I have a thing for final boss stages.
That Thanos one reminds me of an Unreal Tournament map
it’s tie between rachel’s from blazblue, the (green)chinese rotating background from capcom vs snk 2 and deejay’s from super streetfighter turbo.
Big fan of Samurai Showdown 2 stages.

Cammy and Guile’s stage in ST.
-oh and Hugo’s stage from 3S. It gave nice feedback every time someone was thrown or shitted on.

I love how there’s no music on this stage, just the sound of the building burning. The stage was also a little darker than it appears here when the game is played on a CRT.
Aomori (CVS2)
London (CVS2)
Cammy’s stage (ST)
Boxer’s stage (ST)
Neo Hong Kong (Gundam Battle Assault 2)
The Japanese Fortress stage in Soul Calibur 2 (I forget what it’s called. It has walls on 2 sides, ring outs on the opposite sides and cherry blossoms)
its funny my friends saw me playing that in the arcade, and they come over and say that 'the character graphics are horrible, why you play the old games? 'but wow the backgrounds are dope as hell’
probably the rxn capcom was looking for; go figure
yeah, i agree,the ambient background sounds (as opposed to music) coupled with the fighting sound effects really put the ambiance of the SNK weapons-based fighters on another level. That stage had the crackle of the burning wood and the flamelights flickering on the characters, etc… I’d really like to see this stuff catch on a little more today
Rose SFA2 Stage music came on for first time when I was pretty buzzed. That shit made it my favorite stage. Secret field on A2 is cool too.
Least favorite either chun li table stage on 3S or Elenas, awful music. For some reason on my old tv the elephants on dhalsims stage got wickedly loud despite tv being low. That always pissed me off.

The cherry blossom stage in MBAA, the fountain with all the lights in Tekken 6, and the Tekkaman Blade stage in TvC.
Pretty much why I chose it
Vega’s Stage (SF2)
Washinkyo, Amehon (TvC)
Swamp (MvC2)
Definetly more, but I can’t think at the minute.
cvs1 arcade stage, because nostalgia

Finally found an animated GIF of this one from Last Blade.
EDIT:
Found this on GAF. Finally someone put up an animated GIF of a Capcom stage.
Mike Haggar, kicking ass even as a background NPC.
Who is going to beat me to creating a site that contains every stage from every fighting game?

One of the few stages I actually remember
The roses are pretty
I like Rachel
