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. 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.

Brawl Minus vs. Project M

		Winner!! undecided ~ to ~
The two most popular mods of Brawl, one geared towards balance and Melee style, the other designed for zany shenanigans and overall ludicrousness. Which has more support?
Votes for Brawl Minus Hey Brawl? Want some steroids? Dots The Gold 12:37, 9 February 2013 (EST) Samus's Final Smash doesn't force her to transform, and you can move Snake while he's in his box. JamesHeart 13:22, 9 February 2013 (EST) 204.191.134.186 13:49, 9 February 2013 (EST)			Votes for Project M DK with a Franklin Badge or DK with L-Canceling? Hm... LightningBlue 12:55, 9 February 2013 (EST) Sounds cooler I guess. 151.227.174.8 13:44, 9 February 2013 (EST)
Comments Can't decide, both are really good. Terrible is a Valentine 12:39, 9 February 2013 (EST)

Round 174: Samus vs. Pit

		Winner!! Tie 17.5 to 17.5
They fight at range, they take hiatuses, and they deal with hard-to-kill head-sucking jellyfish. Which jump-and-shoot legendary hero will get the flank?
Votes for Samus I like to blast off enemies! ShupaRoeh 00:48, 2 February 2013 (EST) She has a cannon for an arm! Who dosn't want that? --GameWinter (talk) 08:40, 2 February 2013 (EST) I don't see a connection between these two, to be honest, but Samus is better when it comes down to projectiles.

BRAWLS OF FURY 17:29, 6 February 2013 (EST) The Power Suit makes Samus look bad to the bone. ChuckNorris 09:02, 8 February 2013 (EST) Half-votes Because Pit is just a old stupid, which never deserved it's place in Brawl. And Metroid Blast is very fun. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.82.134.111 (talk • contribs) 07:58, 9 February 2013 (EST)			Votes for Pit The fight is on! Nuff said. Dots The Musician 00:59, 2 February 2013 (EST) Arrows are super spammable. 204.191.140.194 01:25, 2 February 2013 (EST) Samus, you're not ready yet!

Comments Samus is losing?! (This fight makes no sense, to be honest. Then again, I haven't played the combatants' games) Fedorakeeby11 (talk) 09:01, 3 February 2013 (EST) If you played the NES Metroid and Kid Icarus games, you'd understand. Toast ltimatum 14:12, 3 February 2013 (EST) If Snake has a Smash Taunt picking on Kid Icarus' difficulty, I don't want to play it! Fedorakeeby11 (talk) 15:00, 3 February 2013 (EST) It's serious stuff dude, I'm only on level 2! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.31.4.16 (talk • contribs) 11:48, 4 February 2013 (EST)
