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 130: Lottery vs. Coin Launcher

Lottery (SSBM).jpg
 Winner!!
undecided

0 to 0
Coin launcher.jpg
The two trophy-collection methods go head-to-head. Is calm randomness or active shooting the better one?

Votes for Lottery

  1. "Got it!" I'm a Melee guy, + it's easier to get a trophy w/lottery. Insert coins, please. MeleeMarth01MM01Sig.png 18:34, 16 March 2012 (EDT)
  2. >Sees a large barrage of missiles< Aww, what's the point. >quits< Yeah, coins were harder to get in Melee, but when you did get them, it's nice to sit back and receive the benefits. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 18:49, 16 March 2012 (EDT)
  3. Don't have to play a shooter minigame to get a trophy, you just put in some coins and you get a trophy. 204.191.132.187 20:10, 16 March 2012 (EDT)
  4. The Lottery is way better; you have a much higher chance of getting a trophy that you don't have. The Coin Shooter, on the other hand; you are likely to waste all your coins before you finally see a trophy/sticker that you don't have. RickTommy (talk) 23:35, 16 March 2012 (EDT)
  5. 24.123.73.90 23:50, 16 March 2012 (EDT)
  6. I would have chosen the coin launcher, if not for the fact it doesn't have any new trophy/sticker guarantee, while the lottery does. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 04:08, 17 March 2012 (EDT)
  7. I do like coin laucher but it gets too stressful and anoying, especially with the invincible barriers. As Omega Tryant said, the lottery guarantees a new trophy (for the most part). LightningBlue: Music is Power 13:06, 17 March 2012 (EDT)
  8. Don't feel like playing a minigame for the collectables. 199.185.67.18 11:05, 19 March 2012 (EDT)
  9. I guess I like to vote for the underdog. But in all honesty, I like this one better. 140.182.165.8 11:02, 21 March 2012 (EDT)
  10. Ill vote for this one becuase there is no holes where youre coins are dropped into and are wasted.--Arcwarioman (talk) 15:53, 22 March 2012 (EDT)

Votes for Coin Launcher

  1. I'm a sucker for shmup games of any type. --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 18:57, 16 March 2012 (EDT)
  2. I'm kind of neutral, but I'll vote this one because it's more engaging. 123JamesHeart PatheticStickFigure.jpg 19:20, 16 March 2012 (EDT)
  3. OMG gunna randomly shoot flying ayroplayns! and get cool trofees!99.235.62.184 19:25, 16 March 2012 (EDT)
  4. "coin launchers is fun especially wend you have a lot of coins to spent. but coin slot can only spent 20 coin which is bad if a lot of coins."Smash X 5432 (talk) 20:16, 16 March 2012 (EDT)
  5. You could get both trophies and stickers from this, and it was kind of fun so I vote this. 110.174.90.69 20:51, 16 March 2012 (EDT)
  6. An easier way to get Trophies and stickers. ..... The Hydralisk NintenNESsprite.png 20:53, 16 March 2012 (EDT)
  7. I gotta come up with more original reasons for voting the way I do. The old "I played Brawl, not Melee" standby is starting to get stale. 68.174.13.31 20:59, 16 March 2012 (EDT)
  8. Lottery is boring. 75.163.139.108 23:15, 16 March 2012 (EDT)
  9. Coin Launcher is harder, but lasts longer. It was way too easy to get all the lottery trophies in Melee. --Fireemblemlogo.pngFan275 00:11, 17 March 2012 (EDT)
  10. I've spent much more time on Coin Launcher in 1 day than I did in years on Lottery. Smash Master 00:16, 17 March 2012 (EDT)
  11. Coin Launcher is an actual game. AccoolX File:Accoolx.png 09:17, 17 March 2012 (EDT)
  12. I'm voting for the fun little minigame. That and I never played Melee. (I do hope to someday, though.)174.20.246.52 09:38, 17 March 2012 (EDT)
  13. ..though pretty random, it has a certain amount of strategy to it.. plus I like being able to choose whether I want stickers or trophies.71.48.127.61 20:42, 17 March 2012 (EDT)
  14. Better way for me to waste my over 9000 coins on. Even if you don't have a 100% chance of getting new trophies and stuff, you still can, and it's a more fun way of doing so.Vincent Transcendant Kirby-1.png 16:34, 19 March 2012 (EDT)
  15. This is more fun than the lottery, especially if I have 9999 coins. Floor2000x (talk) 19:06, 22 March 2012 (EDT)
  16. Much more interactive/engaging than the Lottery, and a good way to use up Coins accumulated from other game modes. It's also a great way to use up time (moreso than the Lottery, which was OK in its own right). The downside is that it can sometimes be difficult to acquire new Trophies and Stickers as collectibles... 72.3.33.16 13:40, 23 March 2012 (EDT)
  17. I don't know how good the slots are, for I don't have melee, but I know that the coin launcher is awesome. MILK! (talk) 17:16, 23 March 2012 (EDT) 3:15PM central america, March 23, 2012

  1. I've never played Melee that much, so I never experienced Lottery, so there would be no choice in choosing. Also, it makes getting collectibles less aggravating.King KirbyD (talk) 20:58, 21 March 2012 (EDT)KirbyHeadSSB.png

Comments

@Accoolx: Read rule 12, and edit your vote. Your vote/comment is not to be argument provoking. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 10:58, 17 March 2012 (EDT)

Fixed it. Sorry. AccoolX File:Accoolx.png 11:15, 17 March 2012 (EDT)

Round 129: King of the Mountain vs. Super Bowser Bros.

File:E11m-KotM.jpg
 Winner!!
Super Bowser Bros.
E06-superbowserbros.png

3.5 to 18.5
E06-superbowserbros.png
Two events involving survival on a scrolling stage against a bunch of natives. Will the vertical or horizontal move into the top spot?

Votes for King of the Mountain

  1. Nothing like chilling in the precipice, the Ace Glacier, that is Icicle Mountain. Some people gave it a frosty reception, others just gave it the cold shoulder, but I think it's cool. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 13:16, 10 March 2012 (EST)
  2. Just because of the vote above me. 67.173.145.76 14:19, 10 March 2012 (EST)
  3. Playing Melee now, this was a bit more interesting. Takava (talk) 19:56, 14 March 2012 (EDT)

Half votes

  • 1: you need less time to finish.
  • 2: You get to CHOOSE your character, as opposed to being Bowser (one of my worst...)
  • 3: Ice > Bricks & sand.
  • 4: This side needs some slack, as for now it is 3-15.
  • 5: Vote #1.
  1. King of the Mountain for the win. (Though it will lose...) Meta Ike MetaIke.png 22:20, 12 March 2012 (EDT)

Votes for Super Bowser Bros.

  1. Man, this is the weirdest competition yet. I think i'll go for Bowser Bros. since it isn't completely annoying like KotM is. --Fireemblemlogo.pngFan275 12:34, 10 March 2012 (EST)
  2. Sorry, Toast, but I'll let you know that one of my sworn enemies is puns. --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 13:23, 10 March 2012 (EST)
  3. It's SMB with a twist. And I'm a huge Mario fan. MeleeMarth01MM01Sig.png 15:30, 10 March 2012 (EST)
  4. Brawl > Melee :D AccoolX File:Accoolx.png 15:55, 10 March 2012 (EST)

  6. da da da da da da Cherrim98Cherrim Box Sprite.pngTalk 21:22, 10 March 2012 (EST)
  7. 3 Mario's and ur bowser. How much fun is that!?!?!?!?!?!?!99.235.62.184 12:34, 11 March 2012 (EDT)
  8. The pain, the annoyance. The cruel cruel irony. I think this is harder than Super Mario Bros. in itself. LightningBlue: Need to Balance 16:11, 11 March 2012 (EDT)
  9. The Thousand-Year Door. 123JamesHeart PatheticStickFigure.jpg 22:27, 11 March 2012 (EDT)
  10. Cruelly awesome. Not too hard either unless you actually do it on hard.184.7.170.45 07:32, 12 March 2012 (EDT)
  11. 199.185.67.18 11:09, 12 March 2012 (EDT)
  12. Sorry - I played Brawl, not Melee. 68.174.13.86 15:32, 12 March 2012 (EDT)
  13. I like this one better. Smash Master 15:55, 12 March 2012 (EDT)
  14. More lively than the other.173.172.245.40 17:49, 12 March 2012 (EDT)
  15. Wow...I had no memory of either of these Event Matches (and was a bit confused by the titles at first, as I'm unfamiliar with most Event Match names), but Brawl's "Super Bowser Bros." is the only one that I can confirm actually playing through in recent memory. Anyway, this one puts a nice spin on things as it pits Bowser in the "protagonist" role that he's not often seen in. 72.3.33.8 21:18, 12 March 2012 (EDT)
  16. Bowser is one of my best characters to play as, and just because I like this one. --SSBfan1239 (talk) 10:22, 13 March 2012 (EDT)
  17. Vertical movement stages remind me of Rumble Falls Floor2000x (talk) 19:31, 14 March 2012 (EDT)

Toast, that was awful. Solar Dragon (Talk • Contribs.) 05:19, 11 March 2012 (EDT)

Exactly. If you don't have a good pun, make them as bad as you possibly can. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 08:27, 11 March 2012 (EDT)
I don't think it works that way, toast. But, it does give great attention. :3 LightningBlue: Need to Balance 16:12, 11 March 2012 (EDT)

Hilarious punny vote for "King of the Mountain", ToastUltimatum. The sheer amusement stemming from it could be said to give one the chills. 72.3.33.8 21:18, 12 March 2012 (EDT)

The Cheese says: Now don't you start. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.31.5.99 (talk • contribs) 01:49, 14 March 2012

What's with all the unsigned comments? It seems like an abnormal amount... AccoolX File:Accoolx.png 19:43, 14 March 2012 (EDT)
