There is a different list of phases depending on which part of the game you are in. There are starting levels that can be selected before the start of the game: the term Legal Stage can also be used to describe any neutral or counterpick phase or equivalent to any non-prohibited phase. There are a few potential levels that could be added by other tournament organizers (Skyloft and Delfino Plaza come to mind), but these 11 will likely form the heart of the competitive game. In addition, we will probably see a few characters that will be locked over time. After the first battle, the losing player can now choose a Counterpick level. These are stages that cannot be starting levels, but in most tournaments, in addition to the starting levels mentioned above, they can be selected as counter-peaks, which can also be used as counter-peaks: in addition, the community in general has never considered the sample levels in the Stage Builder as official stages, and therefore, they are all considered prohibited. Nevertheless, none of the three levels would be theoretically legal in a set of rules: Hole has no tangible rock outcrops from the outside and contains powerful camping in the lower left points; Bath often does not have the lower beamline and has walls that block horizontal beamlines and allow for infinities; and Maze`s irregular design encourages camping, circle camping and stalling, and the architecture of the scene creates caves of life. A large number of configurations often lack levels, as they interfere with loading mods via the Smash Stack. Brawl had a very fragmented and argumentative community when it came to which phases should be legal. As a result, the legality list of levels is significantly more chaotic than the previous two games, with most levels being controversial in one way or another.

In addition, the legal status of a level has been greatly influenced by the legality of Meta Knight, as it tends to receive even more drastic benefits at many marginal levels. Thus, tournaments that have banned Meta Knight tend to allow more levels than tournaments that have kept it legal. In the current rulebook of Smash Back Room, all levels are definitely listed as start, counter-peak or group level, as follows: For counter-peaks, the winner of the previous game beats 2 legal levels after character selection and the loser chooses one of the others. Neutral levels can be chosen in any game in a set, including the first game. These are also known as starting stages (not to be confused with the term for levels that don`t need to be unlocked to be used in the game). Smash Ultimate`s competitive scene competes with itself when it comes to deciding which levels are legal for competitive play. Every tournament organizer will have their own idea of which steps are legal and which are not, but these are usually the main steps you should see at events. The following is smash 64`s blacklist for stages in tournaments. Until mid-2015, four phases – Dream Land, Hyrule Castle, Congo Jungle and Peach`s Castle – were legal.

Currently, Dream Land is the only stage that can be used in tournaments. However, as tournaments move from the vanilla version of the game to the 19XX mod, in some tournaments such as GENESIS 5 or GENESIS 6, the Duel Zone and Final Destination levels, which were not available without hacking, saw some duplicate tournament presence, although this is usually rare. Some tournaments prohibit certain phases that are allowed in others. Most tournament organizers agree that stages that change in the middle of the fight should be banned. A floating platform is usually allowed and is often seen on popular competition stages such as Smashville. Prohibited levels cannot be selected at all. Levels can be blocked for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to: The following levels have never been legal in the history of competitive hand-to-hand combat: you can also see other levels used in some tournaments, including Fountain of Dreams and Dream Land. Some tournaments even allow Minecraft World. Every tournament, whether it`s a local or major tournament, has its own list of legal steps, so always check it in advance. In general, due to the wide variety between stages and scene types, and the fact that the series as a whole was not necessarily designed for serious competitive play, very few steps are balanced enough to be legal for professional competitive play, which is why the majority of stages are prohibited in all games. “Legal Phases” refers to the levels and arenas of the Game that are considered playable in professional competitive Smash Bros.

games. As with Brawl, there is no uniform scene list for Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U, with some differences and disagreements on scene categories between zones. The following table generally uses the most commonly accepted legality for each step. If you want to transform yourself into the next competitive Super Smash Bros. Ultimate player, you need to learn more about the different legal steps of the game. The following levels are legal in the pmbr 2018 Full Recommended Ruleset [1] In general, all levels fall into one of three categories: In most cases, each tournament organizer or Smash community can have their own idea of which ones are achievable, and most will likely use different levels depending on where you`re going. Therefore, we recommend that you ask your local competitor community what their legal steps are before attempting to enter a contest. I kind of wonder what people generally think are the legal stages of the tournament, or the stages that are systematically used in competition. Can someone please give me their list? Thanks to the start, the levels are selected in game 1 of a set.

A randomly selected player will reach the first starting level, then the other player will reach two starting levels and finally the first player will reach the last starting level. A total of 11 levels were considered achievable by Genesis for players. Players can choose the five starting levels on the battlefield, the final destination, Lylat Cruise, Pokémon Stadium 2 and Smashville. Counter-choices for the scene selection include Castle Siege, Kalos Pokemon League, Town & City, Unova Pokemon League, Yoshi`s Story and Yoshi`s Island (Brawl). Legal levels can be divided into three categories: a neutral/starter phase, which is always played in the first game, a counter-selection phase chosen after the first game of a set that gives some characters slight advantages, and forbidden levels that cannot be selected at all for various reasons. Counterpick levels are only available in game 2 and from a single set. The winner of the previous game will lock 1-2 levels – as much as requested. And then the loser of the previous game chooses from the remaining available levels. You can select two levels for a match from the Scene Selection menu by enabling the Scene Morphs option in the ruler settings.

There are many community preferences in terms of stage selection, with no agreed standard in all regions on what exactly constitutes a “legal phase”, so the legality of a stage may depend on the region where the tournament is located. This is especially true for Brawl and Smash 4, as there is no officially standardized list of levels. Pokémon Stadium 2 in Brawl, for example, was generally banned in the Tristate area, while tournaments in Texas generally allowed the scene to be a legal counter-election. Despite the list of prohibited levels, most tournaments offer a variant of the “gentleman`s rule,” a rule that allows players to choose any level they want, including prohibited levels if all players in the game agree. This is usually the only way for suspended stages to watch serious tournament matches. But even when this rule is in force, it is rarely useful to play on locked scenes outside of a much more qualified player that allows an opposing player, rather random or very young to choose the level he wants, since most competitive players never voluntarily want to play the forbidden levels, for the same reasons, whose rules blocked them. Even if the rule is in effect, TOs can still prohibit certain levels from being played via the gentleman rule if the scene tends to delay the tournament by causing much longer games (such as Temple, New Pork City, and The Great Cave Offensive). Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with the largest number of levels in the series and the ability to eliminate scene hazards, has potentially the most legal levels of a Smash game. Since the release of the level list and the hazard selector, players and OTs have debated the list of levels for the game and have not yet found a final answer. The major tournaments have largely been wrong on the side of the lists of relatively large levels (eight to ten), but some regional tournaments have already been reduced to four to six legal levels.

Perhaps the most discussed rules in Ultimate Competitive are the lack of items and the specific levels to play on. There are over 100 stages in Ultimate, but not all of them are legal in tournaments, although there is no generally accepted list of levels at the moment.
