A surprise update for Mortal Kombat 1 has been released by NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Games. The patch notes for the update have been released, detailing the changes that players can expect. The most important fix in this update is the correction to the Player 1 advantage that was previously seen. Additionally, there are move list corrections and character-specific fixes included.
In terms of gameplay, the update includes several changes. It addresses move list corrections, localization fixes, and fixes an issue related to certain combo sequences where Player 2 could push their opponent away further. There is also a fix for buffered Kombo Attacks Strings and buffered 2in1-cancelled non Enhanced Special Moves, ensuring they are performed correctly. Another notable fix prevents some attacks from Stryker and Sektor from being unbreakable. Furthermore, various character-specific issues have been resolved, such as moves passing through opponents and auto-facing adjustments.
The patch notes also mention specific changes and fixes for each character in the game. For instance, Ashrah’s God’s Wrath and Demon’s Wrath can now be high parried, while Baraka’s Death Spin can no longer be high parried. Other characters like Johnny Cage, Kenshi, Raiden, and Tanya have had adjustments made to specific moves regarding high parries.
