With the latest Kombat Kast finished, the newest improvements to Mortal Kombat X were implemented.
The NetherRealm Studios crew promised the improvements that would come to Mortal Kombat X will buff up come characters that haven’t been seeing much gameplay. The days leading up to the Mortal Kombat X patch Twitch stream, the crew teased Kano and Jacqui would be getting buffs.
But before we get into that, check out the general gameplay fixes that will be added to Mortal Kombat X. You can see the entire patch notes, here .
General Gameplay fixes
Many move list corrections
Removed the ability to add extra inputs while doing a normal attack 2in1 cancel which allowed some characters to have the special move cancel only occur on hit / block
Removed the ability to have some specific input timings on a 2in1 cancel so it could come out on block but not come out on hit on some normal attacks
Removed the ability to option select execute a special move or throw reversal after block stun while still holding the block button
Removed the ability to option select execute a wakeup non enhanced special move attack, wakeup throw, or wakeup backdash while still holding down the block button
Slightly adjusted several characters collision regions while crouch blocking
Slightly adjusted several characters collision regions while attacking while jumping
Slightly normalized how far some characters get pushed back on stumble block animations
Fixed several jump attacks moving backwards slightly on hit
Fixed several attacks causing an extra frame of recovery when you blocked them ducking
So what about the specific Mortal Kombat X character changes?
They weren’t lying when they teased Jacqui Briggs players will be happy. A total of 19 changes were made to Jax’s daughter’s fighting style and fans will be happy.
And speaking of Jax, the big guy only got one change because he was a beast to begin with.
It’s an interesting list of improvements to Mortal Kombat X, which looks to elevate some lower tier characters and balance out others but we want to know what you think of the Mortal Kombat X patch notes.
