Week #16: PIRATE SHIP

Bad against anyone who has a spike, fun for everything else. Oh, and Ike's super awesome here for some reason. :/

It's because Ike is secretly a pirate.
Don't take G&W here either. Even without a spike, he's a pain in the rear to fight here because of Up B > Key in the water repeatedly.

Edit: F***it. I can't make a proper writeup with that little information.
Moar Pirate Ship posts please, I hardly play on that stage and dunno how the hazards affect Bowser.

The cannonballs pose a threat to Bowser since he's so big, but you can always see them coming, so it's all good. Sloops and the rocking of the ship will make ACing FAir hard. The sloop on the deck may cause problems when doing grab release stuff, so it's best to try a grab from the inside. Really not much to say about this stage. Very unlikely to come up.

Not much about the stage is good for Bowser. The ship rocks, making lots of things harder. (Ledge games, grab release shenanigans, everything awesome.) Platforms are pretty much useless, awkward to Klaw Hop up, they're pretty good for utilt though. The Bombs and the Catapult are annoying.
One good thing though, I believe it's possible to survive a Bowsercide when the ship is falling. With less gravity you can jump off and fortress to safety!

Can survive a Bowsercide on the floaty stage, electric stage is annoying because it has treadmills and Bowser's fat, ice stage is just annoying in general, standard area is pretty nice. Worth noting ledge ****'s over some characters pretty bad.

Isn't this a banned stage anyway?
Red Arremer
Smash Legend
I think so, but it doesn't hurt speaking about the stages that were Counter/Banned in the second stagelist.
B!squick
Smash Master
Well, LB covered pretty much everything. Opening stage is like FD with 2 small platforms, ice stage is suck, wind one is lol, electric one is random. Would like to know all the stuff you can do/happens when you grab someone on it and you get carried offstage.

Just don't fight multi jumpers and you should be good. Nice stage for anti spam.

I actually beat a really good g&w here. I won on smashville then he counterpicked and we ended up on rc. I dont recommend anyone ever coming here unless u plan on winning here

It has all the ingredients for a bad stage. Always moving. No grab release shenanigans. Being in the air alot.
Well, the best thing to do with a weakness IS to turn it into a strength. I guess we should work on being awesome at Japes now. :D

Stage: Rainbow Cruise
Lower ceiling on most parts, good for fortress, klaw, and mostly any vertically killing move. Would not suggest taking MK or GnW there, everybody else it can be useful, although there are a few gimmicks there with some characters. Overall a decent Bowser stage, definitely not a bad stage for him.

But if anyone asks, make sure to say "RC is a horrible Bowser stage because he's slow and has horrible aerials"

So just stay the course on that? And Phiddle, what's with the MK icon thar?

I hope so. I mean, everyone can main MK so I see no need to show people you do, lol.

You guys want to discuss the C/B stages too? Otherwise we'd be done with this.

Might as well. Not like we have anything else to do.

Yes. It's in C/B, though, and we're gonna do those too, just because we don't have much else to do.

I'm amazed by how much input this stage gets, haha.
If really noone knows anything about them, we'll leave them be. No sense in "discussing" stages if there's noone to discuss them.
Unless there's a stage left you want to discuss. Also, I'd love some feedback on the little write-ups in the OP, if they're okay, if I forgot something important and should add it, or if I added something that's wrong. I'm not a big expert on stages after all.

I think it's more that they're usually banned so we have no experience on them so no real input can be given.
I think the summary's in the OP are great, maybe we can put who to take to each and who not to take, or a rating out of 10 just so less experienced players know what stages help us in what match-ups.
One thing you could add that I only realised the other day, If you have someone in a grab on Pokemon Stadium 1 when the stage changes you pop up into the air with them ruining a possible CG.

Ratings out of 10 are a good idea IMO, for new players looking for a quick idea of Bowsers best stages, or for players wondering where to counterpick him to.
