But anyways, the Omega form is hardly a different stage. It's the exact same stage without platforms. Don't get me wrong, they're a nice addition, but calling it a different stage is a cop-out.

I'm complaining because a demo is supposed to give you a good taste of what a game is like. This demo hardly gives you that. It gives you a teaser more than anything else - not enough to make a full impression of what owning the whole game is like. As an owner of all three previous Smash games, who was a serious gamer when the first came out so I've played every one to death, I feel like the demo is specifically aimed at people who have already played Smash - and that's the problem. A demo is supposed to entice new players into buying in. Old players, for the most part, are already planning on it. If it, perhaps, allowed unlocking of one more character and one more stage after a certain amount of gameplay, I'd have no complaints whatsoever!


We've already known about this fact for a while.  The reason it is there is because you actually don't get to choose your settings in the demo, and picking the Final Destination form of Battlefield also takes off items.  So, it is one stage, but two "modes" if you want to call it that.  Items or no Items.

And demos are rarely even close to the amount the full game gives you.  I think the amount they gave was fair, and does give you a good idea what the game is like.  The game isn't super complex, it doesn't require a whole lot more in order to understand at a basic level what it is and how it's like.  You claiming you've played the other games and played them a lot doesn't necessarily give you the "authority" (cannot find a better word here) to say how this would feel like to newcomers.   The way I see the demo is that, the way they handled the distribution of the early access one, a lot of new players can come in and play in a versus match with others (most likely newcomers will be the people who received a code from someone who had a platinum membership).  I feel like it's targeted towards both new and old players.  The old players are the ones that pull the new ones in, I think.
