It shares the same input as "whip strike" in his Lasher variation, which is that crazy anti-air move.

That aa special is terrifying

Wait a minute... Ermac is not Edenian..

I thought Ermac was a bunch of Edenian souls in a man suit, the leader of which is Jerrod the former king of Edenia.

 

[Endding]

NRS dont want to show yellow people anyway.

No gameplay for Tanya, Cyrax and Hsu Hao so far.
Hate against yellow people is the true racism here

There goes the Dvorah breakdown.

Yeah you are kind of correct. In the original timeline, Ermac was fused together by Outworld souls. In the new timeline, he is formed with Edenian souls. Either way, his origin is still Outworld.

 

[Pterodactyl]

I'd still say he's technically Edenian being that he is made of Edenian souls.

 

[theend1114]

I mean, I guess you could say that. I just never heard anyone refer to him as Edenian, especially since no one in game identifies him as one. That is kind of like saying Mileena is Edenian because she is a clone of Kitana, even though she lives in Outworld.

Didn't you see Ermacs MK9 ending?

 

[Hexin_Wishes]

I didn't think Ermac was Edenian but I did think Mileena was (though wouldn't she have been one in the old timeline though?). The more you know...

 

[theend1114]

You mean the non-canon ending? Yeah I saw it. I don't think you guys are understanding my point, but its okay.

 

[trufenix]

Ermac's everybody Shao Kahn's beat, including himself somehow, which would mean he's also a bunch of D'vorah's people, and peopel from every other realm he's merged.

 

[Rice]

Yes Ermacs MK9 ending isnt canon but it looks they are going with King Jerrod as one of Ermacs souls in MKX.

In one of the intro dialogues between Kitana and Ermac he says "We know you".

Also Mileena isnt Edenian in the new timeline.

"@Deano_Wray @noobde any clues what to expect Friday ? EB: AC/DC

 

[Hexin_Wishes]

Who would essentially be "back in black" though?

EDIT: OOOOOHHHH! "Guns For Hire". OK.

 

[sling1414]

Who would essentially be "back in black" though?

Well jax is back, and hes well you know....

 

[Macdaddy]

Or maybe thunderstruck = thunder god.. but we know of him... hmm, highway to hell...shinnok ?? or maybe its just a big trailer playing ACDC

 

[Kombat Chef]

Erron black

 

[TopTierHarley]

Well looking at AC /DC. If he means the band, then we could look at album titles. Like Back in BLACK, I guess. If we look at it literally it could be about Raiden, or since it's an Australian band it could be about Kano all shall be revealed on Friday
Oh let's not forget Highway to Hell ft. Shinnok on drums

 

[Hexin_Wishes]

I just looked at their singles discography and saw they released one called "Guns for Hire" and another called "Big Gun".

Erron it must be then.

 

[REDRUM]

with the AC\DC clue it can be anything but here is my wild guess....


more Tremor news? "Dirt" cheap

or

"Rock"

 

[Alright RyRy]

The best AC / DC Song.

Shoot to thrill, play to kill
Too many women with too many pills
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
I got my gun at the ready, gonna fire at will
'Cause I shoot to thrill, and I'm ready to kill
I can't get enough, I can't get the thrill
I shoot to thrill, play to kill
Yeah, pull the trigger
Pull it,

Pull it, pull it, pull the trigger

I would say Erron Black likes to pull the trigger.

 

[SaltShaker]

I was passive on who it might be, until now. Looks like Erron Black will be shown.

 

[FlareGun]

Back In Black is an AC/DC song, erron black?

 

[REDRUM]

yea Back in Black seems like a great clue...

Gotta be Erron Black or dare I say...................... "Boon Tobias" (spelled backwards)? @Wemfs

 

[Youphemism]

AC/DC are Scottish so I think they're going to show off a new Scottish character that they've not revealed yet

 

[Fred Marvel]

It's definitely Erron Black the last clue that coulda been Black Friday and this one AC/DC which probably mans back in black makes it pretty obvious and im stoked
