Definitely stage fatalities. But could they do both? How about in the 2nd round or 3rd (depending on wins) you do a special combo right before their meter runs out, the walls go down and the stage is opened up for a ring out. Not just any ring out of course, its got to be a Mortal Kombat type of ring out. A ring out with a stage fatality. Sounds cool to me.

What pisses me off in MK:DA is in some stages theres an area that looks open but u cant go there, like this stairway on the nethership or the path in quan chi's fortress to the inner sanctum. in other words, make the envirionments more interactive, not real ring outs...definately pit fatalities tho

It would be nice to have some levels to have Ringouts where the opponent instantly dies if he/she falls off in the second round. As for the other stages you could fight normal and at the end of a stage you could perform a stage fatality that has to do something with the backround rather than what is under the ground in combat.

A ring-out stage fatality in a certain arena or two would be awesome. Like, if you are fighting on a podium and knock them over the edge in the first round, that could be it, but of course, only in certain arena's/arena, it would make people extremely careful and more concious of the way they fight and not to get backed up.

But out of the two, stage fatalities, but I do agree some ring-outs wouldn't go a stray, even non-fatal ones.

Definately stage fatalities. Ring-outs are gay.
