Because it already has a name. Stage Ultra.
Calling them No Mercies all of a sudden would just anger the community even more.

Exactly, using an existing name would only serve to confuse players.
Give no mercy a new meaning then.
I think the STAGE ULTRAAA sounds pretty bad, but I like the description. I say remove “Stage Ultra” and keep the “Banished” “Cratered” “Rekt” etc.
Yeah, no.
The announcer uttering the word “stage” is a lil forth wall breaking, like in a bad way.

Why not? No mercies haven’t been around for years.
I don’t think using any existing term from a KI game in a way other than it has been in the past would anger people, a no mercy is a finishing move in KI 1 & 2. Those games are still played thanks to the Xbox one, honestly I think a new term would be a lot more reasonable.
Because it is a completely random and unnecessary thing to do.

There’s nothing wrong with the concept. It’s how it sounds that’s terrible.

You don’t see why, do you?
Let’s make a metaphor…
You have an apple… yes, I like apple metaphors.
Suddenly, some day, someone says “Hey… why not call the apples for pears now? Pears haven’t been a thing for some time, so let’s rename apples into pears. It just sounds better.”
… Come on… It sounds like something people who are severely stoned would say.

It can be. A pear is a fruit. It has it’s seeds, it grows on trees. Much like how sage ultras are essentially fatalities.
Yeah, no.
You just don’t wanna ■■■■■ with tradition.
“Stage” Ultra. Very extremely redundant (see what I did there?) It’s like watching a zombie movie or the walking dead and having the characters refer to the living dead as zombies.
I am all for innovation and being progressive. Taking the name from one thing and sticking it on something else is neither. It is uncreative and just plain old stupid.

Not everything needs to be original.
Something we can agree on, but I bet it is for two completely different reasons.
