    Quick note: Mustard accidentally says "24" a few times at roughly the 7 minute mark, he means "42" and I missed it in editing. Sorry!

    I'd still love to see a very basic introduction video for newbies to the series, covering pretty much everything the game has to offer (and explains all the shorthand that the community uses!).

    I love how ever since they brought Ermac back in Deception they've just been making him more and more of a spooky zombie warlock with each appearance

    The whole undead zombie thing was never his thing in the 3D era or MK9 in fact he didn’t even look like a ghoul in those games. That trend didn’t start until that non canon MK legacy show decided to make him an undead creature for no reason and then MKX followed suite and thus caused a divide among the fandom between human spirit warrior ninja or undead mummy that looks too skinny and monstrous.

    Just had a thought about Ermac: he's a gestalt of souls stolen from the Living Forest, therefore he's composed of Outworld's honoured dead. Provided Quan-Chi doesn't have mystic control over him, wouldn't those souls recognize King Jerrod as their rightful liege and follow his lead?

    its fairly possible that they no longer recognize his rule considering Sindel’s actions in the story mode (completely shutting out all tarkatans and abandoning them)

    Its explained in some intros and their ending but every soul in Ermac has their own wants and agenda and some are viciously opposed to having a "Ruler" so to speak in the form of sindel and jerrod

    I've found that float into low and cyrax bomb breaks armor by itself, an easier alternative if you don't mind skipping a lil damages

  • @davidepanceri8192
    @davidepanceri81922 ай бұрын

    A couple more good kameos with him: Lao: after any enhanced lift u can set up an harmor braking hard to blockable with the hat + j2db22 also good to have a normal projectile and after a hard knock down u can use the air tp into air cancel or the normal tp to have a very good oki pressure. Jax: really good dmg in the corner and a lot of grounpond set ups with f4 and 42 into db2. And just another little thing with cyrax if u do f4db2db3 for the low mix u can call the vertical cyrax just before the db3 to combo from that if u hit

    Anyone else still dealing with the issue online where you are stuck on “searching for a match” forever even though you are on an Ethernet and high speed internet connection? I haven’t played in months and I want to because Ermac is my favorite dude but it just doesn’t seem worth it if I can’t go online 😢

    I've had a ton of fun with this pairing since this video, but I'm not really convinced by the bomb set ups. My opponent still has too many options, or at least it's still a 50/50 on whether they'll armor wake up or not which is the same situation i'm in after any knockdown... might as well get my damage, no? B24 stuffs pokes regardless. Not trying to be a debbie downer here. I know i need more practice Also B24 has a phat gap that people can yolo mash out of sometimes, they'll get hit by the bomb but it messes up the conversion.
