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

Posting suggestions

• 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.
• 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.
• 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. Note that repeats close to this cutoff may still be valid if the queue is full enough that the fight's acceptance will allow it to be outside the 100-round zone.
• Do not post more than one suggestion at a time. Each user may post one suggestion per week (i.e. one every seven days).
• 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 ~~~~).
• Place new suggestions at the bottom of the page.
• You can retract and 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 alter the combatants.

Voting and comments

• Don't vote on your own suggestion.
• Post why you support/oppose. Don't just say, "Oh, this is a cool idea". Explain why you like/don't like the fight. This is not required but adds credence to your opinion - remember, suggestions are not accepted or rejected based on a simple vote count.
• The comments section is to be used for relevant comments only.
• 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.
• Do not make this page into the Smash Arena itself. This is for deciding what goes there, not voting on the winner.

Acceptance or rejection

• 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, and can be used, edited, or ignored at the operator(s)'s discretion.
• 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.
• 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 - only those that are both older than the rest and have higher vote counts. Usually suggestions need at least 5 votes to be decided upon, unless they are very old.
  • 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.
• Descriptions are not guaranteed to be included as-is should a suggestion pass.

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.
• While rematches are valid once 100 rounds have passed, do not expect much enthusiasm for them unless the original match was very close or a tie.
• Regular matches (one-on-one) are favoured far 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, and try to get it down to two. Fights of more than three participants have to be sock-knocking genius in order to be even considered, so unless you're convinced it will be very popular, turn your efforts to something else.
• 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.

1. Terrible, The Great Sea is a 100 years after OoT, and the gods flooded Hyrule. the "islands" are actually mountaintops, so pirate ship is in the sky too. 70.27.27.187 13:40, 26 January 2013 (EST)

Captain Falcon vs. Samus

Two intergalactic bounty hunters, one specializing in racing, the other in weaponry and killing space monsters. These heavy heroes have appeared in all the Smash Bros. games, and are equipped with powerful attacks, Falcon's most notable being his Falcon Punch and Samus' being her Charge Shot. Captain Falcon's speed and raw power made him shine in Melee, earning him a high place on the tier list. Samus' arsenal of projectiles and powerful kicks got her a higher spot as well, but in Brawl, both bounty hunters find themselves struggling at the bottom after being hit hard by Brawl's physics and considerably the worst nerfs in the game. To add insult to injury, both characters had their records stolen by third party characters; Sonic beat Falcon's record as fastest character, and Snake beat both Link's and Samus' record for most projectiles. This would certainly be a duel of epic proportions! 70.123.221.168 23:53, 20 January 2013 (EST)

1. I'm not really one for rematches unless the situation between the two fighters has changed since the original match. Sorry. Infernape612 (talk) 18:52, 21 January 2013 (EST)

• Is a suggestion like this allowed? Isn't there a conflict of interest here? Mr. Anontalk 19:00, 21 January 2013 (EST)
• If a fight happened 100 rounds ago or more, a rematch is legal. Infernape612 (talk) 20:19, 21 January 2013 (EST)
  • That's not what I meant. Clearly the user is just trying to get himself into the Smash Arena to settle off an old dispute between him and his brother. Mr. Anontalk 22:11, 21 January 2013 (EST)

Falcon Punch vs. Knee of Justice

The two single most famous attacks from not just Falcon's moveset, but from Smash as a whole. One is a memetic punch with unfathomable galaxy destroying power, and the other is a memetic electrified knee smash that made competitive smashers fear Falcon's aerial assault. Which is the defining attack of Captain Falcon? Omega Tyrant 07:50, 22 January 2013 (EST)

1. They both are famous. BRAWLS OF FURY 08:13, 22 January 2013 (EST)
