  • So we had the big Mortal Kombat 1 balance patch (vid linked below) and also, hey, Ermac came out with that too! So lets talk about ermac and what he's capable of, so far he seems like a pressure monster which isn't what I would think he'd be, but hey here we are so lets talk about it
    View the MK1 balance patch video here: • Mortal Kombat 1 Balanc...
    0:00 - Ermac is pretty cool
    2:26 - Dash cancel gimmicks are pretty real?
    7:19 - 50/50 for your life
    10:25 - Will he survive the test of time?

    Alright so yesterday we had the big MK1 patch(and vid for that in the vid description if you missed it) and lots of big things went down, but of course we also have an all-new character in Ermac! So lets talk about him why not, and also his frankly kinda crazy dash cancel pressure and easy to set up inescapable 50/50? You think someone who looks like he's basically the master of the undead would be more of a zoner or keep away character but no, Ermac is coming to run you over lol. Give the vid a watch, like if ya could, and enjoy!

    it’s crazy cool how Ermac’s moves have the same hit reactions as a lot of his MKX moves, except that we see the conjured spirit actually doing the move. for example, the lift that holds people upside down, we actually see the spectral witch thing holding them up. shits wild yo!

    Stand 3 dash cancel is supposedly plus! I couldn't quite make it work in practice but that's amazing if you can get stagger plus frames from it naturally. I know on ex it's basically always plus.
    It's very fun, even if I don't end up playing him, to have these little mechanical challenges. I love seeing if I can execute things like this.

    Not going to lie while Ermac is flashy with the combos and pressure cancel shenanigans I miss him being a zoner and space check character. If Noob returns hopefully he'll be zoney. He's definitely the highest execution in this game he's ever been out of any MK game. I hope Ermac gets at least a fireball.

    Im lost on the frame data of the 50/50. When i was getting slow-mo footage of the 50/50 for my own Ermac video, i was going to sync up clips of the low and OH to show them hitting at the same time but I cant seem to get the J1 to hit any sooner than 20 frames after the F4 and I have no clue why, since the frame data suggests they should both hit on frame 18 after the F4. Is there some cancel buffer that accounts for the 3 extra frames or something?? What am I missing lmao

      You can get pretty good damage with optimum routing, considering the pressure ermac puts on opponents. There are plenty of combo videos on YT already and I'm already hitting more than 40% for one bar with scorpion/Janet cage. The only issue is that you've got to be really on point with your cancels and hit confirms.

    @harryf9885 Месяц назад +1

    I’m a Marisa player in sf6 and the negative pressure thing feels very similar to what she can do with her target combos and gladius. So if you have dealt with button-button-gladius it’s similar to that where it’s all negative and there are gaps, but the gaps are frame traps, and I can either let the gladius go immediately, react to armoring a move with it, do a random delay, or full charge. The full charge doesn’t crumple but honestly it might as well with how much damage it does lol, and all versions give oki and big corner carry.
    If you block the uncharged version it is minus, but the full charge version is plus. If you know I’m going for the full charge you can easily time a counter hit once the armor goes away, go for a fast low, or jump out. However if I went for a partial charge or uncharged you might get counter hit out of that or armored if it wasn’t a low or I did Ex and then get hit by full charge.
