMASH-GINEER 09:30, 3 March 2012 (EST)

Besides, I don't think there is going to be a game named Super Smash Bros. 128 anyways. ..... The Dark Templar   11:37, 3 March 2012 (EST)
Certainly not all the Melee characters, but perhaps the five who didn't make it back for Brawl? Toast  ltimatum  12:36, 3 March 2012 (EST)
You try and format a five-combatant round without skinny columns or asymmetricality. Not worth the hassle in my opinion, at least not as of this time. Toomai Glittershine   The Awesome 12:48, 3 March 2012 (EST)

I think RickTommy is refering to the amount of bits in the GCN system (128). I don't know this for sure. LightningBlue: Need to Balance 17:15, 3 March 2012 (EST)

Quite a lot of BitF fans in here, huh? AccoolX File:Accoolx.png 13:49, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Round 127: Ike vs. Olimar

 
 Winner!!
Ike
 

16.5 to 14
 
One fights for his friends, the other fights with his friends. Which commander will emerge victorious?

Votes for Ike

  1. Sothe. Your argument is irrelevant. --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 00:08, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  2. Olimar: (watches as Pikmin spirits float away); Ike: "You'll get no sympathy from me. MeleeMarth01 Minna, miteite edit! 00:18, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  3. as much as I dislike Ike, the other is really pathetic without an army of pikmin.Drakon64   00:21, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  4. Though Pikmin 2 was one of the best games for the GCN, Ike is a main in Brawl. MegaTron1XD  00:47, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  5. Pikmin may be strong as an army, but they're not nearly durable enough to survive a sword slash. 110.174.90.69 09:12, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  6. WE LIKE IKE! YoshiEggs   09:45, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  7. I can control Ike better and me and my friend are always Ike in Brawl. GREAT AETHER!!!!!(Plus in the first cutscene with Olimar, the Pikimin are dancing on a gigantic ROB. Pathetic.)99.235.62.184 11:14, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  8. He risks his own life rather than risking others (in this game at least). 204.191.136.150 12:20, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  9. "Ike is my favorite character in ssbb. because he rocks especially when I uses he's final smash."Smash X 5432 (talk) 18:19, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  10. I have a love-hate relationship with him, I love playing as him for fun, but hate playing against him!Yoshirocks341   19:14, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  11. "I'm the only Playboy in this game!" LightningBlue: Need to Balance 20:49, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  12. Merely because Radiant Dawn is awesome. 68.174.13.184 21:26, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  13. Two words. Great Aether.174.20.246.52 10:46, 26 February 2012 (EST)
  14. 199.185.67.18 11:02, 27 February 2012 (EST)
  15. Quick Draw and Counter rock, which added to his power, makes him a lethal fighter. Meta Ike   20:53, 28 February 2012 (EST)
  16. All taunts, all victory poses (Japanese and English dialogue. 2 of which are excellently meme-worthy), all special attacks, the Great Aether Final Smash (meme-worthy in Japanese), the BFS Ragnell, his grunts/growls while attacking in the Japanese version of SSB Brawl (though English voice is good), and *FULLY-CHARGED FORWARD-SMASH*. A very awesome fighter who also wields TEH FIRE and bravely carries Roy's legacy onward (and hopefully, Ike and Roy will fight alongside each other and Marth in SSB4). Opposing arguments are clearly irrelevant. 72.3.33.16 15:00, 1 March 2012 (EST)

Half votes

  1. Ike is a much stronger fighter. He does more damage, has more knockback, is much more sturdy and less likely to get knocked off, thereby giving him more survivability and more lethality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.20.221.160 (talk • contribs) 04:03, 29 February 2012

Votes for Olimar

  1. Olimar is a better leader in my opinion. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 00:37, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  2. Olimar is my main. Specifically the Blue colouration, Similarimar. And out of each of these guys' merceneries, which are the real troopers? Toast  ltimatum  07:19, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  3. Pikmin 2 is my favorite game of all time. And I am no longer in the middle of a playthrough of Path of Radiance, so Olimar's got the vote. --174.59.4.202 10:25, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  4. Olimar has a great leadership with Pikmin and can probably defeat anything. And he is a HIGHER TIER. Ike is my least favorite character in Brawl and he's shows off too much just because he's popular. How good you are is determined by character like Olimar, not by showing off. ..... The Baneling   10:47, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  5. anyone that can enslave an entire alien race is awesome. Floor2000x (talk) 11:37, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  6. Brawl-wise, Ike wins. Game-wise, Olimar wins. -- Fan275 12:48, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  7. I play as "the plant guy" more often than I play as Ike, which is still very little. That, and I know more about his games. 123JamesHeart   20:24, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  8. This is for last time, Ike should not have beat Meta Knight.184.7.173.62 21:03, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  9. Haven't played Fire Emblem. Mr. Anon talk 22:33, 25 February 2012 (EST)
  10. I'm going to vote for Olimar, 'cause I have something against Ike...XD Hoverwind2 At your service dude!   00:17, 28 February 2012 (EST)
  11. Bought Pikmin 2 from a close friend for £5, BARGAIN! loved it ever since! Sonicsidekick95   05:05, 29 February 2012 (EST)
  12. I use Olimar more than Ike. n_n 67.173.145.76 01:16, 1 March 2012 (EST)
  13. i like olimar. 69.135.192.27 16:57, 1 March 2012 (EST)

Half votes

  1. I'd vote for Steve, but since I cant I guess I'll vote for his assistant, Olimar —Preceding unsigned comment added by Masklover64 (talk • contribs) 21:23, 29 February 2012‎ (EST)
  2. Well, since I'm slightly better with Olimar... Also, Olimar is Mario backwards :D Accoolx (talk) 19:19, 2 March 2012 (EST)

Comments

Well somebody has been watching too much Smash Taunts huh?Drakon64   00:23, 25 February 2012 (EST)

The joke originates from Brawl Taunts right? Mr. Anon talk 22:34, 25 February 2012 (EST)

I completely agree Smash X! His final smash is EPIC!!! Try it in slow motion and you'll see he kicks twice! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.235.62.184 (talk • contribs) 15:41, 26 February 2012 (EST)

Wait which comment are you refering to? LightningBlue: Need to Balance 13:51, 26 February 2012 (EST)
Smash X 5432's comment. Toast  ltimatum  14:24, 26 February 2012 (EST)

Heh-heh, Brawl Taunts reference? Nice choice of a poll/fight, although it would have been nice if Pokémon Trainer (Red) was included as well, since his friends fight for him as well (more-so, since Pokémon Trainer never actually receives damage himself during a fight, unlike Olimar who is subject to direct damage and has to physically be in the battlefield "fighting area"). 72.3.33.16 15:00, 1 March 2012 (EST)

Ike has fought Pokémon Trainer in a one-on-one fight before. Toast  ltimatum  15:05, 1 March 2012 (EST)

Brawl taunts "reference"? The actual words are: "Well, my friends fight...for me." LightningBlue: Need to Balance 19:13, 2 March 2012 (EST)

That is what Olimar said in brawl taunts because he commands and the Pikmin fights for him. ..... The Pikachu   19:57, 2 March 2012 (EST)

Hmm Brawl Taunts, didn't remember that they had done something like that. Toomai Glittershine   The Trumpeteer 23:54, 2 March 2012 (EST)
