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.
  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. 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.

Winner!!

It's time for a bout with speedy rodents. They're agile, less rotund than a few years ago, and have similar Final Smashes - which quick-attacker wins?

Votes for Pikachu

  8. I'm poor with both of these characters, and I don't particularly enjoy playing as either. However, Pichu is my Melee main, so eh. Oh sorry, you wanted a humorous vote?

  2. Hey Pikachu, you don't have a bunch of moves that are the same, but you're too slow! Also, you're a Pokemon, which is never a good thing. Supersmash4 (talk) 12:19, 22 September 2012 (EDT)
  3. Because Genesis does what Nintendon't! BlindColours Boing.png 17:32, 22 September 2012 (EDT)

Half Votes

  1. Haven't heard the SSB one, and preferred the SSBB one to the SSBM one. I'm assuming that this is the Brawl one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davsto (talkcontribs) 10:25, 2012 September 15‎

Next time we should do a Smash Arena with users... (ex. Bandit vs Dots) FishPlay This will be used on my signature 20:59, 14 September 2012 (EDT)

I agree, but every match that had me in it would be one sided, probably because I'm one of the most disliked users here >:( Bandit 21:05, 14 September 2012 (EDT)
One, suggestions go here, and two, a match with users would never pass suggestions anyway. Air Conditioner Image for Accoolx's signature. I get by with a little help from my friends! 21:06, 14 September 2012 (EDT)
Actually I'm probably even worse. :P And I don't think this is a proper suggestion. Dots The Laser Ninten's sprite from Mother/EarthBound Zero, formerly used in Dots's signature. 23:50, 14 September 2012 (EDT)

Why are the votes for the second and third guys in the same box? 24.168.110.196 09:15, 15 September 2012 (EDT)

Because someone decided to remove the division between them instead of putting its vote in the right place. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Chilled 09:45, 15 September 2012 (EDT)
XD Direct Linking. Come on Toomai why u no like direct linking? LightningBlueFrom Bulbapedia 17:06, 15 September 2012 (EDT)

ToastUltimatum, what the heck are you talking about? RickTommy (talk) 19:55, 15 September 2012 (EDT)

[1] Air Conditioner Image for Accoolx's signature. Keep cool! 20:42, 15 September 2012 (EDT)
SSBM and SSBB are tied :o Finnick (talk) 03:55, 17 September 2012 (EDT)

I was wrong, when he says "A NEW RECORD!", that's the greatest GameCube moment ever. No matter who does the announcer's voice next, they need to use Melee's "A NEW RECORD!". It's so thrilling hearing that after finally completing a Target Test you've been working on for days. Supersmash4 (talk) 23:57, 18 September 2012 (EDT)

I would agree with this statement. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 11:56, 19 September 2012 (EDT)
Ditto. Smash Master 14:35, 19 September 2012 (EDT)
