Yeah, but Kano and Jax had to be close to you to do their X-Rays, and were relatively slow to do their first hits. This was made to compensate the fact that the first hits - the grab moves - were unblockable, so that you could have a chance to jump or step aside to avoid them, for example.

Raiden, on the other hand, can hit you from any point in the arena as long as you are standing on the ground. And you know, getting hit by the first strike means the whole X-Ray being performed on you. That's why I think it's ridiculously difficult to evade his X-Ray, unless the massive lightning can at least be crouched. Then it could be fair.
