If / Then Spear throw (far) = Duck or Spear throw (far) = Teleport -> Teleport (this is where you avoid his kick knockback by teleporting again) -> Uppercut Hammer throw (far) = Teleport -> (maybe walk a bit towards him) Uppercut. Spear throw (mid) = Teleport -> Teleport (this is where you avoid his kick knockback by teleporting again) -> Uppercut Hammer throw (mid) = Teleport -> (maybe walk a bit towards him) Uppercut. Taunt = Teleport -> Uppercut
The midrange throw is a bit tricky, sometimes you don't see immediately what he is throwing. But after your teleport you will be able to see what it is and then act accordingly (see above ^^).
- Don't get cornered - Try to keep him far > mid range with defensive mindset - Don't block the hammer throw - I believe you need like 20 uppercuts to kill him in a round. Don't worry you also win by having more health than him when round expires, so be patience.
Thanx mate, I ve done it now after about 20 tries lol
LOL the new parry glitch is hilarious. for those that dont know, parry moves (kang's parry, johnny cage's xray) can be done and then if they're successful, just holding down block will make them stay active infinitely.
It's beatable by fireballs, or in kang's case even throws & lows I think. Hilarious to see cage get multiple xrays in a row on people that don't know whats happening, though.
lol still having trouble getting in on people. execution in this game is very easy, but with ermac i feel like they can just downback (oh im sorry down BLOCK) everything i have outside of jumpins. not sure if i even have an overhead :/
and the high risk/high reward is kinda cool. i see startup, ex teleport for braindead ez 35-45% but if its blocked, there's 30-40% coming back at me. ermac seems more zoning really. fullscreen b/f1 is very nice and relatively safe, has fireballs, easily land giant damage air to air. his combos are just so fun to show off. oh and the teleport cancel glitch Lijoe posted on srk forums is pretty useful at certain cases. train them to jump and cancel into hcb1 into fatass damage :D

I main Ermac and I agree, it's super fun and his combos are quite intricate and stellar.
I've been practicing with Ermac mostly lately, and I have to say he is just awesome. There are a lot of variations he can do and he has a lot of high damage combos. And they all look awesome.
lol, that first episode feels strangely similar to to the very first episode of adventures ever, where that dude pulled off a Flash Kick - EX Flash Kick with Guile while it was lagging.

whoops sorry i typed teleport. meant hover if u didn't knwo already after hover go d,d to cancel the hover after a baited jumpp or cancel into a teleport if u see startup or something.
sorry bout that
also i learned that u+4/BK is ermac's only overhead known atm. can't followup with anythign afterwards, but it's still something.
So I just got this game and it is a lot better than I expected
So far maining Ermac and looking at Mileena and Johnny Cage as alts. Both don't seem as solid as Ermac but still pretty fun to use Can't wait to be able to practice more T_T
Hey, so I picked up this game and have been having a lot of fun with it. Right now, I'm playing mostly with Sub-Zero, and it's been pretty cool. I haven't played many fighting games before really, so I'm wondering if anyone knows of any general guides or good sites to go on to get a hold of basic strategies? Right now all I know are a few combos, and all of my strategy is mostly just me acting intuitively. I'm still having a blast though! :p

The best MK site is definitively Testyourmight.com
In all MKs I've been a Sub-Zero player, but in this one I'm seriously considering to put some time into Noob Saibot. His moves just look too fancy in this one
Also Ermac is getting on my nerves already, just by encountering him all the time in the Story/Ladder mode <.<
I'm maining as Smoke atm. In terms of damaging your opponent, your combos are pretty cut and dry without much variation, but I love his utility. His zoning is pretty good and is virtually impossible to be zoned himself. Many fireball spaming Reptiles and such don't even know what to do against him.
^Noob is really cool to play, but beware- his anti-zoning is pretty terrible. Can get really annoying in some match ups, you really have to be careful.
EPT
Can't wait to be able to practice more T_T
