Home court advantage

[Red Shirt KRT]

I was thinking that it would be cool if for smash bros brawl they made each characters map be set up in their favor.

for example:

Jigglypuff's or Kirby's Stage: have very high ceiling, low floor, and far edges so they can get back onto the stage better than others.

Roy and Marth: Have platforms at the perfect hight for tippers.

Samus: Not many obstacles or platforms for great use of projectiles


It would be like a home court advantage sort of thing. What do you think?

Nope i don't like the idea at all, that would just make counterpicking the easiest thing in the world and it would take the fun out of things.. having a character be a god at a stage is just stupid.. why do you think so many melee stages are banned?

Not make them completely one sided, but just have things that are nice, just like how Battlefield is good for marth cause of the platforms and small things like that, but put those types of things on that characters map.

I don't really like the idea either. Although certain characters may do better on some stages than others now, more than one characters share advantages on that stage. For example, although final destination provides great room for falco lasering, it also provides great room for marth chain throwing. If a stage was imbalanced greatly towards it's "home field" character, every player would counter pick that stage and you wouldn't really see much strategy as far as stage selection was concerned.

i think the idea is pretty sweet, like he was sayin not a huge advantage but i find it easyer to play on certain stages with samus so it would be cool having a level that you could exel in while facing a better oponants

haha figured I didn't have to look far in this thread for someone I agreed with, lo and behold the 2nd post.

Quoted for truth, nothing to add here.

Sure. First off even if the stage gave you an advantage, a better player will always beat you, always. second, if the players were on fairly even grounds than this stage would give a large advantage to the ''homecourt'' player. It would make such an anal system of level with character counterpicks and it would suck.

Stage design should focus on creating a multitude of different battlegrounds with not one character in mind, sure yoshis story heavily favors marth, but it's still a great level and Im sure nintendo wasn't thinking ''Hey, lets make this a counterpick level for marth mains'' I doubt that.

it sucks all the originality out of the stages.

Meh, would be difficult. Some stages are already suited to different people. Fourside is suited to Samus and Y. Link, because they are good wall jumpers. Not an awesome idea, but maybe only smaller things, that more than 1 or 2 characters could benefit from.

If they took yoshi's story and switched the theme to be like marth than that is what i'm talking about, its no different than having yoshis story theme because marths will choose it if its his map or not, so why not just make it be their homecourt?

Garbage idea.

Sorry man, but in a dog eat dog world you need to face the truth...

Yeah, so this is just a waste of thought.

I was about to say that.

Also, counterpicking will not be overly easy. You still need to remember which stages you'e opponent is bad at, because chances are there will still be another stage you are decent at, and your opponen is bad at.
