Is there a preferred stage/character theme you give your creations?

[REPROBEAN_CHILD]

This question is directed to those of you who actually fight with your creations. When you're going about selecting a stage and character theme to fight with, has there ever been a combination that says, "Hey, this looks great for *insert name here*." This thread is for those of you who like using a particular stage or theme song for the character(s) you made. I've done this a few times. I suggest giving a name and picture of your character (you can give a reason why you choose the theme and stage you gave them if you'd like).

Hristina Veneva

Preferred Stage: Free Imperical City: Old Quarter
Preferred Theme: Pavor Nocturnus (Nightmare)

Catherine Furukawa


Preferred Stage: Free Imperical City: City Center
Preferred Theme: Venice Rooftops (Ezio)

Lucienne Beauvilliers de Chartres


Preferred Stage: House of Valentine's Prague Residence
Preferred Theme: Mischievous Whispers (Tira)


[I know some of you are probably wondering why I chose Tira's theme over theme's like Ivy or Raphael's. I factored in that Lucienne is a enigmatic character who works in secret. She's said to be "so frigid," that a room could go cold and she doesn't leave her chateau unless it's for something related to Hristina or "the plans she has for her". I also like the brief vocals near the beginning of Tira's theme, which suit her and Tira very well. I factored in more than just looks on who gets a theme lol]

Yasuo & Mei Feng

Preferred Stage: Luoyang: Granf Festival of Guandi Temple
Preferred Theme: Yasuo: Invincible Blade (Mitsurugi) / Mei Feng: Samsara-Wheel of Eternity (Kilik)

Abigail Veneva



Preferred Stage: Unknown Forest
Preferred Theme: Wings of Sorrow (Pyrrha)

Ubasti "Lucy"



Preferred Stage: Tower of Glory: Spiral of Good and Evil
Preferred Theme: The Wandering Seer (Viola)

True Lucienne

Preferred Stage: Astral Chaos: Crossing points
Preferred Theme: Sacred Dark (Azazel)*

[This was a lot more difficult to choose. There wasn't a character theme that I felt belonged for this character. I recall listening to Sacred Dark and remembered that I liked the ominous chanting from the choir to go with her. Ultimately, I decided to go with that instead and use this with custom soundtracks on occasion. Even though the song has an Egyptian overtone, Azazel and True Lucienne are somewhat comparable: they're both embodiments of evil that shoot laser beams lol]
*not in SCV

Since there's a story element with my characters, I did something done in Blazblue/Guilty Gear. I gave a theme about the fight between two characters. For this, there aren't any preferable stages; only the fighting.

Hristina vs Catherine
Virtuous Heart (Alpha Patroklos)

Catherine vs Lucienne
Blood Thirst Concero (Raphael)

Hristina vs Mei Feng or Yasuo
Antares (Soul of Devil Jin)

Hristina vs True Lucienne
Brutal Instinct (Aeon)

Catherine vs True Lucienne
Chainless Disaster (Astaroth)

Nice idea, in SC4 I used to fight with my CaS in determined stages cause they suit well, but strangely I've not doing the same in SC5, maybe in my next CaS gallery update I'll add favorite stage and theme for my CaS ^ ^

 

[REPROBEAN_CHILD]

So do you guys give a preferred theme or stage to a character on occasion? Am I the only one who did this? O_0

Since a lot of my CAS tend to be detail-oriented recreations of characters from other content / media, I usually figure out what stage fits them the best when fighting with them. For originals I don’t often care as much, or at least have as strong an opinion (backwards maybe, but there it is).

I’ve never thought in terms of which musical theme fits which CAS before, which is funny because I usually care quite strongly about leitmotifs and background music and themes, etc. Music is a huge part of games for me, to the point where it can make or break the experience.

 

[Zergoreth]

I did around SCIII and SCIV, but I don't see many stages that fit my characters this time around.

 

[Norik]

I always pick random lol.

Not bad, but maybe you should provide a picture of your characters so we can make a visual connection

Let me try compiling something (because that sounds tedious, lol).

 

[SpellcraftQuill]

You can check out the topic in my signature for the character themes. Also, I have special themes when certain characters face each other which I will list here.

Roviarph vs Eloaus: Without the Burden of Fate
Roviarph vs Fyveros: Raise thy Sword
Roviarph vs Terror: Regalia
Maeriae, Semul, Xestais, or Zeon against one another(save Semul vs Zeon): Sword of Resolution
Maeriae vs the Usurper: Unblessed Soul
Eloaus vs Fyveros: Antares

[OmegaVampire]

Well I do have some themes I can post up for my CAS characters. (Sadly I can't post pics unless I get a good camera.)
Michael: Both Raphael's stage and theme. (He is based off Raphael's SC5 outfit but the colors are black, white for the metal and red for the sash. Also has black hair.)

Alice: Uses Zalasamael's style and her theme: Adorned with Evil. Stage is Tira's SC5 stage.

Nick: Xiba user and his theme is Breakthrough from SC4 and his stage is Kilik's SC5 stage.

Gage: Uses Zwei's style and theme. But his stage is Nightmare's SC3 stage.

Ericka: Is one of Alice's daugthers that uses Mitsurgi's style. Her theme is No Turning back. (Raphael's SC2 stage.)

Yuna: Is the older one of Alice's daughters. Uses Raphael's fencing style. Theme: Reign of Doom. (Its either Raphael's or Tira's theme in SC4.)

Chesire: Uses Alpha Patroklos's style. Theme: Till Faith Writes my Epitaph. Stage is Edge Master's stage.

Im sorry I can't post pictures of my CAS characters. If you want you can ask me what they look like and you can build them.

Some of my characters I tend to pick certain stages.

Nightmare creations often get the burning city stage due to high chance of wall hits (I MUCH prefer them over ring-outs the way many NM douchebags pick tiny stages), and fire & brimstone often goes with them.

Guts ALWAYS gets the burning battlefield, reasons should be obvious to Berserk fans:

Spoiler

I like to think that Comrade Astaroth is a cage fighter. Because cage fighting is MANLY. So He often either get's Voldo's cage, or Xiba's arena:

Spoiler

A couple of my other creations have a "usual" but most of the others aren't really set in stone. I often default to NM's castle stage (dark or light) for everything else.

 

[Jess]

I don't consciously consider it, but a lot of my outfits do lend themselves to certain stages when I do think about it. Although whenever I'm picking the stage I almost always pick Free Imperical City: City Center with Regalia (Algol's theme) assigned as standard (my BGM volume is minimized, though, as I listen to my own music while playing).​

​

Although to contribute, some of my outfits that match that stage either thematically or by sharing the color palette (spoiler contains 4 900x500px images):​

I always pick random lol.

When you pick random, it music can still play with the stages they're been assigned to.

 

[REPROBEAN_CHILD]

Shameless bump. I liked the idea of this thread; other posts don't need to be as detailed as mine unless you want it to. :) I also updated my post.

 

[Xernuht]

I've got two characters I constantly flip between, designed mostly to be rivals (because what are fighting games without rivals?), but more on the friendly side. I'm considering making a villain, but that's for later...

Anyways, my first, Alexei, is a Pat S&S with a heart of gold... but fights dirty. As such, he fights in the Conqueror's Coliseum, and with Faster Than A Howling Wind as his theme.

The rival, Kris, is a cynical Mitsu longsword that started as an excuse to use the Ali Hillis voice away from my FFXIII-2 Lightning. Her stage is Last Rites on the Battlefield, and her theme is Venice Rooftops (SCV).

If I get a chance, I'll add pics.
