Stage Transitioning

[KnIf0r^TITAN]

i can do super attack finishers and smash attack finnishers but i have no idea how to do stage transition finishers...... anyone got any advice?

When you say finisher you mean for the last enemy? I don't think it would change if it's the last character. It would just be destructive finish.

It's in the tutorial : if the stage has a transition just finish him with a strong attack (B on a xbox gamepad)

Some stages don't have transitions and it will only smash him into some scenery. Same super attacks also have the same properties and will send him flying. You just need to try and figure which ones (for instance : the Meteor attack from Black Goku)

Assuming he's not talking about the last character it's random, not guaranteed.

Why would he be talking about the last one? If you kill the last character the match is simply over...

And no it's not random, it happens every time if you do the right attack. Again, just do the tutorial, it's the last part.

Oh cool so it just happens on some stages... thanks people :)

Because "finish" only appears on-screen at one time, when you finish the final character: "destructive finisher".

And yes it is random. Go end with B on either City stage and see if it transitions. It doesn't always, sometimes the enemy just hits a building. In the exact same way as a super finisher is sometimes seen from space, sometimes from the ground.

Yep I just tried it 30times on West City and it never does a stage transition. To my knowledge, West City does not have a stage transition at all : it changes only if you destroy it with a super.

Okay so if you're right certain stages have a guaranteed transition and certain do not. If I'm right it randomly triggers (i.e. a front smash may or may not transition from city to mountains)

Which stages then trigger 100% of the time upon a knockback?

I just saw a video of a stage transition from destroyed city, but hitting with a strong attack does not trigger it. I admit there's a possibility it could be random... but then it's awfully low cause I just tried to do it a hundred times now in practice with no success.

So it can be random or it has a specific trigger which is not hitting with strong. I don't know anymore ^^'

I think you're right though, maybe some are guaranteed. On the mountain level (rocky something) the knockback brings you to wasteland (5/5 attempts). In some levels, doing a super sometimes triggers a scene from space, sometimes from far afield. The cave level ALWAYS triggers from space, and then transitions to wasteland. So maybe some stages have random transitions and some don't.

[lukaself]

Turns out we were both right it seems. Best outcome in my book.

I really need to figure the trigger for destroyed city though cause I can't do it at all.

[lukaself]

AH-HA! found it. It only does the stage transition on destroyed city if it is the stage you selected directly but not if you destroyed the stage yourself.

Mystery solved, cheers !

Here, This is what you are looking for:

1) There is Stage Transitions and Stage Destructions. Transitions change the location upon the death of a character with particular knockback (arial) attacks. Destruction change the location to the destroyed version upon character death with only some Level 3 finishers.

***Note: Double arrows [<->] mean you can transition repeatedly back and forth between the 2 stages as long as characters are around to keep dying for the transitions but there's no limit otherwise.

All transitions/destruction chains are below:

Space - (No Transition)
Land of Kais - (No Transition)

Namek -> Namek (destroyed)

Rocky (evening) <-> West City (destroyed) ***Repeatable back & forth endlessly and is the final end in the chain for many below:

Caverns/Cell Games -> Wasteland -> West City (destroyed) <-> Rocky (evening) ***Note Final 2 repeat endlessly

Tournament -> Beach -> Rocky (noon) -> Wasteland -> West City (destroyed) <-> Rocky (evening) ***Note Final 2 repeat endlessly

West City -> West City (destroyed) <-> Rocky (evening) ***Note Final 2 repeat endlessly


Keep in mind transitions are performed differently than destructions. Destructions requiring only some chacraters's Lev 3 Ultimates); and stage transitions are usually done with arial knockback finishers including air vanishes. And both of those are different from stage finishers where u are just knocked back into some building or slab done with ground knockback attacks. Some Stages like Space have 4 different angles for stage finishers even though there's no transitions or destructions....

Hope that helps...
