so you learned that now,fack!!!!!!

Why is it that my b1, 2, f1 combo always whiffs on the last hit in the corner?

Nevermind. I got it.

I figured out that crazy corner combo. It seems too finicky to use in an actual match. The timing is super strict. It's hard as shit but fun.

I reduced it to just two b1, 2, f1's and I can land it much more consistently.

If you want I could get some of the combos together then you could use them to edit the OP.

Tell me if there's anything missing, I guesstimated on some of these combos since I wrote most of them from memory.

Unbreakable Combos:
(Any single combo-able normal~)TKS, TKP 16%-(19%)

Breaker Avoidance/Mix-ups
TKS, Dash under, +*, TKS 27%
*Can be done with a dash under Jump-Kick~Teleport Punch for same damage.

The way in which Ermac's normals and comboing specials work allows some wiggle room for most combos, so if one combination seems too hard you can always replace a normal or special
( TKS) to make a combo easier.

Any combo that excludes double Teleport Punches after a TKS can be ended with + for a standing reset that leaves you at around +13 advantage.

I'm sure I didn't "discover" this, but I have a method for the popular corner combo that is slightly less damaging but far more consistent.

JiP, 3, 1 TKL, Teleport, b1, 2, f1 ~ b1, 2, f1 ~ 2, 2, TKP.

46% damage.

I always have trouble with the height on the b1, 2, f1. With this combo you just start the chain right after your teleport hits.

Palette, that tech is in the complete ermac guide
