Sup Guys, I want to try to bring you a cool topic to talk and chill while discussing ermac.
So what do i mean by Redesigning Ermacs Variations. I Dont want you guys to discuss what you would do to this or that existing variation, theres already a topic for that, what im looking for with this thread is for everyone that loves ermac, and has been an ermac fan or not to share what their vision for ermac would be if it was in your hands ( use the existing ermac as basis, so its core fighting style would remain, strings etc... ) Change Specials/Variation specific stuff/ even visual diferences. For me it would be the following:
Variation 1: Master of souls, i would keep everything mostly as is because i think its a cool variation. But i would change the theory that Ermac uses Kinetic attacks. For me it makes no sense for Ermac a being made of souls to remain A Kinetic power user, it makes more sence for him to be a Soul user: By this i mean his Force Ball would be changed visually, instead of a green flying projectile i would love it to be something with "ghost Skulls" if that makes any sense?! Also his Souls flying around him need to be more skully, as in tortured souls, not whisp like balls flying around him...
Variation 2: Soul Manipulation, For this i would make it a complitly Zooning Ermac. Taking the previous change to the thematic Visuals, i would love for Ermac to have A tortured Soul Hanging Behind his Shoulder. Since the Force ball would be a Master of Souls specific attack, what i would do with this Zooning Ermac would be this: His force Lift would be the tortured soul behind him that would grab the opponent and keep him in the air, and the EX version would be similar but instead the soul would pick him by the face and slam him on the ground... He would have a faster non binding projectile with a similar but smaller visual than the previously mentioned Force Ball (Ghost like flying Skull). Lastly i would like to keep something similar to Force push but more in the lines of what kenshi has.. but instead of a charge, the Soul would pick the opponent by the neck Choking him and then tossing him half a screen Ex Version would have him Choke with Both hands and it would toss the opponent further for more space... (this Variation would not have a teleport )
Variation 3: Soul Consumer: Some characters can Enhance their power like Liu Kang and i would love to have something similar on Ermac but a little more Ominous. This Variation would be resource Based. What i would do is get a visual effect surrounding him like as in Souls (Skull Shaped whisps) constantly coming out of his body and dissapearing in and upward motion (dunno if i can explain it any better XD) and i would add 2 new Specials outside his Core ones.
1: Soul Consume: Ermac Cosumes his Resource Souls ( Can do this twice Before having to use Special nr.2 )to increase his normals Dmg % by a bit. Ex Version would heal him slightly something similar to Mileena´s bites.
2: Soul Absortion: can be comboed into "comand Grab" that consumes surrounding Souls to replenish the resource While Reducing the dmg % of the opponent slightly ( Nothing OP ofc ) EX Version would leave a DOT on the opponent for a short time, Erron Black like...
Overall Visual Changes or modifications on the character: I would Remove Vanish but keep Levitate (not flying). His ground Stomp would not be him slaming into the ground but a conjure of souls he launches into the ground...
Force blast would remain visually and technically the same as it looks like he is exploding Souls infront of him, i like that...
Hope you guys like my ideas for him and looking forward to knowing what everyone thinks Ermac Should be. Discuss.
