re: Official Super Smash Bros 4 (5?) Thread (Inkling confirmed; Possibly Wild Link)

Have to say I'm a bit disappointed in the stages as well. The Great Cave Offensive is a nightmare and can't see why anyone would play on it. Hyrule Temple is as big as a stage should be IMO (and every Smash game should have this as a playable stage).

But it's really the Metroid stages for the series as a whole. It's just nothing but dark and lava stages. Sure Metroid likes lava, but so does Mario, and you haven't seen then use that as a crutch. Just think that franchise has gotten the shaft with this series, in that either Ridley and/or Dark Samus should be playable (certainly over Dark Pit), and there's a plethora of stages to choose from: Zebes surface, Mother Brain's chamber, Phendrena Drifts, Phazon Mines, Sanctuary Fortress, Ing Hive, Skytown, Phaaze, etc. Using the room where you face the Parasite Queen as the only representative of the Prime series was pretty sad.
