Ranked Mode Random Stages and Music

[It's here!]

I'm really tired of playing the same stage over and over again. Why is there no random stage selection like there is in SF6? It seems like something that is really easy to implement since computer has been easily generating randoms numbers since the 80's.

+1 on this! Very boring on the same stage all the time, in ranked at least. A pain having to manually change every time. It's been a basic option for over 35 years in my memory. Still can't remember everything I suppose!

+1 Musics can already be somewhat randomized, with the ability to assign up to 5 tunes per stage and make them play randomly, but having a random stage select on top of this would make my day.

Why would you want random stage in the first place? I like that COTW lets you play on a single stage of your choice, this means your opponent has no say in what stage you're playing in. Plus, being able to customize what music plays is great, this way you can pick the music you like and don't have to suffer through a theme you find unpleasant.

You complaining about these things is straight up comical, these are all good options by SNK that promote player freedom.

custom ost per stage does work. You have to set it to custom settings under the fatal fury soundtrack. It should show up before you go into soundtracks though. They need to fire the ui designer but the option for multiple tracks works online

Yeah I set mine to the COTW OST and the 2 DJ tracks per stage.

"Random Stage option" is redundant, when you can simply pick your preferred stage and play every game on it by default. You're complaining about a feature that should be a standard in every fighting game and your argument is "but muh random stage select" as if that's somehow something that people would miss.

My man you can still have client side stages with a random stage select. Would be nice for these ft10s where you can end up playing on the same stage 19 times in a row

What FT10s? You're rambling, my guy.

I'm just pointing out the obvious contradiction in your player freedom argument.

There is no contradiction, you just don't understand what player freedom means.

Not a single person cares about lobbies, bud. Ranked is FT2, that's all that matters.

Next thing you're probably gonna say is that this 2025 fighting game not having replay takeover makes it more interesting, lol
Whatever helps you sleep at night, guy who doesn't even own the game.

+1 on this one. I get it that it makes games load faster, perhaps, but cycling all the stages automatically is better than either being forced to do the same over and over again or manually having to choose another one each time.

Also, thank god this guy got the banhammer. sheesh. it seemed like he got off on tearing down people whose only fault was "discussing something". I remember when he went obnoxious on me for answering "I'd like if there was this one character" in a topic titled something like "which character would you like to be in the game in the future".

You need to submit a ticket in official FF Discord if you seriously want features done. SNK don’t read here.
