I find your ideas intriguing and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. Anyway, I'm shocked this thread is still seeing any discussion. Props to those of you still fighting the good fight, but it's hard for me to not be discouraged as to where the stage meta is heading. I've tried to talk to TOs...

Exactly what I wanted! Thank you!

In regards to hazards on/off, a potential solution to including both without possibility of playing on hazards-on stages: In previous Smash games if you had stage select set to "Turns" or "Loser's Pick" or whatever, the SSS cursor would have an icon showing "P1", "P2", etc depending on whose...

A good argument shouldn't start with "if you made an unbiased Twitter poll..." because what defined unbiased? And is Twitter that great of a polling platform? You mention looking at polls but I've only seen one from June 14th (which will have been have a year past by Ult's release date when we...

I agree with everything here. I want to respond specifically to your point about hidden discord servers, or rather ask a question- how do we even engage with the people who aren't in this thread? More and more I think us stage liberals are fighting a losing battle. My small, local scene (not too...

When I say the reaction by stage-conservatives is "nuh-uh", this is what I mean. Quality over quantity is a false dichotomy (especially in this game that looks to be the most well-balanced of any official Smash game). Examples like the Isabelle wall infinite (which wasn't linked to) are...

Alright, after catching up with this thread again, here's my proposal for an Ultimate ruleset. I'm calling the the "Smashville system". Step 1: Both players gentleman to Smashville. Benefits: It sames time, only one stage to learn, it's the most perfectly neutral stage to ever exist, keeps the...

Not sealioning, genuinely curious- what hard evidence was presented by them, and what have they been right about in the past? I haven't heard any of this.

Hate to spam the thread any more but which recent Sakurai post? I couldn't find one and don't really wanna go back through 6000 pages to find it.

Yeah, that's possible, but so what? Something I think a lot of deniers focus too heavily on is "well, they could have always..." which is definitely true, but to what end? Why painstakingly edit the mural only to show it for a few frames in the video? Why edit the Battlefield background and then...

Liking a lot of ideas. Here are a few of mine. Fourside -> Saffron City, as the city changes from day to night. The layouts are kind of similar with two side buildings with larger main building, so I think the fight would stay organic. Mario Bros. -> Brinstar Depths, because I think Mario...

Okay, so according to some people, vetoes won't work, random doesn't work, large stage striking lists don't work... what about the 5-2-1 game, like how people pick restaurants? Player 1 picks 5 stages to potentially play on, Player 2 names 2 of the listed stages that they're cool with, and...

Necessary? No, I don't think so. I think we'll see some diehards who focus on playing one character optimally because it's easier for them as people. But when a game's roster has over 60 characters and their inputs are all the same, I think it's stupid to not have multiple mains- you're only...

I am in support of this idea (which I think I tried to explain a bit ago but maybe the message didn't quite get through). Maybe even just give each player 2 vetoes in a 20-stage list and let them be used whenever wherever, or just use the veto system for Game 1 and let the rest of the games have...
