I always thought these old fighting game animated backgrounds were kind of awesome - I think this one is from Last Blades 2

    Here's the full album on imgur by u/RudeBootie (reddit user - deleted their account though). I'm not sure which games most of them are from.

      Pixel art from the mid 90's to the early 00's was something else. You're right that the stage you linked is from The Last Blade series (Amano's stage specifically), and most of the stages in that album are from SNK/NeoGeo games. I spent far too much time (and quarters) on fighting games in arcades and did a lot of character/stage ripping for the Mugen community back in the day so I can identify most of those. If there are any specific stages that you want to know which game they're from then let me know.

      That album is amazing! Not that fighting games don't look good today but I lowkey miss the 2D sprite artstyles, some 20 year old games look better than games released today if they don't have top tier 3D artstyle and graphics. (Sorry KOFXV...)

    I'm just getting into fighting games with sf6 but I also picked up the capcom fighting collection solely because I love the look of the old games. High detail pixel art like those in the album is just timeless.

      I hope SF6 has been treating you well, that game is sick. Really good entryway into the genre if anyone has been thinking that they want to give fighting games a try.
