So i just got a chance to play on the new Airplane stage. While the stage looks cool, the motionsickness the was felt during ( and after) the match was not.
Now i have never been motion sick playing a videogame before. i was just curious as to if this had affected anyone else.
The stage in my opinion is distracting enough as it is, with the moving background, but that’s something i can get over. But not so much for feeling dizzy and wanting to puke.
Unfortunately there is no option to turn off a stage if it’s my opponents pick.
It’s a similar issue with the train stage in GGXrd and a few other stages with moving backgrounds in other fighting games, past and present.
That said, considering that the train stage in Xrd as well as these other moving stages were never banned, I doubt Skies of Honor will get banned as well.
Cant you train your brain to deal with motion sickness? People who play vr have issues with it asswell and deal with it by gradually building up playtime.
I don’t necessarily get motion sick but I do get slightly disoriented and lose characters places with the shifting plane, especial,y while they are jumping and the plane suddenly shifts. Easily banned stage.
It will most likely be at least soft banned at tournaments. Theres just a lot of very picky top players that won’t risk their spacing feeling off as the plane moves.
For casual play its pretty fine and the plane moves slowly enough where im not bothered. Used to play a lot of FPS and Sonic games back in the day and those games are unplayable if you have motion sickness or are easily disoriented
This stage is awesome. The airplane stage is very cool to look at, but I get distracted. I get distracted at the beach stage as well. I had a few times where the opponent would pick a stage then pick a costume/color to try and blend with the stage. Thats also pretty lame.
I don’t get motion sickness but it’s hard to concentrate on the match. There’s this one time where I tried to AA my opponent but to me I thought they jumped forward. Turns out it was just the moving images in the background
I get weird angular positions visually and anatomically (head) when I played it for a couple games. Not necessarily motion-sickness, but as if my head wanted to tilt as the background kept tilting at different angles, and it does affect spacing in some way.
I didn’t get this for the train stage in XRD btw. That stage felt okay for me. I would guess that the outer background objects being closer and the continuous tilting from both directions made it more of a problem for me in SFV compared to XRD.
I actually play(ed) Smash and none of the stages is as disorienting as this one. The only one that comes closer is Orbital Gate Assault, that’s already banned from tournament play for other reasons.
