Honestly though, if your space elevator doesn't have walls strong enough to withstand the force of a 300 pound pro-wrestler, you're probably doing something wrong.
Benjamin Williams for cost cutting purposes they outsourced a lot of the work to one of them countries where the labour is cheap. So it’s quite possible swinging wrestlers or bears around inside it is not advisable.
@@SgtSupaman In fairness to Hoy, he was right--the window didn't break when he threw himself against it. It just....popped out of the frame. So he was technically correct!
Ooh, ooh, I have science trivia! The reason the space elevator flips upside-down halfway through the journey is so it can slow down without turning the ceiling into the floor! (Interior designers generally recommend against that.) And you need to slow down before you hit the top, otherwise bad things will happen to the space elevator and anyone on it. (Think of it as a car crash, but faster, and also in space.) I mean, there are other ways to deal with these issues, but none are quite as cool or simple as spinning the elevator around halfway through. Spinning makes everything better.
@@ChadGatling You are not travelling at orbital speed, but you might be travelling at kilometres per second, otherwise getting all the way to geostationary orbit might take a while... like seriously, it's almost 38000 kilometres straight up to get there. At highway speed, that's more than 2 weeks of non-stop driving, before your (at this point presumably confused) GPS satellite tells you (in person) that you've arrived.
@@ChadGatling Yes, since you for any given point of the trip up the elevator (untill the end of it, presumably) have an angular velocity smaller than orbital, and no vector exceeding escape velocity, you would indeed fall back to the earth, if you jumped of the elevator. Eventually, that is, because you do have a significant momentum upwards. So if you slowed down using only earth gravity, you would spend some time experiencing weightlessness. And if you want to slow down faster, which you might want to do, since you are traveling quite fast and deaccelarating naturally could double your travel time, flipping upside down and applying the breaks (or whatever the method of quickened acceleration is chosen) is the way of doing it.
How could you guys forget about Destroyed/Exploding Planet Namek from literally any of the Dragon Ball games... like... the planet is actually on fire and has lava and is crumbling all around you
Or West City, where you could actually break people's houses and cars when you're fighting. I'm surprised the Zeni you win afterwards doesn't go towards paying for all the property damage.
Max Littlewood Worse the Kombatants ( I had to) never learned, because in MK( they went back to hell, this time with Cerberus in the backdrop, wanting to kill someone. Oh, but they did found news ways to use the lava..."Stage Fatality #1"
The good thing about fighting in Fiesta del tomate (actually called Tomatina) is that at least the blood stains will get confused with tomato sauce stains
nylaysu meike and still I can't help but feeling sorry for Sebastian (Lili's butler) whom will have to get rid of both out of her perfectly white dress, probably before her afternoon tea...
Option 1: Get off the ship while you can. Option 2: It's a merchant ship? Search it for treasure while the owners flee. Option 3: This would be a great place to punch someone! I don't think you're allowed to be a fighting game character if you wouldn't pick option 3.
Or maybe... you want to do option 2 but the other guy wants to punch your face in? Also it's Soul Caliber, They don't really do "safe" fighting arenas. Closest I ever saw to a "safe" place to fight was the garden in a castle... with 8 foot deep koi ponds to fall into and drown. I mean they have a long tradition of fighting on the roofs of castles. The loser is often determined by who falls off first. Worst though was actually the boss arena in SC1(I think), it's a semi-solid platform made of lava surrounded by non solid anything.
Luigi was killed by the Grim Reaper, who Luigi will kill to take up the mantle as the new Angel Of Death and get his patented Death Stare and his own Reaper Weapon, his Sniper Rifle. Sniper Luigi backstory confirmed!

"If you or I were to suddenly find ourselves in hell which is to say a literal physical manifestation of the concept of a bad afterlife where the wicked are punished for all eternity" we'd ask to see the boss lady, aka Jane? I'm sure I could trade my likes on all these Oxbox vids for a ticket out of there...
All jokes aside, I doubt Jane is _that_ high in the daemonic bureaucracy. If she was, she wouldn't have time to help OxBox! My personal guess is that she's a middle manager who takes UA-camr form to destress after a long day dealing with misfiled souls and whatnot.
Timothy McLean - unless of course, she is on top of the bureaucracy - there she would have enough time for to do whatever she wants, minus some unavoidable business meetings once in a while... Speaking of that... isn't she sometimes absent, whith just so whimsical excuses as E3 or other gaming conventions - or actually taking a parable flight sponsored by NASA and the guys behind Mass Effect?... Sounds awfully suspicios, don't you think?
I'm surprised you didn't say for Smash Bros: All of them Like, you've got 5 or 6 different versions of "fighting on a race track" and the card are all too happy to run you over. You got 3 where super powerful gods show up and they're none too happy. You have a giant city where an unstoppable chimera can eat and kill you instantly. You've got the construction scaffolding that Donkey Kong took Pauline full of fire and barrels. Like, there are a lot of places any other fighting game character would question your sanity. I'm pretty sure Ryu is at this point.
Don't forget the PokeFloats stage, where you're fighting on a bunch of giant balloons. Or the various Star Fox stages, including some where the ships you're on explode from under you.
samuel rodriguez Brinstar depths, Brinstar, Rainbow Road, Mute City, MarioKart, Midgar, Umbra clock tower, Spirit Train, Final Destination, Corneria, Venom, Norfair, Port town Areo Drive, Shadow Moses Island, and Garden Of Hope are all stages that have the fighters fighting on a Race track, with lava around, Giant aliens, God’s, Angels, and some Militarized Island with soviets and Giant mechs fighting.
-plus the intro stage in tekken 7's story mode which just says ring out by volcano, classic family tradition for the micima (oops misspelled that) family
Although smash bros did appear I feel like the Big Blue stage which is literally fighting on the back of incredibly fast race cars is way more dangerous
Dino Dive I agree. It may be one of my favorite stages, but that doesn't change the fact that fighting in Big Blue is like fighting on top of a bullet train traveling at least ten times faster than it's top speed while a formula 1 race was going on directly beneath the suspended tracks.
Other candidates from Smash include race tracks while the race is in motion which is a recurring motif (Big Blue is an unusual example in that you're on the cars rather than having to dodge the cars as they go past you), two biplanes that are in flight, a cave in an alien planet which half fills with acid periodically (Actually half the Metroid stages are really bad ideas - lots of acid floods, giant monsters spinning the stage, tidal waves of lava, that sort of thing), the backs of pokemon shaped blimps. ...And every single Star Fox stage, which all seem to take place either on the hull of the Great Fox, always while it's in flight, sometimes while it's in space, or on various other space craft. Sometimes while they're in space.
I'd like to add an additional candidate: PokeFloats. Why are you fighting on Parade inflatables? No idea, but it can not be easy to stay balanced on those things.
Wolfiyee Now Kellam has taken Luigi's place as Nintendo's resident butt monkey. Sakurai, please restore the status quo, make Kellam DLC in Fire Emblem Awakening.
l0stndamned that sounds strangely awesome :D Sort of like a metal band or something :D but then again metal bands can be called anything. There actually is one that's called "We butter our bread with butter" xD
Love how you chose the two characters with the whitest outfits, just to prove the tomato point xD But personally I think the house ruined by a volcanic eruption, in the same game, is worse. The house is on fire, molten stone are still falling down from the sky and IF you manage to hit the right spot on the floor you'll fall through to the ground, which is also on fire
Take it from me. You only get covered in blood so many times before you just stop caring and change all your wardrobe to red. I used to wear White. White! I never got any time to do anything but clean the blood off it! But now i wear red, much easier. Barely even need to bother cleaning it afterwards.
You just move a bit and shake it off. It's better with proper armour on. In clothes they just get all heavy and sticky and not nice. But with armour, it only builds up on the flat parts, the joints will naturally keep most of the blood off by moving around during the fight. Then, since it's read, all you really need to do is pour a bucket of water on your head to get the worst of it off, rather than having to scrub for hours to get the red out of it. Worst thing is when you get your weapon too covered in blood. Chunks of flesh and hair clogging up the weapon until it's just a club
Nice pronunciation of "Die Zauberflöte", Andy. Really, I once heard someone trying to explain the Mozart-easter egg on that one Overwatch map and almost strangulating himself with his own tongue.
yeah.. its rare, but andy is british.. Usually americans are the only one too lazy to give a fuck to look up and then to try too do a bit of correct pronunciation. but this..? compared to the usual fare is.. hhnng sublime
When you say a ship is "about 10 minutes away from being something that gets explored by a Discovery Channel mini-sub in 400 years' time," doesn't that mean it's already in a state of being something that gets explored by a Discovery Channel mini-sub in 400 years' time? I think the remains of the fighters would only add to the interest of the piece rather than the general content of the article.
In some of the DBZ games you can actually fight INSIDE series villain Majin Buu. This means Buu just had a Super Saiyan buffet! Stick of Truth is not exactly a fighting game, but you do fight inside Mr. Slave’s butt!
My honorable mentions: 1) Soul Calibur 3 - Fuji Lava Bed: seriously, a cruise in the caldera of Mt. Fuji on a thin rock sheet floating on, well, lava? 2) Darkstalkers 3 - On the Side of a Skyscraper: gravity sure has been defied there... 3) Super Smash Bros. Melee - Lylat Cruise (on the wings of a spacecraft during a space battle), Big Blue (on the track of a F-Zero Grand Prix). Melee has a lot of dangerous examples, yes :') As a side note... ehm... in the fighting game I'm developing, there is a falling elevator, the roof of a high speed train, aaaand a villa on fire. I think I should have got the safety clearance before implementing them :')
Also add the fact that one of the character in the game series is Faust and he actually have a giant paper bag (similar to the boxes in the stage) on his head...
That surrealist opera house from Guilty Gear Xrd looks like it came out of either a walkthrough haunted house attraction, a Batman Arkham series video game, A Tim Burton Film Project, or literally Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated (That pretty interesting Scooby Doo cartoon made in 2010 that you should watch.).
No Inside Majin Buu from DBZ Budokai 3? If you win, you're digested, if you lose, you're digested, if you win and escape, congrats! Buu just absorbed the person you were fightings strength, and is stronger than them. Good luck!
The tomato festival would be the only one to give you a dry cleaning bill? I'm pretty sure if I ended up in Dracula's castle and came across Dracula, werewolves and Death I'd need to have my trousers cleaned.
There's the aptly named Tower of Arrogance in DarkStalkers 3. Gravity has taken a 90 degree turn, and you're fighting on the side of the building. As there's at least one normal human muggle character in said game, we can confirm it isn't the monster characters changing their own gravity. There's windows you could fall through, if it were slightly more realistic, and helicopters hovering below. If gravity were to correct itself, the fighters could have an unpleasant encounter with those spinning propellers. Thinking you could survive a fight on the vertical side of a building should show why it's called the Tower of Arrogance.
Another Soul Calibur favorite: the Phantom Pavilion. Because seesawing in a giant metal cage before falling into a fiery pit is always how I've wanted to go out.
I would have figured the obvious Tekken inclusion would be the ice floe in Tekken 5. It's in the arctic, so it's freezing cold (and many of the fighters are shirtless to boot). It's ice, so the footing is lousy, and if you're fighting as or against someone heavy, you're in constant fear of them smashing right through it. And to top it all off, your only spectators are a bunch of uninterested penguins, and, more likely than not, a boat full of Green Peace protestors that will hound you for the rest of you or your opponent stumbles over the (invisible) line and into the "audience."
I would also suggest Tekken again with their latest game in which you fight inside an active volcano. Also Bayo´s stage in Super Smash Bros where you fight on top of a broken clock tower that hurtles towards the ground down an impssibly deep cliff.
In Samurai Showdown V there's a hell stage as well, a pile of corpses and a pool of blood are right in the center of the stage and the theme music is freaking disturbing
The single worst fighting spot: School. What was an even(ish) fight quickly becomes a bloody popularity contest, teachers usually intervene before you can beat your opponent into submission, ugly background, just all around bad fighting spot
These fighting characters seem to have made far safer choices, in most other games the protagonists at some point find themselves in a fight on the outside of planes, trains, on top of road vehicles, on a bunch of floating platforms they have to jump between (which may even crumble and fall), in buildings/tombs that are collapsing or even falling in the air. Or if you're someone like Bayonetta who seems to like mixing things up, falling in the air on platforms!
I’ve got to say Tekken 7’s finale of the Mishima blood feud picked the most over the top venue imaginable. I’m just glad there weren’t any spectators for the father son climactic punch up inside an active volcano. Bar Akuma who was clearly jealous that someone might have a more extreme choice of local than he did on their CV so he sticks around to play the winner at the end.
In all honesty Street Fighter X Tekken itself, may be the worst place to have a fight in fighting game history. We're talking about a game which sold and reviewed so poorly, that the sequel which would have come from namco bandai was cancelled.
If #1 isn't Janes back yard imma be really disapointed. The smiting Jane would do upon us from ruining her bed of roses is unfathomable..... Also we could dent her world destroying lasr canon thingy, so there's that as well.....
Of course she has roses. Just don't touch them. They're very poisonous. She also has a World Ending Cannon in progress in her basement. She's gotta have backups just in case.
There are plenty of stages from Smash that could have been picked over Dracula's Castle. Like... at least 95% of them. There are a lot of terrible places in Smash games to have fights in. Pretty much any StarFox stage, any stage based off of a racing game, New Pork City where a giant monster can one shot you, Bayonetta's stage where you're fighting on top of a clock's face, Great Cave Offensive which is filled with lava that can one shot you if you suffered enough damage beforehand, Shadow Moses Island where a giant mechanic monster bursts through the background and could easily stomp on any of the fighters, any of the Metroid stages that fill with lava or the one where Kraid spins the entire stage as you fight atop it... bottom line is, Smash stages are really terrible places to pick a fight in.
Craig B And next to a monorail line too. Bet the DOA fighters didn't think about that before knocking each other into the neon sign on the roof, causing it to fall onto the track and derailing an oncoming train, potentially killing everyone on board.
With how much Andy loves fighting games, I can't wait to see him of all people holding the EGX OXBoxtra showdown. Wonder what kind of background will that one have, hmm
Fighting Stages are honestly the best part in fighting games, mostly because the have little to no reason why are they fighting their like inside a mall with people not interrupting or close to a volcano by hot lava. Smash Bros series has one of the better stages since they are platforms and most likely to get K.O by hazards plus are way more unique than most fighting games except MUGEN.
Exactly, what's the fun in fighting in a logical place like an arena or dojo when you could be fighting on top of an alien pyramid, in space, a disco, a zoo or on top of the wrinkly head of a 50 meter large pug?
@@blondbraid7986 That is what I like fighting games for their stages besides the characters. The one that has gotten good of that is SF5 fighting in the beach while people are watching the fight.
Fetus of God from the dark stalkers games is something I would never want to be close to, let alone spend multiple rounds fighting in close vicinity to
To bad this is a beat em up list, otherwise I would say the worst place to have any kind of fight or activity is the mind of other people. Like in Psychonauts, and my mind would be the worst of the worst. Just saying. Don't have battles in other people's heads.
08:20 You think Capcom would learn after that but no in Street fighter Alpha 3, Guile’s stage involves him riding a train as well. Also Birdie’s Street Fighter Alpha 2 Stage is a men’s restroom.
Well... I'm surprised you didn't mention Pokken Tournament and fighting inside an active volcano. Or worse, a haunted mansion during a halloween party. Or another world forged by basically an evil god.
Okay, outsidexbox, I'm officially disappointed because you forgot these games and stages for this list: 1) Luigi's Mansion in Super Smash Bros; 2) literally the Bat-Cave in Injustice 2 (partially because you may land on the Batwing or other painful to land on tech, but more so because if Batman catches you, he'd probably feed you to Killer Croc, who is hiding in the nearby sewer system - it won't even technically break Batman's one rule because Killer Croc would technically be the murderer, so LOOPHOLE!!!!); 3) the Entire Bowser's Castle Stage for Super Smash Bros (pretty much copy, paste every point about Hell); 4) the final Stage in Marvel vs. Capcom (I get that you have to defeat the bad alien, but why do it alien's own terms and probably his own homeworld? Why not make a rocket with a nuke on it and launch it into outer space to murder the alien remotely? If Tony Stark can make the entire Iron Man suit, I'm pretty sure he could a murder rocket/nuke combination like I'm suggesting!); And 5) literally under the Sea in Aquaman's throne room, again from Injustice 2 - (basically substitute the idea of Batman feeding you to Killer Croc instead having it be Aquaman getting pissed off enough to feed you, while screaming after being stabbed repeated, to a school of great white shark and/or a pack of Killer Whales - again, LOOPHOLE!!! Because Aquaman doesn't do the final blow.)
I'd still say the point about technology you can be smashed into in the game should put the Batcave automatically in the list anyway. Seriously, can you imagine how much Bruce Wayne would charge someone for wrecking his Batcave? I'm not even sure Superman would be paid enough as an evil dictator of the world to ever be able to him back for that! If you think stepping on a logo is bad - (for any superhero/character that walks/runs instead of flies), imagine stepping on about 150 computer bits on the ground after being smashed into that exact computer. Even with the "Happy Pill", I'm sure that, at least, Cheetah and the Joker had foot massages afterwards because of how much that must have hurt.
Guys i have to congratulate you for the most accurate prononciation of "Die Zauberflöte" i've ever heard from a native english speaker so far :D thumbsup ^^
The Clock Tower in Castlevania Judgement. Not just Dracula's castle, but the single most hazardous part of it! You're at much greater risk of falling off the turning gears to your death than you are of losing to your enemy, and your attacks can 'accidentally' destroy the gears too. Any of the F-Zero stages in Smash Bros. Mario Kart had you fighting in the middle of a race track. Poke Floats had you fighting on a sequence of precarious floating platforms way up in the sky. Mute City, Port Town and Big Blue give you both combined. Amazingly, none of the drivers ever take issue with you using their cars as stepping stones when they're trying to race.
Two words: Big Blue Sure the soundtrack is catchy, but in order to survive SSB: Melee's F-Zero level and an all out brawl, you'll have to dodge punches and watch your footing to avoid falling off the vehicles going at mach speeds. You know an arena like this is too dangerous to fight in when the safer alternative would be to battle in Dracula's Castle. At least there you can see Death coming for you...
The final stage in Virtua Fighter 2. It’s completely underwater - you even move slowly - you’re wearing no breathing equipment and no explanations were ever given.
Someone at the channel is a fighting game fan ^^ I would also add the Pokemon League stage from the Smash series. Or to have some different games, on the roof of an aerial monorail in Blazblue Chronophantasma or the Scramble Stage from DOA5, a construction site where you can fall several floors after hitting some steel beams and on top of it at the bottom there is a crash involving an oil truck and flames everywhere!
Compared to other Smash stages Dracula's Castle is actually fairly safe. There are at least seven stages that take place on ACTIVE RACE COURSES, multiple that take place in chambers of rising acid or lava, several that take place across across multiple skyscrapers where you have to jump across the gaps between them, a few that take place on the outside of a spaceship participating in a battle, And then there's Poke Floats where you fight across what are presumably multiple lost parade balloons floating above the clouds in a game where most of the characters have attacks that can pop balloons and your only way to win is by knocking your opponent out of the ring likely killing them.
Actually surprised that there wasn't a Ring Out in that SCV footage. Seems like a missed opportunity -- though I do appreciate Andy's "No, don't get IN the boat". xD
Pretty sure 80% of Smash stages are horrible places to fight. Who arranges a fighting tournament in a sea of lava with massive tidal ranges and volcanic tsunamis?
Near the biscuit jar... Could you imagine the suspense at someone fighting and then knocking over the biscuits and breaking them all?... The horror... THE HORROR!
What about the airplane from PlayStation Allstars: Battle Royale? It's got to be rocky inside, and it's a miracle anyone's still hanging on when the hangar door opens, where everyone is above the clouds, with Bioshock Infinite's Columbia in the distance.
Basically any of the maps in Gang Beasts deserve a spot on this list. On top of a blimp, next to meat grinders, next to incinerators, in the same room as a giant fan, in the room where all the sausages fall on you... I genuinely could go on. Hell Gang Beasts could make an entire list by itself.
A neighboring town (Pittston, PA, USA) has a tomato festival where they do exactly as you described. Well... without the fist fights, though I'm sure some have occurred as well with all the alcohol that flows afterwards.
Other bad places: 1. That airplane stage on Sonic the Fighters (it may has steel bars blocking but you can be realistically knocked off high on the top of an airplane), Street Fighter V and Smash 4. 2. Any stages on the volcanic side like Street Fighter IV and Tekken 7.
The Opera House is a goddamn acid trip, but at the same time I'm surprised you didn't opt for the 'Nightmare Theatre' stage in SIGN. A creepy movie theatre surrounded by screens, a lake of blood, giant nails, and a giant dog toy. Plus somehow you're somehow fighting in the mindscape of a 12-year-old comatose child even if nobody is playing as him.
Mortal Kombat has a lot of dangerous locations for fighting: Neatherrealm, the Pit, the Soulnado, that catacomb full of acid, and even the city when it's overrun with monsters.
I don't know about you Andy, but if I buy a ticket to the opera, I am going to watch it to the completion regardless of the number of fights, box headed people, and creepy statues.
The mummy that Luigi shoots with a plunger pauses until the plunger falls off of his face. This can mean one of two things: 1) The mummy was so confused that it stops for a second, meaning that the mummy isn’t mindless and still has enough brain function for emotions other than hate and hunger, or 2) Mummies, when hit with plungers become immobilized, and Luigi - a genius - knew that. Luigi is just the victim of faulty equipment. In this essay I will
when going up in a space elevator, besides altitude, you also gain rotational speed, which increases centrifugal force, lowering your percieved weight. once above geostationary orbit your apparent weight will become negative, meaning you'd start getting pushed towards the ceiling. having your carriage rotate at that point would be advisable. one of the biggest problems with space elevators, besides a material strong enough for the tether is the fact that the rotational speed you gain when going up comes from the elevator, which means the elevator gets pushed in the opposite direction of the rotation of the earth. this could destabilise the tether if a lot more stuff is going up than is going down. which is very likely, because, besides all the precious metals in asteroids, very little would get send back down
SFV's Skies of Honor stage takes your Bullet Train idea and brings it to the most logically insane conclusion. Your characters are fighting atop a plane, while the plane is airborne. It's so bad, it's banned from competitive play and has caused seizures.
Two stages from Darkstalkers come to mind. One was literally the side of a building and one was a giant alien baby that freaks out any time a hit is made.
My suggestion may not be as bad as fighting in Hell, but it's pretty close. In Def Jam: Fight for NY, the main antagonist Crow, after you defeat enough of his fighters, kidnaps your girlfriend and tries to get you to join his side by threatening to kill her if you don't. When you finally catch up to one of his lackeys, Sticky Fingers, inside a tire factory, he's got your girlfriend tied to a chair with her mouth taped shut and is pouring gasoline on the floor. After he does so, all while smack-talking you, he uses his lighter to set the room on fire, creating a literal ring of fire around you both. After doing so, he shouts, "NOW IT'S JUST YOU AND ME!!" So yeah, you're fighting Sticky Fingers in the middle of a burning tire factory inside of a literal ring of fire, all while your girlfriend is tied to a chair also in that same building. It's terrifying!
The "City in Chaos" stage from Street Fighter V has the feature that if you KO your opponent off the right side of the stage, they get smashed through a plate-glass window into a bank in the middle of being robbed. This is a terrible place to fight not because there are men with guns in the immediate area (these are Street Fighter competitors; Zangief could stop a bullet with a flex of his pecs), but because the stage for the next round is now littered with broken glass and a lot of fighters go barefoot.
Gang Beasts had us fighting atop moving vans speeding down the motorway, window cleaner scaffolding on a building, a buoy in the middle of the ocean, and atop a blimp. Basically, the entire game is about fighting in locations where you should never be in the first place.
Honestly though, if your space elevator doesn't have walls strong enough to withstand the force of a 300 pound pro-wrestler, you're probably doing something wrong.
Ayan Haider right, space debris moves very fast and with a lot of force, enough to rupture a space suit.
Benjamin Williams for cost cutting purposes they outsourced a lot of the work to one of them countries where the labour is cheap. So it’s quite possible swinging wrestlers or bears around inside it is not advisable.
@@SgtSupaman In fairness to Hoy, he was right--the window didn't break when he threw himself against it. It just....popped out of the frame. So he was technically correct!
How true
Judging by the previous castlevania series, that is the famous transylvanian hospitality.
Seems legit
Holy shit, you got a fucking heart from OX!
Dracula: We show hospitality to those who *DON'T* BREAK IN!
Ooh, ooh, I have science trivia! The reason the space elevator flips upside-down halfway through the journey is so it can slow down without turning the ceiling into the floor! (Interior designers generally recommend against that.) And you need to slow down before you hit the top, otherwise bad things will happen to the space elevator and anyone on it.

You are not travelling at orbital speed, but you might be travelling at kilometres per second, otherwise getting all the way to geostationary orbit might take a while... like seriously, it's almost 38000 kilometres straight up to get there.

Yes, since you for any given point of the trip up the elevator (untill the end of it, presumably) have an angular velocity smaller than orbital, and no vector exceeding escape velocity, you would indeed fall back to the earth, if you jumped of the elevator. Eventually, that is, because you do have a significant momentum upwards. So if you slowed down using only earth gravity, you would spend some time experiencing weightlessness. And if you want to slow down faster, which you might want to do, since you are traveling quite fast and deaccelarating naturally could double your travel time, flipping upside down and applying the breaks (or whatever the method of quickened acceleration is chosen) is the way of doing it.
How could you guys forget about Destroyed/Exploding Planet Namek from literally any of the Dragon Ball games... like... the planet is actually on fire and has lava and is crumbling all around you
YES!!! Or that one version of Frieza's space ship where the stage is destructible and you can literally WRECK the ship while fighting on it?
It takes Namek like 8 months to blow up, they have plenty of time. Plus there's the muffin button...
Or West City, where you could actually break people's houses and cars when you're fighting. I'm surprised the Zeni you win afterwards doesn't go towards paying for all the property damage.
you can survive a planet explosion on a cocoon made of muffins. so its okay

Option 1: Get off the ship while you can.
Option 2: It's a merchant ship? Search it for treasure while the owners flee.

Option 2 is for rogues and thieves like me.

"If you or I were to suddenly find ourselves in hell which is to say a literal physical manifestation of the concept of a bad afterlife where the wicked are punished for all eternity" we'd ask to see the boss lady, aka Jane? I'm sure I could trade my likes on all these Oxbox vids for a ticket out of there...
All jokes aside, I doubt Jane is _that_ high in the daemonic bureaucracy. If she was, she wouldn't have time to help OxBox! My personal guess is that she's a middle manager who takes UA-camr form to destress after a long day dealing with misfiled souls and whatnot.
I assume that the ticket out of there would be on the Number Nine Train?
Timothy McLean - unless of course, she is on top of the bureaucracy - there she would have enough time for to do whatever she wants, minus some unavoidable business meetings once in a while...
Speaking of that... isn't she sometimes absent, whith just so whimsical excuses as E3 or other gaming conventions - or actually taking a parable flight sponsored by NASA and the guys behind Mass Effect?...
Sounds awfully suspicios, don't you think?
Robert Nett x
If Jane is the boss of hell, I wouldn't mind hanging out there for eternity
I'm surprised you didn't say for Smash Bros: All of them
Like, you've got 5 or 6 different versions of "fighting on a race track" and the card are all too happy to run you over. You got 3 where super powerful gods show up and they're none too happy. You have a giant city where an unstoppable chimera can eat and kill you instantly. You've got the construction scaffolding that Donkey Kong took Pauline full of fire and barrels. Like, there are a lot of places any other fighting game character would question your sanity. I'm pretty sure Ryu is at this point.
Don't forget the PokeFloats stage, where you're fighting on a bunch of giant balloons. Or the various Star Fox stages, including some where the ships you're on explode from under you.
Inhaled Corn or the one Metroid stage with the giant alien throwing lava at you
what are the exact names of these stages?!
samuel rodriguez Brinstar depths, Brinstar, Rainbow Road, Mute City, MarioKart, Midgar, Umbra clock tower, Spirit Train, Final Destination, Corneria, Venom, Norfair, Port town Areo Drive, Shadow Moses Island, and Garden Of Hope are all stages that have the fighters fighting on a Race track, with lava around, Giant aliens, God’s, Angels, and some Militarized Island with soviets and Giant mechs fighting.
Definitely Star Fox stage ;/
The Devil’s Pit in Tekken 7. You fight in a literal ACTIVE volcano.
Is this Heihachi's favorite volcano for family gatherings?
-plus the intro stage in tekken 7's story mode which just says ring out by volcano, classic family tradition for the micima (oops misspelled that) family
I was going to say that one.
Although smash bros did appear I feel like the Big Blue stage which is literally fighting on the back of incredibly fast race cars is way more dangerous
Dino Dive I agree. It may be one of my favorite stages, but that doesn't change the fact that fighting in Big Blue is like fighting on top of a bullet train traveling at least ten times faster than it's top speed while a formula 1 race was going on directly beneath the suspended tracks.
Other candidates from Smash include race tracks while the race is in motion which is a recurring motif (Big Blue is an unusual example in that you're on the cars rather than having to dodge the cars as they go past you), two biplanes that are in flight, a cave in an alien planet which half fills with acid periodically (Actually half the Metroid stages are really bad ideas - lots of acid floods, giant monsters spinning the stage, tidal waves of lava, that sort of thing), the backs of pokemon shaped blimps.
...And every single Star Fox stage, which all seem to take place either on the hull of the Great Fox, always while it's in flight, sometimes while it's in space, or on various other space craft. Sometimes while they're in space.
I'd like to add an additional candidate: PokeFloats. Why are you fighting on Parade inflatables? No idea, but it can not be easy to stay balanced on those things.
Dino Dive that's what I said. Big Blue.
And what about Brinstar Depths? Giant monster attacking and turning the stage upside down of a pit of acid/lava?
I'm a simple dude.
I see Luigi's disembodied soul, *I click.*
Wolfiyee hwat
Wolfiyee Now Kellam has taken Luigi's place as Nintendo's resident butt monkey. Sakurai, please restore the status quo, make Kellam DLC in Fire Emblem Awakening.
Not going to mention any of the Star Fox stages in Smash, in which you fight on top of some sort of plane, which may or may not be in space
Quote Slippy: "Shouldn't we be more worried about Fox? He's out there without any air!"
How could they fight at a time like this?!
-Peppy hare
Tantam Sooksuptavon no he would tell Fox to do a barrel roll. Geez obviously not a real Starfox fan.
Sarcasm was used in this comment.
You would have thought Captain America of all people knew the perils of having a fight on a train. I mean it worked out so well for Bucky.
If you squint you can see a dark soulful grimace on his face.
Boxhead opera sounds like both the name of a band and something I now feel the need to experience.
l0stndamned that sounds strangely awesome :D Sort of like a metal band or something :D but then again metal bands can be called anything. There actually is one that's called "We butter our bread with butter" xD
Love how you chose the two characters with the whitest outfits, just to prove the tomato point xD
But personally I think the house ruined by a volcanic eruption, in the same game, is worse. The house is on fire, molten stone are still falling down from the sky and IF you manage to hit the right spot on the floor you'll fall through to the ground, which is also on fire
8:07 and the fact that it would be hard to tell if you have blood on you
Take it from me. You only get covered in blood so many times before you just stop caring and change all your wardrobe to red. I used to wear White. White! I never got any time to do anything but clean the blood off it! But now i wear red, much easier. Barely even need to bother cleaning it afterwards.
Kharn The Betrayer What about when it dries out and limits your movement and when it starts to go brown
You just move a bit and shake it off.
It's better with proper armour on. In clothes they just get all heavy and sticky and not nice. But with armour, it only builds up on the flat parts, the joints will naturally keep most of the blood off by moving around during the fight. Then, since it's read, all you really need to do is pour a bucket of water on your head to get the worst of it off, rather than having to scrub for hours to get the red out of it.
Worst thing is when you get your weapon too covered in blood. Chunks of flesh and hair clogging up the weapon until it's just a club
@@Canadian_Zac true besides just make sure you're fighting in the rain and it'll be fine
Nice pronunciation of "Die Zauberflöte", Andy. Really, I once heard someone trying to explain the Mozart-easter egg on that one Overwatch map and almost strangulating himself with his own tongue.
yeah.. its rare, but andy is british..
Usually americans are the only one too lazy to give a fuck to look up and then to try too do a bit of correct pronunciation.
but this..? compared to the usual fare is..

A lethe ia I at least try and I have gotten good enough to semi-accurately say a word I have never seen before 45% of the time.
When you say a ship is "about 10 minutes away from being something that gets explored by a Discovery Channel mini-sub in 400 years' time," doesn't that mean it's already in a state of being something that gets explored by a Discovery Channel mini-sub in 400 years' time? I think the remains of the fighters would only add to the interest of the piece rather than the general content of the article.
In some of the DBZ games you can actually fight INSIDE series villain Majin Buu. This means Buu just had a Super Saiyan buffet! Stick of Truth is not exactly a fighting game, but you do fight inside Mr. Slave’s butt!
My honorable mentions:
1) Soul Calibur 3 - Fuji Lava Bed: seriously, a cruise in the caldera of Mt. Fuji on a thin rock sheet floating on, well, lava?
2) Darkstalkers 3 - On the Side of a Skyscraper: gravity sure has been defied there...
3) Super Smash Bros. Melee - Lylat Cruise (on the wings of a spacecraft during a space battle), Big Blue (on the track of a F-Zero Grand Prix). Melee has a lot of dangerous examples, yes :')
As a side note... ehm... in the fighting game I'm developing, there is a falling elevator, the roof of a high speed train, aaaand a villa on fire. I think I should have got the safety clearance before implementing them :')
Is that a blue spiky haired werewolf? Are you sure that isn't Sonic?
That's funny.
I am no expert and this is just a guess but the opera seems a bit more ‘Faust’ than ‘Carmen’.
I think it might be more because of how surreal Carmen is
Also add the fact that one of the character in the game series is Faust and he actually have a giant paper bag (similar to the boxes in the stage) on his head...

To be fair, that wrestler will be _weightless_ in space. So I'm sure that means the elevator will be fine! Right guys? What's that siren for?
Well, that's the joke.
Sable, it's a joke, and a joke made at the popular misconception. I'm counting on people being intelligent enough to understand that.
That surrealist opera house from Guilty Gear Xrd looks like it came out of either a walkthrough haunted house attraction, a Batman Arkham series video game, A Tim Burton Film Project, or literally Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated (That pretty interesting Scooby Doo cartoon made in 2010 that you should watch.).
No Inside Majin Buu from DBZ Budokai 3? If you win, you're digested, if you lose, you're digested, if you win and escape, congrats! Buu just absorbed the person you were fightings strength, and is stronger than them. Good luck!
OOOH!! that is a REALLY good one!
Soulcalibur 4 Ice Coffin of the Sleeping Ancient.
Nearly all the characters in game are half-naked or cover in metal. And that an ice stage.
And if they don't die from hypothermia, it's probably an evil character.
The tomato festival would be the only one to give you a dry cleaning bill? I'm pretty sure if I ended up in Dracula's castle and came across Dracula, werewolves and Death I'd need to have my trousers cleaned.
Will the stains be brown or red? Lol.
@@Patricio4Christ Both
There's the aptly named Tower of Arrogance in DarkStalkers 3. Gravity has taken a 90 degree turn, and you're fighting on the side of the building. As there's at least one normal human muggle character in said game, we can confirm it isn't the monster characters changing their own gravity.
There's windows you could fall through, if it were slightly more realistic, and helicopters hovering below. If gravity were to correct itself, the fighters could have an unpleasant encounter with those spinning propellers. Thinking you could survive a fight on the vertical side of a building should show why it's called the Tower of Arrogance.
Another Soul Calibur favorite: the Phantom Pavilion. Because seesawing in a giant metal cage before falling into a fiery pit is always how I've wanted to go out.
Ah yes, that was a classic example of how Soul Calibur stages are more about the stage being dangerous than sane.
I would have figured the obvious Tekken inclusion would be the ice floe in Tekken 5. It's in the arctic, so it's freezing cold (and many of the fighters are shirtless to boot). It's ice, so the footing is lousy, and if you're fighting as or against someone heavy, you're in constant fear of them smashing right through it. And to top it all off, your only spectators are a bunch of uninterested penguins, and, more likely than not, a boat full of Green Peace protestors that will hound you for the rest of you or your opponent stumbles over the (invisible) line and into the "audience."
Can I just say this is the only list video channel on UA-cam that I don't hate? You guys are great, keep up the good work!
There's Atlantis in Injustice 2, there's a literally sea monster waiting to just chomp you to bits.
I would also suggest Tekken again with their latest game in which you fight inside an active volcano.
Also Bayo´s stage in Super Smash Bros where you fight on top of a broken clock tower that hurtles towards the ground down an impssibly deep cliff.
Guilty gear:
May's flying Canon boat
A literal graveyard
A secret lab with stuff
Thanks for the clarification of hell, Andy. Up until your explanation, I thought you meant Hell in Norway. (It's a real place. Look it up)
There's also Hell Michigan
Hell, Norway I've heard is very nice. Friendly people, good food. I'd love to go to that Hell
In Samurai Showdown V there's a hell stage as well, a pile of corpses and a pool of blood are right in the center of the stage and the theme music is freaking disturbing
Why should we fight, when we can just hug our problems away. When hugging means a nuclear explosion.
"I want to cut you--I mean HUG you. Hugging is what I meant."
Or tea?
*hug*
The single worst fighting spot:
School. What was an even(ish) fight quickly becomes a bloody popularity contest, teachers usually intervene before you can beat your opponent into submission, ugly background, just all around bad fighting spot
"Frankensteins"
Just to be pedantic: Frankenstein was the guy who MADE the monster. It's actually called "Frankenstein's Monster"
undertakernumberone1 Not in my canon
xkcd.com/1589/
Andy was probably refering to xkcd's Frankenstein Monster.
xkcd.com/1589/
THANK YOU! I was just about to respond to this: the monster himself takes on the name of his creator.
plot twist, the creator is the monster.
The correct terminology for several Frankenstein's is in fact a bolt-load.
There's some venues in Def Jam FFNY where you fight in a subway station, an energy power plant and a burning building.
These fighting characters seem to have made far safer choices, in most other games the protagonists at some point find themselves in a fight on the outside of planes, trains, on top of road vehicles, on a bunch of floating platforms they have to jump between (which may even crumble and fall), in buildings/tombs that are collapsing or even falling in the air. Or if you're someone like Bayonetta who seems to like mixing things up, falling in the air on platforms!
Getting in a gunfight outside of a barn is a bad idea, as it usually results in you being horribly outnumbered with no cover.
What about the pit in mortal Kombat Armageddon. The stage is literally falling apart.
Yeah MK and it's stage fatalities have so many wonderfully weird ways to die.
Most stages from MK are very dangerous even if you are just walking alone
I’ve got to say Tekken 7’s finale of the Mishima blood feud picked the most over the top venue imaginable.
I’m just glad there weren’t any spectators for the father son climactic punch up inside an active volcano.
Bar Akuma who was clearly jealous that someone might have a more extreme choice of local than he did on their CV so he sticks around to play the winner at the end.
In all honesty Street Fighter X Tekken itself, may be the worst place to have a fight in fighting game history. We're talking about a game which sold and reviewed so poorly, that the sequel which would have come from namco bandai was cancelled.
I know nothing except why does guile look so bad
The Mushroom Army has suffered a great loss... One minute of silence for the Mushroom Kingdom's greatest assassin; Sniper Luigi.
If #1 isn't Janes back yard imma be really disapointed. The smiting Jane would do upon us from ruining her bed of roses is unfathomable.....
Also we could dent her world destroying lasr canon thingy, so there's that as well.....
but I thought that the huge metal canon in her space pokemon gym was the earth ending laser canon?!?! also Jane has roses in her back yard???
Of course she has roses. Just don't touch them. They're very poisonous.
She also has a World Ending Cannon in progress in her basement. She's gotta have backups just in case.
I believe they might also be venomous. I'm not sure if she's completed her genetic splicing yet.
Of course she grows Roses, where did you think Ellen came from?
She was a mistake. Ellen has been trying to correct her for years. She was supposed to be evil. But she came out too small and good.
The exasperation in Andy's voice as he tells off Spiderman is pure magic.
There are plenty of stages from Smash that could have been picked over Dracula's Castle. Like... at least 95% of them. There are a lot of terrible places in Smash games to have fights in. Pretty much any StarFox stage, any stage based off of a racing game, New Pork City where a giant monster can one shot you, Bayonetta's stage where you're fighting on top of a clock's face, Great Cave Offensive which is filled with lava that can one shot you if you suffered enough damage beforehand, Shadow Moses Island where a giant mechanic monster bursts through the background and could easily stomp on any of the fighters, any of the Metroid stages that fill with lava or the one where Kraid spins the entire stage as you fight atop it... bottom line is, Smash stages are really terrible places to pick a fight in.
As a Brit, you should know that Frankenstein is the doctor, not the monster... for shame
What about that small wooden dingy in the amazon river in dead or alive five that is in a route directly on a waterfall
New from super smash bros
Sephiroth's stage, which is basically an exploding planet
What about the incredibly shoddy oil rig in DOA 5 that is always exploding?
Most DOA levels, like the oil rig or on top of a skyscraper in pouring rain.
Isn't there a stage in DOA5 that is a literal war zone? That seems like a pretty terrible place to be fighting.
Craig B And next to a monorail line too. Bet the DOA fighters didn't think about that before knocking each other into the neon sign on the roof, causing it to fall onto the track and derailing an oncoming train, potentially killing everyone on board.
Joseph Brooks
You have a ninja that can throw a fire ball in a oil rig then something goes boom or a small wooden dingy in the amazon river xd
I’m unaware what a sexy pottery wheel is but Luigi is going there after death.
Jurassic Research Facility from Ultra Street Fighter 4. Sure! Let's hold a Tournament at the Street Fighter equivalent of Jurassic Park!
I'm just proud of Andy for pronouncing Die Zauberflöte correctly. This is what thorough research looks like
Some maps from COD
A nuked city
Ann aquarium
A scaled up city
A city being engulfed by lava
Ayy Lmao or a simulation cul de sac about to be nuked...aka nuke town.
technically that's an FPs not a fighting game.
Also who is Ann Aquarium?
With how much Andy loves fighting games, I can't wait to see him of all people holding the EGX OXBoxtra showdown. Wonder what kind of background will that one have, hmm
Everywhere is a bad place to fight, instead you should be passive aggressive towards people
What about Killer Instinct roof stage?
Its most likely a 20 story building so one slip and it'll be a long way down.
Fighting Stages are honestly the best part in fighting games, mostly because the have little to no reason why are they fighting their like inside a mall with people not interrupting or close to a volcano by hot lava. Smash Bros series has one of the better stages since they are platforms and most likely to get K.O by hazards plus are way more unique than most fighting games except MUGEN.
In your opinion.
Exactly, what's the fun in fighting in a logical place like an arena or dojo when you could be fighting on top of an alien pyramid, in space, a disco, a zoo or on top of the wrinkly head of a 50 meter large pug?
@@blondbraid7986 That is what I like fighting games for their stages besides the characters. The one that has gotten good of that is SF5 fighting in the beach while people are watching the fight.
Fetus of God from the dark stalkers games is something I would never want to be close to, let alone spend multiple rounds fighting in close vicinity to
To bad this is a beat em up list, otherwise I would say the worst place to have any kind of fight or activity is the mind of other people.
Like in Psychonauts, and my mind would be the worst of the worst. Just saying. Don't have battles in other people's heads.
Sableagle yeah the name Yuri also jumps to my mind..
Not to worry you, but having battles inside other peoples heads is the basic premise of the Persona series.
I knew that i missed a series there -_- that's embarrassing considering that i love the games and the animes ..ugh getting old sucks.
08:20 You think Capcom would learn after that but no in Street fighter Alpha 3, Guile’s stage involves him riding a train as well.
Also Birdie’s Street Fighter Alpha 2 Stage is a men’s restroom.
Dragon ball fighterZ destroyed planet namek
This and almost every stage in MK are the worst places to fight or even getting close.
Well... I'm surprised you didn't mention Pokken Tournament and fighting inside an active volcano. Or worse, a haunted mansion during a halloween party. Or another world forged by basically an evil god.
Okay, outsidexbox, I'm officially disappointed because you forgot these games and stages for this list:
1) Luigi's Mansion in Super Smash Bros;
2) literally the Bat-Cave in Injustice 2 (partially because you may land on the Batwing or other painful to land on tech, but more so because if Batman catches you, he'd probably feed you to Killer Croc, who is hiding in the nearby sewer system - it won't even technically break Batman's one rule because Killer Croc would technically be the murderer, so LOOPHOLE!!!!);
3) the Entire Bowser's Castle Stage for Super Smash Bros (pretty much copy, paste every point about Hell);
4) the final Stage in Marvel vs. Capcom (I get that you have to defeat the bad alien, but why do it alien's own terms and probably his own homeworld? Why not make a rocket with a nuke on it and launch it into outer space to murder the alien remotely? If Tony Stark can make the entire Iron Man suit, I'm pretty sure he could a murder rocket/nuke combination like I'm suggesting!);
And 5) literally under the Sea in Aquaman's throne room, again from Injustice 2 - (basically substitute the idea of Batman feeding you to Killer Croc instead having it be Aquaman getting pissed off enough to feed you, while screaming after being stabbed repeated, to a school of great white shark and/or a pack of Killer Whales - again, LOOPHOLE!!! Because Aquaman doesn't do the final blow.)
Batcave was on the longlist, actually, because of it being in a sewer
I'd still say the point about technology you can be smashed into in the game should put the Batcave automatically in the list anyway. Seriously, can you imagine how much Bruce Wayne would charge someone for wrecking his Batcave? I'm not even sure Superman would be paid enough as an evil dictator of the world to ever be able to him back for that!
If you think stepping on a logo is bad - (for any superhero/character that walks/runs instead of flies), imagine stepping on about 150 computer bits on the ground after being smashed into that exact computer. Even with the "Happy Pill", I'm sure that, at least, Cheetah and the Joker had foot massages afterwards because of how much that must have hurt.
Uh... Smash has never had a Bowser's Castle stage.
At least not in any official game.
I'm pretty sure they did in the one that also has Sonic the Hedgehog as a character.
There are three existing games with Sonic as a character and one upcoming
None of them have a Bowser's Castle stage.
Guys i have to congratulate you for the most accurate prononciation of "Die Zauberflöte" i've ever heard from a native english speaker so far :D thumbsup ^^
I thought u got facts right Frankenstein is the doctor not the monster
🙄
outsidexbox If you’ve read the book, you know Frankenstein wasn’t the monster. If you’ve understood the book, you know that he was.
j0njn or watch Kenneth Branner mocie
j0njn - Also pointing out if you’ve read the book you know that’s not what he looks like... but that’s a small thing, so moving on...
Ah but the creation considers himself the doctor's son so he would have thes same surname
The Clock Tower in Castlevania Judgement. Not just Dracula's castle, but the single most hazardous part of it! You're at much greater risk of falling off the turning gears to your death than you are of losing to your enemy, and your attacks can 'accidentally' destroy the gears too.
Any of the F-Zero stages in Smash Bros. Mario Kart had you fighting in the middle of a race track. Poke Floats had you fighting on a sequence of precarious floating platforms way up in the sky. Mute City, Port Town and Big Blue give you both combined. Amazingly, none of the drivers ever take issue with you using their cars as stepping stones when they're trying to race.
LAST!
Oh wait...
Two words: Big Blue
Sure the soundtrack is catchy, but in order to survive SSB: Melee's F-Zero level and an all out brawl, you'll have to dodge punches and watch your footing to avoid falling off the vehicles going at mach speeds. You know an arena like this is too dangerous to fight in when the safer alternative would be to battle in Dracula's Castle. At least there you can see Death coming for you...
FIGHT ME 1V1 ON RUST.
No escape
The final stage in Virtua Fighter 2. It’s completely underwater - you even move slowly - you’re wearing no breathing equipment and no explanations were ever given.
Someone at the channel is a fighting game fan ^^
I would also add the Pokemon League stage from the Smash series. Or to have some different games, on the roof of an aerial monorail in Blazblue Chronophantasma or the Scramble Stage from DOA5, a construction site where you can fall several floors after hitting some steel beams and on top of it at the bottom there is a crash involving an oil truck and flames everywhere!
You know it's gonna be a great video when literal Hell is only number 2 on the list
Compared to other Smash stages Dracula's Castle is actually fairly safe. There are at least seven stages that take place on ACTIVE RACE COURSES, multiple that take place in chambers of rising acid or lava, several that take place across across multiple skyscrapers where you have to jump across the gaps between them, a few that take place on the outside of a spaceship participating in a battle, And then there's Poke Floats where you fight across what are presumably multiple lost parade balloons floating above the clouds in a game where most of the characters have attacks that can pop balloons and your only way to win is by knocking your opponent out of the ring likely killing them.
Actually surprised that there wasn't a Ring Out in that SCV footage.
Seems like a missed opportunity -- though I do appreciate Andy's "No, don't get IN the boat". xD
Pretty sure 80% of Smash stages are horrible places to fight. Who arranges a fighting tournament in a sea of lava with massive tidal ranges and volcanic tsunamis?
Near the biscuit jar...
Could you imagine the suspense at someone fighting and then knocking over the biscuits and breaking them all?... The horror... THE HORROR!
What about the airplane from PlayStation Allstars: Battle Royale? It's got to be rocky inside, and it's a miracle anyone's still hanging on when the hangar door opens, where everyone is above the clouds, with Bioshock Infinite's Columbia in the distance.
Basically any of the maps in Gang Beasts deserve a spot on this list. On top of a blimp, next to meat grinders, next to incinerators, in the same room as a giant fan, in the room where all the sausages fall on you...
I genuinely could go on. Hell Gang Beasts could make an entire list by itself.
Love this series! Please upload more of these :)
A neighboring town (Pittston, PA, USA) has a tomato festival where they do exactly as you described. Well... without the fist fights, though I'm sure some have occurred as well with all the alcohol that flows afterwards.
Other bad places:
1. That airplane stage on Sonic the Fighters (it may has steel bars blocking but you can be realistically knocked off high on the top of an airplane), Street Fighter V and Smash 4.
2. Any stages on the volcanic side like Street Fighter IV and Tekken 7.
The Opera House is a goddamn acid trip, but at the same time I'm surprised you didn't opt for the 'Nightmare Theatre' stage in SIGN. A creepy movie theatre surrounded by screens, a lake of blood, giant nails, and a giant dog toy. Plus somehow you're somehow fighting in the mindscape of a 12-year-old comatose child even if nobody is playing as him.
Mortal Kombat has a lot of dangerous locations for fighting: Neatherrealm, the Pit, the Soulnado, that catacomb full of acid, and even the city when it's overrun with monsters.
I don't know about you Andy, but if I buy a ticket to the opera, I am going to watch it to the completion regardless of the number of fights, box headed people, and creepy statues.
Come on; we already learned from Archer that fighting on top of a train, as cool as it sounds, is just the worst.
The mummy that Luigi shoots with a plunger pauses until the plunger falls off of his face. This can mean one of two things:
1) The mummy was so confused that it stops for a second, meaning that the mummy isn’t mindless and still has enough brain function for emotions other than hate and hunger, or
2) Mummies, when hit with plungers become immobilized, and Luigi - a genius - knew that. Luigi is just the victim of faulty equipment.
In this essay I will
when going up in a space elevator, besides altitude, you also gain rotational speed, which increases centrifugal force, lowering your percieved weight. once above geostationary orbit your apparent weight will become negative, meaning you'd start getting pushed towards the ceiling. having your carriage rotate at that point would be advisable. one of the biggest problems with space elevators, besides a material strong enough for the tether is the fact that the rotational speed you gain when going up comes from the elevator, which means the elevator gets pushed in the opposite direction of the rotation of the earth. this could destabilise the tether if a lot more stuff is going up than is going down. which is very likely, because, besides all the precious metals in asteroids, very little would get send back down
SFV's Skies of Honor stage takes your Bullet Train idea and brings it to the most logically insane conclusion. Your characters are fighting atop a plane, while the plane is airborne. It's so bad, it's banned from competitive play and has caused seizures.
Two stages from Darkstalkers come to mind. One was literally the side of a building and one was a giant alien baby that freaks out any time a hit is made.
Double Dragon (Neo Geo) - You fight on the wings of an old-fashioned biplane while it flies through a canyon.
My suggestion may not be as bad as fighting in Hell, but it's pretty close. In Def Jam: Fight for NY, the main antagonist Crow, after you defeat enough of his fighters, kidnaps your girlfriend and tries to get you to join his side by threatening to kill her if you don't. When you finally catch up to one of his lackeys, Sticky Fingers, inside a tire factory, he's got your girlfriend tied to a chair with her mouth taped shut and is pouring gasoline on the floor. After he does so, all while smack-talking you, he uses his lighter to set the room on fire, creating a literal ring of fire around you both. After doing so, he shouts, "NOW IT'S JUST YOU AND ME!!"
So yeah, you're fighting Sticky Fingers in the middle of a burning tire factory inside of a literal ring of fire, all while your girlfriend is tied to a chair also in that same building. It's terrifying!
The "City in Chaos" stage from Street Fighter V has the feature that if you KO your opponent off the right side of the stage, they get smashed through a plate-glass window into a bank in the middle of being robbed. This is a terrible place to fight not because there are men with guns in the immediate area (these are Street Fighter competitors; Zangief could stop a bullet with a flex of his pecs), but because the stage for the next round is now littered with broken glass and a lot of fighters go barefoot.

Gang Beasts had us fighting atop moving vans speeding down the motorway, window cleaner scaffolding on a building, a buoy in the middle of the ocean, and atop a blimp. Basically, the entire game is about fighting in locations where you should never be in the first place.
