Round 126: Koopa Troop vs. R.O.B. Squad

		Winner!! Koopa Troop 18 to 8
Bowser's goons face off against the artificial lifeforms of the Isle of Ancients. Which army triumphs?
Votes for Koopa Troop I love these guys. 204.191.136.150 00:12, 18 February 2012 (EST) I like to jump on these guys. THEAVENGINGBANDIT 01:06, 18 February 2012 (EST) Mario. Enough said. The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 05:20, 18 February 2012 (EST) Old barely functioning robots< Awesome Turtles Of SmashDrakon64 08:30, 18 February 2012 (EST) Because I made the Koopa Troop article Because they're adorable! Plus, R.O.B. Launchers are annoying. Toast ltimatum 08:51, 18 February 2012 (EST) I've always been a huge fan of the Mario games. MeleeMarth01Minna, miteite edit! 10:52, 18 February 2012 (EST) Jump on them and they become a usefull green shell! Plus when you stomp a paratroopa their wings fall, then they!99.235.62.184 11:22, 18 February 2012 (EST) ..... The Smiles and Tears 11:45, 18 February 2012 (EST) Hammer bros., goombas, koopa troopas? What's more to love??? LightningBlue: Need to Balance 11:52, 18 February 2012 (EST) GO GO KOOPA TROOP!YoshiEggs 15:18, 18 February 2012 (EST) The R.O.B. squad have virtually no free will and are forced to detonate Subspace Bombs on Ganondorf's command. Even though the Koopa Troop are under Bowser's command, they still have free will so they're not limited to certain actions. 110.174.90.69 20:25, 18 February 2012 (EST) I can't smash you like badniks, but you're just as much fun to jump on! (That comes from a Sonic the Hedgehog comic. Very fitting right now.)174.20.246.52 20:36, 18 February 2012 (EST) Generally harder to beat imo. Mr. Anontalk 22:36, 18 February 2012 (EST) ROBs are just so generic, Koopa Troops have nice pallets.69.234.197.219 22:41, 18 February 2012 (EST) Come on, these guys are classics! Yoshirocks341 09:28, 19 February 2012 (EST) The Koopa Troop is unstoppable...Unless you're Mario or Luigi. 9:50,19 Feburary 2012 Super Mario! --Fan275 15:51, 19 February 2012 (EST) Yeah, no contest. 67.173.145.76 21:12, 19 February 2012 (EST)			Votes for R.O.B. Squad Robots. Your argument is irrelevant. --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 00:28, 18 February 2012 (EST) HAIL BLECK!...Wait, what? 123JamesHeart 15:30, 18 February 2012 (EST) Pity vote. I mean really, you gotta feel bad for these guys. They end up dying for evil maniacs and well, they all die in the end anyway. So what about the koopa troop? nothing really. Kopykirby26 (talk) 12:15, 19 February 2012 (EST) Don't really have a clue how a bunch of turtles can trump these guys. YOU'RE FIRED. Takava (talk) 00:02, 20 February 2012 (EST) Those troopas get really annoying when you're just trying to speed through a level for one secret door at the end or something, ROBs don't really get in your way. Plus, I feel sorry for how they're being used. Unlike the troopas, who are obviously just stupid or something to keep coming back for more anyway.184.7.175.220 18:20, 20 February 2012 (EST) I feel bad for these guys. 199.185.67.18 11:03, 21 February 2012 (EST) Er, what ROB Squad votes #1 and #5 said. Plus, while ROB Squad members can be obstacles at times, they're not nearly as annoying as the nefarious Koopa Troopa nuisances. Although admittedly, the Koopa Troopa are quite fun to jump on, what with their shells whizzing about this way and that and slamming into other foes. And the names of both of these groups are fun/awesome to say aloud. XD 72.3.33.4 15:49, 23 February 2012 (EST) R.O.B. is the definiton of cool. BlindColours 16:12, 23 February 2012 (EST)
Comments I don't think the Banana cargo picture is proper for the Koopa troop. ..... The Smiles and Tears 00:16, 18 February 2012 (EST) I didn't have enough time to create a proper image. Toomai Glittershine The Bold 08:56, 18 February 2012 (EST) I replaced the Cargo image with a more appropriate one. Mousehunter321 (talk · contributions) 22:00, 23 February 2012 (EST) I vote for Subspace Army; i see no reason why there are 2 sets of series specific grunts, and not more? (and why are there 2 third party characters and not ZERO LIKE THERE SHOULD BE!?!?!) PokémonUltimateLet's Play! 03:21, 18 February 2012 (EST) Don't worry. Zero will be in SSB4. If not by inclusion, then by custom creation.Drakon64 08:32, 18 February 2012 (EST) I don't think Pokémonultimate was referring to the character Zero -__- Toast ltimatum 08:45, 18 February 2012 (EST) The number 0. I think he means that the third party characters (my guess Sonic from Sega and Snake from Konami) are not for Nintendo LightningBlue: Need to Balance 11:55, 18 February 2012 (EST) Great choice for a fight; both can be annoying and the latter group sometimes seem overshadowed by other Smash Bros. elements/characters... 72.3.33.4 15:51, 23 February 2012 (EST)

Round 127: Ike vs. Olimar

		Winner!! Ike 16.5 to 14
One fights for his friends, the other fights with his friends. Which commander will emerge victorious?
Votes for Ike Sothe. Your argument is irrelevant. --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 00:08, 25 February 2012 (EST) Olimar: (watches as Pikmin spirits float away); Ike: "You'll get no sympathy from me. MeleeMarth01Minna, miteite edit! 00:18, 25 February 2012 (EST) as much as I dislike Ike, the other is really pathetic without an army of pikmin.Drakon64 00:21, 25 February 2012 (EST) Though Pikmin 2 was one of the best games for the GCN, Ike is a main in Brawl. MegaTron1XD 00:47, 25 February 2012 (EST) Pikmin may be strong as an army, but they're not nearly durable enough to survive a sword slash. 110.174.90.69 09:12, 25 February 2012 (EST) WE LIKE IKE! YoshiEggs 09:45, 25 February 2012 (EST) I can control Ike better and me and my friend are always Ike in Brawl. GREAT AETHER!!!!!(Plus in the first cutscene with Olimar, the Pikimin are dancing on a gigantic ROB. Pathetic.)99.235.62.184 11:14, 25 February 2012 (EST) He risks his own life rather than risking others (in this game at least). 204.191.136.150 12:20, 25 February 2012 (EST) "Ike is my favorite character in ssbb. because he rocks especially when I uses he's final smash."Smash X 5432 (talk) 18:19, 25 February 2012 (EST) I have a love-hate relationship with him, I love playing as him for fun, but hate playing against him!Yoshirocks341 19:14, 25 February 2012 (EST) "I'm the only Playboy in this game!" LightningBlue: Need to Balance 20:49, 25 February 2012 (EST) Merely because Radiant Dawn is awesome. 68.174.13.184 21:26, 25 February 2012 (EST) Two words. Great Aether.174.20.246.52 10:46, 26 February 2012 (EST) 199.185.67.18 11:02, 27 February 2012 (EST) Quick Draw and Counter rock, which added to his power, makes him a lethal fighter. Meta Ike 20:53, 28 February 2012 (EST) All taunts, all victory poses (Japanese and English dialogue. 2 of which are excellently meme-worthy), all special attacks, the Great Aether Final Smash (meme-worthy in Japanese), the BFS Ragnell, his grunts/growls while attacking in the Japanese version of SSB Brawl (though English voice is good), and *FULLY-CHARGED FORWARD-SMASH*. A very awesome fighter who also wields TEH FIRE and bravely carries Roy's legacy onward (and hopefully, Ike and Roy will fight alongside each other and Marth in SSB4). Opposing arguments are clearly irrelevant. 72.3.33.16 15:00, 1 March 2012 (EST) Half votes Ike is a much stronger fighter. He does more damage, has more knockback, is much more sturdy and less likely to get knocked off, thereby giving him more survivability and more lethality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.20.221.160 (talk • contribs) 04:03, 29 February 2012			Votes for Olimar Olimar is a better leader in my opinion. Blue Ninjakoopa(Talk) 00:37, 25 February 2012 (EST) Olimar is my main. Specifically the Blue colouration, Similarimar. And out of each of these guys' merceneries, which are the real troopers? Toast ltimatum 07:19, 25 February 2012 (EST) Pikmin 2 is my favorite game of all time. And I am no longer in the middle of a playthrough of Path of Radiance, so Olimar's got the vote. --174.59.4.202 10:25, 25 February 2012 (EST) Olimar has a great leadership with Pikmin and can probably defeat anything. And he is a HIGHER TIER. Ike is my least favorite character in Brawl and he's shows off too much just because he's popular. How good you are is determined by character like Olimar, not by showing off. ..... The Baneling 10:47, 25 February 2012 (EST) anyone that can enslave an entire alien race is awesome. Floor2000x (talk) 11:37, 25 February 2012 (EST) Brawl-wise, Ike wins. Game-wise, Olimar wins. --Fan275 12:48, 25 February 2012 (EST) I play as "the plant guy" more often than I play as Ike, which is still very little. That, and I know more about his games. 123JamesHeart 20:24, 25 February 2012 (EST) This is for last time, Ike should not have beat Meta Knight.184.7.173.62 21:03, 25 February 2012 (EST) Haven't played Fire Emblem. Mr. Anontalk 22:33, 25 February 2012 (EST) I'm going to vote for Olimar, 'cause I have something against Ike...XD Hoverwind2 At your service dude! 00:17, 28 February 2012 (EST) Bought Pikmin 2 from a close friend for £5, BARGAIN! loved it ever since! Sonicsidekick95 05:05, 29 February 2012 (EST) I use Olimar more than Ike. n_n 67.173.145.76 01:16, 1 March 2012 (EST) i like olimar. 69.135.192.27 16:57, 1 March 2012 (EST) Half votes I'd vote for Steve, but since I cant I guess I'll vote for his assistant, Olimar —Preceding unsigned comment added by Masklover64 (talk • contribs) 21:23, 29 February 2012‎ (EST) Well, since I'm slightly better with Olimar... Also, Olimar is Mario backwards :D Accoolx (talk) 19:19, 2 March 2012 (EST)
Comments Well somebody has been watching too much Smash Taunts huh?Drakon64 00:23, 25 February 2012 (EST) The joke originates from Brawl Taunts right? Mr. Anontalk 22:34, 25 February 2012 (EST) I completely agree Smash X! His final smash is EPIC!!! Try it in slow motion and you'll see he kicks twice! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.235.62.184 (talk • contribs) 15:41, 26 February 2012 (EST) Wait which comment are you refering to? LightningBlue: Need to Balance 13:51, 26 February 2012 (EST) Smash X 5432's comment. Toast ltimatum 14:24, 26 February 2012 (EST) Heh-heh, Brawl Taunts reference? Nice choice of a poll/fight, although it would have been nice if Pokémon Trainer (Red) was included as well, since his friends fight for him as well (more-so, since Pokémon Trainer never actually receives damage himself during a fight, unlike Olimar who is subject to direct damage and has to physically be in the battlefield "fighting area"). 72.3.33.16 15:00, 1 March 2012 (EST) Ike has fought Pokémon Trainer in a one-on-one fight before. Toast ltimatum 15:05, 1 March 2012 (EST) Brawl taunts "reference"? The actual words are: "Well, my friends fight...for me." LightningBlue: Need to Balance 19:13, 2 March 2012 (EST) That is what Olimar said in brawl taunts because he commands and the Pikmin fights for him. ..... The Pikachu 19:57, 2 March 2012 (EST) Hmm Brawl Taunts, didn't remember that they had done something like that. Toomai Glittershine The Trumpeteer 23:54, 2 March 2012 (EST)

Round 128: Motion-Sensor Bomb vs. Gooey Bomb

		Winner!! Motion-Sensor Bomb 20 to 8.5
They both stick to terrain and explode, but one is stronger and has a three-game history (not including its original existance in the good ol' days of Rareware), while the other is on a timer and will happily stick to people as they scramble around looking for a tag. Which proximity detonation device has the bigger upside?
Votes for Motion-Sensor Bomb Hard to see when placed. 204.191.132.187 23:55, 2 March 2012 (EST) The Gooey Bomb is just weird. 123JamesHeart 00:13, 3 March 2012 (EST) The Proximity Mine is better, no questions asked. And it works better, too. RickTommy (talk) 00:49, 3 March 2012 (EST) Motion Sensor Bomb seems to have far better knockback in my opinion. 110.174.90.69 01:34, 3 March 2012 (EST) Really? Comparing Kirby's nut with this? These things are badass. With the Gooey Bomb all you do is dodge all around randomly and you're safe, but with Motion Sensor Bombs, you don't even need its explosion to kill people, you can just throw the thing at them. Anthony1996 (talk) 04:55, 3 March 2012 (EST) Easier to go undetected. Accoolx (talk) 08:24, 3 March 2012 (EST) Ahh good old Goldeneye 007 days. ..... The Pikachu 11:31, 3 March 2012 (EST) The only bomb in Brawl you can't accidentally KABLAMMO by attacking it, and also CPU's don't understand the concept of jumping over the Motion-Sensor Bomb. Also, I don't get why a 14g lump of aliminium can have such knockback when thrown at someone else. Toast ltimatum 12:40, 3 March 2012 (EST) Harder to see, and a trap for CPUs, even at the higher levels. MeleeMarth01 15:35, 3 March 2012 (EST) No competition. This is an epic item and though I only have Brawl it will not disapear as certain items do. (Bumpers, pokeballs, assistist trophies etc.)99.235.62.184 16:03, 3 March 2012 (EST) Throwing these at a wall is very deadly. Anyways these are difficult to detect if you lost track of them. Also has more power to them. One final thing, the Gooey Bomb can backfire if an opponent sticks in on you. LightningBlue: Need to Balance 17:14, 3 March 2012 (EST) These are one of my favorite bombs, because there sneaky and deadly. It's also an effective bomb (not as much as Bomb-omb though). --SSBfan1239 (talk) 18:17, 3 March 2012 (EST) YoshiEggs 18:55, 4 March 2012 (EST) SUCH a satisfying kill. --174.59.4.202 19:21, 4 March 2012 (EST) No one will ever see it. Including you. FUN!174.20.246.52 20:29, 4 March 2012 (EST) You'll never notice it. --Fan275 01:26, 5 March 2012 (EST) Awesomeness. Hoverwind2 at your service dude! 11:55, 5 March 2012 (EST) "motion-sentencer-bombs are my favorite item in all 3 super smash bros. it's main task is to blown you up sky high!!!"Smash X 5432 (talk) 15:35, 5 March 2012 (EST) 'Twas difficult for me to choose, but I ultimately decided on this one. :D 67.173.145.76 15:07, 7 March 2012 (EST) Cherrim98Talk 19:41, 7 March 2012 (EST)			Votes for Gooey Bomb Makes matches a heck of a lot more chaotic. ;) Takava (talk) 00:30, 3 March 2012 (EST) I kinda think its more fun to run around trying to re-stick it to someone or avoid that person yourself.184.7.168.34 07:50, 3 March 2012 (EST) More fun. Plus, it's easy to avoid a Motion-Sensor Bomb, but a Gooey Bomb? NO. Meta Ike 10:45, 3 March 2012 (EST) Hot potato...hot potato, hot potato... --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 17:02, 3 March 2012 (EST) I like them both, but Gooey Bomb has a Brawl In The Family comic. Ten, in fact. 68.174.11.24 17:20, 3 March 2012 (EST) Brawl in the Family FTW :) Besides, it becomes really funny when someone goes into panic mode when they find theres a sticky explosive thing attached to them Kopykirby26 (talk) 19:12, 3 March 2012 (EST) Way harder to avoid, you have to keep on moving, although, I kill my teammates too often with these...Yoshirocks341 09:24, 4 March 2012 (EST) 199.185.67.18 11:07, 5 March 2012 (EST) Half votes Gooey bombs make things a lot more hectic than the motion sensor bombs. It's fun sticking my enemy with a gooey bomb and running away frantically. -MILK!—Preceding unsigned comment added by MILK! (talk • contribs) 00:49, 4 March 2012
Comments Being the 128th round, you'd think there'd be something special, something Melee-related - since the 64th round was all of the SSB64 characters, I was expecting this one to be all of the Melee characters. Could we perhaps do that next week, even if it is belated? RickTommy (talk) 00:49, 3 March 2012 (EST) 64th was due to it being for the Nintendo 64. Melee is not called Super Smash Bros. 128, is it? The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 05:07, 3 March 2012 (EST) Even Round 64's 12 combatants was a serious stretch of the format (the page was hard to navigate through and a pain to format). Without a paradigm shift I don't intend to do a round any bigger than that. Toomai Glittershine The SMASH-GINEER 09:30, 3 March 2012 (EST) Besides, I don't think there is going to be a game named Super Smash Bros. 128 anyways. ..... The Dark Templar 11:37, 3 March 2012 (EST) Certainly not all the Melee characters, but perhaps the five who didn't make it back for Brawl? Toast ltimatum 12:36, 3 March 2012 (EST) You try and format a five-combatant round without skinny columns or asymmetricality. Not worth the hassle in my opinion, at least not as of this time. Toomai Glittershine The Awesome 12:48, 3 March 2012 (EST) I think RickTommy is refering to the amount of bits in the GCN system (128). I don't know this for sure. LightningBlue: Need to Balance 17:15, 3 March 2012 (EST) Quite a lot of BitF fans in here, huh? AccoolX File:Accoolx.png 13:49, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Round 129: King of the Mountain vs. Super Bowser Bros.

File:E11m-KotM.jpg		Winner!! Super Bowser Bros. 3.5 to 18.5
Two events involving survival on a scrolling stage against a bunch of natives. Will the vertical or horizontal move into the top spot?
Votes for King of the Mountain Nothing like chilling in the precipice, the Ace Glacier, that is Icicle Mountain. Some people gave it a frosty reception, others just gave it the cold shoulder, but I think it's cool. Toast ltimatum 13:16, 10 March 2012 (EST) Just because of the vote above me. 67.173.145.76 14:19, 10 March 2012 (EST) Playing Melee now, this was a bit more interesting. Takava (talk) 19:56, 14 March 2012 (EDT) Half votes 1: you need less time to finish. 2: You get to CHOOSE your character, as opposed to being Bowser (one of my worst...) 3: Ice > Bricks & sand. 4: This side needs some slack, as for now it is 3-15. 5: Vote #1. King of the Mountain for the win. (Though it will lose...) Meta Ike 22:20, 12 March 2012 (EDT)			Votes for Super Bowser Bros. Man, this is the weirdest competition yet. I think i'll go for Bowser Bros. since it isn't completely annoying like KotM is. --Fan275 12:34, 10 March 2012 (EST) Sorry, Toast, but I'll let you know that one of my sworn enemies is puns. --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 13:23, 10 March 2012 (EST) It's SMB with a twist.

Anyway, this one puts a nice spin on things as it pits Bowser in the "protagonist" role that he's not often seen in. 72.3.33.8 21:18, 12 March 2012 (EDT) Bowser is one of my best characters to play as, and just because I like this one. --SSBfan1239 (talk) 10:22, 13 March 2012 (EDT) Vertical movement stages remind me of Rumble Falls Floor2000x (talk) 19:31, 14 March 2012 (EDT) What Accoolx said.
