riderr3 Posted June 2, 2018 Also seconded for MK. Soul chamber is impressive. Especially when I played it back in 90's. Also in MK3 is possible throw opponent to upper floor of that location. Some MK2/MK3 stages gives me inspiration for my wads. 3 Share this post Link to post
[McD] James Posted June 2, 2018 I like Street Fighter more than Mortal Kombat, but I always found that Mortal Kombat had the better stages. 1 Share this post Link to post

Same, that's my favorite level as well, the version from the original trilogy. The re-imagined/redone/modernized version from MK9 is awesome too and it also has a stage fatality in that game, but it's missing all the creepiness the original had, and the trees themselves also look much friendlier instead of threatening. There's no more darkness to be found. Another stage I absolutely love is this one from MK9: Edited June 2, 2018 by Agent6 2 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Smash Brothers isn't a fighting game? What the hell is it then, a puzzle game? Gtfo here scrub rofl Agent6, to me that's the defining MK stage. I always loved the moon in the background and deep blue color, seeing it revised in the newer games was great. Like Ajora, I always found SF more fun than MK, but always preferred the MK stages. Edit: Added a pic just to appreciate how faithful they were when making the new version of that classic stage Edited June 2, 2018 by Doomkid 2 Share this post Link to post

And I also agree, the reasons you mentioned are the same ones I find that stage to easily be the best in the series, if it wasn't for the Living Forest. But honestly the entire series has amazing and very memorable stages: Spoiler Edited June 2, 2018 by Agent6 2 Share this post Link to post
Bauul Posted June 2, 2018 As soon as I saw the title I knew Mortal Kombat would be mentioned. Its visual style isn't that dissimilar to Doom's. 0 Share this post Link to post

Barry Burton Posted June 4, 2018 Street Fighter 3rd Strike has some really nicely designed stages to brawl on. 2 Share this post Link to post
CARRiON Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) King of Fighters and Samurai Showdown have amazing stages. E: For some reason, my chosen gifs turned into blurry messes. View them here: http://snk.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Stages Edited June 4, 2018 by CARRiON 1 Share this post Link to post

Nine Inch Heels Posted June 4, 2018 Two of my favourite brawler stages ever: Battletoads in battlemaniacs Stage 3 and stage 5. I love them both for being divine fun, and basically being so off kilter that they make for a wonderful change of pace, quite literally: Stage 03: Stage 05, comes with a pretty decent fanmade version of the original MIDI even. Also good fun, albeit easier than the "Turbo Tunnel, imo: 1 Share this post Link to post

qdash Posted June 4, 2018 Ryu's stage from Street Fighter 2, because it was very first time I ever seen Street Fighter 2 in my life and I was impressed. Second one is MK2 stage: 1 Share this post Link to post
Shin Godzilla Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Among many others, I like this stage from SF Alpha 2. The atmosphere is impeccable, even if the animation sometimes hurts the game's framerate: Also, Cammy's stage from Alpha 3, which looks like a great vacation spot in the Greek islands (but also very small in this post, so try here for the full-sized image): 1 Share this post Link to post
geo Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) I don't know my favorite... but I'll tell you my least favorite: The photo doesn't do the actual stage justice as to how bland it is. A square environment without much going on. Its based on the Sears Tower in Chicago, because when you want to be inspired by Asian mythology, you look to the American skyline. 0 Share this post Link to post
