There were 4/5 hidden stages
Morgan’s stage pretty good music and lots of clocks
Nakaruru’s snow field stage
Alt sagat stage with eclipse
jungle (if you fight Geese as your last char then akuma)
and kidna
alt bison stage (if you fight bison as your last char then akuma)
but in general I loved the CvS1 music and stages but i think the arcade stage was pretty cool with the automatic doors and all
Fetus of God, definitely. That stage is something else. Tower of Arrogance from that same game is pretty cool too, with the tilted perspective and everything.
This made me laugh. the “ohohohohohoh” sold it. Fucking Naga.
Anyway the Alpha1/2 stage (I dont remember which Alpha it from) with the crowed on the street that throws money at you when you win. awesome.
The Tekken 5 Stage i think in the underground club with the people hanging on the scafolding cheering you on. Sweeet!
Basically any stage where people are cheering the fighters on. Its awesome. I never understand stages where there ar epople in the back round just walkin a long like nothing happening while two guys beat the living shit out of each other shotting fireballs and shit. You totally see that everyday right?
Most of the stages in alpha 2 were astounding, but overall I would have to go with the hangar from x-men vs street fighter.
A2’s stages were pretty great.
Ryu’s stage in particular. You get the impression that he’s been spending all his time training on the top of the mountains before someone climbed the mountain to challenge him.
MK2 acid pit was the shit
Huh. You should see the England stage in Final Fight 2. Capcom didn’t have much of a clue what England is supposed to look like back then.
The thunderstorm field stage in Alpha 2 and Blackheart’s stage in MSH
KOF95 Italy Stage.
No music at the beginning, just to start at the jump. and the music also is great.
Excellent.
SFII Ken Stage. It’s home, I can visit it in real life whenever i want! Frisko Baby!
Mortal Kombat Deception - The Neathbelly. Fighting inside a Ghost ship while you bat hanged corpses out of your way? Awesome. Actually, a lot of Mortal Kombat stages are awesome. Say what you want about how shitty those games are, but the artistic direction of those games is second to none and still is. Gotham City in the upcoming Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe game looks pretty badass too.
Groove on Fight: M-A-D/Solis Stage.
Haha, I always forget that Ken’s stage is in Frisco. I should drop by the wharf to try and catch some hadoukens.
kof 95 ikari warriors stage
mostly kof 94,95 backgrounds were good and those intros, what happened snk??!!
That’s cool shit man.
If you have photo of it, you should post it on the real life stages thread:

Is it? I always thought it was the East Coast somewhere…?
I got to Say Jubei’s stage in Samurai Showdown 2 was amazing atmosphere wise and Guy’s SFA2 stage was fantastic as well. Sadly in Alpha 3 his stage sucked but Gen retained a good one …
Ken’s 2I stage was in San Francisco. I guess because of that, I assumed his other stages where in San Francisco but his SF2 stage was just as likely to be on the east coast. That man sure loves his boats though.
Urien’s stage from 3s. Shit was too good. 
Ukyo’s raft from Samurai Shodown III. My favorite of all time.
lol, and I thought I was alone in this
