Hey guys. Decided to throw this on YouTube. 16 hits. The most I’ve seen thus far. Love Ermac!

Yeah ermac doesnt have many good rush down toold. Most his combos can just be ducked ,aking them unsafe. You have b 1 1 4 which will hit duckin and 1 2 1 string. His f 4 or is it 3? i cant rember the low kick high kick string is semi safe. If you do it close to opponent both hits will connect. If your far the second kick whiffs making it unsafe. ALso I think characters with the fast uppercuts can punish this string on block. Not to sure.
I been doing the hover cancel out of combos. Magneto style almost haha. Do any string you can cancel out of then d. d, u, to float then either cancel back to the floor or the fire ball thingy. Keeps them guessing and they cant jump at you or press a button or the fire ball thing will hit them. Train them to block the air force ball then next time around cancel float and tart some pressure with low mid n throw
pleased to meet you all! so glad there’s so many Ermac fans
Basically Ermac is all about mind games trying to get in, some of his combos can be ducked like you said Iloveu but at the same time you can teleport cancel them and trick the opponent. 
I made a small ermac combo vid showing what he is capable of his BP,BP (Nether pain) does plenty of damage 11% by itself and it’s a great combo starter. for opponents that duck under it it’s best to use his back+BPx2 then cancel to force lift :lol:

my combo video is pretty basic and shows that some short combos do more damage than long combos. I know Ermac is capable of more so I’ll be working on more vids soon.
just dropping by to say ermac is fun as fuck. having alot more fun with this game that i originally thought i would have after dropping sub-zero and using ermac.
also thanks for the hover cancel vid ^^
ehhmmm…how do you exactly cancel the hover slam?
and how do you cancel it into another move?
i dont get it from the vid!
on the first one throw in a dash and 2 hps then the push and see the damage, it should be pretty good
Ermac is sick. Wish he had a good overhead, but that might be overkill with all he does have.
I use Ermac, though I haven’t been online yet, I’m just trying to get some combos down., which I can do on a practice dummy, but it’s a whole different story on a character actually playing :).
So what do you guys usually do to start matches off, I’ve just kind of been feeling out my opponent, and not doing anything crazy.
Also, does Ermac have any decent wakeup options?
He does have an overhead it’s <-+FP which can combo with Force Lift or Force Push. I think it’s a good overhead sometimes opponents block low thinking it’s a high attack.
@alexgators
I start my matches with Force Push or jump in FP, or hover cancel teleport. as for wake ups… I tend to use Force Lift
Yeah I’m one of those players that can do some nice combos in training mode, but when the opponent is actually moving it’s a different story lol. But even in matches if I get a chance to pull off a combo I can, it’s just everything else in between I have problems with

Really Easy combo I did… No Bar 47%… and then it goes up from there using meter. 61% with X-Ray.

Really great videos, thanks for uploading them.
thats definitly not an overhead!
i ask again:
how do you do this?
[media=youtube]iOKKoBKu3DE&feature=channel_video_title[/media]
cant you see the commands in the vid? dd cancels it and doing a teleport motion does that from the hover…
You’re welcome 
@ Blackula
really good that you used annotations & split the vids, it really helps to understand ermac’s options, thanks :tup:
d,d,u to perform hover, hold u to stay hovering, release u to fall, he teleported after
You are correct it is not an overhead and I apologize for giving you false information my fault. However I recently found that Up+BK works an an overhead, Just tested it vs the AI, set to duck and always blocking, since you cannot block it low it can only be blocked standing 
will make a video about this if no one else has
Edit: Video of low kick [media=youtube]wk3vSn4ejV0[/media]
You’re welcome.
If you notice in the vids, I follow a pattern with each following combo. There was a method to my madness. I would always start off with a meterless base combo. Then I would do the same combo using 1 bar of meter, then 2 bars, and then an Xray if applicable so you can see the different damage outputs and determine if it would be wise to use meter in combos instead of saving it for Xray. I figured it would be easier to follow that way rather than organize them by just damage.
