Wait, so my version from a week ago is still the same in terms of characters?
Seriously, they need to stop changing their mind, even if its just on stages.
Someone needs to dig up my stage post. All they are doing is ruining the potential stage selection choice. I'm not gonna have THAT many legal stages on here
Brawl+ has added lots of viable stages but the WBR is working on an official list. Many of the added stages, like Temple+ and NPC+, are just there because they are at least have more competitive value then their originals. Just because NPC+ or Summit+ will never be used in a tournament doesn't mean they can't include it as a stage for people to play in casuals and friendlies.
95% of the changes to characters in the newest set (GOLD) are bug fixes and a new camera was implemented. If you have been practicing Brawl+ for the past few months you still haven't seen any real major changes to a character since Marth's F-air was fixed.
Brawl+ will probably always have new stages being added and tweaked as people get better at that and I'm sure from time to time the WBR will endorse a few. The 'early release' is hardly a problem and it is being blown out of proportion. If you don't want to mess with the new stages for a tournament (which I don't blame you) then just use Veril's list:
