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", or the combatant with the most fans - 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! Though new requests for fights can no longer be made, voting on already existing requests can be done 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. If you put your vote in the half-votes section without stating reasons why you want it there, it is worth zero and may be deleted by any user. You may replace it later should you do it correctly.

  10. Tingle forces his brother and his friend to work non stop turning the wheel on his stupid little island, steals a camera and is probeley a mass murderer. Waluigi on the other hand is an amazing dancer.94.6.198.21 04:49, 11 August 2012 (EDT)

  26. Not only do way more people know Waluigi then Tingle, but he actually assists you. He kicks fighters into the ground. Tingle puts flowers or balloons in the air. I really hope Waluigi's playable in SSB4 and he gets his own game soon. Trust me, I'd like the franchise way more if it were WaluigiWare. user:supersmash4 13:36, 15 August 2012 (EDT)

  11. Better item placement (in my opinion), no huge breakable walls, and no U-smash kill zone. Thank you very much! DarkFox01: Smashing in Summer 15:43, 11 August 2012 (EDT)
  12. You can actually KO people on this stage. ChuckNorris24.png 10:12, 12 August 2012 (EDT)

  17. This section is my favorate. Marioisawesome118 Marioisawesome118.png 14:05, 15 August 2012 (EDT)
  18. Even if you've never played a Mario platform game, this stage is way more understandable than 1-2. User:supersmash4 13:43, 15 August 2012 (EDT)

  1. Oh come on, you dont like the Underground Theme for Super Mario Land??? Come on that's awesome! LightningBlue405MS.png 01:04, 11 August 2012 (EDT)
  2. Better music. JamesHeartless 01:26, 11 August 2012 (EDT)
  3. Don't see why it's good to, but whenever I play on this stage, there are so many blocks then when I set off a bunch of smart bombs (They are the only items I use that can have lots of them onscreen at once) it lags so much that it is funny. Plus Super Mario Land underground and Super Mario Bros. Underwater themes FOR THE WIN! Davsto (talk) 03:23, 11 August 2012 (EDT)
  4. These both suck but the picture above has ike, bowser and mario in it where as the other one only has mario in it.94.6.198.21 04:47, 11 August 2012 (EDT)

Of course not, Air Conditioner. SMB underground theme is far superior. I hate the SML underground theme. I have haunting memories of that tune trying to unlock Wolf in the SSE. Krazy4Krash (talk) 19:45, 11 August 2012 (EDT)

Dang, I was gonna suggest this until I found out that suggestions were disabled. Well, time to remove it from my list of SmashArena Suggestions. F1reBurn1ng (talk) 17:47, 12 August 2012 (EDT)

KrazyKrash: seriously why did you try to unlock him in SSE? Just do it the hard way like everyone else done. It shouldn't have been that hard.  :/ LightningBlue405MS.png 23:01, 12 August 2012 (EDT)
Because I wanted to 100% the SSE. Why else? Besides, it wasn't hard at all. I'm just fooling around. I just don't like the theme, that's all. Krazy4Krash (talk) 02:45, 13 August 2012 (EDT)

  7. From a brawl viewpoint dialga is the least annoying legendary on this stage. From a pokemon viewpoint it looks cool.94.6.198.21 04:45, 11 August 2012 (EDT)
  8. Looks the coolest. Krazy4Krash (talk) 08:26, 11 August 2012 (EDT)

Hey Toast, what exactly do you mean by Palkia's Gen IV back sprite being "very unfortunate"? Bowzerdude- Pure Epicness! 13:55, 15 August 2012 (EDT)

Smashman4, Cressielia is female in every circumstance. ShupaRoehTypicalGuy.png 22:38, 16 August 2012 (EDT)

Anybody else get the feeling that Cresselia would be more suited had it been Giratina? 75.159.41.249 19:22, 17 August 2012 (EDT)

Provided Giratina is in the same trio as Dialga and Palkia, you have a point. However, Giratina has not appeared in a Smash game, so he isn't included. ShupaRoehTypicalGuy.png 19:57, 17 August 2012 (EDT)

Two friction-defying techniques that define their respective metagames. Which sliding superpower overcomes the other?

Votes for Wavedash

  1. First, it's in Melee, a better game then Brawl (sorry Brawl fans). Second, you can wavedash yourself out of the stage to edge guard. That's pretty cool. Lastly, everybody has an advantage with it... no matter what. Fugudev 23:59, 10 August 2012 (EDT)
  2. It looks more technical--Bandit 00:37, 11 August 2012 (EDT)

  4. Looks more impressive and requires more technical skill. Naked Snake 200px-Naked Snake.jpg 01:00, 11 August 2012 (EDT)
  5. Uh... I'm going to say wavedash because it has a cooler name :D Air Conditioner File:Accoolx.png 09:28, 11 August 2012 (EDT)
  6. Whee...FishPlay Spiked Pichu.png 15:38, 11 August 2012 (EDT)
  7. Wavedashing was a bread and butter technique for all players and all mains. Having infinitely more uses and versatility, it could do more than simply extend the hitbox of a smash attack. Wavedashing serves as form of safe approaching/retreating, a way to extend combos, and a safe Out of Shield option to escape pressure. You can both attack and powershield out of a wavedash, and use it as a way to provide synergy with ground movement and aerial attacks. Also nothing can match the advantage of moving backward while facing forward, which the DACUS does not provide.--BrianDon't try me!Falco.gif 15:08, 13 August 2012 (EDT)

  1. Useful in all three games, as opposed to one. And my top three in Brawl (Fox, Marth, and Falcon) all have a good DACUS. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DarkFox01 (talk • contribs) 12:43, August 11, 2012

@Darkfox: The DACUS is a brawl exclusive technique. You cannot use it in melee or ssb64 because the physics in both games don't allow the dash attack to be canceled. A moving up smash in melee is known a wavesmash (wavedash -> up smash) and a moving up smash in ssb64 is called a teleport up smash. Also of all the brawl mains you mentioned, only Fox has a sliding DACUS. I have tested this and both Falcon and Marth move no distance when I input their up smashes as DACUSes.--BrianDon't try me!Falco.gif 14:58, 13 August 2012 (EDT)

Fox does not have a sliding DACUS, last I checked. For Falcon and Marth, I believe the user was confusing DACUS with a slide smash, and both Falcon and Marth have fairly far sliding slide smashes. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 21:18, 15 August 2012 (EDT)
If you read the actual updated page, Fox does indeed have a sliding DACUS. I tested this and added that info. And even if Darkfox was confusing slide smashing and the DACUS, running up smashes don't exist in melee or ssb64 either.--BrianDon't try me!Falco.gif 14:29, 16 August 2012 (EDT)
