How many stages are you expecting for Brawl?

[The Hypnotist]

We had 26 characters in Melee and we're expecting about 35-40 in Brawl. But what about stages, they aren't nearly as complex. We had 30 in Melee and I'm thinking we'll get at least 45, probally 50. I mean they can just bring back classic levels so easily. 50 doesn't sound like too much does it? What do you think?

 

[Brawlman]

42...Seriously.

 

[SpitFire15]

40 would be ideal.

 

[pikachun00b7]

50. Stage for every char and then some!

Now I would flame you, saying this thread belongs in the Official Stages Thread, but I don't like that thread at all. It was very SLOPPILY MADE (Hint hint to the Mods).

Wow, you really need to let this go XD
I think 30 is fine, I'd love for there to be more, but I don't think it'll be necessary. We had 29 in Melee, seemed to appeal to all players - casual and competitive.

Well, I really hope they make good ones that are fun, and some that are perfectly fair

Id hope for 60, but I really hope they but quality first, like test to see how they play and stuff, before they start another stage...

 

[The Hypnotist]

There aren't enough levels that are allowed in competive play. I think 30 just isn't enough, espically with half of them being banned.

 

[the grim lizard]

I see no reason why every stage ever shouldn't be available and return. It isn't like it would be too hard to do, and it gives a lot more options.

There should be one for every character, so say 20-30 new stages...50-60 isn't unreasonable.

 

[Got Blood?]

You again Sariku.Uchiha ?

Anyway,I'm hoping they'll have one stage for minor characters,two for middle of the road characters and 3 for big franchises.I guess we'll see when we play the game though.

 

[Truegamer#1]

30 tops...

 

[Salaad]

I'd like around 40 stages that are well made. (Not Like IC stage -.-)

 

[Jopaan]

50-60

50-60 is asking a little too much. Excluding classic stages, I estimate about 35, 40 stages.

 

[roy_owns]

One for every character and a couple stages for Battle Field, Final Destination etc. and about 6 for classic SSB and SSBM stages

 

[DonkeySmasher]

i'm guessing 7 yoshi/mario stages
3 stages for each major franchise
one stage for each 3rd party
6 special stages (battlefield, classics)
5 specific stages for minor franchises (warioware stage, pikmin stage (if olimar is in and so on)

 

[Hallowed Storm]

Judging by the amount of time developers are taking on this project, my guess would be at around 40-45 stages, excluding original stages like Final Destination or Battlefield.

However, looking at some of the stage designs they have released so far, I wouldn't be surprised if there were less... possibly a minimum of 30 stages? The released stages look fairly simple. If they keep making them like that, they will eventually run out of possibilities.
This is highly unlikely, though.

 

[h2ownage]

I only play about four stages in SSBM, the rest annoy me with their moving platforms and whatnot e.g. Rainbo Ride. The stages in the trailers look pretty cool thouhg so if they were similar to those then I would like thirty at the most.

 

[Hound]

40 stages?? Wow, I was expecting like 35. With maybe 30 characters.

But then again, you'll probably be able to buy more stages with Wii points.

 

[idontgottaname]

NO!!!!!!! not micropayments!!!! i want the whole game on release day

 

[Master Peach]

35-40 seems reasonable.

 

[Cubelarooso]

At least 40. All the past stages and the confirmed new ones, plus more.

Downloadable stages IS a good idea. It's a choice of having the whole less of a game on release day, or the whole game on release day plus more later on

 

[The Hypnotist]

Well we got half the stages from the 1st game so why can't we get half the stages from this Melee.

 

[JPW]

30 to 40 will be best estimate in my view. Shouldn't be too much more than characters though, be very ridiculous.

So far the 4 confirmed stages seem to go through 4 different cycles each different, I have a feeling this will be the case for every new stage in Brawl and some oldies redone.

We might even have a stage with Rain, Hail, Snow, Lightning. Or a stage that keeps on pulling in through a vortex.
