Stage Recoloring When writing my book, I did a deep dive into the changes between the base Street Fighter EX and EX2 and their Plus upgrades. The most-obvious alteration came in background stage coloring. In the first game, each fighter lost his or her second color and gained a new one. In EX2 Plus, the second color was lost and a pair of new ones was added. However, unlike the original EX, whose stages you can see here, levels were random which made capturing them with identical fighters a long chore. Instead, you'll see a variety of character matchups below. As Hayate was removed from EX2 Plus, he's not shown below. Some final details: the first stage shown, Amusement Crime, was removed from the Western versions as the man/dummy hung in the back was deemed a bit too morbid. Even in the ending sequence, this area was greyed out. The second stage with the lounging Buddha, this starts at a different camera angle. On the bottom you'll find the one EX2-only stage. This was removed from the updrade and was replaced with seven new arenas.
