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.
      • Similarly, avoid writing votes that may invite an argument. Stating your opinion is fine, but don't make it easy for others to see it as goading.

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. Users should not fix such broken votes without making them half-votes. 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.

Winner!!
undecided

Rocketbarrel Barrage - Brawl Trophy.png
Two transformation Final Smashes which allow the user to fly through the sky and rain fire down. Which mobile mess cuts the mustard?

Votes for Super Dragon

  1. Another vote by me based solely on Super Mario World. JamesJH-Heartless.pngHeart 11:34, 7 September 2013 (EDT)

  3. Dots MewtwoMS.png The Saxaphone 11:55, 7 September 2013 (EDT)
  4. Yoshi is way better than Diddy, plus I can't really control Rocketbarrel Barrage.--LavaKirby 12:30, 7 September 2013 (EDT)
  5. It does drag on, but it still makes a soup of foes. I don't like either Final Smash much, but Super Dragon has the better trophy, and this section is green. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatum 12:41, 7 September 2013 (EDT)
  6. I find this easier to control. 75.156.151.217 20:28, 7 September 2013 (EDT)
  7. When I used to play with Final Smashes, I always thought Rocketbarrel Barrage was the worst in the game because it was notoriously hard to control, didn't do much damage in comparison to other Final Smashes of its caliber (such as this one,) and rewards enemies if you miss by letting them heal on dropped peanuts. This, on the other hand, was also hard to control but was actually powerful (well, for me, at least.) I like Diddy more as a character but I like this Final Smash regardless. --Timson622222 (talk) 23:46, 7 Septexmber 2013 (EDT)
  8. i just think that super dragon is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY cooler.--(MetaMewtwoSoul)
  9. I get more kills with Super Dragon and even if Rocketbarrel Charge give out health replenishing peanuts, you don't usually get them and the opponents usually do. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) 17:20, 8 September 2013 (EDT)
  10. Dragon + Yoshi = awesomeness94.97.234.44 11:49, 9 September 2013 (EDT)
  11. I love Yoshi. 192.197.128.21 16:01, 9 September 2013 (EDT)

  2. Ahhh, I remember the first time I used it, then totally KO'D my friend. It felt EPIC. --TheIncrediblePichuLOL (talk) 21:14, 7 September 2013 (EDT) Pichu's are EPIC!!!!!!! I like the word Epic!! :D

Votes for Rocketbarrel Barrage

  1. That doesn't look like a super dragon to me. :|O Conny Airconny Snake Sig.png 11:55, 7 September 2013 (EDT)
  2. I like them both, but I used to main Diddy, so I choose him. WashiWashi signature.png 12:13, 7 September 2013 (EDT)

  4. Ah, the memories of flying around the levels in DK64 with Diddy Kong. Boo BuddyHaunter MS.png 12:48, 7 September 2013 (EDT)

Round 202: Dream Land vs. Green Greens

DreamLandSSB.png
Winner!!
Dream Land
DreamLandSSB.png

16 to 12
Greengreens.jpg
The home arena of Whispy Woods in each game so far. Does the simpler stage or varied vista triumph?

Votes for Dream Land

  1. Dream Land is by far my favorite stage in Super Smash Bros. 64 as well as having my favorite music of all of the Smash Bros. games, Gourmet Race. Green Greens is my least favorite stage in Melee and Brawl, *mumbles because of those stupid bomb blocks. :P Dots MewtwoMS.png The Silent 00:21, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
  2. WELL?!?!?!?!?!?!?! DoctorPain99 00:40, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
  3. OMEGATYRANT?!?! Conny Airconny Snake Sig.png 00:41, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
  4. The only decent stage in the game. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 01:20, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
  5. Dream Land of course. Has been since the first Smash Bros. game, contains a great and quite memetic music, and there aren't blocks stopping your KOs every time. Crazymasterhand98MasterhandSSB64.jpg
  6. I like playing on this stage in both SSB64 and Melee, and it has awesome music too. Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 03:44, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
  7. I like this stage better. Boo BuddyHaunter MS.png 05:01, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
  8. Gourmet Race, that's all that needs to be said. 31.53.220.108 07:23, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
  9. Love the music37.106.45.76 13:19, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
  10. I usually like a lot of the banned stages. Green Greens, though, is just annoying with all the bomb blocks getting in the way, and I like the simplicity of Dream Land 64. Every time I start Brawl modifications again I make sure to replace Green Greens with Dream Land, in fact. --Timson622222 (talk) 00:32, 1 September 2013 (EDT)
  11. Dream Land <3 --LavaKirby 12:52, 1 September 2013 (EDT)
  12. Has better music, and seems more colorful. TheAtomicFire BluePichu.png 19:22, 1 September 2013 (EDT)
  13. More arousing. Chuck the Duck (talk) 21:24, 1 September 2013 (EDT)
  14. This stage doesn't blow. *Ba dum tiss* WashiWashi signature.png 17:50, 2 September 2013 (EDT)
  15. Because Kirby Super Star is one of my favorite Kirby games. ChuckNorris24.png 17:28, 4 September 2013 (EDT)
  16. because Green Greens is a remake in Brawl. --If you annoy igor the mii. you are killed by PK Starstorm! (talk) 15:51, 5 September 2013 (EDT)

Votes for Green Greens

  1. More hilarity ensures here. --HavocReaper48 00:21, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
  2. Pity vote. 75.156.151.217 01:55, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
  3. Better music, bomb blocks for the win and the apples. --MMAI.pngMeMyselfAndI 07:53, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
  4. 75.31.4.16 18:25, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
  5. I like stages full of stage hazards, and Dream Land is the oposite of that.Tepig (talk) 19:10, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
  6. Green Greens is my fourth-favourite stage in Smash history. The top three, in no particular order, are Delfino Plaza, Great Bay and Skyloft. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatum 22:07, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
  7. Best Kirby stage in Melee, best Melee stage in Brawl. It really doesn't get any better than exploding blocks, does it? CrouchingEtown (talk) 01:58, 1 September 2013 (EDT)
  8. I love both, but this one has more memories. Ahh...memories. 75.121.132.213 12:03 1 September 2013
  9. Goodbye! Terrible is Terrible 13:37, 1 September 2013 (EDT)
  10. Chaotic fun. 192.197.128.21 14:51, 4 September 2013 (EDT)
  11. Pity vote :) 5.81.82.31 03:19, 6 September 2013 (EDT)
  12. I find Dream Land more enjoyable overall, but I'll give Green Greens credit for having a more original layout.71.105.121.171 17:04, 6 September 2013 (EDT)
