US does not have strong representatives for Ermac as well, besides Pboard (not counting zaf cause he is Canadian and not counting Big D cause he does not compete in tournaments anymore if i remember correctly). I ve been proven right about MU's when people were saying Ermac loses them, to be, in fact, even MU's as i was saying long ago (see JC, QC, Mileena and Jax, just to name some). Just see what Detroit did to CD jr in the finals of MLG. He almost won against his seasoned Jax with his two weeks Ermac. Dizzy agreed with me that Ermac - JC is actually an even MU, after a conversation we had, while everyone at that time was slandering Foxy saying that Ermac Cage is 6-4 Cage. Shujinky was saying Ermac - QC is 6-4 Quan or at best an even MU, completely disregarding that my training partner is one of the best, if not the best QC of the world along with Soup. After a little while, hey ! I was right again. And these were results of countless matches i played, not theory fighting. Why nobody in the US uses Ermac ? Simple. Because they dont believe in other scenes, they think they know everything about every character in the game, when in fact they dont. Thats my two cents (this does not go to all US players ofc). I dont boast Cowboy, many people here can tell you that, but when i see posts saying US has the best Ermac players, completely disregarding what i have been offering for this character for the past 2 years, i get pissed. Seriously. Ermac didnt have a serious representation until the late 12's. Why ? Because no one bothered to explore him at all. All i was hearing was, "he has no armor, he sucks, his zoning is average it sucks, his down pokes are punishable, he doesnt have pressure etc etc". The reason NRS didnt give him armor is because the above stated are the exact opposite tbh. Just because he doesnt have armor doesnt mean he sucks, his zoning is unique and the way he controls the space is scary, his pressure is a bit gimmicky but highly rewarding his d3 is not so easily punishable as many people tend to believe and he has one of the best throws in the game along with his stupid throw range. The recovery d3 has on block and on whiff is stupid (based on some tests i ve been doing i believe Somberness's frame data on Ermac's d3 on block may be wrong), it lowers his hit box etc. His AA standing has stupid range and can lead to 40% dmg AA combo etc. And i still cant believe that everyone forgets the fact that he can get 30+% dmg combos from, pretty much, everywhere, making pretty much the use of bars useless, except for breaker or the finishing blow, making him one of the best punishers in the game without the use of meter. I never said Ermac was godlike. I just said dont underestimate what he can do, thats all.
I really dont know what is your problem seriously man. You ve given up what ? Discussing ? You ve never even done that. All you were doing was coming into the Ermac forum and saying how Ermac goes even or loses to Mileena (another MU i was proven right) and how Sonya destroys Ermac without even saying why. As for your next sentence.... I m not even gonna go there. Seriously. Just because i dont have the means to travel to the US and prove my point to you and a couple of other players over there, doesnt mean i cannot express my opinion and THAT doesnt give you the right to insult me, or my scene, putting words in my mouth and downgrading me as a player.
