    While I mostly get the reasons stages are the way they are in melee, ultimate's legal stage list kills me. The game has like 50+ stages and not even 10 of them are legal. They could just allow the battlefield and fd variations for the sake of different backgrounds, but some idiot will complain because you can wall-jump off the bottom end of certain ones, or the blastzones don't line up perfectly on each version.

    Fun fact: the “banzai bill” from the Mario movie was actually called a “boomer bill”
    Some people seem to think Boomer bill is a replacement for the Banzai bill and it’s actually the same enemy,… but it’s not. It’s a unique type of bill and the Banzai still exists. How do I know this? Because the Boomer bill is a reference to the Lego Mario sets. Lego Mario invented a new type of bill because Bullet bills were too small and Banzai bills were too big for the Lego set. So they made a middle ground enemy. And they put that in the movie for some reason

    the capcom jojo fighting game has different stages and which one you get is randomly picked depending on the characters, but the thing is differnet stages actually have different lengths corner to corner, so you’ll randomly have a stage that’s either two screens wide or eight. also one stage has a weird piece of decoration that’s in the foreground so you can hide behind it and it’s very funny

    The last part of this - big tournament, huge cash prizes all the way down, a ruleset no competitive player would willingly touch if not for the money? That's what I always hoped Nintendo would do. So you'd have the grassroots scene running its own thing for "competitive integrity", but then you have a Nintendo-run tournament series where people go to make money. And people would train for both. "Labbing items" would be a legitimate thing. Ideally the skill gap between a player that's been playing for 1-2 years and a player that's been playing for 5-10 would only be 60-40 in the veteran player's favor in the tournament with the RNG/hazards on - pros would win more often, but you'd never have a scenario where someone has 2+ years of experience, shows up to a tournament, and there's still no point in them plugging in the controller because one of the top 10 players of the game is just going to wipe them off the face of the earth and there's no chance for anything other than that to happen.

    Are walk offs really ONLY banned bc fox can wave shine? Well he can’t in ultimate.
    Are walls really ONLY banned bc shine infinites?? Again not in ultimate.
    So either there’s other reasons the guy didn’t say, or ultimate stages are banned for tradition.

      Melee at least has some semblance of a reason to have only 6 legal stages in their competitive ruleset (though, frankly, it doesn't even begin to excuse freezing PS1).
      Considering Ultimate has hazards toggle, that game has absolutely zero excuse. The community is actively taking away from the magic of watching tournaments by having so few stage options, and the problem gets worse when you consider the sheer amount of sets where the players decide to use the gentlemen rule to play on just one of them (PS2) for at least 50% of matches.
