Art of the Backdrop [125 Fighting Game Backgrounds in Motion]

With all of the action going on in a fighting game it’s really easy to overlook the work the artists put into the background.  Luckily the internet exists and someone found time to pull the backgrounds out of games like King of Fighters, Street Fighter, and a few other series so we can bask in their awesomeness.  You can check out all 125 of the backgrounds here, but below are a few that I found cooler than most.
