[Why I didn't post this: I couldn't get images of each stage easily. Emulation efforts and hacks failed to get footage. This idea died so quickly I called myself out before anything happened.]

11:22 PM September 5, 2023: My brain has unlocked a memory.

I remember playing Battle Arena Toshinden often when I was younger. One thing that intrigued me was the stages. They're pretty alright in design, some far cooler than the others (Kayin) that both pushed the early PS1's capabilities and hit the limitations on one go. Each stage featured extremely banging themes that still holds up to this day.

But young me, adjacent-but-not-foreign exposure to violence in video games always got a bit of a queasy off-putting feeling about ring outs, and just how bad off you were if you fell off any of these stages. Similar to feelings I imagine some folks get about Fatalities, my brain began to measure up what stages would be the worst to fall off of.

So I revisit this idea and present the idea to you because what are the Drafts for but to start on an idea, realize it's stupid as hell, and then return to it to finish and release it anyway?
