Stage Builder Backgrounds

[Rhubarbo]

I've heard there are only three Stage Builer backgrounds...What gives? They should have had given the option of allowing you to choose from background from non-moving parts of stages like Battle Field, Pokemon Stadium 2, one part from Castle Siege, the Hangar of Battle Ship Halberd, Bridge of Eldin...I can go on forever.

 

[Unknownlight]

Because they wanted to make the real stages more exiting.

 

[Rhubarbo]

Yeah, but they made the custom stages more boring...

 

[tirkaro]

The BGs is what really pisses me off about the stage builder. There's barely any aesthetic variety whatsoever. I mean, how hard is it to just make a static background? honestly.

 

[Rhubarbo]

The only backgrounds are:

1) Sky
2) Warehouse
3) Village

Does anyone on this website do anything but complain about a game they've never played?

You don't need to play the game to know that there's only 3 stage builder BGs.

Lol, QFT. You can't judge the gameplay, but you can judge stupid backgrounds.

Not only that, but a simple option to change the color of blocks would have been nice... even a selection of only 4 different colors would have been ok! I didn't expect stage builder to be real complex or deep, but seriously, they could have given us a little more variety with the BG's and colors. All the stages look the same... dull grey... how boring.

 

[ConeZone]

oh well, can you choose the things underneath the stage, like water or lava?

 

[NeoZ]

No, but you can place spikes wherever you want, you can also place ice blocks or falling blocks to have more variety.

 

[Terminator guy]

So, can you basically remake the stages that didn't make it into Brawl?

 

[Crazy Ace 01]

Oh well, a stage editor is better than no stage editor.

Still, I get your point. Even if they didn't include the backgrounds from the other stages, they could have come up with new backgrounds. How hard can it be?

+ different colored blocks
+ a little more variety in the objects

My first statement still holds true though.

They'll fix it in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate-Super-Clash-Finale.

Edit: While they won't "look" the same, you can probably design the structure of any stage that didn't make it back into brawl with a little ingenuity.

DLC maybe? I mean, BGs/Stage Builder Blocks wont take that much space, so this could work.

or any of the backgrounds from SSE. I'm not one to complain but Sakurai missed such simple things in stage builder. I mean how hard is it to cut and paste or rotate a stage builder piece 90%.

Still I won't say I'm not grateful, it's just sakurai's logic alludes me.

Sakurai doesn't plan on any DLC, at all. >_>

 

[Mystery XIII]

i would be more satisfied if there were at least some pieces similar to the ssb64 stages and if you could add water, lava etc. even the target test stages in ssb64 had some variety why not do some here?

 

[Yoshara]

I would have loved more backgrounds and different skins for stage builder parts, but it looks like my hopes for that are shot down.

 

[Will19]

I guess Action Replay will fix this.

I want to quick bring this to everyone's attention: Stage builder is new to smash brothers, and therefore is not going to be the most fantastic stage builder ever. If the Smash series continues you can expect additions, but for now, its untested and shouldn't be expected to have epic amounts of variety.

Anyone play tony hawk? When was it, exactly where you could start actually building stages. The third game, I believe? More over, how many background were there in Tony Hawk, a game where Backgrounds and Schemes were even LESS important, and therefore easier to actually create? I believe there were 3, maybe 5 at the most. Keep in mind that Tony Hawk was a game that almost REQUIRED variety for a good stage builder, and yet they kept perfecting it and adding more variety as the game progressed.

The possibilities for a stage builder in smash are untested, and this style of gameplay is not one you would imagine would have a stage builder (although I'd been praying for one since 64). Please, remember that variety comes in time, but in early stages it is difficult to add too much when it is an untested area of play.

 

[ConeZone]

i guess remaking classic 64 and melee stages, and levels from old nintendo games like dedede's boxing ring will have to be reincarnated some how..

 

[gangstajuice656]

nice!!........

 

[Endless Nightmares]

The stage builder in Tony Hawk was amazing the first time they did it. Even with the generic backgrounds and pieces, it was very fun. I think it will be the same in Brawl.

 

[WanderingAngel]

mmm... i havent cheked anything bout the stage editor but with all this complaining im guessing one cant use his own backgrounds

 

[Rhubarbo]

It doesn't matter! Brawl has a big *** team of varied game developers. It's not like they revolutionized anything with the Stage Builder. Not only are the backgrounds an issue, the terrible blocks are. You can't choose blocks that look like the ones off the Bridge of Eldin, or the nice Battle Field blocks. The fact that you can build so many stages though is great!

(I was looking forwards to making a Golden Sun stage with my fave GS music, but they added the crappy Felix Battle Theme).

 

[Dreamking]

I would have loved a starfield or a stormy background.

 

[Viscano]

They should have put in Warp points, kind of like the warp pipes in the Mario Bros. stage from SSB.

 

[Zonic100]

Maybe an update or download from Wiiconnect 24 that adds backgrounds/lets you use your own? :O

 

[nitro_rev]

I think there are background specific parts e.g. ferris wheel on sky, conveyor belt on high tech. so it would take longer to make more backrounds...

hey at least we HAVE different backgrounds, so... i'm happy

Always something to complain about. If they gave us customizable characters you'd be saying "Why didn't they give us more swords to choose from! B.S.!

 

[SuperLink9]

They shoulda used the cafe background from that awesome SSBM stage... Hey waitaminute, that stage looked sorta like a custom stage....

STAGE CREATOR CONFIRMED FOR MELEE! :O:O:O

 

[tanfastic]

Atleast we have a stage builder. I tink there will be enough stuff to keep us happy! plus! the more you do the more you unlock so maybe a secret background by doing something with stage builder :O (That was just some wishing don't flame me on that)
