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", 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! If you have any requests for future fights, please feel free to leave a message 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 124: Bucculus vs. ReDead

Bucculus - Brawl Trophy.png
 Winner!!
undecided

0 to 0
ReDead.png
One classic and one newfound, these two enemies like their prey fresher than fresh and easy develop attachments to people. Will the bisectioned bouncer or ominous reanimation survive?

Votes for Bucculus

  1. Yay, first vote! Seriously, though, pity vote. 68.174.11.29 09:08, 4 February 2012 (EST)
  2. believe it or not, this thing actually heals me :o Lucas-IV- CREEP MCLucas.png 10:15, 4 February 2012 (EST)

  4. Epicly pity Sederts (talk) 18:46, 4 February 2012 (EST)
  5. Let's see... An enemy who hurts me, or an enemy who hurts me slightly then drops a recovery item that MORE THAN makes up for it. Sure, these are annoying, but I don't play SSE much, anyway...PokémonUltimate PokUltSigPic.JPG 00:50, 5 February 2012 (EST)
  6. these guys kiss you and are kind of cute...Wa?207.236.90.177 09:01, 6 February 2012 (EST)
  7. This one looks scarier. >_< 140.182.166.5 10:41, 6 February 2012 (EST)
  8. ReDeads gave me nightmares as a kid. 199.185.67.18 11:25, 6 February 2012 (EST)

Votes for ReDead

  1. The other enemy is fucking annoying. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 23:31, 3 February 2012 (EST)
  2. 'Cause it has an image I made Because Legend of Zelda, bro... --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 23:43, 3 February 2012 (EST)
  3. OoT=Win DoctorPain99 {ROLLBACKER} 23:54, 3 February 2012 (EST)
  4. He's annoying, but I love the Underground Maze. --MeleeMarth01 (talk) 00:12, 4 February 2012 (EST)
  5. Disgusting, but I utterly loathe Fish Lips along with mostly everything pertaining to the Subspace Emissary's adventure game, OCs, and story, as ReDead comes from games that are actually, well, good. Seriously, these enemies are dumb. Who designed those abominations, anyway? Hawk 21File:FZeroSymbol.pngTalk 01:54, 4 February 2012 (EST)
  6. Wow, Bucculus looks scarier than a ReDead. 123JamesHeart PatheticStickFigure.jpg 02:55, 4 February 2012 (EST)
  7. ReDeads are WAY more formidible than Bucculus. 110.174.90.69 03:54, 4 February 2012 (EST)
  8. I find ReDeads rather relatable to the typical teenager. They sleep all day, walk with a droop, speak through a series of groans and grunts, latch onto anything they deem attractive, and... Yeah. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png
  9. ^ Gee, thanks. --174.59.4.202 09:58, 4 February 2012 (EST)
  10. ITS A FREAKIN ZOMBIE!!!!!!!Drakon64 CharizardHeadSSBB.png 10:50, 4 February 2012 (EST)
  11. The ReDeads are very easy to get by. But the Bucculus are very annoying. ..... The Liquid 11:27, 4 February 2012 (EST)
  12. Zombie vs. A thing that attacks by kissing, I think I know what I'm voting for...Yoshirocks341 YoshiHeadSSBB.png 15:51, 4 February 2012 (EST)
  13. Hate them both, but if I had to pick one, it would be this one. --Fireemblemlogo.pngFan275 16:46, 4 February 2012 (EST)
  14. A lot less annoying than Bucculus, and a lot easier to kill. Seriously, you have to jump and use a down aerial to kill a Bucculus, and even that only works some of the time. Takava (talk) 23:50, 4 February 2012 (EST)
  15. Which is the worser of the two evils? The Bucculus (it seems everyone hates those guys). In Ocarina of Time, Redeads were even easier to defeat. Just use the Sun Song. LightningBlue: Electric! 02:39, 5 February 2012 (EST)
  16. I like zombies. THEAVENGINGBANDIT 22:56, 5 February 2012 (EST)
  17. ReDead's a zombie. Bucculus is a plant. Logistically? No contest. 92.28.200.13 02:57, 6 February 2012 (EST)
  18. Bucculus doesnt do much other than slow u down. more of an annoyance than an enemy.184.7.168.4 07:40, 6 February 2012 (EST)
  19. The redead can kill people that dosnt know what to do but the Buccalus cant kill a thing like even a noob can escape it(by accident)--Arcwarioman (talk) 16:54, 6 February 2012 (EST)
  20. Urm... they don't try to kiss you to death! Solar Dragon (Talk • Contribs.) 18:02, 6 February 2012 (EST)
  21. More fun to kill. Even though they're already dead, so, um, more like cut into tiny bits.174.20.247.93 19:19, 6 February 2012 (EST)
  22. It still gives me nightmares, but they're way easier to kill by a longshot (see what i did there? +5000 internets to whoever gets the joke)--76.97.139.164 21:08, 6 February 2012 (EST)
  23. One of my favorite Zelda enemies. I don't really care for Bucculus. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 22:16, 6 February 2012 (EST)
  24. ReDeads have a cool, somewhat-atypical prefix in their name (as opposed to undead), come from the Legend of Zelda series, and aren't as freaking annoying as the kiss-of-death Bucculus/Bucculi/whatever, who remind me of a mushroom enemy from the game Rocket: Robot On Wheels that does a similar thing, although it just latches onto you without actually draining energy. And dispatching oneself of Bucculus is almost a nightmare in itself, as you can't just walk up to it and attack. GOSHDARN BUCCULUS, indeed. 72.3.33.7 20:16, 8 February 2012 (EST)

Lucas, are you referring to its item drops? Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 11:36, 4 February 2012 (EST)

Yes, it can drop maxim tomatoes, which can heal more then it damages :o Lucas-IV- CREEP MCLucas.png 10:47, 7 February 2012 (EST)

I think he is being either ironic or true. LightningBlue: Electric! 02:43, 5 February 2012 (EST)

Another great choice. These two are very annoying enemies in the Smash Bros. Series (both from separate games). LightningBlue: Electric! 02:43, 5 February 2012 (EST)

Well, first vote for ReDead contains a bad word (f word)... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.236.90.177 (talk • contribs) 14:04, 6 February 2012

Cuss words are allowed as long as they are not used to demean a specific person. 123JamesHeart PatheticStickFigure.jpg 13:14, 6 February 2012 (EST)

I am disappointed in the lack of The Legend of Zelda references. LightningBlue: Electric! 21:39, 6 February 2012 (EST)

James don't mislead people by changing the name of the article link. SmashWiki is not censored. LightningBlue: Electric! 21:39, 6 February 2012 (EST)

I fail to see how it is misleading; it brings the viewer to the appropriate area with no problems. --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 22:07, 6 February 2012 (EST)

Ok ok. Fine. LightningBlue: Electric! 13:30, 7 February 2012 (EST)

Admittedly, I thought that Re-Dead Vote #8 was quite the amusing comparison. Surprisingly, I'm just now learning about the possibility of Bucculus sometimes dropping HP-restoring food, although that's probably because I don't let Bucculus stick around long enough for its poison sac to fill anyway, due to Bucculus being the embodiment of sheer annoyance. Also, the number of Google Search hits for the term "Bucculus" are a bit surprising...but it looks like that's due to there possibly being another meaning for "bucculus"... 72.3.33.7 20:16, 8 February 2012 (EST)

Um, do any of us think this should be over by now?--Arcwarioman (talk) 10:11, 9 February 2012 (EST)

Smash Arena fights last about a week and are updated each Friday or early Saturday (in my time zone; Eastern Time in the United States). 123JamesHeart PatheticStickFigure.jpg 11:14, 9 February 2012 (EST)

Round 123: Lugia vs. Ho-Oh

Lugia brawl.jpg
 Winner!!
Lugia
Lugia brawl.jpg

19.5 to 16
Ho-oh Brawl.jpg
The legendary residents of the Tin Tower and the Brass Tower do battle. Both are amongst the rarest and most damaging Pokémon in Melee and Brawl, attacking from the background to devastating effect. Will the aurum or the argentum triumph?

Votes for Lugia

  1. Multi-hit OHKOs? Yes, please. --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 22:40, 27 January 2012 (EST)
  2. Ho-oh is laaaaaame. DoctorPain99 {ROLLBACKER} 22:41, 27 January 2012 (EST)
  3. Never played Pokemon, but I've taken a liking to Lugia. +, love Aeroblast. MeleeMarth01MM01Sig.pngMinna, miteite edit! 23:35, 27 January 2012 (EST)
  4. I like Ho-oh more in the Pokemon games, but in Smash, Melee Lugia was one of two pokemon in the history of Smash that can KO the same opponent twice. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 02:03, 28 January 2012 (EST)
  5. To me, Lugia is more useful than Ho-oh. Unknown the Hedgehog 03:10, 28 January 2012 (EST)
  6. Lugia's attack in Melee is amazing 117.254.217.242 06:33, 28 January 2012 (EST)
  7. It might be just me but I don't have much trouble avoiding Ho-oh.184.7.172.164 07:46, 28 January 2012 (EST)
  8. I like Lugia better than Ho-oh. Dragonmience (talk) 08:07, 28 January 2012 (EST)
  9. If someone makes contact with Lugia, it inflicts 30% and KO's folks quite early. It sure does hurt, I tell you what. 107.7.54.122 13:56, 28 January 2012 (EST)
  10. Sorry Ho-oh, but your below Lugia on my list by one. Besides, Lugia can OHKO with Aero Blast. ..... The Overmind 18:19, 28 January 2012 (EST)
  11. I have SoulSilver. 68.174.11.29 19:45, 28 January 2012 (EST)
  12. I may have Heartgold but Silver was my first ever Pokemon game, so Lugia gets my vote. 110.174.90.69 22:41, 28 January 2012 (EST)
  13. My love of Dragons brought me here.Drakon64 CharizardHeadSSBB.png 12:54, 29 January 2012 (EST)
  14. I've got HeartGold - but Lugia's so much more beast in that one. It's Level 70! Also, Ho-Oh is easier to avoid. :D Kenniky (talk) 17:41, 31 January 2012 (EST)
  15. I had Pokemon Silver back in the day, so I gotta go with this guy. 140.182.164.143 10:47, 1 February 2012 (EST)
  16. After seeing Ho-Oh's vote #12... pity vote to Lugia. --Havoc48 >:D!!! 20:39, 1 February 2012 (EST)
  17. Your heart can be gold, but it doesn't matter when your soul is silver. 108.194.146.241 20:45, 1 February 2012 (EST)
  18. I've loved Lugia since the beginning. Chose Silver and SoulSilver. Still have a Lugia figure on the shelf. Favorite Johto Pokémon. GormanLuigi Circus Leader's Mask.png 17:11, 2 February 2012 (EST)

  2. Ho-Oh Ho! Merry Christmas! PokemonUltimate is being uncreative. 00:25, 28 January 2012 (EST)
  3. My main legendary ^^--Fireemblemlogo.pngFan275 00:28, 28 January 2012 (EST)
  4. Within Johto, I don't have much of a preference, but I think Ho-Oh is far more useful in Smash. Miles (talk) 03:08, 28 January 2012 (EST)
  5. Sacred Fire is just one of the coolest looking attacks. The Solar Dragon 04:57, 28 January 2012 (EST)

  8. Ho oh shoots fire from below to above the stage! 72.136.208.84 11:36, 28 January 2012 (EST)
  9. He is essentially, the Pokemon sun god. SACRED FIRE!!!174.20.250.217 18:16, 28 January 2012 (EST)
  10. I played Gold as a kid, or else I'd be calling myself "James Soul." 123JamesHeart PatheticStickFigure.jpg 19:24, 28 January 2012 (EST)
  11. BlindColours Boing.png 19:03, 31 January 2012 (EST)
  12. Although I'm quite familiar with Lugia (mainly via Pokemon The Movie 2000: The Power of One and a few TV series' anime episodes), I'm voting for Ho-Oh. Aside from being a freaking awesome rainbow phoenix/firebird Pokémon heralded for being the guardian of the sun, its signature move, the attack Sacred Fire, is one of the most glorious sights to behold in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, despite the 7-second delay from Ho-Oh's release from a Poké Ball. Furthermore, I haven't played through the Johto-based games yet (due to not having access to a Nintendo DS Lite at the moment), so when the time came to pick between the remakes (Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions), I sided with Ho-Oh and HeartGold Version. It just seems more Johto-ish, and is more affiliated with Johto's resident trio (the legendary DOGS - yeah, I said it), as opposed to Lugia who relates more with Kanto[='s=] legendary bird Pokémon trio. Finally, Ho-Oh managed to preview the Johto-based Pokémon games/anime seasons when they hardly even existed during the Pokémon anime's first episode. All this and more make Ho-Oh the bird to beat. Totally sucks how Ho-Oh's roost got renamed from Tin Tower to "Bell" Tower, though...72.3.33.34 20:19, 1 February 2012 (EST)
  13. Always liked fire more then water.Yoshirocks341 YoshiHeadSSBB.png 21:08, 1 February 2012 (EST)
  14. Used to have Gold as a kid - Even if I did have to keep the game in the GBC to make sure the file didn't corrupt... just like ToastUltimatum's shiny DelibirdSonicsidekick95 SonicHeadSSBB.png 09:49, 2 February 2012 (EST)
  15. My favorite legendary. 199.185.67.18 11:09, 2 February 2012 (EST)
  16. The fire attacks in the Smash Bros. Series cannot be beat. Lugia's screech attakcs, can give damage, but can be avoided easier. LightningBlue: Electric!LuigiHeadSSBB.png 23:03, 2 February 2012 (EST)

Hey, a suggestion of mine's up! First ever suggestion, too; yay! MeleeMarth01MM01Sig.pngMinna, miteite edit! 23:36, 27 January 2012 (EST)

Ho-oh vote #2 was a funny one. ..... The Overmind 19:58, 28 January 2012 (EST)

All my friends call Ho-oh TEH KRAY-Z FYAH CHIKIN!!!1!!eleven!! Who knows? Maybe it'll become a meme someday :P PokémonUltimate PokUltSigPic.JPG 16:03, 30 January 2012 (EST)

Ho-Oh Votes #2 and #6 were hilarious (although the Pokédex classifies Ho-oh as a red Pokémon, it does have the color green featured in its wings!). I'm surprised that I'm just now learning about Lugia's Aeroblast's one-hit knockout (OHKO) properties... Um, Lugia Vote #13...Lugia isn't a Dragon-type..though I'll agree that it does seem dragon-like. And finally, I'm glad that both of these awesome Pokémon actually do something to the opponent(s) in Brawl, unlike several other Pokémon who either have limited ranges, not-very-helpful effects, and/or require you to "maneuver" your opponent(s) in said Pokémon's attack vicinity...72.3.33.34 20:19, 1 February 2012 (EST)

I think more people play these two games than FireRed/LeafGreen. Wow. This match-up is very well done and should be repeated with Dialga vs. Palkia LightningBlue: Electric!LuigiHeadSSBB.png 23:05, 2 February 2012 (EST)
