I think the saddest part about Ermac's design is that if you watch the audience's reaction to Ermac at SDCC, you'll notice that barely anyone cheered for him because they could not recognize him at all. It's ironic that Ermac is more recognizable when his face is covered up rather than exposed, although I guess that can go for any of the ninja characters.

I've been feeling that since the first trailer tbh, as far as the ninjas go. The hyper realistic graphics and simplified costumes just have a lot of them looking like...some guy. If you took off the ninja masks and had them all stand side by side with Raiden and Kung Lao as well I wouldn't be able to tell you who is who... and I guess you could say that's always been true but at least the costumes were designed in a way to give instant recognition. Now that they're just normal clothes you really have to rely strictly on the color coding. Which I guess is a throwback in its own way.

If anything as a nice compromise (or scummy sales tactic), DLC costumes is a option. I know it makes wonderful sense for series like Street Fighter where you get bored of seeing SFII versions of Ryu, Chun-Li, and Guile as default looks all the time.

Exactly, this guy gets it. The design has to incorporate who they are and tell you stories like this. If its just a general cool design but doesnt suit the character, its then a weak design. Him revealing his own form is both key to identifying the character's unique attributes and simultaneously distinguishing him from the rest. While they could do better at making a good design in this direction, that direction is still key, as without it it's simply more generic

Of all the OG ninja pallet swap colors, red was always the best looking, imo, and I love his backstory, especially when it was revealed the lead soul is Kitana’s father to explain why he turned good, and the fact that he has telekinesis. His MK 9 outfits, especially his alternate, are not only, EASILY, his two best outfits, but two of the best of any character in MK history.

Ermac’s 3D era specifically deception and shaolin monks alongside his mk9 designs are the pinnacle of Ermac designs in my opinion, he has this vibe of a psychic desert sage, I always liked the idea he wore baggy clothing and covered his body in bandages because he’s got 1000’s of souls inside him that he needs to keep balanced and under control, and if any of them see a reflection of themselves in a body that isn’t their own well I think chaos erupts in Ermac it’s pure panic for them so it’s just easier to cover your body, I never liked the idea that he’s an undead mummified zombie, I prefer when he looked mixed race with darker skin in the early games, cus yeah if your bodies a construct made of 1000’s of souls especially those from edenia you’d be mixed race just a bunch of question marks tbh ??? I’d love if they threw in features from other outworld people, like mild tarkat fangs, or zateran scales at points on his body, maybe he gets phantom limb pains from the shokan or vampires within him from extra arms and wings he never grew, just this alchemical/ chimera/ homunculus combination of parts with boundless psychic energy, surviving as a desert sage in the wilds of outworld, he’s either a shao Kahn slave or in the og timeline when kenshi sets him free he’s a wandering sage and champion, he’s Ermac.
@ColonDee.
@ColonDee. 10 ай бұрын
Damn, this comment says it all. I never bought the idea that he's gotta be a mummy boy just because he's a reunion of souls. I see many people justifying his appearance in MK X/MK 1 with that, but you have plenty of possible design choices that fit his lore and actually he being a mummy is not a good one imo, and that's what makes me agree with Max when he says someone at NRS has a thing for mummies.
@llewtree3013
@llewtree3013 10 ай бұрын
@@ColonDee. honestly I think if you get rid of the mummy/undead look and try to realistically worldbuild a character with 1000’s of people within themself Ermac becomes so much more interesting, the sorts of things they’d choose to do how they’d dress the solitude they would want to live in, they’re a collective, possibly at genius levels, I want to see Ermac as this wandering sage a hermit across outworld, being a champion for good, almost an artificial god filling raidens role for outworld since shao Kahn abandoned the role to rule, give him spooky vibes it suits him but he doesn’t need to be decomposing to do it, the undead look is cheap character design in favour of a neglected story

Ermac's history I remember fondly from the days of EGM. He is from the original Mortal Kombat. A photo was published of someone taking the "Ermac Wins" screencap in the magazine. It is the oldest history I can think of for Ermac. Back then, there were guesses on what Ermac actually meant, whether it was "Error Macro" or "Error Machine". Macro makes more sense. There was no info on Ermac other than that one published pic. He will always be one of the original 4, at least to me.

It's true that Ermac is short for error macro, but the thing is - they made the Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile sprites in MK2 by dressing a guy in a red ninja suit. When you went into the arcade machine's settings menu, if you went into the ermac menu and looked around, you'd find the non-pallet version of the MK2 ninjas - meaning a ninja in red. He HAD to be a ninja in red in the next game.

Amazing series! Glad to see my screenshot at 13:28 :) Although keep in mind that if you open the screenshot in full screen on the website, it will load a higher res version, which might work better for videos. Feel free to use them!

You're probably thinking of Ermac being in MK4 because of Scorpion's Alternate color which is close to the same Orange/Red colors he has in UMK3.

My guess is they probably weren't done designing him like how they introduced Joker early on Kombat Pack 1 trailer. At launch hopefully Ermac will look a lot better.

I love Ermac too. I really hope his MK11 outfit will be his alternate outfit in MK1 so that we can make up for what we saw in the Kombat Pack trailer or give him what he wore on MK9 with the hood

I’m hoping that he just isn’t wearing a mask for the reveal. In the trailer with Reptile he spends quite a bit of time without the mask, but in gameplay he wears it often. Hoping Ermac is similar.

Honestly even if they DO cover his face in the gameplay, he still looks awful cuz so much of his body is still uncovered. He looks like a gross-ass hollow from Dark Souls.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think in MK11 they redesigned Joker’s face after his initial reveal got backlash. The same thing could happen here with Ermac.

Ah, I'm sorry but that's kind of a cope haha. Like, all of the ninjas have had their intended look on their reveal, with their cool masks and all, this is (and hopefully _was_ ) his intended look when that trailer came out.
