Yup found a way and made a thread about it. You should check It outDepends heavily on the wakeup. 12, 14, and f41 are your go-to armor breakers. b34 works in a couple cases.

>:|Alright... Reptile has always been my favorite Ninja, but there is a reason I main Ermac. I find EVERYTHING Reptile does just about unsafe and his pokes and normals are complete ass... and don't even get me started about B2 backing away as its active. What do you guys do online? What's your main source of damage? (BnB) Pressure strings? I want to so very badly main my man here but i'm having a very hard time playing him over Ermac.
Slide is tough, the b3 can't hit at all it needs to be all the 4. If his FBs were actual mids this wouldn't even be an issue but you know.....How do you break armor with b3, 4 ? Is it just a timing thing? I'm having some issues with setting up nimble against SubZero because the slide gets me all the time, and it goes under forceball too. I am starting to use Nimble a bit more over Noxious and it seems fun to play but I crai evertim I get hit out of it.
@RapZiLLa54 pls respond ;_;
The only wakeups I've found in the game that can consistently break b34 is the nut punches from both JC and Cassie and Kanos ball.Depends heavily on the wakeup. 12, 14, and f41 are your go-to armor breakers. b34 works in a couple cases.
Wait, KL's spin gets stuffed too?The only wakeups I've found in the game that can consistently break b34 is the nut punches from both JC and Cassie and Kanos ball.
Reptile has plenty of safe options. His major normals and whatnot are safe...his specials are unsafe, but they didn't intend on him being able to cancel into them to end blockstrings. f21, b2, b3, all of f412, etc, are safe. f21 and b3 have pretty good reach, too.
Haha I never even tried that one because I assumed it wouldnt work. To the lab!Wait, KL's spin gets stuffed too?
LOL I was about to say!Haha I never even tried that one because I assumed it wouldnt work. To the lab!
Blown up lolLOL I was about to say!
Yeah if you aren't planning on using the variation stuff for Reptile, just do Noxious. But he needs to use that stuff anyway, since the DoT doesn't do much damage.Strangely, i have fought deceptive reptiles online that don't go invisible ONCE. In that case, wouldn't it be better to just use noxious for the DOT? Isn't everything else the same across variations? Idk much about reptile yet, was just curious
I can't tell if you're downplaying or if you're honestly unaware of how good this character actually is.Well. It was fun while it lasted, but this character compared the rest of the cast is absolute trash. Unless you're Chris G, who could make Helen Kellar look good if she was a MKX character.
I'm not really feeling the damage from Noxious. Nimble gets you guaranteed damage if you can land a hit, and you're not winning rounds without landing a hit. Noxious just does such minor damage and requires you to set it up. Might as well go with Deception at that point and get super invisible mixups (namely that they can't tell if you neutral jumped or jumped at them, and thus you can be somewhat safe against reversals).I'm messing around with Reptile right now and I just noticed that f41 is actually stance specific safe. It is safe in open stance but unsafe in closed, weird, but I guess this stuff is bound to happen....
So what variation are people mostly liking?
I thought Nimble was the obvious choice but I'm not finding ways to do more damage for 1 meter than I can without basalisk anyway. Is it just for setups/rushdown and getting better meterless followups off stuff like b2 midscreen?
Do people find the utility of Nimble more useful than the amount of damage you would get over the course of a round with Noxious?
I'm able to hit that one more often than I'm able to land the bo-dash one, they always end up blocking my last hitLooks like Syzoth's got a secret:
That's a salt maker right there, can't imagine getting it too often however.
EX Invis has armorCan you please elaborate? I know deceptive negates damage from 1 hit, but why do you say ex invisible full combo punish? Does it have armor?
Yes, it does have a hit of armor. I believe it might have the armor hit active on the 1st frame of activation but im not entirely sure.Can you please elaborate? I know deceptive negates damage from 1 hit, but why do you say ex invisible full combo punish? Does it have armor?
This mechanic makes EVERYONE's oki game weaker.Delayed wake up and standup destroy reptile.. Makes his knock down game much weaker
It makes reptile who "thrives on oki" much weaker since that is supposedly one of his strengthsThis mechanic makes EVERYONE's oki game weaker.
I get what you're saying.It makes reptile who "thrives on oki" much weaker since that is supposedly one of his strengths
