Ring of Galaxy is a DLC stage first introduced in Street Fighter V. The stage was only available for a limited time to represent the Capcom Pro Tour 2021.
Description[]
The stage takes place in outer space aboard a satellite colony. Through the use of centrifugal gravity, the crowd stands at a circular passageway with an open skylight ceiling staring up at the arena, where the fighters duel sideways akin to the 2D plane that the game presents itself from their perspective.
The arena is a theater stage inspired platform, with gold stage lighting at the rim of the stage arena, and a crane lift gate for a commentator, while the floor uses gold etching for an elaborate pattern illustrating the Earth on a grid map and blue glass. The window is domed protruding upwards, which host marquees on the top portion of the facing hallway's ceiling, while the intersecting portion of the frames host a small diamond shaped monitor used to present country shapes where the respective fighter comes from. Sporadically from time to time, aqua blue laser lights fill up the top portion of the dome windows.
On the colony's outside, two massive golden statues pose as if they are hoisting something, and is artistically done akin as if the two are holding up the Earth, akin to either an Atlas like globe or a Yagyou Odama energy ball. A space shuttle can also be seen adrift in the backdrop.

Trivia[]
- While the stage does not appear to be for any character from the series, the Ring of Galaxy may be used to provide a more space themed penultimate feel like the Ring of Destiny to literally be "on top of the world", and to accentuate space and sci-fi themed outfits such as Ryu's Sci-Fi or Mega Man costume or Chun-Li's Star Gladiator June Lin Milliam outfit.
- Probably inspired due to Street Fighter × Tekken, a similar stage that can be referenced as similar would be Tekken 5's Final Frontier and Dark Resurrection Space Colony stages, which take place in a centrifugal space colony.
- Another inspiration may also be taken from a depiction of the final battle between Hayato Kanzaki and Dr. Edward Bilstein from Star Gladiator from the greeting page of Capcom's early 2000s Japanese website, as depicted in the Capcom Official Works artbook.
