 Winner!!
Dr. Mario
Artwork of Dr. Mario as he appears in Melee.

17 to 15
Young Link in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Two clones that see more tournament success than their originals and didn't get to appear in more than one game. Does the extra speed or extra power make the difference?

Votes for Dr. Mario[edit]

  1. Always liked him more. He's "better" anyway. c: Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 09:56, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  2. The fist. Also, Shroomed. Also, I find Dr. Mario to be much much more interesting to watch at high level play, while Armada v.s. Hungrybox as Young Link is campy as hell. I also like playing as Doc better, so why not? --Timson622222 (talk) 15:54, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  3. I'm sick and need a doctor. And how is Young Link different from Link? SeanWheeler (talk) 16:34, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  4. Dr. Mario is actually my favorite melee character. I always unlock him first.--Pichu+Pichu (talk) 17:17, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  5. I have no idea how Young Link is higher tiered than Link.71.118.248.217 18:02, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  6. Because: Nurse Peach, Megavitamins, high tier placement, the series' only reverse sex kick, awesome headgear, a swaggin'-ass Taunt, and that sweet, sweet Fist... :3 Oasidu (talk) 23:51, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  7. And both are clones of my mains. Dr. Mario is closer to Mario than Young Link is to Toon Link, so I guess I'm voting this way. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatum 16:38, 4 November 2013 (EST)
  8. Meh. I just prefer Doc. MarioGalaxy (talk) 13:56, 5 November 2013 (EST)
  9. For some reason, seems less of a clone to me.TheAtomicFire BluePichu.png 17:51, 6 November 2013 (EST)
  10. Young Link is the character I play the worst as in Melee. 86.153.101.92 04:50, 8 November 2013 (EST)
  11. Dr. Mario was so good they had to take him out of Brawl, whereas Young Link got cloned again! Jellybeanman (talk) 17:37, 8 November 2013 (EST)
  12. Dr. Mario and Link are similar; they are (obviously) better than Mario and Young Link, respectively (and they can both juggle better, LOL). Go Dr. Mario! Requiem fo Ice (talk) 20:15, 8 November 2013 (EST)
  13. Dr. Mario is higher tier. Plus, I've always been more familiar with the Mario series. So, Dr. M gets my vote.108.203.57.231 23:21, 9 November 2013 (EST)
  14. I like the Mario universe better than the Link universe. 24.55.13.140 19:52, 10 November 2013 (EST)
  15. Time for your daily medication! 76.19.111.57 17:46, 11 November 2013 (EST)
  16. Dr. Mario kicks, like, multiple asses. Vuela Vuela, baby talk 21:26, 11 November 2013 (EST)
  17. He's my main, the games are great, and Dr. Mario is just a funny concept. --MMAI.pngMeMyselfAndI 11:47, 14 November 2013 (EST)

Votes for Young Link[edit]

  1. The Hero of Time is overpowered in speedruns, he can even beat Ganon with a pointed stick. :P Dots MewtwoMS.png The G-Man 10:19, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  2. 75.156.151.217 12:34, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  3. Dr. Mario The Plumber is not my main on melee, young link the elf is. --Igor The Mii (talk) 19:30, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
  4. He's way more important in Nintendo's history than Doc. Sloth (I am NOT Sloth) 20:23, 2 November 2013 (EDT)

Comments[edit]

Young Link and Dr.Mario are both SUPER clones. But (this time,) I prefer speed over strength.EpicLuigiDude (talk) 07:40, 3 November 2013 (EST)

There's a decent chance I won't be capable of uploading a new round this week, just so you know. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Awesome 08:36, 8 November 2013 (EST)

Dr. Mario is quite the challenge when playing against someone. Requiem fo Ice (talk) 20:20, 8 November 2013 (EST)

The comments section is probably not the place to post your opinions. Creating another forum about it is probably the better place. Dots (talk) MewtwoMS.png The Kirby 20:24, 8 November 2013 (EST)
Ah, okay. I will actually change it, then. Thanks for informing me. Requiem fo Ice (talk) 20:28, 8 November 2013 (EST)

@Requiem of Ice: Young Link is actually ranked higher than Link on the tier list... Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 06:03, 9 November 2013 (EST)

That was a terrible mistake. I see NOTHING that could make Young Link better than Link. Sure, Young Link may be faster and smaller, but that's just it, nothing else from my POV. Requiem fo Ice (talk) 12:47, 9 November 2013 (EST)
I see that it's your opinion though. By the way, Smash Arena isn't for arguments, so we shouldn't continue this. I was just pointing it out Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 12:49, 9 November 2013 (EST)
Of course; I did get a bit carried away. Requiem fo Ice (talk) 13:07, 9 November 2013 (EST)
imo I think that YL is higher because of Armada and Axe mostly, not much else (lack of representation is what brings Link down) --Timson622222 (talk) 16:52, 9 November 2013 (EST)
Well, lack of representation shouldn't really be what makes a character good or bad; it should/always is how people play the characters. Also, have you heard of CCDJMC (crouch cancelled double jump momentum cancel) or anything like that?Requiem fo Ice (talk) 19:38, 9 November 2013 (EST)

Not to be offensive or anything but I noticed that there are five votes to Young Link that appear quite similar to each other. I can tell because those five users all wrote down "Young Link <insert compliment>." and they all didn't space their signature from their comment text where usually users do space them. Whether it is to inflate the votes to Young Link's side or something, it's suspicious. Dots (talk) MewtwoMS.png The Metal Gear REX 19:01, 11 November 2013 (EST)

Not to mention, all the usernames appear to be one-word red links. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) 22:16, 11 November 2013 (EST)

Whoever casted votes 12, 13, 14, 16, and 17 for Young Link, please read SW:SOCK. Thanks. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) 22:12, 11 November 2013 (EST)

Would've been better to report suspected sockpuppetry on the admin noticeboard. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Brass 22:19, 11 November 2013 (EST)

When is the new battle coming up? It's already Monday night! FireMario1534 (talk) 07:45, 11 November 2013 (EST)

Calm down dude. Didn't you just see the post that Toomai said that there is a chance that he won't be be uploading a new round this week? People sometimes need a break from things they always do. Dots (talk) MewtwoMS.png The Justice 22:51, 11 November 2013 (EST)

Andross trophy from Super Smash Bros. Melee.
The next goodie vs. baddie matchup features some dude with a tail and some other mad scientist guy. They don't like each other very much. Brilliant flavour here.

Votes for Fox[edit]

  1. Andross is an ugly ass. And besides, I'm pretty good with Fox in every smash game. Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 11:37, 23 November 2013 (EST)
  2. Andross can be pretty easy to defeat in Star Fox and Star Fox 64. :P Dots (talk) MewtwoMS.png The Scout 11:46, 23 November 2013 (EST)

  1. Same as the above vote. Also, Andross is just a lame assist trophy. If you can beat Shadow of the Wolf, that's proof that Fox can take down Andross. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Planterobloon (talk • contribs) 18:28, 26 November 2013 (GMT)

  11. Hot! Her Zero Suit actually makes her look more like a girl than her Master Chief-style armor. Seriously, when you first look at Samus' power suit, would you instantly know she's female? Nope, you'd assume she's a man. And the obvious feminine is more sexy than the ambiguous female. SeanWheeler (talk) 18:34, 8 December 2013 (EST)
