I have spent the last few weeks trying to learn and understand this character and watch multiple videos on him and finally I find someone going into a theory of using him and giving me an idea how you use this bastard. I was about to give up playing him. Thank you
What used to get me is when they would do like 1 2 3 and then the soul slide with a back cancel...into the 21the long mid string...shits annoying like a parry
@@machinayrequiem8596it’s not hard it’s practically what you said tbh, some people just cannot grasp how to effectively special cancel that’s the first part.
@@bunkies2674 Ferra is a solid Kameo all around . Ermac has a few kameo that pairs well with . But it’s hard to answer your question because the kameo you choose depends on your play style . My favorite kameo is scorpion , Ferra , Cyrax, Janet cage
I’m glad you found it helpful , the next two DLC coming out I will do videos like this . To your point combos videos don’t teach how to play the character in a real match
I agree. Ive seen videos of all kinds of combos and people complaining his dmg is low and Im like none of this matters if you cant open the opponent up.
You dash cancel consistently by doing the move BF3 then when Ermac drops to his knees the take your fingers off the pad and wait till he stands up then if done right he will have began the dash . Did that answer your question ?
@micahhendricks7647 ohhhh ok so the visual que I look for to cancel consistently is the moment you see the green orb forming in his hands . That’s exactly when you cancel with FF.
Check your settings, it sounds like you have release input (negative edge) on. It is registering your release of 3 with your down back and then teleport comes out. Negative edge is by default on, I switched it off and it improved my combos drastically.
@@MOUNTOLYMPUSGAMING_ yeah I knew that but I’ve just learnt the best way to do it imo. Instead of doing inputs fast do bf1 as late as possible and it seems to me that it’s faster and guaranteed cancel into combo. This is how I got ermacs combo 7 done after I left this comment haha. Did it 2 in a row
If only ermac’s pressure was real then this could work. Unfortunately, his cancels are all Mashable . Unless you good at canceling & mixing that cancel. Other than that, his shit don’t work lol. Everyone mashes after his cancels 🤣
They do work , I took this character to God rank last season . If they are mashing just cancel backwards or meter burn the cancel and you will beat them out every time
FYI when using BF3 and csncelling into dash. You can just input BF3FF all as one input and the cancel will come out.
Ooooo
True ,the problem lies with the jump cancel not being consistent.

@@innocenceUnknown I’m glad it helped 🙏
Been looking to learn a new character that isn't hugely popular online and this video is gold. Thanks dude.
I’m glad you enjoyed it 🫡
Holy cow how come I haven't heard about this hannel before. Amazing guide. I hope you have more videos how to become better at MK1. Instant sub❤
I’m glad you enjoyed the video and yes more videos like this will be coming with the next DLC characters
why tf he look like ezio
🤣 now that you said that I can’t unsee it lmao
I got that coustume on my self

Appreciate the video, you should definitely have more views. Good stuff. 👍🏽
I appreciate that!
We need a guide on how to perform those cancels effectively
Is it hard or something? You just double tap forward after the special input.
@@machinayrequiem8596it’s not hard it’s practically what you said tbh, some people just cannot grasp how to effectively special cancel that’s the first part.
@@machinayrequiem8596tbf the cancels can be tricky in certain routes like f2 bf1 ff f4
Make sure you holding 1 while you input the dash or he won’t cancel
I spend a lot of time Workshopping in practice. I guess some people dont idk
Appericate this video since I was kinda confused on how to play ermac and it seem really hard at first since I’m not a high kombat league player
I’m glad you found it helpful , I figured a video like this would help people out because this character is overwhelming when you pick him up .
with janet you have a conversion with the back sweep, do BK while doing back sweep-d1-db1ex
What I took from this vid is conditioning. It really helped 💯
@@charlieace9874 I’m glad you found it helpful fam 👍
Man I’ve been struggling with that air cancel, I just said fuck it. I’ve lost many of games and dropped combos. 🤦🏽♂️
🤔 ahhhhhh you never stop learning thank you 👍
Love your video!!! One thing I can’t do is down back 2 after forward 4. I keep teleporting
You mean DB1 the lift move ??
Make sure to check your control settings, especially input window, and release check. You want your release check off, and input window at medium.
Great video bro subscribed!!! 👍🏿
I’m glad you like it !!
Great video man, thank you very much for the info!
Glad it was helpful!

@@bunkies2674 anytime 👍
When i try to use the air cancel he do the teleport...
Awesome 👏🏽
Great video, my friend
Thanks bro
4 tips om ermac is crazy
Why you say that ?
Holy hell this was goated help
So good. Way too many combo guides and not enough true strategy guides. Criminally low views.
I’m glad you found it helpful , the next two DLC coming out I will do videos like this . To your point combos videos don’t teach how to play the character in a real match
@@MOUNTOLYMPUSGAMING_ do you have a way to donate?
@AndrewPolidore sadly not yet , I’m on a journey to get 1k subscribers then I’ll have access to those feature’s . I appreciate that luv tho 🙏
I agree. Ive seen videos of all kinds of combos and people complaining his dmg is low and Im like none of this matters if you cant open the opponent up.
You should make a video about Noob Saibot
@@Kylethejobber I definitely will be doing one be on the look out for noob , Cyrax and sektor vids 😎
How do you do the dash cancels consistent when pressuring? My inputs get eaten sometimes.
You dash cancel consistently by doing the move BF3 then when Ermac drops to his knees the take your fingers off the pad and wait till he stands up then if done right he will have began the dash . Did that answer your question ?
@@MOUNTOLYMPUSGAMING_ I meant the bf1 cancels. The move you can charge up for a crumple effect
@micahhendricks7647 ohhhh ok so the visual que I look for to cancel consistently is the moment you see the green orb forming in his hands . That’s exactly when you cancel with FF.
@@MOUNTOLYMPUSGAMING_ thx
@micahhendricks7647 you need to still be holding 1 while dashing. If you release 1 before dashing it won't work
6:47 when I try to do the air cancel it teleport instead of air cancel
This is where you need to have clean inputs or it simply won’t work
Check your settings, it sounds like you have release input (negative edge) on. It is registering your release of 3 with your down back and then teleport comes out. Negative edge is by default on, I switched it off and it improved my combos drastically.
Did they patch the BF1 cancel? No matter how fast I spam dash he won’t cancel
Don’t spam is once you do BF1 push FF then don’t push nothing till Ermac moves that’s the key
been practicing for 2 weeks and i just can't get the cancels so im just gonna quit
Which cancel the BF1 or the BF3?
@@MOUNTOLYMPUSGAMING_ bf1
@@MOUNTOLYMPUSGAMING_ BF1 into any move doesn’t connect for me anytime I try
@morwaleath4924 when you do BF1 hold 1 for a second then do the cancel
@@MOUNTOLYMPUSGAMING_ i know that i still cant hit the cancel into another move

@@MOUNTOLYMPUSGAMING_ makes sense. Even if you’re spending meter you get it right back from canceling a lot.
@@unkwxnx yeah , he’s fine to play he’s just not as brain dead to play . Ermac shines when people know his weakness because you just play on that

Too easy to zone out with no projectile.
Remember he has a teleport so you can react to the projectile and punish
@@MOUNTOLYMPUSGAMING_thats not what he meant bucko his combos are all easy to zone with
Ohhh I see
ayo!! 😂
Ermac is a BULLY. 😂😂😂
Ermac is fun nd the tech is great but he js is so awful
How is he awful
You're just bad
