As you may have seen @YOMI REO found a new bug with Ermac’s teleport causing him to “phase” through the enemy, you can see his video here:
How it works
After doing a combo into Ermac’s Push at the right height, he has enough hit advantage to jump over teleport (right before you cross up) to make the teleport phase back into the opponent.
This bug reverses your inputs and even reverses your throw, if you wakeup with a button you will just start punching the air with most normals and specials, but some characters are an exception.
The teleport can also sometimes completely remove a special from your list no matter which way you input it, and sometimes even will make one special have two inputs (both inputs make the special go a different way)
How to beat it/What to do
EVERYONE can wakeup throw, he can do jump over punch and hit you but you should be able to react to if he teleports or not before you press throw, obviously it can be teched but it is an option and Ermac cannot press a button before being thrown, so its 100% a safe option against it.
You can also obviously delay wakeup, but that will just give him free pressure/mixup.
He isn’t necessarily + after the whiffed teleport but it does reverse most normals except NJP, if you NJP it actually puts him in the corner also, but this can be beaten out if he reads it obviously but for some chars NJP will beat his. (I didn’t write this specifically below)
