A patch was planned to be released on Tuesday for Mortal Kombat 9, but for one reason or another it was pushed back. That same patch has gone live today, with many of the patch notes detailed by Tom Brady in full effect. Smoke no longer being able to OTG with his smoke bomb among other major game changes are now active, though it's yet to be seen if the two major tournaments this weekend -- CEO2011 and ReveLAtions -- will utilize the patch.

Beyond that, readers on Test Your Might are reporting that the netkode has been improved as well. Of course this is somewhat subjective so we'll have to wait a bit longer to see if any major changes were made resulting in smoother netplay.

For a list of the changes that are included in this patch, check out this post that will give you the full rundown.

Thanks to Test Your Might for the tip.
