I whole-heartedly share your desire to read the backroom's discussion on this matter.

Your premise is wrong, as tournament matches are stock matches with a time limit. This gives fast characters a completely game-breaking advantage over slower characters, as a fast character can simply gain a 1 stock advantage and run around for the rest of the match, with the slow character...

I know most people are not completely ban-happy. But some people are, as we can see with Zero Beat. My post was directed at people with his mindset where only FD and Battlefield should be played. What's going to kill me in Distant Planet? I've never been killed by the animal unless I'm...

Let's take two people of equal skill fighting on Warioware. A minigame pops up, let's use the one you used. It's easy to dodge, so both players dodge. One is given a mushroom, the other is given a starman. You're now easier to hit to your invincible opponent. There's nothing challenging about...

How about using the obvious stage hazards to your advantage? Is that not a display of skill?

I know this is my third post in a row, and I don't mean to spam this forum, but I feel this point should be made. A lot of people seem to view any advantage or psudo-random event as a bannable offense under the guise that it masks who is really the more skilled player; however, this is not a...

Good job telling people not to post because they don't agree with you. This thread is about discussing the validity of stages, not about mindlessly swinging the ban-hammer at whatever rubs you the wrong way. You're right, people are trying to theorize exploits, but until they're proven to be...

Jungle Japes was counterpick in melee I believe. We should be playing it until enough evidence emerges to warrant a ban. Are you kidding me? I'm sorry, but your dislike of a stage is not grounds of its banning. Learn to play on a stage you don't like; it's not going to be banned because of...

A banned stage is pickable if both players agree to it. It limits your ability to play like you would in several other stages, but there is still a playstyle that Hanenbrow facilitates. To play at your best is to recognize how to play on any given stage to give you an advantage. Nothing about...

Being legal and being neutral are quite different things.

I really don't know what to think about Frigate Orpheon. I've seen videos of it doing really weird things to people, so I think more information would have to be gathered before it's officially banned. I don't see why Distant Planet should be banned. It's easy to stay off the walk-off part...

It's not about being at a disadvantage. Being at a disadvantage on a stage is what makes the stage counterpick, which is legal in tournament play. It's a completely unfair, random disadvantage that would lead to Warioware being banned. Both players compete in a mini-game, Player A gets a...

This topic is hilarious to me because you have people who argue that not a single stage should be banned and Warioware is a "fun" stage next to people who want to ban everything under the sun that's not Final Destination or Battlefield. Someone on the previous page said a stage should be banned...

It wouldn't be hard to label certain things as official. I personally would be very interested to read discussions by well-informed and experienced players.

The issue with this is that Final Destination facilitates both ground and aerial combat. The long platform allows a good amount of ground combat to take place and the open air allows aerial combat. It is balanced in that sense because a person who has a bad aerial game is not completely...
