The helicopter is from Cyrax
One of the most discussed topics in the latest update 0.134 is the change to Cyrax’s horizontal helicopter attack.

Ice clone EX of Sub-Zero
Even the icy cold Sub-Zero does not remain unaffected. His EX Ice Clone ability no longer freezes enemies. Instead, it now deals damage and causes opponents to fall to the ground. This mod adds a new dynamic to battles with Sub-Zero.
Raiden’s aerial combo
Raiden’s air set 2,2,4 is also changed. Removed the following attack that previously occurred after hitting enemies on the ground. This change may change combo strategies for Raiden fans.
