Question - Sonya Blade Sonya's Secret X-Ray Brutality

PROKTOR

I don't remember which, but it was one of the NRS streams.
derek finished the round with an x-ray which ended up being a brutality.
they went on to say that mkx was going to have a lot of secrets
Wow. Well then, I'm sure everyone has an x-ray brutality. I hope to find the mileena video somewhere... I'm going to do more testing this weekend and try to crack this brutality and when I do, I'll post the updated requirements and move on to mileena and others...

It's a very satisfying brutality, have pulled it off occasionally but no clue how.

I initially assumed it was attached to the garotte this brutality but have confirmed that is not the case,

So far I've pulled it off with more than and less than 50% health in the final round. Opponent usually has less than 25% health in the round.
Doing 10 hit combos has no effect on the brutality working.

I'll keep experimenting with perhaps using a garrote reversal in the final round will enable it.

I have a footage of me pulling off the secret brutality. I'll upload it sometime tonight. We can compare notes and see what the requirements are in order for it to be pulled off.

Ive tested it out in Kustom Kombat

and I dont know if it can work in this mode but the other xrays do,

I've tried the following and it hasnt worked,
Both less and more than 50% life
stage interaction (more than 5)
10+ hit combos
using the xray earlier in the match
Using a garrotte reversal
first hits in both rounds

maybe I have to be holding down or I;ve got to hold front, I did it again in Ranked against a Cassie Cage, but that stupid "match replay" keeps telling me there is an error.

I'll crack it tonight. I don't believe I did any stage interactions to pull it off.

Here's the video. I'll compare it with the NRS stream to see what is necessary.
I got the first hit in the first round.
Didn't lose a round.
Got under 50% in the 2nd round.
X-ray killed opponent on the last hit.
Did a 10+ hit combo.
Not sure if those are the requirements, so I'll test it out now.

okay so i was able to replicate it again in this dummy match.
I know for sure that you don't need to be under 50% health. Don't need to have the last hit in the xray kill. Trying to see similarities with it.
Here's a video I found but it doesn't have all the criteria. Holding forward seems to work in my dummy match video but I don't remember holding forward against my Kung Lao opponent. Can anyone spot or see similiarities?

I think you do it the instant you're gonna get hit, my friend and I tested this, and we would always get it when the timing was right when we were about to get hit, the question is, how long can it be active for the brutality to occur?

The only thing I can note in similarity is

1) opponent's life was less than the stamina bar

2) on both occasions there was more than sixty seconds in the final round when you finished the opponent .

3) The opponent gets caught in.the xray almost immediately after execution, the players this worked against for me also were properly caught one performing an air attack the other a high punch.

I will compare it to my match replays if the game gives me a chance.

I think I got it....I made a video from it:


Summary:
Can lose a round
Does not have to get first hit advantage on either round
Do not have to get 10+ hit combo
Health does not matter in any of the rounds
Need to hold "down forward" between hits 5 and 6 during the x-ray while the opponent is being hurled into the ground. See freeze frame in the video.

I'll test it out when I have time but that would make sense I tend to press the directional buttons hard occasional during an Xray in case of follow up.

Thanks for all your efforts!

You think you bad? You aint bad.
And this is why i love MK.
I hate being handed all the cool stuff you can find out. However finding the circumstances are rough.
Some require certain moves to be done or hit. Some require distance. Gotta push certain sequences or mash buttons as the move is going :eek:
This is actually really cool. I wonder what else we could find:eek:
Starting to look like the old '92 days of finding em out heheh

I did this X-Ray brutality a few times, but I'm not exactly sure how. I know I was pressing down repeatedly while going through the X-Ray animation. I'm not sure if there are other requirements that must be met also, but I did this pretty consistently yesterday.

I was using her Demolition variation. Not sure if that matters.

I tested it out by holding down forward and it didnt work, it worked for me when I was holding forward and block, sometimes only block by itself. Maybe when you first execute the Xray tap forward and block immediately.

I wasn't holding block at all. But it looks like it may be timing specific. I pressed down forward when the opponent is actually thrown into the ground. Don't press it when he's still over Sonya's head. It seems like you have to press down and hold forward the same time the opponent is going down and forward.

i did by only holding block and forward. can you do it consistently?

I never touched the block button. I'm pretty sure of this because I use a joystick. I had my right hand on my ps4 controller to trigger the jab from the player 2 side, and then i just held down forward for the portion of the x-ray with my left. Maybe it is just forward at a specific frame during the xray.

Did it again last night in a match without pressing block. I'm almost convinced that you just have to hold DF only between hits 5 and 6 BUT you have to time it just right before the opponent hits the ground.

I did it again and I was pressing very hard on forward repeatedly like a mad person, maybe its got something to do with the opponents life i noticed it usually works when the opponents is at 15-20% life?

I did this after placing my controller down, and exact timing of opponent striking you so I don't know about the holding forward thing. It's very frustrating that we still have no concrete thing, but only more and more possible requirements.. It's tough. I can never get it more than three times in a row

It might have something to do with forward + block. Because I remember doing in in an online match and As I landed my X-ray I was gonna try and combo after it. Therefore, I was spamming ff+block to run and combo. Next thing I know it was a brutality
