OK I searched and didn't find this anywhere but when you search Sub-Zero and Xray you are going to get just about every thread on this site so sorry if it has already been brought up but I was playing against a friend who is as quick on the buttons as I am and I noticed that if you hold in on Sub-Zeros Xray you can start it with his Ice Counter. Does anyone know if the other characters he different begins to their Xrays as well?

WHAAAAT?! How did I miss that. Brb.
 
fo'sho i brought this up in a thread somewhere on this board when the demo first came out; pretty sweet isnt it!
 
It is the same pose as the Ice Counter but if you get hit it just goes into the Xray. I don't think it makes it stronger does it? I have tried it with everyone on the demo now and the is no change or possibly charge for any of the other Xrays. Any one that played the Pax build know if the other characters have something like this?

no it doesn't make it stronger; just works like the ice counter if you hold it; it is also useful in combos when you have to delay the xray move for timing reasons.

his xray is the most versatile so far; but i think it does the least amount of dmg - not for sure though; 28% on its own [ i know johnny cages is 40% on its own; and i think mileena's and scorpions are in the 30's - i think ]
 
Subs X-ray is a tad weak IMO.

I mean cmon, if you got your stomach iced, and head crushed, you'd totally lose more then 28% of your health!

But nonetheless, it still looks bad ass.

I honestly thought though, holding it down did more damage D;

It seems "weak" because it's meant to be combo-ed into. Johnny's does so much because it's a counter you can't really combo into.

I see, well thanks for clarifiying that up.

I may have come off as a complete retard there, but in all honesty, I only tried sub-zero once. I'm more of a Nightwolf fan, but he wasn't in the demo, so I just use Scorpion. :turtle:
 
All the x ray moves are pretty powerful if used right. Johnny Cage's counter combo is pretty awesome because you can back-Front Kick, flip kick or enhanced flip kick and you can get a 50% combo off of just that. The other ones can be combo into to get big damage.
 
This isn't related to the gameplay aspect of the X-ray, but I thought I'd bring it up anyway. Does anyone else here experience slowdown on SZ's X-ray in the demo? Mostly when I combo into it, the sequence will slow down, with the A/V out of sync for the liver crush. The headbutt plays smoothly though.

Yeah It happens for me too. But I think It has been fixed In PAX build and def the final build.
 
So I'm confused. If I'm reading this right. When you hold down Sub-Zero's X-Ray he takes Icy Counter stance as such from MKvsDC (which to be honest when I was playing it I wanted the ice clone move but now that I have ice clone I want the icy counter lol) and that when hit while holding down the x-ray you will activate it automatically? Or is it just 'omg, he's using icy counter :D'
