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. If you put your vote in the half-votes section without stating reasons why you want it there, it is worth zero and may be deleted by any user. You may replace it later should you do it correctly.

Round 149: Tabuu vs. Meta Knight

 
 Winner!!
undecided

0 to 0
 
A supposedly-overpowered boss against a supposedly-overpowered top tier. Which exceedingly annoying supremist reigns supreme?

Votes for Tabuu

  1. I see his face less often. 204.191.133.90 00:16, 4 August 2012 (EDT)
  2. Somewhat of a pity vote, I just like the concept of Tabuu. Killing him with a sweet-spotted Knee Smash is the best feeling in the world. Krazy4Krash (talk) 05:03, 4 August 2012 (EDT)
  3. Because. DoctorPain99 {ROLLBACKER} 14:46, 4 August 2012 (EDT)
  4. Meta Knight puts up a better fight, but my goldfish named Tabuu lasted more than double the lifespan of my other two goldfish. Toast  ltimatum  16:54, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

Votes for Meta Knight

  1. I just like this guy better because he's playable. FishPlay   00:02, 4 August 2012 (EDT)
  2. Meta Knight > Tabuu. NO QUESTIONS ASKED--Bandit 23:58, 3 August 2012 (EDT)
  3. He can beat Ta-booooo!--ShupaRoeh  00:06, 4 August 2012 (EDT)
  4. Darth Vader in a pint-sized form. Also, no doughnuts for hearts. --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 00:13, 4 August 2012 (EDT)
  5. Tabuu isn't actually that hard once you learn how to dodge his one hit KO attack. Meta Knight could easily beat him, and can actually pose a challenge. 110.174.90.69 00:17, 4 August 2012 (EDT)
  6. I go with anything else than Tabuu all knight long. DragonMistress (talk) 03:29, 4 August 2012 (EDT)
  7. Hm...Meta Knight is from the Kirby series. And Kirby is my favorite series. KIRBY DAMNIT!!! LightningBlue  03:51, 4 August 2012 (EDT)
  8. Holy cow - this is mine! :) Anyways, I say MK because at least I've beaten Tabuu on the highest difficulty. I wouldn't stand a chance against a MK who knew what they were doing. 24.168.107.113 11:07, 4 August 2012 (EDT)
  9. Come back when you can put up a fight, sug! 97.67.160.226 11:24, 4 August 2012 (EDT)
  10. Metaknight FTW! Good always triumphs over evil. Smash Master 14:22, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

Comments

Seriously Toomai, I think a Sonic vs. Tabuu matchup would've been better. Since Sonic damaged one of Tabuu's wings. LightningBlue  03:53, 4 August 2012 (EDT)
I agree.--ShupaRoeh  11:17, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

I think that would've been more one-sided than this one. Also LightningBlue, you don't have to put a colon before each post.--Bandit 11:45, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

Oh man! Just one more week until the five-in-one special! And since this match was used right before it, I have an idea of what two of the matches in the special are going to be... Toadat9021doh (talk) 16:35, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

Round 148: Torchic vs. Piplup

 
 Winner!!
Piplup
 

14 to 22
 
A bout between two common Pokéball Pokémon: both birds that cover their immediate area in trapping hitboxes, but controlling vastly different elements. Which peeper prevails?

Votes for Torchic

  1. Even though there's the type disadvantage and all, purely talking about their SSBB abilities I prefer Torchic since it actually attacks pretty much instantly after being released from the Poke Ball, unlike Piplup. 110.174.90.69 00:06, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  2. I don't play with Pokeballs on, but to me a fire attack makes more sense that a water one. Naked Snake   00:31, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  3. The Cheese says: Fire RUELS! The Cheese   00:34, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  4. So tough to decide! I'm probably going to go with Torchic, though. I always mimic its voice when released. Too cute. Krazy4Krash (talk) 00:40, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  5. Blaziken was awesome back when the Fire/Fighting starter WASN'T completely overused. 24.168.107.113 10:46, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  6. I like fire better--Bandit 11:51, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  7. While I would normally support the water type, I do like the look of Torchic more. Plus I've never played past generation III. JamesHeartless 13:14, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  8. Does more damage and knockback.--71.160.242.60 19:36, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  9. I have a history with Torchics. I first got one as my starter in Emerald and nicknamed it Fireballs. After beating the game with it, I wanted to play through Emerald again with all three starters, so I got Fireballs to produce two children, one called FireballJr, the other without a name. One was then used on Emerald, while the other was used on a friend's playthrough of FireRed. At a later date, both Fireballs and FireballJr were migrated to Black, where FireballJr then had a son of its own after falling in love with a nice Leafeon, called FireballIV, also making Fireballs a Grandfather, and Ditto a Grandmother. Unnamed Torchic is yet to find itself a partner, but maybe one day, the family will expand even further. Toast  ltimatum  20:02, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  10. This is the starter that I used for my favorite Pokemon game, Emerald. Stranger 1260   09:55, 29 July 2012 (EDT)
  11. Torchic actually does damage,Piplup doesn't.--DarkVexon (talk) 20:22, 29 July 2012 (EDT)
  12. Piplup is easy to avoid, and Torchic is better to knock into. I have had both Pokemon in their games, but, not suprisingly, I've Torchic longer and Blaziken is great. Floor2000x (talk) 18:22, 30 July 2012 (EDT)
  13. Torchic's cuter, and has a much better evolution. The White Blur , the Whitest Thing Alive.
  14. Torchic does way more damage and has a good chance of KOing opponents. It also stays in one spot, and you can push opponents to it, unlike Piplup, where you can just jump over it easily.-Kaizer24.185.135.102 23:13, 2 August 2012 (EDT)

Votes for Piplup

  1. Can PWN Torchic easily. ShupaRoeh  23:59, 27 July 2012 (EDT)
  2. Well despite the type advantage, I prefer Piplup because every time it gets called out it just shoves me off the stage. While with Torchic I can escape and continue fighting against my enemy's. Headmaster Hand (talk) 00:17, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  3. I just like the idea of Piplup killing itself;) FishPlay (talk) 02:05, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  4. Another tough one. Piplup's evolution line is better. Don't get me wrong Blaziken is one of my favorite fighting types, but Empoleon is [literally] much cooler. His typing is unique and he has an imperial look, which earns it points. Therefore, Piplup has my vote. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 04:29, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  5. Piplup can easily knock out characters once they get trapped!!! The Awesome 10:39, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  6. Piplup can drag you to your doom! 204.191.139.10 10:41, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  7. Many reasons: Its actually pretty easy to avoid Torchic's attack, Piplup can actually do a suicide KO even if the opponents damage % is low. And even though Blaziken would be better than Empoleon, Penguins are my favorite animal. And lastly, Water does super effect Fire. Dots The PSI Asian   11:48, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  8. It doesn't work half of the time, but when it does... --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 15:04, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  9. Just look at my signature and tell me what my favorite starter is. :| Air Conditioner File:Accoolx.png 17:00, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  10. I like his water attack. R.O.BitySonic (talk) 18:28, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
  11. Looks like a penguin. That is all.94.15.11.116 07:06, 29 July 2012 (EDT)
  12. I would say two points. One, it is generally more useful. True, it's inaccurate due to a slow start up, but if it hits is does a little damage and uncommonly KOs on regular stages and almost always does so on walk-off-blast-line stages. Two, it's a penguin, and a cute penguin at that. True, in the Pokémon series Blaziken is more useful than Empoleon, but Piplup trumps Torchic in both Pokémon AND Brawl. Davsto (talk) 13:15, 29 July 2012 (EDT)
  13. I love watching Piplup surf back and forth in a walled-in area. Toadat9021doh (talk) 14:03, 29 July 2012 (EDT)
  14. Puplup is more useful than Torchic, 'cause it drags the opponents to their doom. Smash Master 14:18, 29 July 2012 (EDT)
  15. Type advantage. Type advantage. LightningBlue  15:53, 29 July 2012 (EDT)
  16. Per LightningBlue and his new sig. DarkFox01: Smashing in Summer 16:01, 29 July 2012 (EDT)
  17. I LOVE PENGUINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are cute and fluffy and Piplup is no exception. Oh, and Piplup can talk too. ChuckNorris  12:09, 31 July 2012 (EDT)
  18. I would say exactly the same thing as AirConditioner if I had an Empoleon sig.--Shanicpower  Make it rain! 12:43, 31 July 2012 (EDT)Piplup's my favorite too...
  19. Water > Fire. 67.173.145.76 20:16, 1 August 2012 (EDT)
  20. My first pokemon game was Diamond. My mom started it, chose Piplup and gave it a stupid nickname. DragonMistress (talk) 14:31, 2 August 2012 (EDT)DragonMistress 20:30, 2 August 1012
  21. 64.130.180.158 15:55, 2 August 2012 (EDT)
  22. Water beats fire. Cherrim98 Talk 23:07, 3 August 2012 (EDT) Thats right im back!

ShupaRoeh you didn't put the # next to your comment. Headmaster Hand (talk) 00:19, 28 July 2012 (EDT)

I would fix it, but something else did. ShupaRoeh  10:23, 29 July 2012 (EDT)

Oh my gosh!!!!! Toast didn't make a pun! There was plenty of ideals, and he didn't use any. Wow. Davsto (talk) 13:10, 29 July 2012 (EDT)

Stop posting comments that attract your attention. ShupaRoeh  13:13, 29 July 2012 (EDT)
