And thats why i m telling you that its not worth it. Just sacrifice a bar. Thats why they designed that string this way when its done in the corner. Cause it would require virtually no effort to do and the reward is great in terms of dmg. Trust me its fine the way it is atm.
KK :)

I m really happy that ppl from the US are finally starting to explore Ermac more. He is a really rewarding character if he is played correctly.

I STILL don't understand how someone who can shed so much blood with such finesse isn't in everyone's pocket.

I feel like I'm missing something.

Hitoshura playing Ermac would be an epic addition to the Many.
Man, if you can murder people in the face with Noob, just imagine the cheese you and Mac can make. Mmm.
Im planning on making him my third until end of evo season. If the hotfix comes out and noob doesn't get much to help him then Ermac might be my new main.

Very true...fucking Wakeup >_<. People rarely expect the jump back iAFB, so if I'm playing a rushdowner, I'll tech roll away and either poke out or iAFB to make room, but that two plus two doesn't always equal four...Quan has the same problem - he's a fucking machine until he ends up on the ground :(.
It'll be an intruguing pair, the two of you. He definitely seems more fitted to your spooky style.

Keep it Free.
I knew this already in December but i thought people already knew too. You know, if they were trying combos and accidentally teleported. But i like that you posted this.

In all honesty, Detroit's performance at the MLG arena made me start exploring him.

He's a really interesting character. A lot of players do really brush him off. *COUGH DEATH COUGH*

You know how B2 is cancel-able?

Well I was playing and when you backdash and b2 cancel it almost seems like it extends the dash going back further as if it was like 2 dashes. Also, when it is canceled you don't even see the start-up. All you hear is the noise.

Is this new or useful? It looks super fast and covers a lot of ground.

I'll try and post a video.

yes...if you do backdash and b2, the B2 is canceled very fast, that help to do a "doble backdash", but being a movement canceled you canot block instantly. I use that like a feint push.

The thread was probably taken in by the void that ate TYM, but yeah, K-Frog had posted a thread on it and called it frog hopping, it makes for some good baits and spacing.

yeah, apparently discovered by k-frog, hence the name.

I have yet to see him or anyone else use it in a tournament though. Then again, there are few Ermac's...

AdmiralAugustus, yeah this is known. I have been using this for a long time now. Its very good for baits but dont overuse it. Although you cannot block you can use any other normals or specials during the dash cancel though.
