Hoping to shed some light on one of fighting games least talked about aspects - the stages!

Sounds odd to admit, but Capcom vs SNK 2 was the first 2D fighting game I physically owned. I bought it because I liked the still images in Nintendo Power. This kabuki sumo festival stage was the first level I ever played and I never forgot it. I think I chose Blanka, Ryo and Kyo iirc. (Just random characters with interesting designs.)
After that sampling of the genre I became obsessed and have played everything Capcom and SNK related, before and since.
Capcom vs snk is definitely ba great entry point imo! This game was also my gate way into SNK as whole
One of my favorite stages in this game! If you plan to do more of these, definitely go for it! Looking forward to more videos from you! I love the time taken to the information put here!
We need a Capcom vs. SNK 3! Imagine how many more stages can be made w/ real life locations.
Ah man that would be amazing! I do have hope for another entry in the series but it probably won’t be anytime soon unfortunately
@@baberuthless Seems like both companies are interested. Wouldn't be surprised if it happened within the next 15 years.
@@skunthundler Its certainly more likely than a new Marvel vs Capcom that's for sure
@@baberuthless
It does seem more likely yes.
However, due to the lack of Marvel, I could see the next CvS being made closer to Marvel in terms of aspects like at the very least gameplay and roster selection, but possibly also things like tone and stage design.
CvS1 had stages not only based on real life locations but specific locales from the games as well.
A future stage analyzer in the making! Do your best with the large wonderful selection of games and stages!
I certainly will! Thank you!
Haha, this sounds like the kind of thing the Alpha announcer might say :)
Nice! really informative. Definitely curious about the other stages too.
Thank you so much! definitely more to come soon!
I think that might not be a float of Nicotine but rather it's Zantetsu from Last Blade, given how far away it is it's almost impossible to tell. I never even noticed them until you pointed it out!
Yep, that is Goro Daimon banging the drums. If you have a Kyo Kusanagi vs Benimaru Nikaido fight on this stage, he comes off the drums and moves closer to the foreground, to watch them fight. Kyo, Benimaru, and Daimon are a canonical team in the King of Fighters series.
I actually didn’t know he changes his position if those characters are fighting I have to try that now!
@@baberuthless now that your stuff found its way to my recommendations, I now see that you did NOT need me to explain who Kyo and Beni are 😄. You probably know WAY more about KOF than I do.
I remember stumbling upon this game years ago and it became one of my personal favorites. To the point that i have the soundtrack for listening in my pile of personal music. Loved the atmosphere but it's sad that I found it much later and not during it's peak. Aomori is my favourite stage too. Has a "it's Saturday" feel that I cannot explain.
CVS2 is my top favorite fighting game of all time (at least until I play for SF6 lol). But you're right, I never really considered this stage to be well thought out. I really like your analysis of it and pointing out all of the references. My favorite CVS2 stage has always been the final stage on fire. I just love the music there, and the feel of higher stakes. Although, I wish they copied the glow from the car crash stage in CVS1 onto here. Speaking of which, my favorite stage in CVS1 is the alley way with the shadows on the background walls.
Also, I think those quiet stages makes CVS2 special. I quite like the rainy rooftop and the windmill stages. Not many or probably any Capcom fighting game has this feeling of serenity; it's a very SNK thing to do, which makes it that more special.
I do think the quite stages like the windmill stage do help in breaking up the more celebratory ones. CVS1 In particular is probably my favorite set of stages in a fighting game! That’s also a good point about the lack of a fire glow effect in the shin akuma stage that would have gone a long way
So first it was MVC Fighting Collection getting announced, then SVC Chaos shadow dropping, and now we not only have a release date for MVCFC, but now we have Fighting Collection 2 with both CVS games, Project Justice, Plasma Sword, Alpha 3 Upper, both Power Stone's, and Capcom Fighting Evolution, a lot has happened this year that's for sure. (I'm so hype for both MVC and CFC2)
Just discovered your channel. Although this stage and its theme is not as popular as the London stage, it's one of the most played stage in tournaments. I myself don't care about its theme much, though I do like the cameos of characters. Thanks to you, I learn that there's cameos of Nicotine and Bishomon. And you're absolutely right, stages and its design and appearance are just as important to a fighting game as the characters, mechanics, and techniques themselves.
My favourite is London stage, because i think the ost is the best in all fighting games. But this is a closest 2nd place. I looove cvs2
Excellent choice! I love the change to night in that stage as well! Its a very SNK thing
Great video. Fighting game stages need more videos like this dedicated to them.
Fun fact about this game both Ken Masters and Robert from the KOF/Art of Fighting games are the hose of the Capcom Vs Snk 2 Tournament even though Robert isn't in the game.
That SF Alpha 3 end credit song is so iconic.
This is a really cool series, hoping to see more :)
You certainly will!
Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing more from this series!
I had no idea there was so much to this stage, Great breakdown
been playing this game for 20 years and even i didnt notice some of those. thanks.
I would've never known about these deets, too focused on the fighting lol. Dope vid
Not gonna lie... But, your introduction in this first video I'm watching from you (coming from the Thorgi's arcade's SF retrospective video on which he recommended your work) made me a new subscriber on your UA-cam channel. ❤
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it!
Oh you gonna take us for a ride!
I never noticed Bishamon and Nicotine ,this was a great surprise.
4:07 I thought that was Zantetsu from Last Blade, to be honest. Great analysis and great video, tho :)
It’s super hard to see so I wouldn’t blame you for thinking that 😅
Looking forward to more videos like this!
ha this is so fucking cool
I really need to pay more attention to fighting game stages now.
My favorite stages are the Osaka boss stages. The Arena shows a big screen, a lot of people watching, the sky Starting of bright which later turns dark & gray
I do like that one a lot too! It’s like part one of three. Since the other two stages after kinda escalate the stakes
@@baberuthless the Osaka rooftop stage where you fight Akuma or Rugal in the middle of thunderstorm with the city in the background. Then there's the Osaka burning city where you fight Shin Akuma or Ultimate Rugal where the city is burning because Akuma & Rugal destroyed the castle.
This stage was very very memorable
NAHHH bro I love this channel, your FIRST VIDEO IS ON CVS2 STFUUUUU 😭
Great video!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I like you you have really good taste in games :)
Really wish I could have helped with this video. There's ways to expand the view of the sage beyond its regular borders, remove the HUD and character sprites entirely, and rip the individual textures & animations from the background
I do appreciate that, but I typically like to keep it what the player would see in game as it is since I’m not typically boundary breaking or anything. That being said a HUD removal would be very useful for games like this
I never noticed Bishamon in the back there!
Also I feel like this inspired the Downtown stage from Blazblue.
This video is the reason I’m finally making the trip to Japan. (And the game, of course)
You’ll love it! If you go to Aomri specifically they have an incredible museum called Nebuta museum where these massive floats are on full display.
Btw I got yo see this parade in person a few weeks ago and it was totally worth it. It seemed just like the stage.
🎉🎉🎉great video!
Found you recently, love your content. Keep it up!
MvC2 and CVS2 player/enjoyer =D
Thank you! I certainly will ☺️
I prefer these 2D flat sprites vs the 3D fighting thats been coming out. One- characters separate firmly from the backgrounds. Two- most arent animated on two’s. Thats why i love arcsys games as they were able to do both of these
Did you have a source for Bishamon and Nicotine in the background? Because not only did I never notice, but apparently the ENTIRE INTERNET has never noticed. You may have actually discovered something new in this game, like 25 years later.
Glad you asked! The raw textures of the background have been uploaded and thankfully background elements mentioned are much easier to see. mugenguild.com/forum/PHPSESSID.tei7dhtvre5trv1opk94ugdapc/topics/cvs2-stage-models-and-textures-198586.0.html
@@baberuthless Ah, of course. Technology marches on. Very cool though that this remained a secret for decades. And awesome job on doing all the research for these videos.
Thank you! 😊
Such a cool stage, thanks for the breakdown
Gosh I love this game. Such a shame it's not backwards compatible, not even on the 360. Guess I'll have to dig out my OG Xbox this weekend.
wow, interesting vid /thanks!
Interesting video concepts instant sub!
BEST FIGHTING GAME CVS2
This is a very good video
great game great vid
Thanks Dan!
Terry in SF6. We might get a CvS3.
Or an SVC2 👀
@@baberuthless yes!! Let's talk more!!
Hype
Now that I think of it, I don't think there's a single stage in CvS2 that I don't like.
If I was to REALLY nitpick, I guess New York could be seen as a bit bland? But overall all the stages are great in CvS2
I agree it’s one of the few games that has bangers for everyone. The New York one is goofy but I def dig it. Gotta have the cowboy drinking a beer! Classic America all right 😂
I’m sorry to inform you all about this but all of the stages in the first game are far superior stages. I love my cvs2 but cvs1 definitely has the best presentation and stages ever.
Correct
Ever considered mugen stages?
That would be interesting to explore! With Mugen though I wouldn’t even know where to start lol
