Why, he clearly is one of the more skilled fighters in the game.
In his Deception ending, he is described by Shujinko as being capable of handling Kung Lao, Sonya, Kitana, Jax, and Johnny Cage all by himself (with relative ease).
Yes BUT he absorbed everyone's abilities for that particular part, he doesn't have that anymore it seems, he doesn't have it for the fight anyway, just the ones that are in game.
I thought he just rescued them from Onaga's control.
And he shattered the Kamidogu to weaken Onaga so he would be able to hit him with that attack, though he wouldn't of won without that plot device anyway.
No one was saying he was invincible, but he's still enough to beat Ermac, especially since Ermac was one of the fighters whose kombat essence he absorbed around the beginning of Deception while still in the Netherrealm. Shujinko wins.
Really? Well in that case he probably wins, thing is he has his own style know, just others moves. We can't say for sure Shij is skilled enough. Unless he already beat him and I forgot.
He was fighting them all at once and winning easily.
Its been said a couple of times what happened. Ermac has got loads of different peoples soul fused, is it that hard to imagine he can't handle those few.
wait, iirc onaga took the kamidogu from him and left, i dont ever remember them fighting. Did he have an alternate story if you beat arcade mode or something?

Ermac does have Telekentic abilities which he can use virtually over and over again, if he feels like it he could repeat his lift and slam move or any other TK move.
