Game Debate to the Death!
Best Super Smash Bros. Melee multiplayer level?

PS: Barack Obama won last week's bonus question by a landslide.

Obama: 39 votes
McCain: 4 votes
Clinton: 2 votes
Nader: 2 votes

As for this week's debate.... I'm not sure yet. I'll think about it and cast my vote later tonight. I'm leaning towards Majora's Mask Great Bay level for Young Link.

@ Dexter -- yah, as far as my least favorite level vote goes, there's a lot of Melee levels I dislike, but the Game and Watch level is by far the most hated. I can't stand that level at all.

Bonus Question: Game and Watch level.

Best:dreamland
Worst:F-zero Both

Hyrule Castle. Hands down.

As for worst, Jungle Japes was downright unplayable if your tv was too dark, and it was fucking impossible to play with Ganondorf or anything other character whose color palette wasn't obscenely bright.

Favorite: PokeStadium
Least Favorite: That ONE F-ZERO LEVEL WHERE U FIGHT ON THE CARS IT MAKES ME WANT TO SHOVE A YOUNG BEAR CUB INTO A DISINEGRATOR! sorry. ya.

Oh sorry Corneria is my favorite because although it's plain its just bumpy and curvy enough to make the fight varied while still getting the pure fight feel of a stage like Final Destination

Hyrule Temple definitely. So many epic matches have been fought there. It's also big enough that many "1-hit-KO" techniques don't actually 1-hit-KO, which makes matches last longer. =3

Pokemon Stadium

Corneria is by far the greatest level in Melee... the worst, Super Mario World... whatever it is called with the breakable blocks... hate it.

Best: Termina Bay
Worst: Ice Climbers/Poke Floats

My vote goes to Hyrule Temple. What's with all these people voting for Hyrule Castle? The one in melee has a different name than the 64 version.

Anyway, my reason is because it's such a large course.

Yeah Hyrule castle rocks, Icicle mountain sucks.

Best: Pokemon Stadium
Worst: Ice Climbers

I loves me the Pokemans.

MrHaVoC is the worst stage ever.

Hyrule is the best.

Loved Hyrule Castle.

Hated any of the Star Fox levels.

Final Destination, all other levels are for kids and begginaz.

Like: Great Fox (the side to side one, not the one where you fight on the wings)
Hate: Pokemon floats

I would say for Multiplayer it would have to be Fourside. It's the only level when I can have a balanced Bowser fight too.

For 1 on 1 I like Fountain of Dreams


Game and Watch's level has a special place in Hell. Termina Bay sucks too with the one throw kills.

Kirby's Fountain of Dreams was the best. Although I was partial to Final Destination.

Worst? Hyrule Temple. Hands down. I'd rather play the scrolling stages over that piece of crap. Easy way to make it better? Loose the underground area.

I may be one of the few, but: Corneria.

The layout just gave me as much freedom as I could want out of a a small stage. My friends and I must have played this more than anything else.

Best Stage: Final Destination and Hyrule Temple because of the black hole glitch!!

Worst: Ice Climbers

I love the Pokemon Stadium stage, and I am totally stoked that it is coming back for Brawl.

That said, the Ice Climbers stage needs to DIAF. It truly is the worst level ever. Random speeds? Really? No thank you.

Best stage: 64 Kirby Dreamland. It offered the perfect size for both solo and 4-player melee's. It's essentially the template for Brawl's Battlefield.

Worst: Flatzone. TOO SMALL!

Pokemon Stadium is definitely my favorite, it's got some drastic changes in terrain, making you constantly stay on your toes, while still being simple enough to not be distracting.

On the other hand, any level where you could set two controllers down, walk away, and wind up dead when you came back is an instant failure. This includes both Metroid levels, both F-Zero levels, the Yoshi story level where you start on the ship, pokefloats, and of course the GODDAMN KING KEMEHAMEHA OF ANNOYING LEVELS, Icicle Mountain.

Though other levels do have individual spots that you can get killed on if you stand still for too long (on the turtle in Termina Bay, clouds in Yoshi Island, in the road in Onett), I'm only going to include the levels where you have no other option.

What's with all the Hyrule lovin'? I always thought it was only good for the times when you want to be a coward and hide down in the pit toward the bottom so you can only die if you get hit at just the right angles. Other then that, it's a pretty meh-tastic level.
