Super Smash Bros. Universe: Stage Discussion

Overview

For my third post, I decided to talk about the stages. There are more stages than characters in this game. The stage roster is pretty large too, as some stages have representation in some universe as some characters do not. Most stages here, originate from Smash 64, Melee, Brawl, Smash 4 3DS, and Smash 4 Wii U. There are also many new stages in the game. Most people consider stages to be fun to play, with the many layouts and stage hazards to begin with. We call this term, "For Fun." However, most players prefer the flat, non-hazard stage, the skill of players, without items whatsoever. We call this term, "For Glory." What do you prefer? For Fun, or For Glory? Let me know in the comments section.

Stage Roster

There are over 150 stages in Super Smash Bros. Universe. As stated before, there are many from the actual Smash series. There are many stages not available of the start of the game, they must be unlocked by completing specific challenges. (Which will be in a later post.) The image below shows all the stages. Five of them aren't visible due to the images size. These stages are Battlefield, 25m (Donkey Kong), Mirror Chamber (Kirby and the Amazing Mirror), Find Mii, and Highway (Mega Man X). Which stage would you like to see in SSBUniverse?

Ω Stages

An Omega (Ω) Stage is a "For Glory" version of a regular stage. "For Glory" means flat with no hazards. These differ in appearance and aesthetics in this stage. The only thing that doesn't change is the music that plays on it. Here is an example of an Ω Stage:



Stage:Normal Form:Ω Form:
Mario Galaxy
The Normal Version has curved edges and a detailed background.
The Omega Version is flat, has no hazards, and doesn't have much of a background so people can concentrate.

My Music

My Music is a function that shows the soundtracks played on a certain stage. A stage can have a minimum of one song to a maximum of twenty. Songs are always chosen at random, but can be modified by using the code called "Music.cfg" in the folder to adjust what is played. Here is an example of a stage with many soundtracks played on it:

Castle Siege (Fire Emblem)
