Stage ranking

[Vigilante]

I thought it would be a cool survey to run. I'm wondering, all three games included, which stages you guys prefer as a whole. Game mechanics aside, I'm interested only in the design of the stage that appeals to you the most. In other words, if you think Brawl sucks, but you like a stage in Brawl, don't let your dislike for Brawl affect your choice:

Here is how this will be organized:

Your appreciation will be on a likert scale.

The question for each stage is: On a scale of 1 to 5, how much do you like the design of this stage?

1 = Not at all.
2 = A little.
3 = Moderately.
4 = A lot.
5 = Extremely.

I will tally up the results in an Excel database after a month, and show the mean scores for each stage. This is not a debate thread. Just tell me what you think .

etc...

Doing that will take lots of time, and i,m a busy man, so allow me some time to do all of that. I just thought it would be cool to actually have a statistical average of what a larger sample of us think of the game's levels.

i guessed on some of brawl since i don't play it i only went off of what i remember

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

my favorites:
15, 17, 1, 2, 10, 29, 62 I guess, and then fun ones that I like to f*** around on:13, 18, 41, 64 we threw bombs or waddod and junk into the mouths of the fishes or things

 

[otg]

This is pretty pointless, but if you focused on only Melee and tourney legal stages, we'd probably still see that Battlefield is the most balanced stage.

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

why would melee players vote on brawl stages???

 

[SSBMLahti]

I play Melee only, and I'm too lazy to do this ranking thing so I'll just post what my favourite stages are in order (that I play on):

Battlefield
Fountain of Dreams
Dreamland 64
Yoshi's Story
Final Destination

 

[Kason Birdman]

the ugliest damn stage in melee is icicle mountain.

peachs castle/corneria/great bay are the best imo. unless im forgetting one. pokefloats is pretty cool guy also.

shout outs to yoshi's

edit: story that is

My tastes are all over the place. 5's for Final Destination and Brinstar Depths! I can explain this discontinuity pretty easily: I like my tourney stages flat with edges you won't get stuck under, and I like my friendly stages crazy and interactive, so long as they don't have walkoffs or disrupt the playing field too much. I also don't like tourney stages that are overly redundant.... 3 platforms and so on. I only need 1 stage that does each thing.

Final Destination sinks a lot in Brawl because of the edges... and because Brawl.

3+ should be tourney legal as at least CP's IMO.

Edit: This may be a bit biased towards tourney legal ones, but I like tourney legal stages. They're fun to me.

I could play melee forever on dreamland64, final destination, and pokemon stadium...

Wow, looking at this I forgot how I didn't like brawl's stages nearly as much...

 

[OkamiBW]

Fixed the list...

Super Smash Bros:

1. Congo Jungle 3
2. Dream Land 5
3. Hyrule Castle 3
5. Peach's Castle 3
8. Saffron City 2

Super Smash Bros Melee*:

10. Battlefield 4
12. Brinstar 3.5
15. Final Destination 6
17. Fountain of Dreams 3.5
(28. Poké Floats 5)
29. Pokémon Stadium 3.5
31. Rainbow Cruise 2.5
35. Yoshi's Story 4.5
36. Kongo Jungle 64 3
37. Dream Land 64 5

Kongo Jungle 64 and Dream Land 64 should have their own separate things in Melee since they are inherently different. (For example, DL64 is much bigger in Melee than 64)

Super Smash Bros Brawl: 1

*Note: I had Sheik, Fox, and Pikachu in mind when assigning numbers.
