It's banned due to it's size, the walk off edges that allow Falco and DDD to take stocks with a well placed chain grab, and also because of the bomb that gets dropped there, although that aspect is less important than the first two.

The same reason that Distant Planet is banned. Dedede or Falco can **** you off the sides with CG.

Distant Planet, Bridge of Eldin, Shadow Moses, Mario Bros, etc.
walk off is chain grab bait.

Distant Planet isn't bad with chaingrabs at all since it has one walk-off that is periodically interrupted and assaultable realistically with a bunch of platforms (including a very big one) that aren't connected to any walk-offs. The Bridge of Eldin has two walk-offs with no platforms so every piece of land in the entire stage is connected to a walk-off in both directions. The Bridge of Eldin is also a very big stage that is very spam friendly; it basically exaggerates all of the flaws Final Destination has. The way it periodically divides doesn't really help the walk-off situation since that division is all about camping (it's really not practical to use the division to make safe approaches on someone like King Dedede), but it does make certain characters even more powerful as spammers.

The hazard is not really a factor at all in why this stage needs to go. To be blunt, you basically have to either totally suck at this game or be extremely outplayed to be hit by that hazard. Stage rules should in no way reward people for totally sucking or being extremely outplayed.

All in all though, it is true that the Bridge of Eldin is a fairly non-offensive banned stage. Quite a few matchups on it are extremely dumb and probably too unfair to allow, but there are a lot of fair matchups on the stage too. If you happen to really like this stage, playing it in friendlies will probably still be useful practice so don't worry about that (it also has awesome music). In tournaments, you can find the "components" of what define this stage in other stages. The hugeness is mirrored in Jungle Japes, the flatness in Final Destination, and the walk-off shenanigans are pretty similar in Mario Circuit (though more fair because the stage is smaller, has more interruptive hazards, and most importantly has platforms). Actually not many tournaments have Mario Circuit either, but it's at least sometimes allowed!

The second section on Caslte Siege is a real blast for D3 and Falcos ^^

Distant Planet isn't banned.

Elden is banned because

1. Dedede and Falco have a very powerful advantage
2. Matches last way to long and most of the time reach the max time limit

Falco does awesome on BoE. Lazer spam, chaingrab and a whole bunch of other stuff make him amazing on this stage.

confirmed. Sending Supplies.
^ I'm a Zelda fan!

Because the big guy riding on his f*cked up horse kills you and drops bombs on you. And infinite CGs off the stage.

Btw, there are NO INFINTE CHAIN GRABS in my fangame, Super Smash Bros Crusade. Just thought I'd point that out. It's not like I'm PROMOTING THE GAME or anything.

Then ****ing dodge it.

I agree I hate when I get chaingrab to my death. Gets annoying.
and if someone can't dodge a HUGE FAT GUY on a giant boar who not only comes from the opposite side of where u usually are but who is so slow that a blind person could see where he is then u are retarted. and besides why is this about a banned stage anyway?

It's not that simple. It's like the one part of Halberd, but much more common. It's simply too dangerous and large to have a fair fight there.

AGH, you're stalking me Lawz! Don't make me lazer you!

I also imagine Falco can go laser-happy the entire match.
