While the long stage size, platform placement of the main stage, and low ceiling can also benefit characters with good [[dash dance]]s such as {{SSBM|Marth}} and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}, the advantages that these characters gain pale in comparison to the aforementioned advantages realized by Fox and Falco. As such, it has been deemed a counterpick stage in more recent rulesets, with some ''Melee'' players arguing that it should even be banned because the advantages given to those two characters are too overwhelming for the majority of the cast. Many players will choose to "wait out" the Fire and Rock transformations by moving to the opposite side of the stage as their opponent, without approaching or attacking them, until the transformation returns to neutral. As a result, many players complain that the transformations result in several minutes of wasted time during a set. | While the long stage size, platform placement of the main stage, and low ceiling can also benefit characters with good [[dash dance]]s such as {{SSBM|Marth}} and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}, the advantages that these characters gain pale in comparison to the aforementioned advantages realized by Fox and Falco.

"Frozen Stadium", a modded version of Pokémon Stadium which disables the stage transformations, has become increasingly popular in competitive play. It was first used sporadically in regional scenes, such as at {{Trn|Battle of BC 3}}, and became more widespread following the dominance of online play in 2020, as the [[Project Slippi]] netplay system uses Frozen Stadium as a default stage in unranked play. | "Frozen Stadium", a modded version of Pokémon Stadium which disables the stage transformations, has become increasingly popular in competitive play. It was first used sporadically in regional scenes, such as at {{Trn|Battle of BC 3}}, and became more widespread following the dominance of online play in 2020, as the [[Project Slippi]] netplay system uses Frozen Stadium as a default stage in unranked play. It has yet to become standard in offline tournament play, however. Supporters of Frozen Stadium argue that the removal of transformations makes the stage less randomized, more balanced, and removes the time wasting components often seen during the Fire and Rock stages. Opponents of Frozen Stadium argue that this would open up a path towards increased levels of modding and possibly the introduction of new player-built stages, making it more difficult to run in tournaments and possibly leading to legal issues with [[Nintendo]]. They also argue that stalling during the transformations should be seen as a viable counterpicking strategy, and that Frozen Stadium's layout is too similar to that of {{SSBM|Final Destination}}, further hurting characters who have a perceived disadvantage on both stages. | ||
