Happy New year!
May 2021 be better for all of us.
Let's hope so
Happy new years mate
Your fans to yourself and Jake: "We overwhelm you."
Thanks for all the content and here's another year to growth.
❤
Happy new year! Hope 2021 is better! Can you do a vid on Reptile please? :)
This is unsanitary. Ketchup is wearing yellow, now its impossible to recognise the 2 from each other
What
Mustard has a bigger beard. If he shaves, then we're fucked.
I totally agree. Ketchup should be rocking the Sektor Red, and Mustard should be rocking his Klassic yellow
I also liked his naming origin. The Midway team always had fun with their names.
“Error Macros” were the cause of some glitches back then and they decided to name a ninja after them in Ermac. Pretty interesting.
Was looking for this comment, by far my favourite name origin next to Tobias Boon
What a great way to start the year, a competitive history of airmac
lol I remember when I thought his name was pronounced that way back in MK Trilogy until it got corrected in later games 😆
I used to jokingly call him that because of his teleslam.
@@gabrieltejada1697 For what it's worth, it makes sense given the origin of his name, "Error Macro." Error isn't pronounced ur-rer (at least commonly that I know of), but rather air-rer.
@@gabrieltejada1697 I still pronounce it like that. lol
Don't forget, in the hands of a professional, he becomes an AirMac Pro. XD
It saddens me that NRS made a really cool looking Ermac design in MK11 and refuse to let us play as him.
Yeah he looks so fuckin sick
He's back in MK1 as dlc but NRS butchered his design :c
@@squash589when I saw him I actually thought he was a straight up new character. That’s the mark of a bad design
@@theskullboy8700 same thing happened to me when I first saw him in the KP trailer. We legit thought he's a new comer until he opened his eyes .-.
@@squash589 so with the early story reveal. We were……….half right?
Ketchup : "I want to thank you for watching our videos and being patient"
Me : "Ketchup isn't supposed to wear yellow 😤" 😂👍
I don’t even play mk anymore and I watch this
Same tbh 😂 It makes me wanna play mk9 again lmao
I’ve never played lole
@@dayyton3163 best one
@@thebadwolf3088 trueeee
I don't even like mortal kombat and I can't get enough of these videos
Ermac is my favorite player in MK9 and X
man, hearing you say mk9 "back in the day" makes me feel old, specially when knowing ermac since ultimate 3
Lmao truth
20:30 - Ermac: “Ca-Caw! CA-CAW!“
Lol
Hmm Ermac had a decent career, which im very glad he's my favorite pallete swap ninja.
Deception and MK9 is still his best look.
*We are many, you are but one!*
Though in your case, you are the One Being with all of this knowledge you’re dropping.
"nothing about him was broken"? that character had one of the fastest uppercut recoveries on the whole game, only him and Rain had those tools. Ermac's dmg was insane.
Comboing from uppercut in MK9 was actually more related to height than recovery. Ermac and Rain could do it between many combos because they have specials that put the opponent very high, but in theory most characters had a way to convert from uppercut depending on height and position.
Also I don’t think Ketchup meant Ermac was bad when he said nothing was broken about him in MK9. He was still good at various things (including his meterless damage), just there were higher tier characters better at those things.
Ermac was my first main in MK9. He's great at starting Combos but he really lacked any real damaging combos and whack/hard to input overheads and lows. I think one of his lows was like a back+attack, down, forward+attack which neither were cancel able at the end nor did any real damage without the last attack. I had to drop him for either Scorpion or my other real main, Raiden.
But yeah, he was really basic. I think it was to balance his sweet specials. His teleport was punishable AF, only his air teleport was really what you wanted to use. He had one real full length combo which suffered when not striking mid. My buddies used to say, bro you just do the same moves. I was doing his best chain. Where the 'expert' characters had like 3-5 and better overheads and lows. Since he had the special that juggled, he really didn't have any other juggles. He was also pretty slow. He had a couple good but not really damaging quick starters. Basically the rest of his moves were so slow that you weren't catching anybody with them unless they wiffed. Again, Ermac's base combos were some of the weirdest inputs in the game.
Design: 8/10
Move Set: 6/10
I just want to say I genuinely love this series thank you for still doing it
I've never understood why Ermac has an axe in Deception and Armageddon, it feels so aesthetically at odds with the rest of his design
like "yeah here's our mystic ninja man, we gave him a battle-ax"
My theory: Ermac themselves named the axe. They heard the phrase "killing them with Kindness" and wildly misunderstood.
What weapon would you want him to have?
@@sephlock4767A rapier would be stylish
This video was such a treat.
Was awesome to see myself as one of the two MK9 ermacs to watch. Really made my day.
0:48 - So unmasked Sub-zero is just a piñata full of legs? I knew it!
I kind of want to see a competitive history video for the Joker, considering he's technically been in two Mortal Kombat games. I guess you can fit in his appearances in Injustice 1 and 2 as well if you really want to.
My favourite MK character. Happy to see he’s been consistently good throughout the years.
LETS GOO I WAS WAITING FOR ANOTHER ONE OF THESE! also when’s the next mk meta
I’m hoping he does Deception.
@@angelsilva7207 Same
Happy New Year to you, Mustard and your whole condiment crew! Thanks for all the things you guys do for the video game community. I wish you all a swell 2021 and look forward to ingesting more content as it becomes available!
Imagine what kind of characters would be created if modern rumors lead to the creation of new characters
Perfect way for me to start 2021and thank you again for the gameplay feature! Spectral is and will forever be the most fun il have in a fighting game.
Beautiful as always bro, all the best for 2021 ❤
i really hope he comes back in mk1, he's so much fun to play whenever he's in these games
Great way to start 2021!! A competitive history of my favourite character! Happy New year from Argentina Ketchup and Mustard!
ERMAC is extremely underrated as a character and playing him. I really liked him.
Happy new year dude!
My fav character, thanks for covering him!
If you want any character to be added, just spread a rumor about him being a secret character during the MK1 era
So... y'all hear about the cheat code for SCP 076-2 in MKX? You never unlocked Abel? Amateurs.
(Shameless attempt to convince Netherrealm to add Abel to the roster, he's built for this)
I remember dressing up as ermac on Halloween 8ish years ago.
master of souls was insanely fun
that vortex is just MMMMMMM
Master of Souls was so scrubby.
That part at the end really helped man, thank you.
I like the MKX gameplay where all characters and all variations have crazy good stuff so it balances out. Plus the runs combos and fast pace make it my top mk game ever.
I loved Ermac in MKX, Master of Souls was so fun, guess wrong twice and that’s round over
The Mac needs to return
this is my favorite series of MK content, keep up the awesome work man!
I'd actually really dig a Dairou history of, I know its all 3D era games but h was in all three (iirc?)
Love this video! Been playing Ermac since MK Deception and had such a good time with him online! Sucks he didn't make MK11 but hopefully he will show up in MK12.
Mr Error Macro himself, this guy was a glitch in Mortal Kimbat Matrix!
1:35 he had the exaggerated swagger of a white man
Love these. Can’t wait for Liu Kang and Johnny Cage! Let’s get some thicc episodes!!!
Awesome video ermac is such a beast
MK9 Ermac was the best no questions asked
My favorite fighter in any game series ever. I practiced Ermac in MK9 so much that I can still rehearse all of his combos in my head. I hope he makes it into the next mortal kombat
Happy new year bros, if this is anything like the Fujin video we will be playing Ermac real soon 🤣🤙
Reptile next 🙋♂️
Same here.
thanks for your hard work this year, ive been following you guys since the end of MKX, one of my favorites videos this year is that long set Rain vs Fujin you guys did a couple weeks ago, 2 flash characters at high level is always something that im interessed! My brother is now living in London so we had a eye on the situation there all the year and i happy that you guys are slowly getting the vaccine, stay safe and keep your amazing job! shoutouts from brazil!
God I miss Ermac.
I'm in no way interested in Mortal Kombat or fighting games in general, but the video was so good I had to watch it until the end.
That is so strange lmao
thanks for doing these videos cause i really love them and i really liked your speech at the ending as well
Reptile next pls
My wish exactly.
Ik this is old but y'all did Master of Souls dirty. His vanish move is literally a better reason to play him than soulball. Soulball is awesome and like 45% of the reason I'd use MoS, but the vanish completely changes everything about his jump. Like, you can jump teleport, jump vanish, jump float ground pound, jump float teleport, jump float vanish, or jump and float>vanish multiple times and never touch the ground. You can throw his soulball in the air during that and instantly get a fat combo, and obviously NJP is the main tool. Literally made people quit with vanish.
I remember all the error rumours surrounding his name. That was such cool times when it was all new.
I kind of wish I played all the games between trilogy and XL
I just was too busy and when it came to prior games I would learn every move and mean every move including all Shang Tsung morphs when he could morph in to any character. I was in my 20s by then though so working and clubbing every weekend. The 1st 3 games were during my teens so had plenty time to learn everything.
“We are many you all but one.”
This breakdown was dope
Happy New year, listening to this video makes me want to try him out in mkx. Wasn't a big fan of MKX because I felt like there was just so many overhead and low mix-ups, which is kind of ironic because I am a Terminator player in MK 11. and I hope 2021 treats everybody better than last year
Man don't we all just LOVE Error Macro, the best invalid argument value in all of MK code
In arcades Erma, klassic subzero, and millennia were DLC! You needed 25 cents
MKX was the game that made me really like Ermac 😂
Gameplay wise or lore wise?
@@gabrieltejada1697
I'm assuming gameplay-wise. Ermac was scrub-friendly and didn't do anything in the story.
@@RJ-rp8yd scrub friendly? lol his spectral variation wasn’t easy to use and his master of souls variation was risky while Mystic was his safest variation and only beginner friendly variation.
@@gabrieltejada1697 Gameplay wise yeah, he’s always been pretty cool imo; but I never really played him lol
The first MK character that i ever played and my number 1 favorite.
Recently as my dad moved to his new house after marrying, he got mk9 for his ps3 since we'd spend more time with more people in the house
as much as they love me, they dont like when i pick the funny red ninja guy
My family boutta hate me after i keep picking ermac in the mk 1
Great job 💕, can you do Kitana competitive history next?
Thank you as always for your hard work.
Another great competitive history video as always. Can't wait to see who you cover next
i remember growing up as a kid and ermac was my favorite fighter before i fell in love with scorpion. those were the days
I started picking up mkx and did not feel all to good about it as I was struggling and kept getting laugh ed at and told that I was boring by players, but this video really makes me want to try it again and use ermac.
Great series, Kano next please
Great video. So detailed. I love this series.
But, every time Ketchup wears yellow my brain just says something's wrong lol
Great job with the series man, idk if you’re planning on it but you should eventually do a full video on all the guest characters
Great video as always, happy new year and if 2021 has more great videos I’m all down for it. Ermac was the coolest character I had seen while growing up so I used Him in Deception, Armaggedon, 9 and X. When you talked about the variations I remembered when my brother and I did ermac mirrors me using mystic and Him sticking with master of souls. Hope he comes back soon, MK11 needs some of his style
I always loved ermac, he peaked with MK9 and it sucks because he was so dope in that game as well as his 3d appearances
Legit best commentary on RUclips
some of mkx' animation decisions are so nutty. why is spectral ermac flapping his hands while flying
MK9 Ermac was soooo sick
Wow Ermac MK9 and Jade MK11 are surprisingly similar in ways
Thank you for this!
Thanks Dude
Ermacs MKX model and move set was so fucking cool
Bird Ermac isnt real he cant hurt you
Bird Ermac: 20:30
Miss Ermac so much...
The camera quality reminds me of old RUclips and that isn’t bad
Ermac the badass hero in the original timeline only to be screwed over in the new timeline, **sigh** I want him to be redeemed again 😢
Agreed, he's cool in the new timeline because of his badassness, powers etc but felt more developed and also powerful in the Original timeline. I loved the whole Kenshi freeing him and Ermac training him to become more powerful via Telekinetic training in return for freeing him.
@@MKF30 they could’ve easily done this in MKX except this time it would happen on screen instead of being off screen through text but noooooo.
@@gabrieltejada1697 Exactly, Ermac is way cooler snd more interesting when he's a good guy imo too. Remember deception he beat the other good guys with ease while Onaga was mind controlling them. He was immune to it, hopefully the next time he comes back he'll be good again.
Good Ermac is best Ermac.
@@ShiftyGuy777 Yep! And that was sooo lame how they wrote Shang Tsung returning with Ermac's MK X ending sadly canon, so he floats into loneliness and Shang magically appears out of nowhere(after death some how not even explained) and kills Ermac by taking his souls...then they make him fall in the pit onto a spike in the krypt(which I know that's confirmed not canon) but still they punked Ermac hard....
Love your history series, can't wait for my man scorpion to get the treatment too (unless im dumb and didnt seen it when i checked 😂)
Great job!
My favourite character! Loved this video and this series.
Would u do Tremor next?
I only just now realized the UMK3 select screen at the start of the video has Smoke in Rain's slot, wonder what that's from.
I thought you meant Robot Smoke. Wtf.
We need Ermac, Reptile and Smoke in Mk11
That never happened lol, hopefully in mk12
Yes! And can we get some SCP rep in game? Anyone who read the files *knows* Abel is all about fighting and killing. Shao Khan would fall in one round.
I love these videos!! Always look forward to the next one 😎
I love Ermac so much
i havent even played mk games but i still watch this for some reason
Amazing explanation for new year
Love your channel ❤️
Quality videos as always
“As of right now”...what do you know that we don’t? 🤔
I love how at 0:54 subzero explodes into 7 legs 🤣
And to a Happy New Years to you!
I love some Ermac
MK in the early 2000’s was weird but awesome asf
So crazy how a character can spawn from a ROM game audit called Error Macro from MK1.
What up bro just found your channel, keep doing your thing, can’t wait for the sub zero video
No game has EVER done secret characters like MK. I wish they would bring it back
i just realized there isn't a competitive history of smoke
Not yet!
Great vids I love you he historical fighting game content
