Forum:Banned Stages in Smash 3DS

Forums: Index → Smash 4 Talk → Banned Stages in Smash 3DS

Does the competitve community already have a list of banned stages?

• Stages I know will be banned because they're walf-offs or moving are:
  • 3D Land
  • Mushroomy Kingdom
  • Golden Plains
  • Gerudo Valley
  • Dream Land
  • Unova Pokémon League
  • Flat Zone 2
  • Warioware, Inc. (during minigames)
  • Distant Planet
  • Boxing Ring
  • Gaur Plain
  • Balloon Fight
  • Living Room
  • Green Hill Zone

I know Magicant and Wily's Castle will be banned for random elements and unfair advantage. Anything else?

You forgot Jungle Japes. God, how I hate that it is so easy to get KO'd with that water.:P Dots (talk) The Portal 14:33, 22 October 2014 (EDT)

IIRC, my list of expected banned stages is everything except Battlefield, Final Destination, Arena Ferox, and Yoshi's Island (I took out the stages I expected to be banned out of the random select). PikaSamus (talk) 14:45, 22 October 2014 (EDT)

Lumiose City has walk-offs when on the ground phase, which is the last phase in the rotation. PikaSamus (talk) 14:46, 22 October 2014 (EDT)

Arena Ferox has cave of life potential in some of its transformations. Nothing more than a counterpick, IMO.

Depends on whatever scene you're referring to...different tournaments have had different rulesets, including what stages are legal. I believe the most common stagelist atm allows Battlefield, Final Destination, and Yoshi's Island as starters; omega forms can either be starters or counterpicks. Prism Tower is an occasional counterpick. I'm pretty sure that the most recent SSB 3DS nationals so far (all of which are Japanese tournaments) change this up though; I've mostly been seeing omega forms in those tournaments. It's probably too early to determine the most accurate stagelist; can we not wait until Apex 2015? Scr7(talk · contribs) 14:54, 22 October 2014 (EDT)

Just curious: Are custom movesets allowed in these tournaments? Not so much the defensive/offensive/speed guff, just alternate special moves.

Some regional tournaments in NJ/NY have allowed custom special moves; KTAR X did this and the upcoming KTAR XI will also do so. Don't think that any other tournaments so far have allowed custom special moves. Scr7(talk · contribs) 15:05, 22 October 2014 (EDT)

Yeah that's the thing. I think a lot of stage picks in tournaments are probably going to be 50% omega forms or something and the other 50% will be Battlefield, Final Destination and any other stage that doesn't disrupt smashers fighting or give characters advantages over others. It's too bad I haven't found that many stages that are probably going to be legal yet. Dots (talk) The Bullet 15:01, 22 October 2014 (EDT)

@Monsieur Crow: I forgot about caves of live. Thank you for reminding me. PikaSamus (talk) 15:06, 22 October 2014 (EDT)
