Would be nice, except they saw the list of smash bros stages and picked Big Blue for logic. Willing to support you to see if they do it

[@tjknight]

Nades and C4 at the top with a crouch that completely avoids the spring hazards makes this stage good for Snake...I still hate it though and only discovered this after my buddy (knowing I hate this stage) took me to it like 8+ times

[@zigazav1]

I suggested to them Pokefloats, which is almost as much a terrible stage to fight on as your suggestion 75m. At least for the most part Pokefloats at times gives you plenty of space to fight on. 75m on the other hand, has barely anywhere to stand on except the top, where you are still not safe as DK from Donkey Kong (game) is constantly tossing stuff at you at times.

The "City in Chaos" stage in Street Fighter V starts off regular enough, but if one combatant gets blown through the plate-glass window of the bank on the right side of the stage, the next round takes place in the bank with all that broken glass scattered on the floor.

[@nicholaib1499]

The dead or alive series has quite a few dangerous places to fight... Like an aircraft carrier. Sure you're fenced in. They also have their own dinosaur areas. Then there's a burning forest, in the middle of a massive car accident filled with cars exploding all around you as well as a fuel truck when you hit them. On top of a sky city which at first doesn't seem too dangerous until the building size statue climbs up to where you are and is watching you fight, speaking of which there is also a stage in the middle of a titan attack from attack on titan... And let's not forget the metroid level with Ridley watching the fight while spitting fire balls down on the fighters and is ready to catch a fight when they fall off the stage only to throw them back onto the stage (doa: dimensions for the 3ds).

[@Yoxiv]

Many of the stages from the PS1-era series Battle Arena Toshiden were hardly suitable places to have fights in, what with many of them being either elevated platforms in various locales, or floating over psychedelic voids, like Gaia's stage that was often the final one (unless you were playing on the hardest setting to unlock the true final fight, which was still a high platform that could lead to a terrible fall). Later installments would see the stages get walls to prevent the combatants from falling out, but those games also saw the introduction of fighters who felt like they got lost on their way to a DBZ game with all the fireballs and explosions they were able to fill the arenas with.

[@tiin111]

I always figured the Jurassic Research Station was a reference to Dino Crisis, doesn't make it less of a weird place to start a punch up though

[@wraithcadmus]

@ResidentEvil302 Ricancuban215usa Ah, Dino Crisis 3. A game that was basically Event Horizon versus Aliens with dinosaurs, jetpacks, lasers and it was somehow dull as shit.

If anything that makes it a worse place. Dinosaurs are bad enough but time distortions as well? No thank you.

[@dannyvalido7408]

While PSASBR plane stage is pretty dangerous, there’s also stages where you’re in a war zone which sky rockets into space, you’re in an arena with a bunch of deadly cars and crimson guards, a dojo that turns into a war zone and one of my favorites the realm of hades!

[@Kharnix]

Old Toledo in Soul Calibur 3 might just be the safest one of all the dangerous ones, as you have plenty more stages way more dangerous. Such as a sinking pirate ship during a storm or being literally inside a volcano. You can even hear them melting into nothing when you ring them out, how there's more rounds after that is a real mystery. You'd think they would consider taking their fight elsewhere at that point.

[@enderk9628]

Not going to talk about how in the original infamous you climb up what is literally a skyscraper made of garbage and proceed to then fight a gigantic metal mini-boss, as well as gun-and-explosives-wielding minions, and throughout all of this, the tower still doesn’t fall. It isn’t a fighting game, but still.

[@Cp2020_animations]

I'm rather surprised Andy didn't mention the raptor with the punching gloves on along with the rest of the dinosaurs

[@thedragonknight3600]

I can think of a few more stages. Rivals of Aether, a smash like game, has more than its fair share. Like the seal trapping an unspeakable evil in an infinite abyss, the treetops above a carnivorous forest floor, or best of all, the FLOOR of that forest. In the version with stage hazards, 4 of the 5 platforms are giant flowers that if you stay on them for too long, SNAP SHUT and kill your character outright.

[@sterling7]

How about the circus tent level in Namco's pre-Smash fighter "Outfoxies"? Never let a little thing like elephants, a loose tiger, an excessively grabby trapeze artist and a human cannonball act get in the way of trying to blow up your quarry with a missile launcher...

[@samwamm85]

I remember that in one game you were fighting the dream persona of someone who was sleeping as a character they'd dreamed up. Not like causing a near death experience for the dreamer is gonna cause them to wake up and erase your whole existence. oh wait, that's exactly what happens.

[@lovipoekimo176]

In MK11, they also fought in an arena filled with Dinosaurs. In fact, Kronika even uses multiple Trex as an attack

[@Daniel_Coffman]

In the case of the eyeball train, I'm pretty sure it still would be quite useful for a train to be able to see if there's anything on the track so it can stop. It would have to have good eyesight to be able to see something far ahead so that it can have ample time to stop, though. Trains obviously can't very well stop on a dime, after all.

[@johnoneil9188]

Andy failed to mention the part of the moon fight where suddenly Akuma shows up, tosses Ryu into a portal and dukes it out with Asura in a brawl that actually cracks the moon to pieces.

[@zigazav1]

If you haven't included this one in a past one of these kinds of list, I have a suggestion for a terrible place to fight in within a fighting game: Pokefloats from Super Smash Brothers Melee. You are perhaps several thousand miles above ground, and all you have to stand on is floating things of various Pokemon, that shift around during the fight, forcing you to constantly move to avoid plummeting-down to your death from far above.

Don't forget the Subway Station in Mortal Kombat Armageddon. One wrong move and you're a nice sheet of red paste to oil up the tracks.

[@Jonathon_Hennessey]

In Super Smash Bros a dangerous stage to fight on is Brinstar Depths not only is the platform you're fighting on small and doesn't give you alot of room to maneuver it's also easy to lose your footing and fall off the stage Kraid will also show up periodically and swipe at the stage with his claws causing fighters who were previously safe to potentially fall of the platform and into the pool of acid at the bottom of the stage.

[@JoaoLucasK]

Birdie's stage in Street Fighter Alpha 2, which is literally just a public restroom

[@D0cSwiss]

Since there's more than enough for a part 4, I'd vote for Gehenna from Skullgirls. It's everything you hated from the space fetus from Darkstalkers plus everything you hated from Inside Buu in the DBZ games. It's super creepy and gross, and it's inside Double (I think, it's not super clear. It seemed like it was inside Double when it showed up in Beowulf's story). It's also the only stage that isn't in the random stage rotation, for possibly obvious reasons.

[@Macrochenia]

I don't think that a dinosaur cloning facility is all that bad a place for the Street Fighter gang to fight. If a T-Rex tries to interfere, they'd probably beat it up. It could be a bonus stage: watch as Akuma punches a dinosaur.

[@Zmoney-ep9hh]

The weirdest place to have a fight in (besides being in the gut of someone or something) is the Kytinn Hive from Mortal Kombat 11. If you're afraid of insects, this stage isn't for you

[@marhawkman303]

OOhh.. MK has all sorts of nasty ones... I mean they're called stage "fatalities" for a reason :/

[@DirgeTV]

To be fair, its not a Mortal Kombat unless there is a stage pretty much destined (and even designed) to kill you. Also yeah, People with a phobia of insects should stay from that stage. I'd argue the ultimate nightmare combo is not only being forced to fight there, but then lose to Bug Lady herself (followed by a fatality that somehow manages to be a nightmare fuel combination of The Thing, Alien and Starship Troopers just for maximum night sweats )

[@EinsiJo]

It's not obvious why, but I feel the 'Solar Eclipse' level in Super Street Fighter IV deserves a mention. Why? Because of the three ginormous hippos that show up half way through to spectate. Hippopotamuses are among the most dangerous animals on the planet due to their territoriality, aggressiveness and unpredictability. They kill about 500 people a year. Honestly, knowing this, the fact that these particular hippos look like they're large enough to swallow the fighters whole and how frighteningly close they get, this stage is the only one in the game where I actually feel like the fighters are in actual mortal danger (yes, even counting the construction site level).

[@CasualRemy]

Not only is Iron Horse Iron Terror disturbing, it's also very distracting. I have a hard time focusing on that stage

[@eric_moore-6126]

I'd say Brinstar Depths from Super Smash Bros is pretty bad, considering that a lizard that's probably about 10 times the size of a T-Rex keeps swatting at you and ROTATING THE BATTLEFIELD.

[@crabmastaflash]

what about the library balcony in soul calibur 2? not so much that it's dangerous but it appeared to be near infinite. Tehre's books and shelves literally as far as the eye can see AND when you look down from the balcony you're fighting in, you can't see the ground, it's so far down it's just black. This means the characters not only had to walk what looks like several miles to get to the balcony through the endless library, they also had to climb several miles of stairs to get up there. and the victor will have to make that same trek back through the library again. Surely they could save themselves HOURS of walk time, maybe days, and just have the fight at reception.

[@alxcus2962]

I don't know if you've put this on a list yet, but how about "Reset Bomb Forest" from Smash Bros 4/Ultimate? You start out fighting in the ruins of a castle with what seems to be a WAR in the background. This is bad enough, but then Viridi, who in the Kid Icarus universe is the goddess of nature, detonates a Reset Bomb on the war going on in the background. For those that don't know, a Reset Bomb is like a nuke that, when detonated, makes a huge forest of thorns sprout out of nowhere. Apparently, these thorns will eventually return the blast radius back to its "natural state", which is a jungle so dense, humans can't inhabit it. In Smash, this process is reversed, but you still fight inside the super thorny aftermath of an eco-nuke.

[@BJGvideos]

Smash has a ton of horrible places to fight. On a pier with sharks? Active battlefields on crumbling castles? The origin point of the universe with various gods affecting reality itself around you?

Need I say more? - *The Great Cave Offensive:* A maze lined with spikes and scalding-hot danger zones, with the occasional mine cart careening through. - *Orbital Gate Assault:* Other Star Fox stages often put you on top of a spacecraft. Fine. But here, you're mostly riding MISSILES. - *Port Town Aero Dive:* ...Really, any of the F-Zero stages. - *Summit:* You'd have to be crazy to fight on a mountain top that's due to break off and enter a mad slide into the sea. And that's not accounting for the Balloon Fight fish in that sea... - *Castle Siege:* Not only are we in the middle of a war zone, but the ground keeps breaking and sending us all the way into a magmatic cavern. Yikes. - *Reset Bomb Forest:* Also in the middle of a war zone...and we kinda witness a genocide in the process, if you remember Kid Icarus Uprising. - *Midgar:* Never mind what the summons can do to us - think of the damage that some, like Leviathan and Bahamut ZERO, are visiting upon the people down below!

Maybe a bit abstract, but I've always found it to be not too great of an idea for the Pokémon in Pokkén Tournament to be fighting on the stage called magikarp festival. You're on a boat, on which many fishermen peacefully attempt to catch magikarps, I presume, while you're fighting, shooting out beams of ice, water, shooting arrows and what not. Also, there's a mewtwo frequently causing earthquake, and a goth mewtwo with a tendensy to throw huge energyballs at the planet. Now, many of the stages aren't that populated with actual people, but on this stage, as mentioned, it's a boat, with fishermen and hopefully also a crew.

Ok, so here's a fighting game stage idea that is a horrible idea to fight in. In Marvel Super Heroes, when you get to Wolverine's stage, you fight him on top of a bridge. It seems pretty normal, it overlooks a view, really shouldn't get anyone turning heads. That is until you find out how delicate the damn thing is because once you slam into it enough times, you and your opponent will hold onto your ground as you plummet to a river. And then you continue to duke it out there! And once you defeat your opponent, your character lands on a conveniently placed platform while your opponent plummets to the bottom of a waterfall. Though to be fair, these Marvel characters have canonically survived worse, like can you kill Thanos by throwing him off a cliff without his gauntlet?

And yet its size is its biggest issue, lol.

[@justmindset]

No love for Tower of Arrogance from Darkstalkers? Doesn't get much better than defying gravity on the side of a building.

[@insaincaldo]

If gravity has already opted out, is there really much danger on the side of a building?

[@justmindset]

@@insaincaldo that's a pretty good point lol. Doesn't change the fact that it's cool as hell

[@yaboiramon]

Kinda mad that you guys didn't mention the Kennedy Space Center stage in JoJo all star battle. The stage is tilted on its right which means debris is gonna fall on you.

[@AlfieDeverell]

Cassandra just kept getting wailed on in the soulcalibur section wow

[@MasonCookMrFamous]

So many stages from Smash (Cornaria, Venom, Umbra Clock Tower, Pokefloats, Pilotwings, Reset Bomb Forest, Shadow Moses Island, Lylat Cruise, Northern Cave, and Wrecking Crew just to name a few) could make this list.

Next: 7 Worst Outfits to Have a Fight in, in Fighting Game History

[@Joshua_Shadow_Manriguez]

So to be fair, Most of the Street Fighter and Tekken cast could probably destroy a continent or two if they aren't careful, so a dinosaur or four isn't a big deal. If you want a dangerous place to fight, try an exploding planet like Dying/Exploding Namek in the Dragon Ball Z games. Sure the anime and manga, it doesn't make it any less dangerous, even in the Xenoverse games if you play as aFrieza Race character who if Frieza himself is anything to go by, can breathe in space.

[@MunchKING]

3:00 Not going to lie, I kinda want Sabin to run in and Suplex that train like half way through the fight.

[@marhawkman303]

then beat up Dmitri.

[@Aware_Bear]

So Victor is Frankenstein's monster but he fights with his butt. That actually checks out with goth kids.

[@BenMarcWilliams]

He has a _prehensile_ butt. I don't even know how that works.

[@avrathilelmheath5538]

You mean it *cheeks* out?

[@flamingjaguar3472]

Yeah, these places are bad, but the worst place that even most fighting game characters won't dare fight in...the bathroom. Just imagine what you could catch if you hit the ground or one of the urinals. Ugh.

[@marhawkman303]

have you played Streets of Rage?

[@Mastermind8908]

Also in Iron Horse Iron Terror, when the match is over, the mouth on the side starts wagging its tongue. Depending where your character falls when you lose, doesn't quite look right.

[@eslington]

Skullgirls could have suggestions for Gehenna (Which seems to be inside Double) and Bath of Sekhmet. (Which is literally running with blood.)

[@doctorawesomeness6922]

Def Jam FFNY had crazy venues like a subway station, an energy power plant and a burning building.

[@danielmiller3596]

I’ve BEEN to Vegas. Yes. There ARE sometimes fights in the streets.

[@ryanmills6328]

You should do a similar video on some of the worst places for race tracks, to which I would suggest the volcano/Tartarus from redout 1 & 2.

[@kcollier2192]

One of the levels in Eternal Champions has you fighting at a circus, where the stage fatality has you eaten by a caged lion...

[@NexeL_NKC]

Still no Lylat System from Smash Brawl and onwards? They're LITERALLY IN SPACE WITH NO HELMETS OR SUITS... All except for Samus.

[@gamedifficulty_4230]

* Sad Olimar/Alph noises*

[@GmNdWtchr96]

They actually acknowledge that in one of the stage's Easter Egg dialogues.

[@justicetaylor2695]

That's why I love playing as Samus, she has an excuse to fight anywhere.

[@basementguy7281]

Great vid!!

[@ariel.madrid]

In Soul Calibur 2 there are two stages that are just like 3x3 squared meters area and a sorrounding abyss . Too tiny! In the dungeons and the money pit. A well directed hit or kick means goodbye.
