In this case, no, they aren't. Flying Man probably should have been an assist trophy or something.
In this case especially, yes, they are. The Flying Men are included as a tribute to Earthbound. You know... the game that this stage is based on. The five Flying Men and their gravestones give this stage personality. There's more to a great Smash stage than just platforms with nice visuals. "The reason why Smash Bros has been so successful for over fifteen years is because it has pretty platforms," said no one ever.

I'm glad to finally have an EarthBound stage that isn't a town/city (though I love Onett and am thrilled to see it will return as well). The fact that gameplay footage from MOTHER and EarthBound plays in the background is a really nice touch. I was pretty pleased when I first saw that, though I'm not sure why MOTHER 3 gets no love.

Also, I love Flying Man.
FLYING MAN!

Whoosh!

Ummmm I'm going to have to disagree with that statement whole heartily. The reason many people play competitively is because they consider it to be more fun than playing just casually. Not to mention, I enjoy fun! D: Not sure why you feel this way :p I seriously consider Smashboards to be for all those who enjoy Super Smash Bros. either casually, competitively or in between.
Casual play doesn't have it's own subforum. ;3




...So I'll talk about it anyway.

People play competitively because they find it more fun why is that so hard for people to understand....
Big tournaments with big crowds and money on the line are big deals, and definitely meant to be taken seriously. That doesn't sound so fun, and more like too much pressure.






...I said big a lot. Ridley confirmed.

Can you explain the joke? Omega forms of stages have no platforms. Unless you really just have a hard time with reading comprehension.
"A terrible stage with no platforms and matchup problems"
There is no way to interpret that as him talking about the Omega form. Because none of the Omega forms have platforms. Magicant regularly has 5 platforms. That's all I was saying.

Hazards are fun for some and not fun for others. Personally, if I'm having a free for all battle with items, bring on the hazards. Of its a one on one battle with no items, leave the flying man at home! I never use the Megaman stage because of the huge a** giant exploding yellow man.

My theory is that they were making Hawlucha a character, and two moves in they scrapped him and turned him into flying man.

I don't play Mother but lol, I honestly think this chicken guy would make a good playable character, he probably was playable until Sakurai denied it and just made him a stage hazard instead.

I love how Ness has just been casually shown to us in this Pic.
"...Oh. I'm sorry. We thought you KNEW he'd still be in. Y'know, what with us vaguely hinting at the fact that Franklin Badges still exist; oh and of course Lucas making the cut and all."
