disabled_by_defaultDue to increasing levels of AI scraping putting incredible strain on server resources but Cloudflare's under attack mode being a bit too heavy-handed to leave up 24/7, we're trying a new way to combat these attacks. By default, all traffic will be challenged but logged in users will bypass those challenges completely. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause as it was never our intention to try to force registration and you certainly still don't have to - passing one of those challenges should keep you in the clear for a half-hour otherwise.

Interesting. I guess the three rooftop stages and the two bridge stages also behave differently from the rest.

Actually no, they don't "play in the background" but move forward or backward depending on characters' position. This is full RGB (no DCT) with some key frames and the rest motion compensated.
The other FMVs are more traditional "MJPG like" though.

I mean like the stages are actual videos playing in the background. Quite a few games (especially for the Sega CD) used this kind of trick.

Of course they're FMV, what do you mean?

Those stages are actually sprites? I could've sworn you just fought over an FMV.
