Round 176: Samus vs. Captain Falcon

Winner!!
Captain Falcon

13 to 18
Two future-world bounty hunters with widespread reputations. One eliminates pirates and planets, while the other only does it on the side for fun - who gets paid for this match?

Votes for Samus

  1. I find Falcon to be overrated. 204.191.134.186 11:46, 16 February 2013 (EST)

  3. Her games are actually good. Pokemonxy (talk) 13:54, 16 February 2013 (EST)
  4. I just REALLY don't like Captain Falcon's special attack sound effects or his taunts. Crazy Hand (talk) File:CrazyHandPhoto.jpg 14:00, 16 February 2013 (EST)
  5. Samus is a favourite of mine, I only use Captain Falcon when I'm being experimental. Fedorakeeby11  14:51, 16 February 2013 (EST)

Votes for Captain Falcon

  1. Despite not voting for his Falcon Punch the last round (which I know would win over Fire Jump Punch), Captain Falcon is still my man. Dots   The Gangnum Style 09:54, 16 February 2013 (EST)

  8. I'm back. Terrible is a Valentine 21:21, 17 February 2013 (EST)
  9. Easily Captain Falcon. Not only is he more fun to play as, I overall prefer his games to Metroid (although I don't mind Metroid). 110.174.90.69 21:58, 17 February 2013 (EST)
  10. He's one of my best characters in all three games. Samus, on the other hand; she is one of my worst characters in 64 and Melee, but one of my moderately good characters in Brawl. RickTommy 22:12, 17 February 2013 (EST)

Round 177: Crate vs. Barrel

Winner!!
Crate

16 to 14
Squared stiff boxes and big fat barrels that either shatter or detonate on impact. Will the cubical container or cylindrical shape dole defeat?

Votes for Crate

  1. It's actually an aileron roll... DoctorPain99  23:57, 22 February 2013 (EST)
  2. I'm more used to getting my gifts in boxes. I never get gifts in cylinders. :P Dots   The Team Fortress 2 00:07, 23 February 2013 (EST)
  3. I have an easier time breaking these for items. 204.191.134.186 02:02, 23 February 2013 (EST)
  4. Crates have a maximum three-item yield and easier to deal with than barrels. 67.166.229.4 12:28, 23 February 2013 (EST)
  5. I like rolling crates better. Terrible is a Valentine 13:32, 23 February 2013 (EST)
  6. I like boxes. Weird reason, I know. AquaKawwi 14:05, 23 February 2013 (EST)
  7. Barrels are stupid. I think that's pretty much why the Wii is box shaped. 67.142.171.27 15:51, 23 February 2013 (EST)User:BabyRosalinaMKW
  8. On behalf of the rolling crates. Those are brilliant items, shame they couldn't have a separate switch on the Item Menu. Toast  ltimatum  16:08, 23 February 2013 (EST)
  9. I hate Barrels! Crates are more trustworthy. --GameWinter (talk) 07:07, 25 February 2013 (EST)

  11. All three designs look cooler on these.Crazy Hand (talk) File:CrazyHandPhoto.jpg 18:11, 25 February 2013 (EST)
  12. I like the look of the present box. 129.128.29.138 10:22, 26 February 2013 (EST)
  13. People are only voting for barrels because they're called barrels, which sounds similar to the barrel roll which is not technically a barrel roll. I would weep for humanity because of that, if I hadn't already done so.174.20.238.9 17:34, 28 February 2013 (EST)
  14. Barrels always roll and hit me and I don't like that. ChuckNorris  17:38, 1 March 2013 (EST)
  15. 2 words: barrels roll. They roll off the stage and nothing happens. Crates can explode on impact or drop helpful items. Baconlover9090 (talk) 20:12, 1 March 2013 (EST)
  16. i like crates because you can blow up people and barrels just roll DO A BARREL ROLL!!!!!!!RoyalRapids (talk) 20:17, 1 March 2013 (EST)

  11. Swords get my vote because they are long, sleek, and used by stealth like people. Hammers are a bit too primative. User:BabyRosalinaMKW BabyRosalinaMKW (talk) 12:18, 3 March 2013 (EST)

Comments

this match might be very close Baconlover9090 (talk) 09:07, 2 March 2013 (EST)

You could sort of do a Ken Combo with ICs using Nair/Bair and fair. Also, comments about how close the contest is are not allowed. Ac2k 13:11, 2 March 2013 (EST)

I don't think Bair would work because you have to get back to the ground to turn around for the fair. I forget the trajectory for Nair, so I'll try it in Melee later (Brawl won't work because only Nana can spike with fair). In any case a more effective combo into fair would be simply f throw into fair.--BrianDon't try me!  14:26, 2 March 2013 (EST)
