what else can u do with telekenisis? it'd have to be different from kenshi's.


mkda didn't rely much on special moves, thats why subby and frost were different...but people want more special moves so it may not be the same for mkd

In DA, some characters had good special moves, but most of the characters specials were to little and they sucked. Take mavado, kung lao and bo rai cho for example.

I think its hard coming up with specials for ermac, especially since theres now 2 teleknetics. I do want his green ball back, but for teleknetic moves, it really gets me thinking.

Perhaps he could break one of your limbs using his mind, and the opponent would studer for a bit. Or maybe, using his mind, he could choke slam you, OR he could fold a fist with his hand from far away, and it would breifly choke the opponent. And maybe he would have a special where if his opponent sends a special attack at him, he can send it back at them.

i wouldn't mind a telekinetic sheild for a defense/offense attack

but if he;s so much stronger than kenshi..then why play as kenshi?

ermac would have to move slow or have lame fighting styles for balance

Maybe Ermacs combos could be a little harder to pull off than kenshi's. Maybe ermacs styles could be more complicating.

then people will just be cheap and rely on his suped up special moves

True. But i think ermac will turn out to be just as original as kenshi was. Hopefully there specials will be totally different, as well as there styles. Ermac is more on the ninja styles, so there wont be much interaction with kenshi at that part.

I highly doubt ermac and kenshi will have any of the same moves. Though they will be telekenesis related.

yea but how different will they be?

One option is that Kenshi could have only Telekinetic Powers, while ermac has other pscychic powers (Teleport, energy ball.. protective shield.. etc.
A nice power for Ermac could be telekinetically return a fireball... like Nightwolf's techniche in MK3...unless nighty uses it... it would be cool....)

another option is that Kenshi should have basic powers (push, Pull, Slam) while ermac could have more complex one (Trip the opponent, telekinetically catapulting them up (like a long distance uppecut), and a telekinetic hit (*like an nvisible fireball)

Yea nice ones, but i already stated the returning projectile attack one.

Your rest are good and right. While kenshi is more on the teleknetic attacks, ermac could be more on the side where he tricks and confuses his opponents.

how about if ermac raises his opponent but doesnt do the slam - he could start a combo with his opponent flailing in the air like fujin's move. another one is to do a "freeze move" where glowing green bracers wrap around the ankles of the opopnent holding their feet to the ground whilst ermac could go to the back of the opponent and start a combo...

isnt ermac also telepathic? then that would open up a whole new line of special moves: self inflict - the opponent punches themselves and loses health or falls to the ground like jarek mk4 move, which ever looks more appropriate.

then he could also have ordinary special moves where he has to use agility and strength like the other characters but he could use his telekinesis to enhance that like a enhanced jumpkick or super punch.

after reading the ideas though i like:
plasma blast/fireball
the immune/reflect shield
self inflict
one more special would probably round the number out nicely.

I want Ermac to return with his classic "Nova Blast" and "Telekinetic Slam". I really have no idea what his third special move could be, I don't think they could give him his Teleport Punch or else Scorpion would have had his in MK:DA.

How about this move for ermac:

He can telekentically tear out blocks of the floor or background and throw them at his opponent. It would be much more powerful than the force push.

With Ermac being telekinetic, his weapon should float in the air and attack at his command. Therefore he wouldn't have to hold it and he could punch and kick the opponent at the same time when the weapon hits.

The idea of Ermac telekinetically using his weapon sounds interesting, But he couldn't fight aswell.

1. He'd be too busy concentrating on his weapon then to be also attacking.

2. Besides, Gameplay wouldn't work out too well. Nobody else can kick and punch while their weapon is flying around.

I want ermac to be superpowerful in MKD.

what do u think his storyline is?

just one of those guys that felt that something big was gonna happen and knew he had to be a part of it?


who's souls created ermac? it'd be weird if he's made up of the DK's old army

im glad that Ermac is back... it would be coo if he was made up of souls from the DK's army, so in turn he becomes like a general (hence the new threads)...

That would be quite amazing if it was to be true.

The invincible Ermac made up of the souls of the Dragon King's invincible army.

Though the only problem with that is Ermac's existence would be no more if the Dragon King was to bring forth his army once again...

I wonder if Ermac has the same complex that Marvel Comics Venom has in that he refers to himself as "we" instead of "I". If he is a collection of souls, he must have all of their memories, abilities and strenghts; or at least certain traits of all of them. If that's true on some level then, shouldn't we assume that Ermac is actually a more formadible fighter than we've been led to believe and is in some way immortal like Scorpion?

I'm Ghost!

I don't know for sure what his story could be, but whatever Ermac's story, it will be interesting.

Good to see so many people talking about story.

Ermac

Story: something relating to Shao Kahn & Kenshi

Weapon: A Telekinetic Sword

Fatalities: He lifts the opponent into the air...then he uses telekinesis to rip their arms & legs off.The body falls to the grond bleeding and screaming until the screaming dies out because the opponent has bled to death.

ALT COSTUME: The outfit he had in MK Trilogy.exactly like it.

Ermac huh? Well I guess I'll whip up a plot.
After being freed from Kahn's mind control by Kenshi, Ermac became a drifter, he did odd jobs, as a mercenary, guard, really anything for money, on his travels, he learned of the Deadly alliance, Ermac still had a vendetta against Tsung and set out to kill him, Kung Lao beat him to it. However with the resurrection(sp?) of the dragon king, it cast a strange effect on the remaining mummifyed warriors as they began calling out to loose souls, this threatened to rip Ermac's constitution apart as he is made of souls. His body would only hold together for so much time before he shattered into thousands of souls. In a desperate effort, he joins the Earth Warriors in an attmept to kill the dragon king and stop the mummifyed army from ripping his essence apart.
I also figure its possible that the dragon king could strike a deal with Ermac stating he could protect his souls if he commanded the mummifyed armies.

Weapon: Doubled sided sword
Fatalities: Teleketetic crush, Ermac uses his powers to crush the opponent into a pile of ripped and mushy torn meat.
Energery rift: Ermac summons a immese balled of green energy and fires, it bursts into a huge ray that incinerates the victim, leaving only their badly charred Skeleton.

well what kinda of fighting styles would a super dude made up of super souls have?

btw. i really like the idea of ermac fading away because the mummified army is grabbing loose souls and ermac is just that..a bunch of loose souls

Yeah, but ermac already got defeated before and none of his souls got lost or anything. Ermac is thousands of thousands of soulds made up into one. The idea about the dragon kings army absorbing him is ok, but i personally wouldnt want to see something like that happened to him. He's not li mei you know, hes someone to cool to have such a boring faith.
