They are simple to command, but they are also incredibly simple to block and dodge. And it's not like the other player doesn't have an x-ray, so it's not some imbalanced advantage.

i dont mean them as OP sorry but like ill get mad when he just only waits to use it on me when im really low oh well im still learning

X-Rays are awesome. And not just performing them, or watching them, but they're not all the same, so there is a level of strategy there, that comes into mastering how to NOT get an X-Ray performed on you. For example, some characters X-Rays are initiated by throws, some parry, some from the air, some simple hits, and others through projectiles, so once you learn which character has what kind of an X-Ray, and what their range is, you can learn to avoid them better.
For example, Sonya's X-Ray in MKX is a parry move, meaning you actually have to hit her while she's performing it, in order to be caught in it. So, what you do is keep your distance when her bars are full, and use projectiles, and just keep an eye out for when she initiates it, and don't attack her directly when she does.

I also wish there was a Playlist without x-rays. In reality our health bars are 33% less than what you start with since No1 ever uses breakers or ex-mives unless by accident. People always save for the xray.

If you play someone who actually knows what they're doing they're probably going to be saving for breakers/ex moves.

Lol, I barely use X-ray in my opinion they dont do alot of damage, and you can do more damage with 1 bar and save the other bars for a breaker

Rather get hit by an x-ray then a 40% 1 bar combo lol, thats what breakers are for and x-ray's can be simply blocked

I haven't had a tin of time to play (damn work getting in the way) guess I just only ran into people that xray right away so far.

Yes, I do feel cheap when using them and prefer to use ex specials, but I'm only human if it comes to the crunch.

What?

Maybe in just low level online play. But in high level tournaments and such, xrays are almost never used, and breakers/ex are always used.

Hell, even in low level play, ex is used all the time in combos, and breakers are extremely useful.

Except X-Rays are LITERALLY THE WORST WAY to spend the X-Ray metter?

This game is sooooooooooooooo reliant on wasting bars to armor up (you can't even freaking wake up if you don't have some meter left) and most of the moves that used to connect and launch/stun in MK9 now NEED a bar to create a combo (for example, Sub-Zero needs bar to freeze or launch with most of his mixup starters, while in MK9 22-iceball was just perfect), plus saving 2 bars for breakups is always a life save.

X-Rays are stupidly bad when you consider everything you can do with that meter. A 30-35% damage for a full meter (that can be blocked?), no thanks, a lot of characters can easily reach 40% damage with 1 bar from a mixup situation much harder to block than the X-Ray.

And if used as part of a combo, damage scaling makes the added damage around 10% or even less in some situations, no thanks, I'm not sacrificing all that armor, launchers and breakers for some damage I can get from other sources anyway.

Or, you know, they look awesome, and add entertainment value. It's not all about how much total damage you can get out of your bars.

Guys don't hate me for saying this but to perform a X-Ray Brutality you have to first win with a X-Ray in the first round and also it has to be the last hit in the 2nd or third round.

What are these X-Ray brutalities you speak of? Are they only available for certain characters, or is this something everyone could do?

I could do without them.
Especially in this game...they're too long and they look like straight on fatalities. They kinda disrupt the flow of the battle a bit.

I guess they can be considered cheap but once you realize how every characters are performed you can usually avoid getting hit by them.

I rarely use them anyway, I always waste meter on breakers and EX specials lol

I think they should be built up over 10+ matches to make them special.

As someone mentioned you both have them, but when you take a beating you gain them so much faster and you can literally make a comeback just by hitting one.

I dislike that they are 30 fps.
Same goes for fatalities.

Just agree with your friend, sibling, or whomever is on the couch with you to not use them. I mean, they're not gonna cheap out with you right there! Maybe they would if they were strangers and hundreds of miles away, but that's just rediculous. Something like that would take all the fun out of fighting another player....

I'd say that the fun would be taken out if I had to play with someone like OP.
No X-rays, they're cheap.
Don't use your main! He/ she is too strong.
We can't play on that stage, it's so unbalanced!
Don't use fatalities, they take too long!

Might as well, be no items, Fox only, Final Destination.

OP - please see the following:

X Rays are awesome, it is so rewarding to hit someone with an X Ray right after they landed one on you only to drop both your health meters and really make the fight more tense. Step up your game and learn how to block and dodge them
