Official Ermac and Mavado Kameo Trailer

 

Ermac looks even better than I was hoping. At the very least he met my expectations of being a combo master. But he also seems to have some good setups, but I’ll need to watch it a few more times lol.

Also, I expect that there will finally be a significant balance patch when Ermac releases. Based purely on the fact that we saw Reptile do a new move. Well that and I think we’re due for a significant balance patch!

 

I wonder if the pushblock is Mavado exclusive or not....

 

Love him actually using souls in his move animations.

Does it look like a block breaker from MKX or you think is something else entirely?

 

Did everyone notice Reptile doing things not currently in the game?

Is it copium to think there may finally be a big patch?

I'm not sure, whatever it is, it's sending you full screen so I hope it has some significant resource...

 

Man, this update looks saucy. Can't wait.

I DO think we will he getting a balance patch with Ermac. Idk why they would show that new Reptile move otherwise. Now, how big the balance patch will be, that’s the real question.

 

I'm really hoping for the big character balance(buff) patch to arrive with Ermac.

 

And they maybe retconned Mavado's hook swords and Spider-Man stuff to be one in the same? That's actually pretty clever to separate him further from Kabal.

Ermac looks pretty decent, but a little stiff. Either way, him getting added and Reptile getting buffed means I'm back to MK1 full-time. Sorry Pokémon.

The funny thing is it seems Mavado still got some leftovers from 3D era Kabal with that kameo move in which he pushes the enemy on you, maybe NRS decided to poke fun at the situation anyway in the end lol

 

Holy pisscock, Mavado looks insane. Ground bomb with block? That's gonna force wakeup options to be different unless the bomb also effects you.

I dunno where to even start with ermac, he looks insane.

 

was't somone asking in shout box like 2 days ago they wanted more Trap Kaemo moves?

Balance is lame... just commit to the MvC2 tyle and make everything in the game broken and let the players run free.

I think its a Flawless Block reversal. The block hitspark turns blue, just like it does for FB




I can't imagine it'd be just a Mavado thing.

 

Watched the trailer, and Ermac looks great, though I thought he was Genera Shao when talking. Same voice actor?

Not digging not-Spider-Man, but didn't expect to.

Overall liking what I'm seeing.

 

So fuckin hyped for ermac , im loving the voice its like they overlayed 5 voices and harmonised them , which , considering the character would be amazing , love his colours his energy his floaty walk , he has a sindel like float i wonder what he can do from it

How would that work? I don't know much about MK11's mechanics. You flawless block, then you're allowed to use some sort of kameo pushback?

 

Wow. Its been a while since an NRS trailer gave me this much frisson. (i think it was mkx jacqui trailer) . He looks magnificent & properly realized. Day 1, Hour 1. We will be there.

Tsk tsk. Havent we learned that NRS games can get very unfun if things arent tuned properly?

Something akin to a blowback(kof) or drive reversal (sf6) i would think. Its a get off me. I like the idea if it uses kameo bar tho . I could use this.

 

Big fan of Ermacs design, I much preferred MK9 to MKX but I think they managed best of both.

Excited to see Ermacs capture states for setup potential and also that Mavado has a trap too!

I think you are alone on this one.

 

I think you are alone on this one.

I think NRS players focus too much on narrative. They usually just want a scrubby, exploitable, 2touching flow-chart that can land them a win with minimal thinking.

But I do admit, I am in the minority. I like the challenge of making a marginally bad character a threat. I never said this before but, I trust the NRS balancing team this time around (it feels like someone new got hired). Sue me, but the balance changes weve seen so far have all been–in my humble opinion–in benefit to the games health.

 

Did Mavado do an OTG?!

 

Brief thoughts:

1. Ermac looks a lot better than I'd hoped. Not just his amazing animations, but just his costume. The look he'd had was boring and this feels so much cleaner.
2. I'm super glad they brought mavado back. His elastic hooks are a really wacky but neat weapon i've never seen in any other media. Glad they focused on that.
3. Here's hoping this breaths some much needed life into the game. I'd love to dive back in, even if it means unpacking my main computer, but just haven't felt the desire.

Edit:

That is still a type of balance. No one would be hyping MvC2 if you could only run MSS mirrors. The complaint for MK1 is that some characters get to play the MvC2 version of the game while others are playing the SF version.
