Starting Positions and Armor Pieces

Nothing special, I just wanted to get a clean list of what starting positions on what stages affect Zamus's armor pieces. Note that starting position is random and this list only matters to Brawl singles - the third and forth starting positions have not been tested.

This list encompasses all the stages, even banned.

Brinstar
Right side causes two pieces to bounce off.

Distant Planet
Left side causes all pieces to slide off slope.

Corneria
Right side's pieces slide to center.
(One only halfway)

Green Hill Zone
Right side pieces slide to center.

Onett
Right side's pieces all slide to center,
two of the left side's slide to center.

Rainbow Cruise
Right side pieces all fall to lower level.
(Last one can be caught before falling)

Yoshi's Island (Melee)
Both side's pieces slide to center.

I tested Lylat Cruise too - the initial slopes are pretty balanced and don't cause any pieces to fall.

So, yea... *shrug*

Thanks, it's a good resource to have

Nice good work

IIRC the fourth player starting position on Rainbow Cruise causes two pieces to fall off the right side of the stage.

Do you guys have a list of advantageous set-ups to begin matches with?

Q&A thread is better suited for that. There's been various threads with posts about it.

I would try and provide links to posts, but they're so jumbled up amidst the rest of the threads that finding them is pretty hard.

So Meno. Is this why you asked about stages in the Q&A thread? Just curious.

Yep, I was kinda surprised you guys didn't have this information already.

I was hoping at least for one stage that guaranteed an armor piece loss. A 50% chance on Brinstar and Distant Planet isn't too amazing. :/
