Title. I need help with this. It really breaks my immersion seeing boss stages for regular characters during my arcade runs before reaching the final boss.

Abyss, Stages\Marvel-R_Abyss3#Green.def, includestage=0, order=3

This is what I put in the select file. I assume there's more to it than that?

Hello Boxuu.

Personally, I assign a stage for every character.

Make sure that you have not added the stage to the stages section of your select.def.  Otherwise it should work, but it wouldn't exactly be a shock to me if that weren't the issue.

Slightly off-topic, I have no idea how mugen is able to read that file name correctly, but if it actually works, then uhh...great.

Hey there,

Be sure to assign "order" to every single character.  Be sure to be consistent with file names (capital/lowercase, symbols, numbers) as well.
You should try changing the name of Abyss3#Green as well.  Sometimes, the smallest detail can throw everything off.
Try something like this:

Notice the consistency with the naming and the removal of symbols.
Also, when changing any file name in the select.def, be sure to change the names of the actual file to the same name listed in the select.def.
I hope this helps.

The naming of the stage actually does work despite it having symbols but thank you all.
