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. Long explanations for your vote are discouraged, as they are unnecessary (a vote is worth the same regardless of its reasoning), and they inflate the size of an already large page.
  2. You can vote only 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 follow this rule; 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 vote only 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 take effect only 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 such as "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 large 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. Your vote will also be considered a half-vote if your edit causes someone else's valid vote to break one of these rules. Attempting to move your vote out of the Half-Votes section may result in it being worth zero at an operator's discretion.

Multiple votes are not allowed; attempts to circumvent this with sockpuppets will result in your vote being discounted entirely, and is a blockable offense. Probated users who attempt to circumvent their probation with sockpuppets are also committing a blockable offense and will have their vote discounted. Remember that admins have access to CheckUser to check the IPs of any user, and will use it when sockpuppetry is suspected.

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.

Above all, remember that voting in the Smash Arena is a privilege, not a right. In the vein of what SmashWiki is not, you are expected to at least attempt reasonable contributions to the wiki if you wish to retain your privilege to participate.

The Triforcic Three unite once again for a battle. Will, power, wisdom, or courage win this day?

Votes for Link

  1. Link is the only one of the three to ever obtain the full triforce. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 12:24, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  2. What if all the grunts and screams Link makes are actually him speaking in Hylian? ChuckNorris24.png 12:31, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  3. OoT Link is probably my second favorite speedrunning character behind SM64 Mario. Dots MewtwoMS.png The Ocarina of Time 12:37, 3 August 2013 (EDT)

  5. Who doesn't like Link? He's like, the god of them all. :P -- Conny Airconny Snake Sig.png 13:13, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  6. Ganny D is pretty cool, but Link is literally the essence of an hero! Washi (talk) 13:36, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  7. Link is AWESOME. Ganondorf/Ganon is UGLY. And Zelda sucks in SSBB, IMO. You can see on my userpage. --LavaKirby 17:06, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  8. He`s the hero of hyrule. They`d never survive without him. Besides, I suck with zelda and Ganondorf.TheAtomicFire BluePichu.png 09:14, 4 August 2013 (EDT)

  11. He is the manliest man alive Boo BuddyHaunter MS.png 14:22, 4 August 2013 (EDT)
  12. The main character of the Zelda series, and the best character of the Zelda series. Can't compete with that.-Kaizer24.185.135.102 23:34, 4 August 2013 (EDT)
  13. Link would destroy the other two!24.185.135.102 10:46, 5 August 2013

  16. Zelda gets kidnapped by Ganondorf, and Link saves Zelda and owns Ganondorf. Do I need to say anything moreCobravictim (talk)

  1. Link > Ganondorf > Zelda. 'nuff said. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.22.66.166 (talk • contribs) 22:23, August 5 2013 (EDT)

Votes for Zelda

  1. While I usually go with an incarnate of Link for Smash, Zelda's my favorite of the three in her games. JamesJH-Heartless.pngHeart 14:22, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  2. Tough, because a Link is my Brawl main, Zelda is my favourite character of the three (especially her Skyward Sword form), and Ganondorf is one fo the most fun characters in Brawl, if not the most fun. I'll go for Zelda, because the wrong Link is fighting, and evil is bad. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 14:58, 3 August 2013 (EDT)

Votes for Ganondorf

  1. Melee Ganondorf is pretty good. Scr7Wolfsig.png 12:23, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  2. All aboard the Ganon bandwagon! Terrible is Terrible 12:24, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  3. Move over, Bowser! A greater powerhouse is taking over! 67.166.229.4 13:10, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  4. I would pick Link but he's 0/4 in fighting games, always gets beat by his clones and is generally less fun to play as than Ganondorf who has always been one of my favorites. DoctorPain99 13:27, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  5. What Scr7 said. Chuck the Duck (talk) 18:18, 3 August 2013 (EDT)
  6. My favorite overall Smash character, and Zelda character, plain and simple. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 03:38, 5 August 2013 (EDT)
  7. Nothing can top the Ganon PunchTM. --HavocReaper48 00:54, 6 August 2013 (EDT)
  8. He's the power.....He's the evil....and for some reason, he turns into a dragon-pig kaiju with dual swords at the end.MegiBeelzebub MegiBeelzebub.png 15:45, 6 August 2013 (EDT)
  9. He was better in Melee than Link and Zelda have been in the entire series. Also ridiculously fun to play in both games, even though he's the worst in Brawl. --Timson622222 (talk) 21:23, 8 August 2013 (EDT)

Round 197: Yoshi's Story vs. Fountain of Dreams

Yoshi'sStory.PNG
 Winner!!
Fountain of Dreams

10.5 to 15.5
Fountainofdreams.jpg
Two neutral stages, both modelled after the standard triangular platform layout, but with differences - one has sloped ground, small playspace, and good ol' Randall, while the other has platforms of changing heights that sometimes completely submerge into the reflective pool of dreams. Which big-eater's home stage comes through?

Votes for Yoshi's Story

  1. Much happier looking, a little bigger, and of course... Randall! Washi (talk) 23:49, 26 July 2013 (EDT)
  2. A bit larger, and a background reminiscent of a game I played at my friend's house, I hate Pak E. Derm, but this stage is fun. DarkFox 01DF01Sig.pngThe Active 23:53, 26 July 2013 (EDT)
  3. For whatever so reason, I like seeing Melee competitive matches on this stage and it seems to be a common pick too. Dots MewtwoMS.png The Pokémon 00:16, 27 July 2013 (EDT)
  4. Randall the Cloud FTW. [1] Scr7Wolfsig.png 04:17, 27 July 2013 (EDT)
  5. Boo Buddy (talk) 16:26, 27 July 2013 (EDT)
  6. 198.53.20.219 20:59, 27 July 2013 (EDT)
  7. Because Yoshi is awesome. And Randall is too. BunnyHoodYoshi9001 Talk to me 09:45, 28 July 2013 (EDT)
  8. Because you unlock Marth in the other one. --69.244.174.29 17:08, 28 July 2013 (EDT)
  9. I just watched Monsters University. There is a cloud named Randall in this stage and there is a monster named Randall in the film. ChuckNorris24.png 11:50, 29 July 2013 (EDT)
  10. Yoshi is awesome! The Awesome Awesomesig.png 21:48, 1 August 2013 (EDT)

Votes for Fountain of Dreams

  1. I don't feel either layout to be very different, but I like the Kirby franchise more than the Yoshi's Island series, so I pick this. 71.105.121.171 23:54, 26 July 2013 (EDT)
  2. The orchestrated music for this stage is beyond comprehension. -- Conny Airconny Snake Sig.png 00:12, 27 July 2013 (EDT)
  3. Because it's where you unlock Marth. DoctorPain99 01:15, 27 July 2013 (EDT)
  4. Dat music. Terrible is Terrible 11:15, 27 July 2013 (EDT)
  5. The starry sky background speaks to me: Melee's best played at night! 67.166.229.4 13:08, 27 July 2013 (EDT)
  6. Cause you unlock Marth here. Plus it's Kirby! 67.166.229.4 13:58, 27 July 2013107.211.34.20 13:59, 27 July 2013 (EDT)
  7. I like it`s appearance more. It has a starry night sky and awesome music.TheAtomicFire PichuHeadSSBM.png 14:35, 28 July 2013 (EDT)
  8. I love this stage --Dinoboy411 (talk) 20:32, 28 July 2013 (EDT)
  9. Awesome look, awesome music... do I need to say more?Tepig (talk) 15:46, 29 July 2013 (EDT)
  10. Both stages have the same layout, but the fountain of dreams looks cooler! Multus Valde (talk) 16:02, 29 July 2013 (EDT)MultusValde
  11. YS is the worst of the BF clones, and is completely dull aesthetic and music wise (whereas FoD excels at aesthetics and music). Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 17:07, 29 July 2013 (EDT)
  12. It has an better look: The sky looks better, and the fountains.. it's all so HDish. Cobravictim (talk) 10:49, 31 July 2013 (EDT)
  13. Awesome music, nice look, from Kirby. :) --LavaKirby 19:27, 1 August 2013 (EDT) 21:04, 31 July 2013 (EDT)
  14. This stage is far more unique and kaleidoscopic than Yoshi Island. I mean, LOOK at those beautiful, iridescent colours! Not to mention it's probably the best professional stage to fight next to Battlefield and Final Destination. MegiBeelzebub MegiBeelzebub.png 13:14, 1 August 2013 (EDT)
  15. As long as I'm not fighting Peach on here, I like the stage. LightningBlue405MS.png 21:38, 1 August 2013 (EDT)

  1. The music is memorable plus you unlock Marth in this stage (He's the best!) —Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎SkullKid777 (talk • contribs) 22:22, 30 July 2013
