Forums: Index → Smash Arena

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.
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 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. 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 163: Light Arrow vs. Critical Hit

		Winner!! undecided ~ to ~
Two one-hit KO Final Smashes that fire in straight lines - what will happen when they clash?
Votes for Light Arrow Why not? Terrible is Thanksgiving 12:35, 10 November 2012 (EST) Light Arrow can go through solid surface. Brawls of fury (talk) 12:50, 10 November 2012 (EST) Pity vote. But I must admit, Marth's is way cooler. Nintendosega75 (talk) 13:51, 10 November 2012 (EST) The Cheese 14:59, 10 November 2012 (EST) I dislike Marth a lot, and personally I think Light Arrow looks cooler, even if it's not an OHKO. 110.174.90.69 21:00, 10 November 2012 (EST)			Votes for Critical Hit Almost always an instant KO. 204.191.140.194 00:37, 10 November 2012 (EST) Fire Emblem is freakin' awesome. 24.168.93.165 00:59, 10 November 2012 (EST) I've survived Light Arrow without the aid of anything to reduce/halt my knockback, the same can't be said for Critical Hit. Omega Tyrant 01:01, 10 November 2012 (EST) Both can be easy to dodge, but at least Light Arrow can have some chances of surviving. Critical Hit, well, not so much. (Per OT) Dots The Doom 01:24, 10 November 2012 (EST) Deadlier.-- PSIWolf The one and only! 06:27, 10 November 2012 (EST) I can bucket brake Sheik's, but not this. ShupaRoeh 08:18, 10 November 2012 (EST) Way more powerful!! The Awesome 08:27, 10 November 2012 (EST) I can easily say that I survived Light Arrow w/o MCing. Critical Hit... uh... not much luck. I love OHKO attacks! Smash Master 10:59, 10 November 2012 (EST) It's Marth. Besides, Zelda's is too quick and easy to miss with. SSBBNess (talk) 11:23, 10 November 2012 (EST) I don't like LoZ that I have such a tendency to pick on Legend of Zelda characters. But enough about that; Critical Hit rocks! When Marth catches someone with Critical Hit, you...Are...OUT OF HERE! I have a hunch the unreal attack strength of this final smash is on par with Tabuu's Off Waves. Good luck surviving such a colossal blow! Sakurai and his crew did something right, I'll tell you what. 67.166.229.4 14:48, 10 November 2012 (EST) This... is barely a contest. Critical Hit is just SO MUCH BETTER. Air Conditioner IИ SФVIЗT ЯЦSSIД, SIGЙДTЦЯЭ SIGИ УФЦ! 14:53, 10 November 2012 (EST) If only Ganon's health bar went down that low from a Light Arrow in Ocarina of Time. LightningBlue 22:56, 10 November 2012 (EST) Cooler. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 05:27, 11 November 2012 (EST) Better, realy.Heisei-Paratroopa (talk) 17:12, 11 November 2012 (EST) They're both awesome, but I like Marth, so Critical Hit it is.174.20.251.84 18:26, 11 November 2012 (EST) Fire Emblem. And it's just a better attack. Naked Snake 19:54, 11 November 2012 (EST) 'Dat ownage. 217.44.196.22 03:14, 12 November 2012 (EST) Marth is much cooler than zelda. This final smash is awesome.92.42.57.34 06:15, 12 November 2012 (EST)

Round 162: Flat Zone vs. Flat Zone 2

		Winner!! Flat Zone 17 to 14.5
The home stages of Superflat World are up in this bout. Which version of the land of LCDs will black out the other?
Votes for Flat Zone Flat Zone 2 was a bitch, especially with the blast lines. And even though I haven't played Melee, it looks like it has a better layout.-- PSIWolf The one and only! 10:35, 3 November 2012 (EDT) This stage doesn't change often unlike Flat Zone 2. Dots The Doom 10:38, 3 November 2012 (EDT) So much simpler.The Cheese 11:00, 3 November 2012 (EDT) Helmet, my favorite G&W game. Terrible is Thanksgiving 11:10, 3 November 2012 (EDT) Better song. Bandit 12:05, 3 November 2012 (EDT) The older the better. The Awesome 12:11, 3 November 2012 (EDT) --Havoc48 >:D!!! 12:54, 3 November 2012 (EDT) Smaller and simple for fun, quick matches. Unknown the Hedgehog 13:04, 3 November 2012 (EDT) Why can't they just make a Manhole-based one which allows for meteor smashes? Toast ltimatum 13:17, 3 November 2012 (EDT) Something about it makes it cooler. Shanderu 16:02, 3 November 2012 (EDT) Better music. Mr. Anontalk 16:55, 3 November 2012 (EDT) A world of pain awaits players in Flat Zone 2 with its constantly changing layout. Here, not so much. But...watch out for falling tools! 71.199.133.103 17:09, 3 November 2012 (EDT) This one is way more faithful. Flat Zone 2 is Pictochat level unfaithful. Supersmash4 (talk) 18:40, 3 November 2012 (EDT) Helmet is the shit! ShupaRoeh 19:48, 3 November 2012 (EDT) I always had good times with Melee. Smash Master 20:28, 3 November 2012 (EDT) I prefer the layout and music of this stage more. 110.174.90.69 22:23, 3 November 2012 (EDT) I'll give this one to Melee. 217.44.196.22 03:21, 5 November 2012 (EST)			Votes for Flat Zone 2 A toss up but the Fire and Chef stages seem more appealing. LightningBlue 12:23, 3 November 2012 (EDT) Has more games to showcase. 204.191.140.194 12:54, 3 November 2012 (EDT) I almost never play on Flat Zone because I find the music very disturbing. ChuckNorris 13:14, 3 November 2012 (EDT) New and improved! Air Conditioner Goo goo g'joob. 13:33, 3 November 2012 (EDT) [insert generic brawl is better than melee vote here] JamesHeart123 16:22, 3 November 2012 (EDT) This one changes and is way more fun. Nintendosega75 (talk) 14:57, 4 November 2012 (EST) MUCH better music. SSBBNess (talk) 09:10, 5 November 2012 (EST) 142.244.164.178 13:21, 5 November 2012 (EST) Pity vote. RickTommy 21:54, 6 November 2012 (EST) Just 'cause. 129.128.29.72 10:03, 8 November 2012 (EST) I have more experience with this stage, and Flat Zone 2's stage transformations cause it to be a slightly more lively stage compared to the relatively "static" Flat Zone 1. It would've been nice if both stages were present in SSB Brawl similar to how both Pokémon Stadiums 1 & 2 were present. Here's hoping both Flat Zone stages return for SSB4. Fenyx4 (talk) 22:46, 8 November 2012 (EST) The extremely close blast lines aren't quite as problematic here, and the stage as a whole is slightly more interesting. Still a terrible stage, but not quite as bad. Omega Tyrant 23:23, 8 November 2012 (EST) The music is what made me vote for this stage. =] Also, I never like playing on Flat Zone 1. =| 67.173.145.76 16:37, 9 November 2012 (EST) Half-votes Never played melee before and flat zone2 is epic go brawl. The changes are awesome and CPUs oftenSD on it I win the brawl woo! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.41.231 (talk • contribs) 15:05, 3 November 2012 I 'unno. I do like Flat Zone 2's music more, and its gimmicks make for some truly stupid fun. Hawk 21Talk 11:15, 3 November 2012 (EDT) flat zone two is awesome —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.148.204.222 (talk • contribs) 14:06, 8 November 2012 (EST)
Comments On the main page, the emblem for Flat Zone uses the Brawl Game & Watch emblem. Shouldn't it use the melee emblem as that stage was only in melee? ChuckNorris 20:59, 6 November 2012 (EST) I don't think it will make much of a diffrence. Terrible is Thanksgiving 21:04, 6 November 2012 (EST) You're right, it really wouldn't, but I felt like I should point it out. ChuckNorris 21:10, 6 November 2012 (EST)
