I think the X-ray system was one of the coolest features NRS came up with recently, but in a conversation about MKX with a coworker the other day he mentioned that it doesn't really make sense that when a fighter gets their leg broken or something else that would completely take someone out of the fight such as smashed organs they are still able to fight.

Now we all know that that's just part of MK, and no matter how much blood is spilled or whatever the fight will continue until someone wins. But I had an idea that I think could make the X-ray feature more fun and not just diminish a huge chunk of the health bar. What if the X-ray feature what set up to where let's say a fighter gets their leg or arm broken then they have to continue fighting with one good arm or dragging their broken leg with them slowing them down? I think it would be a cool idea, and the X-ray moves should still diminish some health but in place of diminishing so much as it does now, it could instead have that wounded effect on the fighter's ability to fight.

As for other X-rays such as broken spines, ruptured organs, or even Goro's famous cringing X-ray from MK9, I'm not really sure how those would play out or even work for the idea above. Any other ideas or opinions? I'd love to see what you others think of this.
