Hardest level in SSE

[BSP]

Just wondering, which level did you think was the hardest in the SSE? Also, which level did you think was the hardest to go through a second time without completely dying?

IMO, Entrance to Subspace was the hardest on the first time through, or at least on intense. For a re-run, I'd say the subspace bomb factory(DK, Diddy, C. Falcon, and Olimar's version) is nearly impossible to go through without completely dying. You pretty much go through the level without ever being refreshed.

 

[AranOcean]

Either The Great Maze or Swamp (because of Giant Diddy)

 

[Cook Kirby]

The Subspace Bomb Factory on intense. It is quite difficult to get out without any character losses.

 

[Sgt. Baker]

I didn't find the maze that hard just really annoying

 

[spartandrew21]

I would say the great maze or entrance to subspace.

 

[A~Kid/ToonethLinkage]

Entrance To Subspace, I forgot the name, but also the one where you fight Meta Ridley. F*cking annoying.

 

[Crazy_mofo213]

Subspace Bomb Factory =/

 

[Bnzaaa]

Swamp was hard to redo a second time.

I had the most trouble with the part where you have Lucas and Pokemon Trainer; at the end you have to fight Charizard.

Entrant to Subspace was probably the hardest one overall though.

Bomb Factory on Intense was very frustrating on Intense.

 

[Zeruel21]

The Entrance to Subspace for the first runthrough, Subspace Bomb Factory for redo. I still dread the massive fight before the escape...

Subspace Bomb Factory, Entrance to Subspace,

 

[Jimnymebob]

The level where Marth, Ike and MK are introduced was a pain on intense.
It was a long level to begin with, the end section had a gust of wind knocking you backwards all the time, and it took me around half an hour to complete it.

 

[SmashBrosForce]

I had Huge problems in Entrance To Subspace, cause is so Annoying this Level.

The Forest was a little bit Hard for me.

 

[pacmansays]

The one with Samus and Pikachu collecting keys from separate rooms really caused me some trouble...

 

[HizoSturm]

the part were you face giant dark diddy kong. he just down smashed and i died

 

[Melfice z]

Entrance to subspace is easily up there. Giant dark diddy kong deserves a mention too.

 

[SpongeBathBill]

Subspace Bomb Factory, and uh...Ruins actually. At least, until I stopped being stupid around fire and things that pulverize me.

 

[TheDarion]

Yeah, I found ruins the hardest, as well. Then again, I n00bed my way through it first run, so that may be it.

 

[Collective of Bears]

Great Maze easily.

Really? Giant Diddy was cake for me. I laser-locked him to death with Falco XD

 

[Fire!]

Yea, Great Maze, but anything with that moving platform that forced you to fight opponents was freaking annoying...

 

[kingcobra9]

well the great maze was impossible until i figured out that pause gave me a map i could refresh characters and generally what i was supposed to be doing...after that the entire thing was extremely simple

 

[SmashChu]

No one is mentioning the Battlefield Fortress. Jezz, that level is almost impossible the first time though. (Talking about Intense here).

I hear you man.
I was ready to throw my controller out the window because that stage was so frustrating on Intense.

As of now, (I'm playing Brawl for first time and am about to enter the Ruins), I'd say The Cave is the hardest stage in SSE so far. This is my first time in the SSE, and I'm running through it on Hard Mode. Sheesh...I didn't think The Cave would have that many traps, including all the darn rocks! But I narrowly escaped with Pit (using my last stock) who had somewhat-high damage.

But almost failing The Cave was partially my fault, I guess. I'm trying to get most of the Orange and Blue Boxes in one run-through. I think Link either got KO'd from high damage or was smushed. At one point, I sent Mario to get an Orange Box while a Stone Slab was descending, but he got smushed by the moving stone block after retrieving the box.
I switched to Yoshi and continued, but at one point I accidentally did side-B and Egg Rolled off the stage miserably. The Yoshi incident made me so mad!
And I only picked Yoshi because I was neglecting him at first, and wanted him to actually do something in the SSE. The only thing he's done is helped me get through a small part of The Cave; I doubt that I'll pick him again if he's just gonna Egg Roll like that...

2nd-hardest so far has been Research Facility 1. Those ROB Launchers are so annoying! I barely escaped with Pikachu on my last stock, and going through so many doors got disorienting and tiring quickly.

At least Pit and Pikachu have been useful so far in saving me, or else I would've lost a lot of Trophies and Stickers! I'm heading into the Ruins tonight, so I'll repost if I find any future stages more difficult than The Cave or Research Facility 1...
*gulps*

 

[UberMario]

The stage before the rayquaza battle on Intense.

 

[Titanium Dragon]

I have to agree with the chorus of "Subspace Bomb Factory on Intense, once you've beaten it once." That stage is a major pain in the rear, and Meta Ridley being at the end of it ensures that you get to do it on intense again and again and again to get his trophy...

Hint: When he goes off the top of the screen to slam down on the Falcon Flyer, throw your trophy stand upwards from the center. 99% chance of trophyfication if Meta has low health, AND it lands on the stage.

 

[Lustar]

I would say The Subspace Bomb Factory. It was such a long level.

 

[POKE40]

The Subspace Bomb Factory.
Wario's bike looks more sexy in this level.

 

[†Slader7†]

I agree on the Subspace bomb factory.

 

[NessBrawler]

well the only level I had trouble with on intense is the first stage with marth. Diddys not hard it you have a fan. Being preparedreally comes in handy. (it's cheap but so is a giant diddy kong)

 

[Omnicron's Baklava Enterprises]

I'm disappointed in myself for not being able to do much on Intense, I still need to learn.

But for me the Battlefield Fortress on Hard/Very Hard was extremely annoying for me, cannot imagine what it would be like on Intense *shudders*.
Entrance to Subspace was rather difficult as well.

 

[Aus0115]

I dont like the level's where i have to be diddy,fox,and falco i sucked at those

 

[Katapultar]

On intense, definitely The Battlefield Fortress. The Autolances are so EVIL. Especially with Meta Knight and Marth. No range attacks and almost no items spawn.

 

[Master Knight DH]

On Intense? Battlefield Fortress. Oh GOD Battlefield Fortress.

On the first run, you have to deal with Marth and Meta Knight being melee fighters. I certainly do. Worse yet, since they're new, you can't give them any stickers. And Meta Knight is freaking situational unless you're absurdly adept because the enemies resist even being stunned at all. WHY CAN'T THE REGULAR CHARACTERS EVER DO THAT?!?!? THAT WOULD HELP FIX A FEW METAGAME ISSUES, BUT NO, THAT WOULD MAKE TOO MUCH SENSE!!!! *sigh* The 4th screen is misery because of how many obstacles you have to slog your way through. Do NOT have Marth as your second character, no matter how much trouble that will add to the third screen. You will need his Counter to destroy those fish pests, and you will need a stock in spare to get through that part.

I don't even want to imagine this if I do this on a second run. At least I have practice on Subspace Bomb Factory thanks to Meta Ridley having been a pain about his trophy.


Addendum (11:25 PM): I think SSE in general is bothersome, but here are a few spots of difficulty stupidity:
*Metal Primid group - what's that? Your current character is Pikachu instead of ZSS? -1 Stock for you. What? You're using ZSS? You win. Alternatively: what? You have no ranged-grab people? You lose. Game Over. Good day sir. Now go away. "You're an inhumane monste-" I SAID GOOD DAY!
*Giant Diddy Kong - dear lord, at least Kracko in Kirby's Dream Land 1 has an excuse. And his fight--*laughs hard*--wasn't so stupid--*still laughing, now banging on the floor like Lanky Kong in his death animation in DK64*--that it made no sense. *keeps laughing and banging on the floor in the same manner, as the letters "MKDH" iris out on him fairly quickly*
*The Can('t)yon - lose all 4 of your lives and restart the level. Of course, you have to contend with Giant Primids that are supporting a Roturret at the end. Might as well cheap that part out with Kirby's Final Spam Cutter and the terrain.
*Entrance to Subspace - again with the one screen level with the Giant Primids supported by giant enemies. Unfortunately, you can't even cheap the Giant Primid groups out this time. Tough beans, people.

 

[Ninja Kirby Nick!]

I dont like the level's where i have to be diddy,fox,and falco i sucked at those

You were jumping on Goombas and Koopas O.o...That's basically what you had to do .

Then again, Mega Giant Shadow Diddy is a beast on intense. His attacks like, bring you up to 60-80% alone .

If I jumped on the Goombas and Koopas, the game typically punished me somehow. I don't get why jumping vulnerability hitboxes aren't bigger in the first place anyway.

And Giant Diddy is full of nonsensical fake difficulty. Just watch my video about it (that I added to my last post with a few others).

 

[Shock0055]

i had ALOT of hard/annoying times. but i think the great maze is the hardest, took me nearly 5 hours to figure out what i was supposed to do

 

[The Brigand]

On any difficulty other than Intense? Battlefield Fortress. It's just so god**** boring that I let my guard down way too often.

Intense? Entrance to Subspace. No question about it, that stage is ridiculous.

 

[Synthe]

My first time goin against Tabuu...i got smacked by that 1HKO move

 

[★Malik★™]

the great maze on intense.
