I was hoping as we got closer to the release that characters would have a choice of Xrays like in Street Fighter.  Being able to choose a more defensive Xray (like johnny Cages) or a more offensive (Scorpion) would be a cool wrinkle to the whole Xray dynamic...

I agree with what others have said, that being that in the full game you're going to be seeing less of the same x-rays simply because you'll be encountering way more characters.

" @l4wd0g: I'm guessing you not playing against a real person? X-ray moves are like fatalitys, there awesome the first time, but always boring when playing the computer. Plus with the full release of the the game you'll be seeing the same ones alot less.  "

When that perfectly placed X-Ray wins you the match, you will not be thinking about how repetitive the animation is.

The demo only has four characters. So I agree with what your saying that the X-Rays and the fatalities becoming very repetitive. Just like Techhits said though when the full game releases there will be 26 characters each with there own X-Rays and multiple fatalities as well as new stage fatalities. Plus when you're in a tough match and pull one of those off for a comeback or for the win you will be reveling in that animation. Plus I wouldn't rule out new X-Ray attacks or stage fatalities through updates or DLC.

I understand your apprehension, but I think it will not be an issue in the full game. Though if anything I see a lot of people using Scorpion/Sub-Zero in the game just like Ryu/Ken in Street Fighter. Which can be tiresome.

Honestly, x-rays are easy to dodge if you know what that characters x-ray looks like. For example, on johnny cages x-ray you must smack him for his to start, if you see it coming, you can jump back and his x-ray is null. Im pretty sure everyone's is gonna be like that. Its just watching out for it. Putting block up at the right time and all that biz.

 I’ve been playing a lot of the Mortal Kombat demo to see if I like it.  It’s really good, but I do have some concerns.   The biggest apprehension I have are the x-ray moves.   At first, they were awesome, but as time progressed and I grew to be a better player they became easier to pull off.  This in and of itself is not bad, but they become horrifically repetitive far too quickly.   It’s the same cinema every time.  I know what will happen every time.

I understand the purpose of super moves, and I love them in other games like Super Street Fighter 4, but damn, the x-ray moves have me questioning this purchase.   Maybe it’s the graphic style, but I almost dread doing them. Do any of you feel the same way?
