Ideal Stages for the Pink Puffball

[NotEvenAmatueR]

Hello Kirby players. I have noticed that there is no thread on Kirby's stage selection, so I have took it upon myself to make said thread. This thread is intended to inform Kirby players on what stages they should go to, as to avoid picking the wrong stage that could cost them the game. What are our ideal stages for Kirby? For reference, here is the usual stage selection for tournaments. I will add a general consensus for each stage as we go.

Color checklist:

Green- This is a stage that Kirby can depend on and will almost always be a good stage choice for optimal play.

Yellow- This is a stage that is neutral for Kirby but it can sometimes benefit him depending on the matchup.

White- This is a stage is absolutely neutral for Kirby. You are most likely banning this stage because it is your opponent's best stage. (Or, it is the filler color for stages not fully discussed yet.)

Orange- This stage is sometimes bad for Kirby but can be neutral depending on the matchup. You may want to ban these stages.

Red- This stage is bad for Kirby in most to all matchups, and it is reccomended that you ban these stages.

Stagelist:

Starter:
Battlefield/Miiverse
Final Destination
Smashville

Starter or CounterPick (usually starter):
Town and City
Lylat Cruise

CounterPick:
Dreamland 64
Duck Hunt

CounterPick or Banned (usually banned):
Delfino
Halberd
Castle Seige

I have a poll created for which stage we will discuss first. The choices you have currently are Battlefield, Smashville, and Final Destination since they are practically guranteed to be starter stages. For the next week, feel free to talk about your opinion on any of the legal stages before we decide which starter stage we will discuss. Enjoy the discussion folks!

This seems like a very fun idea. I wish I played on Anthers Ladder more. A lot my matchup experience comes from Final Destination alone. lol

One tip I do have though is that you probably shouldn't got to Battlefield if your opponent is good at sharking like Falco. Kirby's poor mobility means he'll have a tough time getting of the platforms. By contrast, I'd imagine Smashville would be a great stage for Kirby in many matchups because it gives speedier characters like Greninja less room to keep running away from while giving him a platform to aid his recovery and get away from projectile spam.
