# Lip's stick is the much better weapon. I think the only reason Fire Flower is winning is because it is from the iconic Mario series, while Lip's Stick is from an uncommon game.

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", 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! If you have any requests for future fights, please feel free to leave a message 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.
  2. You can only vote 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 only vote 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 only take effect 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 along the lines of "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 rather long 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.

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.

Round 137: Fire Flower vs. Lip's Stick

Fire Flower in SSBB.
 Winner!!
undecided

0 to 0
Lipstick.jpg
Two flower-based items, one with spore shooting, the other with combustive chemicals. Which petal-powered pickup prevails?

Votes for Fire Flower

  1. After you're done using it, you can throw it for average knock back and fair damage. Also, it's ever so present in Mario, I just love it quite a large amount.Vincent Transvestite O_oKirby-1.png 23:35, 4 May 2012 (EDT)
  2. I like Mario, so I like Fire Flower. Besides, MALLEO says this kickass quote! ShupaRoeh 00:38, 5 May 2012 (EDT)
  3. Longer and deals damage on the spot. Despise the fact you can DI out of it. LightningBlue: LBPeep LB Peep.png 00:41, 5 May 2012 (EDT)
  4. Burn baby burn! Disco...Inferno!! 208.54.40.214 01:15, 5 May 2012 (EDT)
  5. Using this against the wall= Epic Trolling. King KirbyD A copy of Kirby's head icon in Melee, for usage in King KirbyD's signature. 07:44, 5 May 2012 (EDT)
  6. Mario is always special 2 me!!!99.235.62.184 10:26, 5 May 2012 (EDT)
  7. Very close decision for me, but Fire Flower just wins in the heat of battle. AccoolX File:Accoolx.png 10:41, 5 May 2012 (EDT)

Votes for Lip's Stick

  1. Lip's stick creates flowers that damages others, and that's the thing that I like. Stranger 1260 Master Ball.png 23:32, 4 May 2012 (EDT)
  2. Fire Flower getting credited for its throw attack? I didn't think I'd hear that, I don't think of the discard attack as very good. Lip's Stick, however, has a very good throw attack, with good range, effect, and still plants the flower. And Fire Flower's general attack use is not something I'm a fan of. Plus, I loved Pokémon Puzzle Challenge, so Panel De Pon must be good :P Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumA transparent image of Swadloon for my sig. 09:26, 5 May 2012 (EDT)
  3. This thing rocks. You can constantly damage your opponent and make them look stupid! 24.168.107.113 10:13, 5 May 2012 (EDT)
  4. 204.191.132.218 12:10, 5 May 2012 (EDT)
  5. REALLY close decision, but ultimately I choose Lip's Stick since it also makes a decent throwing item. 110.174.90.69 12:16, 5 May 2012 (EDT)

  1. Flower Brawls definitely help de-promote the cheapness of camping. Toadat9021doh (talk) 13:47, 5 May 2012 (EDT)

Round 136: Kyogre vs. Groudon

KyogreBrawl.jpg
 Winner!!
Kyogre
KyogreBrawl.jpg

22 to 8.5
Groudon brawl.jpg
The sea and the land collide once more. Which way will the coastline sway?

Votes for Kyogre

  1. I remember when my Ruby got stolen in 5th grade. Bad times. Kyogre FTW. 24.168.107.113 09:23, 28 April 2012 (EDT)
  2. Probably the most satisfying KO possible in Smash Bros. would come courtesy of FLUDD/Water Gun, yet so many people diss it. Watching Kyogre take it to the extreme makes their ironic falls fun. I prefer Groudon as a Pokémon, but Kyogre edges it here. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumA transparent image of Swadloon for my sig. 09:25, 28 April 2012 (EDT)
  3. Even though I like Groudon better, Kyogre would be better at KOing people in Brawl. ..... The Cutest Ninten's sprite from Mother/EarthBound Zero, formerly used in Dots's signature. 10:25, 28 April 2012 (EDT)
  4. Kyogre is badass against Groudon. ShupaRoeh 10:42, 28 April 2012 (EDT)
  5. Hydro Pump > Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 10:50, 28 April 2012 (EDT)
  6. A Sheer Cold KO at 0%. Groudon can't do that. DarkFox01 10:55, 28 April 2012 (EDT)
  7. Can actually KO at lower percentages. 204.191.132.218 11:21, 28 April 2012 (EDT)
  8. Water, my favorite type. AccoolX File:Accoolx.png 11:35, 28 April 2012 (EDT)
  9. Kyogre, use sheer cold! 99.235.62.184 14:02, 28 April 2012 (EDT)
  10. Kyogre is better in Brawl and better in RSE, and its robot version is more useful than Groudon's in XD. No amount of me wanting to vote for the underdog can change this. 123JamesHeart PatheticStickFigure.jpg 15:33, 28 April 2012 (EDT)
  11. OHKO potential vs low damage and knockback. No contest. King KirbyD A copy of Kirby's head icon in Melee, for usage in King KirbyD's signature. 16:45, 28 April 2012 (EDT)
  12. Kyogre has always been the superior Pokemon to me. 110.174.90.69 23:04, 28 April 2012 (EDT)
  13. I really like water types more than ground types, also I like Kyogre's SHEER COLD!!!!!User:Smashtito 23:14, 29 April 2012 (EDT)
  14. In Gen 4, he was known as the King of Ubers, being the best pokemon in the game. In Brawl under normal situations, he's the only pokemon who can pretty much guarantee a KO without your involvement, and the only one who can KO the same opponent twice. The best pokemon in the RPGs, and the best pokemon in Brawl, while Groudon is by far the worst legendary in Brawl outside the gift givers and Manaphy. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 02:44, 29 April 2012 (EDT)
  15. Although I like Groudon better for a pokemon because it can use lots of fire type moves, in Brawl Kyogre is much better because it can just push others out of the screen easily. Stranger 1260 Master Ball.png 05:48, 29 April 2012 (EDT)
  16. They're both legendary, but I'm goin' for Kyogre. Smash Master 17:17, 29 April 2012 (EDT)
  17. Water types rule. 67.173.145.76 12:00, 1 May 2012 (EDT)
  18. No real competition. Water > Fire.94.4.227.74 16:47, 1 May 2012 (EDT)
  19. Water > Ground; LOL (and I started the game series with Pokémon Sapphire Version, so yeah). While I lament that the move Hydro Pump has been switched over to a not-often-seen legendary Pokémon rather than a more common Blastoise-family member, Kyogre is much more effective than its volcanic counterpart, Groudon (and I'm glad both of them finally transitioned to the Smash Bros. series). Kyogre damages foes on contact (which is Groudon's sole function in Brawl) and bothers to actually move around the stage, in addition to blasting opponents off the stage with water. Groudon, however, just...sits there using "Overheat", with his true effectiveness mainly being restricted to small stages. And in the actual Pokémon handheld game series, Kyogre freaking decimates much of the opposition compared to Groudon. In any case, both of these Pokémon are awesome (with an excellent ominous battle theme in the Pokémon games and the Pokémon anime, to boot), but Kyogre gains a major edge. 72.3.33.15 14:10, 2 May 2012 (EDT)
  20. Kyogre easely blows Groudon out of the water. Captain Falcon talk 14:31, 2 May 2012 (EDT)
  21. Better Pokemon. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 22:47, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

Half votes

  1. Kyogre easily KOs people by pushing them off the stage, while Groudon only turns around on the spot wher it was summoned. Plus, Kyogre follows you everywhere, while Groudon is easy to dodge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.106.218.146 (talk • contribs) 01:07, 29 April (EDT)
  2. Kyogre moves around, blowing every opponent away with water. Groudon just chills around on one spot.-Kaizer24.185.135.102 01:48, 29 April 2012 (EDT)

Votes for Groudon

  1. Kyogre is much more powerful than Groudon. Therefore, Groudon is more fair. Meta Ike Image for Meta Ike's signature 20:16, 28 April 2012 (EDT)

  5. He lives in a volcano. Nuff' said.174.30.220.71 17:19, 30 April 2012 (EDT)
  6. I kinda don't see why everyone likes water more than fire. Sorry if this is a pokemon reference, but fire decks are all the rage in the tcg nowdays.71.55.130.169 17:34, 1 May 2012 (EDT)BK

Comments

Perhaps maybe we could also put Rayquaza in this match too. :P ..... The Cutest Ninten's sprite from Mother/EarthBound Zero, formerly used in Dots's signature. 13:56, 29 April 2012 (EDT)

Agreed; a three-way match would have been much better, in my opinion. It seems wrong to exclude Rayquaza from the match, as a relationship has been established among Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza (most evident in the legends/stories of Pokémon Emerald Version). Land·Sea·Sky, anyone? Personally, I would have liked to see how Rayquaza fares against Kyogre, as I'm surprised that Kyogre is dominating with votes in this poll against Groudon. 72.3.33.15 14:10, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

Hmm, a few people seem to think Kyogre uses Sheer Cold for its attack, and some think Groudon is a fire-type. I sense some of you may have thought that Kyogre uses Sheer Cold because of its trophy description, but it uses Hydro Pump. Groudon, I can understand, but it is in fact a pure ground type.

Some people thinks that Kyogre's Sheer Cold is powerful, but don't forget that Groudon can use Fissure. Stranger 1260 Master Ball.png 07:37, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

Although Sheer Cold is advantageous in that no Pokémon has a natural type immunity to it, unlike Fissure (which Flying-type Pokémon and Pokémon with the Levitate ability easily avoid). 72.3.33.15 14:10, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

@71.55.130.169, Groudon is not a fire type, it's ground. The Solar Dragon 14:36, 2 May 2012 (EDT)


@Stranger: Rule 12. Also, @72.3.33.15, your vote is way too long. DarkFox01 16:50, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

Stranger1260 just put that a user went wrong. ShupaRoeh 18:54, 2 May 2012 (EDT)
Nothing at all forbids him from having a long vote, I credit him for that. BTW @That IP, you ought to get an account, so you're more recognisable, seeing as you put so much effort in. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumA transparent image of Swadloon for my sig. 17:50, 2 May 2012 (EDT)
