Match Footage - Ermac ERMAC Revealed via NetherRealm Studios stream for Mortal Kombat X

Pretty sure Paulo has stated throw techs will be like MK9
I like the idea of my opponent having to deal with a mixup between going for breaker and having to tech the throw

Ermac looks sick, I can't wait. Used him as a secondary in UMK3, MKD, and MK9

You can combo break the throw

That lift where he leaves you in the air...

Kindred said:

Agreed!

I'm probably one of the few here that hasnt played injustice. So to me this flying reminds me of nobody except than MKX Ermac

Nah. There's plenty here that hasn't played IGAU including me. But that flying only reminds you of Ermac ?? Don't you know a certain MK character called Sindel ? She could float as far back as MK3.

Good to see im not alone lol
When I say flying I mean as means of just moving on the screen like instead of a standard walking.

Cassie Cage is also looking better in the character select screen.

Her model's been updated now. You can see a tiny bit of it in motion here:

Well well... Look who decided to show up. I loved everything i saw except his fatalities. His spectral var seems very interesting. April cant come fast enough! Really glad my main is back, thats all i have to say.

I feel like I'd be a lot more hype for Ermac if they'd shown some more (well, any) of Kitana and Rep. I mean he's cool and all, but seeing him and not the characters I was really excited for...yeah, I'm butthurt and not ashamed of it. Really interesting variations though, and I don't understand how people are dissing the floating. Yeah, a bunch of dudes did it in Injustice, and Ermac's doing it too. But it makes sense, and within the context of Mortal Kombat, still makes him pretty unique.

Kung Lao, on the other hand....dude is looking mean. I've always liked Kung Lao, but never picked him up because I just liked other characters more. But this time around, that throw, that X-ray, those variations, the mad style on everything he does, I'm lovin' it. As much as I love Kano, I think Kung might be my new favorite returning character, at least until we finally DO see some Reptile.

I'm glad that he made it. Although I expected him to be more like what he was on that "fanart" from Netherrealm's artist.

And damn, give his posture more intent! He floats like a neglected marionette hanging from the celling.
Speaking of floating...

My thoughts:

Awesome stream:

Ermac looks awesome.

Fuck the haters, you suck and nobody cares what you think.

I don't believe Ermac is "evil" but confused as he has Kahn's soul and Jerrod's, hence him saying "We oppose the Emperor"

LOL@ people saying Ermac is the top tier in the streams!

Kung Lao still looks annoying as fuck.

Sub-Zero getting a really big Kuai Liang vibe from him, Bi-Han's style wouldn't say "yet you have no heart" when he sure as hell didn't even as Sub-Zero before Noob.

New stage is cool.

Ermac fucking owns! I shall main him again!

The funny thing is I used Ermac in MK9 and Hawkgirl in Injustice when I played injustice haha, that's fate telling me "You must use Ermac again!" lol

Ermac has a good overhead and lowstarter this time! Yes.

That fatality=just wrong.

Prepare to be zoned!

Yo I dont like the fact that he is floating around in his stance like Black Adam and Supes does but I will get used to it. but I like for him to stay on the ground like in MK9.

I'm so fucking glad they dropped the ninja look for Ermac and went with a more warlock style.

I like his design minus the face, would of wanted him to be more mysterious.

I really liked Kotals intro vs Kung Lao:

"I will kill you for sport".

Also....what's up with Cutthroat Kano having the red heart/eye now?

I do believe Sindel could do that. I didn't play her at all in MK9 but she certainly did that in MK3.

Edit: oh sorry I just got what you meant . You're talking about his general hovering right ? Not his variation. But then why does that remind you of Ermac in MK9 ?

She could sort of dash in the air but that was it. This is like HAwkgirl where Ermac can move in all directions, not just forward/back. Plus he can attack out of it, which SIndel couldnt do.

No no I said he reminds me of MKX ermac lol as in when I see him I just see MKX ermac, not injustice characters

Also correct me if Im wrong but sindel's moving in the air wasnt that useful. I rarely ever saw someone using it

Yeah. I didn't exactly get what he was saying so...

@Kindred I'm sorry I didn't get you. Now I do. you're right.

It was super slow and super punishable. You could try and cover yourself with a fireball but that was pretty much it.

NRS in a nutshell ladies and gentlemen.

I thought the stream was awesome and I love the new design of Ermac.

Love this new old man Kung Lao. He's looking really good. I see him having setup for days with swag combos.

God job NRS, this game keeps looking better and better.

Click to expand...

Oh by far from all of the older characters, Kano and Kung Lao are looking mighty interesting. More so than the Ermac reveal.

He looks scary af. def gonna main him again!!

i think they made laos tele 3 a true high now, which would change a lot. (still once he has a hat on the screen he gets in for free). also if teh normal hat has huge regovery, lao has no OP zoning in Addition to superb rushdown capabilities an might not be op

Did they also say something about Sheeva before the stream started?
