@@subplays2778 Appreciate it! I came up with that joke when I saw the gameplay trailer, I wonder if a TH-camr will make a joke about it too, imagine Ermac being a Minecraft TH-camr 😂
idk i think its about gear, i think it was idea from the start and that unmasked was just story look, maybe we get “unmasked” gear but i think mask was always gonna be there
His default in MKX was good for me. I can appreciate his mouth being revealed since he's free of Shao Kahn's clutches. Kinda liberating him. So it makes sense.
I’m sad that we will probably never get his MK11 design. It’s perfect for his new good/hero redemption story/role that his bio heavily implies especially at the last line with him searching for something to fight for since now he’s no longer bound to Quan Chi.
fun fact: UMK3 ermac was tan at first, it became a meme for awhile (also brought up from angry joe's mk9 review with cooking with ermac) that he was secretly hispanic. shit was hilarious to think about
i actually like MKX skins the most, to me he feels even more menacing without bandages covering his mouth and pharaoh skins just does it for me aswell as i like Egypt a lot
Ever since Deception the "spider symbol" on his front body (and other parts of his body as well) has become a main trope on his design and so on for his appearance in later game (i like it) MK D, SM, A, 9&alt: the red strap on his black clothing MKX: the metal thingy on his chest MK11: the red metal on his body M1K: his metal ornament on his chest and one hanging around his waist Like Scarecrow from DC his "rope neck" has become a thing for him on his design, but back then it wasn't Also Ermac MK9 klassic outfit is not MK2, its MK1 cause his wearing a clothing mask not a Hockey mask
His MK9 default is the goat for me. Pretty much took what made his Deception look so good and made it better. The alt is awesome too, but I feel like the hood and more conventional mask make him look less unique while also stepping a bit into Noob's territory. His MK1 look couldn't be saved for me even with the mask, though. His proportions just make him look really awkward, if they wanted to make him skinny they should've really gone with his more lanky bodytype in MKX.
Yeah I think the MK1 masked look is decent but the UMK3 skin saved his whole appearance in the game for me. Also, agreed on the similarities between Noob and Ermac, but I still love both
Personally I actually really like ermac’s mkx default design but I will say that the more exposed face does not do it for me and would’ve preferred his face be all covered, his covered face usually gives a more mysterious feeling to him, at least for me
I love his Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Costume Mortal Kombat Deception Costume and Mortal Kombat 11 Costume and I am so excited for Ermac in Mortal Kombat 1
I remember being so overwhelmingly happy when Ermac made the roster for MKX, but for some reason I just didn't play him that much when the game released. (The costumes may have been a part of this) I definitely felt his absence in MK11 (made worse by the GOAT costume being wasted on a corpse) and the MK1 KP reveal was beyond rough. Now that things are back on track though, I feel pretty confident about the future. If and when DLC starts recieving extra content, the UMK3 costume is guaranteed (although whether or not he's human or shrivelled remains to be seen). I of course want the MK11 look as well - my only hope is that they're open to reusing the MK11 asset like they've done for some of their kameo fighters (Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Frost, etc)
@@FAiRWAYx Again, it’s extremely briefly. But if you look it up, you’ll undoubtedly find them. Just search up “MK1 Ermac Order Of Darkness” and you’ll find both of them. Interloko datamined one of the skins, giving you a better look.
I blame MK legacy for starting the trend on him having the ugly undead zombie/mummy look that would eventually ruin his design in MKX and MK1. I loved his hero ninja skins during the 3D era and his alt in MK9 with hooded ninja/assassin look. I was very upset that he wasn’t legitimately playable Shaolin monks and again in MK11 where he finally got a proper look only to be not playable 😑 Also his Klassic ninja skin in MK9 is not based on MK2 but actually the original MK1 arcade ninja skins. Lastly even though the addition of Ermac getting a mask for his default skin in MK1 is great it still doesn’t fix all the issues the overall costume has with him showing too much skin, being a bit skinny, given the open toe/feet treatment and being hairless. Also I do agree with your tier list except for the Shaolin monks design. Here’s to hoping Ermac becoming a hero again based on his new bio and story going forward.
You know his name was a technical glitch when their macro had an error and it was a code named short for ermac that’s where we as Seen it so we figured it had to be a character
Through out the mk franchise of Ermac, the best costume I like is MK Deception first outfit, MK 9 primary costume but the alt is the the absolute best one, MKX Crimson Ermac and MK11 is a next best look (even when other said that the mk11 Ermac designs are quote on quote "OverDesigned" but idrc tbh), and that outfit is definitelythe GOAT lol. The best thing I like about the MK11 Ermac design is that they didn't make him into a mummy (which im not really a fan look), I've always like like mask one because thats was best suits him on... majority of his appearance if that makes sense considering the fact that he's a red ninja pallet swap of the other ninjas. Also Red and Black is my favorite color so that's probably why Ermac is kinda my favorite character lol Ps. l think you ment to say 2006 of Mortal kombat armageddon and appears in the next game 5 years later after armageddon. But It's fine, people makes mistakes. My bad on nitpicking on what you said
The MK11 thing is a lot of mess. I disagree with a lot of your good tier. The base X makes sense because Shang Tsung filled a vessel with souls. It's not like it's an actual person.
I think the pharaoh version was sick too. A lot of people hated it but it was pretty fitting haha. Also reptiles creature from the black lagoon skin was dope too
Okay you are crazy for the og mkx design that design is sick but you put that second pic in best tier helloo dude literally looks like a failed ermac Halloween costume
I thought the MKX costumes were fantastic. Personally, I don't mind more of his face being exposed. Obviously I prefer a mask but I don't think the wraps are a bad thing. He had been pale like a corpse in deception and on so I had no problem with him looking like a corpse possessed by a thousand souls (that's pretty much what he is, after all) and his costume seemed to be heavily inspired my both costumes in MK9. The mummy costume made total sense with him obviously being mummy-like already so I had no problem with his silly Halloween costume being an undead pharaoh/mummy. It all made sense to me. I'm the end though, the MK1 design with the mask has got to be my absolute favorite with the MK11 one close behind
Bro, you screwed up so much in this vid. Armageddon came out in 2006, not 2007. Ermac’s klassic skin in mk9 was an mk1 skin NOT an mk2 skin like you said. Get your stuff right bro.
Glad I’m not the only one who thinks that mummy look is complete trash. I remember going from his classic MK1 & MK2 costumes on MK9 to seeing that garbage on MKX and I was disgusted. They drastically changed a lot of the characters from how they looked in MK9 also which pushed me away from the game
Ermac is one of my favorites. But Mummy Ermac is one of the most atrocious costumes I've ever seen in MK. I don't even know why I hate it so much. I just do 😂.
I don't thing so yo missing the MK11 is about "ShangTsung's" details copy ability ermac never looking for. And the MK1 too you never again is gear. You are the failure to figuring 😒👎🏻
I will use the maskless variation in MK1. I think totally opposite of Ermac costumes. I hate the booooring red ninja design, I am glad to see they follow the "mummy" look in MK1.
I don’t really like any of the versions of Ermac except for the mkx one, BECUASE Ermac is supposed to be a sorcerer. Not a generic ninja, so most of his other buffed up versions look really stupid to me. And don’t really fit the theme of the character
What’s your GOAT Ermac costume?
MK11 skin, second is MK1 skin with new mask
My favorite is the default MKX costume, since he’s now under his control, a persons instead of a faceless weapon
MK11 with MK9 alt right behind it
MK11 followed by Mk9's krimson ermac.
@@targetcj4894 love me that Krimson Ermac
Ermac really suffered the dream dilemma, bro finally did a face reveal and we bullied him into the mask again
Perfect comment man
So you actually LIKED his ball sack of a face ? Hmm 🤔 ok. I personally like the mask cause he’s the red ninja 🥷🏻
@@subplays2778 Appreciate it! I came up with that joke when I saw the gameplay trailer, I wonder if a TH-camr will make a joke about it too, imagine Ermac being a Minecraft TH-camr 😂

His default in MKX was good for me. I can appreciate his mouth being revealed since he's free of Shao Kahn's clutches. Kinda liberating him. So it makes sense.
I like that perspective!
Fans in 2023: “give him a mask!”
Fans in 1992: give him to me
Fans after seeing the second fatality: I take it back! I take it back!
I’m sad that we will probably never get his MK11 design. It’s perfect for his new good/hero redemption story/role that his bio heavily implies especially at the last line with him searching for something to fight for since now he’s no longer bound to Quan Chi.
it might be a skin for ermac in mk1 they also might add the klassic style (i hope so)
Hopefully, it'll be his alternate or his titan (presumably everyone except guests will get a titan skin)
I hate the "x" on his mk11 mask
@@JK-nj3bt that can easily be fixed by switching to a different mask but other than that everything else on the costume is excellent.
man started with umk3 in S tier. so i stayed cause i knew it was gonna be a solid list
Ermac always looked cool and mysterious yet menacing at the same time. Nice vid.
Thank you for the kind words
@@FAiRWAYx You're welcome! Cool video.
The funny part is he actually says that in the game 0:17😂😂😂😂
Your tier lists be spot on 🔥🔥💯 that mk9 alternate costume is by far his best
Liked Ermac better when he’s looks like an undead corpse, makes more sense for his backstory and abilities
That’s fair

MK D, SM, A, 9&alt: the red strap on his black clothing
MKX: the metal thingy on his chest
MK11: the red metal on his body
M1K: his metal ornament on his chest and one hanging around his waist
Like Scarecrow from DC his "rope neck" has become a thing for him on his design, but back then it wasn't
Also Ermac MK9 klassic outfit is not MK2, its MK1 cause his wearing a clothing mask not a Hockey mask
That symbol is the 'Free Man' symbol, also known as the Yaz letter of the Tifinagh alphabet.
Ermac mains where u at?
Great list. Not to nitpick, but his Klassic skin in MK9 is based off of the original Mortal Kombat. Not MK2.
This seems interesting, can't wait to watch!
I love MKX ermac the most. Really like his costume. The MK1 is also very cool I think, and I like it more without mask
Awesome Video! Ermac is a legend.
Thank you for the kind words !
No Problem.
I know I'm late to the party here, but imo MK9 alt is far & away his best look ever. It's fantastic.
It is incredible

MK9 is nostalgic as hell, MKX's is also one of my favorites
What emojis would you use for Ermac?
I'm still waiting for a mk game with all ninjas in the roster (scorpion, sub-zero, ermac, reptile, noob, rain, smoke and tremor)
Mk9 alternate is my absolute favorite ❤ glad he put it in best tier!
I love his Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Costume Mortal Kombat Deception Costume and Mortal Kombat 11 Costume and I am so excited for Ermac in Mortal Kombat 1
I like ninja costume
If they could make Jerrod (Ermac) as a human skin it would look so cool!
If we got the Indiana Jones Johnny we should get Jerrod Ermac

Agreed on everything
There’s technically two other costumes for him in MK1. They both appear briefly in the story, but are still worth a mention.
I only recall the Jerrod and regular maskless Ermac
@@FAiRWAYx Again, it’s extremely briefly. But if you look it up, you’ll undoubtedly find them. Just search up “MK1 Ermac Order Of Darkness” and you’ll find both of them. Interloko datamined one of the skins, giving you a better look.
@@FAiRWAYxthere’s also his order of darkness which appears in Shang/quan chapter I believe
Tbh mk11 ermac needs to make an appearance in mk1 since they didn’t use it in 11
Crazy how they gave the best costume to the unplayable appearance
Praying we get in in MK1
Nope
I blame MK legacy for starting the trend on him having the ugly undead zombie/mummy look that would eventually ruin his design in MKX and MK1.

If they bring the MK 11 version to MK1 I would do whatever it takes to get it fr
The MK11 thing is a lot of mess. I disagree with a lot of your good tier. The base X makes sense because Shang Tsung filled a vessel with souls. It's not like it's an actual person.
The deception costume as amazing.
G.O.A.T.: UMK3/MKT
Best: MKX klassic, MK11 krypt
Great: MK9 alt., MK9, MK11 Shang Tsung morph
Good: MKD/MKA, MKSM, MK9 klassic, MKX crimson, MK1
Meh: MKD alt., MKX
Refund: MKX mummy, MKX tournament, MK1 story
I like his pharaoh costume the most in mkx. Never really looked at the 11 version. So I can not say without playing it
I think the pharaoh version was sick too. A lot of people hated it but it was pretty fitting haha. Also reptiles creature from the black lagoon skin was dope too
Don't know if I ever played with the black lagoon skin.
I love the mk9 Clasic uniform
U put the last costume at great? It’s the best ever
We need his Mk9 alt, 11, and umk3 outfits in mk1
Although I disagree with microtransactions, I'd buy all three.
Just so yall know, it was just confirmed that ermac was the 24tg character. Nrs pushed him back and charged money for him
Yeah I heard about that. Crazy if true
@@FAiRWAYx it is
Mk9 default is peak for me
Honestly the maskless version didn't really bother me in the Kombat pack nor the story
we need a reptile video!
Mkx hood custom 🔥 you tripping bro
Okay you are crazy for the og mkx design that design is sick but you put that second pic in best tier helloo dude literally looks like a failed ermac Halloween costume
Of course giving him a mask was the plan. The story was just showing off the face changing aspect.

Yeah masked MK1 is such an upgrade
MAKE THIS A SERIES RANK OTHER CHARACTERS!!!!!
I miss midway they would had let them do way more with their mk game
The MK11 one is a little overdesigned and bright to match Ermac's mysterious ascetic, at least for me.
That’s fair. I think it makes Ermac look like a boss character almost, which I love.
Bro, you screwed up so much in this vid.
Armageddon came out in 2006, not 2007.

Love Ermac ♥️💪🏻
Is this your first one? If so, that's pretty based.
Deception Is my favorite

Sorry 🤷♂️
