Its not like Ermac is not beatable.. true that he will get a technical advantage vs some of the other characters but hey! fighting games is alot about matchups...

When u wer cornered whit Kano by Ermacs tele-push, u cud have throw a knife in between pushes if fast enough im pretty sure...

I still think that Ermac can tele-push,tele-push one after an other a bit too fast tho....
Hilde isn't not beatable either, but if you screw up, even once, you're DONE. Ermac is almost as bad.

Garlador said it perfectly. Dash blocking and praying isn't a good strategy to have to resort to and the game developers should know this.

Seems like everyone arguing against a nerf are the ones who like to exploit the cheapness of his moves.


And it sounds to me that everyone calling for a nerf is crying for the sake of crying, but hey, it's clearly fine and dandy when you're doing it.

I like to use Jade,Nightwolf and Noob against Ermac. He is a bit over classed to be balanced in the tier he is in...same goes for a few others. I could see some spam prevention or slowing down of the spammy pusher move. Online it is very hard to play against him because of the lag...blocking is important when fighting him and with that 2 second lag your getting hit when pressing the button. Offline Ermac seems ok but I have not played anyone offline yet to know if the problem is still the same. Funny thing is the last match I won today was against Ermac and I beat him with Nightwolf. I utilized block,the charge special and the lightning bolt...and when he would try to come in and change up I would uppercut or axe and arrow him.

The only reason people do it is because they can...it is clearly a two way street yes but if he was nerfed and balanced a little bit than no one would exploit it as much. Awhile ago when they were explaining that the characters would be more balanced for tournament players I thought each character could be matched by any other on the roster. Now we have tiers? That makes it broken unless both players use characters in the same tier. sorry double post.

I beat most Ermac spammers too, but it doesn't mean there isn't some type of exploit in Ermac's repetoire.

And that's the problem. IT SHOULDN'T.
You shouldn't have to counter character to beat Ermac or Smoke or whoever that's Spam Tier, it's fucking stupid in my opinion.
You should be able to play as one character and have a fair even match against ANY OTHER character.

UMK3-Ermac laughs hysterically at this thread. At most I think Ermac should either have a bit of damage nerf or just have a tighter window for his "piss-easy combos" as TheDarkPassenger put it.

And buffing characters isn't that much more difficult than nerfing them.

Yeah Im not calling for a nerf, I know that as Kano Im outclassed from the get-go and Im fine with that. Tiers dont bother me, but an infinite is game breaking, and I think if you get cornered (and Ermac has many many tools to put you there) and you cant teleport, it can lead to an infinite. Hell I dont even think that you couldve teleported fast enough out of the situation I was in.

Don't get me wrong, you seem to be on the up and up and your OP is valid--I was just making a nerdy joke based on my UMK3 snobbery.
