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.

Round 152: Yoshi's Story vs. Yoshi's Island (SSBB)

Yoshi'sStory.PNG
 Winner!!
undecided

~ to ~

The fatnose has quite a few similar stages attached to his world, and here's a pair of them vying for attention. Both platformed, both with rescue service, both with unique visual styling - which popular tournament stage gets the nod?

Votes for Yoshi's Story

  1. This stage is a classic. I have a Yoshi toy from McDonalds that plays part of the song heard on this stage. ChuckNorris24.png 12:14, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  2. Pity vote. RickTommy (talk) 22:11, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  3. This stage is a starter in Melee, and I use it often unlike the Brawl version. Also, it's a great stage for Marth. Naked Snake 200px-Naked Snake.jpg 13:28, 26 August 2012 (EDT)
  4. Here's a story about Yoshi. One day, Yoshi was strolling through a subway, until a train came by. Yoshi got on the train, and saw a Hondourian Bat. Yoshi ate the Hondourian Bat. It was delicious. When the train stopped, Yoshi got out, and when he left the subway, he found himself on The Bahamas. Yoshi ordered a sunbed online, and when it came, he basked in the sunlight. Yoshi laid there until he fell asleep, thus ending his story. When he next woke up, he saw a Flying Shy Guy holding a Red Coin, but that, my friends, is a story for another day.

Half-votes

  1. I thought Yoshi's Island was based off Yoshi's Island DS, apparently it's based off the first one, you know, the lamer one, the one with only one baby. If you don't see what I'm talking about, imagine a Pikmin game where it's just red Pikmin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Supersmash4 (talk • contribs) {{{2}}}
  2. I like this stage better since it's from Melee. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.68.41.29 (talk • contribs) {{{2}}}

Votes for Yoshi's Island (SSBB)

  1. This one is based off the snes game. 204.191.136.245 23:11, 24 August 2012 (EDT)
  2. Brawl. Krazy4Krash (talk) 00:02, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  3. It changes seasons, and to me, that alone better represents the game it was based on than the Yoshi's Story stage does. Toadat9021doh (talk) 00:23, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  4. I prefer the art style of this one. 110.174.90.69 04:42, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  5. I played Yoshi's Island first, giving it more nostalgia factor than Yoshi's Story, despite them being equally great games IMO. Bowzerdude- Pure Epicness! 06:42, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  6. I have Brawl. Not Melee. Air Conditioner File:Accoolx.png 08:55, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  7. As per above, plus shutouts are awesome. 24.168.107.148 10:00, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  8. I like this stage!! This stage reminds me of the game I have: Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island!! I also like the songs!! The Awesome 12:39, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  9. FishPlay Spiked Pichu.png 14:55, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  10. Hmmmm....BRAWL! DarkFox01: Smashing in Summer 15:11, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  11. It's from Brawl. DragonMistress (talk) 15:14, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  12. I like this stage more. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 15:19, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  13. This is one of my favorite stages in Brawl. Smash Master 17:22, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  14. I think it just overall looks better. That, and it's a great stage in Brawl. 98.111.235.82 17:47, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  15. Win.The Cheese The Cheese.png 19:13, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  16. based off a more classic game. Also in brawl, best game to me. ShupaRoehTypicalGuy.png 20:09, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  17. TommyNook (talk) 21:50, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  18. I just like the time changes. 71.199.149.250 22:46, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  19. Dots Ready for School NintenNESsprite.png 22:47, 25 August 2012 (EDT)
  20. I like the stage better not just making a dumb reasoning of "I don't have the other game so this one is better". LightningBlue405MS.png 19:35, 26 August 2012 (EDT)

Comments

@ChuckNorris oh yeah I remember that. LightningBlue405MS.png 14:08, 25 August 2012 (EDT)

@LightningBlue: I take offense to that. The rules do say that you don't need a valid reason to vote. Air Conditioner File:Accoolx.png 20:27, 26 August 2012 (EDT)

Exactly. This is a popularity contest and nothing more. Krazy4Krash (talk) 01:53, 27 August 2012 (EDT)

 Winner!!
Snake

14 to 18

Two body-suited mercenaries with access to artillery are up in this next bout. Which stealthy shooter trumps the other?

Votes for Zero Suit Samus

  1. Starts out with free items. Enough said. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 11:33, 18 August 2012 (EDT)
  2. --TommyNook (talk) 12:34, 18 August 2012 (EDT)
  3. 204.191.141.32 13:35, 18 August 2012 (EDT)
  4. Snake, why are you even in Brawl? Slither off to PSASBR instead. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 14:55, 18 August 2012 (EDT)
  5. Snake is way overrated. Toadat9021doh (talk) 20:32, 18 August 2012 (EDT)
  6. I don't really like Snake, Samus I'm neutral on. 69.112.244.140 21:43, 18 August 2012 (EDT)dragon
  7. She has great, erm, speed and weapons.Davsto (talk) 08:00, 19 August 2012 (EDT)
  8. ZSS was the first character I ever beat in Brawl, +10 memory points to ZSS and I hate using Snake. -5 slowness points to Snake. 10 to negative 5, barely a contest.--99.249.196.42 10:59, 19 August 2012 (EDT)
  9. Zero suit samus can jump behind snake at anytime to attack from well behind plus her speed is a huge advantage. PengyPenguin (talk) 19:32, 19 August 2012 (EDT)
  10. She should be her own separate character and not the result of Samus's final smash. ChuckNorris24.png 11:49, 20 August 2012 (EDT)
  11. Three reasons I vote for her: A. Free items at the start of a match! B. Faster and more agile. And C. She's 10th on my list of my Brawl top ten. Snake isn't even on there. DarkFox01: Smashing in Summer 13:10, 20 August 2012 (EDT)
  12. Not as cheap. 67.173.145.76 21:49, 23 August 2012 (EDT)
  13. Z.S.S. was the first character I used when I started playing Brawl. Always begins a match with power suit parts at my disposal and can score KO's decently. Snake's alright, but his smashes and aerials are a chore to use correctly. 71.199.149.250 23:36, 23 August 2012 (EDT)
  14. Ero suit! LightningBlue405MS.png 18:48, 24 August 2012 (EDT)

Votes for Snake

  1. Higher tier.ShanicpowerShanicpower.png Make it rain! 11:40, 18 August 2012 (EDT)
  2. Forward smash. That is all. --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 11:43, 18 August 2012 (EDT)
  3. Samus without armor just looks gross. I hope she's not in the next game. Supersmash4 (talk) 11:48, 18 August 2012 (EDT)
  4. Tiers exist. Also, cooler. ShupaRoehTypicalGuy.png 11:49, 18 August 2012 (EDT)
  5. Solid Snake has more weapons and you can do a smash taunt!!! The Awesome 11:53, 18 August 2012 (EDT)
  6. ZSS sucks--Bandit 12:00, 18 August 2012 (EDT)
  7. Zero Suit Samus should be her own character and not part of a Final Smash; I hate passing up Smash Balls when playing as Samus. JamesHeartless 12:12, 18 August 2012 (EDT)
  8. If I vote for ZSS, people might get... the *ahem* wrong impression of me... Air Conditioner File:Accoolx.png 13:16, 18 August 2012 (EDT)
  9. I enjoy playing as Snake. Also, his DACUS is great. Shanderu MiniGhost.png 14:22, 18 August 2012 (EDT)
  10. Really like both characters, but Snake has the Smash Taunt. Krazy4Krash (talk) 22:58, 18 August 2012 (EDT)
  11. I really like both, but I'm better as Snake. 110.174.90.69 02:48, 19 August 2012 (EDT)
  12. FishPlay Spiked Pichu.png 20:25, 19 August 2012 (EDT)
  13. Metal Gear is one of the best series of all time. Naked Snake 200px-Naked Snake.jpg 01:26, 20 August 2012 (EDT)
  14. Pure masculinity. Bowzerdude- Pure Epicness! 11:13, 20 August 2012 (EDT)
  15. The Cheese The Cheese.png 11:17, 20 August 2012 (EDT)
  16. Powerful, manly, and he has a box.--PSIWolf sig 3.png PSIWolf (T • C • E) 11:20, 20 August 2012 (EDT)
  17. Up tilt, forward tilt, and forward smash! That's all. Smash Master 16:05, 21 August 2012 (EDT)
  18. It's close, so I'll help my pal out. DoctorPain99 {ROLLBACKER} 18:50, 24 August 2012 (EDT)

Comments

I think the vote sections are showing the wrong names...ShanicpowerShanicpower.png Make it rain! 11:42, 18 August 2012 (EDT)

  • Just a note to one of the Snake votes: ZSS is playable without using a final smash, but you have to hold down the Z button while selecting Samus. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 12:24, 18 August 2012 (EDT)
One of the votes for Samus has this misconception too. Naked Snake 200px-Naked Snake.jpg 12:46, 20 August 2012 (EDT)

If I remember correctly, this was my suggestion, right? Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 14:42, 18 August 2012 (EDT)

Just checked, it was not. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 14:43, 18 August 2012 (EDT)
How do you check that? 194.17.116.198 03:06, 22 August 2012 (EDT)
I quickly scanned the history of the suggestions page and I found when the matchup was recently suggested. I was one of its earliest supporters, but I did not propose it. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 23:54, 23 August 2012 (EDT)
@Anon on what controller are you talking about? On the GC controller it is R not Z. LightningBlue405MS.png 18:51, 24 August 2012 (EDT)
