Character Specific Stages

[Lemres]

Stages with rain and lighting+thunder are awesome.
But I’d have to go with that roofstop stage from Tekken 6, that music that went with it was too good.

Not sure if you played Tekken 4 or not, but I think you’ll like this stage. I personally like this better than Tekken 6’s.

personally when i think about fg stages. I always admire the 2d one but not 3d ones. I think the only 3d one with stages i like were Powerstone, Bloody Roar, and Kof MIRA. well soul calibure 2.

I don’t like anything but the training stage in SFxT because of all the shit that’s going on in the background. I find it really distracting. I can tolerate the Pandora’s Box stage or the space shuttle too, but something like the Jurassic Research stage or the one with the fucking Wooly Mammoth chasing you? No fucking thanks.

Training stage of SFxT is one the stages I hate the most. I hate the busy look of the design. Shit reminds me of Michael Bay’s Transformers.

I don’t like the design, but at least there’s no motherfuckers running around like monkeys in the background. I hate that shit. Too much… Way too much.

Also, rainy stages are cool… Except in Yang’s in 3S… I always fuck up my parries on that stage. Idk if it’s because of the game running slightly slower on the stage or if the rain distracts me… but I always fuck them up.

SFII Honda’s Ending Theme also goes well with bath house. One of the bootlegs replaces his BGM with his ending theme.

Why the hell isn’t there a bathtub stage in SSF4?!? Pisses me off.

I miss character specific stages…Seems to have went out the window in the PS2 era. I remember SFA3 had close to 30 characters and most of them had their own stages. The days of those levels of presentation seem long gone, though.

That said, some old fashioned presentation could work wonders. MVC1 was like, 30% actual game and 70% visuals, sound, and atmosphere and it’s still rather unforgettable.

Word! So much more went into the MvC development than MvC2… MvC2 was just a clusterfuck.
MvC even had character themes!

Alpha 3 for the DC had more than 30 stages, damn game had close to 50. Don’t forget they had a shit load of non characters specific stages.

Damn, now that I think about it, the stages from back then are all better than they are now. Dem Pocket Fighter stages have me rollin every time I see’im.

MY ASS.

T6 rooftop stage has one of the greatest themes for a fighting game stage, ever, I mean actually fighting to it, it gets you pumped. Every fight on that stage is intense.

i miss balrogs sf2 stage or any SF2 Stage. but the alpha series had some creative stages

If making expansive 3d stages is so hard, just make them 2d. Can still keep 3d character models, on top of gorgeous 2d backdrops with perhaps NPC sprites. Character specific stages were awesome, yeah and character themes are awesome too these should be mandatory for every fighting game.

Another thing is that characters don’t have their own theme either. This especially disappointed me in the case of Tekken. Tekken 1-3 had both character-specific stages and themes. Unfortunately, that’s not the case anymore. I do understand that it’s hard and time-consuming to make both especially now with the amount of characters we have in FGs recently (TTT2, AE). It would be nice to have these again.

AE and Marvel 3 have character themes.

Also, I really dig the 3D stages of today, some people say there’s too much going on but I find I don’t have a problem focusing on what’s going on.

They do need to fix the lag issues though. That Asgard stage is beautiful until you drop your basic combo AGAIN.

Actually I was referring to stages for AE. Should’ve been more clear.

Difference of opinions I guess. Tekken 4 skyscraper gets me pumped all the time. Piano instrumentals are my weakness, especially when mixed in with a good beat.

Anyone have a favorite SC3 stage? I really liked the clocktower and I thought it suited Zasalamel pretty well. Also Setsuka’s stage and the lost cathedral (even though it was shared).
