Stage Discussion

[Terrazi Terrajin]

They should have a Sex Hotel stage as a tribute to Nintendo's dark past.

 

[D-idara]

I think we should get both a Phaaze stage to represent the Prime side of Metroid and Nintendo Land because that Main Plaza Theme just rocks!

What point would this thread be spun off into it's own subsection?

 

[TheWhiteBowser]

I want to hear this song playing on SSB4 Final Destination

 

[Hawk Flindaeton]

How about the space station from Metroid Prime 1?

 

[fogbadge]

How about the space station from Metroid Prime 1?

you mean the same one from brawl?

 

[CardiganBoy]

Elisya, from Metroid Prime 3

 

[Zigzagar]

Stage Ideas for Wii U:
Green Plant (F-Zero GX)
Nintendo Land (Nintendo Land)
Skytown (Metroid Prime 3)
Pac-Dot Pond (Pac-Man World 3)
Desert Ruins (Sonic Lost World)

 

[Z1GMA]

I, too, would love to see more F-zero, but since the series has been dead for a decade, it sadly won't happen.
An Aeropolis Stage would be sweet, though.

 

[Hawk Flindaeton]

No. the one from the beginning of the game

 

[fogbadge]

No. the one from the beginning of the game

which had a stage based on it in brawl

 

[Zigzagar]

Well of course F-Zero had representation since the first game so they will never stop representing it aka a stage is not impossible

 

[Z1GMA]

True, it's not impossible.
However, there's been bad news around the F-zero Franshise lately (still no plans on a sequal - recently stated), so don't get yr hopes up too high, broski.

Just finished playing Mario and Luigi Dream Team and thought a great idea for a stage for the 3DS version of the game. The stage takes place within the dream world. The stage could consist of stage hazards based off the many forms luigi takes in the game. There is also so many different ways they could take the stage to since it is a dream.

 

[Zigzagar]

Then what will captain falcon's home stage be? The don't need to have plans for a sequel, ice climber never even had a sequel to begin with.

And despite that they gave the series a mini game in Nintendoland. Way bigger than one stage in smash imo. So I don't think you need to be that pessimistic about it mate =)

 

[N3ON]

At this point as long as Captain Falcon is in the game, there will be an F-Zero stage.

 

[Z1GMA]

Ofcourse there'll be at lest one F-zero Stage.
I'd love to get more, but it won't happen. (Not that anyone said it'd be - just saying.)
I'm tired.

Well Brawl had two.

Anyway I'm liking the stages so far, not all seem special but they seem like a lot. Especially if we're getting 40 stages per version. I just hope the WiiU takes the better ones, I don't want to think "Oh if this 3DS stage would come to the WiiU...".

 

[Croco]

A fly over sunshine/skyloft type map with one of these Gameboy games..
Mario Land 2 or Wario Land 1
Why? Wario's first appearance and playable appearance.
This music would also be amazing.. especially if it is remastered.

[CrusherMania1592]

Anyone wanna bet a Mario Sports kind of stage will happen? Maybe similar to Delfino Plaza, but all over the Mushroom Kingdom where it takes you to various places and see characters such as Daisy, Boo, Toadette, Dry Bones, etc play various sports. Thoughts?

That's a really clever idea and allows for plenty of Easter Eggs

Too in plain sight to be considered an easter egg.

Personally I would choose these returning stages if possible:

From 64:

From Melee:

From Brawl:

 

[HarryTheChin]

So has anyone discussed how Pokémon Stadium 3 will turn out?

It HAS to be a stage in SSB4 following the trend started by Melee...

The types that Melee and Brawl(Stadiums 1 & 2): covered:
Normal(Starting Two Platforms), Grass, Water, Rock, Fire, Electric, Flying, Ground, Ice.

So that leaves Pokémon Stadium 3 with the following to choose from:
Fighting, Poison, Psychic, Bug, Dragon, Ghost, Dark, Steel, Fairy.

If I were Sakurai, I would personally choose Fighting, Dragon, Ghost, and Steel.
Fighting: An actual dojo would be pretty badass with fighting-type pokémon patiently observing the intense match.
Dragon: Having a mountainous setting with awesome dragon-types flying around in the background.
Ghost: Haunter. Spookeh.
Steel: Generic construction building setting. IDK.

As long as there are no hazards :3

Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?

 

[DakotaBonez]

So, are the Skyloft and Other M stage ripped straight from their wii games? Like, did they improve the textures in any way? It would be kinda sad having graphics made on gamecube tech on the wii u, as the 1080p upscale would make the age really obvious. I mean I still had a blast on corneria on the gamecube and wii iterations of smash bros, N64 graphics and all. I'm just curious if nintendo's using the wii u's tech to its fullest. Actually, did they improve the graphics from corneria when they put that stage in melee?

 

[Frostwraith]

Skyloft in Smash looks a bit different from the original game, mainly the color scheme. The textures don't seem much different, but the resolution seems to have been tweaked a bit. I think the Smash Bros. version looks better than the original.

[Starcutter]

I really have little doubts for a nintendo land stage getting in the game.

While I wouldn't bet my money on a third Stadium appearing (mainly because it pretty much forces them to re-add the first two stages, too - I personally think the Pokémon World Tournament (as seen in B2W2) is a much better option).

Though, should there be a third one, I'd choose Fighting, Dark, Psychic and Ghost. Otherwise known as the types used by the BWB2W2 elite four. I think these types have a pretty nice synergy, with strengths and weaknesses going on between the four - much like the selections in previous stages:

PS1:
Fire > Grass
Rock and Water > Fire
Grass > Water
Grass and Water > Rock

PS2:
Electric and Ice > Flying
Ground > Electric
Flying (as in resistance) and Ice > Ground
Ice is beaten by nothing, though.

Suggested PS3:
Ghost (as in resistance) and Psychic > Fighting
Ghost and Dark > Psychic
Dark > Ghost
Fighting > Dark

 

[Vintage Creep]

My Pokémon Stadium 3 would be like this:

Fairy Type: everything goes pink and the place looks like a majestic hall of a castle. Full of ribbons, very royal and ****. Featured pokémons would be Xerneas, Sylveon, Wigglytuff, Chansey, Mawile. Aromatisse, Gardevoir, Marill. Ribbon items appear on the stage (the ones featured in the beauty contests in Ruby if I remember right) and give special abilities/reward if collected (even post-match).

Poison Type: the place is a big swamp with toxic waste in the middle with few moving platforms here and there. Staying in the pool even for one second is like being hit by Lip's Flower, only much stronger, so everyone has to fight for staying on the platforms. Featured pokémons are: Garbodor, Grimer, Koffing, Skuntank, Toxicroak, Arbok, Gloom, Foongus.

Dark Type: it's a forest-like ambient, every light of the stadium goes off and the place can be seen only thanks to few elements like Pokémons and the players on stage. Also the people on the stadium take photographs from their seats making the place shine every now and then, pretty gloomy atmosphere. Featured pokémons are: Yveltal, Sableye, Sneasel, Honchcrow, Hydreigon, Nuzleaf, Spiritomb, Zoroark, Darkrai.

No rotating fire sticks?!

 

[Priap0s]

I'm with my man Z1GMA here!
Why the f** has there not been a bowsers castle stage in Smash Bros yet? I have to admit that I never thought of it before, but now when you say it it seems so obvious.

I wonder at what stage stages get chosen/made. Sakurai has stated that the process of choosing characters is finsihed since way back and is done pretty early in the games development cycle. But has he talked about stages much or at all? It seems more plausible for them to get made and added later into the process (so z1gma, send the man an email so he can wake up and see how obvious it is, like me). That's a pure guess by me by the way, I have no clue ^^

 

[Z1GMA]

I thought of it, but I wanted to keep the stage fairly neutral.

 

[Kamiko]

That was mostly a joke post anyway. I was expecting it to get a few likes, but I guess no one pays attention to this thread. Everyone's too busy arguing about characters to care about where they'll be fighting.

I'd guess the lava would bubble or something before the fireballs jump out so they're not too annoying to deal with, right? This stage needs to stop not happening.

 

[PAPCGyE]

Personally I would choose these returning stages if possible:

From 64:

From Brawl:

N64´s Mario stage was awesome, in fact I loved all the stages in SSB, I wish fox´s stage returns with the original size, not like brawl

 

[Zigzagar]

As potential returning stages

 

[Bowser D.X]

I hope there are a few more tournament friendly stages so it's not always just FD and Battlefield for competitive play.

It would be nice if Battlefield had multiple skins based on various franchises for people who are into competitive play only.
