Does anyone else hate battlefield stages?

[Sage of Six Blacks]

I feel like battlefield stages promote scummy tactics, ie. sitting under a platform spamming up tilt or for some characters, a side smash going through a platform, hitting your big toe and killing you. Plus i feel like they clutter the stage, omega/FD allows so much more freedoms and you won’t accidentally land on a platform and get punished.

Oh absolutely, i'd raher play on Hanenbow than play on a battlefield stage.

Also, welcome to Smashboards ! Enjoy your stay.

It makes me hate preferred rules even more as this stage always comes up...

I personally think BF definitely promotes characters to camp more, but because of the unnecessarily difficult platform physics in ultimate being on a platform is painful especially during disadvantage state.

Another problem is that sometimes I feel like teching onto a platform on a BF stage to get out of disadvantage state can feel like it's a worse option than just neutral air dodging to get back to the ground.

However, I do think battlefield is really good for some characters, especially swordies who can shark through them and characters that rely on platform resets to extend their combos (i.e. my main, Meta Knight or even Mario) which is why I often find myself counter picking BF in tournament sets for certain matchups.

For the most part though Battlefield isn't so bad once you practice platform techs such a circle dropping, wavelanding, etc etc

I hear people say this a lot, and I do agree that getting used to them is something that every player should have to do eventually but, even still, I do hate them and I agree that they are bad for the same reasons you listed.
