The Offical Final Destination Thread

[iankobe]

As we all know, Final Destination is a stage where you fight the final "boss" master hand. As far as we know, we DO NOT know if Master hand would return. This stage, while being of the most important stages in melee, takes a important role of a good stage.

So what are your thoughts? Personally FD would return as one of the main stages again because of its flat platform and its balanced-liked stage for every character.

If FD doesn't return what else can replace it? Or maybe Master hand wouldn't make it back this time around? IF it does return, what would they do to it? Would they follow the structure like the new battle field? (see that the old FD and battlefield have the same kind of new-tech looking, and the new BF have the ancient kind of looking.)

Discuss.

This is what we had:

And this is what we have now:

FD will and should return, it the only map of its kind, i would like to see it return.

[Star105]

i second that motion............

its a great stage for people to fight on with skill alone compared to other maps with obstacles in them (though those are cool too...)

[Yoshi Yoshi]

I think it will come back. The closest thing we have as of now is Bridge of Eldin, and it has events happening (King Bulblin). And, as far as I can tell, you can't really fall off like you could on Destination.

Master Hand will probably come back if Destination does.

[Thunderslf]

I personally think that the arena area seen in the first cut scene and in the picture of Mario kicking a "Modea" (I know that isn't the real name, bite me :P) is the Final Destination of Brawl. It seems like it would be, considering it has that "final" mood to it and it's completely flat.

In my opinion, that HAS to be Final Destination. It's possible that there are two completely flat levels and the level shown above is just a flat "arena" stage made just for Brawl, but chances are that there will be one and only one level like FD.

[iankobe]

I thought that was the OPENING. Watching the trailer of Subspace Emissary, it seems like its just the opening. I'm thinking that you'll go through an adventure, and end up in another place. A place that you fight the final boss.

[IllidR]

That doesn't necessarily HAVE to be Final Destination. There have always been stages in adventure mode that weren't featured as a stage in multiplayer that looked similar to what we were allowed to use. For example, in the link part of adventure mode you would encounter several parts where you would fight a link, that was the same as battlefield. And at the part where you stopped to fight the Yoshi brigade you fought on a stage that was again like battlefield. So very well this could be a "clone" of Final Destination.

[Thunderslf]

It's possible, but those "levels" were part of bigger adventure style levels, this looks to be a level on it's own.

[IllidR]

If you saw just that part they would have looked like a level on their own. The link "battlefield" would disappear the rest of the stage and the background would be a vortex. And you forget this arena stage was shown with the new "adventure mode".

[Doc13]

i agree with Thunderslf :)

[Thunderslf]

Yes, I realise that it was, but it's possible that it's the FD of Brawl, I never said it was 100%. :O

[IllidR]

And i never said it 100% wasn't it. =P

[Thunderslf]

oh ho

:O

[Yoshi Yoshi]

The way the edge curves, it looks like it's pretty small. Either it's a vortex like IllidR said, or it's the actual Destination. It does seem kinda small though, even in comparison with the current one.

[IllidR]

I would like to add though, that i would like for this to be the new Final Destination. It is very appealing even though it has parking spaces.

Edit: This is very off topic but the enemies on the "final destination" arena stage look like they copy other characters as polygons had in the past. And the one's posture reminds me a bit of Diddy Kong... just wanted to get that off my chest.

[iankobe]

This picture that's showing the stage isn't big enough for us to see if it'd be the new FD. Maybe it will, but its not clear enough to see the entire stage.

[Dark Shard]

I think the new FD needs to be totally, totally awesome and abstract, as melee's was.

I think there should be a really really super special secret on the stage. Like if you shot samus's bacon at the black hole on the bottom of Melee FD, the arena would blow into two, and chaos would ensue, unlocking a new something. Imagin playing around with friends, then trying some crazy stuff unlocking, Sonic!!111!!1!

Wait, that actually happened!? O_O

[iankobe]

Lmao, no that wouldn't happen. That's a new idea for a new stage, though.

[Grmo]

Perhaps the Master Foot?

[iankobe]

That'd be an awesome idea. Both Master Hand AND foot shows up. LMAO.

Well that makes FD a bigger, longer stage, wouldn't it.

[smash_fo_life]

favorite stage

[OmegaKoopa]

definetly can see it coming back, but with a new look

[Sir James]

FD better make an appearance in Brawl. I have a feeling Final Destination will be a Classic stage. It'll be left in Brawl unchanged. I wouldn't mind it, but I would like to see a newer updated version of FD.

[OmegaKoopa]

^trust me, we might see it updated since Battlefield got a new look, I wouldn't even be surprised if a "new" look came around for FD, but yea the classic FD look is also awesome

[Sir James]

The original FD does look cool, but I don't know if I can play the same stage again for another 6 years lol

[Darkurai]

Final Destination needs to be in Brawl exactly as it was in Melee, but with the next-gen graphics.

[IllidR]

I don't know if exactly.. the same stage size and feel ya, but maybe a different background? After hours of playing on it your eyes begin to hurt a little. :dizzy:

[Yen-Yoshi]

all i care is if they hav a stage the same size and flatness of final destination on melee

[Darkurai]

The background changes. How could it hurt your eyes over time?

[IllidR]

It's always swirling and going from light to dark. It's like if you play Guitar Hero for too long. Eventually everything seems as if it is scrolling up, even the whole T.V.

I've played Guitar Hero for hours on end, and that's never happened.

Clearly you haven't had an all nighter of Guitar Hero then.. i suggest you try it and watch the furniture scroll by! Anyway, Final Destination must return!

[OmegaKoopa]

i never knew that, but I think the background should change a bit

[Weed]

We have yet to see the final boss of this game, and probably wont until it's release.. I'm sure It'll have a similar design, if not better.

[Goopygoo]

I would love an updated Final Destination stage, but just make it completely flat. No secrets, no extra platforms, nothing but nice flatness.

Also, I thought that the Ancient Minister was the final boss.

I thought Bowser was the final boss of Melee.
Look what happened there.

If you look at this picture:

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea01/modea01_070720a-l.jpg

Looks pretty big and flat to me. I'll wager this is the replacement for FD.

This has already been argued previously in this thread. I don't feel like doing it again. :urg:

[Yen-Yoshi]

i dont know if that could be fd because how would u fall off=P... whatever it'ds just my opinion
