Orbital Gate isn't bad, but that one part with the three tiny arwings can be irritating.

I'm not a big fan of tiny platforms on top of death drops. Worse so when they move. Or have hazards covering a third of them. COUGHHACKSNEEZE75mCOUCH!

75m is pretty overtly goofy and conceptual, at least. Like, I doubt even Sakurai thought it was a good idea as a place to fight on, so much as a place that would be kinda cool to look at.

The music is pretty solid, too.

75m at least isn't as bad as it was in Brawl- the right side is no longer a walkoff, you can fall through the platforms now, and Dong doesn't throw as many pistons when he's out and about.

Still sorta baffled by the decision to bring it back, though. I don't ever recall seeing anyone expressing any opinion higher than neutral toward the stage.

I vaguely suspect it's because they sank so much into getting Jungle Hijinx functional that they resorted to recycling older stages for the rest of the DK lineup.

I sure said that!

Today's last day of school Smash Wii U report:

  • Only two people ever wanted all items on, most of the matches were "Smash Balls Only". (a few people seem to be of the opinion that playing without items is not how you lose in Smash)

  • People didn't like Gaur Plains, Wily Castle, Orbital Gate Assault, Lylat Cruise, or Gamer. Or the Omega form of Temple.

  • Little Mac and Shulk were the most used characters. Kirby, King Dedede, Captain Falcon, Marth, and Mii Brawler weren't far behind.

I think another reason why when I play this game in real life I am the only one that likes it is because I'm probably the only person in my school that loves Star Fox.

AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!

Wait, what's wrong about Omega Temple?

...Man, Omega Temple would be a rad name for a temple in an actual Zelda game...

Temple doesn't strike me as too large, but it is still pretty big and it sucks when people start spreading out too much.

And Omega Temple is an excellent Final Dungeon name. Throw in some All the Worlds Are a Stage and Final Exam Level for good measure. Of course has to have a Final-Exam Boss.

I don't think Temple is too large. But it should be the maximum size, I think.

Palutena's Temple is just absurd.

I personally like Omega Temple, just because it seems so much like it was designed as a nod to the "tourney-safe" version of Temple in Project M, before it was reskinned as Skyloft (I think?). You know, as a single part of the stage and the rest of the temple visible in the background.

Palutena's Temple is so silly. I do like how it looks at least, there's more going on than in Temple at least.

Palutena's Temple was definitely designed for 8-player Smash in mind but even then it still feels too big. You spend a lot of time just chasing players and avoiding the obstacles of the stage, and all the actions happens at the corners where people will quickly and anticlimactically die. Hyrule Temple has a similar issue with the action congregating towards the "basement" but it's well designed to encourage teching, and chasing doesn't happen as much, since the basement is almost always only a skip-and-a-hop away.

It also helps that Hyrule Temple has no hazards - something I think the stage designers don't understand was a major reason why the "big" stage was a success, since places like 75m, New Pork City, and Palutena's Temple are riddled with them.

I'm pretty sure the concept of Law having limits was a translation error. -Wanderlustwarrior

Why do you guys think that my classmates didn't like Gamer, Gaur Plain, Wily Castle, Halberd, or Lylat Cruise?

I do realize that I hate a stage that all my friends/classmates like: Pokemon Stadium 2

  • Gaur: Low ceiling, Metal Face.
  • Wily: Yellow Devil.

Playing Classic, I realize pseudo-FG spoiled me. Having to deal with the annoying items and stage gimmicks was infuriating.

I don't really understand the problem with Metal Face. He shows up infrequently and far apart, keeps to himself if you don't bug him, and is easy to kill. He doesn't dominate the whole match like Yellow Devil or Ridley.

Metal Face really isn't the problem on Gaur Plain. The problem is that there's a massive hole in the middle of the stage for everyone to fall down.

I don't mind Ridley or Devil.

... Well, I don't mind Ridley when he isn't on the side of a dominating player.

And Metal Face isn't a bother either.

But I'm, as I said before, not a fan of "tiny platforms with a big pit" lay out.

... No, I will not chuckle if you now post a picture of a giant Pit surrounded by platforms.

I don't mind Metal Face or Ridley myself. I enjoy their presence on the battlefield, in fact. I think Yellow Devil shows up a bit too frequently, though, and the stage is too small for it.

New Pork City literally only has One hazard that can only appear in three places and doesn't appear most of the time.

Where does Nabbit fall in terms of stage hazards? He's not as frequent as the Yellow Devil, nor he is as large and intimidating as Metal Face and Ridley, but he works similarly to a Boss Galaga/Beetle and can really turn matches on Mushroom Kingdom U around.

Call me Willy Whistle 'cause I can't speak, baby. Something in TV Tropes really drove me crazy.
