Some fighting game fans have a favourite side to play on, whether it’s the left of the screen on the Player 1 side or the right of the screen as Player 2. While there is normally no gameplay advantage that comes from starting on either side, some players find input commands easier from the left or right. But when it comes to Mortal Kombat 1, it turns out there’s a very good reason to pick Player 1.<\/p>\n

YouTuber mrAPchem published a video<\/a> demonstrating how Player 1 can perform some combos Player 2 cannot. mrAPchem showed this issue affecting chilly Mortal Kombat veteran Sub-Zero, but it turns out it affects every character in the game across all modes and in all versions. In short: Player 2 cannot connect some combos.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a significant bug, one that has sparked shock within the Mortal Kombat 1 community, especially those into the competitive multiplayer side of the game. Thankfully, \u201cPlayer 1 advantage\u201d is now listed on publisher Warner Bros. Games\u2019 Mortal Kombat 1 bug tracking website<\/a> under the \u201cin progress\u201d section, which suggests developer NetherRealm is on the case.<\/p>\n
