Lylat being a starter and PS1 being a CP for Apex rules, and Vice versa for the old regular list from the old AIB ladder list, so don't bash me too much), but that isn't the main focus I wish to address.
Here, I'm taking a look at Brinstar, Japes, Picto, and RC, since they're the banned stages on the Apex ruleset. If this is the rules we have to go by, then I wish we revise the stages a lot more, and a bit of the MUs for stage CPs/Bans.
-Brinstar
A place that I feel that can be one of Pit's best CP stages. Here, we can take on many characters, including Falco, Diddy, ICs, D3, and Marth, There are exceptions to characters like Lucas, DK, Ness, and Zelda, who are good on that stage as well, but they're not common. Of course, the absolute threat around here is MK, who not only hurts Pit the most, but this stage is one of MK's best as well.
It is because of MK's existence that I sometimes am afraid to CP the stage, the fear of a player having a pocket MK with em.
But with Apex rules banning this place, I think it could hamper with our stage CP list, especially if MK is banned. In other words, it's either
-Ban MK and have Brinstar legal
-Ban Brinstar if MK isn't banned
Tbh, I prefer the 1st option since I do want to use this stage against some other characters that can be troublesome.
-Japes
According to the year-old CP/ban list I've been using, it says that we should ban this from DK, Falco (this one is obvious), Jiggs, Lucario, and Wario. Idk much bout the place either. I do ban this over FD against Falco, though. Tbh, with it banned, I can gladly ban FD, though I'd have to adapt to YI or PS1 regularly.
With the stage banned, I don't think it'll affect us too much, except helping against Falco's CP options.
-Picto
I've been told ICs and Sonic are good here, and idk how much Pit is good here, or who can we use it against. I don't like it much, so I got nothing. I guess with it being banned, we don't have to worry bout Sonics stalling. That's all I have for this.
-RC
A stage that seems to be okay to Pit, good against some characters. While Kirby and Sonic may be troublesome here by standards, MK, obviously, is the worst here. Idk much bout it since I always ban this against MKs, provided the stage is allowed anyways.
I don't think this stage is too big of a deal to us, unless MK is around. So with it banned, it'll help us for the most part, especially if MK is still around. I'm not sure bout the Pit users who do use the stage against some chars though.
It is because of this list that I think we may have to discuss and revise the stages a bit more, since they can help determine a victory or defeat via CPs/bans. I also wanted to see the input about it from the other Pit players and see what we can do to adapt to this, and see which characters can be easier or more threatening to us because of the stage changes. Besides, I feel we need to do this fast so we can be better prepared. So what do you think?
EDIT: I've also added a few questions:
1: Out of RC, Brinstar, Japes, and Picto, which stages would you want to keep and which ones to ban? Would your opinion change if MK is/is not banned?
2: With this new stage list, what characters you think would be easier/harder for us to deal with
3: Do you feel that Pit has more potential with those 4 stages banned? You may also answer this question, provided that MK is/is not banned.
If you got any other questions that may be helpful to us due to the stage changes and such, feel free to late me know. We must adapt to this possible situation quickly.
