SmashArena.png

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, editors and users, to the Smash Arena! Each week (or possibly less often, if the wiki's status is Yellow or above) 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 a 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!

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. Other users should not fix such broken votes without also 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 (and subsequently deleted) at an operator's discretion.

Multiple votes in a round are not allowed; attempts to circumvent this with sockpuppets will result in all your votes being deleted, 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.

Round 238: Tingle vs. Isabelle

TingleTrophyWiiU.png
 Winner!!
undecided

~ to ~
IsabelleTrophyWiiU.png
These two Assist Trophies like to throw useful items into the battle. Which is seen as more helpful?

Votes for Tingle

  1. Tingle changes the outcome of a match to a much more impactful extent than does Isabelle. In the world of Super Smash Bros., it's kill or be killed. A meager fruit from Isabelle will not harm your opponent; a Hammer or Golden Hammer from Tingle might just provide that bone-breaking force necessary to shatter your opponents' spirits, not to mention their skulls. The question that binds this Smash Arena round is really this: which do you value more, gaining health for yourself or making others lose health? I, personally, believe that you can't win if you don't make others lose. Everyman Or Nobody? (talk) 00:34, 6 December 2015 (EST)
  2. Tingle Tingle Kallopa(Psychninja14 (talk) 01:24, 6 December 2015 (EST))

Votes for Isabelle

  1. She gets my vote for being adorable and helpful. Berrenta (talk) 00:30, 6 December 2015 (EST)
  2. She actually heals the player. Tingle can spawn hammers which can break the game. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is a never lover boy 00:59, 6 December 2015 (EST)

Round 237: Battleship Halberd vs. Isle of the Ancients

Halberdsse.jpg
 Winner!!
Battleship Halberd

41 to 17.5
Isle of the Ancients.png
Both taken over and later destroyed by the Subspace Army, these two high-tech high-powered fortresses are now in another battle. Does the swordsman's airship or the robots' homeland come out on top?

Votes for Battleship Halberd

  1. Its got Zelda and Falco in it. Also Subspace Bomb Factory Part II gets really annoying on harder difficulties. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is bad for me 23:40, 18 April 2015 (EDT)
  2. As cool as floating islands are, Revenge of Meta Knight is just too awesome to let this pass un-voted. ♡FirstaLasto♥ 00:20, 19 April 2015 (EDT)
  3. I like this area in the actual Kirby games. MarioIsTheBest (talk) 08:44, 19 April 2015 (EDT)
  4. I'm not very fond of original Smash Bros locations. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 11:50, 19 April 2015 (EDT)
  5. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the SSE. However, the main problem I had with it was the huge emphasis on original areas and enemies, (seriously, this is a crossover, why not focus more on places and enemies from the various universes?). Thus, I pick Halberd, since it's not an original Smash location, and it's also one of my favorite stages in Brawl. MeatBall104; You Will Know My Name! 12:31, 19 April 2015 (EDT)
  6. I like Kirby series and I have no idea what the other is.68.109.72.5 13:20, 19 April 2015 (EDT)

  13. SonicfanXD (talk) 12:42, 22 April 2015 (EDT)
  14. The Halberd always seemed like an overwrought mess, especially for a Kirby game. Seemed like it needed half the population of Pop Star to even run, and yet, they still couldn't hold off one pink puffball. That's precisely why I love it so. --Fubaka (talk) 12:24, 23 April 2015 (EDT)

  17. Best Stage EVER also the other stage is dumb halberd is cool kirbys are cute this poem makes no sense...Microwave Hyper Nintendo (talk) 07:30, 27 April 2015 (EDT)
  18. A great Brawl stage indeed! Kirby fights there in various Kirby games so, I agree! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2015 (EDT)
  19. The only spaceship I know to wear a mask. Dashiell (talk) 22:21, 29 April 2015 (EDT)
  20. I was extremly happy to crush people as Sheik on the battleship, so it has one more vote from me! This is also my first edit, so let me know if I did something wrong. LittleMacmain97 (talk) 18:45, 30 April 2015 (EDT)

  24. Because Kirby. Nintenzilla (talk) 13:22, 17 May 2015 (EDT)
  25. Because Mk is my main and I don't like the Sonic the Hedgehog series Blizzard-Star (talk) 16:03, 3 June 2015 (EDT)Blizzard-Star
  26. Let's see. Halberd has turrets, a cannon, a...weird arm thing(?), energy bombs and a badass look. Isle of Ancients...well... Serpent King (talk) 21:50, 9 June 2015 (EDT)
  27. Despite having the Halberd being crushed, it still has a great defense to it, like those cannons there. The Isle of Ancients is nice, but the Halberd is highly more efficientEmiliaTheHyperSniper (talk) 22:25, 24 June 2015 (EDT) EmiliaTheHyperSniper (talk)
  28. When theres Meta Knight, get REKT! SparkyPikachu (talk)
  29. The Kirby Series is awesome; therefore, Battleship Halberd is awesome! AmoongussForLife (talk) 12:20, 18 July 2015 (EDT)
  30. Not too familiar with the Isle of the Ancients. RevengeOfMetaKnight (talk) 12:22, 21 July 2015 (EDT)
  31. Besides just being a kirby fan, I really like this location better, because the isle if ancients was never pleasing or memorable to me in any way. The halberd is cooler imo, and I actually remember playing it. TheAtomicFire BluePichu.png 18:15, 26 July 2015 (EDT)
  32. I think I'll go with the Halberd on this one. It's an actual weapon, isn't a big, rocky, defenseless target in the middle of nowhere, and isn't derivative. Isle of the Ancients? Sonic 3 & Knuckles wants its island back. Hawk 21PSIWolf sig 1.pngTalk 03:33, 8 August 2015 (EDT)
  33. A badass battleship against an island? Yeah, pretty obvious. Plus I don't like the Sonic franchise at all. WiserThanYou (talk) 04:23, 8 August 2015 (EDT)
  34. Battleship halberd is a manacing battleship, whereas Isle of the Ancients is... An island inhabited by R.O.B.s? Easy choice here... Halberd gets my vote! INoMed, King of Demons 10:12, 29 August 2015 (EDT)
  35. Per INoMed. Ganonmew (talk) 12:27, 6 September 2015 (EDT)
  36. I like Kirby-verse so ye --Myth Myth Kirby.png 09:05, 30 September 2015 (EDT)
  37. It's a dark and misterious stage, but it's a super stage and all loves SmashAri 20:42, 15 October 2015 (EDT)
  38. because meta knight. Elitemagikarp (talk) 15:50, 20 October 2015 (EDT)
  39. All I can say is Meta Knight is awesome. Who doesn't like Meta Knight? User:ThePikaPlayer 10:02, 29 October 2015 (EDT)
  40. I guess I'll finally vote. Halberd is one of the only stages in Project M I didn't replace music for. Why is that? Because Gourmet Race is one of the best songs ever added to Smash Bros. Besides that, I think the Halberd is the cooler contestant here. John John3637881 Signature.png PK SMAAAASH!! 13:29, 4 November 2015 (EST)
  41. There isn't much to know about the Isle besides the fact that there is now a ROB factory on it (unless there's some hidden lore I don't know about). Aqua Shield (talk) AquaShield.png 19:01, 9 November 2015 (EST)

Votes for Isle of the Ancients

  1. ZatannaCobblepot (talk) 02:50, 19 April 2015 (EDT)
  2. Because I'm a Sonic fan and the Isle of the Ancients looks mysteriously like Angel Island. Aidanzapunksignature.pngAidan, Master of Speed and AuraAidanzapunkSignaturesmall.PNG 13:41, 19 April 2015 (EDT)
  3. Subspace Bomb Factory Part 2 is my favorite stage in the Subspace Emissary. 71.108.116.104 14:28, 19 April 2015 (EDT)
  4. This is where R.O.B.s are made. R.O.B. is in Mario Kart DS. I like Mario Kart games. I like chocolate. Chocolate is food. Food is tasty. R.O.B. is not. It all loops around. 72.105.4.229 15:47, 19 April 2015 (EDT)

  7. The Isle Of The Ancients had at one point been a rich society of happiness and fortune, but that all ended when the events of the Subspace Emissary began. After this adventure mode, R. O. B. becomes the last of his kind, not to mention (spoiler alert) that he was a driving force in killing off his own brethren when he posed as the Ancient Minister. The story of R. O. B. and the Isle Of The Ancients is one of tragic pain and eternal sadness, while the Battleship Halberd went through virtually neither trial nor tribulation. Unlike R. O. B.'s home, it saw pretty much no suffering; unlike R. O. B.'s home, it's history was not nullified; and unlike R. O. B.'s home, the race that prospered, danced, and thrived on it was not wiped out, with the exception of a lone survivor, who became forced to bear the heavy weight of the death of his species, including his family and friends. More than that, because one could posit that robots are technically immortal (since they had no natural life to begin with), R. O. B. must carry these nightmares over his shoulder literally forever, without any beautiful, merciful end. Everyman Or Nobody? (talk) 00:27, 25 April 2015 (EDT)
  8. It has Captain Falcon, therefruit is an instant win Kenniky SMASHROSTERSMALL.png 13:22, 25 April 2015 (EDT)

Okay, #4 Isle of Ancients... what even... Also, Everyman, why are your votes always so DEEP?!

Everyman you should shorten your votes and also sign your comments the guy above me use the ~ key 3 times Hyper Nintendo (talk) 07:32, 27 April 2015 (EDT)

Nope; four ~ are needed. Three gives just the signature without the timestamp. Berrenta (talk) 12:19, 22 June 2015 (EDT)

I've noticed that a lot of people think that Isle of Ancients is from Sonic. I think this is because if Aidan's comment, but I'm not sure. LittleMacmain97, lord of the punch. (talk) 22:21, 6 June 2015 (EDT)

It's not actually a Sonic stage since he doesn't appear until the very end of the Subspace Emissary. Besides, the SA Box features a R.O.B. symbol, not a Sonic symbol. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is made in America 23:01, 6 June 2015 (EDT)

This fight has been up for over 2 months. When we are going to get a new one? Awesomelink234 PK FLASHBOMB! 09:40, 22 June 2015 (EDT)

With events so big like E3, we might not even get a new match until the end of summer or even November (Yes, there was a 6 month hiatus before). Dots (talk) Mega Man X SNES sprite.png The Zero 10:30, 22 June 2015 (EDT)
True, but there was nothing Smash-related really big at E3 this year. Awesomelink234 PK FLASHBOMB! 21:48, 22 June 2015 (EDT)

Everyman should just off the smash arena also,smash arena updates when the wiki is NOT on yellow —Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎Hyper Nintendo (talk • contribs) 00:32, 30 June 2015 (EDT)

The Smash Arena progressed on a yellow status before. It was on a hiatus when the wiki was on a red status. Also, next time, sign your posts with ~~~~. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is bad for me 01:10, 30 June 2015 (EDT)
  1. I said it reminded me of Angel Island. I didn't say it was.
  2. I think it's about time this thing got changed as well.
Aidanzapunksignature.pngAidan, Master of Speed and AuraAidanzapunkSignaturesmall.PNG 09:07, 10 August 2015 (EDT)

I'm ready for a new Smash Arena, there are a lot of good suggestions for you to choose from, so I think it needs a change. Even though the winner of this one's pretty obvious. 75.141.44.151 17:40, 13 August 2015 (EDT)

The first vote dates back to April 18th, and it is now September 3rd. I think it's time for a new one. Aidanzapunksignature.pngAidan, Master of Speed and AuraAidanzapunkSignaturesmall.PNG 09:16, 3 September 2015 (EDT)

The sad thing is that we are still on the status of a ton of business to do. Smash Arena has very low priority as of right now but I would agree that it has been a year since Smash 4. Compared to that date to our current state, its not as bad, but unless if we try finishing up all that is to get caught up on quickly, Smash Arena is going nowhere for another 6 months or so. Dots (talk) Mega Man X SNES sprite.png The Kamehameha 21:35, 14 September 2015 (EDT)
I agree there's still work to be done, but I think updating this thing soon couldn't hurt the progress being done that much... I'm gonna go update the Floor Attack page now. (Almost had it done last week, and then my internet crashed and my progress wasn't saved...) AmoongussForLife (talk) 17:02, 29 September 2015 (EDT)
Aidan is right. I think. I hope. This is getting OLD. Pika, Poyo Poyo Poyo (talk) 14:16, 3 November 2015 (EST)
