Strategy Ermac, why? (anti-airs)

[STORMS]

When you both go for jump punch anti-air... say Ermac wins... you do a lift when you land and follow that up with a 18-20% combo, right?

Who does this? Please spill the beans on your moves right here... been exploring.

You mean air to air right ? I believe the best way to maximize your dmg from air to air encounters is to teleport after a hit confirmed jp (or jk). After that you can do dash 22 TKS dash B12F1 dash TKP. I ve been thinking lately of using the double tp combos in air to air encounters.

EDIT: To answer your question i do what you mentioned but i really need to change that to jp or jk teleport for max dmg.

that combo does 25% (Vita)

JiP, TP, dash 22, lift, Uppercut (tight timing), force push 26%
JiK, TP, dash 22, lift, Uppercut, EX forceball (to continue the pressure and will hit/chip damage no matter what) possible 32% if EX forceball hits

Dont use uppercut, use B12F1.

Yea I usually lift after I connect a anti air jump punch

I'm thinking about picking up Ermac. Any suggestions for BnB's? (Kind of off topic, just didn't want to create a new thread about it.)

I always kick just because any time I try to TP off of an AA JP, negative edge gives me an iAFB.

Y'know, this game has WAY too many fucking initials for stuff.

why? I mean B12F1 seems a little easier..

 

[FrostyBarrel]

What I do is JK/JP,Teleport,Dash,2,2,TKS,B1,2,F1,Dash,Push. JP does 26% while JK does 37% so I go for JK if I can.

 

[Tokiwartoothxdk]

i usually use jp, tks, f2, tkp

 

[Metzos]

Damage is better (i think), although the most important thing is that by using B12F1 and afterwards a TKP you carry them in the corner much easier where you can keep them in check. Ermac's zoning pressure in the corner is insane if used correctly.

yours does 19% when you could potentially get 26%

thing is with this topic... does JIP beat JIK?

Cool thnx for bringing up the dmg number Frosty.

Depends. A back jp can beat a forward jk, but a back jk is unlikely to beat a forward jp. There are more variables like timing, the range the opponents are etc etc.

JIP,3,1,Tele Lift,JK,Teleport,Dash,2,2,Push 41%(38% without JIP)
JIP,B1,1,4,Lift,JK,Teleport,Dash,2,Push 45%(48% if your close to the corner and use 2,2)(Also, only 42% without JIP)
JIP,F1,1,4,Teleport,Dash,2,2,Lift,Dash,B1,2,F1,Dash,Push 40%(37% without JIP)

These are all easy to do if you want to learn more damaging ones I know a couple that people have told me.

Zaqs combo that he told me: Jip,B1,1,4,EX Tele Lift,JK,Teleport,JK,Teleport,D1,Push 53%
Then theres also a corner combo I can tell if you if I could find it.

If the ultimate goal is damage, I think it's always wiser to go with the JK setup, but Metz makes a good point...all the variables have to be taken into account.

Metzos Just got a 39% with no meter starting it with JIK,TP....

Ofc. Jk deals much more dmg than jp and the scaling is very low after.

The timing is tricky but with practice...

JK,TP,Dash 2, Dash again 22, Lift, B12F1, Forcepush = 39%

^ highest one so far?

Btw, if you use uppercut and are able to connect forcepush in time, it's the same damage

Could you try this one for me ? Jk tp jk tp d1 TKS dash B12F1 dash TKP.

It might help you if after Teleport immediately after do 2 then dash 22 TKS into the B1,2,F1 Push.

Not worth it to me Metzos it only does 39%.

 

[Metzos]

Well the most damage you can get from air to air situations without meter seems to be 39% then. Its not bad. Not bad at all.
