People definitely mind the music lol. A lot of complaints about Pokemon/Animal Crossing music being played over and over. Platforms are lower (can be jumped onto by Ken, etc). Stage is small enough to jump under it to the other ledge (might need a rule against doing this too many times).

Hell. Yes. This is a great day. No longer do we have to have two overly open stages on the starters!

Honestly the main issue is that people are so stuck on restricting what layouts are viable then even when a great stage comes along that stays within that range (Yggdrassil, Spring Stadium, mixed Hazards for Dreamland/FoD etc etc) people will complain about there being too many of a single...

I've thought about hosting an online tournament myself that uses more experimental stages for the fun of it. I think there is definitely an interest in this kind of thing, but I don't know if we'd get nearly enough people.

While FoD and Smashville are great with Hazards On, Duck Hunt and Halberd would never be legal if they aren't legal without hazards. YI:B is uh, an interesting stage. It's fun, but I don't know if it would be viable persay. It has a lot of variables to it including shy guys. Lylat would...

For sure, I still don't know where I stand on it, but for the sake of a more thorough debate I think the stage having something completely unique from any other stage is something that needs to be discussed more. If you could stand on the ceiling it wouldn't be up for discussion I don't think...

Sure, I'll play devil's advocate then. Ceilings are an aspect of the stage that is completely unique to that stage. For every other aspect, we currently have at least 1 other stage (with 1 exception) of that aspect being on other stages. Slants? Yoshi's Story and Lylat. Walls? Kalos and...

So on another topic, with Lylat's ledges snapping more characters much faster and making it very hard to shark under, I do believe it's time for that stage to be solidified as a potential starter. I propose the following: Starters Battlefield Smashville Pokemon Stadium 2 Town & City Lylat...

I still stand firmly on the side that Castle Siege is a wonderful map with a great plat layout and a size that isn't too small. I'd really prefer Yggdrasil's Altar over Kalos too. As well, I think experimenting with mixed hazards is by no means unconventional using individual rulesets. Even...

There's several stages where foreground objects can cover the mine at different angles. The purpose of counterpicks is to grant an advantage. I'm glad to see Unova is being discussed again, as well as Maister wanting WarioWare.

Whether or not it's as much of a problem, most players agree that with so many viable stages, semi-soft terrain is an unnecessary risk that can only lead to stalling. Even though I and many others here may disagree with that, in the end, the purpose of a stage list is to bring both the most...

It depends on the TO. However, in most circumstances, stalling is usually not viable due to the stage selection or the other aspects of the ruleset. Sharking is currently not possible on any standardized stage since none of them have semi-soft terrain (platforms are not terrain). Anti-stalling...

This isn't a matter of rules. The word "stalling" in smash simply refers to a broad concept that sharking happens to fall in by its own definition, involving the player actively trying to stall.

Sharking is going under the stage and abusing a semi-soft piece of terrain to put out (usually disjointed) hitboxes through it, in theory becoming more difficult to hit. Basically, getting a stock lead then doing this the rest of the match would be widely considered a form of stalling...

I see people all over twitter complaining about Lylat because of a specific Dabuz set but can't find it, does anyone know what's going on?
