You have to activate it mid-air

You need to do it in the air, as far as I know.

D'Vorah has the same mid-air x-ray ....if you miss hit the character during mid-air the x-ray will not succesfully work ....that's one reason not to play online with D'Vorah ...but some players use her to spam powers..hahahah ..the same goes for Takeda ....

Not the same thing. D'vorah's xray can be activated on the ground. It's telegraphed like hell (you can see it coming a mile away), but it can also connect to an opponent on the ground; they don't have to be midair. You just have to do it far enough away. If you're too close, you'll fly over top of them. Takeda's xray can ONLY be activated while in the air.

It doesn't say ingame in the movelist that it is Air...?

I dont even use x-rays, waste of 3 bars.

But for casuals sure, if you say so.

Yes, I was making a point to the OP :P

"Casuals". How wonderfully elitist of you.
90% of situations I do agree with you, but as a combo'd into finisher on 2nd round etc it can work well, especially on some chars, should you have the meter for some reason (I rarely do, I save for combos punishes armor and escapes).

Unless it is guaranteed to win you the match, X-rays are pretty much useless.

I like using them for a health advantage sometimes.

I find myself using EX moves and Breakers too often to even get 3 bars filled.

It's all mathematics. Xray does a certain number of damage. But 3 EX-specials in combos can easily do more, allow for more. And offer armored escapes etc, or good punishers on reversals and so on. You give up some nice options for a decent "nuke" attack Usually not worth it.
And online, if someone see you holding on to meter when full, theyll just bait you into wasting your xray, and just block it.

Idk, I can get a pretty good 35% and 40% combo using one meter as Johnny Cage. X-Rays usually hit around that much as well. You really want to hold onto at least two, lest you end up being the ones that complain on the forum about cheap moves and combos.

Xrays are a noob trap. Anytime someone uses an xray outside of the 1% of times its useful expenditure of meter, I know I'm going to have another free win.

I wish xrays didn't exist, because all it does is prevent people from getting better. And if you are going to waste your bar on a low damage xray for gods sake stop doing it on wakeup. People get so desperate online lol

Seriously stop using them. Use the meter on combo and block string breakers or ex moves. Otherwise I'll just 40% you all day since you wasted it all
