he was actually done pretty well in deception. I say add a bit more black in his attire, and maybe a long, whispy scarf over his face for the mask. Add some excellent fatalities and you're set!

I think Ermac should be in his/their MKD Alt costume for MK2011. It would be a good revamp to his/their overall perception. Other than that, he/they is/are fine the way he/they is/are, and I think he/they should definately make it into MK2011.

Ermac was one of the best reimagining in the older gen MKs. He looked perfect in MKD and would like that costume (less rubber) on him, like red robes but different that Shang in MKDA. I still want his green telekinesis moves such as the slam, and when he pulls you to the other side of the screen. He needs some brutal ones too, not just lifting or throwing. But he needs like bone crushes and a powerful push. His fatality needs to be less corny than his past ones where he just smashes your body. He should do concentrated blows where he mutilates your organs or smashes your brain in your skull and have it leak out your eyes and mouth.

They did a good job in bringing Ermac back in MKD but for his attire I want it to be his Alt from MKD and MKA, for his special moves I want all of them that they had in MKD except for the one where you float in the air and slam your back on the ground and make your opponent go flying in the air, For fatalities I want the one from MKD where he scrunches his opponent up into a ball then he rips them in half. Please Ed Boon have Ermac in MK9 you brought him back in MKD and did an excellent job with him dont ruin it for him! : (

Ermac is one of my favourite characters in the series.He never used to be until they changed his look and made him awesome in MKD. His story was also much improve along with his gameplay. I would like him in this new game and perhaps we could have his origins explored some more and perhaps witness his creation first hand.
Appearance wise, if they take his MKD look and use that as the source material and give him something all new, then I think that'd be great. I liked how he had his face covered as it adds to his mystique and I think that should be kept for him as well as the glowing green eyes.
His special moves are fine as they are though some new telekinetic moves would be nice to see. It'd be a neat feature if he could start moving bits of the environment around or even pushing the opponents projectiles back at them.
New Fatalities please! No more Telekinetic Slam unless they lose the explosion at the end. I'd much prefer to see a severely beaten body.

I actually think the old telekinetic slam fatality should be used as his xray,first slam breaks back,second ruptures an organ, and finally they land on their head and neck.

I've talked about this for a while. Ermac is a well done character with loads of potential. A unique and intriguing story, and a nice design. I found that his MKSM outfit was the best, slightly tweaking the Deception outfit to make it worlds better:



As for fatalities, here are my ideas:
-Souls exit Ermac's body, tearing the opponent to pieces, then re entering Ermac.
-Telenkinetically crushing the opponent from the inside

As for story, my idea was he would come in around the MK3 story as usual, then by the end of the game, the climactic battle, he joins the forces of light, or simply goes his own way, becoming a neutral force. Either way, they need to keep the element of him leaving Shao Kahn, his side switch was always a good story point.

In short, I think Ermac is a great character with tons of potential, who deserves to be in this game, and many more.

-yes i want Ermac in he's my #'1
-i like his classic costume in umk and mkt
-all his moves
-it would be like a throw ,telekinesis pickup and the throw his opponent on other side of him or can slam on other side and bounce up for a juggle combo.
-i like his classic fatality the best were he uses telekinesis to pick up his opponent and slam repeatedly into the ground till they explodes.
-if they make a new fatality for him it would be cool to see something like... use telekinesis to pickup opponent use 1 had to levitate his opponent in one place and then use other hand to telekinesis ripped off his arms and legs and for finish rip off his head

The only reason Ermac might not be in the game is because the developers may think he'd sell like hot cakes as DLC.

And they'd be right.

Couldnt have said it better myself. He needs to be in this game and i think itd be kind of cool if for his x-ray move they did a kind of brutal version of Kenshi's Tele-Furry special in MKA. That fatality idea of him crushing the opponent from the inside sounds so badass

Ermac is one of my top favorites and I thought he was perfect in MK:D, the only thing they can do is improve upon that, not change it. He has to be in.

I totally agree with TemperaryUserName... developers might put him in DLC because he WILL SELL ALOT and that is what I fear... I hope they dont.. I love ermac but I dont want to buy him lol

It will be a total shame to not have Ermac. He has interesting potential, cool story, background, powers, etc. Hopefully this game will help develop his character further cuz I think in MK1-3 he was still working for Kahn.
