Brinstar: Difference between revisions

This stage used to be a counterpick stage because many did not see the acid as a major problem, and instead focused on its strange, but relatively non-obtrusive stage design. However, it was later banned in ''Melee'' and deemed more of a banned stage than a counterpick stage in ''Brawl'', not making the stage list in major tournaments such as [[Apex 2012]] despite the Unity Ruleset proclaiming it as a counterpick. This stage is still banned because many players agree that it gives monopolizing advantages to certain groups of characters. The acid reduces the stage to a very small size, forcing characters to stay in the air and giving unfair advantages to characters with good aerial games. Characters with good [[meteor smash]]es or [[spike]]s such as {{SSBM|Falco}} and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} also dominate as they can repeatedly rack up damage by thrusting unfortunate opponents into the acid, which knocks them back up to repeat the process whilst {{SSBM|Peach}}'s [[float]] allows her to completely nullify the threat of being burned by the acid.
