In the first few arcade versions of Mortal Kombat, there was a listing in the audit menu for "ERMACS". In Revision 3.0 it was actually listed directly underneath "Reptile Battles" giving the appearance that they were grouped together. It was believed to reference a character the same way "Reptile Battles" does which led people to believe that Ermac was also a secret character. The Ermac listing is a shortening of the term "Error Macro". This is referenced in a hidden reversed message in Mortal Kombat: Deception's Konquest mode which states "It is a little known fact that Ermac is short for Error Macro". Electronic Gaming Monthly published a photo to accompany a letter from Tony Casey reporting an alleged encounter.[1] However, Ermac did not appear in any version. There is also no naturally occurring default character palette that would provide a full pallette swap for Ermac.
The MK crew denied that he existed in Mortal Kombat II with one of the jumbled messages that appeared at the bottom of the screen after beating the game: CEAMR ODSE NTO EXITS (an anagram of "Ermac does not exist"), and the occasional appearance of the secret character Jade with the message "Ermac Who?" The numerous rumors of his existence led to his debut as an official character in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. His storyline is even based off his own rumor as well and later changed to become a legit character in Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Until Mortal Kombat: Deception, he was just another palette swapped ninja. Around the time of Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, the creators made the choice to give all the ninjas their own look and identity.

What? Mortal Kombat had more story than all the other jap fighting games combined. And it actually makes sense, to boot.

omfg will you 'fighting game buffs' please stfu already...yeah yeah every japanese fighting game gives you a hard on and is super balanced, etc etc etc.

Nobody here has argued that MK is the most balanced fighting game ever, the only thing people has said is that its 'fun' and 'nostalgic'.

Shut. Up.

I wasn't referring to the balance at all, I was responding to the story thing. Fignuts brought up Japanese games, I just offered my retort.

Jesus, get all offended.

Ok seriously; Mortal Kombat is fun, oldschool, decent mythology, and all that fluffy shit - but it is a fighting game. And if it wants to be respected as such it needs to accept criticism from fighting gamers. From what's been shown it seem Mortal Kombat's making a komeback, but our 'series wide' perspective is on the money. MK's been the bottom of the heep and I don't give points because Scorpion still screams "Get over here!"

The new MK seems to be what it is because of guys like me and .44, as explained by Boon himself.

I'd very much like to but a) the game isn't out yet so I've only detailed the Exchange Counter system (found in the thread, read now) and b) my old essays on entire mechanics will be limited these days anyway because b.1) you guys aren't worth the trouble and b.2) my efforts on the matter are currently shifted to something else...

Why do you fucking hate Mortal Kombat so much, Kalyx? Why can't you just leave the sliding kicks alone?

Not the Shadow Kick that's been in since MK1. Surely Kalyx hates the new game because of something that was around before it.

'That about right?

If I hated on something exclusive to this game in the series you'd have a case but I don't have to like old shit to like the new game. Jesus.

So change it to whatever fits, the point stands. Shadow Kick sucks; I like the new MK.

Wrap your head around it.

So Kalyx, the reason you hate the kick is because of the animation for it?

I think it's more the lack of an animation for it.

He just sorta stands there with his leg out. ...And then he slides.

I did throw an "I think" in there.

I mean, that's what I gathered from the discussion that we already had, and is still readable earlier in the thread etc.

I just found it interesting that one move out of the hundreds in the game is such a big deal to him.

He didn't actually make that big of a deal about it, either, people just keep giving him shit over it. When a guy routinely does 500+ word articles over game mechanics across multiple forums, I don't think one sentence of "that was lame" is a "big deal."

I hate the idea of sliding one frame across the floor, that's mostly it. I understand the idea of a ground, pressure move that moves the character forward (though you really shouldn't give that to a character with two projectiles but MK gets to slide on this).

50% of my beef with the series is the animation, particularly the short-cuts and half-assed recovery animations - that 'freeze frame' deal they had going on. Oddly enough their damaged animations are fluid; arms and legs flailing in the air, slipping on the ground, stumbling all dizzy after a hit, etc. They just go to sleep with the attack animations.
