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. 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.

  6. Helirin doesn't really do anything productive, and Corneria is a spaceship plus jet plus laser cannon.75.85.64.155 01:06, 15 February 2014 (EST)

Winner!!

Link might be leaning towards the slow and strong side of the spectrum, but Ike is firmly planted a ways down the line. What colour sword wins this fight?

  9. I used to think of Ike as a good character, however, I was versing lvl 5 snakes, so they had no skill. Then I learned how punishable his attacks were. Link is decent, but I dont like Ike. 75.85.64.155 18:12, 2 February 2014 (EST)
  10. In SSBM, one of my best characters was Roy, so when Ike replaced him in SSBB, I developed an amount of dislike towards him. Mr. Mewtwo, Roy, Game, And Watch (talk) 23:43, 2 February 2014 (EST)
  11. I just like him...93.105.60.106 13:20, 3 February 2014 (EST)

  19. He used to be my favourite character in the original Smash Bros. RickTommy 18:00, 11 February 2014 (EST)
  20. Link is the best Nintendo character. 75.172.113.246 21:00, 11 February 2014 (EST)
  21. I prefer Link. 99.93.76.66 15:38, 12 February 2014 (EST)
  22. Link has superior equipment and way more experience than Ike since he is the multi-incarnate hero of the Hyrule kingdom. 75.165.98.21 19:24, 12 February 2014 (EST)

  27. I agree with Terrible, I died while recovering with Aether. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) 13:43, 14 February 2014 (EST)
  28. IMO Link's mobility and recovery should be as good as they were in Melee. 75.165.122.29 17:38, 14 February 2014 (EST)

Half-votes

  1. It was a tough choice as a sword practitioner myself. Link was the one I used first, so I have to vote for him. Dragon5 (talk) 21:05, 2 February 2014 (EST)
  2. Just...awesome.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.72.75.73 12:22, February 9, 2014 (EST)
  3. Because he doesn't fight for his friends.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Pr.BowserJr.32 (talkcontribs) 12:00, February 11, 2014 (EST)

  2. I can play as Ike better than I can play as Link. 75.156.151.217 13:48, 1 February 2014 (EST)

  4. I'm better with Ike than Link (in Brawl at least)...though still pretty bad with both. Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 19:04, 1 February 2014 (EST)
  5. Link had such a nasty nerf in Brawl. He's my best in melee, but they ruined him in Brawl.71.106.217.7 03:02, 2 February 2014 (EST)
  6. Man, such a tough choice. But Ike has this awesome final smash "GREAT AETHER!". SeanWheeler (talk) 10:57, 2 February 2014 (EST)
  7. Ike is way better. Jellybeanman (talk) 14:29, 2 February 2014 (EST)
  8. I cannot make Link work in any game across the entire series, including mods; he is, to put it bluntly, my worst character. I'm also not fond of any of the Zelda games in general, while I am interested in one day playing Fire Emblem games. I can also make Ike kinda work. --Timson622222 (talk) 18:20, 2 February 2014 (EST)

  12. Tough choice. However, since I'm getting good with Marth, and he's also from Fire Emblem....AETHER! SSBBNess (talk) SSBBNess sig image.png 09:00, 4 February 2014 (EST)
  13. My sister is an Ike main, and has proven to me how effective Ike can be against the unsuspecting. His air attacks are just fantastic for stringing together, and his jab-grab stuff... Link sucks in Brawl, like, hardcore style, which is really sad because he's such a cool character. -- (The preceding signed comment was made by Ghabulous Ghoti) 18:45, 4 February 2014 (EST)
  14. Ike's my main! 173.183.58.30 18:34, 5 February 2014 (EST)

I was reluctant to vote. I didn't want to pass on such a good fight though. Hopefully there won't be something this tough again. :P Dragon5 (talk) 21:08, 2 February 2014 (EST) Link is an awesome character his final smash is better than Ike's! >: )

Is it possible for a match extension for this? (And yes, I deleted my previous comment) Requiem of Ice (talk) 17:23, 7 February 2014 (EST)

Toomai: Do we have to wait another week for the next round again because your busy? Dots (talk) Link OoT Dots.PNG The Cutie 21:39, 8 February 2014 (EST)

Apparently yes. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Polychromatic 22:14, 8 February 2014 (EST)
AWESOME! But hey, since I love both characters, I don't care who wins, as long as they finally got against each other.
EDIT: I've looked over the statistics of past matches, and I didn't see a single match where, correct me if I'm wrong, both characters breached over 20 votes.Requiem of Ice (talk) 17:20, 9 February 2014 (EST)
Actually, round 100a between Luigi and Captain Falcon was the last time both participants had over 20 votes. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) 21:29, 12 February 2014 (EST)
Ah, so it's extremely rare to have over 20 votes for both participants, then. Thanks for informing me. Requiem of Ice (talk) 21:34, 12 February 2014 (EST)
