so LIJoe thinks ermac is bad in this game, i usually trust his opinion on these things. lets see though
Laughable.
I bolted the most important part.
I'm sad
I started thinking about the fact that he may be lacking as they were revealing more and more characters. Of course he isnt flushed out completely yet but no characters are so for all we know Takeda, Kung Lao and liu Kang might be even more of a pain in the ass to deal with.
I thought u did and I dont know why because "Do you even lift" is awesome
Wasn't me...must be a mod. I'm assuming for some very goofy reason. It happened to juggs thread too.
Funny, I played the Youtube guy Maximillion and he used Takeda. Half screen overheads into combos bruh.
Of the variations you played, which is the most versatile at a glance? How does mystic compare to MoS for controlling midscreen space?
I haven't messed around nearly as much with Mystic, but I don't really see the point, the mid screen options are just as punishable for both versions but MoS lets me combo off free energy traps for 35%+.
Play him yourself. You'' see Mystic is his only viable variation. The other two lack a key competent in his meter and keep away game. His force push. In Mystic combo damage is 5-7% less than MoS and Spectral (not sure on that one), but he has more tools and a AA Teleslam which grants the user a 23%+ punish combo for jump happy players.
Half screen overhead.....fuckin hell lol Yea I have a strong feeling Takeda will be a MASSIVE pain the ass.
Uppercut combos do not work. Ermac's uppercut recovers right before they hit the ground if aa'd. I tried teleport punching, but no success. I'm sure there may be a way, but I doubt it. I haven't played any matches yet, but I assume his pressure is the same. He has some nice setups for a high/low mixup, but they are small in numbers. Just got to mess with your opponents mind to get stuff rolling.Half screen overhead.....fuckin hell lol Yea I have a strong feeling Takeda will be a MASSIVE pain the ass.
- Have you (or anyone else) tried Ermac's pressure game? Is it better or worst than in MK9?
- And the question we all want to know....can you combo off a AA uppercut?
Damnit, Uppercuts in MK9 were huge for ermac, safe on block and could lead to massive dmg. They were my "Holy-shit-i'm-about-to-die-start-paniking" move
His d3 is your go to poke. Has great range, hits low, -5 on block, however, from a distance it would be hard to punish due to it's quick recovery. Be careful of his d1. Range is decent, but up close the block advantage will kill you. -9, hits mid, probably get blown up. His uppercut is -12. He has a f4 which is his overhead and it's fast as shit too. It starts up in 11 frames. Average standing poke is 10. He also has b3 which is a low starter and starts at 12 frames.
-9 damn lol
Ermac is solid. Try all his variations, but outside of Mystic he doesn't have force push. He loses a zoning tool, which is pretty lame. His damage is better in MoS. I've seen 37%, but one is forced to use meter since Teleslam doesn't hover the opponent outside of mystic. He's definitely solid, but I feel like he'll be mid like he was last game, unless other characters turn out to be better overall. I have a feeling this game will be heavily footsie based now that block dashing isn't really a thing anymore.
No one really. Not hitting netplay until a week after its official release. Going to wait till the servers unclog. Classy Sasquatch and I went to Queens to obtain our copies yesterday and spent a few hours bsing with characters. Lao is stupid by the way. Haha
I stated before that AA uppercut combos aren't a thing. I haven't tried aa normals yet, but Teleslam aa's if timed right and leads into 23%+ damage. If you wish to check out the combo thread, I posted a few combos I found if you want to give them a whirl.
Well aside from combo ability is it decent on reaction? Does it have "priority" or does it get stuffed. Good for blowing up jump overs?
