Smash Wii U Stage Builder - Now better than ever!

[Smash_Veteran_Amtoj]

I knew the Wii U GamePad would give us much more customization options, but when I saw Stage Builder in the Direct I was blown away! You can pretty much make whatever you want by drawing up your own stage!

What is everyone planning on making?

EDIT: Found a good IGN video detailing Stage Builder.

 

[Mr G W]

It surpassed by expectations by far.

I actually expected it to use the grid system but with more options. Being able to freely draw them is pure gold.

 

[TimeSmash]

IT LOOKS AMAZING. Just hopefully people don't make a million stages that are crudely drawn models of genitalia and turn the term Cave of Life into a double entendre

 

[Hyruleslink]

Git yo' gamepads ready!

Man... I am going to be so freaken busy with this feature...

 

[Hellrazor]

Stuff like this makes me wish I was creative.

Time to fill the HDD with phallic battlefields.

Don't worry...I'll make it if no one else does...

Anyways, I was really impressed with it

 

[MrBond]

Good thing Stage Creator is back, now I can play Box matches again!

 

[TimeSmash]

You could make some really cool crap, if inclined and artistically talented. Or make giant **** stages. So you really have the best of both worlds.

I now await the Luigi Death Stare stage, the sexy Rosalina stage, the Peach Panties stage and several others

This Stage Builder seriously exceeded my expectations. Check this out:

The blast zones are visible in the top picture... and walls were drawn past them. WALKOFF STAGES.

Stage builder is 10x better than it was before. Only complaint is limited amount of backgrounds.

Hopefully DLC can remedy that.

Could you imagine Nintendo going all out for DLC and having fan contests or votes for new stage background and other aesthetic stuff? Wouldn't that be nice

I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy

It's exactly what I wanted!! I had two hopes: hand drawing stages and the ability to share with the world.

There's going to be an unlimited amount of stages to play with friends!

Was it confirmed that you would be able to download stages from other (unknown) people? I didnt see that...

Not sure, but I think they said you'd be able to share pictures. Stages probably won't be excluded.

In fact, it's fact #51!

It won't be available immediately though... just like several other features in the Wii U version it seems.


edit: I guess its worded kind of vague... he says sharing pictures mii's stages etc with friends, and then "even posting online to share with the world."

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who made this. My cousin was complaining about always falling off the edge, so I made this so she stood a chance.

 

[Speculator]

I'd love it if by "creating stages on the GamePad" it means you can draw terrain using the gamepad. It'd make it much easier to recreate beloved stages like Hyrule Temple and things if you could actually map them out yourself instead of having to use just drag-and-drop blocks.

Either way, I'm hoping that since Stage Builder is a Wii U exclusive feature that it'll make the most of the hardware. Brawl SB was limited mostly thanks to the Wii's puny hardware, but the Wii U is more than capable of a great editor if the 3DS isn't holding it back.

Called it.

 

[Shog]

Called it.

I am going to like your post simply because coffee mug olimar avatar fits it so much

 

[D-idara]

**** confirmed as stage.
Just throwin' that out, it's the first stage I'm going to make for sure, maybe I'll try to draw my OC to fight on top of him :v

 

[ChrisP4]

In b4 penis stage.

Stage builder does looks amazing though, there will be soo many awesome custom stages I can't wait. I guess the gamepad might be useful after all

 

[SuperFroakie64DS]

I'm most likely going to remake SSB3D stages first. Still, that's one amazing stage builder.

 

[Spirst]

Now I can finally make an ant colony stage.
Hooray for stage builder actually being good now.

 

[SmashWolf]

I love this feature the most, and is probably the main thing that makes me lean towards buying the Wii U version.

 

[Empyrean]

This is exactly what I wanted. Good job delivering, Nintendo.

 

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

I can't even really talk about stage builder that much; it just makes me too damn happy to describe. I am going to spend hours in it. So happy.

 

[Glottis]

It looks great!
Though it would be cool if we could set pictures from our personal collections as backgrounds.
Think of all the cool settings you could recreate from other games.

 

[TheGoldMan]

90% of the people who still go on Brawl's stage builder just go there to boot up Project M.

 

[Gidy]

WE WILL MAKE OUR OWN NEUTRALS/COUNTER PICKS

I do wonder if stages can be used online this time.

 

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

Three things alone make this Stage Builder worlds better then the original:

Controlling the direction of movable platforms
Walk off stages
Damaging terrain



Just that would make Stage Builder leaps and bounds better then the original. The fact that we can draw the stage instead of using blocks makes it...just so...see, can't describe it. Too happy.

 

[Ryan.]

It's really everything I wanted (besides water but no swimming in this game, so it's pointless). I love everything from drawing your own terrain to the animated backgrounds and the magma. I expect we will see some ladders and spikes and whatnot that will have to be unlocked as well.

 

[Khao]

This is more than I ever wanted.

I mean, I sorta expected them to improve the **** out of it to make it more versatile, but this is just ****ing perfect, you can make a stage exactly like you want it in freaking seconds with this new system. The new hazards look great too, I'll abuse the heck out of the insta-KO-if-over-100% thingy (I really want to make a stage on which that's the only way to actually die).

There's only two things I wanted that are missing from it; a separate background layer where you can put anything you want just for looks, and custom placement of spawn points. But what we got is so freaking perfect that I can't even care.

 

[ChikoLad]

LittleBigSmash

Really happy about this though.

We can now make our own tourney legal stages with variety.

 

[Kenith]

Not the only one who saw this

This is probably the most hyping thing about the Direct for me.

What is everyone planning on making?

PAPER MARIO STAGES!!!

Did you expected anything else honestly?

Everyone's in character here, D-idara is going to make a giant version of her OC as a stage

I'll probably tackle making Generator C, or maybe the Frigate Orpheon Exterior Docking Bay (both from Metroid).

 

[Kain6th]

I'm loving this a lot too!

But, What if I suck at drawing? can i still just plop them down like in the original?

Also i wish you could maybe color the stages. like maybe i wanted blue grass in my stage instead?

 

[the8thark]

I can't wait to be required to play a stage builder stage I've made for hours on end to farm music CDs, like in Brawl . . .

No wait . . . I don't miss that at all, but I think we'll all need to do it in SSB4 as well.

 

[NitrusVirus]

I will be the one to break the mold, and make a penis stage.

 

[Super Writer]

I'm totally making a stage full of canons. Just canons, everywhere.

 

[NitrusVirus]

For real though I cant wait to make my trademark gigantic boxed in stage lined with spikes and small platforms AND HAVE IT ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO KO PEOPLE.
