Seconded. I always found Tower of Arrogance stage visually mind-blowing.

I didn't figure out that this was a forest until I was like 16 or 17. I always thought they were fighting at the bottom of a giant pit and the background was a bunch of huge rocks

The atmosphere from that stage design and music is fantastic. If anything, I used to be confused as fuck about Yoshi's 2P costume until I looked it up.

I used to think those were ship-like cannons on wheels.

I know right? There is something of atmospheric in Sagat's stage.

Blander concepts in general, and a worse balance between the parts of the artwork tailored to the native resolution (usually in the foreground), and blurry scaled down 3D or Photoshopped stuff in the background

I do like some of the stage ideas, though, like the tin-roofs-over-bustly-market one. But half of it looks like death.

Compare with this one: only the top part of the sky looks like it comes from adapted images; the rest is crisp pixel by pixel perfection

>>2884541
This is my favorite fighting stage ever.

I used to play darkstalkers with my friends and when I explained to them what this stage was their minds were collectively blown. I felt like Morpheus.

>>2884540
Shame that Night Warriors turned that stage an ugly pink/brown color.

Saturn port allows you to change it back to original Vampire 1 color and music

This one because it lets you set up an infinite right as the round starts that the opponent can't even escape depending on the character they chose

Is there any trick to getting that one stage in LB2 that opens with a black screen and pans down to some outdoor setting at night with a full moon? It happened to me once playing on FC and I could never figure out how to make it happen again
