Seriously, next time I play a Falco, I'm banning this stage. Chaingrab to spike ***** you. Also Dk ***** you on this stage as well. ALWAYS BAN IT VS good edgeguarders.

It is pretty bad for Mario, it helps campers as well, and as the reasons you stated above. I also think it's harder to 'gimp' since well there's multiple platforms, and falling in the water after you Cape them gives them another chance to recover again.

Not a good stage for Mario, but I wouldn't call it his worst. I actually do pretty well on this stage since it pretty much depends on aerial combat most of the time.

This is the best place for campers though.

I actually really like this stage. If you're facing someone that can't camp well here, you can camp fireballs from one the edges (preferably the one on the right). Also, it has a really high ceiling so that can help versus good vertical killers like Dedede.

I don't know if it's good or bad for Mario, but all i know is that I totally kicked the **** out of a Pikachu that had been 2 and 3 stocking before I came here.

I find Rainbow Cruise to be Mario's best stage against most characters. I'd prefer to ban Pirate Ship, since you can't 'gimp' at all.

Jungle Japes is a bad stage for everybody.

And Rainbow Cruise is an excellent stage for Mario.

True about Rainbow Cruise and Pirate Ship, everyone has their favourite counterpicks, so it'd be hard to debate why we believe one is better then the other ;), you do good on that stage, I can't fight for my life on that :laugh:.

This stage isn't exactly bad for Mario, but it's too broken for Falco and DK.

*takes down a few notes*

♥This is arguably Peach's best stage for those who'd like to know. Ban it against her as well. ;)

In my last tourney, i banned jungle japes fighting a DK and won easily. I played a Falco later on, on that stage and got 2 stocked. Good thing i won the first match though, because i cp'd rainbow cruise with rob and won the set.. I also hate Pirate ship. I lost to Kirk's Ike on that stage. >_<

Yeah... you don't want to take Ike to Pirate ship. He's a beast that never dies there. >_>

BO, why didn't you ban PS? That's like Ike's best stage! You definitely could've won if you banned that, what did you ban instead?
lol thats the thing. I didn't ban anything. I assumed that any stage thats bad for mario is also bad for Ike, do to their recoveries. But now i know.

Hmmm... the only thing I like about this stage is cape gliding from the center platform allows you to hit opponents and ledge grab. Other than that though I hate this stage.

I had to fight the gayest rob in some online tourney. he CP jungle japes and litteraly shot lasers and gyros from one of the side platforms until I got fed up and tried to attack, then he'd Dsmash which covers the WHOLE platform! I got so sick I just ran off. lol

but if your samus..I love going under the platforms and tether to the center.
*completely off topic*

as for mario! I wouldn't reccomend it at all

Were you playing Mario? Couldn't you just cape his laser/Gyro and hit him through the platform with a Uair?

Also, for attacking him, try an FFed AD straight to your shield if you know he'll Dsmash.

Too bad, you can't jump on the Klap-trap, like Doney Kong. Mario has a lot of experience of owning Goombas, and the like.

But yea, I suck on Jungle Japes, usmash doesn't K.O till like...150%.

True... but it might have forced him to approach, which, in my experience, puts ROB at a disadvantage.

Mario could probably do some serious damage to Ike there though, just something to keep in mind. It's arguably Ike's worse stage.

Of course, the Ike player will most likely ban that stage against Mario. >_>

I just recently had a battle on this stage, and learned a very valuable lesson:

FLUDD+ Klap Trap= one less stock I have to worry about.

I was playing against a Snake and absolutely destroyed him with a constant barrage of FLUDD. Since each platform is so small, even an uncharged FLUDD pushed him off the edge, either forcing him to hang or completely fall in the water. Once he was in the water, I just did my best to continue FLUDDing his jumps and gimping his recovery. His second jump is so small it does next to nothing to get him out of the water, and once he used his Up B he was a sitting duck for a F-air, B-air, whatever, almost guaranteeing me an instant stock as long as I didn't knock him upwards. That, and all of this is assuming a Klap Trap doesn't get him with all the harassment. :chuckle:
