Perhaps they should add someone who has a really cool mustache. Just being in the mustache's presence gives that person sheer pressure or something, so we can hear "Damn that mustache." "That mustache." "Nerf that mustache, trim it down a bit on power."

Welcome to a brief section I call: "Stages I fucking hate." Here I will list the stages that blow ass chunks, and provide a brief explanation as to why they blow said chunks of ass. I was going to include pictures, but it turns out I couldn't even get good pictures of all these stages because they're so damn boring and lame that no one uploads them. So anyway, enjoy.

1. Dojo
BECAUSE IT'S NOT EVEN A FUCKING STAGE! People need to realize this. It's banned for a reason, and that reason is that you're not supposed to be fighting in it. Why? The environment adds a whole plethora of moves, tools and options into the game that affect characters in varying ways. Imagine if your opponent just started randomly, but deliberately, taking out your most useful tools. You'd be like: "That's stupid! My character relies on those tools for spacing and punishing and offense/defense!" Well guess what? That's EXACTLY what picking Dojo is doing to your opponent! It removes some characters' tools completely and alters others to be highly inefficient. Characters weren't designed to be used in a vacuum, they were designed to be used in an arena; in an actual fighting space. Dojo is the fan-favorite for spineless pussies and anyone who bears the misfortune of playing with online randoms is subjected to it more than all the other stages combined. Fuck Tatami!
...oh, and it looks really boring, too.

2. Aircraft Carrier
What's an ugly, lazily uninspired stage import that's as close to Dojo as you can get without actually being Dojo? Aircraft Carrier. It's big, it's boring and it sucks. It's slightly more interesting than Dojo and does have some very distant, minimalistic electric fences, so it's one baby step ahead of Dojo. But when your reference of comparison is so low, you're still a shit stage.

3. Dead or Alive
What's an ugly, uninspired stage that's as close to Aircraft Carrier as you can get without actually being Aircraft Carrier? Dead or Alive! "Wow, it has TVs and cardboard spectators!" Yes, it does. And they don't get close to remedying how flat the damn thing is. This is supposed to be where the tournament Grand Finals are held. It should be epic! It should be exciting! But it isn't. Just a bunch of sheet metal.

4. Arrival
What's an ugly, lazily uninspired stage re-skin that's as close to Dead or Alive as you can get while still actually being Dead or Alive? Arrival! It's the same damn stage minus the cardboard men and jumbo screens mentioned earlier. Why is it not quite as bad as Dead or Alive? Because water is prettier than cardboard spectators. Oh, and the sky is not black, so you get a bit of a change from Dead or Alive, Aircraft Carrier, and Dojo, the three worst stages.

5. Coming Soon
What's an ugly, uninspired stage re-skin that's as close to the other two circus stages as you can get while still trying to masquerade as a new stage? Coming Soon! Wow, Team Ninja has a trend with it's lower-end stages, don't they? First of all, three damn circus stages is just too many. That means you're three times more likely to get a circus stage than each of the normal stages whenever you pick random. And to top it off, the circus stages aren't really the most exciting and interesting ones to begin with. But fine. They give you some crazy stuff to do so you get to use some brain power. Oh, unless you get the Coming Soon variant. It has no environmental stuff at all aside from from standard, rather spaced-out walls. And, to top that off, it's visually the most boring of all the already fairly boring circus stages! One circus stage would have been fine (ideally, The Show). But now we got three different variants, one of which is separated from the others by being deliberately boring, vacant and uninteresting. "Oh, but it can be selected in Tag Mode..." Yeah fuck Tag Mode. No one cares.

Three of the absolute worst stages in the game, and it's a FACT. Preach!

In other news, I started playing DoA5U again today. I'm not as hardcore about it as I used to be sadly. So I'm making the Casual Thread my permanent home! Deal with it, y'all :U

Hey, this looks like fun. Can I play too?

Here's my top five worst stages.

2) Except

4) The
Yes, it's the most maligned stage in a particular DOA game, and if you thought those stages were something to bitch about, you don't know jack shit about the....

5) EXPERIMENTAL. FUCKING. PLAYGROUND.

Yes, this CLUSTERFUCK of a stage in Dead or Alive 4 full of randomly moving dangerzones, uneven slopes, a beach where a pterodactyl can swoop across and hit at any random time, and partitions galore will actually make you WANT those stages you hate so much back. You thought stages with no dangerzones were boring? Spend an entire day playing DOA4 in this stage and tell me you wouldn't be even a little frustrated by the sheer randomness of the stage interactions. And no, don't just say you won't just to spite me. Actually play it. I'm dead serious, and this is coming from a guy who's not often serious about a lot of things. There were damn good reasons this stage was banned from tourneys.

The reason I'm bringing this up is because I'm trying to prove a point that too many obstructions is never a good idea. Regardless of how boring a stage might look, I'll gladly take one that has walls over something with excessive amounts of randomly generated obstructions (or one that benefits certain characters too much over others) any day. However, I do still agree the Dojo is bullshit, I'll give you that.

(NOTE: The DOATEC Germany is an honorable mention.)

That being said... count your many, many blessings, and have a nice day. It CAN be worse. Oh, and tag rocks.

just a heads up, blue mila was resubmitted with some minor tweaks, and unfortunately i forgot to include all detail notes in resubmission (such as mesh in back of bra, how necklace is supposed to be silver,Victoria tags, and how blues are supposed to shimmer, was a huge thing to forget for me...)

I'm well aware of the shitfest that was Experimental Playground, but we were mentioning bad stages from DOA5U.

As bad as Experimental Playground was though, I'd certainly pick that over Ninja Hideout.

Gambler's Paradise was pretty bad too, for the same moving dangerzone issues as Experimental Playground.

Savannah Safari was another bad one. Moving dangerzone and a part of the stage that needlessly shook your camera around to a very annoying extent.
