Jungle Japes needs to be removed for the insta win it can give falco, the clap trap deaths that in certain scenarios are unavoidable, and the complete **** over to the majority of characters recoveries.
Picto chat because of kirbies glitch/ immense amounts of camping that can occur to avoid objects, and the fact u can actually get stuck in small boxes at some transformations... yea, not being able to move for 15 seconds, thats fun and fair for everyone.
Rainbowcruise because of its gay name, walls, walk offs, kirby/meta uthrow insta kills, and stupid noodles. God dam noodles.
Hanenbow-Just no. I garuntee you, even in teams, if you allow hanenbow, every match that I encounter there will time out. I give you my promise, not because i wana be gay, but because thats the best way to use that level, and its not even hard.
Luigi's- same reason as above.
Only other stages that i'd allow but are still gay are norfair and pirate ship. Those stages are SEEMing less gay the more i play them. with the exception of my mk on norfair, gl.
Its really really campy, but the level SOMETIMES forces close encounters so it CAN sometimes force fights momentarily.
soooo yea..
Jungle Japes- The Klap Traps come by in a set pattern (appears in the right the first three seconds of the match then it appears in the left the first seven seconds of the match, I believe. This process repeats every 10 seconds). If you know when the next Klap Trap will appear, then you know where NOT to be. And if you are there, then don't get grabbed. Speaking of which, it is possible for ANY character to recover if they are spiked in the center-left area if they know the timing (except for possibly Ike, but who cares about him?
). In any case, it's going to be a counterpick whether you guys like it or not. Personally, I hate it, but I find many other stages to be more ban-worthy.
Pictochat- The reason why I allowed Pictochat was because it was mostly harmless. Only about three drawings are lethal, and when no drawings are out it is basically Final Destination. About Kirby's glitch, considering if his opponent has no option against it, then it would be stalling, which is banned. However, that getting stuck thing concerns me, but I've never witnessed it before. Can you provide a video, please?
Rainbow Cruise- *is still biased towards it* Disregarding what you said about the name and the noodles (?), I'll address the walls, walk-offs, and the instant-kills. The walls are only there temporarily, unlike Corneria or Green Greens. So, you can't really infinite someone there. And since the walls only last for a short period of time, you can't camp there hoping for someone to drop in on you, either. There is only one section of the stage that you can possibly do a walk-off kill, and even then it is hard due to the uneven terrain, stage-scrolling, and platforms. Plus, King Dedede and Falco suck there, anyways.
As for the instant kill, you can really only do that in the bottom area of the stage, and even then you can only do it in specific areas. Like one famous Smash player said, "don't get grabbed" in those particular areas.
Hanenbow- *sigh* Well, I've already given my argument for Hanenbow. I can understand why people want it to be completely banned, but I just don't know if I should ban it. I want to hear other people's opinions first before I decide on a course of action.
Luigi's Mansion- I mentioned earlier that I really hate this stage, but other than that I can't find a reason for banning it. The stage itself is destructable, so it almost becomes like FD but with slightly better ledges if you destroy the whole mansion (or leave a part of it so that it doesn't completely respawn). In that sense, matches there shouldn't time out much, if at all. Once again, I'd like to hear other people's opinions on this stage.
