i really doubt that will happen though, the stages are being pumped up as one of the main parts of the game so a ban on them doesnt seem likely unless theres some really broken stuff for a certain stage

im dont have much know knowledge about the smash bros banning and such so cant really comment on it but my view on bans is, unless it is totally broken and breaks the game it shouldnt be banned

Don't forget Developer intent does not equal community desire (gems anyone?)

Hardcore players/tournament viability aren't where the money is; making an awesome spectacle so casual players will buy your game is.

Smash Bros Melee is super fun, and surprisingly deep, but it's basically a party game that Nintendo made that accidentally turned out to be a great competitive fighter. They seem to actively dislike the hardcore/competitive interpretation of their game, and tried to make it less viable with Brawl.

I seriously doubt Injustice would have stages with as significant an impact on gameplay as Smash Bros, but just to provide you with an example of why the bans are necessary:

(The only thing you really need to know about Smash Bros when looking at these levels is that you have lives (usually 3) and you lose a life every time you leave the screen)

Battlefield: Tournament Allowed



Final Destination: Tournament Allowed



Poké Floats: Banned



Icicle Mountain: Banned




Why some are okay and some are not should be fairly evident.

Soul Calibur's stages also benefit different characters more than others due to some having limited or no ring out options.

All they do is randomly select a stage to begin with and then the loser gets to pick the next stage.

Actually I believe tournament standard is that the loser can chose to randomly select the stage again or stick with the current one...

explains how meter, clashes , health bars, rounds, clash will work

Hit confirmable EXs is definitely an interesting thing.

they had this in mk vs dc aswell, it was pretty cool

like baraka would do his chop chop blades and be able to change the move at certain frames in the hit animation,i really liked it,
the sound effect it made when happened was cool too :pac:

edit,found a fix of it

SRK have a fairly in depth article about this up now.

It runs through their hands on time with it at E3 with a proper fighter's view on things.

A lot of good things being mentioned about this game but the MK style combos coupled with the extreme sounding cinematics and the volume of them are making it sound like this could be a very frustrating game to play.

Kudos to the devs for trying so much different stuff though, they could have easily sold bajillions by basically making this an MK skin.

there has been talk off some stages being made that do not have those cinematics from changing from one part of the stage to the other but still have the environmental hazards, if this happens or not is another thing

yea i see how the mk combo system could put some off, prob same reason why i wouldnt like if it had a SF style combo system, its just whatever were used to i guess,
i did find it so funny in the SRK review they said "there aren't hit confirms,so to speak" because of this,there are hit confirms in mk already LMFAO!!!

I actually just meant that combos in MK tend to last a lot longer than, say, SF4, and coupled with the super/transition/ trade cinematics its all adding up in my mind to just too much time not actually playing. I would have said the same thing if they'd said comboing feels like blazblue/ UMvC! I've already been put off many newer FGs because of this. The only one I can tolerate it in for some reason is KoF (perhaps because even though combos are long, they're fast and long, if you get me).

Of course, it could turn out no one ever uses some of them, or that they're banned or as you say there's some stages with none and it feels good.

ah right i get what your saying now, i can dig it.
yea supermans super that was shown was crazy long, grundys and harley werent so bad length wise...but also not as cool looking and that what counts lol

yea i still dont know what to make of that trade system thing, hopefully it will be designed so it doesnt be happen a few times a round and what not, the double health bar instead of having two rounds is a strange one aswell.

i think this game might be the marmite of FGs when it comes out, people are either going to love all this new stuff or hate it and make them not want to play it

reading in the SRK review i like that batman has a instant air projectile, im well more interested in playing him now than my original choice of harley (of the four shown so far)
