If you could trade dash for anything, what would it be?

Reptiles Dash has been one of the most complained about moves since the game has come out (see 50% of this sub forum lol) so I ask you, what tool or tools would you rather have?

- JC dash (my pick)

- A low starter

- A 6 frame poke (my pick)

- A 9 frame starter

- A better d1 for AA

- Armor on EX acid hand

- Non techable slide/slide going full screen (my pick)

- Original damage scaling

- Faster recovery on acid spit

- 2 on hit allowing a free JIP without cancelling into invisibility

- A sweep

- 2f31+2 always resetting the opponent

- 124 being able to cancel into damage

- 4 having a faster start up and bigger hit box for AA. (my pick)

I know its not exactly on topic, but I was tweeting Paulo along time ago asking is the :ex Dash would combo in juggles, as it used to in the Beta Version.

If I could swap it for anything, I would swap it for a 7 frame uppercut and the fastest :l:l / :r:r dash in the game, and keep his regular walk.

Reptiles dash is used to Punish, without it, he couldn't do that anymore, he would have the same trouble as Quan Chi.

EX dash combo juggles? Good god the glory :) in terms of dash I wish it was still a wake up attack which it also was in the beta.

As for not being able to punish, he could still punish pretty much everything with 321.. oh wait no dash. Make 32 link into forceball. He could still punish everything with 32forceball combos lol. Him having an actual dash, he could take so much more advantage of things like 12b1, 1221, d4.

When I pick Reptile I dash alot, I dont mean to, it just happens. Its got to the point were even tho hes my main, it bores me senseless. I can do all the combos but I dash to get close to do those combos.

Anyway, i'd pick a low starter or Jades invincibility.

Faster pokes 6 frame d1, 7 frame d3, and both lower hitbox enough to be good anti airs.

Fastest normal dash or on JC's level.

Not being able to jump out of ex dash(really stupid btw)

3 being 10 frames.


Edit- I just realized without dash his bnb would be gone :(, so I'd guess the final one would be to make 32 fast forceball connect.
 
Idk man, his shitty universal dash does make up by the dash for mobility. And he is super slow. Without it he'll be a pretty shitty character.
But if you have to take it away then you must give him longer pokes and JC dash.

Kabal's regular and enhanced dash.

That way, you'd just be a green snotball flying back and forth around the screen.

Honestly, if he didn't have the dash he wouldn't be Reptile, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
