My Kameo Pick
Sareena

reasons
Jataaka's blessing gives me meter to use more often when i'm in a defensive position
Jataaka's curse takes away meter to not let them escape from a good punish, it also setups trapping scenarios in the corner or anywhere on screen where players are forced to move out of their perfect range into ermac's range, on panic most ppl will jump into the air
Kia's ways can hit confirm from F2 for easy damage, it also lets you hit confirm any string on the ground

I haven't tried the other Kameos yet, but this one seems to be the perfect match from the style i'm going for

I'm exploring the f4 meta as a good range punish into ggs, using iadb3 from fullscreen as a good zone and counter zoning tool
Ermac having to choose if he appears on the ground or in the air from a teleport it's kinda hilarious and feels like a mixup on it's own.
Ermac on it's own doesn't need to seem needing too much Kameo because he alone feels like a very complete character

What i suck at right now are combos, it's because also this is the first time in a while where i just jumped head in and played with BM-T trying to get to know the game from a casual perspective, just pick a character and mash, so i already knew Kung Lao and Ermac felt like the right choice, he is playing Cyrax and Noob Saibot by far, will probably play Sekt-her.

So if there are ermac mains in this forum, give me some combo routes to explore.

Not sure how practical your wanted applications of sareena runes would be, but by all means experiment with your kameo choice, the zoning she gives could be nice.

He doesnt really need a grounded recapture, and he doesnt really need meter for combos either. He does need an ambush move akin to janet punches and scorp fireballs, to do big boy damage and combo of his throw as well as have an armored launcher.

As far as playing him goes, you have to master the cancle, and be able to convert your buttons into full combos, especially f2.

Combo routes are plenty, the ermac combo thread has alot and should give you an nice insight.
