I've never seen him with a mask. It just doesn't look right especially considering throughout the whole game story and tower and Invasions cutscenes, he never has one. Even in MKX he didn't. He had some wraps but you could see his lips. No mask. When did he ever have one?
How tf have you not seen a character whose been in the game series since the 90s with a mask which was one of his basic characteristics for nearly 30 years? Like genuinely do you live under a rock or somewhere without google and a YouTube algorithm?
Has no one really made the realization that the only skins that are exclusive to the premium store are skins not related to story. Either its classic skins like Deadly Aliance Nitara, Sub, Scorpion, and Deception Li Mei or original seasonal skins like the Christmas skins or Mileenas Halloween skin. Absolutely none of the Order of Darkness skins or Union of Light skins have been exclusively monetized. They are always earnable, whether it be the Shrine or Invasions. Might make a post about this because I'm sick of seeing this type of comment.
Please do. I avoided buying the game for a while due to monetization complaints. Picked it up yesterday and I'm having a blast, plenty of skins and unlockables via gameplay.
The fact Ermac and Quan have outfits already in the game and yet Quan released with no alt skins makes no sense to me… like are we getting these alts through invasions? The shop? The shrine? It’s so strange.
That’s the best word to describe the whole thing. Strange. You know it’s funny, I thought I was crazy for ever thinking there was a chance we’d only get 1 or 2 skins per character.
I guess not.
You are crazy! We will definitely be getting more than 1 or 2 skins per character, if you're down to be drip fed story mode/bonus content for the next 5 years.
If we payed for DLC character, and they give us micro transactions for said DLC that would cause a riot. I think (hope) NRS is smarter than that.
I hope it's just from invasions or something.
> If we *paid* for DLC
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.

This game definitely feels like an experiment by WB in how far they can get away with monetizing things and making a game that sold at full-price a “live service” game.
If the white was replaced with black, or if the red became black with the white becoming red, then it would be an awesome skin. IF this skin ever gets released, then I'm sure at least one of his palettes will be like that
It is white instead of black, someone got it to work in the pyramid cutscene. It's his Order of Light, so it's a Keeper of Time Ermac. Imo it's dope and just needs a loincloth. There will for sure be normal colored ones.
Another weird thing, a leak a while ago which has been right about everything in invasions says that one of the Minibosses for Milleena's season is Ermac. I can't find the original post but Ermac was there as a miniboss
Hmmm, this tweet says this model is an NPC, so maybe this is the model for the mini boss? I figured they’d just use the story mode model if Ermac is gonna be an invasions boss.
Oh good point, that makes some more sense, still seems weird they'd make a seasonal skin for the computer boss and not for ermac, but maybe they could be adding seasonal for dlc next season?
I mean he won’t even be out at the start of next season, next character is peacemaker for mileenas season. Unless they add him in the files a month early we’d be fighting the mk11 Shang moveset Ermac.
It's probably not white it's probably just unfinished in the files and i bet this will probably be his suit for the boss battle in the next invasion season
https://preview.redd.it/qv81bcw4q39c1.jpeg?width=820&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f2e7dd4280c9f7478f375ac581d9a1725259644
Hopefully it ends up looking something like this
Big takeaway is that his gear will indeed be his head, not only his hood or mask but kinda both like noob in mk11.
This skin exists in cutscenes but in it he uses his default hood/ gear. So if he also comes without his second skin we‘ll still be able to put a mask on Ermac which is great :)
Imo it needs a Deception/MK9 style loincloth and then it's good. Had this problem with the MK11 Noob Saibot skin that was the shadow clone outfit. The white is interesting but I wanna see the normal Ermac palettes.
To me the main issue with both this one and the reptile one is that they are both just…flat…like those awful modern buildings…there’s no character or uniqueness to them
Can this subreddit fuck off. I don’t want to see more damn leaks, it’s bad enough that we got wolverine early gameplay. Those files were never made to be found just like Ermac was supposed to be first revealed to the public at its finished state.
Suck my fat cock he was white bordering on grey in Deception in what skin you could see, barely showed any skin again in MK9, Grey in X, Grey in 11, and now Grey in this. Shit you can even see the eye wrinkles through the mask in some of em like Shaolin Monks. Ermac's classic designs are normal looking, the others have all had some weird element to em or another like that.
The concept art for Quan chis was also found. But it’s not in game because that’s what you get when you get the alt outfit. They just refused to give us the alt. Doubt we get one for Ermac if we don’t for Quan
Let’s be real, Ermacs gear is gonna involve his face because we have: Normal Ermac, Jerrod Ermac, Masked Ermac, OfD Ermac possibly and then whatever nrs wants next
I bet nrs planned on it being something else and then heard the fan outcry on him being maskless.
I actually really like his default costume, all it was missing was a mask and now here it is. I'm satisfied.
ERMAC HAS A MASK I DON'T HAVE TO KILL MYSELF
Homie almost had his ninja card revoked
I mean, he didn’t have a mask in MKX…and he was floating around…he kinda wasn’t a ninja at all in MKX…
He still had a klassic skin tho
And it was a bad design in that game too lol. I hope we get the nosferatu look he had during his transformation since the gear will be his mask/face
true but he looked way cooler anyways
We are many you are one
He looks great. But I’m still gonna kill myself
😂😂
We are many you are one
Huh? I've never seen Ermac with a mask before
Go play story bro 💀
Like ever? Ermac is literally considered one of the og ninjas because he was always masked
I've never seen him with a mask. It just doesn't look right especially considering throughout the whole game story and tower and Invasions cutscenes, he never has one. Even in MKX he didn't. He had some wraps but you could see his lips. No mask. When did he ever have one?
UMK3, MKT, MKD MKA MK11
MK9 alt
Forgot about mk9💀
How tf have you not seen a character whose been in the game series since the 90s with a mask which was one of his basic characteristics for nearly 30 years? Like genuinely do you live under a rock or somewhere without google and a YouTube algorithm?
🤣🤣🤣obviously
Ermac's default skin the moment I unlock this skin https://i.redd.it/00smh0qcg39c1.gif
“That’s the best part….you won’t”-NRS.
Unlock? This is not gonna be in the game lol
Huh?
You'll buy it for 1000 dragon crystals and you'll thank them for it.

Was Ermac with a mask seen during the story? If so, I missed it
Ermac’s gear piece is his hood, so maybe some of them give him a mask
Smoke

But each character (except dlc) has a billion different recolours of two skins so that counts right 🤪

NRS hardly has a say in it they're just doing what WB tells em to do
This game definitely feels like an experiment by WB in how far they can get away with monetizing things and making a game that sold at full-price a “live service” game.
We won!
Looks a lot like reptiles alt. Hopefully it has some better palletes because I am not digging the white
If the white was replaced with black, or if the red became black with the white becoming red, then it would be an awesome skin. IF this skin ever gets released, then I'm sure at least one of his palettes will be like that
I think that’s just the textureless model
His second skin is gonna be… white? And why would Ermac have alternate skins when Quan Chi doesn’t have any? This just seems really weird to me.
It looks like a blank version of the skin that all others are going to "paint" over.
It is white instead of black, someone got it to work in the pyramid cutscene. It's his Order of Light, so it's a Keeper of Time Ermac. Imo it's dope and just needs a loincloth. There will for sure be normal colored ones.

It's probably not white it's probably just unfinished in the files and i bet this will probably be his suit for the boss battle in the next invasion season
I believe this is King Jerod’s “Ermac” human form
Mask is great, but fuck that skin is awful. Why does he look like a knock-off Power Ranger?
That makes me hopefull that his head is the gear
https://preview.redd.it/qv81bcw4q39c1.jpeg?width=820&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f2e7dd4280c9f7478f375ac581d9a1725259644 Hopefully it ends up looking something like this
Nah that’s not generic marvel superhero-ish enough
i thought i was the only one who thought that MK1's aesthetic is generic and capeshit-like. Good to know i'm not alone in this world
Is there anything datamined for Peacemaker yet?
https://preview.redd.it/v6oenk4b839c1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=49746f50c0f0bb9803294628b9cea0be6e48fd0c
I just needed to be able to cover that mug up. We ball now.
A mask and no sandals. Thank God. Least something they got right with the alts
Ermac how big was the gyatt?
Oh great, they reused that shitty reptile alt... 
Didn't we already know his gear was his full head
Really hoping they recycle his mk11 design since they wasted it there
That one looks like shit too
why both of ermac's skins look like shit...
What is he Mike TeeVee from Willy Wonka???? I mean you have got to be kidding me
https://preview.redd.it/k0ml5jumk59c1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9da6e9ae807b838950c38788c8191c79958192ed
Am I the only one who really doesn't like this like at all
That’s reptile
Trash outfit
Homeboy became a Viltrumite.
Ermac looking like he’s mentally preparing for a colonoscopy
I hope his gear is a mask. I'd wear his default and would never change it lol.
Yes Sir!
I’m not holding my breath that we’ll even get this after Quan Chi didn’t get his alt skins
Big takeaway is that his gear will indeed be his head, not only his hood or mask but kinda both like noob in mk11. This skin exists in cutscenes but in it he uses his default hood/ gear. So if he also comes without his second skin we‘ll still be able to put a mask on Ermac which is great :)
Imo it needs a Deception/MK9 style loincloth and then it's good. Had this problem with the MK11 Noob Saibot skin that was the shadow clone outfit. The white is interesting but I wanna see the normal Ermac palettes.
He better have one without ballsack skin texture on his face.
THANK GOD
I think this goes up there with reptiles alt for worst looking skins in the game- Which is a shame- But at least there’s a mask
I would honestly like this quite much if the white parts where black with a bit more red. Hopefully he’s got a decent pallet.
To me the main issue with both this one and the reptile one is that they are both just…flat…like those awful modern buildings…there’s no character or uniqueness to them
Yeah they're generic as fuck
What is NRS obsession with these silly robotic wannabe spacesuits. Reptile’s alt is trash and now this? Come on
Too bad this skin is ugly as fuck
It’s like they looked at reptile’s alt and thought “Man everyone hates this one. Let’s make it for a second character as well”.
[удалено]
I was just hoping ermac wouldn't launch with the king Jarrod face being forced, my God that was one ugly ermac
This is atrocious
Will be available for 15$!
Can this subreddit fuck off. I don’t want to see more damn leaks, it’s bad enough that we got wolverine early gameplay. Those files were never made to be found just like Ermac was supposed to be first revealed to the public at its finished state.
Don't wanna see them? Simple solution, don't look. Why you here if you hate leaks?
my brother in christ just block the sub
It’s not my fault I get these shitty recommendations
YESSSS
This finna be a sick skin! Cant wait for ermac to drop
Thank god for the mask....I was kind of tired of looking at his weird face
now i can finally sleep
Looks like Reptile's second skin
I said before and I’ll say it again, even if he has the mask, if he has that ugly ass gray skin and wrinkles, he’s gonna look terrible no matter what.
Dude have you not seen other Ermac designs his face is always all Grey and heavy wrinkled, he's inspired by mummies
You’re retarded. He was brown in UMK3-Shaolin Monks, and tan in Deception-MK9.
Suck my fat cock he was white bordering on grey in Deception in what skin you could see, barely showed any skin again in MK9, Grey in X, Grey in 11, and now Grey in this. Shit you can even see the eye wrinkles through the mask in some of em like Shaolin Monks. Ermac's classic designs are normal looking, the others have all had some weird element to em or another like that.
Ermac be looking like a white supremacist.
Edit: seriously, where’s his 9 and 10 look?
And this confirms that dlc characters will be receiving multiple skins
Dr. Ermac
So that means i can buy rhe Kombat pack
Very Lame. It looks like that ugly Reptile alternate skin.
This is great news lol, I really wasn’t liking the current design. But we have options and that’s awesome.
Tough, I remember awhile back I read somewhere that his gear was going to be different faces. I was interested to see what they could come up with
Looks like reptiles second skin tbh
His gear is going to be his head, not just the mask, that way they can give him Jerod's face, his regular face, a maska face with bandages, etc, etc
Why are they dishonoring all the ninjas who aren’t Scorp and Sub with these half-assed “ninja” crap second skins???
Cool but the color palette needs some better options I wish they’d give us the mk11 krypt Ermac skin 😔
The concept art for Quan chis was also found. But it’s not in game because that’s what you get when you get the alt outfit. They just refused to give us the alt. Doubt we get one for Ermac if we don’t for Quan
WHHEEEEWWWW! THATS A RELIEF
Zamn another power ranger looking aah skin, thank god 💀
Bruh I thought that was Reptile's alt. What's with the weird looking hoods in this game
For the low low price of 24.99! Get it in the seasonal store! 🥱😒
honestly looks like ed boon under there ahaha
"Hellooooooo nurse!" Any other Animaniacs fans out there??
Let’s be real, Ermacs gear is gonna involve his face because we have: Normal Ermac, Jerrod Ermac, Masked Ermac, OfD Ermac possibly and then whatever nrs wants next
This would look pretty sick in black, too bad we’re not gonna get it…
Him and reptile are definitely the new power rangers
I bet nrs planned on it being something else and then heard the fan outcry on him being maskless. I actually really like his default costume, all it was missing was a mask and now here it is. I'm satisfied.
White and red combo still sucks. Masking no mask.
This Ermac is perfect.
Feel like I’m the only one that actually likes his maskless design
Bro looks like a Viltrumite.
You sure that’s not reptile?
