Sakurai Primes a New Stage: Frigate Orpheon Revealed

[Machspeed]

This actually looks like a Metroid stage that won't make me angry. (Hated the Planet Zebes melee stage)

Must be chaotic while everyones falling, sounds fun.

 

[Pieman0920]

Almost all the stages seem to have things that don't normally happen. Since when did Delfino Plaza have a floating platform that magically went to all parts of the area at random? What about Pokemon Stadium? There was no stadium that actually transformed like that in the games. Also Norfair's lava never was at the level that it is in the stage. =/

 

[Machspeed]

It's a fighting game.

It wouldn't be too fun to just fight in a generic background with no kind of risks or chances. All of the stage threats adds to the overall entertainment factor of the game.

SO FINAL DESTINATION ISN'T FUN? SCRUB!

 

[InvincibleAgent]

TheNerd: Yes, but will it fill with water in the game? Maybe the flip is to represent it being affected by Tallon IV's gravity, during its fall.

 

[Knyaguy]

Finally what we have all been looking for a Metroid stage without lava!

 

[Machspeed]

Well, I just play Final Destination when I want to play competitive matches.

If your just screwing around with your friend to have some fun, picking a stage with stage threats is your best bet.

 

[Brawlmatt202]

To be honest Matt, I have to disagree wit' ya.

It has some of those ****ed orchestra hits that I despise. Ahhhhh!

You have no good taste in music.

Ahh well, your own loss, I suppose.

The stage itself is pretty cool, too, I suppose.

(Hated the Planet Zebes melee stage)

Ummm... There isn't one? I thought both Metroid stages in Melee were on Brinstar... Zebes was the first SSB...

 

[Machspeed]

Ummm... There isn't one? I thought both Metroid stages in Melee were on Brinstar... Zebes was the first SSB...

Err, Brinstar then. Not really a big player of the Metroid series (neither do I go to those stages alot) so I wouldn't know.

Either way, you get the picture.

 

[Manny G.]

That stage looks cool but it dosent actually look like the actual game at all. i like 180° rotation because i could get a cheep KO with my best character.

BTW if it rotates, wont that mean that if you up smash somebody, the guy getting hit will hit the celling and fall back down? That would frustrate me. And i wonder how the gravity works like if in mid rotation, if you meteor smash someone, would they fall downword or to the side?

 

[burrito]

What I mean is that it is totally out of the blue. There are plenty of better hazards they could have had for a stage like this, and other stages that could flip.

As for the pleaides, it makes sense to have something to carry you around besides the Great Fox, since the Great Fox is actually extremely huge. Plus, it's not extremely out of context to have a ship flying around in the Lylat system.

As for the platforms in Delfino Plaza, they are a bit weird, but it's essential for moving around. The whole stage is supposed to capture the feeling of taking a relaxing tour through the vacation atmosphere.

As for the stadium transforming in Pokemon Stadium, I believe there were stadiums that did so in the anime. Anyhow, it represents the different types of pokemon.

Actually, if I remember, it did flip in the game. You return to it after you get the Gravity Suit, and it's underwater, flipped, with pieces of rubble everywhere. You have to restore power to doors to get through, and it's kind of dark.

Errrr.... yeah, I remember that. That's a bit too much of a stretch, though.

I still find it pretty ridiculous, I love that we get prime representation, but I wish that the level better captured the personality of the stage.

 

[Knyaguy]

And who is your best character?

 

[Lemon Drop]

Banning a stage before you even play it? Great idea.

 

[Manny G.]

Wouldent you like to know.

 

[Lemon Drop]

Wouldent you like to know.

I think he literally just asked you who your best character was.

 

[Manny G.]

Fine I will tell you, Its...............................................................................................

 

[courte]

anyone wondered if star ko's would be hindered?? i'd imagine that when the stage flips the blast lines for the top would change as well, explaining the high ceiling. But what if like venom hitting th ceiling is like hitting a wall and you simply fall back down??

 

[burrito]

TheNerd: Yes, but will it fill with water in the game? Maybe the flip is to represent it being affected by Tallon IV's gravity, during its fall.

Oh yeah, maybe the flip is supposed to sort of represent the ship as it topples through space. That's kind of coll, I guess. It helps get the feeling that the ship is breaking down. With metroid prime music playing in the background, I could imagine this stage actually being quite epic.

 

[motherfan]

I was like wow. I wasn't expecting a stage based on a Metroid Prime.
But what really made my day was to hear my most wanted music in Brawl. Porky's pig army theme!

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Err, Brinstar then. Not really a big player of the Metroid series (neither do I go to those stages alot) so I wouldn't know.

Either way, you get the picture.

I don't, actually. My point from the beginning was that you're not making it clear whether you mean Brinstar or Brinstar Depths.

 

[Tyrannotaur]

I really like that they gave Metroid Prime so recognition. They are such great games, why the Japanese fans hate them, I'll never know.

I hope this gives a bigger chance for Ridley or Dark Samus. We need a good Metroid villain.

 

[Machspeed]

I don't, actually. My point from the beginning was that you're not making it clear whether you mean Brinstar or Brinstar Depths.

Okay, if you really care so much as to what I'm saying, it's the stage where the monster claws the side after he rises out of the lava.

If you need any more clarifications on any other posts I post, or just my life in general, please don't hesitate to ask.

[/sarcasm]

 

[KidArtist]

As far as I can remember it can't, but in the game it spit something at you. I wonder if it will do that on the stage too....I hope not

Oh man, that would be annoying... and actually, I remember it as more of a beam type thing it shot out

 

[Magically Enhanced Hobo]

When they started making this game did they take into consideration that the games they were representing are all from the early 2000's?

(Good level. I can't wait to see how it works.)

Right, like Xananab trophy from that new Donkey Kong game, Silver the Hedhehog sticker from Sonic 06 and all those Diamond and Pearl pokeball pokemon we've seen.

 

[gigasteve]

If a Prime stage is in, then there's a chance for Dark Samus (Samus's dark costume was PHAZON!) in Brawl.

I know, it's good to know that Metriod is getting some recognition in the game. I'm also glad to see that the stage is from Corruption... perhaps Samus may get her P.E.D. Suit after all.

 

[AniMaL 214]

annoyed that a stage from metroid prime 3 was not made imo that was the best 1. mixed feelings about this stage. Stages that arn't tourney legal don't thrill me, but this could be a counter pick stage mayb thats a possibility

 

[courte]

as i said before and no one thought about

does anyone think the second platform will acts as a barrier for vertical ko's, knocking them back down, or would the blast line be before the platform, explaining the high ceiling

 

[Mad555]

Dam, I would have never expected this stage. I think they made the Parasite queen look kind of cool!!. Decent stage overall.

 

[Airgemini]

Which side of the stage do you guys think you'll like better?

 

[motherfan]

To be honest Matt, I have to disagree wit' ya.

It has some of those ****ed orchestra hits that I despise. Ahhhhh!

Whatever! It was my most wanted music for Brawl and it's perfect! Exactly as epic as I thought i'd be!

 

[orintemple]

I think this stage looks great. Both sides look good to play on making like 2 good stages in 1.

 

[Athos]

I'm really curious to see how fast the thing turns. If it goes really fast maybe you could just do like a short hop and be able to land on other side. It's probably a bit slower than that though, but I don't see any reason to ban it at this point. I mean, we still haven't even played the game; we don't know what we should or shouldn't ban yet.


This was a better update than everything we got last week combined. Keep it up Sakurai!

 

[Draquoir]

Meh brinstar depths with a less memorable boss

Personally I like this stage I think we need at least one more metroid stage.

 

[Deleted member]

Hey, that's a great idea! Why not have the place fill up with water and rubble towards the end of the matches, as the frigate plows into Tallon IV's ocean?

 

[Zindura]

I'm a little confused about there being platforms that you stand on.... and another set above them.

Will the platforms above be solid? Will vertical KOs be impossible on this stage?

Regardless of this potential problem, I really like this stage. I personally loved Brinstar and Brinstar Depths, and this looks a bit more simple and elegant.

 

[2007]

This stage looks sweet.
=2007=

 

[FreakyVoiceDude]

I like the idea of a power-outage with the neon platforms, lighting effects on the stages is a nice touch Melee lacked. The platform switch is handled relatively well, not the most amazing innovation but mildly fun. Fine looking stage.

 

[axemangx]

Is it me or does Sakurai love the whole Metroid boss-in-the-backround type stages?
