So here are my initial impressions on how I would classify relevant stages in terms of small, medium and large. I think stage length is first and foremost what should be considered in this process.
Extra Small (112-120):
Yoshi's Story (112)
Wario Land (116)
Green Hill Zone (120)
Small (127-132)
Fountain of Dreams (127)
Castle Siege (131)
Metal Cavern (132)
Medium (137-139):
Battlefield (137)
Smashville (139)
Yoshi's Island (139)
Large (155-161):
Dreamland (155)
Norfair (156)
Lylat (160)
Delfinos' Secret (161)
Extra Large (171-173)
Final Destination (171)
Distant Planet (173)
Stupid Huge:
Pokemon Stadium 2 (188)
I was just going to have three categories (the medium in the middle, then everything smaller as "small" and everything bigger as "large". I decided to split them up with a much smaller gaps permitted. Just going off this data alone, if I had to make a list it would look something like this:
Starters:
FoD, BF, SV, YI, DS
Counterpicks:
WL, GHZ, PS2, FD
If I wanted to make it an 11 stage list, I would add Metal Cavern/Castle Siege and Lylat/Norfair. If I wanted to make it a 13 stage list, I would the one I didn't of each pair. My reasoning on the 11/13 additions is simple: there aren't really any other fair additions to the three mediums there. So, rather than try and expand the range that is medium to shoehorn some extras in there, just add another stage from the groups on each side. Idk what I would do for bans and I just wanna know what you think based on stage lengths. Ignore blastzone stuff for know (platform/wall criticisms are fine though).
*edit* got the data from here, I realize it is 3.6b, but according to the changelog there is nothing that has changed going into 3.6F.
