Everyone is going nuts with option selects lately, and with good reason. Ermac has two that I know of, but if there are more feel free to post them here.
I'm not sure of the exact definition of an option select, since this is new to me. But the general idea is, you input an attack and then a special right after. If your opponent blocks, the special will not come out and you won't be punished for it. If they are hit with the cancelled normal, you will get the special. It is a win win situation for you, especially if you are Ermac. His option selects mean combos.
B2 xx Force Lift:
This one is odd. I input B2 1 as if I am going for that string, but then hit down back for the negative edge. I believe you can input B2, d, b, 1 all in a row and it will still work, but I have not tried it so much. From there the combos are just standard BnB.
Deep Jumpkick xx teleport:
The teleport option select only works off of a deep jump kick. If you input the teleport after kicking them in the head, your teleport will still come out and you will get full combo punished unless you are lucky and they let go of block for some reason.
Here are the combos you can use:
DJK xx teleport, 12 xx force lift, F4 (25%)
DJK xx teleport, 22 xx force lift, F4 (29%)
DJK xx teleport, 12 xx force lift, 22 force push. (34%)
DJK xx teleport, 22 xx force lift, 22 xx force push. (38%)
DJK xx teleport, 22 xx force lift, B1 2 F1 (opponent much reach corner), force push. (39%)
DJK xx teleport, 22 xx force lift, FJK xx teleport, D1 xx forcepush. (40%)
DJK(crossover into corner) xx teleport, 22 xx force lift, B1 2 F 1, 22 xx force push. (43%)
I'm not 100% sure about the DJK crossover. I cannot tell if my kick is low enough when it hits to option select out the teleport on block. I think it is legit, but that is a very situational combo anyway.
