What are Bayonetta's best stages and stage positions? Her worst?

[Shadow Light Master]

Obviously this is going to be match-up dependent, so feel free to note notable exceptions in your opinion to your generalizations. But generally, where do I want to position Bayonetta relative to my opponent, and what are some positions she wants to avoid?

I feel her best stage is lylat cruise followed by town and city and then dreamland and then duck hunt in that order.

Lylat is easily her best stage because of how the stage tilts allowing for some crazy shenanigans with her side b. You can actually just run and side b on the ground, but it will come out in the air because the stage tilts. Also bullet arts can pretty much cover 3/4 of the stage and again when it tilts, it hits short characters which it usually can't do. Another interesting aspect is that all of the platforms are small enough so that her upsmash can cover the whole space making every tech option covered. Also its really easy to hit her down smash and get the spike because lylat is bull**** in that regard. I can post a video of my bayo in tourney on lylat if you'd like to get an idea of what im talking about.

Ill counterpick Bayonetta to dreamland all day. I can hide under platforms and she cant dive kick me. Also i feel like platforms don't help her combo game nearly as much as they help other characters. Why are dreamland and duck hunt so good?

Lylat a best
**** DH though, those asshole ducks ruin combos all day long

Lylat is a great stage, but I do love smashville and Town and City.
I am always banning Duck hunt when I get the chance

just want to point out. Battlefield is better counterpick against Bayonetta than dreamland because dreamland has lower ceiling AND wider death on the side so she will kill earlier and survive longer

Totally agree. I just said dreamland because leesinger said he thinks dreamland and duck hunt are good picks.

Go to around 5:29:00 To see the lylat gameplay. I knows theres more footage around somewhere but they twitch channel that records it is kinda bad at posting the youtube vids.
