About Raiden's new X-Ray:

Woooow. That was something new for sure, to say the least. I was ready to say "I like the idea of an X-Ray for each variation, but I think it'd be more interesting if it was one fatality for each one" before I watched the video. In fact, about a month ago I had created a thread to know how many fatalities would each fighter have, and if each of them would be related to a variation, which I doubted.

But going back to the X-Ray thing. That new one looks awesome, but I honestly don't think there'll be one for each variation. Like you said, MKRedemption19180, the new X-Ray seems to be related to Raiden's Displacer fatality. But if that's true, what variation would his previous X-Ray be related to? Thunder God or Master of Storms? It doesn't remind me of any of them. It's not that I don't want both X-Rays in the game, as I really consider both of them awesome, but doesn't it make more sense that the new one was invented just to replace the former one.

And talking about Raiden's X-Ray, how do you escape from that thing? All Raiden has to do to begin the attack is firing massive lighting to both directions, and the lightning seems to be too intense to be blocked. That is, if you're standing on the floor, you get hit; if you're blocking, you get hit; if you're crouching, you get hit. The only way to avoid it seems to be jumping, but he does it so fast that it gives you almost no time to think about doing that. How am I going to play against Raiden without always getting hit by his X-Ray?
