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", or the combatant with the most fans - 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 143: Ridley vs. Meta Ridley

 
 Winner!!
undecided

0 to 0
 
Two incarnations of that one tenacious lifeform that Samus really doesn't like that much. Will the original deal or metallic reconstruction win out?

Votes for Ridley

  1. Original is the best to me. 117.254.216.172 00:58, 23 June 2012 (EDT) FIRST VOTE!
  2. ...Because... He's purple. Although, Ridley in its regular form does make a nice easy break when you're going through Boss Battles on Intense difficulty. Meta Ridley isn't hard either, but he's taken me out a few times. Toast  ltimatum  14:22, 23 June 2012 (EDT)

  2. Wow... this fight really went ahead? I'm appalled. Well, might as well vote anyway. I vote for Meta Ridley because, well... get this! It is the same as normal Ridley, but a lot stronger! Solar Dragon (Talk • Contribs.) 04:36, 23 June 2012 (EDT)

Round 142: Delfino Plaza vs. Port Town Aero Dive

 
 Winner!!
Delfino Plaza
 

22.5 to 11
 
Brawl's two "depository" stages are at it. One travels in random patterns around an island paradise, the other lands at specific spots around a grated racetrack. Which will land in the winner's circle?

Votes for Delfino Plaza

  1. I'm in the mood for some nice sunny weather right now. 66.222.172.137 23:59, 15 June 2012 (EDT)
  2. This stage brings back so many memories from Super Mario Sunshine. Shanderu (talk) 00:13, 16 June 2012 (EDT)
  3. PTAD sucks--Bandit 02:02, 16 June 2012 (EDT)
  4. Who doesn't like sunny weather? Stranger 1260   03:22, 16 June 2012 (EDT)
  5. Ya know what I don't like? Fake tan. Orange is a horrible color, and why you'd want to be orange is beyond me. But if you must, get yourself down to Isle Delfino and slap some real color on your face. Nintendo did a brilliant job of creating a holiday destination, and is one I would genuinely like to visit. Toast  ltimatum  08:32, 16 June 2012 (EDT)
  6. I like Mario more than F-Zero. Plus, when ever I do Training Mode against a level 9 character on very slow just to mess around on the game, I always choose this stage. Good times, gooood times. --GameWinter (talk) 09:08, 16 June 2012 (EDT)
  7. Its Summer Time. This stage fits it perfectly. ZeldasmashTalk 09:48, 16 June 2012 (EDT)
  8. Summer resort>Oil-stinking raceway.Shanicpower  10:48, 16 June 2012 (EDT)
  9. Isle Delfino: So epic that it makes Mario wear short sleeves. DarkFox01 T C E 11:39, 16 June 2012 (EDT)
  10. Get in the water people! :D LightningBlue: Summer with Melee and Brawl 16:07, 16 June 2012 (EDT)
  11. High powered cars ruin everything. :P Dots The EarthBound   19:00, 16 June 2012 (EDT)
  12. Delfino plaza feels more lighthearted, whichever version, be it brawl or otherwise.ScoreCounter (talk) 03:50, 17 June 2012 (EDT)
  13. More unique places the platform lands on. F1reBurn1ng (talk) 12:35, 17 June 2012 (EDT)
  14. This stage reminds me of the time I used to play Super Mario Sunshine! Good Memories!! 67.68.41.205 14:43, 17 June 2012 (EDT) The Awesome
  15. I like both of these stages, but ultimately Delfino is better for me because it has the music it's supposed to, and not everything else except what it's supposed to. Toadat9021doh (talk) 19:53, 17 June 2012 (EDT)
  16. It was a toss-up for me. I really like Port Town Aero Drive since its overall theme reminded me of late 90's/early 00's import tuner street racing games, but I find Delfino Plaza's environment to be more enjoyable. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 11:50, 18 June 2012 (EDT)
  17. I love Delfino Plaza!! 205.189.194.201 20:22, 18 June 2012 (EDT)
  18. Cool Stage!! 38.116.192.103 11:57, 19 June 2012 (EDT)
  19. This stage rocks! Smash Master 13:09, 19 June 2012 (EDT)
  20. It's definitely more fun and exciting when compared to Port Town Aero Dive. 67.173.145.76 15:23, 22 June 2012 (EDT)
  21. This stage has Mario Sunshine nostalgia, and I far and away prefer this as a stage over Port Town Aero Dive. GormanLuigi   20:07, 22 June 2012 (EDT)

Half votes

  1. This stage is likely a stage from Super Mario Sunshine, and it travels to different sections which is fair to me. --Pokemontrainer476 00:14, 18 June 2012 (EDT)
  2. Because you don't get killed by cars that go 1 million miles per hour when you only have 40% in damage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.106.221.102 (talk • contribs) 18:02, 19 June 2012 (EDT)
  3. The locales are more varied than "Racetrack. Different racetrack. Another racetrack." ect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.46.176.60 (talk • contribs) 20:45, 22 June 2012 (EDT)

Votes for Port Town Aero Dive

  1. It has vehicles! ShupaRoeh  23:54, 15 June 2012 (EDT)
  2. YOU GOT BOOST POWER! WOW, YOU'RE WAY UP FRONT! FINISH! AWRIGHT, FIRST PLACE! --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 00:02, 16 June 2012 (EDT)
  3. REALLY hard decision as I really like both, but ultimately I pick Port Town since some of my most intense Brawls have happened there. 110.174.90.69 02:58, 16 June 2012 (EDT)
  4. Only because I hate Delfino Plaza. From my point of view, Delfino Plaza gets an F and has zero appeal. AirConditioner File:Accoolx.png 16:55, 16 June 2012 (EDT)
  5. LOOK AT THIS FANCY TOP HAT OF MINE Captain Falcon talk 16:59, 16 June 2012 (EDT)
  6. FALCON PUNCH! 24.168.107.113 09:59, 17 June 2012 (EDT)
  7. For some reason, I just have something against Mario.174.20.229.221 17:44, 17 June 2012 (EDT)
  8. I'm simply sticking to my guns on this one. 81.141.68.83 03:03, 18 June 2012 (EDT)
  9. The Cheese says: Despite this pitty vote Port Town Areo Dive will still lose badly. 75.31.4.16 17:52, 18 June 2012 (EDT) The Cheese
  10. I think I have this track down in F-Zero GX at least. 123JamesHeart   18:35, 19 June 2012 (EDT)
  11. Both stages are great, but I think I love Port Town Aero Dive a bit more because of the great visuals and a background that depicts more "action" (not to mention a cameo of R.O.B. as a background element!). Also, YOU GOT BOOST POWER! Fenyx4 (talk) 22:27, 21 June 2012 (EDT)

I'm asking toast--Bandit 02:11, 17 June 2012 (EDT)
So that people on Recent Changes don't just see /* Votes for Delfino Plaza */, spoiling what I voted for. Instead, they have to go on the page to find out. Toast  ltimatum  06:28, 17 June 2012 (EDT)

Patrat: That is nothing short of pure evil. I send my best regards to you, F1reBurning. Toast  ltimatum  17:03, 17 June 2012 (EDT)

The voting on Port Town Aero Dive's section needs to be fixed. Toadat9021doh (talk) 19:50, 17 June 2012 (EDT)

@Aircon: Are you going to use the same pun in every single match from now on?Shanicpower  Fear the RAWK! 01:47, 18 June 2012 (EDT)

Because Smash Arena's better, also don't advertise. ShupaRoeh  19:05, 18 June 2012 (EDT)

What a crazy two weeks in the Smash Arena! The Mother series got its first non-default win, and the F-Zero series got its first non-default loss. What a way to mix things up! Toadat9021doh (talk) 18:42, 23 June 2012 (EDT)
