Official Stage Discussion- New Minor Update 19/4

[Legolastom]

If they make another stage on top of the great fox that should at least make it much more exciting... it could be in the middle of a massive space battle between star fox and star wolf and every so often their spaceships could crash onto the stage and those star fox bombs would hit parts of the space ship (kinda like the banzai bill from peaches castle).

 

[Kashakunaki]

I agree with Legolastom, to an extent.

I would actually be saddened if there wasn't another Great Fox stage (I'm praying for more than one Star Fox stage for once. Show some love, Nintendo). I think we could use an update. How's about a Great Fox stage on the Aparoid homeworld. Arwings could be flying around, fighting off Aparaoid machines and occasionally Aparoids would attempt to possess the Great Fox, so Star Fox would fire upon the Great Fox to shoot the Aparoids off.

By the way, that was the most half hearted suggestion EVER. Though, I have always wanted to enter the back area of the Great Fox fin (you know the one).

On that note, bring back the useable pipes in Mario levels! I loved going through that pipe and being randomly spit out of three other pipes in the original Smash Bros.

 

[weasleman333]

the mario pipes would be awsome

I agree with Legolastom completely. I loved the great fox corneria level and would like to have a new and improved GF stage.

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

They should have a "Insane Obstructions" mode. Where the things that happen normally in the stages, like arwings flying by and shooting you, or cars zipping by and hitting you, happen like 3x as often so there's constant mayhem. That would add some fun to random gamesets.

 

[Kashakunaki]

Nice idea, Dyce. I think that would be completely awesome.

Personally, I'd like to play a 99 stock match with Bom-Ombs falling from the sky. Ownage.

 

[Zinfandel]

Wants a stage editor!

Or, at least, a stage with craziness happening in the background constantly. The changing lightning on that first simple stage for example. More that.

 

[Legolastom]

Yhea more that and maybe even on the great fox stage you move through every level from lylat wars and you watch as the arwings fight other ships and stuff right next to the great fox.

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

I really don't see customization much in Brawl. Honestly, I hope there is little to none at all. The Smash series would die out of you got to create your own stages and characters. You wouldn't play anywhere but your own stages, and use your own characters. Soon enough, people would find the best character moveset, and it would get around the internet, and there would be a million people using that same custom character.

Leave Smash to Nintendo developers only. That's what would make it the best.

 

[Legolastom]

Yhea but it would be kool if you could play as your mii's (they have their own moves and shape the only thing custom would be their face and color).

 

[Super Smash Master]

The level in the new screens with pit in it looks like the Sky Temple from Twilight Princess.

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

Yhea but it would be kool if you could play as your mii's (they have their own moves and shape the only thing custom would be their face and color).

I agree 100% there. Mii should definitely make the cut. Give them their moveset and standard body shape, but you get to customize their face. There's a DS platformer coming out soon that you get to draw your own character. Can't think of the name, but it looks wicked awesome and inovative.

I think that's the Pit level. The one with the break-away floors.

We already know 2 of pits levels now (the one with those statues and the sky one aforementioned) and the games called drawn to life im quite interested in it actually and i think your actually able to draw part of some levels ... anyways back to smash um well pits sky stage seems interesting what with those breakable platforms and such but his other one with the statues looks a but bland.

 

[Kashakunaki]

I don't think so. I think it is very cool. That just might be me and my fascination with Greek culture talking, but I think it looks fun. Not to mention it is a platform stage, but not your typicalt hree platform stage... it actually reminds me a bit of the original Brinstar level.

I'm gonna agree with Dyce on the former part of his statement. I hope there is little to no customization at all. I want a game made by Nintendo, pure and simple. I think a feature that would be cool is if you had a color palette and you could create your own custom colored character instead of having four choices. That way you could have some more flavor to your character.

I absolutely do not want to see a Mii in Brawl unless it is getting shot. Screw Miis. They are cool for some games, but some... bleh.

 

[GreenMamba]

We only know one Pit level. The one with the giant statues is from the same series as the castle, as they both have the same flags on them. I'm 99% certain the level with the giant statues is a Fire Emblem stage.

 

[Legolastom]

Wasn't the one with the statues not inside a castle?
But anyways im saying it bland because its just like 3 platforms thats all but it would be kool if its a scrolling stage like the kid Icarus game.

 

[Solid_Sneak]

I don't think it's bland in any sense since any level with platforms adds many strategies. Also, the platforms collapse.

There's also a fine line between a non-bland level, and one that is just plain annoying.

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

Thanks. And as for the color palette, that brings up a thing or two about a well known fighting series called Soul Calibur. They did the same thing in Soul Calibur III where you can customize the color of your favorite character's costumes. I think Nintendo should take a page from their book because SC3 was phenominal. Also, Link was in SC2. Nintendo did Namco a favor by letting Link be in their game. I think Namco owes Nintendo this time around. Let's put a Soul Calibur character in Brawl! Nightmare, IMO, would be great to play as, but he's a bit dark for Smash (though Snake is in, and he's in M rated games). Kilik, Yoshimitsu, and Nightmare would all fit great in Smash and represent SC properly. (Yoshimitsu would even represent Tekken at the same time.)

In short: Come on Namco, give us someone free of charge. (Because I still want Sonic and Megaman.)

 

[Zinfandel]

Regarding stages I hope we get a few more stages with many levels (Hyrule Palace springs to mind) and more stages featuring general insanity either on-stage or the BG... eye-candy or strategically relevant changes is always nice.

 

[Legolastom]

I hope they dont release another stage like the ice climber one and solid sneak i was talking about the one thats (apparently) inside the castle not the cloud one.

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

@ Legolastom and Solid Sneak:
It's confusing when you two argue and have the same icon. One of you please change it? I say Sneak should, since Tom outranks you here.

ANYWAY... yea, I don't like the Icicle Mountain at all. Nor do I like Poke Floats. And I hate Big Blue with a passion. Rainbow Cruise, IMO, was the only good full motion course that was bareable.

 

[Legolastom]

!! Big blue was one of my fave stages (jumping on the floor and then just appearing out of nowhere behind your opponent was classic legolastom).

And i joined in November and i started posting 3 days ago lol but anyway how many stages do you think each character is going to have or do you think that the amount of stages will be based on series? (E.G. Link has two stages but LOZ has 6 or something)

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

I'm thinking the more popular characters will have at least 4. Link, Mario, Kirby, etc.

But every character, even the 3rd party guests, should have at least 2.

EDIT:
So take whatever the number of characters is, double it, then add about 10.

I'm saying 60... max.

 

[Legolastom]

How many stages were in the last one anyway?

 

[Wrath`]

if you go by your fourmula dyce you are sayin there will be 25 characters

60-10=50 50/2=25

 

[Legolastom]

Actually they might just put more stages for the more popular fighters and less for the newcomers and maybe even none for some.

 

[OmegaXXII]

I believe(and I hope) that each character will at least have their own stage like snake for example

 

[Legolastom]

Yhea well each character should have a stage this time round and im looking forward to the new fire emblem characters (they have two stages already they cant not be in it) and i wonder what warios stage will be of...

 

[OmegaXXII]

I'm just hoping that Sakurai will update the DOJO with a new stage sometime this week

 

[Creo]

Yeah I was wondering of Warios too. But of course, I am long waiting for the new Zelda stage.

 

[Legolastom]

Yhea you think i might be death mountain or zoras domain this time round?

 

[Mikezor]

I don't know if anyone has said this yet, but on SmashBros.com in most of Pit's pictures and his special move pictures, he's probably on his own stage. I haven't seen any screen shots in the front of that one, excuse me if I'm wrong.

Edit: Sorry, last time I looked at the pictures the one I'm talking about was an X, but now it's a picture... if you know what I mean. I still think it's Pit's level (if that isn't more than obvious).

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

Yea, it is Pit's stage. Totally obvious. We've never been told it was officially, but there's no doubt. Clouds, greek architecture... who else's could it be?

And as for every character getting at least one stage... there's no doubt in my mind that will be the case. If they gave Snake, a 3rd party guest, his own stage (and maybe even two) there should be no worry about every Nintendo character getting at least one.

 

[Legolastom]

Hmmm... im curious about Samus aran's new stages... i hope they put one were you are on that spaceship at the beginning of Prime 1

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

I wonder if they'll remake the same Metroid stage that they've always had?

Ummm...yea... they will...

 

[Sariku]

They'll be two metriod stages, one will be the classic one, with a twist, and the other will be completely new.

 

[Legolastom]

Hey you think that one of the new 500 mario stages will be based on new super Mario bros?

 

[Sariku]

Not sure, but truthfully, I never played the NEW SUPER MARIO BROS.

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

If you have a DS, I whole heartedly recommend picking up a copy of The NEW Super Mario Bros.

And I don't know if they'll make a stage for that. They probably will, due to its huge success, but the design will look as if it could be from any Super Mario game.

 

[Legolastom]

Yhea true but you know how each one looks a bit different from the other (Look at the smb,smb2 and smw stages from melee) but seeing as they have a Mario kart stage you think they will make a level based off of any other spin offs?

 

[Creo]

I don't know if you guys noticed but it shows Snake's stage in the trailers. It shows him in the Lockout place where he is behind Link and it shows a close up of him at the helicopter place.
