Sadly, the new videos show that all "Easy", "Normal", ect stages are the same for every character. Since Brawl was going to be so huge, I was expecting 5 different courses for each character.

It was also confirmed in the Challenge Mode update, where one of the methods of unlocking something was to beat Target Smash Level 1 with 10 characters.

I noticed this earlier... :( It makes me quite sad. Oh well. I guess there's still a chance that the harder difficulties will be character-specific, right? Eh, at any rate I can hope.

Though the "clear level 1 with 10 characters" didn't confirm the 5 total thing at all...

This has been pretty solidly established since the day they unveiled BTT in the first place. People just decided not to listen to the reasons put forth by others.

Explain what's so important about unique BTT stages, other than that's the way they did it before.

I guess there was just more thrill to character specific courses, and ones that needed mastery of a character to overcome the challenges of that stage.

It was never established at all. Quite the opposite, actually. There was a debate over it and everyone just assumed that we would have different course for everyone because we weren't expecting them to short-change us.

And it's better because 150-200 stages > 5.

I remember it being pretty cut and dry, even minutes after I'd first read the update. Then I read the Spanish update and got the same impression. Then I translated the German one. And the Italian one. They all said the same thing. I tried to explain this to everyone, but nobody listened.

You don't think that's a bit excessive? Or unfeasible?

Fact is, due to character differences, you'll still have your 200 variations on just those 5 stages. Not all characters are going to perform precisely the same way on them. They have different strengths and weaknesses, so they'll have different strats.

I think you'll still get all that on 5 generic stages, for reasons I stated above. And with 5 different stages, you'll get 5 times as much.

This really doesn't matter...

There will most likely still be records for each character...

If you think about it like this:

You take 5 good target tests from Melee... and then try to play those 5 maps with every character and see what kinds of different things you can do... (lol Link would win all of them...)
