Stage Creator--Limited?

[FyreeTSG]

Has anyone created stages in Wii U SMASH BROS' Stage Creator??

Do you like the use of the Gamepad? The options for different ground types, backgrounds and additions?

OR do you think it's too basic and limited?


I like it, but they took so much out of it compared to the SSBB version--especially the choice of additions like hazards and some of the other cool platforms in Brawl's creator.

I hope they can do an update when the Mewtwo DLC comes out soon.

I haven't used the stage builder, but you say they took stuff out of it?!? That sounds crazy considering Brawl didn't have huge amounts of things to use. I was really hoping they had added a lot of stuff to make the stage builder better for this game.

i'm about to tear Stage Builder a new one...
Controls: Why Gamepad only? If my freaking Gamepad is dead, I should be able to make a stage with a controller. Plus for some people Analog control is more preferred than Stylus. Me personally can make straighter lines with a Analog stick than I can with a Stylus.

Weight Meter and Additional Items : "So, I just get done drawing this nice stage , time to add in some additional stu...What? I'm out of space?" - Me almost everytime I make a stage. Seriously though, that weight meter needs to be buffed up and even when you can add additional items, all you can pick is Cannons, Lava, and a rotating platform... yay. What happened to Ice, Falling Blocks, Spikes, ladders, and that Platform wheel thingy? DLC and a buff on that meter is highly needed for stage builder.

Overall: I think Brawl's kills SSB4's stage builder if you are one of those who wants to make a fun, creative stage to be remembered. But if you are just trying to make Art that you can play on, but will probably be extremely boring.. SSB4's stage builder is perfect for that.

exactly DarkIce...

I did like Brawl's options--but I still yearned for some classic Nintendo features/hazards you could throw in a custom built stage--the Fire Bar from SMB, etc...but I think we're getting this DUMBED-DOWN Stage Builder cause we'll be getting "MARIO MAKER" in a few months, and then people can just get all their creative juices out THAT way.

BUT even then, Smash Bros Wii U needs some DLC--even if we have to pay an extra buck or 2, or something. Even Brawl's had things you'd unlock after you hit a certain number of custom made stages.
