Description and Strategies:
Smashville is a very simple Animal Crossing themed stage. It's very
simple, as it's almost exactly like Final Destination aside from one
platform that moves horizontally above you.
Actually, for this stage, you can just look at my strategy for Final
Destination. Just remember to take that one platform into account.
Most often it will only be used for evasive maneuvers, but as it is so
low to the ground any character can reach it quickly and easily. Also
a balloon may occasionally float overhead, usually carrying some
food. A simple tap will break the balloon and let you take the item.
Of course, balloons will not appear if food is shut off in the Item
Switch.
Also on Friday nights after 8PM (based on your Wiis internal clock),
K.K. Slider will appear and only K.K. Music will play on the stage.
Also, in case you care, the clock attached to the Smashville Town Hall
will show the actual time (based on your Wii's internal clock).

Bridge of Eldin

________________________________
Description and Strategies:
The Bridge of Eldin was taken from from the Legend of Zelda: Twilight
Princess. It's usually a pretty straight forward stage. It's like Final
Destination, except you can't fall off the stage (in the traditional manner, at least).
However, part way through the match you will hear a warning trumpet
and a moblin riding a boar will stampede across the map. The moblin
can come from left or right, and will drop a bomb, which will break
off the middle of the bridge. And after about a minute or so, a
Twilight Portal will appear, restoring the bridge.
Here it is best to use characters who can jump high or fly. Reason
being is, you will need to be able to jump over the moblins, and the
gap in the bridge. So, characters like Ike will be a bit impaired
here, as he cannot jump the gap in the stage.
But aside from that, it is a very straight forward stage, and you
should pick whoever you are best at using. Just make sure who you pick
has a good balance of jumping and power. Sideways smashes are most
effective here, as the stage is relatively low.
My personal choice for this stage would be either Ness or the Pokèmon
Trainer.

Description and Strategies:
Battlefield is the 2nd most basic stage in Brawl, next to Final
Destination, of course. It consists of 4 platforms.
The main stage itself is just a little bit tighter than Final
Destination, but the 3 floating platforms do add some strategy to the
game. And like Final Destination, Battlefield has been around in every
one the Smash games, unless you count the massive facelift it got
between Smash 64 and Melee.
Anyway, the stage's very basic design prevents any one particular
character from having an advantage, but fighting styles will require
some sort of strategy to win here. The floating platforms are good for
avoiding enemies with range attacks, and a number of different final
smashes that would be hard to dodge in Final Destination (like Mario
and Zelda's).
Aside from that, fighting is basic. The idea is simple: Weaken your
enemies in the middle of the stage and smash them off the sides. Or
you could also choose to smash them upward from the top platform, for
characters with good recoveries, like Pit.

Description and Strategies:
Final Destination always has been identified as one of the most
simplest stages in the Smash Bros. series. It has been in every Smash
game so far, and in each game its design remains exactly the same.
Final Destination gets its name, as it is the last stage you will see
while going through Classic Mode. It's simply a flat plain, so the
whole stage is open for anything! The stage symbolizes that you are at
the end of your journey and that you can't rely on gimmicks to help
you. The only way to win is by pure skill.
As it's such a simple stage, there really isn't much additional
strategy I can give you other than basic combat tips.
Just remember to stay in tight, through off your opponent by
shielding, rolling, and countering attacks. Just be sure to stay on
your toes at all times.
Items can still play a factor here. It is the only thing holding a
match back from being a battle of pure skill.
Remember to use items to your advantage. One of the changes in Brawl
is that you can now grab items while your running, in midair, and
while on the ground. So you'll have to be quick in order to get to the
item first.

________________________________
Description and Strategies:
This stage is a near perfect recreation of the classic Pong board,
from the timeless classic game: Pong. But not only does the stage look
great, it actually is a perfectly balanced fighting arena in Brawl!
You will begin above the stage where the same strategies as Final
Destination apply. Except one detail: You are so high up right from
the start, that it doesn't take much to smash someone of the stage
right from the start of the match. You should especially watch out for
Lucas and Squirtle in this area, though they are much more harmless in
the other areas of the stage.
A bit further down the score of the Pong match reading "5-3" of the
Pong match, these are made out ice and are in very tight quarters, so
this area is the best place to weaken your opponent, as long as you
are cautious and take ice into consideration. It takes a good deal of
skill to effectively weaken your opponent here. One little slip and
you'll fall to the bottom portion of the stage.
In the bottom portion of the stage, you will be on flat terrain, and
as its the easiest to brawl on, is where most of the fighting will
usually be taking place. However, to add further strategy to what
seems to be straight foward, the Pong paddles are on the left and
right sides of the stage. The right paddle is very low and will
usually deflect most rightward smashes. So, you're best bet usually is
smashing foes to the left, though very little luck comes into play as
the enemies could also be deflected by the left paddle, but this is
rare, given its height from the ground. Otherwise, basic brawling
strategies apply.
Also, as far as choosing characters go, you should go with whoever
you're most comfortable with using here. However, keep in mind the
surroundings before choosing. For example, Olimar's final smash will
always hit off the top of the stage, where fighting is rarely ever
done, so though all enemies will have taken a significant amount of
damage, the final attack of the ship will almost always miss. Ike, on
the other hand, has the best suited final smash for this stage, as it
is almost a guaranteed KO everytime! This is because Ike significantly
weakens opponents then smashes them upward from the uppermost
platform, where they will very quickly die. However, you will end up
right where they respawn, where it will be easy for them to kill you
after the technique is over. So, after finishing the final smash, make
a run for the bottom of the stage before they come back!

Quick Announcements!
I have good news and bad news.
Bad News:
I am very sorry to announce this, but it is becoming very hard to to write strategies for every single stage here. So, from now on I will only be making strategies for stages that are scored at a 4 or 5 out of 5. I am very sorry to do this, but it needs to be done in order to move things along.
Good News:
However, once I am done with all the 4s and 5s I work on the 3 out of 5 stages in my spare time.
Also, featured and static stages will have strategies made as always.
Also, Zach Joyner, otherwise known as Spades (the one who has been remaking the featured stages here), will also be joining the team soon so that stages will be able to be posted even faster!

________________________________
Description and Strategies:
The stage has a pretty straight foward design, that is very similar to
some other stages that we have seen before. It consists of one
straight line of falling blocks, with only two stationary blocks (one
on each end) for a break.
Now, since one block is hardly enough room to face off with your
opponent, you will be forced to do most of your fighting with blocks
falling all around you. So, your best character choices would be the
quick and flying characters with the exception of Charizard and
Jigglypuff.
Using JigglyPuff in this stage is completely reckless! Why? Well,
almost all of Jigglypuff's special techniques can result in his death!
The rollout would either have you fly off a ledge or the gaps in the
course, caused by the falling blocks. Sing wouldn't work as enemies
don't have enough damage to stay asleep long, and by the time you
finish singing the block you are on would have fell off the stage.
Rest wouldn't work, as everyone is moving around so much it is even
harder to hit with here. And even if you do hit someone with Rest,
they won't have enough damage on them to be KO'd, as you have just put
yourself to sleep the block you were on just fell off the stage. And
even Pound has a recoil long enough to put you in jeopardy of falling.
And Charizard is so heavy that when he does fly, he goes a very short
distance at such a slow rate, it make it increasingly difficult to
avoid falling and trying to fight at the same time.
The positive side to this is once Charizard either gets KO'd or SD's,
Squirtle will appear! Squirtle is very light and quick and can easily
manuever through the stage and fight at the same time, as if it were
nothing at all! And unlike Jigglypuff's rollout, Squirtle's Withdraw
can be stopped quickly enough to avoid death and get back into the
fray, though this does require some skill at controlling Squirtle's
Withdraw. And with enemies constantly falling, it's the ideal place to
use Squirtle's Water Gun, to give opponents that extra push off the
stage. Squirtle is quick enough that he should be able to get to the
blocks pushed off to the side and charge his Water Gun, before leaving
himself open to being attacked.
The only down side to Squirtle is that he will eventually get tired,
so once this happens switch out to Ivysaur for a couple minutes and
quickly switch back to Squirtle while on the stationary blocks.
Ivysaur is as decent and average as most characters are on this stage,
so you should be able to hold your ground long enough with him to give
Squirtle the time he needs to rest.
Also keep in mind that ledge grabbing cannot be achieved on falling
blocks, so be sure to pick a character with a good recovery, making
the Star Fox characters less than ideal (as you can clearly see in the
gameplay video. XD).
Also good to use here is Toon Link, as he is pretty strong and fast,
and is pretty deadly when used properly. The only caution you may need
to take with him is that the platform underneath you doesn't fall
while performing his final smash. If it does, you will hover during
the technique, but you will fall afterwards, and the game won't let
you use your B-Up move to recover. And like I said before, you cannot
ledge grab the falling platforms.
Now, the last exception to the quick and flying characters is Sonic.
Why not Sonic? I mean, he is the fastest character in the game.
However, it takes an incredible amount of skill to control Sonic here.
He moves so fast that he may be difficult to stop before falling off a
ledge. Also his homing attack, may betray you by causing you to chase
your enemy off the stage. And his final smash, being as difficult to
control as it is may leave you in a tight spot once it wears off.
Think about it. Super Sonic will be charging into opponents, and most
characters will be in a constant struggle to stay afloat here. That
means, you may need to go under the falling blocks to get your kill.
But when Super Sonic attacks, it sends them upwards, so you may have
actually just saved your enemy! And then, what happens if your final
smash wears off while you were under the falling blocks going after
the other players? You die, and it'll go down as a SD. So, you may end
up saving your opponents and killing yourself! Kinda defeats the
purpose of Super Sonic, doesn't it?
But let's say Sonic is your absolute best character than you may be
able to pull it off using him. But remember all the dangers I just
mentioned about using Sonic. It takes a player with extreme skill and
control to use Sonic effectively in this course. So, while it isn't
impossible, I would not recommend using Sonic in this course.
Who would I use?
I'm keep this one short and sweet because there ain't much else to say
about this one.
I myself would use Toon Link, for his unique combination of strength
and agility. Just be sure to watch out for the aftershock of his final
smash.

Design Tip: Using Inclines
One of the most under estimated and under utilized tools in the Brawl
Stage Builder are inclines.
Inclines can radically change the outcome of almost any match. How?
Here's a simple example: On Final Destination, (a perfectly flat stage
with no gimmicks) Pit could shoot an arrow clear across the stage
without being interupted. But if there was a slight incline in the
center of Final Destination, the arrow would hit the incline instead
of your opponent. This one slight incline has made using all range
attacks, on the shorter side of the incline, completely useless.
But inclines do much more than that. Here's another example. Two
players are an equal distance apart on Final Destination, both are in
pursuit of the Dragoon part in the center between them and (assuming
they both run at the same speed) they would reach the Dragoon at the
same time. However, if there was a slight incline between them, the
player who has to climb up the incline would take longer to reach the
Dragoon.
And this is just one slight incline we're talking about. Imagine how
much damage a few more of them could do! Inclines force players to add
additional strategy towards the way they play the game.
Now you will notice the one incline you are able to use is at a steep
45 degree angle. But what if you don't want your incline to be at that
sharp of an angle? Well, adjusting the size of an incline doesn't just
make it bigger, it changes the slope too!
As with most other parts there are 3 sizes to choose from: small,
medium, and large.
Small inclines have the steepest angles at 45 degrees with a slope of 1.
Medium inclines aren't as steep with a slope of 1/2.
And large has the smallest angle with a slope of 1/3, even though it
occupies the most room on your map.
Sorry, if that got a bit too technical or confusing for some of you.
But inclines, even though they seem as if they are relatively simple
parts, can actually get quite advanced and deadly when used and placed
properly. I would recommend playing around with inclines until you get
the hang of using them effectively.

Design Tip: Saving Free Space
Most of you might keep pushing the Consecutive button straight across
the bottom of the stage to make a floor, but wonder why you ran out of
space by the time you're close to finishing your stage.
I too found myself in this predicament when making the DK 100M Stage.
So, what can you do? Well, adjusting the size of your building pieces
actually saves space, whether you believe it or not. In fact, after
removing and resizing the floors in my 100M stage, I found that not
only did I have enough space to finish making the stage, but I also
had loads of room to spare!
But of course, like I said in my other post, just because you have
room to spare, it doesn't mean you need to use it all. Just make what
you intended to make, and end it!
Of course, this resizing tip works with more than just floors, it also
saves space with almost every other part you have available to you.
However, also take note that changing the sizes of parts may not have
the same effect on some parts as it does others, like ladders and
inclines.

Design Tip: Keep it Simple
The Brawl Stage Builder has loads of content you can add to your
stage, but just because you have all these tools available, that
doesn't mean you have to use them all!
Most often, stages with gimmicks won't have as much appeal as simple
arrangements of basic floors and panels. Yeah, the gimmicks are fun
for a while, but they won't last very long.
From looking at all the stages I have seen come through here, I've
found that a simple inclined floor can massively change the outcome of
an entire match. Actually, inclines can effect matches so much, that I
made an entire post about them!
Also, on the note of keeping it simple, don't just fill up a stage
with crap, just because you can. Courses filled entirely with
structures can become annoying, as it will become increasingly harder
to die, to the point that almost all strategy is taken out of the
game, and the outcone of the match is entirely in the hands of luck.
So when making your stage, leave openings, so that players will have
to use strategy to get the KO. Sure, go ahead and block off the sides.
This will cause players to have to adjust their strategy so that they
will have to use either an upward smash or meteor smash to KO their
opponent.
Just make sure that there is always some kind of opening, or some way
that opponents can die.

Design Tip: Tweak your Friend's Stage
You ever notice how your friend might sometimes send you a really
awesome stage, but there's that one annoying thing about it? Well, now
there is a way to edit your friend's stage!
Usually, you can't edit stages your friends send, but there's a really
easy way to remove the edit lock from the stage. All you need to do is
copy the stage from your Wii to your SD card. Now just edit the stage
from the SD card and you will find that the lock on the stage is now
gone.
So, go ahead, tweak the stages and send them in! Just be sure to give
your friend credit for the stage too!
All the stages downloadable here also have the lock removed as well,
so you can even tweak the stages you download here and send them in
again. Think of it like an open source program that anyone can
contribute to!
