General/Other - Ermac I Truly Believe Ermac is the BEST Character in the Game

Yeah the only problem is me and Xinoks connections don't seem to love each other :(

But I just feel in general a lot of people don't know how to deal with Tremor in terms of exposing his weakness

Cage players think it's 7-3 to Crystal but I think it's 6-4

Its probably because I play vs Tremor nearly daily lol
Xinok lives in Brazil, Brazil has the worst south american internet hads down.

I WILL EAT THIS GAME
I agree with the OP.
If I had to pick a #1 right now, simply by virtue of versatility and capability, it would be Ermac without a doubt.
He does just about everything well, and a couple of things better than anyone.
All of his variations are viable as per the aforementioned boost that Spectral got via the last patch.
Shit, I haven't had access to the game for a couple of months now, but I can tell you right now the first thing I'm going to do when I get back in is lab Mystic until my fingers start falling off.

exe push in mystic , I believe Kenshi's push is better
I would give up Reflect AND eat @Rude 's heart with a spoon if it meant Balanced Kenshi could have Mystic's Push.

You can't eat what doesn't exist, Box.

It was not you actually... it was for @Pan1cMode actually. Sorry bro.
Mileena low profiles all of Jacqui's mids. Her roll allows her to punish guns on whiff from half screen. Her b1 is disjointed making her very very difficult to whiff punish. She can't be pressured on wakeup even meterless unless in the corner since roll low profiles all her mids. Her walk speed is much better than ermacs which makes playing footsies with her a nightmare.

Overall, Mileena's kit is much more geared towards beating Jacqui than ermac's is.

No I think I'm gonna take the scrub approach and cry about a character without labbing first. Seems to work well on this site *coughs D'Vorah coughs*
Dude, D'Vorah was fucked up. Yeah people were stupid about how much they cried about puddle like it was some unstoppable force, that was dumb.

That's what I'm talking about, the puddle. Most overrated move in the history of the game.

Also her "safe" 50/50 she supposedly had
 
I was actually getting ready to engage @1man3letters in a friendly debate over the Crystalline vs Mystic match up and how I believe it's very much in Tremor's favor. Though in scrolling through to make sure I didn't miss any points/tags/quotes, I saw that Ermac is mediocre with Master of Souls & Spectral, and without 50/50's he's not that good. Unfortunately at that point all I heard was, "If it weren't for my Horse I wouldn't have spent that year in college." and my mind then drifted away.

This is the best thing I've seen on this forum in a long long time.

Characters are different so statements like this are never correct.

Ermac has better armor, a 6 frame D1, his jump 2 does not need to auto correct, similar to Mileena's. Sektor doesn't have any mix ups off of a blocked jump in kick like Ermac does with air soul blast or jump kick into whatever. Sektor also doesn't have a 13 frame launching mid that goes farther than halfscreen. Sub 20 frame launching 50/50s.

Sektor is higher on my personal tier list but he definitely doesn't have every good thing that Ermac has.
Very good points.. To be klear though, I wasn't making a statement, I was asking a question. I wanted to see what strengths Ermac had over Sektor because at first glance I didn't find anything notable.

Sektor's wake up is actually -15.

Idk why so many players miss punishes. It has little blockstun so maybe that throws people off? You can move as soon as you block the last flame. It's not a hard punish at all imo.

Did i see someone say spectral and mos were mediocre? Did someone else just say take away ermacs 50 50s and he'd be mediocre? What the fuck is that downplay lol.

I dont think hes the best in the game, but as a whole i think he could be top 5 or RIGHT outside of it. Character literally lacks nothing amd controls the neutral. How many losing mus does ermac even have?

The 50/50 is what safe Beyond toxin's ass from losing to Destroyer in Kombat cup #7. If that wasn't the case, destroyer would have won the last round.

So to answer your question, Ermac is pretty shit without 50/50.
