What’s crazy about Ermac’s voice in this game is that it is the same guy who played him in Mortal Kombat X. It’s just that the effects behind his voice are different now so it makes him sound absolutely massive and I love it.
As a dead serious Mavado fan, I love that they finally did what anyone who actually likes him wanted, which is basically just turn him into an R-rated Spider-Man.
its funny, but it seems like thats the go to color for death these days. not the only game where they chose it to represent dead characters or characters that deal with death.
Yes, when they first met Ermac (error macro) was just an error message in the game which made people speculate he's another hidden character much like Reptile.
Shut up that joke isn’t funny it’s dumb and old. Plus having Voldemort would be awesome that means I will be one step closer to having a Harry Potter fighting game.
@@user-su1gi7ee9e A Harry Potter fighting game would kinda suck. They would just be throwing magic bolts at each other. The only characters who punch people in the whole series are Hermione and Sirius.
@@user-su1gi7ee9e Surprised anyone actually defended this atrocious design. I'm sure there's a gear option to remove it so you can be happy with your weird tastes
Same. I reinstalled the game a few weeks ago, but after playing more Tekken and SF, its just painfully slow right now. Well, slow in general but when we compare to everything else it becomes painful
@@arpadszabo661 MK1 being "painfully slow" compared to Tekken 8 is crazy to me. T8's lack of speed is what had me drop it on initial tryout and I returned to M1K soon after.
After 8 Years of waiting for his Return, Not only does Ermac look complete with a Mask, but both the MKX Voice Actor, Jamieson Price reprices this Role once again as he still got it and Ermac not only has his Iconic Moves Upgraded but he fights as Many as the Souls that are Within Him which was never done before as we believe now that he’s Many in One, plus I love the nice touches like him fighting Shao as in the Original Lore he created Ermac and Skarlet by the Fallen Warrior’s Souls and Blood Shao took and love his Doctor Strange, Matrix, Inception like Clock Fatality that would make Kronika and Geras Jealous and his One Man Army like Fatal Blow that it makes me think of the Quan Chi “Kill Them” Meme and has Dragon Army Vibes, Mavado functions like a Evil Spider-Man with Hsu Hao Tech, sure I wish he had the Spiky Cleats but he looks good enough and at least he doesn’t copy Kabal, although we still need him UMK3, Deception, Shaolin Monks, MK9, MK9 Alternated, MKX, and MK11 Ermac Skins to Appear in MK1.
Thank god he has a mask, woooooo. My favorite ninja is OFFICIALLY back 🔥🔥 I'm glad I'm not the only one that commented on his idle pose, he looks hella menacing.
Ermac's voice actor is absolutely incredible. Which is a given since it's Jameson Price. Some other 'characters' he's voiced of his that sound very similar are the Centurions and Sentinels from Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void. I also like that ermac just kind of floats around, which really leans into the fact that he's just a giant pile of ghosts piloting a vessel.
Say what you want about MK1 but I love that they’re bringing back the old school characters instead of the same stuff over and over again it’s nice to have something new
@@Suprtrooper for sure. I know people like to meme on characters from the 3D Era, like Hsu Hao, but with them having rebooted the series twice now, why not take the opportunity to alter them and make them better? It will let people see them in a new light.
I actually kinda liked maskless Ermac, I dug the idea of turning him into a full zombie necromancer character, but it's hard to deny that with the mask he looks even better. I appreciate they tried something new with him, but I guess it's one of those things where he just wouldn't be Ermac without it.
For me the ninjas type character without mask is basically like what if we got Liu Kang without headband. It might look good (or bad), but in the end it just doesn't feel right.
In the current version of MK1, Reptile's Standing 3 technically leaves him airborne until the 2nd hit lands. So you can special cancel it into air-exclusive Falling Fang, which is the move where you see him vanish.
We can do the standing 3 and special cancel into down back 4 already. If you see carefully this is where you could also cancel the air falling gangs into the back forward 2 dash
BIGGEST problem with guys like Max, and others, who have all these opinions, or claim the game has issues, or kameo issues etc,is that you guys never really played half the roster or kameos and got creative and tried new shit. Because I've had a fucken blast doing all kinds of stuff. I just cant trust ur opinion. Also, Ermac probably had a mask all along and its going to be his gear piece lol
Max this is one of the greatest breakdowns I've seen. Most reactions missed the new reptile stuff but you didn't. Also I don't think the Movado pushback is a mechanic block move I think it's a reversal much like sareenas up kameo.
I’m hoping what max is hoping 100%. This has to be some kind of overhaul and I’m loving that idea. The game was never bad but it definitely needs so much more work to really reach that full potential
Excellent Reaction Video Max. Ermac is looking n sounding good and his Gameplay is looking hella dope. Hopefully there is a Gameplay Mechanic Overhaul, I haven't really Played alot of MK1 apart from coming back checking out the New Characters n bouncing again.
really love that his souls this time actually have designs. alot of potential to put in alot of characters in there in future games. imagine seeing him doing a soulmove and it's like moloch smacking someone with his ball and chain.
Love that they still had the same shot for the kombat pack so we can really compare the before and after of Ermac. He looks so much better now and he looks sick to play!
The move Mavado does he took from Kabals "nomad touch" its like a preventative move to reset your opponent from trying something.. Mavado is insane!!!!
Damn, we really bullied Ed Boon into putting a mask on this dude 😂
And changing the eyes of sub-zero 😂
Good
@@allerconwait,what about sub zeros eyes?
He deserves every bit of criticism for that lol it literally made zero sense.
For good reason

Could never have guessed it was the same dude cause the voice is just so different (in a good way)
Maybe it’s because it was Jerrod in the cutscene, but this one is Ermac as the collection of souls.
@@41tinman41
They meant in the last game Ermac was in. It's quite obvious that Ermac in the story has the same voice actor.

As a dead serious Mavado fan, I love that they finally did what anyone who actually likes him wanted, which is basically just turn him into an R-rated Spider-Man.

@@TBxMASTERx no one cares fam
It's a little touch, but I like how Ermac's effects are turquoise compared to Quan Chi's green.
And it looks sick, hope that's the color they keep for Ermac
its funny, but it seems like thats the go to color for death these days. not the only game where they chose it to represent dead characters or characters that deal with death.
@@Shiirow honestly, i kinda like the direction of that more lighter color as opposed to the pure green, it makes its stand out in a better way.
More spooky.
For real glad they ditch the generic fell green color and go for spectral teal color.
I like how Ermac being many souls in one body is using all these different souls in his moveset.
It really gives more emphasis on “We are many”
"You've changed since we've first met."
"We believe for the better."
looking at NRS and MK1 👀
the foreshadowing
Yes, when they first met Ermac (error macro) was just an error message in the game which made people speculate he's another hidden character much like Reptile.
That's so meta
@Krasiox it's also a callback to the fans complaining about Ermac's 1st design.
@@CarbonNut that's most probably it actually
Like how Ermac doesn't seem fully in control at any point. As if the body is just a conduit for many different possessions at once
You can kinda see that in his default pose. Where he's standing on his own but to do anything else, the souls within him are moving the body to fight.
"We are many, you are but one." He literally meant it. He's just an avatar for souls to control
Or when he goes limp during a summon attack
Reminds me of Annabelle, that haunted doll that's just a host for a ton of different evil spirits

Thank you for also thinking it felt fast! The whole time I watched the trailer all I could think was man this is fast as hell all the sudden
Yeah Mavado looks insanely awesome. Lots of ambushes
13:03 I hope it's universal but even if it's tied to Mavado when he comes out, down the line I can see that being added to everyone else.
Love that the interactions imply that Ermac is on the good side (or at least neutral). I was tired of him being a jobber villain
did you not see the game?
In the MK1 story King Jerrod is in control of Ermac’s body and aligns with his daughters Kitana and Mileena
@Jaez808 He isn't in his dlc version, as you can tell by his voice, face, and interactions

Wild that it's the same VA as MKX, he sounds completely different!
YO HOLY CRAP THEY PUT MAVADO IN?!?
DUDE! I used to play with him all the time back in Deadly Alliance!
Ermac definitely looks dope just love the idea of having the souls that reside in him to assist in the fight
I haven't played this game at all but Max your energy keeps me coming in to see your input on new characters. Hype and Love my man!
The cut straight to the face cam at the fatality never fails to make me laugh 😂
If the devs did a mini overhaul, then the dialogue between ermac vs reptile was the clue

Perfect timing, getting off work!
Edit: Definitely a day 1 main!
"We Are Many You Are But, One!"
Ermacs voice reminds me of the SF4 announcer
Same actor!
Well I stand corrected, he actually did like Mavado's fatality lol. I like how other than the trap Mavado is just bungeeing all over the place.

It’s really good
First thing I noticed was how Movado was doing these ambushes i’m excited to see the fighter combinations
Wasn’t he in story mode tho? I can’t remember it’s been awhile
So hyped for Ermac!
Ermac let a different soul take control after the story mode, and he made sure to get the drip.

Ermac is so freaking cool this is great can't wait
