==Tournament legality==
Small Battlefield has been warmly received by the competitive community, which had lamented the lack of small stages appropriate for competitive play, and the consequent slant in stage lists towards large and/or open stages. However, its layout has been deemed fairly similar to [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], albeit with several notable differences such as their size, sparking some debate on which of the two stages should be considered neutral instead of a counterpick, or kept on the stage list altogether. Because of its recent release and the ongoing [[COVID-19]] pandemic causing a stark drop in offline tournaments, prospects on the future adoption of Small Battlefield as a legal stage are still unclear.
Small Battlefield has been warmly received by the competitive community, which had lamented the lack of small stages appropriate for competitive play, and the consequent slant in stage lists towards large and/or open stages. However, its layout has been deemed fairly similar to [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], albeit with several notable differences such as their size; as a result, the stages do not usually appear together as starter picks, with one or the other often being available as a counterpick instead. Nevertheless, Small Battlefield has become one of the most popular stage choices in competitive play.

*According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], the stage is designed for one-on-one battles.
