Rainbow Cruise: they banned it here in the Netherlands so I don't really use it much. But when I do play it I feel that if it would be a legal counterpick it would be a great one for Wario. But you guys should know more about that.

Bwah , I don't really get why they banned RC and Norfair and kept Frigate Orpheon in. At least Norfair doesn't totally disable some recoveries at times (tether).Rainbow Cruise is an awesome CP stage, I have not lost on it in a tournament setting yet.
Wario does great on Rainbow Cruise, use it to definitely counterpick against characters with a poor vertical recovery or a terrible air game. It's great.

Tell that to the Dutch guy with the red name. It's not a noob tourney at all, the dutch scene is just really conservative. Always has been, to my regret.That counter pick list is too short, you show them the SBR list and make them add more stages. RC is almost always allowed as Counter pick, they shouldn't ban it just cause they don't like the stage or cause they aren't used to how it moves. You need a real reason to ban a stage, like how 75m or Big Blue or something like that is banned.
I really doubt it, part of the reason is that most characters can double jump and airdodge before you can grab again. Maybe against Dedede, don't know. Interesting idea though.One thing I'm wondering: does Wario get an infinite when he uses down throw in the pit? Should keep them in place nicely.
When I tried doing it on Wolf a while ago (not in the pit) he got screwed every time he tried to jump/roll/spotdodge (don't remember if he was smart enough to try the shine) but suprisingly enough I was unable to regrab him only when he simply blocked. His hurtbox shifts a litlle in his blocking pose and just got him out of reach of my regrab. But I would figure the pit should stop him from sliding too far.I really doubt it, part of the reason is that most characters can double jump and airdodge before you can grab again. Maybe against Dedede, don't know. Interesting idea though.
Looking at the list of legal stages at the upcoming tourney, this plus Frigate Orpheon seem like two of my best counterpicks.To counter Snake and a couple of other characters(like Falco) Brinstar all the way guys. The sides and ceiling are very close for early kills, you can't get spiked, you could gimp snake through the middle of the field. And if the person your against has a bad recovery you could make the middle ledgeless part open up to give them a hard time.
Annnnd its cramped. When the lava gets too high and your forced to the top platform with your enemy, its practically screaming free half waft or Uair kill.
I'm in love.
Snake and range characters I pick Brinstar against.
Nah I don't mind stage hazards with Wario, he works around them like they arn't even there. And the catapult doesn't kill you with good DI, only the bombs are dangerous.I once won an online tourney against a really good Olimar because the catapult killed him at 0%. Despite this, I think this stage is OK but not that great against campers and it has stage hazards, so, bad stage unless you are goofing off.
This is true, but with Wario's recovery you really shouldn't land in the water if there is any danger in it. If the opponent falls in the water (which is very possible if you edgehog them on the left side) a Nair into the boat spike can sometimes work, or a waft too kill them on the left side.Taking Wario out of the picture, consider that every character who can spike has that advantage on Wario here...
Precisely, the cannonballs are dangerous but not so much for Wario.Actually though, Wario's mobility helps him control the fight around ground zero as a cannonball is fired. He can bob back and forth, always able to retreat quickly. Helps him 'heard' the opponent into the blast range.
Yeah this stage has mostly already been discussed in the past. No go against Falco but good Wario stage. But just for formality I asked.It's an alright Wario stage, has some pluses and some minuses (the biggest being clap is no longer a reliable killer). Just don't vs any Falcos here :\
You got it.Oh, You should do Halberd next, Thats my favorite stage... And oddly my best, never lose on that stage.
LOL...yeah I know I know .Psst, 3GOD, hit the "Y" or "X" buttons :X
