I would make my own chart, but i don't wanna be crucified for it :oops: :eek:
The ermac boards are fairly civil. Not much stuff for me to clean up here usually.
You can go ahead and make a match up thread. Just try and give reasoning for the numbers that you provide for the match ups as this is something people generally hate the most. No reasoning behind anything....

just throwing this in here , my own way of dallying between combos to get my souls back : combo into soul ball ji2 b12 (this part) ji2 then either low air blast, or d4, both leave them close enough to follow up with b3 or f4 , if you are ballsy and land a b3/f4 tele it can be looped
i know he has ex lift resets but all my meter goes on armoring out of the corner :)

The safest way to recharge the soul ball might be using 11 after b12, +14 on hit so guarantees b3 or f4 and +2 on block so we keep our turn.
I don't know exactly how positive is the air soul blast on hit, but from my testing, b3/f4 are not guaranteed. Can't say I've messed that much with air soul blast/low poke after jip so I don't know if its a real mix-up, maybe other Ermac players can comment on that.

11 on block doesn't guarantee your turn, you'll only get a D1 if they don't feel like blocking and if they do you're -10. You may get D3, it may trade depending on the counterpoke. But a backdash/armour is always a possibility. You don't get any mid hitting move at +2. However stopping 11 short to 1 and trying to sneak in something additional is always worth a go every now and then.

You're right, I should've phrased it better. You get the d1 option at +2 and that might open up some mind games, but its not free pressure or anything like that.

I have officially fallen in love with MoS. The feels from a teleport read into vortex for 60%+ damage makes me feel fuzzy. Why I didn't play Ermac at the start, I don't know.

I wanna come back to Ermac. But he just doesnt feel the same way he was in MK9... Still fun to play a little bit in casuals though.

Yes please, i love mystic but its really hard to win with him, its just too much risk on that push and a lack of a decent projectile makes it worse, it feels like every time you do a push it should be a hard read, or else youll get blown up by most of the cast, do you guys prefer the standard soulball from mos if ever? For me id go for the mk9 shao kahn like projectile, and make it faster otherwise both the push and projectile would both be unsafe even on mid range :(

They can simply make push less negative and burst completely safe. You don't have much damage in Mystic so why can't they let him have safe options after low\overhead.

Sadly it will never happen :(
