Here's my thoughts on SCV's stages. A few were the same with the only difference being night or day. I didn't favor this, but I understand that the game wasn't a finished product so that was probably the best they could do.
Personally, I wanted a "Sakura Garden" stage. A stage that had Sakura flowers flowing in the background of the battle. Nothing too obnoxious, but there to appreciate. Here are some examples.

A small bridge that can resort to RO's. I'd have the fighters start parallel w/ the bridge.

I love the step idea, the steps would need a trimming so no can trip or things like that.
These are
my ideas.
