  1. This dude packs quite a wallop, I tell you what. Granted, Olimar can be quite a headache to master. But I'm starting to get the hang of it. Bowser, Ganondorf, Ike, whatever...eat your hearts out! 67.166.229.4 22:02, 29 March 2013 (EDT)

Round 182: Peach's Castle vs. Hyrule CastleEdit

 
 Winner!!
Peach's Castle
 

25 to 17
 
Epic castles on green grounds that serve as two of the first arenas in the series. With roofs as red and green as their protagonists' and rulers of equal job descriptions, which stone sanctuary besieges the other?

Votes for Hyrule CastleEdit

  1. If the Mushroom Kingdom gets a different ruler, they would have to change the name of Peach's Castle. That isn't a problem in Hyrule Castle; it keeps its name, regardless of the ruler.71.105.121.171 00:07, 6 April 2013 (EDT)

  14. I just think this is from a cooler series Griffin94719:04, 8 April 2013 (EDT)
  15. Hyrule Castle, in my opinion, is designed better, is much less garish, actually has some semblance of security, and is helmed by a relatively competent ruler. Also, you don't wanna underestimate The King. Hawk 21 Talk 16:05, 8 April 2013 (EDT)
  16. I fell in love with Zelda with OoT. Plus, this is the only stage used in SSB. in Peru, and they're no joke. Doomolish (talk) 02:00, 9 April 2013 (EDT)

Round 183: Knee Smash vs. Falcon PunchEdit

 
 Winner!!
Knee Smash
 

16 to 15
 
While the former is certainly less memetic than the latter, it tends to be significantly more useful in-game. Which move earns top spot?

Votes for Knee SmashEdit

  1. Very much more satisfying when you land this one, it feels like a much more solid hit.75.31.4.16 23:25, 12 April 2013 (EDT)
  2. Falcon Punch can get cancelled by Jigglypuff's neutral attack.84.92.35.200 05:15, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
  3. I played Street Fighter for the Playstation with my sister yesterday as Allen. I KO'd her character with a knee attack, to which I said: "Knee of Justice! Oh, wait, that's Captain Falcon." Lugiaboy202 (talk) 07:29, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
  4. Much as I'd like to claim I kneerly voted the other way, I've always favoured the Knee Smash. I think it's more satisfying and entertaining to land. Plus, Ganondorf doesn't have a superior version of this move. Toast  ltimatum  08:16, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
  5. I have seen a couple of Captain Falcon combo videos, and most of them always finish off the opponent with a well landed Knee Smash. -- Airconny   08:44, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
  6. Falcon Punch is slower.--PSIWolf a.k.a. Luna! 09:17, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
  7. Right you are, previous voter. Falcon Punch is pretty lacking in practicality. Knee Smash beats the banjos out of Falcon Punch any 'ole day of the week. 67.166.229.4 11:25, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
  8. Much more of a surprising attack, therefore, more effective :o Lucas-IV- CREEP  
  9. They're both overrated pieces of stupidity I personally prefer this one. Fedorakeeby11  Failcon Pawch!! 06:40, 14 April 2013 (EDT)

  15. He doesn't scream out the name of the move...Crazy Hand (talk)   10:03, 17 April 2013 (EDT)

Round 184: Trophies vs. StickersEdit

 
 Winner!!
Trophies
 

17.5 to 5
 
Collectibles showing off Nintendo's history in different ways. Which form of expression shows up the other?

Votes for TrophiesEdit

  1. These give you information about the subject, whereas stickers don't.71.105.121.171 22:51, 19 April 2013 (EDT)
  2. There are more 'challenge' trophies than 'challenge' stickers. 81.152.52.127 03:32, 20 April 2013 (EDT)
  3. Got really sick of collecting stickers after a while, especially when I only had a few left and they were the randomly generated ones, whereas I always enjoyed collecting trophies and reading their information. 110.174.90.69 07:52, 20 April 2013 (EDT)
  4. Because this came first. Terrible is April Showers 07:54, 20 April 2013 (EDT)
  5. The last 50 stickers require too much luck to get. At least getting all the trophies isn't nearly as tedious.84.92.35.200 11:00, 20 April 2013 (EDT)
  6. I don't think getting stickers are very rewarding to me since its just something to put on an object. But trophies are rewarding since you did something remarkable and you can place it in your bedroom to remember it in your life. Dots   The Blue 11:47, 20 April 2013 (EDT)
  7. You need all the stickers if you want to complete your trophy list, unless you use a golden hammer but that's cheap. Shanderu   14:58, 20 April 2013 (EDT)
  8. Trophies are very awesome. Baconlover9090 (talk) 17:45, 20 April 2013 (EDT)
  9. 75.31.4.16 21:41, 20 April 2013 (EDT)
  10. Stickers are flat and 2-dimensional. TROPHIES are 3D. Nuff said. SmashBall the Milkshake (talk) 22:38, 20 April 2013 (EDT)
  11. Stickers...aren't terribly exciting to me. Also, I find trophies to be far more aesthetically appealing, and they are also accompanied by text that describe the character(s) or object(s) in question. Likewise, Brawl's stickers amount to little more than online search engine image cutouts, and they are about as common as grass, the fact they enhance your characters' stats in the Subspace Emissary notwithstanding. Hawk 21 Talk 22:47, 20 April 2013 (EDT)
  12. I think Hawk21 just said everything for me. Lugiaboy202 (talk) 14:11, 22 April 2013 (EDT)
  13. SSBBNess (talk)   07:56, 23 April 2013 (EDT)
  14. Trophies are more rewarding. When I get a new one, I get very happy. But stickers are very common. And I doesn't even use stickers in The Subspace Emissary.Tepig (talk) 12:17, 24 April 2013 (EDT)
  15. Stickers are 1-dimentional. ShupaRoeh  23:45, 24 April 2013 (EDT)
  16. They're in both games, and it's a lot easier to get all of them than all of the stickers (except for the trophy you get for getting all the stickers, of course :P). Not to mention you can learn a lot of history from them - I know I did. RickTommy 22:42, 25 April 2013 (EDT)
  17. I like trophies. They're my friends. ChuckNorris  08:13, 27 April 2013 (EDT)

  1. The trophies are like collectable action figures,but in a game. Stickers, you waste one, its wasted forever. I prefer trophies better.-Kaizer24.185.135.102 23:22, 20 April 2013 (EDT)

Votes for StickersEdit

  4. FAILCON PUNCH DOESN'T ALWAYS WIN!! I'm in a mario mood, so this is for Paper Mario: Sticker Star. Fedorakeeby11  Failcon Pawch!! 20:06, 20 April 2013 (EDT)
  5. /\ Sticker Star is great until the puzzles start to require stickers from half the game ago that you probably used already. Then it sucks. At least the boss fights are epic. Why am I voting for stickers again? --174.59.4.202 23:08, 20 April 2013 (EDT)

Round 185: Master Hand vs. Crazy HandEdit

 
 Winner!!
Master Hand
 

16 to 15
 
Last time this dualistic duo went down, it was a 7-7 tie. Will a symmetric rematch have a different result?

Votes for Master HandEdit

  1. Master Hand is a really underrated boss in Brawl (in term of difficulty), not many seem to realise how difficult he actually is on the highest difficulties in Classic, and how much he carries the Hand duo in Brawl. Omega Tyrant   11:10, 27 April 2013 (EDT)
  2. I'm a righty. Awesome Cardinal 2000 12:13, 27 April 2013 (EDT)

Wasn't this match already done before? 66.188.18.174 15:15, 2 May 2013 (EDT)

Yes, it was done before. However, it got enough support to justify doing it again. If you didn't vote in this matchup before, consider yourself lucky! 71.105.121.171 17:08, 2 May 2013 (EDT)

This was suggested previously; combatants must have appeared in a Smash Bros. game. Toomai Glittershine   The Incomprehensible 22:20, 3 May 2013 (EDT)
But why do they have to appear in a smash game? One battle was the announcers for the 3 games, and they aren't technically "in" the game.Baconlover9090 (talk) 07:24, 4 May 2013 (EDT)
You're probably "in" SmashWiki right now as you read this, right? Look at it more figuratively. Toomai could probably link you to the place where that was suggested, so you could see why it was turned down. Awesome Cardinal 2000 07:59, 4 May 2013 (EDT)
"Why"? Because that's one of the rules; it's why we don't have things like "Fight between two characters that the fans want in the next game". Toomai Glittershine   The Indescribable 08:48, 4 May 2013 (EDT)
