To block in Mortal Kombat 1, hold the 'Back' button (away from your opponent) or the designated 'Block' button, depending on your control setup. Blocking reduces damage from incoming attacks but be careful—it won't save you from throws or unblockable moves!
Blocking's a breeze. Just hold the designated block button (usually 'R2' on PlayStation, 'RT' on Xbox, or 'ZL' on Switch).
Trust me, blocking's a game-changer. Hold 'Back' to block if you're using classic controls. Saved my life countless times!
