Combo List - Ermac MKX Ermac Combos Thread

I haven't hit as many opening F21 strings in the corner. More often than not it's either 222, F4 or B3. In the case of 222.

222 xxx db2u ~ 222 soul ball ~ ji2 ~ F21D2 ~ njp ~ 4 xxx db2 for 45% meterless.

F4 xxx Soul ball ~ ji2 ~ F21D2 ~ 4 xxx db2u ~ 4 xxx ex Db1 ~ d2 ~ d1 xxx db2 for 50% 1 meter.

get as close to underneath them as possible , so when u d2 there is less travelling before u can push

new midscreen 1 bar off of most starters this works : f21d2, RC f3 db4, b12, f4 bf2, jip 4 db4, d1 EX db1, dash njp, d2... 47%(njp has to be done with a slight delay or the d2 whiffs)

Whatsup guys. I made a basic combo guide for spectral and thought I'd share since it doesn't seem to get much love. I just started actually practicing this variation seriously and it's a blast, but super tough to be consistent with.

I cant, for the life of me, cancell a F4 into a float. How do you input the DDU so quick wtf

Try practicing the directional inputs only (fddu or bddu). It sounds weird but there's a certain rhythm to it and you actually don't have to input the command as fast as you think you do. Thinking of the 4 directional inputs as one fluid motion also helped me, rather than thinking of it as a cancel. it's certainly not easy to do, but I've gotten pretty consistent with it and I'm far from being an execution master.

magic.


try telekenetic powers.
I did for like 20 minutes until I just got so annoyed I switched to pyrokenetic powers and now I need a new controller

Interesting, will try it out. I really wanna get decent with Spectral only because it's such a mind fuck lol
Nobody expects you to use him

So I manage to consistently get the F2,1xxSoul Ascension but no way the F4. I got the FDDU like twice by itself. This begs the question as to why make a variation that is so hard to get down consistently with such a shitty pay off compared to the character's other variations

F3 (13 frame mid launcher, -3 on block) conversions (I suggest practicing these on a ducked stance opponent):

MoS
|Midscreen
F3 - d1 - Sball - JiP - f21d2 - JiK - TP - f4 - SB 38%
|Wall
f3 - d1 - 222 - SBall - JiP - f21d2 - NJP - 4 - SB 41% (very strict, Mystic converts f3 way easier in the corner, but b12 changes might help)
f3 - d1 - b12 - f21d2 - b12 - SBall - JiP - b12 33% restand (does not work if opponent was ducking before f3 on hit, maybe after beta)
Alternatively you can use this easier 1 bar conversion:
f3 - d1 - EX Telelift - f21d2 - 4 - SBall
into JiP - B12 33% restand
or into Soul Release - D2 - d1 - SB for 40%

Mystic
|Midscreen/Wall
f3 – d1 – Lift – NJP – f21d2 – rc 4 Choke 28%

f3 - d1 - b12 - f21d2 - 4 lift - NjP - 4 Choke (for beta, can't test)

so spectral has a nice little gimmick if u end combos in ex lift , you can do hover then crossup , you can do some other stuff off this too like jump in hover , hover cancel etc try it out !

Has anyone found anything new with Spectral? Especially in the corner because that's where I have no clue what to do.

do u mean combos ? if so here ya go friend :
f21d2, 4 hover, 1,1,1,1,1234 bf2
b3 hover, (go down very slightly) 1234 db2 ex, NJP, 4 hover , 1,1234 bf2
f4 hover, (slightly down again) 234 db2 ex, njp, 4 hover, 1,1234 bf2
and follow this formula

So in the air, 1 can actually hit the opponent? I always just start with 2, but I will give it a shot.
Thanks for the reply, and I was curious if there would be anything new now that b1,2 has faster startup (I know it can connect after teleport now).

with spectral you can sneak an extra b12 into your combos so midscreen: b3 tele, b12, f21d2, RC, b12, b12 bf2

Yeah but the tele seems somewhat unsafe. I've found that you can actually convert b3 with spectral's hover 3 normal if you're quick enough and it seems to make it somewhat safe, and then you can just cancel into hover tele-port b12, f21d2, RC into f4 bf2.

Thanks a lot for these replies though. I will test some moar combos when I get home.
