A typical Russian… factory?

Mysterious audience seats

The Ryuu stage and other similar things look confusing when you take a closer look.
A stage built on the castle roof and the theme of wind, forest, fire, and mountain.

I like looking at the backgrounds in 2D fighting games.

It’s faster to look for the parts of Street Fighter 2 that aren’t strange.

USSR

I heard it’s inspired by a movie.

At that time, the Soviet Union was a strong country in heavy industries like steel, so it might feel like labor was part of it.

Too dangerous

The same movie Hard Time’s Ken Stage

A country where watching Zangief get beaten down just by the vertical big K becomes entertainment.

For now, a castle.

Zangief was really based on a strong professional wrestler from the Soviet Union back then.

Speaking of which, there was a place in Street Fighter IV where you fight in a distillery, but whose stage is it?

Fighting in a public bath with a hard floor is not sane.

The Cammy stage is more insane.
Why are they fighting in such a narrow place?

The location of the Ryu Stage is supposedly somewhere deep in the mountains of Kansai, but the castle visible in the background is also fictional…

The early days of fighting games were also fun for searching for original sources.

Is Chun-Li’s or Blanka’s stage relatively decent?

Zangi is Karelin, right?
Right now I’m extremely muscular, but at the time of 2, I was quite slim.

Unexpectedly, Guile and the Four Kings are decent.

Chun-Li is choking a bicycle and a bird, which is a bit…

An old lady angry over a broken Buddha statue, and a surprisingly relaxed Vega stage for a final boss level.

I don’t really understand where this floor is placed and what kind of situation it is…

In Street 3, the battle stage is inherited on top of the castle wall as well.

The Vega stage clearly had a specific temple as its original inspiration, right?

It is admirable that it’s not just Japan being silly.

Blanca is more absurd in person than on stage…

Don’t let the general audience be in the final boss stage of the evil organization.
Sagat feels more like the final boss stage.

The Suzaku Castle looks like it’s under renovation with scaffolding when seen in Smash Bros.
Don’t fight in a place like that? Yeah…

In the early 1990s in China, bicycles were part of daily life, with people fighting in the streets and the police not coming, reflecting the state of public safety.

The straight road of the Cammy stage is
It feels like a rebellion against the fact that Fatal Fury is doing a line fighting game.
After that, stage gimmicks like falling stages will also appear in DOA.

The stage with Chun-Li and Blanka feels dangerous as it resembles an illegal underground match that is being publicly watched by onlookers.

In the story of Street Fighter 2, since it’s a street fighting tournament, I think that in some cases it could be completely legal.

It’s like saying the influence of the movie is huge, or rather it’s just that.

There will be things like the podium.

Well, in this era, it’s probably normal to just take things straight from materials that seem relevant.

“Bison is just like Mike Tyson in Las Vegas.”

I think the feeling of the street fight in the thread image is among the top levels, competing for number one or two.

Wasn’t the organizer Vega originally in a position being pursued by Chun-Li from Interpol?

I just noticed that there are Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain on the left and right.
