Make it not take a decade to load my character color choice. Fix arenas so we can switch characters/stages without leaving the queue. Hazard toggle either built into the stage select screen, or as a separate menu like the one for random stages. Add a rotation mode to the tournament mode...

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. But when we want to have a competition to see who is the best player, some things are not conducive to that. Having a 1-on-1 game on Temple where you can just run away the whole time does not show who the better player is. Look at it this way...

I've finished up work on a huge study on stage selection in Smash 4, covering over 1300 games from 2018. While this is about Smash 4, it was created with intent to use the data moving on to Ultimate. Here's the original thread...

For a 5 starter list, Prism Tower is definitely the best (only) choice. I would typically rather see a stage like it as a counterpick but there's no other options. Luckily, none of the transformations seem heavily in favor of particular characters; they're mostly quite tame. Since striking is...

Actually works on any stage with slants! I'm not sure how useful it is as an attacking option, but can be nice when using Raptor Boost for recovery.

I just discovered these last night. They're both involving Falcon Kick, but are pretty different so I'll break this post into two parts. Peach's Castle (64) - The slightly more useful technique If you're on the bottom right portion of Peach's Castle and use Falcon Kick towards the center...

It's just too big, though. The random tornado doesn't help, but the size is the biggest thing I think. It was ok in 64 because that game is so much about zero-to-death combos, lol. I think it'll be a fine stage in a doubles setting, though. --- On the topic of Tomodachi Life being a circle...

Bumping a somewhat old thread here, but this seems to be the one people reference when talking about 3DS legal stages. Anther's Ladder has just removed Arena Ferox from their stage list, replacing it with Tomodachi Life. Is there any merit to this at all? Should people be considering Tomodachi...

I'm pretty much set on the recommendations I listed before, with each combination of Dash Punch, standard Raptor Boost, Dive and Strike, and each Falcon Kick. A Mighty Falcon Punch set should be included, but it and any other included sets are niche sets. While there's nothing outright wrong...

Trifroze with Captain Falcon.

It has to be Ganondorf. His punch hits at the perfect angle to maximize the targets broken, thus hitting the wrench item more. Also, it isn't necessarily the fastest option. It's the easiest, as you can leave it on overnight or go read a book or something. I do recommend it if you have a turbo...

1111 is honestly a great set for Falcon, though it would be odd to forego 2111 or 3111. You're likely not throwing Falcon Punch around too often, so it'd be best to have the added range and recovery of 2 or the hit box of 3 for when you do use the attack... Still, for those unfamiliar, full...

Those look great to me. I doubt Mighty Falcon Punch will be chosen too often, and I don't personally use it (Dash Punch 2 stronk) so my own opinion isn't terribly useful in that matter. I figure a mix of the Up B's with a spread of the Falcon Kicks is best. I really don't think anyone will be...

I am currently working on getting a consensus on Captain Falcon's sets with the board. We have six that are basically guaranteed, but the final four are tricky.

Looking for some input on this. Since we need to come up with 10 sets for Evo, I'm proposing we fill in the first few sets with every combination of Falcon Dash Punch (the generally agreed best neutral B) + Falcon Dive or Strike (power and grab vs recovery) + Each Falcon Kick (user preference)...
