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.

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. 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 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 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.

Winner!!
undecided

~ to ~ to ~
These three incarnations of a legendary hero have battled each other previously, but now it's time for a group hug slug. Will it be the Hero of Time, Hero of Winds, or Hero of Twilight?

Votes for Link

  1. Yeah...never liked Link, but it saddens me to see he's never been a good character choice in Smash history. So...yeah, pity vote, this. 67.166.229.4 13:04, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  2. i dont really like any of them but link is the original and the other 2 are clones RoyalRapids (talk) 18:44, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  3. Have always preferred to play as the Adult Link. 110.174.90.69 06:27, 14 July 2013 (EDT)

  1. Link is the best! 107.211.34.20 14:07, 13 July 2013 (EDT)

Votes for Young Link

  1. I play OoT almost everyday just to hear Young Link's shouts and grunts. Call me weird but I do love them. -- Conny Airconny Snake Sig.png 00:06, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  2. What Conny said, add the fact that Majora's Mask is the best Zelda. DoctorPain99 00:08, 13 July 2013 (EDT)

I am vote. NutsBazooka

Votes for Toon Link

  1. Because I find him to be the most enjoyable to play as, and I like his cartoony style.71.105.121.171 00:07, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  2. Young Link is essentially an inferior Link, just like Pichu is an inferior Pikachu. Plus Toon Link is the only character of the three to be actually viable, and the only one to have an actually decent aerial game. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 08:21, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  3. Now while my favourite character as a character is Young Link, when we're voting on behalf of their Smash Bros. counterparts, surely my vote is obvious. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumA transparent image of Swadloon for my sig. 10:05, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  4. Just because Wind Waker is on Gamecube. Terrible is Terrible 13:19, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  5. He's Link, except actually usable.174.20.244.202 23:15, 13 July 2013 (EDT)
  6. Out of all 3 link incarnations, I think that toon link is the best and kind of stands out. To me, link was just that guy you'd play as after Mario, and I never thought young link was useful. But I enjoyed playing as toon link the most.TheAtomicFire (talk) 10:16, 14 July 2013 (EDT)
  7. One of my mains in Brawl.Tepig (talk) 19:59, 14 July 2013 (EDT)
  8. Wind Waker on Wii U! kirbyman (talk) 13:54, 15 July 2013 (EDT)
  9. The one I use in Smash. I need to actually play Wind Waker. JamesJH-Heartless.pngHeart 15:29, 15 July 2013 (EDT)
  10. Toon Link is my favorite character in Brawl. Link's inferior speed and air game is all but gone with this incarnation of Link. I love all of the changes made (except for decreased power and range): his damaging boomerang, the ever spammable floaty bow, and large blast range bombs are all welcome. Plus he can shoot TWO arrows in ONE short hop along with other techniques. The relatively weak kicks from the other version's aerials are replaced with sword slashes. The down aerial is a force to be reckoned with that increases Link's longevity, provides an option to deal with multiple grounded foes, and allows for powerful gimp KOs if performed right. He is by far the best version of Link. 173.58.244.205 23:08, 15 July 2013 (EDT)

Round 194: Articuno vs. Zapdos vs. Moltres

Articuno trophy from Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Zapdos trophy from Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Moltres trophy from Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Winner!!
Articuno
Articuno trophy from Super Smash Bros. Melee.

10 to 9 to 5
The three Legendary Birds control Kanto's weather and are top-tier legendaries in Melee. Which feathered forecast-flounderer flaunts fan favour?

Votes for Articuno

  1. Ew, not this fight. And how the fuck did Pichu win the last one? I have no faith in you guys. DoctorPain99 13:07, 6 July 2013 (EDT)
  2. Ice, which is Articunos type, is the coolest type. BRAWLS BoFSig.png OF BoFSig.pngFURY 13:16, 6 July 2013 (EDT)
  3. It's Ice, I mean, it's cool, am I right? -- Conny Airconny Snake Sig.png 13:46, 6 July 2013 (EDT)
  4. I'm partial to the cold and Articuno freezes enemies like popsicles and sends them flying to oblivion. 67.166.229.4 16:59, 6 July 2013 (EDT)
  5. Ice Ice Baby. Terrible is Terrible 10:49, 7 July 2013 (EDT)
  6. 75.31.4.16 16:37, 8 July 2013 (EDT)
  7. Articuno's the best. :] 24.1.115.173 20:14, 9 July 2013 (EDT)
  8. During gameplay, Zapdos is much worse than Articuno and Moltres, and then Articuno is my personal preference of those two. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumA transparent image of Swadloon for my sig. 20:29, 9 July 2013 (EDT)
  9. 173.79.214.38 21:16, 12 July 2013 (EDT)
  10. Just don't want Zapdos to win 67.142.166.23 22:55, 12 July 2013 (EDT)

Votes for Zapdos

  1. Fire-flying and Ice-flying have double weaknesses to rock (making Stealth Rock hazards very dangerous), whereas Electric-Flying gives Zapdos immunity from ground and cancels out an electric weakness. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 13:15, 6 July 2013 (EDT)
  2. Looks cooler imo. Scr7Wolfsig.png 13:19, 6 July 2013 (EDT)
  3. Stealth Rock, as Mr. Anon mentioned, is an extremely reliable move in competitive Pokémon. Articuno and Moltres would lose 50% health then because of double weakness to rock type attacks. Although Zapdos also has a weakness to rock type attacks, it only loses 25% of its health. In addition, I have to say its a pretty powerful special sweeper if you ask me. Dots MewtwoMS.png The Saxaphone 13:23, 6 July 2013 (EDT)
  4. It's a bird that doesn't get hurt by any electric types. Giratina 720Giratina720.png 13:36, 6 July 2013 (EDT)
  5. I've always been partial to electric types, and I'd be shocked if Zapdos didn't win. He'd never give a cold shoulder, and he's right in the middle of this heated debate. Pun, pun, pun. --HavocReaper48 15:44, 6 July 2013 (EDT)
  6. Now I was never hardcore about the 3 legendary birds, but just saying "Zapdos" just feels so metal. Plus, it's a thunderbird. THE Thunderbird.MegiBeelzebub This is an image of SCP 682. 17:07, 6 July 2013 (EDT)
  7. Come on guys. This is the ELECTRIC LEGENDARY BIRD. Even someone who doesn't know a thing about pokemon knows that electricity is better and stronger than fire and ice.TheAtomicFire (talk) 20:10, 6 July 2013 (EDT)
  8. Yay! Sonicmario22 (talk) 09:04, 8 July 2013 (EDT)
  9. Everybody Polkamon! ChuckNorrisFor usage in ChuckNorris24's signature. 16:58, 9 July 2013 (EDT)

Votes for Moltres

  1. Zapdos is by far my pokemon out of these three (and was my favorite overall before Tyranitar). But when it comes to being a pokeball pokemon in Smash, Moltres stomps the other two. Flaming OHKOs every single time, you just can't match that. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 13:53, 6 July 2013 (EDT)
  2. Moltres is my favorite of these three. Only Lugia matches Moltres in terms of KO power.Boo Buddy (talk) 14:04, 6 July 2013 (EDT)
  3. I like fire. Btw do Wii Fit Trainer Vs. PKMN Trainer. --Dinoboy411 (talk) 22:05, 6 July 2013 (EDT)
  4. Strongest of the three. Articuno does not have a one hit ko attack and Zapdos is unlikely to ko an opponent at all.71.118.254.198 20:44, 7 July 2013 (EDT)
  5. Despite being a Pokémon fan, I don't have any preferences here, so I figured I'd vote for the one who'd end up in last place.71.105.121.171 16:48, 11 July 2013 (EDT)

Comments

Dinoboy, you're supposed to suggest ideas here. Scr7Wolfsig.png 04:43, 7 July 2013 (EDT)

In a 3-way match, what happens if two of the three participants are at equal number of votes? Dots MewtwoMS.png The Donkey Kong 21:20, 12 July 2013 (EDT)

I'm guessing that it counts as a tie for that placement. In this case, in the event that no other votes go to Articuno or Zapdos, we wiil have a tie for first place, while Moltres earns third place. Likewise, it is possible to have a winner in a 3-way match with both of the other contenders taking last place. I hope this helps in any way, Dots.71.105.121.171 21:53, 12 July 2013 (EDT)

I kinda want to see a two way tie in a three participant match.173.79.214.38 23:00, 12 July 2013 (EDT)
