NetherRealm Studios has a big new update available for Mortal Kombat 1, which adds a long-requested quality-of-life feature: tagging moves. Players can now tag moves from the Move List to the screen, making it easier to practice them. The Move Last will also remember if Advanced View is enabled and return to the last used tab.
Other changes include removing difficulty selection in Endless Tower and online leaderboards in Klassic Towers. There are also voice chat options for muting other players, an in-game indicator for ping and connection, and Forever King Mode for Online King of the Hill. Several fixes for visual issues that occurred when Brutalities were performed have also been fixed, along with one that cut off clash dialogue too quickly.
Invasion Mode will also be happy to hear that Ambushes have a lower chance to trigger and armor has been adjusted on common enemies. Super Armor also no longer reduces damage, meaning fewer tanky foes. Check out some of the patch notes below and full details here.
