Smash Wii U Stage Builder - Now better than ever!

[liets]

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.

Yeah I was thinking of, say, two more lower floors and perhaps the middle hollow to the blast zone

One thing I'm worried about is color, patterns are nice, but how do we make anything look like anything if we can't draw with color?

I'm kind of worried about that too.I'm really hoping there's some interesting stuff to unlock that will help with that. If these stages are any indication we can do a lot with what is already there.

It won't look perfect, but in the right hands people can do some amazing things with it.

Why can't ridley and goombas be used as hazards. 2/10 overhyped.

You know, enemies like Goombas would actually be really cool!

That's what I expected. We get no SSE, so I need an amazing stage builder.

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.

I know right? It's so much more than I was expecting!
However, something that confuses me. I thought the middle square in the top picture was the stage itself, and the outer one was the die zone. But in the bottom we can see the whole thing, all the way to the die zones...?

Think of some stages like the Bridge of Eldin, they continue all the way to the blast zone even if we don't see that piece of platform.

Stage Builder in Brawl was the most fun for me. I would create many different stages and make up mini stories for each one, I hope to re-create some of my Brawl stages.

 

[liets]

Awright I revised my Sky Pillar concept, including the brilliant idea of dropping floor segments

 

[Drclaw411]

I love the new stage builder! Although I do wish the drag/drop brawl style stage builder was still an option. No way in hell I can free-hand Saffron City 64 stage.

There is a grid option. Basically you can make perfect squares along the grid if you want to be anal about it (lord knows I am)

 

[SuperFroakie64DS]

Here's a stage idea I made. I might do this before I remake the 3DS stages.

Black = Ground Red = Danger Zone Orange+Arrow = Drop down block

 

[Old Man Nintendo]

I'm hoping there will be other kinds of stage elements we can place other than the barrels and moving platforms... I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they bring back conveyor belts and spikes (I know, they have that magma floor, but SPIKES!).

 

[BerryBomber]

If bramble blast is not a unlocked stage, then I will indeed remake it with this 8)

 

[LunarDistortion]

By Danger Zone are you guys talking about the lava? Because unless Danger Zones are unlockable, there are none.

I'm increasingly disappointed in this stage builder.

Why? its infinitely better than brawls

 

[LunarDistortion]

Why? its infinitely better than brawls

There isn't as much customization as I wanted, no colors to work with as you're still regulated to generic patterns, no obstacles besides lava and barrels, a lot of options from Brawl have been taken away (Windmill platforms, spikes, ice blocks, falling blocks), and the PR told GameXplain that they don't know about any unlockable options.

Sure it's better than Brawl's, but that's not saying much.

 

[MotivatedDeer]

Wow, a groundbreaking feature that allows you to create a stage by DRAWING in a FIGHTING game. Truly a revolutionary addition to the game that should have the up-most respect and attention it deserves.

I'm going to make a **** map. Can't resist.

 

[WinterShorts]

During the times when I was a more casual but still sort of competitive player, I loved the stage builder. Ever since the days of hacking brawl for as much custom parts as I want wherever I want on a stage, I've been making a lot (until Project M came along).

I was so pumped to see Custom Stage Builder get this much of an upgrade. Draw the stages and see what you can make, casual or competitive. Stage builder is going to be amazing!

 

[Naoshi]

My concern with the stage builder is that there seems to be less props. Are there falling blocks in this (the ones you stand on that falls)? I'm happy to see we can draw out our terrain and map out how the moving platforms go, that's a nice huge improvement!

 

[Kenith]

Is Rainbow Cruise gone?
Time to make a REAL Rainbow Ride stage!

Danger zone is another name for the Lava.

 

[vaanrose]

In Brawl, many of the custom stages I made (and I made a ton) were made explicitly because a piece of music was in the game.

"Oh, Stickerbush Symphony is in the game? Well, I have to make a Bramble Scramble stage now."

So, I'm super excited to see what music is in the game, as that's going to be a huge source of inspiration. (I also hope we can attach multiple songs to a single stage, but I doubt that will happen.)

 

[LunarDistortion]

Nope, The Danger Zone is the red substance in The Great Cave Offensive that KO's anyone over %100, from what I've heard the lave is just generic lava.

 

[MrBond]

Does anyone know if 8 player Smash will be supported for custom stages?

If I can have 8 player Smash on a huge box stage...that would truly make this game 1 billion times more enjoyable. I mean think of a box match at a party with 8 people at once...THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

Pretty sure you can for the large custom stages, because a NoA rep (Go Nate!) said that the large custom stages were on par with Palutena's Temple in regards to size.

If we could add Ridley to custom stages I would have exploded in delight.

Sakurai don't got the resources

 

[Naoshi]

Stage Builder stages better be playable online with friends or this feature is somewhat a disappointment again! Sakurai pls!

Implying it's not already a huge disappointment.

I know right this one is worse than Brawl's geez Sakurai step it up

 

[Captain Norris]

Ridley is a gimmick for one stage and they probably want to have a stable framerate, so no hazards as of now.

 

[Naoshi]

Would be nice if the stage builder had decorations like walls and whatnot

MMPU had that kind of thing with walls and it added to the variety of building stages.

 

[U-Throw]

So, I'm just curious, does anybody have clear pictures or images of all the different platform types and backgrounds? I've seen the dirt, grass, rocks, and wood platforms. I just want to know my limitations before I let my imagination run wild. Don't wanna overhype about a The Wonderful 101 stage and then find out I can't make it like I imagined.

Not sure, but by now there must be plenty of videos showing off this mode in all it's glory.

It looks pretty similar to me. I think there may be two variations, the more realistic one in the custom stage and the upper portion of the Great Cave Offensive, And the spiky pattern on the checker pattern area of the GCO stage. The latter seems to be from straight strips, while the first is for curves and non-straight surfaces. Needless to say, they're both Danger Zones.

 

[Dark Dude]

I just want to say, I'm fairly confident that there will be unlockable parts. Brawl did it, so I don't see why this one won't, too. Plus, it's just more stuff to unlock, and unlocking stuff is fun!

 

[vaanrose]

Ice better be unlockable. You can't add lava and take away ice; that's one step forward and another step back.
