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 do so; 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. 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 bannable offense. Probated users who attempt to circumvent their probation with sockpuppets are also committing a bannable offense and will have their vote discounted. Remember that admins have access to Check User 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.

Votes for Ganondorf

  2. 204.191.140.194 13:34, 12 January 2013 (EST)

Comments

Wouldn't a Ganondorf vs. Ancient Minister fight be more appropriate? ChuckNorris24.png 12:23, 12 January 2013 (EST)

Maybe, but I prefer "pure" Smasher vs. Smasher fights, since they're getting harder to come by. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Golden 12:29, 12 January 2013 (EST)

The black text against the red background for Ganondorf is kinda hard to see. 108.21.228.127 13:26, 12 January 2013 (EST)

To be honest, I don't really see similarity between Ganondorf and ROB other that they used to work for Tabuu. Dots NintenNESsprite.png The Metal Gear 16:22, 12 January 2013 (EST)

Round 170: Landmaster Fight

Winner!!
Wolf's Landmaster
Wolf Landmaster.jpg

7 to 6.5 to 15
Do YOU have a Landmaster?

Votes for Fox's Landmaster

  1. I think cloned Final Smashes are awful, so even though the other two are better overall at killing, the original gets my vote. blue ninjakoopa 23:35, 4 January 2013 (EST)
  2. Fox's introduction in the Subspace Emissary has cemented him as my favorite Star Fox character. Fox FTW!174.30.218.105 11:21, 6 January 2013 (EST)
  3. Pity vote; not to mention that Fox is one of my most-used characters in Brawl. RickTommy 03:12, 7 January 2013 (EST)
  4. I'm just picking at random. 142.244.206.214 11:55, 7 January 2013 (EST)
  5. I honestly don't care but I find it most effective when I fly to the top of the screen with someone on top and automatically star K.O. them, and using this method it doesn't matter which Landmaster you're using so its therefore a matter of favorite over firepower.68.115.61.130 12:58, 7 January 2013 (EST)BK
  6. Out of the three Star Fox characters, Fox is my favourite so I prefer his Landmaster. 203.52.200.130 03:13, 9 January 2013 (EST)
  7. --Havoc48 >:D!!! 17:31, 9 January 2013 (EST)

Votes for Falco's Landmaster

  1. It's the only final smash with a strong chance to eliminate two of your opponent's stocks, and while it's a little weaker than the other two here, it hardly matters when it still kills and has much more capability to lift people past the top. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 23:21, 4 January 2013 (EST)
  2. It's for my current main.--BrianDon't try me!Falco.gif 23:13, 5 January 2013 (EST)
  3. Better for Star KOing. Takava (talk) 14:38, 6 January 2013 (EST)
  4. Falco has the best phrase in his Final Smash. Although Wolf definitly has the best taunt of the 3 Star Fox characters. Wiiurocks (talk) 15:15, 6 January 2013 (EST)
  5. No it can't be true... I can fly if l wanted to. Like a bird in the sky I believe I can fly. I can fly!! LightningBlue405MS.png 22:20, 6 January 2013 (EST)
  6. Simply best for KOs. BlueRidiculous (talk) 18:10, 7 January 2013 (EST)

Votes for Wolf's Landmaster

  1. 204.191.140.194 02:15, 5 January 2013 (EST)
  2. Because Wolf is the Star Fox character I usually play as. JamesJH-Heartless.pngHeart 10:08, 5 January 2013 (EST)
  3. Wolf is my third favorite Brawl character. 173.56.34.123 10:11, 5 January 2013 (EST)
  4. You're good. But I'm better! Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 10:55, 5 January 2013 (EST)

  9. Wolf's looks the coolest. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 16:13, 5 January 2013 (EST)
  10. Can't let you win this, Star Fox! Air Conditioner AC.png is on an insane rampage 16:31, 5 January 2013 (EST)
  11. This is the strongest. Smash Master 21:57, 5 January 2013 (EST)
  12. Despite lasting shorter than the two, this is perhaps the most dangerous of the three landmasters. Its better in almost every aspect... Dots NintenNESsprite.png The Musician 00:10, 6 January 2013 (EST)
  13. More power! I just wish it would last longer. BunnyHoodYoshi9001 Talk to me 10:57, 6 January 2013 (EST)
  14. Bandit 11:43, 6 January 2013 (EST)
  15. It looks the coolest. ChuckNorris24.png 17:17, 10 January 2013 (EST)

Holy crap, I can't believe this suggestion made it. :P Dots NintenNESsprite.png The Achiever 00:03, 5 January 2013 (EST)

Smash Master, this is not a place to reference your trivial grudges against other users. I'm not here to provoke you; you have the right your own opinions and emotions, but here is not the place for them.--BrianDon't try me!Falco.gif 02:41, 5 January 2013 (EST)

I would like to point out IP 68 that Fox's flies up much slower and not as high as Falco's and Wolf's, and as such is not really effective at KO via lifting people past the top. Thus it does matter which Landmaster it is if you only go for the KO with them by that method. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 03:38, 9 January 2013 (EST)
