Norfair: Difference between revisions

Currently, Norfair is considered nearly universally banned in tournament play. Proponents of banning the stage claim that the increased number of edges promotes stalling the game by constantly alternating between edges for invincibility, and that the magma plumes provide an unnecessary degree of unpredictability. Those who believe the stage should be a counterpick insist that ledge-stalling is not that effective, and that the uniqueness of the stage is not brought down by the hazards, which can be defended against fairly easily. Regardless, the stage can assist characters who are easily gimped, since they are given more opportunities to grab an edge (especially tethers). In later ''Brawl'' tournaments, the stage has been banned much more frequently. It is also jokingly referred to as '''No'''(r)'''fair''', regarding its legality.
