Nausea
Soul Ascended
I have got to laugh at all these so called Ermac mains dropping him. I laugh with no disrespect inferred though! It's more like one of those " am I going insane?!" laughs.There will be a GIF somewhere @Scott The Scot you are the man for GIF's I hear?
Anyways I laugh maniacally because the sheer thought of dropping Ermac as my main cannot be comprehended. Some of his moves are terribly negative and unsafe sure, but, it doesn't stop them from being made safer to attempt by good spacing, footsies and even zoning. (I like to use a quick DDU3 to hop projectiles and force a kind of spam/rushdown/JIP from the opponent and when there's a gap punish accordingly.) Master of Souls to me is everything I've ever looked for in an Ermac. I can rushdown like a nutjob or keep my patience, play some footsies and find my gap. D3 is deadly. Condition you opponent to expect a D3 and stuff them with a F4 and it's go time from there as you all may know! He has 50/50 options/Vortex/High Damage/Corner Game so the reward > risk is still much greater. Don't get me wrong though, I agree wholeheartedly with the OP's 3 points but those aren't good enough reasons (for me at least) to not stick it out and see what the future holds as an Ermac main. Obviously there are a few things I would change if it was upto me lol
Across all Variations.
-Cancelable DB4 at the cost of half stamina.
-DB1 to have a sight push back on block.
-B2 to have more than one hit when charged/Armour break.
I could go on but we all know where that ends up. Spectral is my 2nd pick out of the 3 and it's only because it's mega fun. There are still lots to fix in Spectral but for now, I'll keep searching for tech & set-ups! Mystic you will never see me pick and this is a weird one because it reminds me the most of MK9 Ermac. I. Just. Can't. With MOS & Spectral doing what it does, Mystic just seems completely irrelevant to me. The Tele-Hang just stops play moving, damage is weak, terrible EX off his BF2. It really does need a new move or something but again, this be my view!
I love Ermac. He could be wherever anyone wants to put him on a tier list but he will be my main till the next MK comes out. He could use improvement but who couldn't? (No Quan's Intended). The game isn't even a year old yet as well, I believe the future is bright for Ermac and MKX as a whole.
