Guys I’m starting to run out of hype soundtracks to use for these videos 😅 Anyways, what do you guys think about Ermac currently? Is he strong? Mid or weak?
Easy, you need to keep a full screen distance as much as possible. That way his crappy projectile and his bloackable teleport are easy to counter. Don't get tricked by blocking low in front of him he will full combo you, I'd rather take the crappy low levitate combo (just check for his kameo)
Another banger video, I love these types of videos because it feels so relatable. Everyone starts with a character, gets better with them and eventually masters them so to see that journey done with some of my favorite characters is downright awesome to watch
He feels like a rush down character once you stop ending your combos with bf2 but instead go for some safe setups/safe jumps after finishing the combo in different ways. If you know your combo routes, you'll have a meaty advantage with possible armor breaks. Ninjakilla fully demonstrates it. Once you have that down, that's where your plus frames come from.
this is my favorite mortal kombat series and one of my favorite youtube series! keep it up i really like this video format and hope to see more characters!
Love when you do these videos! It's inspiring me to learn more of the roster that I wouldn't initially be drawn to. Thanks for sharing your experience and progress and tips!
I love this series, really great to watch and also to adapt some of your learning methods! I would love to see a Quan Chi version as well, keep up the great content!😊
100% agree!!! I love reptile and consider him my main but started playing about with Ashrah, Raiden and Tanya and realised how limited Reptile is lol. I still love him though.😅
I have been playing Ermac from release. Few tips. You should never use meter in combo, if you can not to do this. Save metter to starters that cannot be continued another way, armor, aura, breaker and ench stomp. Ench stomp always hit, just do f4 db2 db3* and you have your full combo. Use cancel to through, this is hard to react. 2 bf1 throw, nobody expect that. If you have 3 metters, do d1 db1 or db4, Jacky allows you to continue this without metter, and you will break if oponent read you. Ench db3ff on block has +17. Ench db2 has no gap to interrupt. Ench bf1 has +1-3 depends on hit you cancelled. Master his optimal matterless combos. Like 12 db3ff f4 db2 242 db2f 123 f43 fk fk fu123 bf2 or 12 bf1ff f4 db2 242 db2f 2 fu123 f43 fk fk fu123 bf2. They do not have a lot of damage (32-37), but they drag opponent more then half of location to the corner. And then, in the corner, finish your combo to the f4 db2 212. Congrats, this can not be interrupted by armor waykup, you continue pressing. Btw, in the corner you can cancel air 123 to 123 to get great damage from everything even without metter. Throw? Fk fk fk fu123 db2 123 f43. Spirit capture? Same. Ermac is a very deep character in this will take much more the week to understand how to play him. Hi has plus frames and mixups, but they are very unobvious.
Ermac is a really cool character, I played him for a little bit in MKX. I used his master of souls variation, he was fun in that game. But in MK1, trying to do is combos and cancels hurt my hands lol. This video was really well put together, some of the edits made me laugh. Well done! :3
thank you i appreciate it! I hard at the beginning but I would say Homelander right now is making my fingers hurt..so looking back Ermac seems more easier lmao.
Pro tip for PS5 players: buy a Hori game controller. It’s wired, comes with Dpad , one joystick and 6 buttons where the second joystick would’ve been. No rumble motors so it’s light as hell and the buttons take a beating. Cheaper than PS5 controllers too, got mine for 70 CAD on amazon.
Honestly man this is one of the most original series I’ve seen and one of my favorites I wish more people did not just for this but for other fighting games too keep it up could maybe be the start of a new trend do shao next please I’m begging
my man, this is a great idea to make a videos like this one, i love those, its interesting to see the thought process to learning a character and it helps to develop myself as a player by following and not wasting time to develop it on my own too! keep doing what you do!
Love the videos and really enjoyed this one, Ermac takes a lot of effort to get to the level you got to, in terms of the next character, I'd be interested to see you learn smoke, he has tons of mixups, good whiff punishes and the vapors cancel allows for a lot of mind games, I'd love to see what you do with him
I would love to see 7 days of rain, rain is a character I’ve wanted to pick up but can’t get my head around how he works so I’d be interested to see how someone else learns rain
s u c c love the editing and the mk1 style movelist/title cards. as an ermac main it's always kool to see more players picking up our boi. if you're looking for more straightforward ermac play/damaging combos, scorpion is far less stress than janet and nets respectable damage.
How do you have your neter burn as R1, and do you have to still press the R1 button and the last input of the special move at the same time to amplified or no? If not how did you make it like that It's hard for me to do combos
I generally always prefer my block button to always be R1. Bumpers make it much more responsive. Maybe because in the past I aggresively hold my trigger to block and that wore out my controller. For amplifying it its not any issues, i am use to it. When you amplify, there is no reason to hold R1 because you are not blocking anymore, its done at the same time as your special move to enhance it. For fatal blow, you also have to swap Stance Button to L1 and L2 to throw. This will make activating fatal blow be bumpers only so it feels more natural.
I been wanting to try him since release and yet never played him in actual matches. His punch cancel combos are just insanely hard for me idky. Especially f2 cancel into f4 it never connect. Still I try in practice mode once in a while hoping I would eventually pull it off😭.
He has a dash cancel move kinda like Smoke. I wonder if that would work to add pressure ( I can’t remember what the input is, or what the frame data is, but I think I’ve seen others use it). Anyways I love these 7 day challenge videos, can’t wait to see who you play next! Edit: oops nvm you covered spirit punch. I should have waited until later in the video 😅
anytime i try to hover after knee deep it forces me to teleport even if i don't press 4 again. Like it gives me two attacks from the one press am i doing something wrong? been playing ermac since he came out and still get frustrated with how inconsistant he sometimes feels
Guys I’m starting to run out of hype soundtracks to use for these videos 😅
Anyways, what do you guys think about Ermac currently? Is he strong? Mid or weak?
I feel like he’s broken but with time people will know how to face him
Easy, you need to keep a full screen distance as much as possible. That way his crappy projectile and his bloackable teleport are easy to counter. Don't get tricked by blocking low in front of him he will full combo you, I'd rather take the crappy low levitate combo (just check for his kameo)
Also his down 1 seems really fast to me so don't get in a poke battle either

Glad you enjoyed!
Fr tho
His biggest flaw is that he has NO movement. He desperately needs a teleport cancel. Also, make his low projectile safe on block
100% agree
His back forward 1 cancel is his movement
@@bZgtHeSTD that is not movement. It’s no different than dashing
U can use air tele into ferra to be plus 1
Ohh man if he had a teleport cancel, that would have been awesome!
Love that you aren't like those other toxic, whiny, crybaby, racist, weirdo MK1 players. Glad that I found your channel

Oh my gosh, I would love to see you play to Takeda. I stopped playing but right before i did i played him and he's pretty damn good.
What made you stop playing? And I do plan on doing him eventually, but for now I have to cover one of the popular DLC characters next.
Tip for shrinking souls is to dash as soon as Ermac Kneels. That’s the sweet spot I found.

He's actually plus on his enhanced bf3 if u dashcancel, and he has got safe jump-ins after regular db4. Adds more pressure to his kit

I have never considered Ermac to be a rushdown character. I always thought he was more like a poke character, similar to Tanya and Scorpion

thanks for the recommendation!
Keep up the hard work love the video
Thanks! Will do!
I remember when using Janet and Ermac was 50 percent shit was so good man
he's litteraly my main, he's good if you learn the smoooves
If you want second cancel you need to spend bar. If you do 2 into enhanced bf 3, you can dash cancel on block for more pressure.
I love fighting games, realistically I believe you can play any character and be good at the Game it just depends on your play style.
Lol anybody can play any character good I did

@@misterten31 thanks for watching!
QUESTION: whats the fastest way to learn a new character? Do you just skip to Kombo string move list?
Any helpful tips or tricks to connect the dash cancel and jump after BF3? I cannot follow up BF3 to do an air combo to save my life.
Ima watch more in the future but use a little less sound effects, and I'll definitely come back and subscribe
please do homelander next, he’s so cool and you haven’t done any videos on him yet
I don’t play mk but you have a great series on hand if I may request could you do obscure chars like rain?
Pls do omni man next he is so cool
Cool but you don’t need 7 days to learn 30 minutes is enough 😂

@@rz810 yep and the others took me a while to get good with

Anything for Queen Sindel😵💫
I was gonna pick up ermac I feel like cancels are just something I can't do
It’s all muscle memory, like playing an instrument (assuming you have). It becomes second nature after 3/4 hours of practice
@ I got the basics of them now but ermac just wasn't for me I didn't like how he played
Try Kitana!
