I much prefer the F+4 as a combo ender to stay within a decent range and follow up with some pressure. I was wondering what you guys think? I know that match-ups make a huge difference on which to use but I feel like Ermac's pressure game is very underrated. 3,1...d+3.d+3. 1,2,1...etc.
Thoughts/Comments/Suggestions?
While I agree with the F4 ender to combos, I really like
Force Push.
In my opinon, there are certain characters that Ermac can't allow to be full screen on him and characters that he can't allow in close at all, so finishing every combo with 22 Push or F4 is not always the best option on repeat, its a choice on the character you are fighting.
And one of the most underused tools Ermac has is his
Push, it gets your damage that you want from 22 Push at the end of combos, but allows you the massive frame advantage to set your distance again, or get really close if you want, which you don't get from the regular push, you just have to take full screen, its got damage, and gives you control of where you want to be, its the best of both for me. Its great against Reptile, Cyrax, Kabal, Sektor etc. And I know personally when im Reptile, I want pushed full screen, thats exactly where I want to be.
Against some characters, its a priority to just push them full screen and keep them as far away as possible, Cage, CSZ, Sonya for example.
And against certain characters with slower normals and pokes, finishing the combo with F4 is perfect, against Sindel, Noob, Rain, Lui Kang etc.
So for me its a call on the character your against.
I like Ermacs Pressure, but his D3 kind of jars me abit, the same as Rain, your at disadvantage even on hit, and your pressure kind of comes to an end.
