It obviously shouldn't be banned, but it's just as obviously not neutral. It's too bad, because the stage is cool.

Hmm... well, I'd like this to be counterpick.

Obviously this stage favors certain characters. But many CP stages do.

The neutral part of the stage is awesome, just like PS1. This one's a bit bigger and a little bit better, IMO, with better edges.

Ground is fine

Ice is a bit weird, but not too bad. It opens the way for some interesting approaches.

Some people are annoyed with conveyor belts, though I don't think they're so bad. You see them coming beforehand, and it switches the game to more platform fighting.

Air is dumb... but usually only results in stalling the match for 40 seconds.

I dunno, it's not the most fair stage, but I think it's good enough to be CP.

Hm. I personally love this stage, but not many people seem to. However, I would like to encourage reason as to why you believe this stage isn't viable. Saying "it's gay" isn't necessarily a reason.

The ice stage I find mixes up for different approaches, as some characters can slide with their smashes and other attacks. It premotes tripping, but this can be counteracted by short hop approaches, which many characters do anyway.

The ground level isn't really a problem to most, so I will leave this alone.

The electric field is again an easily solved problem via short hopped approaches that most characters rely on. Also, the conveyer belts make for good edge guarding tools, such as using them to head off the stage quicker for chase.

The air stage is troublesome, as it promotes stalling. Fox can stall on this infinitely, I believe.

I like it when I play DeDeDe. I love charging up my f smash on the conveyor belts and letting it go b4 I fall off, it's such a good combo o.o

Can't say that I like this stage too much there somethings I like about it like the power plant part comes up I like walking on the conveyor belt like a treadmill and I also like that floaty one.

My friends have imported Brawl (I still wait for my own copy in June...) and the few times we play, I quite like to choose PS2. Mixes it up a lot for us, with the ice stages and the flying stages.

The ground one seems a bit wasted though...too similar to Fire from melee. Would have much preferred another crazy terrain that actually alters the gameplay mechanics slightly.
