Mortal Kombat X - Punishing Ermac's Ground Slam

Not sure if any of this was already known, but I played around in training, found this, and thought I'd share it.
Here's to Ermac getting nerfed down into bottom 10 in this next patch.

[@SasukeUzumakiHD]

I never knew you could counter that move. I thought it was unblockable no matter what. Good stuff!

[@DECENTcrew]

its a low hit you can block it

[@alk3603]

cameronjr8 I know. My channels gone I'm secret now

[@solcieloender]

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Vman

[@solarphantom90]

nice

[@anotherpersonfromnorfolk1587]

OMG RUN! FUCKING RUN! IT'S A FLYING VMAN, HOLY SHIT

[@bigtimebecktheman7275]

and I am also sure that mrslaracroftx would love to watch this

[@doppsy1571]

how did you get jacqui's cosplay costume to turn silver?

[@qmanplayzyt2265]

Vman When is your next very hard tower and who u using

[@nastynash9610]

next year knowing him

[@Vman95100]

Harsh.

[@jarohnkeyes3451]

I know right.

[@Kezajaws01904]

Harsh, but true XD

[@cadenbrust5226]

+Vman true tho :/

[@DJTechz104]

XD that ending, but that Kotal Kahn punish is broken, I also play Kotal so you've just given me a broken technique if I ever come up against that 👍🏻

[@TheRobert2143]

This was awesome to find out, considering I'm a Kotal main. Mystic definitely needs that nerf and maybe MOS for a little bit. Spectral has too many gaps to be broke.

[@axis_fuzion]

Even tho I love Ermac, I do feel he needs a nerf in Mystic. Either lower the pushback or make it a tiny bit less safe. I also feel the float shouldn't be plus but it should also OTG but then that would make him even more powerful. Overall Ermac is fine the way he is except in Mystic.

[@jaelonisaiah2212]

You absolute blessing from the heavens

[@tyreeesebaity5454]

That awesome Vman,Nice video as always.

[@mr.kickassgamer9557]

I think you can punish it with Kano's Kano ball or air ball as well. I've done that a couple of times to people online. That, or you can throw out a projectile(with most characters) just as Ermac is coming down. Good video Vman :)

[@Blurrux]

Vman. Who do you hate more? Kitana or Wonder Woman

[@darkaxelshadow]

Vman i love watching your playthroughs of fighting games but this videos explains so much more of in depth mechanics in matches. man your awesome!

[@FMTSouls]

How do you add dialogue to your videos? I think it makes them so funny lol. Is it simple annotation or is it something else?

[@PyroInferno110]

No...He edits them obviously...

[@Ali-xn6mn]

This is brilliant, more info. The better gameplay we get

[@coragiouscarnyllies544]

+Vman You're AWESOME at fighting games!! Hey if you want, any chance of you playing as Sub-Zero: Grandmaster Variation, Kung Lao: Hat Trick Variation, or Johnny Cage: Stunt Double Variation, any of these three that you want, but you don't have to if you don't want to If not, I am SO SORRY for interrupting your AWESOME day, Sorry!!

[@ggImJesus]

Though you cant full combo punish it you can punish with tornado strike

[@Iqzzy-KO]

Wassup Vman? Good vid bro!

[@theodoredieterman4002]

Two things: 1: when are you going to do arcade ladders again and 2: how does this work? You're getting your ass kicked!

[@DECENTcrew]

Ermac is fine the way he is lol. They're not going to nerf him because you can't deal with his pressure. he only has 2 plus frames he is full of holes and punishable strings

[@paulreed3778]

Vman no shhhh I play spectral and when people know about this it makes it very difficult to play

[@cry0genik]

Broken? FOH with all the other nonsense in this game, leave Ermac alone!! :)

[@albertojosepintomaldonado4307]

v man you can do a klassic tower whit leatherface pls Greetings from Chile

[@DecayDent22]

can u do something with the giant snake in the background on the junglemap? like strangle someone with it or so?

[@yousefmichel6603]

Good job vman. These videos are better than towers. Keep going on towers though

[@11tailedjinchuriki34]

Yo Vman, are you gonna do a ladder match? If so, whose character and variation?

[@matthewareynoso]

Injustice 2 is coming baby, cannot wait for your videos about it

[@andrewrogers6197]

Such bullshit they're nerfing Ermac.

[@jalenstanley5875]

You and vman can join the mortal kombat club on Xbox that my brother made :)

[@dashturkson1322]

Get injustice 2 when it comes out you'll be good at it and op and yeah haha

[@thesuperboss26]

I thought you could just jump to counter it? Ehh its been awhile

[@shiazumassage7480]

im your biggest fan Please respond back

[@вєѕт-к7ф]

I miss you so much

[@hemlock-freaky8860]

Are you going to do every character just one time or do all three styles of them

[@dkmfurlaff6015]

Hey Vman, what's your opinion on reptile?

[@NileshUmapathy]

Isn't Mortal Kombat XL dead now?

[@thatonebacon9912]

No, wtf are you talking about. There's not very many casuals anymore but theres plenty of vets. Maybe when the new Injus tice comes out it'll die but IMO the MKX fighting engine is better than any other fighting game out there, the rest feel clunky and slow which is probably why MKX still has a fanbase.

[@section4344]

You're surprise MKX is still alive when it's only been out for a year in a half? Killer Instinct came out 3 years ago and it is the most player of any other fighting game on the Xbox One as of E3.

[@chrisgill5405]

ThatOneBacon take a look at dragon ball xenoverse 2

[@Natan2142]

What's the music in the background ?

[@offtheheezy9636]

[@skilledskull718]

Its only right if u play with ermac or sub zero

[@2000sKidd]

I love u no homo. No but seriously good shit finding this lol.

[@javierumar8295]

lol i just got done watching the story 4 mkx lol

[@reezyisback]

Ermac was slightly nurfed but definently not bottom 10. a lot of semi pro players actually believe he's a top5 contender after the patch. The balance was done well so there's almost now top 5 anymore. just a top 10. twitch.twitter: Inertia9000 mkxlps4.

[@PyroInferno110]

he was trying to say make ermac bottom 10

[@Apocalypse754]

damn it, triborg doesn't have a counter for it

[@KL42596]

wow finally a game where Ermac isn't shit tier

[@nastynash9610]

#StankyLegBoyz

[@SnakeSound222]

So you want Ermac nerfed into the bottom 10 because of one move? That is extremely stupid.

[@andrewrogers6197]

.......How do you function? It's obviously sarcasm. And with that being said, I think it's more about him being pissed that Ermac is getting nerfed despite already being fairly weak.

[@SnakeSound222]

+Andrew Rogers How am I supposed know if someone is being sarcastic on the Internet? I can't see their face.

[@andrewrogers6197]

You require a face to know Sarcasm?

[@SnakeSound222]

+Andrew Rogers I've been hearing that Mystic is OP.

[@andrewrogers6197]

lol

[@foxythepiratefox1070]

vman i love your vídeos

[@angelmareco474]

I think he hates Ermac 😂

[@laney6576]

[@hail_]

[@sir_kensightt4429]

cool

[@takathousandbirds]

why wold somone want to parry a ground pound lol i don't see a situation

[@takathousandbirds]

reply even if they did they would have the advantage instead of ermac an takeda deserves it

[@I_Am_Tron]

Now, I would like Netotigr with Jaqcui Briggs using Full Auto if he had combo skillz... *REAL SKILLZ* Like what Vman has done here

[@MoppinU4Free]

Neto doesnt play mk anymore sadly

[@I_Am_Tron]

Luis Ortiz WHAT!!! WHYYYY Tbh...I actually Neto......but Ik that he can get serious if he wants to

[@MoppinU4Free]

He moved on to pokemon go and other games lmao

[@I_Am_Tron]

Luis Ortiz will he play Injustice 2?? Or Has he played Gears of War 4??

[@MoppinU4Free]

R3N3G4D3 J411 look him up, his name is AlexRamiGaming, he plays a bunch of different games now idk about gears though

[@abdullahm6663]

هلا احمد

[@hitnem33]

nice video Vman

[@bielgamermg1814]

I did not understand this video

[@Crazimo]

You must not have played many fighting games or aren't very good at them.

[@bielgamermg1814]

Yeah, but I mean did not understand the vídeo and not the game

[@Vman95100]

Ermac's ground slam is -1 on block. That means that the move is completely safe if his opponent blocks it. I'm just showing that there are ways to make it so that you can punish him if he does do it.

[@bielgamermg1814]

Thanks Dude you are educated

[@bielgamermg1814]

In this video the kombos are great

[@nomadnick726]

fuck yea! thanks for the tip vman 😈

[@nabeelbhatti3642]

make a mkx very hard story playthrough

[@Darknight1024]

he did that already.

[@philliple123]

Is there a way to punish against a spamming Full Auto Jacqui Briggs?

[@AgonyG59]

Just stay patient. Duck under her bullets, step forward, repeat, and the punish when in range. Some characters punish much easier than others, and can give her more trouble than she gives you. She can be annoying, but if you learn the matchup, there's nothing she can do

[@chestbumphero]

I think PnD Ketchup and Mustard has done a video about it which is duck and slowly approach. I could be wrong because it's a pretty old video

[@jaelonisaiah2212]

John Smith one particular player comes to mind *cough cough* netotigr

[@theodoredieterman4002]

Oh, I get it now, he's the other character

[@Whisper54]

Kano

[@ereymoreno]

Please for the love of God do combo tutorials

[@JoJo-ob9kx]

is this part of the patches they announced?

[@Blurrux]

Where is that new video, Vman?
