I hope they are not, b/c it was kind of annoying in MKDA!!! However for what I have seen so far not all of the arenas in MKD are round. I think!?!

hmm.. mk:d is not all round... some are sqaure... such as the chess combat.. and also the new sky temple stage... so yeah its diffrent...

Hey guys, I'm new here... :)

Well, I think that's the only way a 3D fighter could be made. I mean, think about it... if they were fighting on a narrow bridge (which would be cool), there wouldn't be room to avoid certain projectiles/moves by walking up/down. This is pretty obvious, actually, but... hehe!

One thing for sure: I miss the Pit stages.

I just wanna say that cliff level is freaking me out cause its so small and from the promo clip it looks like u can fall at any given time I hope this doesnt happen. I know its been sayed a few times about the death traps being like this but i wanted to get this off my chest as this level is a circle right.

From what I have seen, only the Cliff and Red Dragon Temple stages look to be circle.

Also the Cliff stage starts out big and then gets small. You probably have only seen the small part. Either way, that board will test your skills to the max, which I look forward to doing with online. That stage will rock.

The reason why all the stages were circle in MKDA is easy, they were lazy with that game. No interaction except for 2 boards and having all the boards being small circles. Just lazy.

This will not be the case though with MKD.

I doubt we'll see to much of that being that theres no more invisible wall. Also I think the Prison Stage is round.

I agree that more areas need to be less circular. The MKD arenas are looking pretty big and seem more rectangular and free roaming. The circular arenas were also too enclosed so I am hoping that the MKD arenas provide a lot more space.
