Stage Discussion.; Tournament stages in MN...

I made this thread for many different reasons. For one thing I've noticed that the stages are a little different at every tournament in the US. Also, there has been a bit of controversy about how stages are done in the Midwest. You can read about it here. This thread is basically to discuss the way we do stages at MN tourneys...I would just like to hear what everyone thinks about it, and if they think anything should change. Basically just a general stage discussion.

One thing that I've noticed is how certain stages are sometimes legal and sometimes banned. Like Onett for example. It's legal at the biweeklies, but banned at OMGiggles. The St. Paul biweeklies are one of the only places where I've seen Onett as a legal stage. A few other borderline banned stages are MKII, Kongo Jungle (Waterfalls), Corneria, Jungle Japes, Great Bay (sometimes legal for teams), Venom, and Princess Peach's Castle. When I say borderline that means that it varies from place to place. Yes those last three are actually legal in some places, which really surprised me and made me check out how other tourney do their stages. It seems to be a regional thing.

One more thing for people to discuss...what do you think of the way stages are chosen? Do you like advanced slob picks (the way it's currently done)? Would you rather have it done a different way? A few stages simply have the neutral 6 stages on random and that's it. No other stages.


Personally, I am fine with advanced slob picks, but I don't agree with some of the legal/banned stages. I'm probably in the minority with this next statement, but I think Rainbow Cruise and Pokefloats should be banned. They're just horrible stages to play on, with all the constant movement and the fact that many parts of the stages (and lack of edges) make it impossible for a character to recover. Check out this Pokefloats vid at 1:50. What the hell is that? lol that's just not right. Also, I do enjoy playing on Great Bay, but admittedly I don't think it's fit for singles or doubles tourney play.

If I were a noob I'd incorrectly judge people based on their sig and avatar too. <_<

But frankly I don't give a **** what other people think...

I mean seriously, JS would you change your sig just because somebody thought those things about you? What is your post exactly saying? That's really messed up. All I know is that I'm not going to cater to what a few judgemental and shallow-minded people think is normal. (Not talking about you JS, talking about someone who would think those things.) I just thought it was a cool picture, I liked the style. Hope I'm not pointlessly ranting (I probably am)...but I'm just saying.

that you changed your sig from the one you made that was actually cool to one with cartoon zamus and peach with pink text, and i think it's wtf.

insults accepted, though i don't see how it's shallow to share my opinion on your new sig.

JS, I really wasn't insulting you, I was just trying to say...ah nevermind. Waste of my ****ing time and getting off-topic. No offense but I really just have to start ignoring some of your comments. Something always ends up getting misinterpreted.

lol I get nothing but compliments about my sig on Smashboards. So nyah. :P

lawl at this whole topic...

I think that counter picks rock, and I personally feel that I have more of a chance on sweet counter pick stages because I don't have the best skill but do have the ability to be extremely gay and do a lot better on stages that people don't like and aren't used to. I don't know why so many stages are banned, it's not like one person has more of a chance to get hit by the bullet bill on peaches castle than the other person and I have seen that stage banned a lot. I say that people would be a lot more well rounded at the game if they could play on a bunch of random ass crazy levels!

Thats me basically giving something for people to argue about more btw.

lol if it were up to me I would make it so that the only stages were FD, Stadium, and Dreamland 64, those are where the epic matches are...

Our best player is saying this....

And people wonder why East Coast is the best...stage paucity is demonstrably one of the reasons...look at the Japanese, too. It's time for the Midwest to get the fuck with it and only use about 6 stages. Man, it's no wonder the Midwest sucks so bad compared with the rest of the country; that and low population density I guess.

I agree. I'd like to just use the 6 neutral stages.

Did anyone see Sparrow vs SDM at OMGiggles on Saturday?

*Sparrow counterpicks Onett vs SDM's Peach*

*Sparrow chooses Fox*

*Sparrow wall infinites Peach for all 4 stock and wins*

Midwest is too good at counterpicking. :D

I think everyone if not most people already have an idea in their head of what is and isn't banned, and Onett isn't usually banned so no one worries about it.
