Current Events > Why are the stages in Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike so bad compared to 2nd Impact

(+) Yeah! (+)

and New Generation.

Seriously >_> The UI is also a downgrade too. I know everyone loves having a ****-on for Third Strike, but the aesthetics suck compared to the previous versions.

Change my mind.

No, I don't think I will

Good. I'm glad you agree

Here's some examples

None of these are in Third Strike, and they look awesome and way better than what it has

Here's Elena's stage

And when you beat round 1, you transition to a completely different part for the rest of the match

Here's Yun having a fun intro that isn't in Third Strike

The character selection screen is way more stylish in the older versions

I mean you are correct. 2nd impact is stylish as hell

Here's Ken getting punched in the balls by his son in 2nd Impact >_>

i liked alpha 3 stages too

3rd strike is a late bloomer

The 2nd Impact endings look better imo. I think the content is different too

The game over screens looked infinitely cooler

Of course I gotta include this gem too >_>

Here's another stage that looks pretty neat, along with the superior 2nd Impact UI

You can see more stages here when it isn't enveloped by the green cloud of a super art >_> Dudley's stage is great

I'm thinking it must be a space issue? Maybe they could only have so much data on the disk?

2 impact has great stages. I wish they could be modded in 3st somehow?

Sean also isn't a joke and Dudley lost a move in strike iirc.

I don't know if I prefer Dan-Sean or OP-Sean.
But a lot of the stages in 2I are a bit distracting, even if they are visually more entertaining.

Like CvS having better presentation than CvS2

Was Yang playable in New Generation and 2nd Impact?

I only ever played 3rd strike, which my friends and I were obsessed with for while.

But man these 2nd impact pics are cool as hell.

Despite it's popularity in fighting tournaments I always thought marvel vs capcom 2 had less effort put into it compared to marvel vs capcom 1. Marvel vs capcom 1 also had the better stages, cool cameo assists from various capcom properties+the great character music themes.

Same. I only played 3rd Strike. And then I dabbled a bit in 2nd Impact and New Generation on Fightcade just for curiosity sake and I was blown away by how much better the presentation is.
