It's a pain to get in and open ermac up....
agreed. TKP is such a bitch. she can only punish that in close range. even if it whiffs, she has to spend meter to punish it, and even that is unlikely because we fear tele so much that we'd hold on block for too long lol.

we cant even counter zone with iafs or ground fans because he can just iaTele.

shit gets real when she finally gets in tho lol

Right now I think how we think of Ermac is how we used to think of Liu Kang.

From thinking it was 6-4 in our favor, to questioning the MU, to a 5-5.

So IMO its a 5-5 but we don't know why yet as we need to play more Ermacs

what do you guys think of the ermac MU? i have it as 5-5, as with others, and some have it 6-4 in ermacs favor. but it just came to my attention that some ermac players think its 6-4 in kits favor.

i don't see how kitana is winning this. The zoning and fear of tele is a pain. she dominates him upclose tho and punishes him pretty hard for his mistakes. not to mention alot of his strings whiff on her when she's ducking.

thoughts?
5-5 cause of tkp. if the ermac doesnt know how to properly tkp 7-3

5-5 imo. Ermac is a bitch though and if it's in anyone's favor it would probably be his. Ermac plays spacing well but Kitana's rushdown shenanigans work on him better than others.

I feel its 5-5.

They both do high damage.
I feel ermac out spaces kitana, but kitana has better normals.
Iafb works nice for ermac in this mu, it doesn't make him take any real risks.

If kitana gets too predictable with fans, ermac can get a combo off a teleport.
If ermac wants to jump too much or incorrectly space iafb, then kitana can get an air fan combo.
So they both can really punish each others movement.
This is me just saying a few things off the top of my head, we can always get deeper into the mu but most kitanas i speak with
either say 5-5 or 6-4 for ermac.

Also like revolver says, if it has to be in anyone's favour, i would also say its ermacs.

Khaotik, i can always play online with you.

I'm not a tournament player but I'd recommend you to take full advantage of the range on Kitana's normals to space out Cage.
