If a string can be interrupted, you know it will with dat xray/uppercut. It's so weird and random. I use marksmen erron black a lot and I'll have absolute casuals interrupt gun cancels and gun swings with upper cut and xray or whatever buttons they happen to be jamming the shit out if. Its crazy! They have 0 respect for anything me, you, or anyone else iscapable of doing with any character lol. Absolutely 0 fucks given haha
The worst is losing a game because of a random D2 or xray

I swear X-Rays are unblockable... I usually get hit trying to run up and do a mixup and out of nowhere wake up X-Ray. Every. Time.

It's always like: *Me doing my oki stuff* *WAKEUP XRAY* "Sshiiiiit, alright still got a good amou-*UPPERCUT* I cry.
Exactly this!!!

I also get super salty when ppl play characters with good combo potential but then just uppercut, for example, just seeing a mileena online constantly do roll > uppercut just annoys the shit out of me even if im winning (which I should be against that lol) xD

Sometimes i feel like the only thing most online players practice in training mode is D2 and Xray. And online that mess is a legit strategy if i ever saw one.

Oh and Slide. Somehow people think thats either unblockable or safe on block O__o

How often do you get hit by X-rays?
I have been playing USF4 since 7 years and I almost never get hit by any random ultras except it is either
- a hit confirmed combo that leads to an ultra
- a punish when I whiff a SRK for instance
- a well done ultra on reaction vs a fireball for instance
- a tricky setup which is hard to see / to block on time

but other than that I usually never got hit by any random ultras over the last 7 years. Maybe in less than 1% of the cases I got hit by
any of those random ultras because I was playing too reckless.
But in MKX from out of 1500+ games played I got hit 96%+ of the time by random x-rays and I only block / avoid them 4% of the time.
I am just asking this out of curiosity, does anyone else getting hit by random x-rays so often?
Or is it just me being a rly bad player getting hit by any of those?

Thanks for reading.
I am exactly the same.

I feel that since SF4 is a relative old game, the players who still play are those who take it seriously, want to be good at it and know what's smart and what isn't (generally speaking). MKX is all new, so there's a lot of players out there who are just getting their feet wet and honesty don't know how the game is supposed to be played. They just want to land that flashy X-ray.

I played somebody today who obviously didn't know what to do or how to respond to what I was doing. I even tried to open myself up a little 'cause I felt like a bully :D He just did X-ray when he could and armored through my string - he didn't land anything else.
