Why isnt block dashing a thing anymore? And when you say stupid you mean he seems to be OP?

The lose of the push I'll admit at first is a little disappointing but they did give him the soul ball which stuns now (at times if he hits or trades with the 3 souls around him) between the faster tp that juggles and the move that pops them up off the stun soulball or on hit I think that kind of makes up for it. The force push he has in Mystic, but he loses the soul ball...so to me it's a tradeoff. I plan on using both, I have no interest in Spectral.
If one were to activate the run in MKX one would need to double tap forward + bloc, or hit block while in mid dash. Using an attack while in the beginning or middle of the run animation cancels out of it which allows one to extend combos. Ermac has them. If one were to double tap forward for a simple dash and try to block to cancel it the run mechanic would activate. If you delay hitting the block button you will end up just canceling it at the end of the animation, so it's too slow to be useful. You'll get blown up.
He has the soul orb, but when using it at first with all 3 souls it eats 2 out of the 3 souls. You can do it again, but it will not stun until you obtain the souls back from the attack. The cool down isn't bad, but it isn't good either. Also, one can just bait it, so I think the trade off sucks personally.
Leave it how it is, thanks.
Liu Kang is death =\
Our first impressions on Liu were very underwhelming. Hope that changes as time passes and the game evolves.
I think he's pretty broken (using this word very loosely lol) personally. Safe strings that high low and combo into 30%. Zoning. The works. What made you guys underwhelmed?
He has no Overhead starting string that leads to damage, not saying he isn't strong but his mixup is a bit lacking.
For sure, F that noise that he's straight up not good. If you're good, you'll win the majority of your matches and he's so fun to play.
113 is overhead that ground bounces, very easy to block though.
lol it's all good, I like to think we whole as the MKC are equally important. I think we all contribute to MK, because let's face it without the millions of fans, there would be no MK, you know?
And that's regardless of kind of player you are. 
But anyway sometimes known people or developers use different usernames, so I figured I'd ask that 
I don't mind dealing with the small cool down, no doubt they did that for balance. I look forward to using him.
The only thing I'm worried about is his zoning. In general zoning seems to be a bit more punishable this time around. Force push has 36 frames of recovery on wife and is -24 on block (Keep in mind I lack knowledge of Ermac's frame data from MK9.). With this new dash mechanic I feel as though people can possibly get in on other players a little more easily now, but this is all theory of course.lol it's all good, I like to think we whole as the MKC are equally important.

But yeah I know that about the soul ball, just saying when you can trade with the 3 souls you can get free damage even if you're not near them via the tp.
@CliffP Agreed. I mean I had a friend on Xbox who I played with on MK 9 @CRKFIEND who had arguably the best Stryker, who was low tier yet used him to the max. So I definitely agree and don't buy that "Ermac sucks" bs, especially if he's a mid? Pfftt mids can be deadly in the right hands.
Yeah the run mechanic makes things faster but at the same time at least they can't cancel constantly into block, also a thing a lot of rush down players loved to do. I think zoners will adapt and pokes/low poke kicks D4 seem to help against running with a good footsie game I noticed but I guess time will tell.
