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", 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! Though new requests for fights can no longer be made, voting on already existing requests can be done 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 145: Lightning Kick vs. Knee Smash

 
 Winner!!
undecided

0 to 0
 
A pair of fairs with flair. Which Leg attack with a shocking sweetspot will KO the competition?

Votes for Lightning Kick

Votes for Knee Smash

  1. EPIC!!! 204.191.134.129 00:08, 7 July 2012 (EDT)
  2. The two moves are pretty equal, but Falcon uses this, and he is awesome. DarkFox01: USA! 00:36, 7 July 2012 (EDT)
  3. This move is the original, and it was great in Melee. Naked Snake   01:09, 7 July 2012 (EDT)
  4. ...is this even a contest??? DoctorPain99 {ROLLBACKER} 02:11, 7 July 2012 (EDT)
  5. In Melee, the Knee was among the most feared forward aerials in the game, if not the best. It was remarkably easy to sweetspot with given it's sex kick properties, Falcon's superb mobility, and his many setup options. It sent foes in a semi spike trajectory, and had both high base knockbase and knockback scaling. Zelda's Fair/bair cannot simply compete. It's natural where my vote goes.--BrianDon't try me!  03:49, 7 July 2012 (EDT)
  6. Because.90.131.123.167 03:59, 7 July 2012 (EDT)
  7. You can't mess with Captain Falcon. Stranger 1260   06:14, 7 July 2012 (EDT)
  8. JUSTICE Captain Falcon talk 06:16, 7 July 2012 (EDT)
  9. Boss! Krazy4Krash (talk) 06:20, 7 July 2012 (EDT)

Comments

This seems like a rather one-sided contest due to Captain Falcon's general popularity (and the Knee Smash is one of his trademark moves, so...). Naked Snake   04:52, 7 July 2012 (EDT)

Round 144: Wario vs. Waluigi

 
 Winner!!
Waluigi
 

16 to 22.5
 
The "evil twin"s of the Marioverse are having another go at it. Which of the round mound of pound or the sleazy cheaty weenie will actually win something?

Votes for Wario

  1. He actually has a series. Two to be exact. LightningBlue 23:56, 29 June 2012 (EDT)
  2. D'oh I missed! Shanderu   23:58, 29 June 2012 (EDT)
  3. Pretty much like Wario though. And I don't really like Waluigi. Dots You can call me Pollyanna   23:59, 29 June 2012 (EDT)
  4. I like Wario as a playable character and I don't like Waluigi as an Assist Trophy. Plus I like the WarioWare games. 123JamesHeart   00:01, 30 June 2012 (EDT)
  5. Wario is more popular than Waluigi!! The Awesome 00:07, 30 June 2012 (EDT)
  6. Bandit 00:17, 30 June 2012 (EDT)
  7. I don't really like Waluigi. 204.191.140.116 00:19, 30 June 2012 (EDT)
  8. I actually hate Waluigi with a passion and Wario is one of my favourite characters, so for me this is a no-brainer. 110.174.90.69 02:25, 30 June 2012 (EDT)
  9. Wa-wa-waario!--ShupaRoeh  10:07, 30 June 2012 (EDT)
  10. I love his Wario Waft. Stranger 1260   10:33, 30 June 2012 (EDT)
  11. I personally am so horrified I want to claw my face out surprised because this suggestion made it, but might as well vote for Wario. AirConditioner File:Accoolx.png 16:18, 30 June 2012 (EDT)
  12. As much as I love Waluigi, Wario is playable and his two series of his own. Sorry, man with an upside-down, reflected L on his cap. DarkFox01, ETC. 18:34, 30 June 2012 (EDT)
  13. BUT SO IS YELLOW-- Captain Falcon talk 13:26, 1 July 2012 (EDT)
  14. The strong man prevails so, GO Wario GO GO Go Wario GO GO! Marioisawesome118   11:30, 5 July 2012 (EDT)
  15. Both have likeable qualities, but Wario edges it out for me. Maybe because Wario has so much presence compared to Waluigi, the dude with the weird-yet-intriguing inverted "L" emblazoned on his cap...? Fenyx4 (talk) 22:33, 5 July 2012 (EDT)

  5. Waaluigi!!!109.58.184.79 08:10, 1 July 2012 (EDT)
  6. I like him on Brawl in the Family, and besides, he's just a funny character. Wario's not bad, but I just don't like him in Brawl anyways (down smash takes forever...) 202.120.12.224 09:44, 1 July 2012 (EDT)
  7. Who could turn down the son of Eario? Besides, Waluigi uses a tennis racket, sending Mario Tennis: Power Tour nostalgia vibes through me. I guess you could say he's ace. Toast  ltimatum  09:58, 1 July 2012 (EDT)
  8. Always will be my favourite. Screw the critics. DoctorPain99 {ROLLBACKER} 12:48, 1 July 2012 (EDT)

  1. Waluigi can almost K.O. players at 0% So and Wario Don't smell him!! Watch a real life cartoon!
  2. Waluigi is tall and that's why I like it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.68.41.55 (talk • contribs) 22:46, June 30, 2012

Comments

Anyone notice Wario's buttons kinda look like garlic? LightningBlue: Summer with Melee and Brawl 00:18, 30 June 2012 (EDT)
Well, "Wario loves garlic", so it would make sense. 204.191.140.116 00:21, 30 June 2012 (EDT)

What happened to the Link vs. Samus suggestion??? 67.68.41.55 08:33, 30 June 2012 (EDT)

It has been decided whether or not it will be used, and so, has been removed from Suggestions. Toast  ltimatum  09:59, 1 July 2012 (EDT)

@AirConditioner B-b-but I suggested this...Shanicpower  Fear the RAWK! 14:47, 1 July 2012 (EDT)

A lot of your suggestions are awesome, but this one feels a bit unoriginal... I prefer matchups that are less obvious. Sorry if I offended you, and don't take it personally, someone was bound to suggest this one at one point or another and I would have hated it whether you, an IP, or Toomai had come up with the idea for it. :\ AirConditioner File:Accoolx.png 17:37, 1 July 2012 (EDT)
Wow! Two days in and already Waluigi has more votes in this one than the past two matches he was in COMBINED. Just found that worthy of noting here. Toadat9021doh (talk) 18:17, 1 July 2012 (EDT)

I must ask, why the Melee trophies? Both of these two have Brawl artwork. Toast  ltimatum  18:48, 1 July 2012 (EDT)

They both were trophies in Melee. Wario is playable in Brawl; Waluigi isn't.--ShupaRoeh  18:56, 1 July 2012 (EDT)
Shupa, they both had artwork in Brawl I don't understand what Toomai wanted for those images. Maybe he couldn't find a Waluigi image. LightningBlue 23:21, 1 July 2012 (EDT)
Lightning, let's stop.--ShupaRoeh  23:29, 1 July 2012 (EDT)
While consistency is nice, I get bored of using Brawl artwork/screenshots all the time, especially if there are images that work better together (such as this case). Toomai Glittershine   The Quiet 19:40, 4 July 2012 (EDT)

The Cheese says: Dose anyone know why the Smash Arena isn't taking anymore suggestions? Is it closing or somthing?The Cheese   09:55, 2 July 2012 (EDT)

Toomai is going to come up with the rest of the rounds until he feels that Suggestions should be opened again. AirConditioner File:Accoolx.png 10:01, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
As always, once the queue is too full, suggestions are closed until there aren't many left. Toomai Glittershine   The Quiet 19:40, 4 July 2012 (EDT)

http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2009/04/01/151-witf/ Naked Snake   10:15, 5 July 2012 (EDT)

I personally think that the Brawl portraits/pictures would've worked better for this round, but I can see Toomai's point as well about how "Brawl-only pictures" can get boring after a while for some people. Fenyx4 (talk) 22:33, 5 July 2012 (EDT)
No, I definitely agree with you that having Brawl art would make more sense because not everyone is familiar with BitF's portrayal of Waluigi (although some of these votes tell me that there are fellow BitF'ers here). I was just posting the link in case some people were wondering why Waluigi is so popular. Naked Snake   22:36, 5 July 2012 (EDT)
The other reason I picked Melee trophis is because they're more self-consistent than the Brawl artwork of the two (Wario has the gradient background and a far more detailed model). Toomai Glittershine   The Spark 00:03, 7 July 2012 (EDT)
