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.

Round 206: Samus vs. Jigglypuff

Samus SSBB.jpg
Winner!!
undecided

~ to ~
Jigglypuff SSBB.jpg
The original floaties - one heavy and one light, but both ambiguously female on the outside and with similar tier list placings (bottom half, top half, bottom tier). Does Rollout or Morph Ball roll on to victory?

Votes for Samus

  1. Samus has bombs, missiles, and a morph ball. Jigglypuff has no recovery. Nothing more to be said. 76.119.77.15 11:15, 28 September 2013 (EDT)
  2. jigglypuff the round pokemon sucks ass. so samus the bounty hunter (she is a bounty hunter) --If you annoy igor the mii. you are killed by PK Starstorm! (talk) 12:52, 29 September 2013 (EDT)
  3. Do I really need to say it? I will anyway. Samus has a lot of things - laser beams, missiles, bombs, the Screw Attack, the morph ball, you name it. Jigglypuff, on the other hand, has nothing that makes it useful. Trust me, Samus is much superior, so she gets my vote. 5.81.83.200 03:23, 30 September 2013 (EDT)
  4. I have an easier time using Samus. 192.197.128.21 15:43, 30 September 2013 (EDT)

Votes for Jigglypuff

  1. Because Melee Jigglypuff. o‿O Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 10:19, 28 September 2013 (EDT)\
  2. Pokémon rules and Jigglypuff is so cute94.98.255.250 10:28, 28 September 2013 (EDT)
  3. Fat people are awesome. :P Dots MewtwoMS.png The Disc 10:29, 28 September 2013 (EDT)
  4. Not a big fan of Metroid, and anyways, Jigglypuff was so cute back in the Gen 1 Pokémon Anime. <3--LavaKirby 11:32, 28 September 2013 (EDT)
  5. Anything that's a Pokémon gets my vote. Plus, Jigglypuff currently has no wins in the Smash Arena, so I want to give it something to brag about for once. 71.105.121.171 11:59, 28 September 2013 (EDT)

  10. IT KEEPS HAPPENING --Timson622222 (talk) 15:42, 28 September 2013 (EDT)
  11. Despite contextually poor recovery, Jigglypuff is absurdly overpowered in most areas... Just Saiyan. Oasidu (talk) 17:36, 28 September 2013 (EDT)
  12. 75.156.151.217 23:48, 28 September 2013 (EDT)
  13. Jigglypuff gets too much hate. Megamanmario4 (talk) 06:26, 29 September 2013 (EDT)
  14. While its spot on the playable roster is questionable, it does have one of the most fun character designs and playstyles. Plus who doesn't enjoy Jigglypuff's death cries? Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 11:07, 29 September 2013 (EDT)

@IP76: Jigglypuff actually has one of the best recoveries in all three Smash games Melee and Brawl. Awesome Cardinal 2000 12:00, 28 September 2013 (EDT)

In Melee and Brawl, yeah, but not really in Smash 64. Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 12:12, 28 September 2013 (EDT)
Actually, Jigglypuff doesn't really have any recovery moves at all in Brawl. :/ --69.244.174.29 12:34, 28 September 2013 (EDT)
True that its up special doesn't give a third jump, but Pound can give you decent horizontal distance as well. Dots MewtwoMS.png The 80's 13:19, 28 September 2013 (EDT)
Jigglypuff has five midair jumps which gives it one of the best recoveries. Awesome Cardinal 2000 17:10, 28 September 2013 (EDT)
Along with a really fast air speed, and Rising Pound. Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 17:12, 28 September 2013 (EDT)

Round 205: Taunt cancelling vs. Moonwalking

Taunt-canceling Dr. Mario Melee.gif
Winner!!
Moonwalking

4 to 13.5
While they do have their uses, these two techinques mostly just look cool. Which jaunt has more jam?

Votes for Taunt cancelling

  1. Most normal taunts don't annoy your opponent. Taunt cancel spam in SSB64 does. wheeeeeee o‿O Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 10:19, 21 September 2013 (EDT)
  2. Just 'cause. 75.156.151.217 20:45, 21 September 2013 (EDT)
  3. The two mostly apply to different games, and I personally love taunt spamming SSB64 :D 76.201.90.68 22:27, 22 September 2013 (EDT)
  4. Amusing. 192.197.128.21 17:19, 24 September 2013 (EDT)

Votes for Moonwalking

  1. Oh come on, Captain Falcon is the better example for moonwalking. Why Fox instead of him? Dots MewtwoMS.png The Player 11:17, 21 September 2013 (EDT)
  2. moon walking sounds coolerMetaMewtwoSoul (talk) 12:46, 21 September 2013 (EDT)
