I loved that stage.
Otherwise pretty much any stage with snow in any 3d fighter and I’m fucking there. I’m a sucker for those “desolate” stages.
I was already beat to the Boss team’s stage in KOF '96…KOF used to have some of the best stages.
All Fatal Fury stages except MOTW. They had so much life…
Alpha 2’s Australian stage was the shit too.
All stages from Marvel Super Heroes.
That African stage from SF EX 2 was pretty badass. Serengeti+night=instant classic.

I know this is necro posting, but it is probably better than making a new thread for the exact same topic. Vega stage from SF2
Besides the beautiful artistic aesthetics, the stage actually plays a roll in gameplay…this way back in 1991! Vega can climb the cage…he becomes part of the background, essentially unhittable until he flies off to come down with a claw dive or Izuna drop. Home field advantage actually means something for him!
Ryu stage from SFA2
Fetus of god from Vampire Savior (Jedah’s stage)
You guys need to link to actual full art for these stages.
MvC2 stages:
Ive never had a chance to play Upper yet, what is the best system to play it on? Can it be played on Mame or otherwise?
I really like any “arena” based stages where you get to fight in front of a large audience.
So stages like Osaka Arena (CvS2), the Arena from Tekken 4…those are usually my favorite locales.
I would say Dreamcast or PSP and no it won’t run on mame unless you have a beffy computer as Upper was on Naomi hardware.
If you want to play it so badly.
Yun/Yang stage from Third Strike. London from KOFXIII. Cosmic Elevator from SFxT.
