I dont mind the powered up specials, im just bothered with the, way to easy to pull of X-ray move. I dont like that mechanism, when the loosing party who by all accounts should loose, makes a cheap win because of an x-ray, on the edge of defeat. And I dont like having someone on 5% HP, while I am on say 40% winning cause of that. Just as long as they got the first hit in, they might have that x ray meter filled up faster then me, cause of the damage I did, and the special spamming they do. Yeah so you have them on lov hp, and what, you cant attack, cause of the possibility of that damn x ray? for me it ruins the flow of the match. so im forced into a defensive play when im at 40% and he is at 5% cause he got a filled up meter?And also the x rays themselves, while cool looking, they take soooo much of the tempo out of the game, like it wasint enough to not include a run button, now they have slowmo moves aswell? ugh.
That upcoming release of ultimate mortal kombat on PSN is looking to be a real contender for my prefered MK to play online.
Ah. Well way I see it, if a dying opponent manages to defeat you at the last second due to an x-ray comeback, then more often than not, it's your fault for not being able to predict it. I'm usually able to block or dodge when an opponent attempts to x-ray me, as I keep an eye on their supermeter while fighting them. It's not that hard to counter. Sometimes the enhanced specials can be cheaper than the x-rays themselves, depending on how they're used.
As for making it possible to play without x-rays or supermeters altogether, guess I wouldn't mind that. They should make it a gameplay mode online, if nothing else.
Still don't see what you ever saw in that run button in the previous games, as it was always obsolete to me, but whatever. >.>
I already have Ultimate MK3 due to getting it on the arcade marketplace before it was taken off, but not many people hardly play it online anymore currently. Guess I can expect that to change though when it (along with MK1 and MK2) come out in a bundle, assuming it's gonna be that same MK3 I already bought at one point. >_o

Anyways Ed Boon n' co. will be looking to rebalance the game with some nerfs here and there depending on the tourney scene. I hope other characters show their potential for Kung Lao and Cyrax's sake. It is too soon to start screaming nerfs, but they are intend on nerfing what is necessary. Kind of sucks because the meta game is not developed yet but oh well.
I never saw as much a problem with Kung Lao and Cyrax and I have with Smoke and some others, but if there are gonna be some necessary nerfs to them, then I have no problems with that. Some characters need nerfing, more than others. Yeah, it is kind of unfortunate that the meta-game hasn't been allowed to fully develop before some changes are made (like with marvel vs crapcom 3), but the way I see, the sooner the necessary modifications are made, the better the online play will become eventually.
