Strategy Ermac Patch Notes

[Ermaculate_Slim]

Ermac
• Ermac can no longer true combo 2-in-1 from the last hit of the BP, BP string
• Ermac’s enhanced fireball now correctly costs meter when done from a 2-in-1
• Increased the damage scaling on a lifted opponent
• Fixed a bug where Ermac would occasionally shoot out an invisible fireball
• Slightly increased the recovery frames on a blocked or missed force push


Have at it

 

[MagicMan357]

wondering how much damage scaling

 

[MKF30]

I'm fine with all the corrected bugs and issues with Ermac, however I'm a little disappointed he didn't get A. Armor on enhanced TK Push and B. at least ONE overhead....

Now Ermac I think with this lastest patch/update, moves lower a little. I don't know, or the same, definitely not higher lol..

 

[Ermaculate_Slim]

I think ermac has yet to get a buff in these patches.He has armor on his x ray but that dont count come on NRS.

 

[Ermaculate_Slim]

I know I should know this already but I guess I skipped this lesson but what is a 2-in1 combo?

 

[MKF30]

When you're doing a combo string into a special move, example if you're doing his 31, TKS(you have to buffer the command for the TKS before like immediately as you're hitting 31)

 

[Ermaculate_Slim]

Oh I know what that is I just didnt know there was name for it.I used to do 1,2 TKS but if blocked can be punished so i stopped.

 

[Error]

So nothing but nerfs? Yet other (better) characters that got nerfed gained something to compensate? :boohoo:

2, 2 into lift was removed a while ago, or does the change mean he can no longer end a combo with 2, 2 push?

 

[MKF30]

Oh I know what that is I just didnt know there was name for it.I used to do 1,2 TKS but if blocked can be punished so i stopped.

Yeah, they nerfed his 1, 22TKS which did heavy damage lol.

But I agree with error and you, Ermac the past few updates have been getting nothing but nerfs...

Anyone at this point that says he's "eazymac" is clearly ignorant lol. He needs a buff, even if it's a slight one.

 

[TheJaquio]

I don't know about this; I was practicing with Ermac last night after downloading the patch and his combos still do the same damage, and the 2,2 comboing into TK Push on the ground was removed a while ago (you can still do it at the end of combos).

They take all this stuff from ermac but its ok for cyrax to have like all these resets for like 70% damage.Idk if they fixed it or not but I doubt it someone will find something else.

Have you played with him after the hotfix that came out earlier today? I heard there were some fixes missing.

@MKF30 1, 22TKS?

 

[MKF30]

That's what I'm saying his 22 TKS combos were removed months ago, he hasn't had a buff in months literally. At least he still has the somewhat easy 40%+combos. They did even more when it was 22~TKS etc

@MKF30 1, 22TKS?

ps3 got the update yet?

 

[Error]

Wait a second, weren't these the same nerfs that Ermac received last time? Are these the right patch notes?

ps3 got the update yet?

No, it was on XBox

@MKF30 1, 22TKS?

Ah, that could be it; I'll give it a whirl.

Edit: Nope, his combos still do the same damage. According to the official patch notes thread, these are the only changes added today:

• Ermac can no longer leave an invisible fireball collision around.
• Fixed damage scaling a few of his reactions.

The TC must have added in the changes from previous patches/hotfixes.

Maybe im not sure are they dated?

Ermac
• Ermac can no longer true combo 2-in-1 from the last hit of the BP, BP string

What does exactly mean? :/
Why is there no love for Ermac I was hoping for ex telepush receiving armor.

 

[Ermaculate_Slim]

It means u cant do 2,2 TKS but u can do it ending a combo

 

[Error]

Yeah these nerfs are old, they're from the patch that came out in June.

• Ermac can no longer leave an invisible fireball collision around.
• Fixed damage scaling a few of his reactions.

This is from the new patch, I'm not sure what the second one means, and I've never experienced invisible fireballs.

 

[Ermaculate_Slim]

hmmm damage scaling on reactions???? :/ WTH does that mean?Also I've also never experienced a invisible fireball.

 

[HurlingDervish]

someone on xbox: do the big ass corner combo with b12f1 loops

i have a feeling thats what they scaled.

Otherwise it might be the scaling off of things like f2, b34, etc

 

[Error]

Hopefully fixed damage scaling also means giving strings that did almost no combo damage less scaling, like B3, 4 and I think F1, 1, 4

I don't think ermac needs armor on anything, personally. I cant imagine playing him and ultilizing armor, I guess. Btw ermacs overhead is up+4. Its slow, its guardable, but it needs to be thrown in once in awhile to keep them respecting high for F4.

 

[Krayzie]

Does anybody know what the damage scaling did? I haven't got a chance to pick up my 360.

Armor... lol
