Forum:Smash Arena Suggestions

Forums: Index → Smash Arena → Smash Arena Suggestions

This forum has the purpose of helping to select what battles will eventually take place in the Smash Arena. If you would like to make a suggestion, please feel free to leave it here. New suggestions are placed at the bottom of the page. Be sure to state your reason you suggested it and put the support, reject, and comments sections underneath it.

Like the idea? Be sure to give it your support. Note that this page is not to be used for the actual voting between fighters; that happens in the Arena itself. Remember, the combatants don't necessarily have to be able to fight each other normally in Smash Bros.

Rules

• The SA operator(s) has final say over all the fights. Suggestions and comments are merely a way for the community to influence the fights.
• Sign your suggestions/votes/comments with ~~~~ and a # in front of it (you don't necessarily have to put # in the comments sections, but you do have to sign with ~~~~).
• Don't vote for your own suggestion. You automatically vote for it if you suggest it.
• Do not post more than one suggestion at a time. Each user may post one suggestion per week.
• Post why you support/oppose. Don't just say, "Oh, this is a cool idea". Explain why you like/don't like the fight.
• You can remove your own suggestion, but it still counts as your suggestion for that week.
• Similarly to the above, you cannot edit a suggestion once people have started to vote on it. Editing the description is fine; just don't replace, add, or remove combatants.
• Descriptions are not guaranteed to be included as-is should a suggestion pass.
• Place new suggestions at the bottom of the page.
• Do not use this page to argue with other users over their reasons and opinions. You can civilly point out an inconsistency or mistake in their description, but if you say things like, "That's stupid", that could potentially start an argument in the comments, you are breaching this rule.
• The comments section is to be used for relevant comments.
• Check this list to view the fights that have been done. Repeat fights are permitted if they occurred 100 or more rounds ago. As matchups over 100 rounds ago are moved off that particular list, the list is the definitive source on what can't be repeated.
• Suggestions are purged every time a new Smash Arena round is posted. It is at this time they are either accepted and placed into the queue, or they are rejected. Not all suggestions are purged at once.
  • In the vein of the above, do not repost a suggestion of yours that has been removed recently, since it's either already lined up or been rejected. See the Queue section for an idea of how long it may take for your suggestion to show up.
• If a suggestion of yours has been rejected in the past, you may repost it three months (90 days) after its rejection. However, it is unlikely for a rejected suggestion to be accepted in the future, so it is likely more productive to suggest something else.
• Only Smash Bros.-related fights are permitted. Fights don't have to be between playable characters, but the combatants must have appeared in at least one Smash Bros. game.
• Acceptance of fights is not based simply on votes. The votes are used to judge the community's opinion of the matchup; again it is solely the operator(s)'s decision on what the bouts are.
• If there are already 10 open suggestions, you should probably reconsider adding a new one. If there are 15, it is highly recommended you do not. There is no limit to the number of open suggestions, but having too many clutters the page and makes it more difficult to keep track of.
• Finally, do not make this page into the Smash Arena itself. This is for deciding what goes there, not voting on the winner.

Tips

• In most cases, the combatants of a match should share similarities but have key differences. However, matchups between total opposites are also interesting. Avoid the middle ground where combatants have little in common but are also not polar opposites.
• Protagonist vs. antagonist matches (e.g. Mario vs. Bowser) are valid, and many of them succeed in the arena, but are usually pushed aside by the community in favour of matchups that are less "obvious". Matchups born from in-game events (e.g. Subspace Emissary groupings) or matchups that are big in their home universes but not necessarily in Smash Bros. (e.g. legendary Pokémon fights) tend to fall into this as well.
• Regular matches (one-on-one) are favoured more than three-way fights. If you have an idea for a three-way fight, see if one of the three combatants is really necessary. Fights of more than three participants have to be exceptional in order to be selected, and will likely be reserved for special rounds, so don't try too hard to make one work.
• The description can sway peoples' opinions of a matchup. While the most interesting suggestions can be accepted on their own merits, those in the middle can be made or broken by how you present them.

Queue

The current queue is as such:

257

258

259

260

261

262

263

264

265

Hover the cursor over a round number to see its predicted start date. Empty spots are shown in grey.

When the queue becomes full (all the grey spots are filled up), suggestions will be suspended. You may continue to vote on current suggestions, but no more may be proposed. Once the queue drains out to a size of one, suggestions will be re-opened.

The queue is not set in stone; new suggestions may appear before older ones and it may change at any time. The queue is designed to attempt to balance out fights so that participants or universes aren't used too much in a short time.

The contents of the queue are a secret to maintain mystery and intrigue.

Suggestions

Knee Smash vs. Lightning Kick

Two iconic aerial attacks that both have an electrifying sweetspot, and immense KO power, while being pathetically weak if not landed properly. Which is the superior aerial for thunderous KOs? Omega Tyrant 23:27, 13 April 2012 (EDT)

Support

1. I fear this could be one-sided, maybe Knee Smash vs. Falcon Punch would be better in that respect, but this is good in its own right regardless, and I'd welcome it into the Smash Arena. Toast ltimatum 08:25, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
2. Interesting...two f-airs...I like it. MeleeMarth01 11:49, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
3. 199.185.67.18 11:07, 16 April 2012 (EDT)
4. Why not I suppose204.191.132.218 19:00, 16 April 2012 (EDT)

Marth vs. Lucas

At the time of Brawl, these two had only starred in Japanese games, and Smash Bros. was the way for them to step into localised territory. Which JRPG star is more popular? Toast ltimatum 08:25, 14 April 2012 (EDT)

Support

1. An odd fight, but I feel that somehing like this would be great for the arena. MeleeMarth01 11:49, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
2. Per MeleeMarth01. 123JamesHeart 12:16, 14 April 2012 (EDT)

Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Cresselia

Three Sinnoh legendaries collide! Which Pokémon will out-battle the others? MeleeMarth01 11:49, 14 April 2012 (EDT)

Support

1. I think it's an interesting idea for a 3-way fight. They all appear as stage hazards on Spear Pillar, all can affect gameplay. Yeah, I like this idea. 67.173.145.76 12:23, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
2. Cool204.191.132.218 19:00, 16 April 2012 (EDT)

Comments

Hmm. 3-way fights should be rarities, so maybe Cresselia could be exempted, but at the same time, others might find this fight lacking without her. So I'm neutral. Toast ltimatum 11:55, 14 April 2012 (EDT)

Fire Flower vs. Lip's Stick

The clash of two flower items! Will the flame-spewing flower or the status-inducing stick come out on top? 123JamesHeart 12:16, 14 April 2012 (EDT)

Support

1. The description says it all. Two items, that are also flowers. I needn't ask for more. Toast ltimatum 12:17, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
2. Per Toast. DarkFox01 14:07, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
3. Go flower power! toadat9021doh 19:32, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

Groudon vs Kyogre

They have a feud going on in the games they're from, so... 204.191.132.218 12:19, 14 April 2012 (EDT)

Support

1. And about time too. Get this up straight away. Toast ltimatum 13:38, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
2. Finally! DarkFox01 14:07, 14 April 2012 (EDT)

4. Oh boy. Ruby/Sapphire battles. Nice choice.LightningBlue: LBPeep 19:11, 16 April 2012 (EDT)
5. Great idea. All I have to say. King KirbyD 15:15, 17 April 2012 (EDT)

Delfino Plaza vs. Port Town Aero Dive

Both are Brawl stages that stop at various locations in their land. The major difference between these two is the atmospheres they have. Will the peaceful Plaza or fast-paced Port Town get the victory? toadat9021doh 20:42, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

Support

1. Happiness vs. Intensity. I'd like to see this match. 123JamesHeart 22:15, 15 April 2012 (EDT)
2. 199.185.67.18 11:07, 16 April 2012 (EDT)
3. I was thinking of suggesting Delfino Plaza vs. Princess Peach's Castle, but this is better. Toast ltimatum 16:40, 16 April 2012 (EDT)
4. 204.191.132.218 19:00, 16 April 2012 (EDT)

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Main Theme vs. Super Smash Bros. Melee Opening

The main theme song for Brawl and Melee. Which one will be better music? Stranger 1260 06:43, 16 April 2012 (EDT)

Oppose

1. [1] Toast ltimatum 16:40, 16 April 2012 (EDT)

Comments

I feel that a intro battle is much better than an intro song battle. MegaTron1XD 12:00, 16 April 2012 (EDT)

I'm not sure if this suggestion is valid, as a three-way battle involving these two was held in round 100 (less than 100 rounds ago). Toomai Glittershine The Spark 13:54, 16 April 2012 (EDT)

Super Sonic vs. Super Dragon

Two super Final Smashes collide! Will the hedgehog's unrivaled speed beat the dragon's unrivaled firepower? King KirbyD 23:03, 16 April 2012 (EDT)

Support

1. Two pretty iconic final smashes. 123JamesHeart 16:06, 17 April 2012 (EDT)

Star Fox Smash Taunt vs. Snake's Smash Taunt

Both are Smash Taunts and they are needed to activate in specific places. The content of it will change depending on the location and the character. Which one do you think is a better Smash Taunt? Kirbysuperstar (talk) 09:32, 17 April 2012 (EDT)

Support

1. This is nice and original, I'll support. Toast ltimatum 11:57, 17 April 2012 (EDT)
2. This could prove interesting. 123JamesHeart 16:06, 17 April 2012 (EDT)
3. Interesting 199.185.67.18 11:05, 18 April 2012 (EDT)
