Here's an idea! Why not make MK6 stages all One world... a place where you can roam and fight at will... run through a city, into the suburbs, into the desert, down into some caves, maybe the sewers... you know, something REALLY big... and make stage fatalities like they had back in Eternal Champions, so you had to FIND the fatalities rather than just put them in... Imagine having a huge world with 100's of stage fatalities, all depending on where you're fighting! Fight in the sewers? Have a stage fatality like the old sludge bath in MK2... Fighting in the desert? Have them burn to death or get attacked by vicious snakes/scorpions... the ideas are endless!
One of the best fatalities ever was from Eternal Champions! You're fighting in a Circus and at the end of the left side of the screen is a big, dark cage. If you knocked them into it at the right time, it turned out to be a HUGE lion in there that dragged him into the cage and tore him up! Blood gushing everywhere! That's the kind of Stage fatalities we need...

What do ya think?
