===Ifrit=== | ===Ifrit=== | ||
'''[[Ifrit]]''': uses [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Hellfire_(ability) Hellfire] (Called '''Inferno''' by [[Masahiro Sakurai]] during the [[Final Video Presentation]]). A huge flame erupts randomly either under the middle of the stage (raising it), under one of its sides (heavily tilting it to the side), or from one of the lateral [[blast line]]s (pushing the stage towards the other lateral blast line). Contact with the main body of the flame deals 26%, while contact with its weaker parts deals 1% with no knockback. The summoner is immune. Unlike the rest of the summons, Ifrit's design comes from ''{{iw|wikipedia|Final Fantasy VIII}}'' rather than ''Final Fantasy VII''. | |||

'''[[Ramuh]]''': uses [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Judgment_Bolt Judgment Bolt]. The three floating platforms are electrified and their arrangement changes to another random one. The three platforms then, one by one, randomly glow and get electrified again. After all three have undergone this process they return to their original position. Landing on an electrified platform [[paralyze]]s fighters and deals continuous damage (up to 21%) before launching them; simply passing through them deals damage but will not paralyze. The summoner is immune. | |||

[[File:Odin Midgar split.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The stage split in half by Odin's attack.]] | |||
===Odin=== | ===Odin=== | ||
'''[[Odin]]''': uses [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Zantetsuken_(ability) Zantetsuken]. Odin slices through the stage with his sword, splitting the main platform and the top floating platform in half. Characters hit by this attack, except the summoner, receive 100% (or rarely 200% damage), and in most cases are [[OHKO]]'d. In ''Ultimate'', this attack triggers a [[Special Zoom]]. While the stage is split, its inner ledges can be grabbed. The stage pulls itself back together after a while, [[crush]]ing any character, summoner included, caught between the two halves or hanging from the inner ledges. | |||

===Leviathan=== | ===Leviathan=== | ||
'''[[Leviathan]]''': uses [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Tsunami Tsunami]. The entire arena is flooded, making the main platform surf across a huge body of water. A strong current pushes swimming characters to the left; getting slammed into the right side of the stage deals 9% damage or, if the character has 100% or more damage, an [[instant KO]]. The summoner is susceptible to the current and the slam damage, but not to the instant KO. If a player happens to have [[invincibility]] and enters the water on the right side of the stage, the player may be carried away by the current when it subsides or pushed under the stage to the left side due to not slamming into it. [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vKU_BIO86Vk&safe=active] Fighters who enter the water under the effects of the [[Super Mushroom]] are trapped in the water (if on the right side) due to the low knockback and potentially KOed. This feature is not present in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', due to the removal of swimming in said game. | |||

'''[[Bahamut ZERO]]''': Attacks with a devastating [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Teraflare Teraflare], which destroys the city in the background and creates a damaging pillar of light covering about 1/3 of the stage. Getting caught in the beam deals continuous damage, up to 39%. The summoner is immune. | |||

A prominent dungeon within the game, it is the headquarters for the Shinra company which plays a central role in ''Final Fantasy VII'''s storyline. The building is where Cloud meets Red XIII, a sentient animal from Cosmo Canyon, and later discovers that his nemesis Sephiroth is still alive, and has killed Shinra's president. After Sephiroth summons Meteor, a cannon known as the Sister Ray is attached to the building and is powered by the six remaining Mako Reactors. Cloud's party returns to Midgar at this time to stop Shinra once and for all. | ||
Midgar is also seen in other media in the ''Compilation of Final Fantasy VII''. In the film ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'', Midgar is mostly left in ruins as a result of Meteor's effects. In its stead, a city called Edge is built, where most of the movie's events take place, such as the outburst of the disease known as Geostigma. Cloud later fights Kadaj, and later Sephiroth, in the ruins of the Shinra Building. The ruins of Midgar are visited again in ''Dirge of Cerberus'', where Vincent Valentine fights off the organization known as Deepground and the Omega Weapon, with a climatic confrontation against Weiss, the leader of Deepground, in the former President's Office. | Midgar is also seen in other media in the ''Compilation of Final Fantasy VII''.

[[ | *Midgar appears as a stage in the 2015 ''[[wikipedia:Dissidia Final Fantasy (2015 video game)|Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'', making it one of six stages in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to be featured as a stage in other fighting games, with the others being the [[Pyrosphere]], [[Green Hill Zone]], [[Fountain of Dreams]], [[Suzaku Castle]], and [[Dracula's Castle]]. | ||
* | *Midgar's two music tracks are both taken directly from ''Final Fantasy VII'', making Midgar both the stage with the fewest amount of music tracks in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' and the only one lacking any ''Smash''-exclusive arrangements in its lineup. This is also the case in ''Ultimate'', though it is tied with [[Flat Zone X]] for the least amount of tracks. | ||
*Interestingly, in the ''3DS'' version, whenever a match starts or resets in [[Training Mode]], the characters on the floating platforms will always perform their landing animation, as if they start in midair.<!--Does this not happen in Wii U?--> | |||

*Midgar is the only stage in ''SSB4'' that can [[crush]]. | *Midgar is the only stage in ''SSB4'' that can [[crush]]. | ||
*In [[Training Mode]], if the game is paused while a summon is in effect, it will continue its effect indefinitely, continuing to affect other fighters (excluding Odin; instead, if paused upon slashing, the game stays slowed down until unpaused or the camera briefly zooms in on the fighter that he strikes (which doesn't happen if multiple fighters are hit) after they're KOed). Summons such as Ifrit and Bahamut ZERO allow for combos of up to 999 to be registered by the game. A similar exploit can be done on stages like [[Mario Circuit (SSB4)|Mario Circuit]]. | |||
*If {{SSB4|Sonic}} is fighting on Midgar in the ''Wii U'' version, a graphical glitch will occur wherein his eyes appear to reflect the texture of the stage, turning them gray in color. This occurs even on the [[Ω form]] of the stage. | |||
