Uglyguy25,

I'm liking the ideas so far for Ermac variations.

So far we have a big brooding warrior and a trickster who are controlling Ermac. As far as the new attacks go, I think that they'll work for the variations. The " Pusher " attack would definitely fit into the warrior soul variation. If I could pick my favorite variation, it would have to be the trickster soul variation. I can picture some crazed trickster pulling of those orb attacks and having them tavel in unorthodox ways. I think this trickster soul will be crazy because the orb special moves are unstable. This trickster soul doesn't much control over Ermac because he can't control himself that well. This trickster soul is very unstable. That's all for this variation.

Onto the big brooding warrior soul, he'll definitely be a way more aggressive version of Ermac, kind of like the variation of Ferra/Torr where Ferra stabs Torr to increase his damage output. I'm not saying that the warrior soul variation will be like that; it's just an example to get the point across. I'd say this variation will still have levitation attacks but they're more of like a grappler version of levitation. Traditional Ermac isn't throwing people that aggressively and this variation will be a lot more aggressive when using the levitation attacks. That's all for this variation.

Just to be clear on what the variation names are, so " Pusher " is the big brooding warrior controlling Ermac, " Trickster " is the crazy trickster controlling Ermac, and " Jerrod " is the one where King Jerrod is controlling Ermac. Am I right so far, let me know later.

This is my opinion on the variation subject for Ermac below.

So far with this idea for the variations being different souls is probably going to be the best thing to happen for Ermac ever since his story become a lot more detailed. When he was first revealed, nobody knew his backstory until later. What i'm trying to say is that having Ermac having no control over the souls that he's made up of will be the best thing for Ermac ever since we knew that Ermac is made up of hundreds of souls.
