soooooo vortex combo end with b12 , then f34 into 50/50 town or block trap or throw hmmmmmm new mix ups

 

[BoromiRofGeo]

i hate to say this... but with this ermac is kung lao tier.
oh wait a second. nothing to be ashamed here.

 

[omooba]

Wont the Spectral input change make it horrible fuzzy guarding Tremor for example. Since block down up gives you flight

why? who the fuck presses up to block lol

 

[Ragnarök Tyr]

He's certainly potent. I wouldn't go as far as to say Kung Lao Tier though.

 

[SHAOLIN]

So I'm cool with f34.....if theirs universal options against it.

Well the string is far more valuable if if it's better than neutral and theres a gap in f3<gap>4, problem is it'll break a lot of armor moves (for example, Kitana's Rising Blades at 12frame startup gets broken, Kung Lao's Spin does not) Either way, I don't think anything more than +2 is intended

Well there should be room to backdash/jump after blocking it, as I said, I don't think f34 will stay this much plus

 

[Error]

Yeah, f34 shouldn't be plus enough to loop into itself, if anything, make it guarantee a d1.

It wasn't just reo though. It was reo vs honeybee who is one the best mkx players. Not only that but it was buffed dvorah too who may be a top candidate for top 5 characters . You guys should give mystic a chance . If reo and honeybee were having good sets when honeybee was using his main I think it's safe to say mystic is being overlooked

Dvorah wasn't buffed that heavily and right now nobody knows a mu other than mos ermac. Honeybee was even saying "is the push punishable, how punishable is it, i dont even know his strings". So a set with a newly buffed character that nobody played competitively previous cant really show the variations worth imo. Maybe when everyone starts using him and people get familiar with his antics THEN we will see how good the variation is.

Jumping = Eating the 4 in Ermac's F34

Backdash = Being able to poke with D1 or D3, maybe D2

If this information is indeed incorrect, please provide the correct info with a video of some sort.

Im talking about current patch, not beta. You can't backdash or usually armor through the f34 string on either. Right now it's just plain broken on block.

She wasn't buffed that much but she was extremely solid to begin with . This just made her better. I'm not arguing that he's the best character in the game. I'm saying he's no trash like the guy I responding to said. That's all. I'd rather uplay a variation that looks so much more solid now than say it's trash

Lol Oh nvm then.

Solid is nothing. Complain early and often until your character is broken-tier and then yell "he needs it!" as often as you can.

NEVER up-play.

 

[TheEighth]

if nothing else, mystic bodies gm sub zero pretty hard lol

 

[TheSkesh]

Whats the timing on the new input for hover? I have only gotten it once so far, I must be messing something up bad.

 

[Ragnarök Tyr]

D+Block U

 

[jharris]

f34 looping is too stronk

 

[Chakotay17]

Not sure if anyone talked about this but B1, 2 got buffed hitbox got buffed it seems. I can do 4 fullscreen:

 

[Chakotay17]

Or 3 and a f4 in the corner

Does anyone else miss the old command for hover? I know I just need to actually practice it, but even out of combo I find myself doing far more njks after a botched hover-ground pound command

Yes I do but its mainly due to 10 months of DDU. Muscle memory reconditioning is no easy feat lol.

DU+BLK will be worth it in the long run bro. Its because there is no Training its hard to get a handle on it.

Yes I did too at first so your not the only one. But once you know how fast you can do it, its glorious. Like Nausea said, just reconditioning that muscle memory
