I've always had one problem with Spectral Mac. The move that my whole variation is based on (ddu) is full combo punishable everytime I activate it during pressure.
It's negative on hit so I can't continue pressure even in the corner. If I do get a combo of any real damage it requires me to levitate and given its input it's not always a hit conformable thing.
B1 is low profiled.
XRAY is low profiled. I never use it but still.
My 50/50 in this variation is by far the most unsafe 50/50 in the game.
Most of my damage comes from corner gimmick or starting a ComBo with levitateING 2,3,4 string. And there's a armorable gap between each individual hit.
I got 2nd place at a tournament using him only because only 3 people there knew the MU. When played Yomi Cyusstryke(spelling?). It felt bad man. Knowing every levitate was getting punished.
The only saving grace is charge has armor and does 16% raw.
Giving my EX levitating air teleport armor isn't great since I'd have to spend 2 bars to get above 30%. It's a rare get out of jail free card.
Unfortunately I feel he's a for fun character I can only play in casuals. It's one thing to have a 50/50. It's another thing entirely when everyone else has one that goes into another 50/50, ends in a vortex to loop, or does more damage for less meter, or can be made SAFE. I ain't got those options. At the highest level of play I'm not feeling this variation.
As for Master of Souls our vortex costs infinitely more resources than any other in the game. And have you had to deal with the imposter shinnock MU you cry errytime guys. He can utilize lift better.
Master of Souls offer suffers from omid the opponent blocks your 50/50 they get big damage rivaling what you would've gotten on hit. Other characters are much safer or use less tools/resources to stuff you.
I can't combo off my WU. Which sends you full screen and I'm not a Zoning character... but Kung Lao, Kenshi, KUNG jin, Johnny Cage, Cassie Cage, Warlock Quan, Goro, Kotal, Predator, Shinnock, and plenty more have armored Wake up combo starters. Not saying Ermac needs one.
I'm saying he's missing a lot of nuance little things. All of these little things add up to a larger problem than what's on the surface. His good strings whiffing/being low-profiled getting fixed or touched up would be a start...
Sorry for the TL
