Smash Wii U Stage Builder - Now better than ever!

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

Btw am I the only one hyped for the danger zones? With them you could place underneath a "floating" final destination like stage a safe barrier against camping underneath the stage(maybe some characters could do it)

...

With sharing, is it confirmed to be used in competitive play?

Box stage + circle of danger zone in the middle= craziness

I'm so glad they went out of their way to improve Stage Builder mode. I really liked the concept of it in Brawl, but I thought the execution was lacking. It was still a fun addition though, and this looks to be a vastly superior version. Just the ability to draw stages alone opens up so many possibilities.

Though I do have to wonder about one thing. From what we've seen so far, there are a few extra features you can add to stages such as moving platforms, magma, and cannons. This is quite a bit like how the Brawl Stage Builder let you place moving platforms, spikes, ice, wheels, springs, and ladders. Though, as it is now, the Brawl Stage Builder had more options in that category, while the new one is a bit lacking. Do we think we've seen all of Stage Builder, or are portions of it not yet unlocked like in Brawl?

Most likely, i mean i don't think they would be able to show all features straight off the bat.

 

[Kain6th]

I just know im immediately making all the N64 stages and Melee ones

And then watch the world burn...

Woah there Satan, calm down for a second.

I'm going to be remaking Fourside, Kongo Jungle, and Great Bay to the best of my abilities when this comes out.

 

[allison]

I'm making Fallen Destination, a completely flat stage with walkoffs. It's called that because FD fell to Earth I guess?

Did someone call Kenny Loggins?

Because you're in the danger zone

Didn't you have to unlock all of the extra stage pieces in brawl though? I'm going to assume that most of the extra stuff like theme specific platforms and other kinds of hazards are just unlockable or are not in the currently shown off build of Smash Bros Wii U.

 

[LunarWingCloud]

I will probably make at least 1 stage for each of the 5 backdrop options.

 

[Aguki90]

I gonna make stage like in project M! or even one for casual, Fun and BOX Matches.

But in reality we need a spawn point like, what place were going to spawn instead of a random location.

Not many people here in this thread talk about about. but. but. THE MUSIC!!! There alredy 400+ confirmed on the Wii U version.

MAN the music I gonna choose is gonna take hours! and hours. and hours... to choose.

Im really blow away by the stage builder and that what I call a update! Is really unexpected and amazing.

A deeper look into Stage Builder. Ability to turn off ledges? Check.
Change the pattern or material you're building with? Check.
Silhouette of Mario to scale?
Check.
Distinction between how far the camera sees and the blast zone?
Double Check.
Sheer epicness of this mode?
Beyond comparability.

 

[Arklos]

A little disappointed that there's still only 3 sizes to pick from... oh well, everything else is a huge upgrade and still looks like I'll have a great time making stages

 

[Erimir]

Blows the Brawl stage builder out of the water, I have to say!

I had some fun in the Brawl stage builder... This offers way more customizability. Obviously you can't reproduce some things from other stages (disappearing, reappearing platforms is not a thing) but the options let you make a lot of stages that are neutral while allowing a ton of variety.

And then of course you can make all kinds of zany stages too.

Very interested to find out what other things you can add besides danger zones and cannons.

Holy **** this is beautiful. I don't know how I can wait another month. Stop it nintendo.

 

[Tino]

Now I get to make stages based on my everyday lifestyle.

 

[CrimsonYoshi]

This is what I always wanted, but...



Can it do 8-player? If someone found out if it can, please tell me...

That's actually a good question...

Assuming the stage is given a centain size like in Brawl, maybe large stages will support 8-player Smash.

 

[MasterLuigi]

Time to recreate every stage that didn't make it to SSB4.

 

[liets]

Here's my concept for Sky Pillar (my favorite location in pokemon history)

That stage looks pretty cool! Making Rayquaza's mouth a Danger Zone is a nice touch!

Thanks! If there cant be a moving hazardous Rayquaza, this is the next best thing to me!

 

[Shog]

The Rayquaza picture made me realize two things:

First: We can make soo amazing stages I am still hyped(The Hype train never ends!)
Second: Why can't I draw T___T I had so much art in my schooltime and still can't do ****

 

[Mr.Seven]

I'm still going to re-create the stage I made back in brawl where it was a complete box, spiked all at the top, two spikes at the bottom center, with ice to slip into them, and the only way to KO was to launch your opponent through a tiny hole in the top.

But after that, I have plans on making a space station, inside a volcano, etc. (I ADORE the ability to now make walk-off stages!!!!!!!!) This is gonna be so fun. My creative side will be unleashed in all of its glory!

Well, intead of drawing, you can just mark the points of the edges to create a rough version of your stage.

 

[Vintage Creep]

It would be nice if you could at least insert the stage hazards appearing in the other stages, like Yellow Devil or Fourside's lava.

Yes yep that's definitely the one that has lava...

 

[Vintage Creep]

Sorry I meant Mario Circuit

 

[the8thark]

Can you make a stage with only danger zones and no safe place to stand so it's like playable character pinball till someone is flung off the screen?

 

[Smash_Veteran_Amtoj]

Nope, you'll need spawn points.

 

[warriorman222]

As soon as I get the game i'll recreate The Great Cave Offensive, and share it. A stage so large you can't camp in it? Fine by me.

 

[CrimsonYoshi]

I'll make a place only playable in Tiny Smash that'll be a HUGE castle (due to the small size of the people) and will have various rooms and traps. I smell DIY adventure mode?

Or maybe a really small level for very small characters?

 

[Smash_Veteran_Amtoj]

Or maybe a really small level for very small characters?

Still a pretty cool idea either way!

 

[NintenRob]

I'm gonna do so much.

Recreate my favourite levels from various games. Whomps Fortress, Clock Town, EVERYTHING
I'm going to have so much fun, its a shame they didn't use the backgrounds of the omega stages.

 

[SmashBroski]

With more monitoring from Nintendo, I feel updates will cease the Stage Builder Exploit, meaning no Project M or Brawl Minus, which I'm personally OK with; I want to enjoy this game for what it is.

What do you all think?

I repeat that what I said on various chats: You have equipment to "get your melee back". Get a punisher equipment for your dodging moves, get smooth lander, and finally put most of it as Speed Equipment.
That is what I like about Smash 4 btw. You can have as many options as you want!

And I am not such a huge fan of DLC, BUT: The more options, the better!

 

[False Sense]

Here's my concept for Sky Pillar (my favorite location in pokemon history)
View attachment 28373

When I first saw this, my initial thought was "this would just be a pretty dull stage, really. I mean, it's not like you could really have Rayquaza there..."

Then it occurred to me that you really could draw Rayquaza into the stage, and with some proper texturing (if we have enough options for that), you could even make it look like Rayquaza. While I think it would take some work to get the stage looking the best it could while still being functional, the fact that this is even a possibility is very impressive.

Hey, when the game does come out, be sure to show us how that stage turns out. You've got a pretty cool concept there, and I'd love to see it realized. Maybe you could even put in falling blocks to truly replicate the Sky Pillar.

Will do! And I'll reconsider how to work the falling blocks in there, that's a really good idea!

 

[False Sense]

Well, going by your original sketch, it looks like the majority of the pillar is just one big block with a cavern at the top. You could possibly hollow out some of the lower levels and have some falling blocks lead down there, possibly to death. Of course, this is all assuming the falling blocks return, as I don't believe they've been confirmed as of yet.
