Sailor's Rest
Very similar to Cervantes's stage, Pirate Raid, in Soul Calibur 3. However, this one is set in broad daylight, seagulls are flying by, another shipwreck can be seen at a distance, and there are islands surrounding the stage. Certain parts of the ship's gunwales can be destroyed, allowing for a ring-out.

Sanctuary
Set on a mysterious ruin, hidden deep in the jungle. Watch out for the trap that ancient denizens laid. What's more, the flooded sections of the stage are very slippery, and fighters need to make sure they don't stumble after receiving a low blow. Make good use of the stage's features, and victory is yours!

Sewer
Splish, splash, you'll definitely want to take a bath after a round in this level. It starts off small, but once you unleash the floodwaters and take the fight deeper into New York's sewage system you'll want to keep an eye out for any non-turtle reptiles waiting beneath the water.

Sewn Playground
Formerly a warehouse run by the Fishface Crime Syndicate, this abandoned place has allegedly become the cove of the assassin known as "Doll", the mysterious "woman with needles" who has been for a long time at the center of some press buzz in Euterpe. Following the discovery of several maimed corpses with their mouth sewn shut, the Italian police managed to track down the so-called "Playground", identified as the common place of death.
The playground was described by the investigators as "a horrific place, decorated with several paper dolls and gruesome replicas of paintings by Goya and Picasso".
Doll, however, was never found. The rumors of her activity have died since, to the point that today she is considered little more than a creepy, disturbing urban legend, not unlike "The Man with the Hat" from New Langdon.
However, several policemen still believe in her existence: there is a special police unit which keeps on watching the "Playground" continuously during the day, in the hope of catching her returning to her "house".

Shooting Star Aquarium
The Shooting Star Aquarium was opened in 2047 in New Langdon as a means to showcase a huge variety of living sea creatures, including genetically modified sea fauna. The aquarium is spread on a surface of more than thirty thousand square meters, hosting more than 600 species in 87 different tanks.
In recent years, following the example of Manten Aquarium in Japan, the facility has been advertised as a dating place for couples who want to share intimate moments in the dim lights of the aquarium.
Several tanks with chameleon jellyfishes and atmospheric, soothing music, have contributed to the current nickname of the place, now known as "the love aquarium".
The popularity of this format proved good enough to convince the higher-ups to market it more like a place for lovers than for people interested in discovering sealife. Still, the aquarium manages to attract lots of children due to its "sea monsters" section, which hosts lots of genetically modified creatures - like the four-eyed sharkwhales created by Encorp and Zavira Corporation in 2049.
Pandering to teenagers as a dating place and to children for the scary creatures, the aquarium sports an impressive record of five million visitors per year.

South Asia: Beautiful Bay
Beautiful Bay is set on a boat in a body of water, located in Vietnam. The sun is setting on the horizon, which creates a good scenery for a battle to take place. There is also a weird monkey/man hybrid sitting on the left side of the stage, which some have joked as to being the "missing link" for humanity.

South Asia: Exciting Street Scene
While there are no "character-specific" stages in Street Fighter IV, this stage seems heavily geared towards Dhalsim, seeing as he is from India. His wife and staple elephants from his original Street Fighter II stage make an appearance in the background, and the elephants will fall down if a large impact is made in the fight.

South France Mansion - Library
The master of this domicile is no longer alive. The rich lord that lived here was poisoned, and the man who lived here since left this place recently. Other than the wing where the servants and the child that the man brought reside, this mansion is in desolate silence. It is said that the man did not come out of this library until the day he left on his journey. Surprisingly, there are no traces on the bookshelves or anywhere else in the room that give a clue to what the man was doing in this place. The silent mansion awaits the return of its master... or the visitor.

It was shortly thereafter purchased by the combat arena alliance and turned into a grand hotel and sporting ring for HAR battles.
