This is a very true statement in my eyes.
With all due respect to DH work in S1 and their lighting engine, the work put into the stages were saw yesterday was incredible.
Items reflected off the surfaces of the ground, potent colors all around, I really like Glacius’ stage when viewed and Sabrewulf’s as well.
Cinder’s probably going to look ■■■■ near incredible with the new lighting. If they retooled all the characters to fit the new lighting, he’s really going to pop on the darker stages when he’s fired up.
Same with any of the glowing color 9 costumes or things like Arby/Fulgore’s energy blades to a lesser extent. They’ll change their environment subtly just by existing.
Maybe fireballs as well! 
I’m excited about these shiny lights S3 is getting us.
The evidence of the new lighting came with Kim’s outro on her stage. Her nunchucks flared in reflection against the ultra truck and was amazing.
Oddly enough, they haven’t shown Orchid at all since the new updates, I’m curious if they have tweaked her, or left her the same? Also wonder if her batons will create the same reflect effect on her dark stage and looking forward to see her on Kim Wu and Tusk stages!!! Firecat glow on ice
LOVE how Kim’s coat floats her in air jumps & looks like her hair is longer
New Kim Wu alternate Jago cosplay costume!
Lol
I’m curious, has anyone seen Fulgore’s or Orchid’s stage yet with the new lighting?
No-
Hoping there’s a partial surprise there
In our next stream, someone will need to be Orchid or Fulgore as player 1. The way this build works, it puts you on the stage of whoever is 1st player. Nothing is being purposely hidden!
and if the player 1 choose Rash? 
huehuehue
In this build, defaults to Kan Ra’s stage.
who’s theme play?
You know… I like that. It adds a silent narrative to each fight. And we’ll see more stage variety. Is this a season 3 feature or just for pre-season exhibition?
It was just for this build we took to San Fran. Weren’t ready to show off new UI, so cut it out! Just a temporary thing.
We can call it Kan-Rash stage, now.
You are a genius
That sounds like something someone would need to get some lotion or ointment for…
I think Riptor’s stage fits Rash pretty well. His music would work there too. Put both Amphibian/Reptiles on the same stage. @rukizzel
Battletoads thematically has general industrial/Post apocalyptic/ cyber punk, type stuff so: Cinder, Riptor, & Fulgore are pretty good choices for Rash.
Don’t forget the crashed space ship!
Also, the TJ gym suits well for him because, you know, it’s like very “beat 'em up” videogame scenario
TJ’s stage literally has his name on it. and his face lol
It suits for Rash, of course it suits for TJ XD
At the end of the day Rash drops out of a portal. I think you could randomize his stage and just have his music when you fight against him. He’s so over the top, let him be anywhere.
