|  "Comparing Fightng Game Backgrounds"
, posted Wed 28 Aug 01:00:
So I made up categories based on my favorite backgrounds. Lets discuss any backgrounds that you might think are better then the ones I picked for each category. Use any fighting game. (Have new categories, just add them.)
Best "Dark, Gritty, Back Alley Street Fight" Stage.
-Gen SFA2. Real gritty and atmospheric. Plus the rippling puddles are great!
-CvS1 Final Fight Stage. I love those shadows on the wall and the background is nice too. Very dirty trashy. But still not gritty enough as Gen. The shadows are awesome though.
-Korean Team KOF 99. I think this is it. Its the stage where its a busy street. Then its like midnight and you see the shadow of a man chasing after a dog. Funny but nice.
Best "Family Home" Stage.
-Sakura SFA2. You're fighting in front of Sakura's house. Its like play fighting with your friends, except people are throwing chi energy blasts and doing somersaults. Simple but cool. And her bro is playing on a Gameboy.
Best "SF Character Cameo" Stage.
-Ken SFA2.
-Any Pocket Fighter background.
Best "Sagat" stage and Best "Final Outdoor Duel" Stage.
-SFA2 Sagat Australia. Its late at night with storm clouds and wind. Sooo simple yet so good. You can feel the drama behind the fight by just fighting there. Two titans meet, both are the best in their respective art, but only one can win.
Best "Crowd Watcher/Final Fight" Stage.
-Guy SFA2. I found other crowd watcher stages lacking. Guile's SF2 stage was great. But the background characters in this stage seem more lively and engaged in the fight. Other crowd stages had annoying background people or just ugly, poorly drawn background people (SFA Charlie.)
Best "By the Dock" Stage.
-Gen SFA3. I like this more then Ken's 2I dock stage or the various KOF FF team dock stages. Its not gawdy and loud like those other stages. Simple fight to the death by the dock without annoying chearleaders in the background.
Best "Fighting on a Boat" Stage.
-KOF 98. Forget who the stage belongs to. But its nice.
Best "Emperor of the World" Stage.
-Gill SF3-DI and 3S. His DI stage was scarier because you had all of his "senators" watching you. So I always figured that if you beat Gill, you would still die. Cause who the heck is going to let their boss get defeated by some chump in a dirty gi anyway? His 3S stage was just regal and magnificent. Especially the intro.
Best "Ryu" Stage.
-Ryu SF3-3S. His SF2 stage was a classic. But this is a great update to it. Plus the birds fly up when you land near them!
Best "Outdoor Nature" Stage.
-Elena SF3-2I. Most beautiful outdoor stage. I know a lot of Samurai Showdown and Last Blade stages could go in here, but none match the graphic detail of CPS3 and Elena's Africa.
Best "Outdoor Party" Stage.
-Remy SF3-3S. Where the heck are you fighting at? Looks like a club but your not inside a building. Great visuals and cool onlookers.
Best "Akuma" Stage.
-Akuma SF3-3S. I think all of Akuma's stages have been great. But in the Alpha series you fought him in his island, which I thought was kind of silly. How the heck could Akuma have an island. This stage is good cause its like, you run into him in the middle of the night, in some dark forest and he just challenges you.
Best "Ninja" Stage.
-Ibuke SF3-2I. Her 3S stage was no good. This one is in a ninja village with COOL ninjas in the background. Very Last Blade-esque.
Best "Dojo" Stage.
-Makoto SF3-3S. Simple but good.
-CvS1 AoF Stage. Falling construction is always cool. Plus Takuma is pissed off in the background!
Best "Ruins" Stage.
-Urien SF3-3S. Awesome. And the music is great.
Best Chun Li stage and best "Market" Stage.
-Chun Li SF3-3S. Her SF2 stage was a classic, but like Ryu, this stage is a nice update. Plus you can break a table.
Best Yun/Yang stage and best "City Rooftop" stage.
-Yang SF3-3S. Its raining. Kind of boring actually, but this is my favorite stage from all of their other stages.
Best "Destruction" Stage.
-Shin Akuma/God Rugal CvS2. Friggen Tokyo is on fire while your fighting on a rooftop!
-Goenitz KOF 96. Or is it KOF 97 with Orochi. Anyway, its the one where the stadium gets trashed.
Best "Stadium" Stage.
-Final Team stage in CvS2. Its a nice place to fight.
Best "Military" Stage
?
Best "Sewer" Stage
-Hero Team KOF 99. Its simple but great. What else can I say. SNK made fighting in a sewer interesting.
Best "Terry Bogard / Railroad" Stage.
-Fatal Fury stage in CvS1.
Best "Geese" Stage.
-Geese stage in CvS1.
