The background could be a Moth's nest that looks like an exploding bomb. As for the foreground I have no idea lmao.

Since Mollo is from Neo Fire Capital, I think that should definitely be the setting of his stage.

As examples, it could be within the Endless Emporer's throne room, or the ghetto understory of the Capital buildings.

EDIT: The Emperor's Lair has been made https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1907873468

You should go for a neon lighted storefronts filled with cars and trash. A sort of cyberpunk street look. You could go for a walk-off style stage like Onett from Smash. To have a more balanced stage, players could fight on top of the neon signs and some scaffolding above ground with the background just being busted-in building windows. The lore could be that the moth people moved to the Neo fire capital due to the lights and are suffering from the cost of living near the royalty.

The setting could be a resistance base in a rundown slum of Neo Fire Capital.

I've just been using Clairen's stage as Mollo's. His lore is tied close enough to hers that the stage works for both of them. Rivals generally doesn't have stages that close to one another, plus I don't really have any "normal" layout ideas that aren't being explored already by other people.
Not that it wouldn't be cool to have his own stage, it just feels a lil' unnecessary.

Maybe Mollo's stage could be a rebel base? It would look pretty run down and there would be other rebels hanging out in the background (I have no idea what they would look like). As for the platform layout, I'd like to see a reverse Battlefield approach. 2 platforms on the side and one platform in the middle, but as opposed to the middle platform being higher than the 2 on the sides, it would be the other way around.

i like the idea of a rebel base. rebel bases are usually atop roofs, right?

reverse battlefield layout is just frozen fortress. not a bad idea but i feel it should be a little less standard while still being comfortable.

i immediately went into the stage maker and created a layout that would be comfortable that's a mix of fire capital's verticality and spirit tree's platforms over the edge with a frozen fortress-esque general layout. let me know what you guys think. http://prntscr.com/qm2qyj

I think the lower platforms are a bit high: does UTilt reach them?

I do really like the high platforms over the edge.

I actually did a revision of the platform layout recently because the middle platforms were interfering with mollo's basebombs. I'll upload it when i'm done eating.

here's my revision of the layout. while i did forsake the high edge platforms i figured the middle platforms needed to at least allow mollo to be able to use his bombs properly. the basebombs were being thrown above the initial platforms. the edge platforms are still pretty high though.
i should also mention the bottom blastzone is 140 so bad horizontal recovery isn't totally screwed.

i think something thats not quite on the street floor but kinda low thats the style of clairens level would be cool. i dont think inside of anywhere would be cool, maybe like ellainia's level, on top of a small platform above the street floor that has buildings around it.. i dont quite know what would fit him though

you know, i think platforms above the edge arent really mollos style. i think something like Absa's level without the platforms on the edge would fit him better, a couple platforms for his aerials but mostly flat, maybe even a dip in the center, becuase a mostly flat area with little platforms allows his bombs to be effective
