Good enough. I didn't think about Sloth, lol.

What do you mean your last one?

my last ban message (for making a "vita owner = pedo joke" which everyone does now anyway) implied i was nearing my final ban before a perm

 

[hitsugi]

Yo.

Damn, looks like someone can't participate in OPM threads.

Also, BlazBlue has background elements that I love, while Street Fighter has background elements that I generally find to be lame. What makes them different?

Although I like the hype sheep in SFV.

Probably because ASW stages (particularly BB) tend to be more fantastic and imaginative in nature. SF stages look like places you might see in the real world. BB's vistas, open skies and magical kingdom nonsense makes for a lot of fun colors, architecture and weird fauna/flora design.

I mean... It is Kagutsutchi after all. It's like the world revolves around that city or something.

Uh-OH, One Punch Man thread becoming dangerous?

I don't really understand the frauds among us meme.

Injustice died long before this joke did somehow.

I feel like the SF stages make less sense. Who fights at a train station while some guys play music and dance in the background?

I blame *****_

 

[notworksafe]

I really like the cruise ship, the boat, and the railyard stages in sf4. the rest range from meh to bad.

edit: africa stage with the plane is top tier also

 

[El Sloth]

i considered it but bagging on sloth seemed like the better course of action

wow dis cyberbullying

( ._.)

Its not that they make less sense, it's that the art direction is terrible. I think they think they're translating the old SFII design - like Russia or Ken's stage - into a modern look but it all comes together wrong.

I mean May's ship stage in Xrd doesn't make any sense but it has good art direction.

africa plane is probably the best example of Capcom succeeding at making a modern stage with the SFII feel.

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

My favorite SFIV stages:

Boat stage
East Asia Fair stage
Underpass stage
Temple stage
Railyard stage

I feel like the temple stage gets it the most though. That's just pure Street Fighter. That and the boat stage.

 

[mbpm1]

Cool SFIV stages

Africa Plane stage
Seth's lab
Temple stages
Boat stages

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

Uh-OH, One Punch Man thread becoming dangerous?

none of the stages from chrono phantasma are kagutsuchi. BB does a really good job of having interesting background items without them being attention stealing.

Some of my favorite stages:

The Gate

Moonlight Castle

Colosseum (though the silent variation is overplayed now)

Gravemarker of Bases

 

[Line_HTX]

Favorite Tekken stages:

URBAN JUNGLE

Noh Theater

Tulip Festival

Moonlit Wilderness inside the castle

That war torn city stage in Tekken 7 because you gotta have a city on fire.

 

[notworksafe]

morning mist bay also has a really good theme, so that helps

[Cindi Mayweather]

Seth's lab

This stage is everything I'm talking about that I personally hate about modern SF stages. Lots of dumb random shit. Like, why am I fighitng in a lab? This isn't Lab Fighter.

It really is the best stage. The theme owns bones. Which is amazing since most of SFIV's music sucks.

 

[Grakl]

SFIV music is pretty godlike in general imo, never got the hate

There's not a whole lot else going on in it tho and it has the exploding machine thing when someone wins which I like.

 

[shaowebb]

wow ...that OP.

 

[Beckx]

Shun's VF2 stage was jaw dropping at the time.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Africa, Indian, Brewery, construction stages are my favorite.

Good stuff Notworksafe. I like the TvC fightstick in the dumpster.

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

Some versions of the stage has a disco ball if I remember, and a bunch of scientists doing their thing.

 

[mbpm1]

Oh yeah, I forgot the brewery and the Alley stages.

Love those

Favorite Tekken stages:

URBAN JUNGLE

TTT Snow Stage

This is what bothers me most about the FANG stage
the background looks sorta cool
and then look at these dumbass cartoon characters BEING RANDOM HAHAHAHA

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

I love 2's stages so much. That Shun stage is incredible.

Exactly.

Apparently the roms in the NeoGeo bundle have torrent info in them. The allegation is that they were grabbed from torrent sites to create the bundle. Which even if it's done by the current IP holders is really kinda sketchy.

GOAT stage is still the bamboo forest from Bushido Blade.

Now I don't feel bad about playing their stuff on Fightcade instead!

 

[mbpm1]

They torrented their own games? lol

 

[oneida]

I think VF3 stages outshine VF2 stages personally

Lmfao
They couldn't be bothered to do their own rips.

Ehh, I like the Winter Palace from DR better, and I'm glad they brought that back for Tag 2 with a balcony break.

That Snoop stage was only tolerable when I substituted that cheesy ass song with either Bitch Please III or Who Am I (What's My Name).

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

THOSE are stages. I never really got the chance to play VF3 much, though. My arcade didn't have it when it came out.

 

[FadedRevolution]

Moonlit Wilderness is the GOAT stage

 

[Beckx]

They probably can't, cart inventory all probably got sold off to pay old SNK's debts!

Yeah I use Who Am I as a custom track there too lol. Winter Palace is such a good goddamn stage too, can't believe I forgot it.

 

[FACE]

I'm watching the IGN combofiend and mike "i'm cute as fuck" ross vid and I liked the stage until I saw the silly shit going on. How come every stage in SF now has to be some silly ass thing with dancing bears or people being chased by mechs now?

How come we can't have something like these stages?

When you walk in those puddles in SFV, it should affect the character mobility. [/B]
[/QUOTE]

I agree that the stages aren't very good, but I really dislike that idea. Keep that kinda stuff in Smash Brothers.

Edit: I wish Capcom gave us an option to disable background NPCs, it'd make every stage 15000x better.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

training room still best stage

 

[irfaanator]

I only like picking the under the bridge stage in sf4 b/c of the mago theory. So hard to choose a stage in asw games b/c all you got to go off is a name so I never really know what the stages or songs are in guilty gear.

 

[Kalamari]

GB abandoned us. He left to buy some cigs, but never came back.

 

[notworksafe]

SFIV music is pretty godlike in general imo, never got the hate

The remixes are all good but the original music is hit or miss. Though I like Rufus' theme so maybe I'm the crazy one.

 

[Perro]

I don't care about the stages, is all about the music. I always pick Pitstop 109 and Blast Furnace except when my FPS gets all weird.

 

[CountBlack]

Overpass still best stage

 

[Grakl]

Overpass still best stage

Yep

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

Overpass is fantastic.

 

[Sayad]

I bet most SFV stages would look better than those Alpha stages if we got panorama shots of them at the same size.
