when that stage got revealed.
Delfino has walk-offs & Halberd has hazards, plain & simple.
Ridley shouldn't be a boss. Pyrosphere should be bossless and Ridley should be a stage. As in, you fight on his back as he flies through lava tubes, shifting his wings and changing angle a bit as he goes. That would make a far more interesting stage than Lylat Cruise with a similar interesting mechanic to it while remaining plain enough to have a fair fight. Plus it would really get his size across.
So now the question is if it'll be a starter or a counterpick.Welp, Umbra Clock Tower is definitely legal. No hazards, good size, good stage.
The platforms on Kalos KO fighters when they go off the top of the screen, so I'd expect the same to happen here.
Unfortunately this is the last of the DLC content. There won't be any new stages.
Is that confirmed? Where did you read that?
It's been confirmed by Sakurai himself since the special live broadcast showcasing Corrin and Bayonetta. Plus he also said in other sources that Smash DLC was going to its end. There's basically nothing more coming at this point.
I made a custom stage like that.
It's not in tournaments because it's the exact same as Battlefield -- having both would be redundant.
If it's the exact same besides being different visually and having different music, wouldn't that be more of a reason to allow it? They're the same after all...
I would suppose the only real difference is that there is a slight chance to get pineapple'd if recovering low. Even still, there would probably be some players that might wind up complaining about all the Miiverse posts going on in the background, but ultimately if the tournament hosts think it's redundant then who's to argue, really?
Miiverse posts don't show up if you aren't connected to Wi-Fi. I'm assuming most set ups are brought from outside at offline tournaments.
There's no reason to allow both Miiverse and Battlefield; they're the exact same in terms of platform layout and the like (pretty much all that matters gameplay-wise), so to avoid redundancy, TOs often pick one of them. Battlefield, I imagine, often wins out because it has nicer visuals, no distracting Miiverse posts, is more "iconic" to the Smash series, and has better, moe forgiving ledges.
As I said, Miiverse won't show posts if the Wii U isn't connected online for offline tournaments. I really doubt tournaments will set up Wi-Fi on set ups brought from outside, so that's only a real issue for online tournaments. And even if Miiverse posts are the reason it's banned, I think the ducks on the Duck Hunt stage are more distracting and that's not banned. I don't think visuals should matter in whether a stage is banned. Does ledges not count as part of the layout?
The more I think about it, the more I tend to think it doesn't really matter which is picked - if they have the same upper stage layout, then going between Battlefield and Miiverse wouldn't be strategic like certain counterpicking strategies are, so they pick the prettier one.
That's why I think Miiverse should be allowed if people want a change of scenery. I know I get tired of seeing Smashville and Town and City in every video. I can understand banning Miiverse in online tournaments though because of the messages. Similarly I think Duck Hunt should be banned because I get distracted by the ducks. They make me want to hit them instead of other characters...
The reason the exact similarity is a problem is based on principles of stage striking. Lets say someone has a character who's weak on battlefield and they have one ban. They'll ban BF and get stuck with Miiverse, or they'll ban Miiverse and get stuck with BF. One could argue two bans are warranted then but that would make other stages irrelevant.
And stage striking was the answer I was looking for. It still makes me wonder if Battlefield is allowed to be substituted with Miiverse though.The reason the exact similarity is a problem is based on principles of stage striking.

I agree that thematically smashville is kinda dry, but usually the competition is exciting enough to make up for it.
I wouldn't mind banning Duck Hunt though, it's really unfair to the links especially because boomerangs put them in lag and one hitting a duck and coming back immediately is random and unfair.
I also get distracted by the ducks too
In the EVO 2016 ruleset, Miiverse is listed in brackets next to Battlefield, so I was under the impression that it was legal as an alternative to BF (like how a lot of non-sponsored tourneys do omega stages)
Sounds like a cool idea!
