In your opinion,what are the best stages in fighting games? Here’s my list:
1.X-Men:Cota-All of them.
2.Marvel Super Heroes-Iron Man & Spider Man-Spider Man’s stage was the best because you had that cool ass music that fitted his stage & then when get to end of it,the newscrew is on a helicopter recording the fight live.Also Iron Man’s stage was cool as hell.
3.King Of Fighters-The Boss Team-It’s sad they don’t make stages like this anymore.You fight in front of a high rolling crowd,then when you beat anyone of the bosses,the boat moves,you can see Krauser’s castle in the far background along with a thunderstorm coming forth.
4.Garou MOTW-Terry Bogard’s stage-I like this stage because it’s broken down into 3 parts:1st the passengers are boarding the train,2nd is the sunset in the background & 3rd is the metal bridge.Also the music complimented this stage as well.
Street Fighter Alpha 2 - Gen’s Stage
Street Fighter EX2+ - The one where you fight in shallow water
Vampire Savior - Boss Jedash throbbing giant baby stage
SF3: 2nd Impact - Oro’s Cave with his pets
Super Turbo - Ken’s stage just because of the barrel
Marvel Super Heroes - Magneto’s Asteroid M stage for the ever changing floor or Shuma Gorath’s stage because it’s a loop
Last Blade 2 - Burning building stage was pretty dope
JoJos - Airplane stage
I liked Gen’s stage myself.A dark alley & the music were PERFECTION.I couldn’t believe I didn’t mention that.The stage that Yin mention from Vampire Savior is called “Tower Of Arrogance” & yes that stage is a mindfuck.Magneto’s Avalon stage in MSH was a good one,it moved closer to the sun & when it reached the sun,you see on the floor 'DANGER! & RED ALERT
Samurai Showdown had some great backgrounds as well.Sieger’s background in SS2 was very good.SS3 all the backgrounds were good especially Basara’s
Samurai Shodown 2, 3 and especially Asura Zanmaden stages (with real-time weather changes)
dont list SS1 - because SS2 stages are largely the upgraded versions of those
dont list SS4/5/5sp because those mostly used lower-quality rehashes of stages from previous games
dunno about Sen stages - they look cool yet kinda empty.
All of the stages in Fatal Fury Special are amazing. The sprites aren’t very good but the stages are beautiful and also happen to be based off of real places. ie: Terry’s stage is on a train going past Mt. Rushmore, Billy’s stage is inside the Big Ben or some other clock tower, Kim’s stage is near that glass pyramid building in Korea, etc.
I remember just how cool that stage was and I was hoping that there was going to be a Marvel Super Heroes game with a Baxter Building stage(former home of the Fantastic Four) or a battle on the S.H.I.E.L.D helicarrier. Uh, yes, I’m also a Marvel comics nerd lol. I’d love to see Capcom get to make a Marvel game where they have access to Marvel’s large roster of heroes and villains.
