Sky Pillar (空の柱) is an unlockable stage in Super Smash Flash 2 that hails from the Pokémon series. It was shown on the Day 1 stream at Super Smash Con 2019 along with Lucario, and is based off of the tower of the same name that originally appeared in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
Layout[]
Sky Pillar consists of a large, towering pillar with three elevations, include a large hard platform at the bottom and a large wall connecting the upper two elevations. The top contains a large platform which is soft where is not directly above the wall and hard otherwise, and the middle has platforms that are hard close to the wall and soft toward the edges.
With hazards turned on, Rayquaza periodically flies across the top or bottom of the stage from the left or right side, dealing 25% damage and strong knockback to players in its path. A strong gust of wind accompanies Rayquaza, pushing players in the direction it is flying. Rayquaza's impending appearance is indicated beforehand by it flying across the background, along with a flashing warning sign that points to the left or right side of the wall in the middle of the stage, indicating which side would catch players from being swept away by Rayquaza's wind.
Music[]
- The main music track is Mt. Chimney & Sky Pillar, an upbeat rock remix of the theme that plays inside the Sky Pillar in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald.
- The alternate music track is Sky Tower, a dramatic remix of the theme that plays inside the Sky Tower in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team.

Though it is not necessarily short, it is still missing some vital information and urgently requires it. You can help the McLeodGaming Wiki by filling in the blanks. |
Sky Pillar is banned in competitive play. It is an overly large stage with an uneven platform layout. The bottom level of the tower makes many infinites or chain grabs possible.
Origin[]
The layout of Sky Pillar in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
The Sky Pillar is a major location in the Hoenn region originating in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. It is a large tower located in Route 131 in the Hoenn region, though access to it is blocked off until the player enters the Hall of Fame or, in the games' remakes Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, until Wallace removes the seal during the Delta Episode. In the original games and Pokémon Emerald, the tower comprises multiple levels with rocks, broken tiles, and wild Pokémon encounters blocking their way, whereas the remake lacks such obstacles as Zinnia tells the player about the history of the Draconid people while they climb. The Legendary Pokémon Rayquaza resides at the very top of Sky Pillar and battles the player upon their encounter.
The stage in SSF2 draws inspiration from both iterations of the Sky Pillar across the games it appears in. Particularly, the blue coloration, rocks, and passageways are based on its original layout in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, whereas the smooth pillars and triangle-shaped peak are based on its updated appearance in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The attack that Rayquaza performs heavily resembles an attack it uses as a boss in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and as a stage hazard in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
