I heard someone actually did this to space moves and I just sort of felt that was silly since in the heat of the moment how much are you staring at squares on the fuckin ground

Aren't most of these PS4s volunteered as well? Like I can't imagine Sony gave them enough PS4s for fuckin 5000 people's worth of stations, so some are gonna have to be volunteered. So have fun to those schmucks who get stuck with the PS4s that random to Beach stage and having to reselect stages.

Except for Bonne Wonderland, I couldn't describe a single one of those stages, and my only exposure to uvmc3 is from tournament streams. Training stage is a massive problem and I couldn't be happier that the fucker is banned. Watching the same stage for 3 consecutive hours is Real Bad.

As has been stated previously, the functional reason for that is because Bonne Wonderland and the Training Stage were the only ones in the MvC3 series with little to no frameskip or stutter when certain things happened in the background. I'm sorry you got bored seeing the same background time after time (although honestly you should be watching the actual fight instead), but a better gameplay experience is probably just a little bit more important than a slightly improved visual experience when it comes to the actual competitors' feelings with money on the line.

while that's true on ps3 it's not on 360
the actual reason is because it's easiest to see people/effects on those stages and it's one thing over from the default random select
people don't random select most of the time bc they don't want to get shield helicarrier or shadowlands but otherwise it's whatever
some folks have never played enough on other stages so they don't know where the corners are though and that's always hilarious to encounter

but yeah, when it comes to money being on the line dudes will always pick danger room, training room or bonne wonderland just b/c of them having the most clear visibility alongside being next to the stage select default choice

dark purple magneto on shadowlands is actually impossible to see at high speeds

like 90% of his body is almost the exact same color as the background

it's somehow worse than black colors on shield helicarrier

I needed to set up playdates to play Xrd so other than playing for a couple of hours with a friend I barely played it too. MKX I also played less than I would've liked but that's because I bought the PC version and ugh.

I'm not even ashamed to say I put quite a bit of time on that game's SP poo poo, I wish you unlocked colors in SFV thru the Crypt or Challenge Towers, really. I mostly meant online time tho.

I think it kinda goes without saying that having backgrounds that kill game performance isn't really OK. We all know that but poo poo happens and if I'm playing in a tournament I'm not gonna pick the stage where that poo poo has even a chance of happening.

Training stage would be less of an issue if SF5 allowed you to turn on character themes in local vs matches. Have they patched that in yet?
