Stage Types

Every Versus stage in Smash 6 has the following Stage Types:

  • Normal Form, with Hazards On
  • Normal Form, with Hazards Off
  • Omega Form
  • Omega Form, with Battlefield Platform Layout (Battlefield Form)
  • Omega Form, with Small Battlefield Platform Layout (Small Battlefield Form)
  • Big Omega Form
  • Big Omega Form, with Big Battlefield Platform Layout
  • Big Omega Form, with Pyrosphere Platform Layout
  • Barrier Form
  • Barrier Form, with Battlefield Platform Layout
  • Barrier Form, with Small Battlefield Platform Layout

Barrier Forms are like King of Fighters Stadium, where the stage has blast zone walls on the sides and no bottom blast zone.

Notes​

The Small Battlefield Form is very popular so each stage having the form greatly increases aesthetic variety.

Barrier Form is essential for helping less experienced players have fun with the game, because a big challenge for new Smash players is recovering to the stage. It's near-impossible to self-destruct on a Barrier Form stage, so any player can play on this stage type and have fun. This was a tremendous bonus that King of Fighters Stadium gave to Ultimate when it was added. Barrier Form stages also have a unique balancing aspect to them since recovery is not needed, making them interesting beyond just casual play.

Big Battlefield Form and Pyrosphere Form are great choices for 5+ player matches.

The main work here is the Barrier Forms since those are brand new. The other Stage Types can be created by adding or removing platforms from already existing stage layouts.
