Princess Peach's castle shouldn't be banned

[Virusbluemage]

Can someone please explain to me why Princess Peach's Castle is banned in official tournaments? I think it's one of the best stages in the game and some characters(particularly lower teir characters) are very effective on it. I think the original reasoning behind it was that the Bullet hill interferes with the game play of the stage, but that reasoning is ridiculous when you consider that stages like Planet Zebes(With the constant rising lava) and mute city(with the damaging cars) are allowed in tournaments. I really think tournaments should begin allowing Princes Peach's Castle as a legitimate Counter Pick in tournaments.

It's banned because it's too easy to camp on. Getting across the middle is incredibly disadvantageous for/against some characters.

What is the problem with walls? Corneria and Pokefloats also have walls and they are still allowed in tournaments.

Lol at this thread. I can practically smell ArcNatural coming.

Pokefloats walls aren't there for the whole match. Corneria is a counter pick and has one wall.
I don't want to see fox on that stage. it would go something like...
Laser camps on opposite side, runs away/grabs/uairs/upsmashes/aerial > shine > lolwall when approached.

I think fox can waveshine you from anywhere on the stage.

Fox is good enough already, don't give him an insta-win stage back please.

Stage is bad.

Any relationship to Silent Hill? Cause that's not a CP I want to have to play anywhere near
Incidentally, Pyramid Head for SSB4!

If you really think lower tiers do well on a stage where Fox can wallshine practically the whole cast (it's much harder on Corneria due to the slant). He can fulljump doublejump phantasm across and unless you intercept in the air there is no way you can punish it other wise.

And that's just Fox, matches with good players would take a long long time on this stage, simply because of the advantage of letting your opponent come to you. It's just great camping stage.

Bullet Bill really has nothing to do with why this stage was banned.
