I like Umihara Kawase's backgrounds a lot. I like the stark low-color art style of this game in general. It really gives the feel of going outside on a cloudy day.

I've always had an affinity for this stage, and I don't really know why.

It's probably a combination of the playing these games when I was pre-school age, and just the fantastic art design throughout the entire game.

Of all the backgrounds in that game you didn't choose anything from the chapel?

When I was a kid and I first saw a Genesis I was blown away. I thought the water in the background of Green Hill and the smoke from the power plants in Scrap Brain were super realistic.

Also Chrome Gadget is great. Too bad it's not a full-blown stage.

I agree, Umihara Kawase's backgrounds add a lot to the general atmosphere of the game that is very pleasant. Shun's backgrounds are good too, but in a different way.

Screenshots don't do it justice. You have to play the game to take in the full effect.

Take this music, along with a background that changes with each progressive round, not unlike the old Fatal Fury games. The last transition involves an incredibly dark and cloudy looking version of what you see here. Thus stage is one of the many reasons I think KoF '96 is the most aesthetically pleasing game in the entire series. The presentation for this game is through the roof.

Now going into game mechanics, it's a flawed and busted game, but that's for another thread.

It's a shame that AoF 3 wasn't a good game like Fatal Fury 3 or Mark of the Wolves. And it's a shame too KoF 96 - 97 without Takuma. Mr. Karate instead Mr. Big in the Krauser and Geese team would be awesome.
