[[Pokémon Stadium 2]] in ''Brawl'', for instance, was generally banned in the [[Tristate Area]], while tournaments in [[Texas]] usually allowed the stage to be a legal counterpick choice. | ||
The commonality of characters can also play a role in what stages are legal or banned. Again in ''Brawl'', the rising prominence of {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} in the [[metagame]] led to stage lists in most regions becoming more restrictive. In the Tristate region, Meta Knight was not banned from tournaments, and as a result, the Tristate tournament scene banned or otherwise restricted stages such as [[Delfino Plaza]], [[Halberd]], and [[Rainbow Cruise]] due to Meta Knight's overwhelming power on such stages. In some regions, however, Meta Knight was not as widely used as the Tristate Area; as such, some of the aforementioned stages have differing legalities, with Halberd sometimes being a starter stage and [[Frigate Orpheon]] going from a banned stage to a counterpick. [[WHOBO 4]], the first American MK-banned major, featured an expansive stagelist that included Delfino Plaza, Halberd, Rainbow Cruise, and Brinstar as counterpicks, even though most of these stages were banned in MK-legal tournaments at the time. | The commonality of characters can also play a role in what stages are legal or banned.
