NetherRealm Studios has released the latest patch notes for its fighting game Mortal Kombat 1. The update makes a number of changes to various characters, such as Havik, Kung Lao, and Sub-Zero, while improving general gameplay.

There's now been a correction on move lists, and localizations have been fixed. You'll also no longer have to fear some of Stryker's and Sektor's attacks being unblockable. Additionally, the error that allowed player two to push their opponent further away from them in certain combos has also been fixed.

In addition to these gameplay updates, there are some changes coming to specific characters. Now, whenever Havik performs Decaying Gaurd, it'll no longer auto-face their opponents. Kung Lao will now auto-face enemies when Kung-Kussion is done correctly. Character changes weren't limited to the main cast either. There's a handful of Kameo characters that are also receiving some changes.

Shujinko can no longer use Mimic Ice Klone and Ice Ball back-to-back after Time Stop has hit an opponent. Jax's Ground Pound and Goro's Stomp attack will now be a higher priority whenever a player attacks hit on the same frame.

Listed below are the official patch notes:
