New Stage for Street Fighter V!

New stage just revealed for Street Fighter V - the Forgotten Waterfall! Taking inspiration directly from New Zealand

Combo on new stage

Look familiar? Maybe you’ve seen the top of it in a previous Street Fighter. Each of the stages has been inspired by various locales throughout the world with the Forgotten Waterfall’s inspiration being directly pulled from New Zealand.

Ono on EVO

It's no brainer that Ono would be at EVO but a confirmation is still nice tho!

Are the sheep the people viewing evo or am I reading too much into it

reminds me of the tekken 6 sheep stage, aka the best tekken stage

Hmm?

Joey Ravn · Jul 7, 2015

OK, I get it. Work in progress, it's a fighting game so backgrounds aren't really important, gameplay over graphical fidelity...

But, man, those textures. That rock just above Ryu and the sheep. Even if it has some sort of weird filter over the image, it just doesn't look good, IMO.

Just to be clear, I'm excited for this game, but that rock touched a nerve...

Stage looks pretty meh.

JBourne · Jul 7, 2015

Not next-gen enough. Where are my sheep with HairWorks and realistic pooping?

IntelliHeath · Jul 7, 2015

At first glance, I thought the stage would be from Patagonia Region in Argentina and Chile.

Also Is that loch ness monster in background?

Omega · Jul 7, 2015

yes. more shoryuken poses for pictures

SamVimes · Jul 7, 2015

Does inspired by New Zealand means it's in New Zealand? Because i don't remember any stages from there and it says we've already seen it in a previous Street Fighter.

Neoxon · Jul 7, 2015

My god, Forgotten Waterfall looks gorgeous.

Not confirmed. Just going by rumors. =p

I think the filters are going to look like something like this in end (for the characters at least).

It's a Capcom conspiracy and they're probably hiding the final build from us.

Frodo confirmed.

Capcom still can't match Namco's Tekken 6 sheep tech.

Yea but the sheep will love it regardless.

Get it?

Forgotten Waterfall will be pretty awesome once they polish it up a bit.

Yeah, looks about the same as SF4 background art, which is full of ugly renditions of "natural" textures. Fortunately, the characters look great.

J-Skee · Jul 7, 2015

There is also new info on the beta, OP. Should probably update the thread to reflect that: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/07/07/street-fighter-v-ps4-beta-details-revealed/

EDIT: Nevermind. I see there is already a thread for it.

If someone specifically requests it, it's very likely to be in your best interest to decline.

Dead Prince · Jul 7, 2015

Oh. that's not a sheep necking the other sheep in the top left corner.

Neoxon · Jul 7, 2015

KTO said:

I'd rather have meh-looking sheep that don't lag the game than sheep that look amazing & cause framerate dips. That being said, the game's a work in progress, so maybe they'll try to get them to look better without compromising the framerate.

oneida · Jul 7, 2015

do these textures hint at a 3DS release? megaton incoming...

RedEther · Jul 7, 2015

New stage looks pretty nice

Shiina · Jul 7, 2015

Great idea but the stage looks clearly unfinished.

Raitaro · Jul 7, 2015

To each their own, but I for one care as much about stages as I do about characters, so I'm very happy to see a new one revealed - especially one as pretty as this one (assuming it will be polished up some more, as some of the background elements do look SFIV style blurry and lacking in detail right now).

I also hope they will (fully reduce lag in normal stages and) disable the eventual training stage from competitive play this time as I'm sick of seeing those used almost exclusively in tournaments.

LiK said:

If we would only listen to EVO players, fighting games would never evolve in any way (as they already barely have) or have any sort of emphasis on context and presentation. They would be like chess games in actuality in other words and not just as an Ono metaphor. To me, a fighting game - just as any game really - should never be reduced completely to its core gameplay else we lose all experiential / narrative / aesthetic elements that made it attractive to play in the first place. I realize others may disagree with this, but that's my view at least.

Zubz · Jul 7, 2015

So we're gonna see the debut of a New Zealand character at SDCC, I take it? Nice!

kirblar · Jul 7, 2015

With the PS4's RAM, it would take a Cacpcom move to make it lag.

But the game looks significantly better, so there's that.

delSai · Jul 7, 2015

Would like it more without the sheep.

Ingueferroque · Jul 7, 2015

Looks kinda rough, considering it is a fighting game background.. the fidelity/texture resolution seems very low.

LeleSocho · Jul 7, 2015

That stage looks really really nice, if the water at the right looks as good as i hope maybe it will be even better than Overpass of SF4.

5taquitos · Jul 7, 2015

The scale of that lake doesn't look quite right

On the PC ver I'm sure you'll be able to remove them via performance settings.

I'm about 99% certain that competitive players would much rather have the technical QA done so that every stage runs at a locked 60fps instead of the shitshow that is SF4 randomly dropping frames on stages, which is why you see so much training stage in that game.

It's the same reason why you only ever see the Danger Room and Bonne Wonderland in UMvC3, as those stages have the least number of framerate issues.

ZeroTheShadow · Jul 7, 2015

Unimpressed.

Raitaro · Jul 7, 2015

For those wanting it, there seems to be a new (very bland imo, compared to SFxT and MVC3) training stage shown here: http://www.capcom-unity.com/combofiend/blog/2015/07/07/street-fighter-v-beta-breakdown

Seems like the training stage is included in the beta as well. The link also shows a second pic of the new stage by the way.

Has anyone got a clue what this hint refers to: "Look familiar? Maybe youve seen the top of it in a previous Street Fighter."? Which old stage showed the top of this waterfall?

Lights and Waves · Jul 7, 2015

Is this from a PS2 game?
