| '''Frigate Orpheon''' ({{ja|フリゲートオルフェオン|Furigēto Orufeon}}, ''Frigate Orpheon'') is a [[Starter stage|starter]] [[stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is one of three stages that has its roots in the {{uv|Metroid}} universe in ''[[Brawl]]'', but the first based on a location in its ''[[Metroid Prime]]'' sub-series. In ''Ultimate'', {{SSBU|Dark Samus}} is fought here for her unlock battle.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Stage overview==
| | '''Frigate Orpheon''' is a stage from ''[[Metroid Prime]]''. The [[Parasite Queen]], the first boss in the game, is shown in the background. Like other Metroid stages, the Frigate Orpheon is home to a few stage hazards. The power will sometimes go out, knocking out the lights, making it more difficult to see the edges of the platforms. A warning siren will also occasionally sound--this signifies that the stage is about to flip 180 degrees, forcing fighters to leap into the air for safety while they wait for the platforms that were once above them to land below them. |
| The fight takes place inside the ''{{s|metroidwiki|Frigate Orpheon}}'' ship.
| |
| Frigate Orpheon's portrayal in ''Brawl'' borrows several aspects of the original locale and implements it into the stage. The general design is very reminiscent of the frigate as it appeared in ''Metroid Prime''. As well as that, it sometimes experiences power outages, knocking out the lights and therefore making it more difficult to see the position of the platforms. The [[Parasite Queen]] is featured inside the reactor core whilst utilizing the same rotating forcefield she used against Samus in the boss fight with her . However, the Queen is merely there for aesthetic reasons; she has no effect on the proceedings of the brawl.
| |
|
| |
|
| The main element that has been integrated into Frigate Orpheon is the 180 degree flip. The stage actually has two different arena layouts arranged in a vertical column opposite each other, but players are only fighting on one at a time. Every so often, a loud siren blares out and a bright yellow warning light flashes in the background. This indicates that the stage is about to turn upside down. When this happens, the camera quickly shifts around and the characters fall onto the other layout. The sudden movement can put people in difficult situations depending on their positioning when the flip took place. However, game director [[Masahiro Sakurai]] suggested on the {{SSBB|Smash Bros. DOJO!!}} that staying in the air when the alarm is going off will reduce the negative effect that the stage's flipping has on one's character.

|
| |
|
| The stage layouts are as follows:
| | {{SSBBStages}} |
| * The first layout is a basic {{SSBB|Final Destination}}-esque design: a large platform with a flat terrain type. The right third of the platform can be jumped up through, and rises and falls occasionally. There is also a drop-through platform on the left above the main platform. The layout has only one edge located on the left side.
| | {{Metroid Brawl}} |
| * The second layout is slightly bigger. The primary platform has straight edges and a diagonally slanted center that indents into the arena the downwards direction. A much smaller platform sits above this in the middle. Platforms on the left & right-hand sides alternately appear and disappear, making them useful for long distance [[recovery|recoveries]].
| |
| | |
| [[Star KO]]'s can not occur on this stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
| |
| | |
| ===Ω form and Battlefield form===
| |
| In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the main platform of the [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] is the main [[hard platform]] of the normal form resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three [[soft platform]]s of the Battlefield form resemble the one in the normal form. The stage also does not flip, and power outages do not occur.

| |
| | |
| ===Hazards Off===
| |
| With hazards off in ''Ultimate'', the stage stays in the first layout and never flips, the walk-off platforms are removed, and the power outages do not occur. The soft platform on the right still moves up and down in intervals.
| |
| | |
| ==Origin==
| |
| [[File:FrigateOrpheonMP.png|left|thumb|Samus confronting the remaining Parasite Queen in ''Metroid Prime''.]]
| |
| At the beginning of ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime}}'', [[Samus Aran]] received a distress signal from the nearby {{s|metroidwiki|Frigate Orpheon}} and soon discovered that the vessel had been utilized by {{s|metroidwiki|Space Pirate}}s to research the mutagenic substance known as {{s|metroidwiki|Phazon}}. While fighting her way through the facility, she also learned that two {{s|metroidwiki|Parasite Queen}}s escaped confinement, which forced an emergency evacuation six hours prior to landing. She discovered that one was successfully killed and eventually found the reactor core and battled the remaining Parasite Queen. This stage is based off the room in which the two fought.
| |
| | |
| In ''Metroid Prime'', Samus would have to try to aim and shoot the Parasite Queen while blue energy shields spun around her. Those blue energy shields can be seen in this stage. After defeating the creature, the reactor reached critical meltdown status, and Samus was given just seven minutes to flee the vessel. She managed to escape to her ship and, shortly afterwards, Frigate Orpheon crashed into the planet {{s|metroidwiki|Tallon IV}}. The blackout that occurs in this stage is likely a reference to the meltdown that occurs upon the Parasite Queen's defeat.

| ==Tournament legality==
| |
| In ''Brawl'', this stage is usually a counterpick and is sometimes banned in tournaments. This is largely due to the flipping of the stage, which can cause unintentional self-destructs. The stage's main difference from other starter stages is that the right ledge is ungrabbable at certain times. This creates a large disadvantage for characters that rely on [[tether recoveries]], such as {{SSBB|Olimar}} and {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}, as well as other characters who rely on the ledge to recover, such as {{SSBB|Falco}} or {{SSBB|Link}}. Frigate's moving platforms can also help characters recover should they be lucky enough to land on it, similar to the Support Ghost on {{SSBB|Yoshi's Island}}.
| |
|
| |
|
| In ''Ultimate'', the stage remains a counterpick in some tournaments, but is often banned. Though turning stage hazards off removes the flipping effect, the platform that moves up and down remains on the stage, and can give advantages to certain characters.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *When the {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}} is selected, Frigate Orpheon constructs a new platform for him to stand on in the background, to the right of the Parasite Queen. When the stage flips 180 degrees, Pokémon Trainer appears on the new platform by teleporting in a yellow flash, similar to [[Space Jump|his movement]] in the [[Subspace Emissary]].
| |
| *The Parasite Queen, unlike everything else on the stage, is very slow to turn over when the 180 degree flip occurs. For a few seconds following the flip, the half of the reactor core in the background is empty.
| |
| **In ''Brawl'', the Queen then somersaults and drops down into view.
| |
| **In ''Ultimate'', the Parasite Queen never flips and instead descends upside-down whenever the second layout is present. The Queen later descends right-side up when the first layout returns.
| |
| *This is the only ''Metroid'' stage in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series thus far that doesn't involve a hazardous liquid (like acid or lava).
| |
| **It is also one of two ''Metroid'' stages not to take place on Zebes, along with [[Pyrosphere]].
| |
| *It is possible to be KO'd by the stage while it's rotating; a way to avoid this is to be in the air near the side [[blast line]]s when it flips, but sometimes even this doesn't help.
| |
| *In ''Ultimate'':
| |
| **The second layout of the stage is always present and hidden offscreen; this can be seen by using [[End of Day]] to move the camera upwards.
| |
| **The following [[Assist Trophies]] cannot appear on this stage: the [[Moon]], [[Andross]], and [[Nikki]] (due to the dark background obscuring her drawings). Additionally, [[Lugia]] cannot be summoned on this stage.
| |
| **The following Assist Trophies can only appear on this stage's Battlefield and Ω forms: [[Color TV-Game 15]], [[Dr. Kawashima]], [[Yuri Kozukata]], and the [[Ghosts]]. Additionally, [[Lunala]] can only be summoned on this stage's Battlefield and Ω forms.
