You say VF4, but you neglect Lau, Pai, Wolf’s or Aoi’s stages (both vanilla and EVO)? Words fail me.

KOF had some good ones.Speaking of which here are some to consider:

1.96 Boss Team-Read my 1st post

2.Goenitz’s Stage-Basically Chizuru’s stage destroyed by his tornado.In the background,you see the circling cloud as if something big is about to happen,then you see a lot of trash & an occasional fan blowing by

3.Omega Rugal stage’s from KOF 98

4.The Japan team stage from KOF 95

5.Italy-Fatal Fury team stage from KOF 94

nearly all of VF4’s were bomb

A2 and Pocket Fighter stages

The DOA games (except the first) have some of the best stages ever.

You should check the Blanka stage then, one of the spectators there looks like he’s having his way with another guys ear.

Well, I’m pretty sure Vega is vain enough not to let anyone who isn’t dressed nice watch his fights.

am i the only one that really luvs the ff stage in kof95? you jump in the water and fight with wet feet, thats some awesome ass shit. just make sure you dont choose chin as your first character, with ioris popularity youd be juggled into infinity and beyond. the stage, the bgm, damn.

Moonlit Wilderness + music - you could put ANY FIGHTER FROM ANY GAME in that stage and it would fucking match.

SFA2 - Waterfall.

UMK3 - Riverfront with Subway music.

2I Hot Springs (Ryu stage), fighting in front of bathing ladies FTW (Lynn Kurosawa + Chun Li cameo isn’t bad either).

SF2- Guile’s Stage (the music has been stuck in my head since I first played)
TMNT:TF -Sky Palace (Mutagen!) and Diner
GGXX#Reload: Airplane (Johnny/May’s Stage)
Soul Calibur 1: Xianghua’s Stage
Soul Calibur 4: Pirate Ship Stage
SF4: Brewery, Crowded Street/Back Alley, Airport and Overpass.

Arcade version Killer Instinct’s Orchids rooftop and Sabrewolfs castle dining room stage. Not only did they look stunning, the music fits them so well. To this day i believe that game had some of the best sounds of any fighting game.

Agreed.Their stage in KOF 96 along with the music was good also.

Not one person said the stage from cvs 1 that you blow up when you level 3 super. That dojo under repair.

No you’re not, it was actually the first stage to come to my mind in this topic. The AoF Team’s stage is also one of my favorites, there’s something about the round starting in a moving elevator that I really liked for some reason.

Other stages I really like:
-Chizuru’s/Goenitz’s stage (KOF 96)
-Boss Team’s stage (KOF 96)
-Korea Team’s stage (KOF 96)
-O. Rugal’s stage (KOF 98)
-Krizalid’s second stage (KOF 99)
-Aquarium (KOF 00)
-Alpha 2 in general
-CvS2’s England stage.
