I prefer Brawl's Final Destination. The look, the moving background to the sunset over a sea, and the musical scores are just gorgeus.

Melee's FD level layout was better (I don't care much about the lip. You'd have to be a moron to get gimped by it anyways.), but nothing else about Melee's FD setup beats Brawl's.

Both has GREAT music (love that they got back the Melee score), but somehow I think the Melee version is more.. epic or something, with those glowing pink edges and that spinning thing on the bottom. The Brawl version is kindoff cold, like all blue and such (tho it shifts along with the BG), but the backgrounds are just BEAUTIFUL, love them. Also its slightly bigger, tho that doesnt matter.

Definitely Melee's. The little flap they made at the edges ruins my chances to like the stage. Why did the stage designers had to mess that one up? Also, the music and background was pretty memoriable.

Melee one is better, but FD is still the best stage in brawl if you';re not an idiot. Good players don't get stuck under the ledge. Ever.


Well...unless you main link.

i definitely prefer the melee one... not by much though. i just think the corners on brawl's FD are stupid. It definitely screws up a bunch of characters. Melee didn't hav anywhere you could get stuck in so yah ^_^
I think it requires more thought, no one should get stuck if they are tournament-level players. Also, it gives more effect to gimping/stage spiking. I think that a stage with this kind of attribute was needed, though it did not have to be put on the "most neutral" stage.

i don't like the ledges on brawl so i like melee better but it's still my favorite stage plus the music is good and the scenery is better than melee although other people hate the scenery or music

i like them both but i have been messed up by the brawl FD before, but it wasnt a big problem for me. But there's just something about the Melee one i like a little better.

Naturally, Melee would be the fan favorite.
But I prefer Brawl's FD. Just because I vaguely remember Melee's.
I can't give an honest opinion, so I'm biased, Brawl's FD is better imo.

I still have my copy of Melee sitting 5 feet from me, but I can't ever play it until I pick up a memory card when I find the time. xD
So until then, I'd say Brawl.
I can still vaguely remember Melee's. I never picked it.

the new FD allows characters like pit, kirby, r.o.b, and mk to run away by going under the stage from one end to the other, you couldnt do that on the melee version, if you could paly as those characters that is.

I don't really mind the edges on brawl's final destination but melee's one was much more better imo.

Melee's. Brawl's background is cooler (The space part only. Epic cloudy sky>sunset spinning sea) and the stage designs are equal in appearance. However, I can't play on Brawl's FD because that lip aggravates me. Yet, Melee FD was my favorite stage back when I used to play before Brawl came out.

There are other maps in Melee besides FD? Also I never take appearance or music into account as when I'm playing all I'm focusing on is my character and my opponent. I wouldn't be able to tell you the music that was just played even if you played it back to me. the main thing about a map is its shape and therefore Melee FD is the best.

Also Brawl FD is not the most neutral map, welcome to anyone with projectiles and then Falco again and IC's. Most balanced map is BF also if you are agaisnt Falco or IC's ou can just camp the ledges.y

Smashville is more neutral than BF: U can still camp Falco and IC's here and at the same time not have to deal with Snake, Marth, G&W, DK, etc on a platform heavy stage.

I don't mind Brawl's FD, the characters I use don't have a problem recovering safely usually. What I do find a bit annoying is an IC's or Diddy here but even then it's not that bad for me.

I don't understand why people have so much trouble with the lip.

If it's there, and you know it, compensate, and angle/time your recovery better

brawl one because its easier to inhale with D3, spit em out under the stage, float back up, your safe, your opponet=dead
:laugh:

Yeah, that would be difficult in melee



Wifi Waiting Room pwns all.
The amount of truth in that statment makes me really bummed that it isn't unlockable :ohwell:

Everybody hates those stupid lips... i do too, with a burning passion.... and i also think it would be better for brawl's FD to be a little bigger ..but everything else is better imo

As a lucas player, I'll have to say melee. That stupid lip screws up my PK thunder every time I try to recover!

♥ My post count is my age. Deal with it.
I prefer melee cause the brawl music has the theme song everywhere :urg:
anyways there is this place in brawl on FD that makes me hit the top edge :mad: and makes me fall... while on melee it doesn't effect me that bad.

that lip will screw me all the time...

I obviously prefer Melee's FD, but I have to admit that Brawl's background scenery is better.

Brawl FD ledges are bad, I can't play a good game when it comes to Bowser.
