There's a modeled background environment far below and around, so you wouldn't be able to get the camera to clip through that without hacks. Bonus fact, *every board* on the floor and the dharma wheel is fully modeled instead of being a normal map like any sane stage (nearly 45k tris in floor/model.numdlb))

Mishima Dojo (三島道場, Mishima Dojo) is a downloadable stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, based on the location of the same name from the Tekken series. It is the home stage of Kazuya, and is bundled with him as part of Challenger Pack 10.

Stage overview

 
Mishima Dojo with its walls and ceiling broken.

The stage's layout is primarily flat, with walls and ceiling sections blocking the left, right and upper blast zones. These can be broken by being attacked or if a fighter is launched into them, with a Special Zoom usually occurring in the latter event. After being broken, they will repair themselves after a certain amount of time has passed. Heihachi Mishima can be seen in front of the large Fudō Myōō statue in the center of the stage, sitting faced away from the action with his arms crossed. When the fighters hit the walls and ceiling, he'll react to it by looking left and right, depending on which walls and ceilings fighters hit. He'll get up, cross up his arms and react to KOs once parts of the walls and ceilings are broken. He does not appear in the background in 8-player battles.

There is a small inscription on the floor that roughly translates to "Kazumi and Heihachi." This is a reference to Tekken lore, where both carved their names into the floor as a symbol of their love.

Ω form and Battlefield form

For the Ω form and Battlefield form, the walls and ceiling are permanently broken and the stage now floats far above the surface, and thus the stage's ledge walls do not extend below the blast line. The stage is also resized and reshaped to match Final Destination and Battlefield, respectively. The three soft platforms of the Battlefield form are wooden and resemble the wood flooring of the main platform.

Hazards off

The stage remains unchanged with hazards turned off.

Origin

 
Mishima Dojo as it appears in Tekken 7.

The stage is designed around the Mishima Dojo as it appears in Tekken 7, compared to its damaged version in the console port, Tekken 7: Fated Retribution. While the walls and ceiling can not break in Mishima Dojo, they are able to in other Tekken stages; as a gameplay element introduced in Tekken 6 called Wall Break. On the floor of the stage, it is possible to see the names of Heihachi and his deceased wife Kazumi Hachijo in an aiaigasa, which were engraved by them when they first fell in love. This detail is present in the original appearance of Mishima Dojo in Tekken 7, and originates from another similar stage in Tekken 2, Pagoda Temple.

Tournament Legality

Mishima Dojo is widely banned in tournaments due to the the stage being enclosed by two walls and a celing at the start of every match. This can allow for infinites under specific circumstances. While the walls and ceiling are destructible to mitigate this issue, the blast zones are close to the stage, heavily favoring characters with high base knockback once the walls are broken.
