Players enter and exit the alternate world of Purgatorio throughout the match, which is indicated by a specific sound and a very large rising purple portal that represents Umbra Witch magic. The angels [http://bayonetta.wikia.com/wiki/Affinity Affinity] and [http://bayonetta.wikia.com/wiki/Inspired Inspired] only appear and fly around in the background of Purgatorio, and occasionally the enormous [http://bayonetta.wikia.com/wiki/Fortitudo Fortitudo] comes close to the playing field and lets out a powerful roar, shaking the screen. However, none of them have an actual effect on the battle and mostly act as extravagant aesthetics. | Players enter and exit the alternate world of Purgatorio throughout the match, which is indicated by a specific sound and a very large rising purple portal that represents Umbra Witch magic.

The Umbra Clock Tower is a reference to the opening of ''{{s|wikipedia|Bayonetta}}'', where [[Bayonetta]] and [http://bayonetta.wikia.com/wiki/Jeanne Jeanne] fight angels on top of a falling clock tower face during the Witch Hunts. The stage also appears in ''{{s|wikipedia|Bayonetta 2}}'' when Bayonetta is sent back in time. Forced to re-experience the Witch Hunts all over again, while fighting by the side of her mother [http://bayonetta.wikia.com/wiki/Rosa Rosa], Bayonetta and Rosa witness the clock tower's destruction first-hand, due to two giant fireball attacks by the angel [http://bayonetta.wikia.com/wiki/Fortitudo Fortitudo]. The resulting explosion causes Bayonetta and Rosa to fall off a cliff together—a different side to the one Bayonetta's past self and Jeanne fell off. | The Umbra Clock Tower is a reference to the opening of ''{{s|wikipedia|Bayonetta}}'', where [[Bayonetta]] and [http://bayonetta.wikia.com/wiki/Jeanne Jeanne] fight angels on top of a falling clock tower face during the Witch Hunts.

Umbra Clock Tower is currently listed as a Counterpick/Banned stage in competitive play, but this ruling has been heavily disputed in the community. Arguments to ban the stage include the appearance of temporary walk-offs (even though many of the walk-offs can be escaped from below) and that the platform that briefly appears below the stage creates a temporary cave of life, and any fighter on that platform when it leaves can be easily edgeguarded. It was also suggested that the Purgatorio background can be distracting to some players with attention problems, like the backgrounds of {{SSB4|Final Destination}} and [[Lylat Cruise]]. Tournaments that have larger stage lists that encompass stages such as [[Delfino Plaza]] and [[Castle Siege]] have been more likely to allow the stage as a counterpick, but so far it has not been used in any major tournaments because these larger events have more restrictive rulesets. The stage is also said to cause motion sickness for some players due to the constantly moving background. | Umbra Clock Tower is currently listed as a Counterpick/Banned stage in competitive play, but this ruling has been heavily disputed in the community.

However, some smashers argue that the stage was banned without proper testing, saying that the stage as a whole is less intrusive than the likes of [[Pokémon Stadium]] (which has always been legal in ''[[Melee]]'') and that its inclusion would give a new option with big [[Blast line|blast zones]] to the stage list, which currently has several stages heavily benefiting characters that K.O at the top. Despite this, the stage has remained banned in most major rulesets and has only been legal at smaller tournaments. | However, some smashers argue that the stage was banned without proper testing, saying that the stage as a whole is less intrusive than the likes of [[Pokémon Stadium]] (which has always been legal in ''[[Melee]]'') and that its inclusion would give a new option with big [[Blast line|blast zones]] to the stage list, which currently has several stages heavily benefiting characters that K.O at the top.

With hazards off, Umbra Clock Tower is nearly identical to [[Final Destination]] while also retaining its visually busy background and is thus usually banned to reduce redundancy. | |||
