- Takeda (Ronin) – incorporates a new move - "Quick Kall" (Down, Towards, Front Punch) which allows the dropped blade to quickly return even while not making an attack.
- Shinnok (Impostor) – is now able to control the location of a stolen Goro Stomp.
- Sub-Zero (Grandmaster) – proper scaling is now possible on Ice Klone combos made towards a grounded opponent.
- General – Regular or command grab- "throws" will sometimes not connect on a grounded opponent off a counter hit.
