SSB4 COULD get balance updates, but that would be poor game designing. You shouldn't have to have the game constantly updated. People will find strategies against characters that aren't so obvious. You're better off doing a second update game like Tekken 5 and 6.
Kongo Jungle's a pretty meh stage, though I guess it would be fine. Yoshi's Island would be better though. Sector Z is a must though. I also personally like Hyrule Castle over Temple, but that's just me.
Great Bay would kind of unbalance it, since you'd have two Melee Zelda stages. Corneria and Venom are both inferior to Sector Z. Big Blue, Fourside, Brinstar Depths, and FoD are all good though.
CS is good. Mario Bros is meh. Pirate Ship is great, but not with all he other Zelda stages, and is a much better choice than Bridge of Eldin. Frigate Orpheon would probably be better than Norfair, and Mushroomy Kingdom shouldn't come back...perhaps if you had two Brawl Mario stages, it would be better off as Delfino and Luigi's Mansion. I don't think WW Inc really needs to return though, but it could. The last two stages shouldn't come back. (There are better Melee and SSB stages for Yoshi, and quite frankly, 75m would be better for DK.
Lost Woods would probably work out better on a train for Spirit Tracks. Glitz Pit should be replaced by Flopside/Flipside. Sauria is good, and maybe another SF stage, but three doesn't make much sense. For Metroid stages, a MP3 and a Other M stage would work out well, but I guess you can't really have a Other M stage right now, so that's not a problem on the list. Pokemon stages are alright I guess, though I'd swap out S.S. Tidal for Lake of Rage. Tellius as a general stage doesn't seem like a good choice, and neither does Storm Hill. Venus Lighthouse is alright, and I can't really comment on the Kirby stage there, as I've never heard of it. Fire Field isn't a really good choice for F-Zero, and I can't really comment on those last three stages.
I don't agree w/ the 64 because Sector Z is the same as Corneria only no Arwings and Kongo Jungle was good imo.
It had Arwings though, and was generally larger and more awesome than any other version of a Great Fox stage. Congo Jungle, as it didn't have a K in the first game, was fairly dull as far as stages go, and thus why I said Yoshi's Island would be better. (At least those far off clouds keep things interesting.)
I just don't think WW Inc will show up again due to the belief I have that the next Wario stage based around the WW franchise will have to use this gimick as well, and thus make WW Inc unnecesary. And if you're complaining that 75m wasn't any good, then what's the deal with having Mario Bros in there? :V
Well I'm under the impression that given the information that we have so far, the two Zelda stages will be based around Spirit Tracks and the upcoming Wii game. Since a train could easily travel through the Lost Woods, I think it works out fine if you just combine the two things.
Why wouldn't it make a good stage exactly? And while your opinions may be what they are, its more likely that a Paper Mario stage would take refferences from the latest game rather than one in the middle of the road. Besides, even if you don't like the mechanics of SPM compared to the first two Paper Mario games, it doesn't really matter when you're making a stage for Smash, which isn't a game like either. Lastly, I don't think the Glitz Pit itself will be a stage, because there are several "arena" stages that could pottentially get into the next Smash game, and I think Punch Out should be the one to get it.
But you're not giving other series a stage for each character, no are you? While 2 seems acceptable as a general number of new stages for all veteran series (excluding things like ICs, G&W, and what not) three just seems downright too much, especially as you're borrowing them all essentially from one game. (Yes, Sauria was in Adventures, but it wasn't really reffered tos Sauria if I recall until Assault. If you really wanted to claim it was from Adventures, then you should have a actual location within the place, rather than just the general planet name, unless you're suggesting that it is a Great Fox style level, in which case you're wasting pottential)
Red Gyrados isn't really boss material, since that should be reserved for Legendary Pokes. Him having a role simmilar to Palkia/Dialga's in Spear Pillar would work out fine in my opinion.
I like some new stages you mentioned like Saturn Valley but why no Bowser's Castle stage?
It doesn't work that way. The competitive scene gradually develops over time, with tier spots constantly being shifted. Remember how Pit was considered high tier at first, but now he's mid tier? If the developers were to balance updates, they are better off doing updates on a yearly basis like Namco and Capcom do for their fighters. Also, can you imagine the money involved to keep something up like that?
I would not count on characters or stages as DLC. Alternate costumes and models, maybe, but nothing else. Adding characters and stages as DLC would split up the user-base. Patches, understandably, should be free, but there shouldn't be need unless it's absolutely necessary like removing a glitch that can crash the game.
This should never be the case for any game with competitive aspects. This is what I don't like about the Smash games right now. There shouldn't be a handful of viable characters, every character should be able to win a tournament, even against the odds. As for moves, no moves are truly useless, else they would never be implemented. The proper description would be situational. The same goes for my super specials idea.
I can't agree with you more. The only problem with mute city was no ledges on the platform, but that could be added, b ut port town is just too dangerous to have a real match on IMO.
their fine 4 LOLZ but other then that not good stages
I'd prefer Karikio village because I personally hated Twlight Princess, and OoT is a much better game. I'd want something more "evil" for Ganon, like the Dark World palace from LttP, Outset is fine for Toon Link (Though a spirit tracks level might be fun, i like trains) and Olimar never went to Hocate in any of his games (as a stage anyway), any of the dungeons from the two games would make a better stage, IMO
I don't like the idea of Collesium and I didn'treally like stadium two, so i replaced it with three while leaving 1 in existense.
They could do something original then, now couldn't they? Just because it hasn't been done before, doesn't mean it can't be done at all. Plus, I would think that they wouldn't try to patch every little thing, but rather wait and see if there was too much fan outcry for too long.
Hmm? Why wouldn't these things be DLC? If a character or stage not in the game is only avalible through download, then it should be DLC, right? And quite frankly, a character or a stage through DLC would actually make the DLC worthwhile, instead of a crummy little costume or model that cost you like 5 bucks a pop. Thus either you have DLC that divides the community, but is actually worth downloading, or you have random junk that is just there to make money. Really, if anything there should be no DLC at all, unless its in the form we have right now, or patches. =/
If you don't think that things are never used, and they are all situational, then what's the problem with move swapping? If balanced right, it could create a lot more depth, and a lot more situations when dealing with fights. (and teh mindgaemz) I don't see why you think that the super specials are so different from the swapped moves.
