Which stage is the most fair?:

[K 2]

Battlefield and Smashville. It balances the game for characters without a projectile/without a means to defend from projectiles.

 

[Meteorite]

Battlefield. I would say Smashville but it gives Snake such a big advantage it's not even funny

 

[LatexRhombus]

i'd haveta pick battlefield simply because nothing moves...smashville has that slight randomness that could give a player a little more luck here or there

 

[Tamoo]

Yeah totally agree with midnaftw. It has to be smashville, its not my personal fave cos i prefer battlefield but smashville is essentially a flat stage that has found a way to discourage camping and projectile spamming.

 

[Donkey Bong]

there is no such thing as a truly universal "fair" stage really... FD heavily favors characters with projectiles, BF helps characters that work well with platforms (sheik, DK), and so on and so forth.

warioware could be considered fairest since it ***** all the players equally lawlz

 

[syco1337]

theres no "one most fair stage"....
BF favors most characters with swords i.e. marth and MK
SV favors Snakes and also has 1 random moving platform.
FD favors camping characters i.e. falco and has the annoying ledge...
Yoshi's Island has the random things that pop up on the side + a slight surve= bad for projectiles

but the closest one has gotta be smashville imo....

 

[Slush]

Okay, now I dont see why projectile use/camping is bad, its just a tactic, like chaingrabbing and other combos.

For ranged characters, FD.
For melee based, BF.
For all, SV.

 

[zrky]

for characters with good arials, and need for platformsokemon stadiums, delfino plaza
short range:final destination
all: hyrule castle; it has the platforms and hight for arials and stuff, long surfaces for long attacks (i.e.:ike, flaco, fox's side B's) flat undisturbed areas for close combat

 

[pyrotek7x7]

I feel that Smashville is a pleasant combination of Final Destination and Battlefield.

 

[HolyKnight]

Fix'd

2falcos

I laughed hard.

 

[PoisonMist]

Smashville is fair but WHOEVER POPS THE BALLOON GETS THE
POWERS

 

[Ken Neth]

Onnett is the most fair stage >_>

But seriously, I don't think there are any "most fair" stages. It all depends on the characters playing. For example, BF is great for snake vs DDD, but then it's the stage you want to ban against MK.

And Poison mist is right. It's all in the balloon.

 

[Nibbles 2]

Smashville, definitely. Medium-sized stage, so it's harder to be projectile-spammed, only a single platform which moves around and rarely ruins air attacks, fairly nice edges... Just a great stage. And the balloons have the power to bring back Mewtwo (trust me...)

 

[Ken Neth]

Balloons = broken.

 

[PitMasta]

Balloons = broken.

I always go and pop the balloons XD

 

[Ken Neth]

Same, I'll drop anything I'm doing and go for the balloon at all costs. That balloon is too broken.

 

[PitMasta]

The balloon...it doesn't do anything does it?

I'm pretty sure it don't

its just there to float around and pop....right?

 

[squid696]

It doesnt exist a fair map ?!

 

[PitMasta]

It doesnt exist a fair map ?!

Well, i'd say FD is the most fair map

but people are wanting Smashville instead

 

[Ken Neth]

Balloon=Automatic win. You pop more balloons, you win.

 

[XxBlackxX]

^ lol ,thats why SV>All

 

[Samus_ABe]

lol if you watch my tournament videos i go out of my way to pop the balloon =)

 

[DKKountry]

So there's a chance to edgehog an opponent into oblivion and it might even be the easiest edgehog that ever was but then, just as I am about to hop over the ledge and steal it away from my competitor who, being so desperate to live that he would make a deal with the God of Hades himself, I suddenly see a small round shadow creeping across the ground in my peripherals. I look up, and there is a small, 2D balloon that probably took a game designer all of three minutes to render. The little ball of gas seems to be calling to my very soul, "pop me," I hear a voice in my head, "set my gases free" the voices say. I look down at my opponent, who is only seconds away from grabbing the edge and stealing my chance for easy glory away from me.
I look back up at the balloon...
I look at my opponent....

No one should ever have to make this decision.


*Pop*

 

[paulleh]

I'm gonna go with battlefield, and smashville.

 

[Excellence]

Smashville is without a doubt THE most fair stage in the game. It's well balanced and many characters can feel at home there.

This guy knows whats up.

This is perhaps the best post I have ever seen. I literally LOL'd. I would totally sig it if it wasn't so big.

 

[Dynomite]

imo i think its battlefield. finalD is fair but the edge is gimpy sometimes and tbh its boaring and many people camp it. battlefield doesnt have gimpy edges and platforms are more skilful than a flat surface

 

[Ken Neth]

Battlefield doesn't have a balloon..

 

[Xona]

Well of course no stage is perfectly fair, the thread asks what the MOST fair is.

So, the most fair stage is most likely Battlefield or Yoshi's Island. Final Destination encourages camping a bit, while Yoshi's Island and Battlefield don't really encourage that. Also, stages like Big Blue DO give a disadvantage to all characters, in the case of Big Blue, you have running off the side of the stage, and constantly trying to fight your opponent while trying not to get smashed into the pavement.

(and ZSS doesn't distract, most people don't really pay attention to the character, they know how they move and how thier playstyle is)

If it applies to all characters equally, then it's not unfair in that sense, but it doesn't quite apply equally. Side-kills and jump-lag differences are the main possible balance-issues with this stage. I do like Battlefield also, but I won't say it's the most fair, nor will I even say Big Blue is. "The most fair" isn't as bad as "perfectly fair", but it's still a bad statement to make.

(No, Zero Suit Samus doesn't distract any decent player. I agree, I was just trying to prove that the "distracting from gameplay" excuse is stupid.)

 

[Jigglypoof]

No. It is not Battlefield. I don't care what anybody says, it isn't Battlefield. In my opinion, it's Smashville. It mixes the two most neutral stages together. The flat and long traits of Final Destination, and the moving single platform instead of 3 different platforms, to avoid projectile spam, which is something lots of people like about Battlefield. Of course, Smashville has some disadvantages, but you cannot have a perfect stage, alhough, Smashville has the least amount of disadvantages out of an other stage in my opinion.

I agree, it's probably Smashville, but Yoshi Island's pretty fair as well in my opinion.

 

[Keblerelf]

Most fair stage is Warioware, because the tasks that pop up don't necessarily depend on the character to do it. You can stand still with every character, taunt, jump, w/e it is. Every person has a chance to get screwed/benefited.

It's kind of fair, but it's banned in tourneys.

 

[Deleted member]

Most fair?

Smashville! T'was an easy choice for me. When I play G&W It is unbelievably awful to have to play at Battlefield. If you spam G&W's key you get what I mean.

 

[Ken Neth]

Smashville does have a balloonn

 

[Keblerelf]

No one said it had to be legal.

 

[Drecker]

It all depends on character matchups : /.

 

[Nintendevil]

Some characters are overpowered with platforms, and some get ***** with platforms. Also, some characters do better without them because of projectiles (Throwing items up, tilted/seeking projectiles) so they need open space.

BF is too good for some, FD is too good for some. SV is the most balanced.

 

[mc4]

definitely battlefield and final destination because they are perfect in symmetry and everything is fixed. smashville is good but the fact that the platform moves in certain situations can randomly help a character, where as battlefield and final destination don't change. but no matter what because of the vast range of character move sets and play styles there are always characters that will have a better advantage even on the most neutral stages in the game.

The platform always moves horizontally in Smashville, not in certain situations.
