Is that the same Pac Man stage as in the 3DS one? I can definitely live without it.

nah, it's different, but if you don't care to have all stages, I'd say it's not worth it

Pac Man's stage is definitely dull. The 3DS one is better

 

[Deleted member]

also, Smash Tour looks...really bad, if they didn't make a stage unlockable that way, I'm sure everyone would only touch it once to see how it is and cringe in horror

Smash Tour is terribly bland and there isn't much to it. When people come over, 99.99% of the time, they would Smash instead of play Smash Tour.
I wouldn't have touched this mode if it wasn't involved in the unlock methods for Pac-Land, a song, and a trophy of Riki.

Ya know what's funny? I find Classic Mode super-exploitable through this sort of method. Most of the time I just don't do anything which renders the opponent try to get either close (in hilarious twitched A.I-way) and me just going for items or letting other CPUs pelt each other until they die due killing each other outright or by the stage hazards. It's hilarious.

I wonder if it works on the Wii U version...
I should try this myself on Intensity 9.

Pac Man's stage is definitely dull. The 3DS one is better

To be honest, I prefer it if Pac-Maze was on both the Wii U and 3DS versions. Pac-Land, in my opinion, is a terrible stage.

that's the vibe I got from it when I saw it on streams, and I agree with the latter sentence! I also wouldn't have minded Gerudo Valley over Skyloft (or any of the 2 returning Zelda stages really) and Magicant, but ah well, we can't get it all.

 

[Hong]

I prefer Pac-Land to Pac-Maze, because at least in Pac-Land people die when you hit them.

Of course that's like saying "I prefer stepping on wyvern dung in a dark room as opposed to LEGO." Nothing really to be had with either.

BWHAHAHAHA .

God that is HILARIOUS. Seriously, I was really sick of the whole Peach flirting with Link thing. Good on you Zelda, you tell the princess to be Peachy somewhere else (though I guess Zelda doesn't give Link much sugar, huh )

Speak of Zelda, Pikachey99, how did you know that I would love that Zelda book and Link hat that you did on my avatar draw? Cause their AWESOME )

Zelda making a comeback 2k14

Well I was just lurking when you were asking for someone to make your avatar and you were asking if he could be holding a book, so I added that. You also mentioned how if he has a link hat on it would make it even better, so I added that. I made the book related to LoZ because I figured you liked LoZ.
As you can see, I'm always 3 steps ahead.

I'm back. Man, I hate, hate, hate, hate Smashboards mobile.

Mobile is atrocious, but I always use it. I feel your pain.

YOU GOD DAM TAKE THAT BACK! .

If anything, Gerudo Valley should have replaced Bridge of Eldin, or even better, have Bridge of Eldin replaced with Hyrule Castle 64. Serious. Why the hell would you get rid of Skyloft? And if beeter not be becasue "It basically a Delfino Plaza Rip off" because that doesn't count. I mean, they really didn't have much other choice when designing that stage. How would you design it? (don't stay PM style, that one is really bland)

Yes to replacing Bridge of Eldin. Gosh, I'd even take Termina: Great Bay over this.

I actually like Pac-Land just because of the music. Also because it's easy to see the characters because of the MS Paint BG.

I honestly like the visuals for that stage, myself. It's not Picasso, but the colours are bright, clear, and it's easy to see what's going on.

So I bought a Pikachu amiibo today and spent about two hours training him up to his max level of 50. This little punk has some serious sass to him now. I underestimated him in the first serious match I had with him at lvl 50 and he ended up trolling me hard. There was an interval where he would wait on the ledge and not do anything up until I got back on stage which he would bait me to put up my shield, then he grabs me. In the same match he would do nothing but roll and airdodge whenever I would grab him for if I tried to hit him with just about anything, he would perfect shield it. I got super frustrated and when I was down to my last stock, I learned that I was playing right in his hands, but I couldn't calm down and suffered my first loss against him.

So pretty much; amiibos are dumb to fight against, but are much better to play against than regular CPUs.

I'd take Hyrule Castle and Pirate Ship or Gerudo Valley over both returning Zelda stages myself. Eldin Bridge is just dull, and Temple ended up being my most disappointing stage in Melee, it's big, but it's such a pain to KO everyone due to the crappy layout/bouncing physics present. While we are at it, why not replace Colosseum too?

I would like something specific as far as Fire Emblem goes. I mean we have all of these options but Sakurai goes with being generic. The Mila Tree would be something I'd love to see since it already looked pretty good in Awakening, and seeing it in HD would just

I'm okay with Castle Siege but it wouldn't hurt to have something not-Brawl

yeeeeesh, more twitch stuff!

While generic, Castle Siege at least has a decent landscape variety, can't really say the same of the new FE stages, IMO at least. I'd also love more specific in-game locations than the 2 console stages we've gotten so far.

[Dropkick Laser]

Ack. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to install gimp on a windows computer. Any suggestions?

And as far as stages go, they could have made a Awakening styled version of Castle Siege that begins in the ruined future (stage transformations 1 and 2), then has the characters teleport to the past (transformation 3) with the burning forest and stuff. Or Nintendo could actually be creative and give us an entirely stage. But -you know- Nintendo.

At the very least it seems we can all agree that Bridge of Eldin is a terrible stage. I actually like Hyrule Temple....for all the wrong reasons.

Exactly. I was okay with arena Ferox for an Awakening rep, but they could have done something a bit more colorful imo. Though that concept of the naval battle from Chapter 14 from Awakening sounded pretty cool. I wouldn't mind seeing Chapter 11's setting get turned into a stage (with of course the song to go with it).

As for stages outside of Awakening though, I think that the castle/base area from chapter 9 of Path of Radiance could be an option. It's got a beach area along with the whole castle and forest part and could be pretty pleasing to look at from either perspective of the map. Another location to think about would be Serenes Forest from Chapter 17. You could fight in front or even on that temple/shrine and maybe even have some cameos to those bird laguz.

Yeah. I guess you right in you own way. Opinions and all. Sorry for lashing out at you. It's just, I'm a huge Zelda fun and absolutely loved Skyward Sword and It just infuriates me whenever someone has an extreme pointless negative comment about. Yes, it had it's flawess, but so does everything else in the world. With the Skyloft stage, I can see why the designed it the way they did, to show how all of the stages beauty in HD. Which with a stage like PM's skyfolt stage, you can really do that. Again, sorry for raging at you *bows head*

Speaking of Stages, I wonder why they didn't bring back the pirate ship stages from Wind Waker, especially with the HD remake of it?

don't use Windows
What part are you stuck on? All you have to do is download the installer and click "Install"

What do I do after that? I click finish, and then I can't find it.

 

[Drakonis]

Ack. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to install gimp on a windows computer. Any suggestions?

Make sure you downloaded the Windows version of gimp (or more precisely, the Windows installer). Other than that, I can't imagine you running into any problems. It's pretty much as easy as it could be...
EDIT: When you're finished with the installation it should either have put a gimp icon on your desktop or should be easily findable by clicking the windows button and entering gimp into the search. What version of Windows are you using, btw?

Apparently I'm the only one who likes the Bridge of Eldin for the beautiful (albeit a little forced) "bridge against sunset/rise" setting alone? I mean, walkoff and huge gap in the middle 50% of the time isn't that good, but back in Brawl days, it was one of the most fun stages. Though looking back, Brawl's stages kinda sucked. Not by much, and there where some really good ones like Pirate Ship, but the majority of them where pretty meh.

Every time someone says they hate Skyward Sword I die a little inside.

The truth can be hard to swallow sometimes.
The best solution is to get over it, stab your best friend a little less than anticipated and then proceed to kill your father and your evil demonic god dragon doppelganger.
That's how I deal with uncomfortable truths.

 

[Moydow]

What do I do after that? I click finish, and then I can't find it.

If it's not on the desktop or Start menu, then
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.8.exe
then put shortcuts to that on your desktop/taskbar/etc.

Okay, it's working. I'm an idiot. Thank you, @ Moydow and @ Drakonis .

I don't like Pac-Maze at all. It gives me 25M vibes, which is never a good thing. Ditto on Balloon Fight. Cool concept, infuriating execution.

Also, from what I've seen, we only get two Pokémon stages- a cool one admittedly, and one of the blandest returning. It's sad when the 3DS has your franchise beat on stages. Kalos League looks awesome, but on the 3DS, we got two new actually related to the game stages.

Not too familiar with Zelda, but as mentioned before, I can relate with Stadium 2 returning. Heck, I'd take them just adding one of the two 3DS stages instead or bringing back Saffron City, Spear Pillar, or even POKEFLOATS over Stadium or Stadium 2. Unova League in HD... Yes!

In case you haven't figured out- I really dislike Stadium 2. Stadium the original I tolerated, especially since it could be argued it represented the Stadium spin-offs, but they were dead when Brawl came out, and Pokémon had so many colorful locations to choose instead of just tweaking an older stage. I don't mind it in terms of playability, but rather in concept. Heck, if they kept it the same and renamed it something from the games like Indigo Plateau or Battle Tower, I'd still be a little miffed, but less so.
