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.

Clicked so fast, I've been waiting for this video! THANK YOU for all that you do as always!!!
Really solid showcase of Ermac. Not only clean with the combos, 🔥 with the setups nd frame data.
Love this team, been waiting on a guide from you guys
This is my favorite kameo with ermac. I found so many set ups ❤
I just reinstalled and have absolutely loved practicing with ermac. It’s been so fun because he’s such a creative character. I found a few things with cyrax as that was the team I wanted to use but not as much as you had. Can’t wait to try all this out thanks for the vid
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)

I don't even know how many other rulers there could have been before them too

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

Sindels ending explains how Ermac is basically a whole nation of souls with its own politics and stuff like that going on.
Im just getting back into the game, and enjoying ermac. Top tier video.
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
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
Yes that a super long one, but defiantly amazing to watch like always.
I would love to see u guys do the best zoners in every mortal kombat game
Also Sonya’s ring+ safe teleport is great!
U can also cut every meterless combo short into b24 bomb setups very very cool gameplan you can keep meter for kill or armor
his mixup is KILLER
I'm here to once again request the competitive history of Liu Kang! *Persistency is consistency!*

Can also f throw push into self destruct bomb. I was labbing the same team even before i saw ur video👍. Very fun team
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 😢
any tips on the timeing or the chopper after push ermac keeps falling over when the chopper hits so i cant get the follow up jump in
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.
i’m back and i’m happy
Any tips for exact timing of calling out cyrax? Ive got it but not fully consistently
Most fun team in the game
how do you do the special after this string here 32:04
I can’t land the teleport into float.. any advice ?
Yeeeesss feed me tech lads 😂
I still like using Scorpion Kameo soley for more combo paths, extensions and damage. Sektor is my 2 choice then khameleon being 3rd when picking a Kameo for Ermac.

With his air 123 (Kairn Kreator) sometimes, the pop up is more intense than usual. I've had it fluke now and then, but can never replicate it. Any idea what causes it?

High gravity+very delayed air 1 hit but it's kinda inconsistent. I get it often from the last 123 in the 2 bar teleport combo he showed for the 49% combo

@davidepanceri8192 Yea I noticed it seemed extremely random. I was just curious into what the potential triggers were Cheers 👍
Honestly they really need to un-jerky-ify his design back to the deception/mk9 look. I way orefer the mystic spirit warrior more than the undead ghoul
Im just glad they gave him a mask
