The main reason walk-offs are banned is that it degenerates gameplay around which character or player has the advantage of camping the edge. If there is a walk-off, it's usually an immediate KO for any nearby character that has a strong grab or combo game. Chain-grabs are another character-specific reason that walk-offs are banned. A player specific reason is that if you get ahead in stocks, there's no reason not to camp the edge as it will always put the other play at risk of losing another stock.Hey I was wondering. Are wake off stages banned purely due to chain grabbing with characters like Dedede? Or is there another reason for it?
Because I'm wondering if flat stages with walk offs will be allowed in Smash 4 if chain grabbing isn't a thing.
