they are fakes. There cannot even be an error macro message in MK, sin-ce macro's don't have to do shit with graphics. Scarlett is a proven joke too. Besides, this is not Power Rangers.

you seem less cocky than the others, which i honor because no one likes the n00bs that come in and just make accusations "ErMac is in MK1!" then produce a fake (im name dropping so dont get pissy)...so the best advice i can give you is to look at this particular forum and just see all of the Ermac threads...its your decision, but i believe until the day we get Ed Boon drunk and get him to answer the question and/or show us how to do it, it's just not true...

Later

The simplest answer is, it's just not true, at all. The closest thing to Scarlet in any game is in UMK3, where there is a Shang glitch you can morph into a female ninja on the second player side while doing Jade's projectile protection move right inbetween morphing back and forth, she will come out purplish red, same for P1 side, a perfect pallet error looking like Tanya, in yellow.

The glitches are real. I have seen both of them in My Mk 1 and 2 versions.

Stop lieing.

This thread should be closed.

Is this Raintile from TRMK???

They both exist as random pallette glitches in the games.

The Ermac glitch did not happen, ever. It was a J.O.K.E.

Skarlet never happened either.

Skarlet isn't quite Skarlet in UMK3 because she's really a dark purple.

CLOSE THIS THREAD.

If anyone, someone should understand how macro's are related to digiti-
zed graphics..none. Anyone who is syaing Ermac, Scarlett ... Nimbus Ter-rafaux existed is a liar.

The only thing you could most probably see were the color depth or byte distorsions of a badly programmed or fuctioning output screen. Graphical rams may produce something similar on PC's, thats different though.

Macro is a debugging script, nothing to do with pallet glitches.

Yep. That's me

It's funny how MK fans are so obsessed with rainbow palatte swap ninjas that if a glitch happens where a ninja turns a different color it's OMG A HIDDEN CHARACTER OH WOW! and will be talked about for years. But if like Jax turned a different color no one would care to even post it here.

OMG it's Super Liquid Metal Ridiculous Hyper Jax of Death....!!!!one11!!

That pic reminds me of something that basically proves my point. There's that Goro glitch in MK1 SNES that turns Goro silver. No one cares or remembers this. Yet everyone still loves Ermac. Here you have basically the same thing as what the believers think Ermac is, and it's REAL and very accesible, but nobody cares. I guess you have to be a ninja to be "mysterious".

thats exactly the point is whz the MK characters are becoming so ridiculously exalted. Funny. MK never meant ninjas for me.

Oh my god it's Scorpion...but red! Wow! It's so cryptic! It's so mysterious! I am on the edge of my seat! What's next!? Scorpion...but grey?

MK2KungBroken, I don't think it's fair to say it was all a joke and it never happened. It's very likely that on one of the millions of games played as scorpion on mk1 that there was a glitch and the color palete changed even for a second. It doesn't neccesarily even have to be with the game, The TV used can just bug oyut all of a sudden and misread the colors the game is sending to it. You can argue that Toney Casey finding ermac was not real but to say it never happened? That is impossible for you to know unless you have magical powers and have seen every game of mk1 ever played.

Back in 1993 it wasn't easy for any person to just photoshop a still to make scorpion look red. You know part of the EGM pic is fake just because of how it says "ermac wins" in perfect white clear and crisp text. This was obviusly added in by EGM. But not many people have seen the original. But if this was a conspiracy I think boon could do a better job than making a polaroid picture.

I'm not fighting for either side of the Tony Casey incident, but it IS VERY POSSIBLE something LIKE that could happen and it's just Ignorant to deny that. I don't want to argue with you MK2KungBroken. I've read your previus thread here, and on some other forums. I'm afraid

Yes, the tint can be off distorting all the colors on the screen. I dont think anybody would say that is the source of the Ermac myth.

But, as far as Ermac turning red, I think its safe to say it is a joke and it never happened. For one thing, what pallet would scorpion accidentally switch to to allow that to happen? There is no pallet in the game suitable to swap in place of the ninja pallet to create a red ninja.

Also, the fake picture is not something that would need photoshop. The only thing that needed to be editted was the Ermac Wins text. The picture itself is of Scorpion in his normal color. The picture just happens to be dark enough to make it look reddish (the yellow banners in the background of the picture were also red because the darkness was affecting the entire picture). It looks to me like a photograph was taken of the screen and scanned onto a computer (not that big a deal, I had a black and white hand scanner back in 94 that I got for $30 off of someone). A glossy picture will often end up looking like that after being scanned because the glossiness screws up the scan.

The Ermac thing dealing with error macro is impossible to happen, read above. And besides, there are no swappable objects in it, so the myth is absolutely a myth. And a false story.

Tear through Mk with Delphi (as I recall thats what MK1 uses, same with any Windows so far) and you will not find a single mention of a macro resembling anything graphical, so an error macro cannot produce a graphical glitch, becouse it is a programming impossibility.

What Casey described was clearly not a glitch. He said Ermac was speaking like Reptile does, giving clues and then saying something when he got to him. The Ermac he described was a fully developed hidden character with a specific way to fight him. He also claims to have seem him twice on two different days.

If he just saw a red tinted Scorpion then why the BS about him giving clues? It's a matter of credibility and he has none at all.

And we could say "well you don't know 100%" all day and get no where. We don't know for 100% that Shao Kahn isn't hidden in MK1. We don't know for 100% certain that Stryker isn't actually a robot. Maybe Ed Boon is actually an octopus disguised as a human. It's been over a decade. let it go already.

As i already mentioned i'm not fighting for either side, just because it was such a long time ago and it's hard to prove either side.

Why people still try to find the words like "macro" "ermac" or etc lol. In MKT versions there are text like "Hyper Fatality" "Boon Wins" "Johnny Cage Losses Big Time" and stuff but noobody cares about it, so it should be like Ermac in MK1.

No one has to try to prove Ermac isn't in MK1, they have to prove he is and they can't.

Yup, there is just something about Ermac that attracts crazy followers.

My favorite find hidden in one of them was in MK2 for PC. I found the line "If you are reading this you have no life." How true. How true.
