Choke on a tall nut Irish.tongue

Some of these stages are amazing, but due to the hazards, I just can't stand to play on some of them (I'm looking at you Flying Man). Because of this, the only stages I find myself on are Tortimer Island, Fox Arena, and the boxing arena.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle has the same "turn off hazards" thing that people are mentioning. Granted, all stages are the traditional flat planes with backgrounds that most 2D Fighters use.

Little Mac does not have an unfair advantage on Omega stages. The game was balanced assuming those would be the only stages played. The massive airspace only contributes to his weakness.

Sorry. Slight Berserk Button there.

[up][up][up]Funny thing is, none of those are tournament legal. Those would be Final Destination/Omega Mode, Battlefield, and Yoshi's Island.

Nabbit doesn't seem too bad. Bear in mind it was only the computers falling for him. For all we know it's possible to wiggle out of it, too.

It's still an instant kill, though, which is unbalanced by definition.

I sure said that!

@Nap: How is Fox Arena and Tortimer Island not legal? I understand the boxing arena due to it being a walk off, but what about the other two?

I really hate that 2d bird thing in the...Magicant or something stage. Every other hazard in the 3DS version hasn't really bothered me too much. Even the Yellow Devil (although I will admit that it is really annoying when it moves to the other side.)

Tiny platforms bother me a lot more (when there isn't anything substantial underneath anyway.) Also pretty much every single wall that stops my projectiles. I had Pit use the Piercing Bow custom no matter what drawbacks it has just because of that. There's also weird places like Jungle Japes where the wooden stair things totally look like you could stand on them but nope.

Is a walkoff supposed to be when you can go significantly offstage and still not get KO'd? (I find those pretty annoying too. Mostly because, well, you can't really see them and I have no idea just how far it goes.)

[up][up]Arena Ferox has a layout featuring a solid set of platforms over the main floor, which can lead to a cave of life effect like the catacombs in Temple, and the trees on Tortimer Island can produce healing fruits and potentially-explosive coconuts and durians. There's also occasionally sharks in the water and Kap'n can potentially carry a fighter off with him on his boat past the blast line.

All the same, none of them are bad enough that I wouldn't accept them as counterpicks, at least. Same goes for Reset Bomb Forest.

[up]Walkoff stages are stages where the edges of the ground extend past the blast line on the sides- So, stages like Boxing Ring and Living Room and some of the stops on Rainbow Road and Prism Tower.

[up][up]In Ferox, destructible environments stop orojectiles. Tortimer's Island has a very short lower blast zone and items. I think they should at least be Counterpick though.

[up]x5 Maybe Nabbit is insta-kill the same way Galaga is i.e. not really if you just shake it off.

[up][up][up][up][up]Tortimer Island variations occasionally have permanent walls which can cause infinites. They're fine if the stage changes in some way (that's why Pokemon Stadium 1 is counterpick) but if it's a permanent part of the stage it's banned. Arena Ferox has a Cave of Survival (think bottom layer of Temple or Spear Pillar) which is bad regardless of whether or not the stage changes, and it's also extremely to circle-camp on with most of the variations.

I'm still honestly confused why Tomodachi Life is banned, though. I mean, it doesn't even have any hazards.

Magicant is my favorite stage, and it's actually because of the Flying Men.

Also, a tip for you guys; the Flying Men die after receiving a certain amount of damage. Also, no more than 5 can spawn in one match.

The biggest issue with Tortimer Island is that its ledges cannot be grabbed.

[up][up][up]It's easy to force a chase on that stage, basically.

So yeah, it's banned because of people being assholes and abusing the standard of time limits.

[up][up]They are also total badasses and are hard to shake off.

I don't recall the Flying Men ever appearing in All-Star Mode, although Yellow Devil is still a thing. Also, Yellow Devil can be attacked from behind if the character's attack can reach his eye.

Stage bosses just turn the match into a waiting game. It's more fun than actually trying to fight when they're around.

[up][up]Which is awful because that means there's an internal hazard switch for at least some stages but the player can't ever access it.
