Not to have another opinion battle, but me and everyone in my club think Brawl is the best (though they seem to think it's still Melee because they keep picking Final Destination) and there's no way we could have done Smash 64, we don't even have a working N64 You can get Smash64 for Wii via Virtual Console Never understood why people always think FD is the most neutral stage in terms of actual gameplay. Smaller stages with platforms are generally better (Battlefield, Dream Land, Fountain of Dreams, Yoshi's Story etc). In fact, the one thing that's always bothered me is how with Melee and Brawl the stages are judged more by their design (are there hazards?/platforms? etc) whereas with Smash64 they've always been judged by more meaningful things ie. matchups. I remember a while back the Smash64 scene were wondering whether or not they should start allowing Final Destination, Battlefield and the Metal Mario stage as tourney legal for online play. The one thing the majority agreed with was that FD was NOT a neutral stage since its linear design skewed how well certain characters performed in general against the rest of the cast (generally Fox did better against the whole cast, Samus couldn't turtle as well as normal, Link couldn't keepaway as well as normal etc)

Yeah I'm not sure either. And one of the things about Tourney play is picking a stage to get an advantage/counter your opponent. And in Brawl, FD is such a terrible stage regardless (Sonic being able to stay under the stage, the ledge spiking anybody who tries to recover, etc.).

Depends how you mean, I've played games a lot sure but I never wanted to learn about 'matchups' and 'neutral stages' and crap.

There are probably some FPS equivalent terms you've learned
If not, man you're probably the most casual gamer here

Yup, last leg of the tourney today (finals and then last match)
My Sonic's kinda rusty but I think I'll make it, but if I don't that means I don't have to deal with the scary as hell marth I'll have to go up against
