Character Discussion Thread

[YoshiandToad]

Only three stages I really want:

Bowser's Castle
Glitz Pit.
A Rhythm Heaven Stage.

After that you can add like nine versions of Pokemon Stadium and I wouldn't care.

 

[Coricus]

Stages that we could have?

Phenandara Drifts, Fountain of Dreams from Melee, and pretty much anything for the 3DS version that isn't brown stone buildings, grassy plains, pixelated, casual, or the characters inserted into a utility app.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

here;s the thing, you can actually do this with the theater.

That's why it's more wanted, gltis pit is the second because it's actually a kind of a theater if you want.

plus, just having the audience makes the theater a must

Like the high definition audience for the Boxing Ring stage?

 

[Champ Gold]

My stages are still this

- Bowser's Castle
- Dr. Mario
- Mario Party
- Wario's Gold Mine
- Punch Bowl
- Clay Dreamland

Question: Would you prefer Bowser World from Super Mario 3D World or Bowser's Castle as a new stage.

Question: Would you prefer Bowser World from Super Mario 3D World or Bowser's Castle as a new stage.

It all depends on how it's executed, that's why Frigate Orpheon isn't liked all the time

Question: Would you prefer Bowser World from Super Mario 3D World or Bowser's Castle as a new stage.

Bowser's castle, preferably the end of 1-4 from Super Mario Bros. That location is pretty iconic.

 

[Curious Villager]

Bowser's castle, preferably the end of 4-1 from Super Mario Bros. That location is pretty iconic.

I've actually made a stage out of that place on Stage Builder. It's a pretty neat location to fight in indeed. c:

 

[EmceeEspio]

You guys know we have a Stage thread, right?

Anyway, might as well join in.

I want Pirate Ship back in the graphical style of WWHD, and New Pork City for 8-player Smash.

I think a Bramble stage would be good for DK, Chemical Plant or Sky Sanctuary for Sonic, Bowser's Castle is a given.

Other stages I'd like are:
Mute City (The AMAZING Melee version, not the pixel one)
Hyrule Castle 64
Fourside
Suzaki Castle (for Ryu)
Excitebike
NES Remix

 

[Burruni]

Ganondorf also needs some kind of stage.

Gerudo Desert?

The home of his people from his debut game? Features his surrogate mothers as a stage hazard?

Inb4 it doesn't count because it's 3DS exclusive......

I wouldn't mind seeing Death Mountain though. Which has.... kinda become more of a Goron location but still...

 

[JaidynReiman]

Frankly I'd like to see Ganon's Tower.


But yeah, there's something I would like to ask: Why are we discussing stages is the Official CHARACTER Thread?

Because namely its stages that would help compliment characters in the feeling of the series inside of Smash.

Also because news of actual characters comes in bursts and in the duldrums tangents spurt out. At least this one is still about Smash.

 

[Spazzy_D]

I can understand not wanting anymore Xenoblade characters. The series is new and we have quite a few unrepped or underepped series with characters that I would personally rather see get in first, after all.

But as far as stages go?

Seriously guys, Xenoblade has such amazing locals and music! I'd love to see Sword Valley, Mechonis Core, Prison Island, Eryth Sea or even Colony 6.

My personal choice for a Xenoblade stage has always been Junks (the air ship featured in the video below,) though.

 

[Rockaphin]

Question: Would you prefer Bowser World from Super Mario 3D World or Bowser's Castle as a new stage.

Personally, I'm still puzzled that Bowser's Castle hasn't been a stage yet. Unless you count that god awful Paper Mario transition.

Peach had her Castle in Melee which was nice and iconic. I don't see why Bowser can't have his which is also iconic.

Also, just think about the various music tracks they could choose from. plz

 

[Dragoncharystary]

No matter if the new stage would be Bowser World or Bowser's Castle, I would think it would be an 8-Player Smash Stage(And I mean not in omega mode).

 

[Spazzy_D]

I'm fine with the level selection for most series. I do kind of wish that we had more variation in Metroid stages, though. Most everything right now is either lava or acid (Frigate Orpheon, and to a lesser extent Pyrosphere and Brinstar Depths, are the only ones that don't feature lava/acid.) Same thing with Donkey Kong stages and jungles.

I also agree with everyone here that Bowser's Castle is long over due as a Smash stage.

Here's an actual character related question.... who can Nintendo add to give the final stage of the Wii U All Star mode some more characters?

The characters debut would have to be pre-1985, which leaves few option. Ice Climbers came out in January of '85, so they might be able to sneak in. Excite Bike and Balloon Fight were both released in '84, so they're good.

The only big third party I can think of is Bomberman, who debuted in '83.

EAAARLY NES and Arcade are really my only ideas.

Street Fighter is going to be 87.

That particular section of All Star bother's me because they only have 6 fighters, while every other section has 7 or 8.

More reason to support Bomberman I suppose!

(Sheriff would also work here, if he weren't an assist. Donkey Kong Jr. as well.)

The second that the team can figure out how to make the Ice Climbers work on the 3DS, they're in.

 

[Burruni]

The question is: Are they working on it?

I mean... if you wanna call some Sakurai Bias, these two were a pair he hand-picked for Melee to embody the tag-team mechanic and is one of the most unique playing fighters in all of Smash.

The fact that his team hit a wall and couldn't overcome it for them in the main time of development, how much do you think is being spent to still figure it out... and how likely is it that they're going to find a solution?

I'd argue Kirby is the most unique character because soul devouring, but if Sakurai decides to try to make them work, I feel like the budget will keep running out as DLC has a much lower budget than the game itself

To be fair, the pre-1985 club is pretty exclusive.

That's only IF they can figure them out. I want the Icies to get back in, but technical limitations are technical limitations. I do not believe that Sakurai will do a solo Popo or anything like that. If he was going to do that it would already be done.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

RabbidLuigi used Bomberman in his latest countdown. Yeah, he should be in smash as a third party. Or better yet, Nintendo buys Bomberman rights and he'd be a first party character!

 

[Burruni]

I'VE GOT IT!

A historically-important character whose first video game title dates back to 1983 on the Genesis but has had a number of titles on Nintendo

Yeah we don't know if they're working on it or not. I'd imagine they have it as a minor side project but not their main goal.

I hope they do that. It probably won't happen though.


And by the way we'll probably get Bowser's Castle as a stage whenever he get his own game where he's the protagonist and needs to save Mario and Luigi from a new villain. Yeah I know we all want it.

Excitebike, please! :D
Only retro character I care about at this point.

One of my earlier ideas was including

as like a pokemon trainer for Jigglypuff

Like the whole stay in the background as provide vocal support shtick

World Bowser. Just because of the Super Mario 3D World music.
Also this song:

 

[ZeldaMaster]

I'm sick of all the generic Fire Emblem stages? Can we please get Ashera's Tower from Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn?

 

[Troykv]

Yes please! Or... anything that is actually a place in Fire Emblem xD

 

[BluePikmin11]

We do have Arena Ferox if you're looking for non-generic FE stages.

 

[JaidynReiman]

The Tower of Guidance is a decent idea for a location, but I have my doubts it would be included this late. Greil's Retreat might not be a bad option, either.

 

[Wintropy]

dragon's gate dragon's gate dragon's gate dragon's gate

Fire Dragon mandatory.

 

[random rendum]

I think Kraid would be a good fit, smaller than ridley, iconic and can turn into mini kraid for a fs

I wanna see mario bros return a casual stage gco 2 etc.

 

[Wintropy]

smaller than ridley

You're kidding, right?

 

[Kenith]

I wanna see mario bros return a casual stage gco 2 etc.

I want Mario Bros. back too...I also want Hanenbow and Big Blue.
I'm a monster.

 

[Burruni]

You're kidding, right?

Considering he said he's turn into Mini-Kraid for his final smash, i THINK he may be joking.

After all....

[A Distant Demon]

Big blue isnt that bad imo.

I want that one back as well.


Hanenbow can die in multiple fires though. My least favorite stage in the series.

Sorry hanenbow lovers.
