Forums: Index → Smash Arena → Smash Arena Suggestions

This forum has the purpose of helping to select what battles will eventually take place in the Smash Arena. If you would like to make a suggestion, please feel free to leave it here. New suggestions are placed at the bottom of the page. Be sure to state your reason you suggested it and put the support, reject, and comments sections underneath it.

Like the idea? Be sure to give it your support. Note that this page is not to be used for the actual voting between fighters; that happens in the Arena itself. Remember, the combatants don't necessarily have to be able to fight each other normally in Smash Bros.

Rules

Posting suggestions

  • Only Smash Bros.-related fights are permitted. Fights don't have to be between playable characters, but the combatants must have appeared in at least one Smash Bros. game.
  • If there are already 10 open suggestions, you should probably reconsider adding a new one. If there are 15, it is highly recommended you do not. There is no limit to the number of open suggestions, but having too many clutters the page and makes it more difficult to keep track of.
  • Check this list to view the fights that have been done. Repeat fights are permitted if they occurred 100 or more rounds ago. As matchups over 100 rounds ago are moved off that particular list, the list is the definitive source on what can't be repeated. Note that repeats close to this cutoff may still be valid if the queue is full enough that the fight's acceptance will allow it to be outside the 100-round zone.
  • Do not post more than one suggestion at a time. Each user may post one suggestion per week (i.e. one every seven days).
  • Sign your suggestions/votes/comments with ~~~~ and a # in front of it (you don't necessarily have to put # in the comments sections, but you do have to sign with ~~~~).
  • Place new suggestions at the bottom of the page.
  • You can retract and remove your own suggestion, but it still counts as your suggestion for that week.
  • Similarly to the above, you cannot edit a suggestion once people have started to vote on it. Editing the description is fine; just don't replace, add, or remove combatants.

Voting and comments

  • Don't vote for your own suggestion.
  • Post why you support/oppose. Don't just say, "Oh, this is a cool idea". Explain why you like/don't like the fight. This is not required but adds credence to your opinion - remember, suggestions are not accepted or rejected based on a simple vote count.
  • The comments section is to be used for relevant comments only.
  • Do not use this page to argue with other users over their reasons and opinions. You can civilly point out an inconsistency or mistake in their description, but if you say things like, "That's stupid", that could potentially start an argument in the comments, you are breaching this rule.
  • Do not make this page into the Smash Arena itself. This is for deciding what goes there, not voting on the winner.

Acceptance or rejection

  • The SA operator(s) has final say over all the fights. Suggestions and comments are merely a way for the community to influence the fights, and can be used, edited, or ignored at the operator(s)'s discretion.
  • Acceptance of fights is not based simply on votes. The votes are used to judge the community's opinion of the matchup; again it is solely the operator(s)'s decision on what the bouts are.
  • Suggestions are purged every time a new Smash Arena round is posted. It is at this time they are either accepted and placed into the queue, or they are rejected. Not all suggestions are purged at once - only those that are both older than the rest and have higher vote counts. Usually suggestions need at least 5 votes to be decided upon, unless they are very old.
    • In the vein of the above, do not repost a suggestion of yours that has been removed recently, since it's either already lined up or been rejected. See the Queue section for an idea of how long it may take for your suggestion to show up.
  • If a suggestion of yours has been rejected in the past, you may repost it three months (90 days) after its rejection. However, it is unlikely for a rejected suggestion to be accepted in the future, so it is likely more productive to suggest something else.
  • Descriptions are not guaranteed to be included as-is should a suggestion pass.

Tips

  • In most cases, the combatants of a match should share similarities but have key differences. However, matchups between total opposites are also interesting. Avoid the middle ground where combatants have little in common but are also not polar opposites.
  • Protagonist vs. antagonist matches (e.g. Mario vs. Bowser) are valid, and many of them succeed in the arena, but are usually pushed aside by the community in favour of matchups that are less "obvious". Matchups born from in-game events (e.g. Subspace Emissary groupings) or matchups that are big in their home universes but not necessarily in Smash Bros. (e.g. legendary Pokémon fights) tend to fall into this as well.
  • Regular matches (one-on-one) are favoured more than three-way fights. If you have an idea for a three-way fight, see if one of the three combatants is really necessary. Fights of more than three participants have to be exceptional in order to be selected, and will likely be reserved for special rounds, so don't try too hard to make one work.
  • The description can sway peoples' opinions of a matchup. While the most interesting suggestions can be accepted on their own merits, those in the middle can be made or broken by how you present them.

Queue

The current queue is as such:

257 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265

Hover the cursor over a round number to see its predicted start date. Empty spots are shown in grey.

When the queue becomes full (all the grey spots are filled up), suggestions will be suspended. You may continue to vote on current suggestions, but no more may be proposed. Once the queue drains out to a size of one, suggestions will be re-opened.

The queue is not set in stone; new suggestions may appear before older ones and it may change at any time. The queue is designed to attempt to balance out fights so that participants or universes aren't used too much in a short time.

The contents of the queue are a secret to maintain mystery and intrigue.

Suggestions

Mario Bros. Madness vs. Wario Bros.

Both events match you up against the famous Mario Bros. Is the two-minute battle or the two-stock battle against them superior?

Comments

Going even on this one. LightningBlue: Cinco de Smash 20:47, 5 June 2012 (EDT)

They are similar, true, but freely-selectable against SSE-only might result in this being one-sided. I too, am neutral. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 20:50, 5 June 2012 (EDT)

Target Smash!! vs Board the Platforms

Courses with 10 targets/platforms that you need to destroy/land on as quickly as possible. 199.185.67.18 11:07, 5 June 2012 (EDT)

Comments

Light Arrow vs Critical Hit

Both are fast, go in a straight line, can hit multiple targets, and are almost always KO's. But which one do you like more? --AquaKawwi (talk) 17:22, 5 June 2012 (EDT)

Support

  1. I think these are similar enough to justify a fight. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 20:50, 5 June 2012 (EDT)
  2. Per Toast. Avengingbandit 22:12, 5 June 2012 (EDT)
  3. Could work. I'd like to see what would happen. Also, what Toast said. AirConditioner File:Accoolx.png 12:42, 6 June 2012 (EDT)
  4. Don't listen to the oppose. I agree with Toast. ..... The Scientist NintenNESsprite.png 14:02, 6 June 2012 (EDT)
  5. I guess I don't mind this. 204.191.133.47 18:02, 6 June 2012 (EDT)
  6. They're related enough... DoctorPain99 {ROLLBACKER} 12:26, 7 June 2012 (EDT)
  7. Light Arrow vs. Critical Hit. F1reBurn1ng (talk) 14:43, 9 June 2012 (EDT)

Oppose

  1. Uh... not much of relevance to these. Since they do different things. Anyways I believe final smash ones should be relavant. Your description is a little ambiguous though. LightningBlue: Cinco de Smash 20:46, 5 June 2012 (EDT)
  2. I really don't like this one not trying to be mean but yeah Ikeroks 20:47, 5 June 2012 (EDT)
  3. Meh. ShupaRoehTypicalGuy.png 10:40, 6 June 2012 (EDT)

Master Hand vs. Giga Bowser vs. Tabuu

The three final bosses of the Smash series get together to ultimately decide which antagonist has the last word in final. 24.168.107.113 21:40, 8 June 2012 (EDT)

Support

  1. Does it really though, Avengingbandit? This could be won by any of these three, I couldn't call it, and so it makes for a good match. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png
  2. This battle could be meaningful. ShupaRoehTypicalGuy.png 09:43, 9 June 2012 (EDT)
  3. The most powerful bosses. Great idea. ..... The EarthBound NintenNESsprite.png 10:51, 9 June 2012 (EDT)
  4. Final Bosses are good. LightningBlue: Summer with Melee and Brawl 14:55, 9 June 2012 (EDT)
  5. Per Toast. 123JamesHeart PatheticStickFigure.jpg 16:33, 9 June 2012 (EDT)

Hey avenging you stole shwido's quote! Did he condone this? ShupaRoehTypicalGuy.png 09:42, 9 June 2012 (EDT)

I don't care what Dodo thinks about me stealing his quote. :| Avengingbandit 11:30, 9 June 2012 (EDT)
HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY QUOTE, AS PUNISHMENT I'LL MAKE THIS REALLY HARD TO READ--Shwido ^.^ 11:38, 9 June 2012 (EDT)
HOW DARE YOU MAKE THAT HARD TO READ, AS PUNISHMENT I'LL MAKE THIS MORE HARDER TO READ--Avengingbandit 11:41, 9 June 2012 (EDT)

Zero Suit Samus vs. Snake

We have seen Samus vs. Snake and that ended in a tie. But what if Samus took her power suit off and fought Snake? Would she win or would she give Snake an upper hand? They are both mercenaries, skilled fighters and experts in the field of battle. Who would really win? --GameWinter (talk) 16:30, 9 June 2012 (EDT)

Support

  1. It rocks--SuperGameandWatchTypicalGuy.png 16:35, 9 June 2012 (EDT)
  2. Zamus and Snake have a lot of similarities. Both crawl, neither enters helpless state, both are some of the few characters who speak full sentences. Not to mention they share all the similarities of Samus v Snake. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 18:40, 9 June 2012 (EDT)
  3. That's a pretty good idea. Wish I thought of it. --SmashMaster (talk) 21:42, 9 June 2012 (EDT)

Oppose

  1. It sucks--Avengingbandit 16:43, 9 June 2012 (EDT)
  2. Per Avengingbandit. AirConditioner File:Accoolx.png 17:18, 9 June 2012 (EDT)

ShupaRoeh: You do realize you haven't been renamed, right?--Avengingbandit 16:43, 9 June 2012 (EDT)

I know. Sometimes one wants to be imaginative. I'm an example. SuperGameandWatchTypicalGuy.png 16:45, 9 June 2012 (EDT)
