dont forget spectral ermac can also vanish whenever he wants. obviously characters with good air control seem not to be his favoured matchups, but baiting an air teleport with hover, then vanish to make it whiff and drop to punish sounds pretty hype to me.I'm going to jump aboard the Spectral Ermac bashing. This variation will be WRECKED by:
Anyone with an IAP
Anyone with an OH teleport
Anyone with a vertical projectile
Anyone with a Dive Kick
So that is:
Every Kenshi variation
Every Liu Kang variation
Every Mileena variation
Every Kung Lao variation
Half of Kung Jin variations
Scorpion.....
Anyone seeing a trend here?
Also invisible Reptile is laughibly stupid.
The vanish was actually another variation, master of souls I think?dont forget spectral ermac can also vanish whenever he wants. obviously characters with good air control seem not to be his favoured matchups, but baiting an air teleport with hover, then vanish to make it whiff and drop to punish sounds pretty hype to me.
does he not have it everywhere?The vanish was actually another variation, master of souls I think?
I think it's a universal but I can't be suredoes he not have it everywhere?

@THTB can explain. Invisible reptile can very possibly be a threat. Especially with force balls on screen, a low starter, and an overhead special move that goes over projectiles.i never understood why they put invisibility in 2D fighting games. not like it's gonna fool anyone or anything
Wow out is a Master of Souls tool. Now that variation looks great.dont forget spectral ermac can also vanish whenever he wants. obviously characters with good air control seem not to be his favoured matchups, but baiting an air teleport with hover, then vanish to make it whiff and drop to punish sounds pretty hype to me.
Invisibility completely removes the ability to see your opponent. You can't tell exactly where they are, so it's harder to space out your normals against theirs, and you cannot visually see what normal they may be throwing out. You don't know if they're ducking. If taken advantage of properly, invisibility is actually super fucked up. Even the camouflage that we've seen recently can make it hard to see exactly what is going on. That's why when you see players go invisible, their opponent will appear to panic and do something predictable such as a wakeup option as soon as they see invisibility. That loss of visibility is huge in fighting games.i never understood why they put invisibility in 2D fighting games. not like it's gonna fool anyone or anything

a sindel main from mk9 knows what to do with this stance.. i have already been dreaming up stuff. he has better moves then sindel.. so stuff like d,d,u, land into one of his specials is one thing. d,d,u into that charge move, we dont know if he has to be fully airborne to perform it but, something tells me he doesnt have to be in full flight.There's all so many variations we want to play, but which variations do you look at and think " that looks shitty"
For me:
1: spectral ermac: wtf is ermac gonna do flying around like a retard???is there something we don't know?? He doesn't have mace charge or mace throw. I can't see any1 liking this over the other 2, and when I see sigs with spectral ermac my noobdar begins to sound off on alert.
It's blind speculation...The problem with even comfortably guessing on a topic like this is that we don't know anything about strings and corresponding frame data . . . for anyone.
Can he Levi cancel pressure??a sindel main from mk9 knows what to do with this stance.. i have already been dreaming up stuff. he has better moves then sindel.. so stuff like d,d,u, land into one of his specials is one thing. d,d,u into that charge move, we dont know if he has to be fully airborne to perform it but, something tells me he doesnt have to be in full flight.
combo string, flight cancel into 50/50 mix up. sindel didnt really have any good mix ups, we know he will.. the moment i saw it i got boner..
we dont know yet but im sure he will.. we did see him do a flight, cancel it into moves instantly.Can he Levi cancel pressure??
Bahaha far too optimisticI'm with Dan on Spectral. You guys are thinking too much on using the flight on its own and not in relation to other tactics, such as pressure. I think that will be his straight up rushdown variation. It's a sleeper.
None of the variations thus far look like they have no use. All of them look very viable in some way or another.
