I am taking a week off for when MKX drops.
I also love to cook for people too. Breakfast is also my favorite meal. I think we can definitely set up a breakfast date.


Destroyed the nicks. But they don't like to listen.
Ecodus is getting way better at MK9. He listens and takes advice which is all I can ask for. He understands the counterpoking game now.
Charlie is like the opposite of Edocus and plays solitaire fighting games. Which is random as fuck sometimes and makes it hard to play against.... I guess the random does help to an extent.
Ive been playing kenshi. I felt my ermac was a little rusty because of this. Which makes me sad. So all of this week I have just been practicing and in the lab with him to get my technical back up and shake off the rust.

EDIT: playing with ecodus on sunday made me remember like 1000000x footsie tools and options I have as ermac. So it has actually been a lot of fun getting back into him 100%. Saturday gunna be fun!!


Im down. Jer and I have a 3rd.
Damn...forgotten about....

I knew I fucked up. But the good thing is, if you were fucking up as bad as nick squared then I would of had to mention you.
Your characters are good as always. A little rusty but we all are.

LOL, just teasing. I hadn't picked up MK in a looooooooooooooooong time. Was good shit though, I learned a bunch. Sub v Ermac is super fun.
 

Ecodus

I ain't got time to bleed.
@CanadianBaconX what are the chances that you have skarlet make an appearance?
I agree, you playing Sindel is even more idiotic than me playing CW. But Selina is hot.

Also, we playing on sat. You bodied me pretty good with Sindel last time we played MK if I remember.

I'm not saying his sindel is bad. Its more of the characters he is playing against. Sindel is put into so many situations she has no answer for.

Fuck off, I'm not grumpy
Who were you using in the past?
Raiden and Sub were my "mains", but if I really think of how I was playing back then to what it is now... well it's almost like I never really mained anyone.

I absolutely love playing with Shang, mostly because I'm comfortable with any character so my soul steals actually do something rather than zone and a bit of damage. I just have trouble with consistently pressuring with F4 UpSkull, which (from what I gather) is one of his major pressure tools.

I'm decent with a whole bunch of characters, but I'd probably say Johnny is my best "technically". I'm really interested to see your Ermac again zaf, and see what you think of my footsies, pokes/counter-pokes, and pressure game. I just hate the fact that you have a low hitbox so my F33 EXforce ball will go over your head...

F33 forceball is not due to a low hitbox. Just some funky shit in the game.
You are suppose to use like 13 ex forceball ? not sure, but i recognize the string
everything else cage has, ermac has to sit in.

Im rusty with mac, but I have been working on it....I was using kenshi for the longest time.

I always thought it was due to some hitbox height issues. It happens on Reptile, Ermac, and a few others. I'll investigate 1 3 ex forceball, but I thought the actual forceball was the issue and not the initial string.

I remember you were mentioning a while ago that Ermac's D3 had potential for stuffing Cage's F3. Is this true? Also, I'm almost certain it was you... but maybe not haha

D3's can stuff it, but it's a read more than anything. And forceball whiffs just on certain characters because MK9 is a dumb game. I look forward to playing with you again dude

D3 goes under and can poke but its not only ermac. Its not ex force all its the string
So F33 is what is making it bug? Should I 2 1 EX Forceball? We will find out soon enough... hehe

Me too jer! My friend Chris will be coming too (Canadian Bacon knows him well). Zaf, he's an aspiring Ermac player.
