General/Other - Ermac [EO Beta] Ermac Beta Thread

[Undeadmatrix4]

It wasn't just reo though. It was reo vs honeybee who is one the best mkx players. Not only that but it was buffed dvorah too who may be a top candidate for top 5 characters . You guys should give mystic a chance . If reo and honeybee were having good sets when honeybee was using his main I think it's safe to say mystic is being overlooked

Don't worry, I'll be playing mystic all day trying to get used to him. I'd love to play him competitively but I'm just questioning his tools vs. mos. he has no projectile but that was fixed with his bf2 being a lot safer and his bf2 can anti air almost anything. Even though it's -14 it has good range so it's hard to punish unless you have a quick range move like sub or kung lao. I'll definitely be giving mystic a try cause I've always wanted to but he's always been garbage until now

I think Mystic will be good. So good that I'll pick him up.

 

[Undeadmatrix4]

The set between honeybee and reo

 

[colby4898]

His bf2 is -14 and his exbf2 is -1 which both got huge block adv. increases

what about his recovery on bf2 and db1?
Is db1 still the same on block?

@zaf hadn't you gone to the way of Shinnok ? Have recent updates brought you back to Ermac completely or are you just testing things ?

I do play and main shinnok. I am most likely not going back to ermac. I am just testing and playing in the beta right now.

 

[Undeadmatrix4]

his db1 is still the same and I cant remember what their recovery is but when I was playing him it seemed pretty quick. The only time it wiffs is if the opponent is too far away or they teleport and its really hard to punish unless you have a fast, full screen move like kenshi or anyone with a teleport so the only way to punish is to teleport.

He just needs better dmg >.>

He just needs better dmg >.>

yeah his damage is lacking. I still think either mos or spectral is the best variation but mystic seems like he actually has a use now

 

[Tokiwartoothxdk]

Mystic is much much better now

 

[omooba]

Spectral boyz. I hated doing levitate cause it always looked like I was teabagging. Now I don't have to worry about that.

how is that a down side lol i lietrally always uffered it just cus it looks like i was tbagging

 

[omooba]

Mystic ermac looks cool af but he was unplayable before. With the lack of a practice mode I cant experiment but maybe you guys found anything cool about him.

still trash but usuable i guess all he needs is a projectile imo if he's supposed to be about space control why doesn't he have one

 

[PPJ]

his damage is comparable to MoS. level up ur combos

 

[P3irce]

Idk about

idk about you but if honeybee is saying that mystic Ermac is possibly top 10 I'm gonna say he's not trash

 

[ArmedCalf]

From what I hear around he's damn good

 

[RM Truth]

if he was unplayable that means he was literally unselectable or crashed the game, i think the vocab choice is a bit off

Braun Strowman sucks.

 

[RM Truth]

Mystic always seemed fine to me. All he really needed was a safer push which he has now.

 

[Geoffmeister]

The damage difference is still over 5% midscreen and 10% corner. Which is a non-issue, imo. Mystic can convert off more situations than Spectral or MoS meterless (such as, JIK's on standing opponents, or an Air Soul Blast)

Also, he gets -1 on block unfuzzyable mixups for a bar (which grants him health and drains meter on hit for 18%~). That's pretty good.

 

[GAV]

MOS has more tools and does better damage. Just tweak the damage scaling on Tele-Hang and it will be viable.

Mystic Ermac is like Balanced though. They both gets lots of hate. Most will just posture rather than admit they could use some help. Without it, they're not at all viable.

what are these MoS midscreen and corner combos that are supposedly 5-10% more? and from what starter

 

[UsedForGlue]

I think anyone having a -1 Armoured move that pushes them full screen can't be too terrible.

Plus, his F43 being safe is a big deal now.

have a lot of respect for honeybee but dude just cus a top player says the character is good doesn't mean they are. remember the abysmal tremor?
all i'm saying is he didn't get much and i really hate this patch cus they gave ferra/torr a lot fo unnecessary buffs and i'm pretty sure he's gonna get nerfed to hell soon

 

[juicepouch]

What is mystic's gimmick? Not the soul ball and not flying, what does he do?

 

[PPJ]

also non mystic specific but i'm assuming people know about the new b12 conversion after grounded tele right? or are ppl dumdums
