You mean a stage kinda like this?Online tournaments where many games are going on at once. and when you lose, you're done, but if you win, you go to a stage with the rest of the winners. It's a big enough stage for a bunch of people to run around and fight each other or do other stuff while they wait for the next match. Who ever plays next gets summoned from that stage to play their match, and the winner gets sent back to wait for the next match with the remaining winners. Maybe even add an option to watch different matches within your tournament. It's just a way to keep things entertaining while you're waiting for your next match. And maybe winners of the tournaments are awarded coins, stickers, trophies or even Wii U points for the shop channel?
Yes, but bigger and with more levels to it. LEVELS JERRY, LEVELS!You mean a stage kinda like this?
When I was talking about stage builder I was talking about online in general, not specifically in-game. Obviously, the big improvements Smash's online needs are less lag and more options, but its important to think about the online ecosystem as well - leaderboards, Miiverse, and how the games overall online presence asserts itself (after all, many are hoping for SSB4 to be a flagship example of Nintendo's new online ethos), not to mention custom content. For example, if there were a better Stage Builder, I'd hope it came with better online functions: search engines and rankings/user ratings of custom stages, the ability to leave a review of a stage, custom stage competitions, and a handful of Stage Builder stages uploaded by Nintendo themselves from time to time. There are websites like this for Brawl's stage builder but it should honestly be built into the game itself to save everybody the trouble.Implementing stages to be used on Smash's online can cause some problems. Stuff like inappropriate content is one thing, and the other is trapping some, or all players rendering the fight impossible to finish. It'd be cool, but would not work out very well.
