Tennis might not have stage advantage to utilize when "counterpicking" but they do alternate the serve (which is a major advantage). To win in tennis you must beat the opponent on their serve. In regards to stages tennis has more in common with multistage smash than a solo stage smash.

So, it's been a strange realization for me lately but, I no longer think super smash brothers is a competitively viable fighting game if played in it's truest form possible (assuming items, stocks, time, and other features that can be toggled within the game's internal options, are toggled...

I actually don't even remember why we started to go into such heavy detail with the example when we should be focusing on the actual discussion. Namely is Mushroomy kingdom one stage or two and how that influences full list striking. I will simply say I agree to do disagree on the character...

They are all single characters who posses the ability to alternate between different forms. You are being distracted by the physical differences and choosing to ignore that a character is only a large collection of tools needed to obtain victory. Zelda and sheik are one character in the same...

Think of it as the same thing as choosing to spawn as zero suit Samus or Samus, except both players are capable of inputting which version of Samus spawns. We leave it potentially* to chance because Mushroomy Kingdom's layout being determined by a random element is no different than pictochat...

I don't understand what you mean, could please clarify? Sorry for my lack of understand.

My entire point was that every stage is acceptable and to pick and choose which stages we want to influence the game's balance is not our place as players. You may not value the strategic value of circle camping but it is not your or my place as a player to systematically remove elements of play...

Stages have no level of fairness outside of match-ups much like how match-ups don't exist outside of stages. It applies to every match-up in which a character is better capable of circling than the opponent. Simply because an option should never be taken does not mean it should not exist or we...

They are one character who has the ability to switch between two different move sets/sprites. We create different match-ups since the different movesets play differently and many people choose to ignore the weaker set over the stronger.

They are also one character. We have removed the player's ability to alternate between the two at will during a match but they are still a single character. It is fair in the sense that by banning circle stages we are changing what the median of bias is. Lets say fox beats snake on 6...

If I were to say that projectiles should not exist because they under specific scenarios are no risk/any reward would that mean my opinion was an acceptable reason to prohibit the use of such moves? It is optional to play a bad match-up. Being aware of character weaknesses and knowing which...

Zelda and shiek are not seperate characters they are a single character in the same sense pokemon trainer is a single character. You may be able to select one form and ignore the others but it is still one larger collection of tools should you choose to use it or not. Mushroomy kingdom is the...

I have not tested it yet but I have a hunch that if players input conflicting inputs for the stage then it will be random. Or we can keep everything legal and take note of the fact that 1-1 and 1-2 are not separate stages. This, and circle camping does not even destroy competition when you...

I tended to do badly in bracket but well in money matches. I may be at apex but probably not. If someone in the DC area could provide me with a ride I might consider it but I work 40-50 hours a week and don't have money to spend for the most part.

They simply have to choose ban both since there is only one stage (it just happens to have a randomly generated layout)*. Its the same as how pictochat won't cycle through every transformation but you can't choose to ban pictochat + whale transformation, you simply choose to ban pictochat...
