Round 166: Link vs. Samus

Winner!!
Link

20 to 11
The two arsenal-toting adventurers of legend are back. While one fights at close range and the other prefers distances, they aren't exactly slouches in the other's department, and they both have the tools to cleave through enemy forces like paper. How will this tiebreaker end?

Votes for Link

  1. The green elf never loses against his opponents!!! Dots The Engineer   23:59, 30 November 2012 (EST)
  2. Can actually KILL! 204.191.140.194 00:20, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  3. He has a bow and arrow and a sword! The Awesome 09:00, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  4. Closely linked to my main, but not quite the samus him. Okay, that was extremely forced. Toast  ltimatum  09:49, 1 December 2012 (EST)

  8. --Havoc48 >:D!!! 13:39, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  9. I'm not much of a Zelda fan, but I shall vote Link. I just like his good attack power folks. Scoring KO's as Samus (and Sonic for that matter), let alone win the match, can and will be such a pain. 67.166.229.4 14:57, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  10. There are more Links than Samuses. Mr. Anon talk 15:47, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  11. He can beat your a** legally! Terrible is Winter 17:03, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  12. Link is op with those bombs. :P LightningBlue  17:08, 1 December 2012 (EST)

  15. Definitely prefer both Link and Legend of Zelda to Samus and Metroid. 110.174.90.69 20:21, 2 December 2012 (EST)
  16. Have I played Zelda? Every game since Twilight Princess. Have I played Metroid? Not even once.174.20.251.84 21:15, 2 December 2012 (EST)
  17. IMO, he has better moves. Red (talk) 14:27, 5 December 2012 (EST)
  18. I bet Link could save the Twinkies. ChuckNorris  20:35, 5 December 2012 (EST)
  19. Link really has a good move set, even if he is a low tier. --Airconny (talk) 21:03, 5 December 2012 (EST)

Votes for Samus

  1. She has the greatest taunts in the game. Seriously. You jump multiple tiers with it. And you get items. Fugudev 00:00, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  2. Samus' arsenal is more impressive, plus I'm more familiar with her games. Super Smash Bros.-wise, while Link is better at killing, Samus is a little more versatile and more of her attacks are executed faster. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 02:09, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  3. LAZORZ!!!!! BunnyHoodYoshi9001 Talk to me 08:00, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  4. I like Samus much, much better than Link. Of course, if this was Toon Link vs. Samus, that would be another story. Air Conditioner   Helter skelter! 08:26, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  5. Laser beams vs. one of the lamest characters in the whole series? Please. 96.232.94.87 09:55, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  6. TheAwesomefroggy (talk) 11:39, 1 December 2012 (EST)
  7. Who said this had to be brawl Samus? After all, that's just a picture. While both Link and Samus are viable in Melee (being lenient on the definition of viable), Samus is a much better characters having an infinitely better recovery and zoning abilities. Those missiles are so very annoying. She is really hard to edgeguard; even Marth has to work for those gimps. Link dies after 1 down tilt. But if you kiddies must insist on talking about brawl, Samus still wins. She has a high tier counterpart with items to start the match as well as a long glide toss to complement them. The low tier Samus is still higher than Link on the tier list for many of the same reasons that Melee Samus outplaces Melee Link.--BrianDon't try me!  18:40, 2 December 2012 (EST)

  9. I don't actually care but Link's 2nd half-vote made me choose Samus.68.115.61.130 12:31, 5 December 2012 (EST)

  6. This stage is in 2 games. Terrible is Winter 12:06, 8 December 2012 (EST)
  7. Midair stadium is a boring version of Final Destination. Instead of flying through galaxies, we get a poorly rendered crowd. Well, in Pokemon's case it also has a poorly rendered crowded but a dynamic stage. --Havoc48 >:D!!! 12:09, 8 December 2012 (EST)
  8. It changes its layout often. I'm no stranger to the anime; Pokemon gyms have their own themes. 67.166.229.4 13:19, 8 December 2012 (EST)
  9. So Midair Stadium is in the middle of the air. So what? NOTHING BEATS POKÉMON!!! Air Conditioner   ...or is he? 14:47, 8 December 2012 (EST)

  14. In the era of Ken, this stage was considered the most balanced stage in melee. Since then, that title has been given to battlefield, but this stage is still one of my favorite counterpicks when Yoshi's Story or FD is banned. I'm a little uncertain when I counterpick this stage against Space animals, but I think Marth goes even against them on this field. There is enough room in the middle to chain throw them and the platforms are low enough like Yoshi's Story such that I can trap them with up tilts and up airs. --BrianDon't try me!  14:11, 9 December 2012 (EST)

Comments

You know, Mid-Air stadium is just FD with a different background. Don't think it has to be legal, though another FD like stage to counterpick is always nice.--BrianDon't try me!  14:13, 9 December 2012 (EST)

Actually, Mid-Air Stadium is Pokemon Stadium 2 with the platforms removed and a different environment (in regards to the sky and the land beyond the stadium). Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 21:17, 10 December 2012 (EST)
