[I'M FINISHED!]

1. Pokémon Stadium
2. Spear Pillar
3. Pokémon Stadium 2
4. Poké Floats
5. Saffron City

No one will disagree. No one. Not one. Nobody.

 

[Benzychenz]

No one will disagree. No one. Not one. Nobody.

Don't count on it.

 

[ffdgh]

btw
Spear Pillar sucks

Depends....cresselia's was the least annoying variation/

I disagreed.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Don't count on it.

They'll just be lying to themselves. My favorites are universal.

I disagreed.

Scorched pants.

 

[PadWarrior]

75 and Spear Pillar, Ugh. I loved Saffron City from Smash 64.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

There were a lot of lousy stages in Brawl.

 

[jph139]

So Paperbeatsscissors has been posting drawings of Smash Bros. characters on Tumblr and such. I think they're pretty cool. Good avatar material, too.

Figured I'd share.

 

[Makonero]

75 and Spear Pillar, Ugh. I loved Saffron City from Smash 64.

And this is the retro stage I want most of all.

 

[PadWarrior]

And this is the retro stage I want most of all.

Same here. I was sad when Saffron City didn't return to Brawl.

Disagreed on all but Pokemon Stadium
now what

 

[Red Arremer]

I really didn't like Saffron City.

 

[Beelzebufo]

I'd have to go with:

1. Stadium
2. Saffron
3. Stadium 2
4. Pokefloats
5. Spear Pillar

I like the idea of floats, but it's not fun to play on. Spear Pillar is just bad.

True, I didn't disagree.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Saffron City has those annoying building cliffs that are too tall and too cramped to recover.

Neat. That Captain Falcon face reminds me of John K's work.

You cut off your fingers that type these blatant lies. That's what.

 

[GooeyHeat]

Nah nah nah.
The order is:

1. Pokemon Stadium
2. Saffron City
3. Poke Floats
4. Spear Pillar
5. Pokemon Stadium 2

Don't ask me why Stadium 2 is on the bottom. Like, when I think about it, it doesn't seem that bad, but I never manage to have any fun playing on it. The conveyor belts aren't good on a stage that small, ice is just annoying, and, well, Brawl was already a floaty game, the wind just makes it slower than molasses.
When Spear Pillar flips it's annoying, but it's fun otherwise.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Yo to the yo-yo.

 

[Benzychenz]

So, best Brawl stages?

I'm quite fond of both Zelda stages, Mario Circuit and WarioWare.

It's like you're deliberately picking stages that are generally hated.

No love for smashville?

 

[Jezan]

Corneria/Sector Z should be as big as it was in Smash 64.

 

[PadWarrior]

No love for smashville?

NOOO I meant to add it!!! I love that stage!!

 

[Caladrius]

Spear Pillar would have been my favorite Brawl stage if they had used the real Master of Sinnoh instead of that disgusting, worthless excuse for a croissant they call a psychic type.

 

[foxuzamaki]

God, cant wait to see what the starfox stage is going to be, three is a multiplayer map in starfox assault where it has the newest version(not counting command) of the great fox and I always loved the idea of smashers fighting on it in the blue sky with a dog fight going on in the background.

You sound like a VGC player that ran into one too many bulky Cresselias.

 

[Macka]

Best Brawl Stages
- Final Destination
- Battlefield
- Corneria
- Pirate Ship
- Pokemon Stadium
- Onett
- Lylat Cruise
- Castle Siege
- Halberd
- Shadow Moses Island

 

[theprodigy]

Wait, are we counting Battlefield, FD, and Melee stages in "best Brawl stages"?
If so, add Pokemon Stadium, Battlefield, Jungle Japes, Rainbow Cruise, and Temple.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Moving stages suck.

Wish they were never included in the first place.

 

[Kriken]

Moving stages suck for competitive play, but they can be really fun for those moments where you and a couple of friends don't care. Watching your friend try to get back onto a moving car in the Falcon stage when he falls off can be very amusing IMO.

But yeah, New Pork City sucks for timed battles as there are way too many places to just run from your opponent.

 

[Immaculate]

Moving stages suck.

ehh better than the generic platform stage with 3 floating platforms above it

New Pork City is never good

Nothing wrong with the Mario World 1 one other than being drab looking.

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

Did Brawl have the 51 challenges like Melee had? I hope that returns in Sm4sh.

 

[theprodigy]

No it had 41 1-player challenges, in addition to 21 2-player challenges.

Nothing wrong with the Mario World 1 one other than being drab looking.

Why would you use one of the worst moving stages as your example.

 

[Benzychenz]

Worst to best kinds of stages

4. Moving stages (Mushroomy Kingdom)
3. Random floating platforms (Smashville)
2. Stages incorporated into the games world with walkoff edges (Bridge of Eldin)
1. Stages incorporated into the games world with platforms (Lylat Cruise)

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

No it had 41 1-player challenges, in addition to 21 2-player challenges.

Oh! That must have totally slipped my mind. I'm sure they'll return then

 

[zeemumu]

Smash La Smash

Did Brawl have the 51 challenges like Melee had? I hope that returns in Sm4sh.

Technically yes... 41 for single player. 21 for 2 players.

 

[TheRedSnifit]

I think that's the joke. It's what SMB would look like if it was made during the "brown = next-gen" fad.

 

[Speedwagon]

So how does KI play for lefties with no Circle Pad Pro? I've wanted to pick it up and I'm fine with divisive controls. But if it's not set up for lefties, will I be able to play?

I'm left-handed and I find it very comfortable. I use the default controls with the stylus in my right hand, though, and I use my right pinky to hold the bottom of the 3DS and the L-button to fire. Even if you can't write with your right hand, the aiming doesn't require such accuracy that it should be a hindrance. Maybe if you use the staff (sniper), but that's all.

I think that's the joke. It's what SMB would look like if it was made during the "real is brown" fad.

Gritty and visceral indeed. But nowadays it's all about "immersion".

 

[Azure J]

I think I ran down some of my "most wanted stages" a while back, but really, I just want to know what the full list of stages will look like when all is said and done. Also, for as much as I have massive amounts of nostalgia for Yoshi's Story, Dreamland 64, Sector Z, and both Mushroom Kingdoms, I'd love it if all the stages in Smash 4 were wholly new creations.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Rainbow Cruise is probably my favorite moving stage, mostly because Kirby and Meta Knight can insta-gib every other character with their Up Throw.

 

[IntelliHeath]
