Right , but my argument is that our alternatives aren ' t much better . In my opinion , Walk Offs should also be strictly illegal . Which would , technically , remove Delfino and Castle Siege into the mix as well along with Halberd as well . At which point , the top stage would either be the circle camping Kongo Jungle 64 , or the never legal Peach ' s Castle 64 . After Umbra , there ' s a clear division in the fact that none of those stages are as legal as the rest . So when you ' re picking from best of the worst , is Halberd ' s Laser that you can combo with worse than dying to an upair at 40 on Delfino ? I would say , no , it ' s not . Delfino ' s temporary shorter ceiling is just as much as a stage assist as Halberd ' s laser , it ' s just not as bright and flashy so people don ' t realize it which , in it of itself , is a point in Halberd ' s favor . People are more aware of the threat . Which is why I think HalberdDelfino . A bright , flashy laser that is easily avoidable and is SDI able that kills you at 70 , is much better than dying to an up smash at 40 because the stage temporarily said so . The only case I can see for one of these stages to be better than Halberd is Castle Siege . Even though it accomplishes nothing , and few characters benefit from going there in a specific MU , it ' s the least intrusive on the bunch .
