Enhanced Special Moves in Gameplay[]
To use an enhanced special move, the player must press the block button as he/she finishes inputting the command for the special move they want to upgrade. Enhanced Moves require a bit more strategy and timing to pull off due to their limited use, but when used correctly, can shave a great deal of health off the opponent. Enhanced Moves that target the ground can also damage enemies already downed from an attack so as to tack on a bit more damage. An example is Sub-Zero's known Ice Ball, which, when enhanced, fires off a concentrated beam of ice that doubles the freeze time on the opponent.
