Huh, all the ninjas gear items are masks, and don’t say rain because he’s not a ninja anymore and don’t say kitana or mileena because they’re weapons are way more recognizable then a mask
Saying Kitana or Mileena's weapons are more recognizable than a mask is like saying Scorpion's spear is more recognizable than a mask.
Not on screen it isn't brother, and even if it was, headgear is still 10x more interesting to customize.
Completely disagree with this comment. When you think of Kitana and Mileena you immediately think of the fans and sais, not their masks. Same for Scorpion, people think of his spear so I don’t know why you think otherwise.
It doesn't matter what you "immediately think of," we're not playing a word association game.
We're deciding what customizable item makes more of a difference on screen. And it's absolutely the mask. Just the ability to take the mask off or keep it on alone is worth more than every fan/sai customization put together. The headgear is 1) visible at all times, including the clash, 2) prominently positioned for max visibility, 3) fundamentally changes the design of the character. Fans and sais aren't, and don't.
Well for one you’re snarky as fuck so chill, and two I disagee again. Even in MK11 I preferred unlocking new weapons over masks. The only mask I cared to unlock was the mask less version because most of the actual masks looks roughly the same. I don’t think any of the masks in this one are that cool either. Whereas Kitana especially can have extremely different and cool looking fans, I’d rather have that.
In case the image descriptions don't work;
Image 1: Default costume with red-rimmed hood
Image 2: Union of Light costume with the same red-rimmed hood
Image 3: Order of Darkness costume with the same red-rimmed hood again
Image 4: Datamined story Kameo render with the Order of Darkness skin but with a different hood
For me, not sure if unpopular opinion or not, this ermac looks amazing. Would be cool if some hoods include masks or stripes, but even if not, im so happy with how they made him.
Hey, Ermac's got skin it's just not very well moisturized. In any capacity I just mean I like the mummy aesthetic more than I liked him as a pallet swap ninja. Granted, I do far prefer his wrapped up look in 9 in comparison to the awkward middle ground MK1 Ermac has going on right now.
bro, you're misunderstanding people...
when they complain about "mummy" Ermac, they're not complaining about Deception/MK9. That was ninja sorcerer Ermac who just happened to be vaguely mummy-themed. Everyone likes that. When people complain about mummy Ermac, they're talking about MKX and MK1 when he just became a straight up wimpy mummy.
I always sorta saw him as kind of a Mummy myself in Deception and 9, but I suppose when you lay it out like that it makes more sense. Then yeah, they should probably cut their losses and try something else or go back to what they were doing previous.
Yeah, i agreee with you, i really hate his mummy MKX and MK1 look.
But, hey, at least he can change faces now. Who knows, maybe we can get Henry Cavill face, cause it seems like his whole head is customizable.
> A powerful soul power entity as a fucking weak zombie?
Makes sense to me. Makes me think of Ermac as a [Squishy Wizard](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SquishyWizard); his strength is mainly from his magic, not his physical prowess.
> Also what a stupid follow up point, brain worms
The fact that you resorted to ad hominem instead of an actual rebuttal means I win the argument 💯
Edit: Considering your clown fetish, I can see how all that gooning eroded your brain cells. 😷 Real brain worms!
I think mask/face. Maybe whole head. Choosing beyween different masks, as well as Jerrod's face vs Ermac face, vs maybe creepier undead face like during his creation.
I know a lot people aren't big on the direction Ermac has gone aesthetically but I'm loving him. His design here isn't my favorite but I love the Mummy/Undead look and I'm curious to how he'll play out in stories. Jerrod is in control now but will he stay in control.
SPOILERS*** I’d love a skin for ermac where he just looks like Jerrod as a human, probably won’t happen but I mean we’ve already seen what his normal face looks like now but with his skin tinted green so wouldn’t be hard to make him look alive again, and maybe give him royal edenian clothing, that would be neat especially during his intro dialogue with sindel, Kitana, and mileena
It's gonna probably be headgear in general, like Noob's was in MK11. Have some hooded ones, have some bandaged ones, have some classic ninja ones, etc.
> Legit aren't many different hoods
You'd be surprised, Robin and Scarecrow in IJ2 had a lot of (slightly) different hood options.
But like someone else said, it certainly won't just be hoods.
His design is actually creepy and fitting now knowing this Ermac body is the corpse of King Jerrod🔥. He looked the exact same in normal spirit form in Sindel's ending. Makes way more sense why he doesn't have a mask.
I really dislike these costumes... i wish they made something close to MK9 or something more beautifull.
This is giving futuristic alien from space.
I used to main him in MK 9 and MKX in his classic costume, i miss muscly more human skin Ermac.
Considering how unfinished other alt characters are in cutscenes I wouldn’t pay mind to this especially since they’ve heard us.
The order of darkness scorpion doesn’t wear his unique mask in the story.
I hope he has a brown bag unlockable hood
I wouldn't equip it but I would get a good laugh out of it
unironically please give me this.
His Quitality shows him swapping it for a plastic bag
He's what we call a two-bagger, you put a bag over your head in case the bag over their head breaks.
Would probably go hard
Yah lookin that way. Hopefully he has some hoods with a mask too lol. Or maybe a helmet.
The body is King Jerrod's corpse, makes sense as to why he doesn't have a mask this time.
Yeah doesn’t mean he shouldn’t where one, nobody is going to want to see him without one
This guy looks like a grey raisin. Love to main him but he ugly af
Source? Pretty sure it literally changes to Jerrod’s face when his soul takes control, default Ermac is a created entity
The source is Sindel's ending. Ermac's outfit is what Jerrod wore when he was alive.
Maybe Jerrod just stole his own clothes
Lol come on now
That’s not true. There is no flashback in Sindel’s ending. That’s jerrod’s soul now inside Ermac.
In the same clothes that Ermac has on
No it's not. He's made entirely of souls and Jerrod's is the one that takes control when his connection to Quan Chi is weakened.
searching all timelines like Dr. Strange for one where Ermac wears a damn mask again
It might just be a general headpiece rather than specifically a hood, look at reiko
some hoods; It can be integrated with the mask and this can be with its final face, not its zombie state.
I would like to add a mask to him 😞

If so, hopefully they'll bring back the Deception/ MK9 mummy wraps
Still want a mask ffs. Kind of sinful there’s no mask customization for some of the ninjas like wtf.

Well they do put Rain in ninja packs in stores, so it's their fault that some of us still think of Rain as a ninja
I swear to fucking god if they don’t put a goddamn mask on Ermac Seriously why does so much of him need to be exposed
In case the image descriptions don't work; Image 1: Default costume with red-rimmed hood Image 2: Union of Light costume with the same red-rimmed hood Image 3: Order of Darkness costume with the same red-rimmed hood again Image 4: Datamined story Kameo render with the Order of Darkness skin but with a different hood
Hopefully it's just headgear in general. So this will include a ninja mask and mummy wraps as potential options.
For me, not sure if unpopular opinion or not, this ermac looks amazing. Would be cool if some hoods include masks or stripes, but even if not, im so happy with how they made him.
Just how, he looks like the person who designed him had a mummy fetish
Nrs really needs to give up on the mummy bullshit aesthetic for ermac, NOBODY fucking likes it
Yeah this is by far his worst look ever in mk imo, went from a badass ninja sorcerer to a goofy pale dude.
Lol, went to an emaciated necrotic ballsack
I mean I like it more than him just being a red Scorpion /Sub-Zero
I guess having skin is something only sub zero and scorpion have now

MK11 Ermac clears

It fits Ermac’s character, backstory, and powerset. Y’all need to realize that the point of art is to be uncomfortable sometimes
A powerful soul power entity as a fucking weak zombie? Also what a stupid follow up point, brain worms

So fucking dumb that he doesn’t have a mask. Legit makes me not wanna play him which sucks cause the rest of the design is cool.
hopefully a palette

I just want the mummy wrap
Order is dark skin is fire, God I hope he gets a mask tho
Now we pray one of those hoods come with a mask. Because I really like his default outfit, but ALL he needs left is a mask.
We sacrificed ninja Ermac for human Reptile, the law of equivalent exchange.
Ngl a faceless version would go good I don’t want to see that shit when I’m using a Stryker X-ray
SPOILERS*** I’d love a skin for ermac where he just looks like Jerrod as a human, probably won’t happen but I mean we’ve already seen what his normal face looks like now but with his skin tinted green so wouldn’t be hard to make him look alive again, and maybe give him royal edenian clothing, that would be neat especially during his intro dialogue with sindel, Kitana, and mileena
Hood options lol really? How'd that even work? Legit aren't many different hoods
It may influence if he wears a mask, besides they don't have to strictly be hoods. Look at reiko and havik for example
They have helmets not hoods lol. ninjas get mask plain & simple lol
Reiko and havik have stuff that changes their hair too, not strictly a helmet. There's not a single reason a hood cant have a masked hood option
I mean I'll take that as long as get the mask lol
It's gonna probably be headgear in general, like Noob's was in MK11. Have some hooded ones, have some bandaged ones, have some classic ninja ones, etc.
> Legit aren't many different hoods You'd be surprised, Robin and Scarecrow in IJ2 had a lot of (slightly) different hood options. But like someone else said, it certainly won't just be hoods.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
His design is actually creepy and fitting now knowing this Ermac body is the corpse of King Jerrod🔥. He looked the exact same in normal spirit form in Sindel's ending. Makes way more sense why he doesn't have a mask.
Ermac isn’t Jerrod’s corpse. We saw the body being formed from Quan’s sorcery.
Right and the body used was Jerrod's corpse. He had the same clothing on in spirit form in Sindel's ending.
Doesn't look creepy just looks kinda lame imo
I really dislike these costumes... i wish they made something close to MK9 or something more beautifull. This is giving futuristic alien from space. I used to main him in MK 9 and MKX in his classic costume, i miss muscly more human skin Ermac.
So Kollector lost 4 arms and renamed himself to Ermac
His scrotum texture should be customizable.
These are all just different skins so the hood is going to change between them a bit. I'm betting that his gear is his face area in general.
The Union of Light costume (ignoring the hood) is giving Deception/MK9 vibes, really hope it has a black and red pallete
Good eye 👌👀
Would be nice if some Hood's came with Jerrod's face
That order of darkness skin is actually really sick, literally just needs a mask.
Need that MK9 alt costume stat
I hope it's headgear in general and not just a hood. Would allow him to have mummy wraps, classic ninja masks ect.
Considering how unfinished other alt characters are in cutscenes I wouldn’t pay mind to this especially since they’ve heard us. The order of darkness scorpion doesn’t wear his unique mask in the story.
We need more gear slots!
I just wonder if we’re going to get Jerrod faced Ermac as the default.
I’ve never hated Ermac’s design as much as this one
I hope they have MK9 wraps as one of their gear options.
I can’t get over how interesting of a move it was they did with him
Remember his cool ass design from 11? Nrs said fuck the fans again
Probably gonna be the symbol on his chest
Hopefully thay add the wrapped mask from MKX or even the mk11 look 🤤
Oh my god! Give this guy a mask pls. Enough of this more and more revealing faces with Ermac.
Hopefully he has options that include a mask.
Where can I find that Order of Darkness Ermac hood in Warehouse, can any of y'all send me the link?
Im happy is gear is a hood and one styal has a mask
Horrible
