Take Advantage of Ermac’s Updated Flight Mode in Mortal Kombat X

Back when NetherRealm Studios revealed Ermac’s variations in Mortal Kombat X, Spectral looked to have plenty of potential thanks to its added flight ability. Any sort of flight mode stands to give a fighter a distinct advantage over their opponents, but the degree of (and even the existence of) that advantage depends entirely on how the mechanic works within the game and the sorts of options that it affords its bearer.

When the game launched, Spectral Ermac didn’t get that much attention, and a lot of that (likely) had to do with his flight lacking realistic applications. Thanks to the most recent Mortal Kombat X patch, the red ninja’s flight mode has become something more than just an excellent way to get punched.

In the video below, That1Guy discusses how to take full advantage of the new hovering strings to keep the pressure on opponents as well as mix them up with high/low options from the air.

For reference, you can check out the patch’s full list of Ermac changes here.

Dengeki Bunko FIGHTING CLIMAX IGNITION Heading to Home Consoles on December 17

After just arriving in arcades this summer, Sega is ready to bring Dengeki Bunko FIGHTING CLIMAX IGNITION to home consoles…well, in Japan, anyways. This dream match fighter, which sees characters from various light novel properties duke it out, will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita starting December 17.

As a follow-up to the original 2014 release, IGNITION adds a number of new gameplay mechanics and characters, including Heavy Object’s Quensar Barbotage and Emi Yusa from The Devil is a Part-Timer! Players can expect familiar trappings, like training and online modes, to be included in the console port as well.

With the first title still awaiting a North American release this fall, it remains to be seen which version the community will throw their support behind, but I’d say things are looking pretty grim for the upcoming localization.

More details are expected in this week’s issue of Dengeki PlayStation, so stay tuned.
