Actually the first time I fought your CSZ I lost lol. I won the following two by punishing divekick like you just said.
And how exactly am I gloating? The reason I brought it up is because 3 matches is pretty much nothing. I only threw it in there because you said "not trying to blow you up," which I was just trying to say I know you aren't because how can you blow someone up when we've played so few games? That's the only reason... I had no intention to say I'm better or anything. Your Sub is 1-0 against me I really don't care because again, it was just one match.
And I don't think CSZ v. Reptile is in anyone's favor. Divekick is indeed easily punished by elbow dash, but CSZ has enough going for him in that match up imo. His pressuring is very solid and that combined with his parry is hard to deal with. Yes, I can D4-acid hand to avoid the parry, but I'm not going to win just on that. CSZ slide also iirc goes under normal forceballs which helps him a bit with the zoning problem. I don't know why you think I'm trying to say 2-1 means much of anything especialy when I literally wrote "means little to nothing," when I mentioned it.
...Wat
No dude, the second time I EVER played you was in a KotH. You'd been picking Cyber Subs all night, so just to be cheeky, I thought I'd go for a Cyber Subs mirror. You wound up going to Reptile, at which point I thought "Welp, this isn't going to end well". You shut me down in that match pretty soundly. In fact, I can only remember playing you with Cyber Subs two other times, so I don't know what to tell you there. Either you're remembering me wrong or you're thinking of someone else.
I'm 2-0 with your Reptile with Subs, by the way. The first time we had that match was the first time I played you, and I barely took that one. The second one was quite a bit more convincing on my part, which I attribute to having more experience with Reptile by then. I played you once in KotH (I think I'd just managed to dethrone Lion for a little while). I know it was in the couple of weeks leading up to Evo, because I can remember making a crack about how you'd need to learn how to stop him before you left. I don't know how you missed that, really.
You can blow someone up for how they play, by the way, which is what I'm referring to. I've seen you play in KotH more often than I've actually played you (this tends to be the trend when Milky is king), and that's just something I've noticed. I specified because I didn't want to come across as that dick who tells you that you're bad at the game, since I was just giving constructive criticism. I wasn't trying to imply that you were gloating, by the way, so perhaps my wording was off. All I was saying is that I wouldn't really count those games, since I know he isn't a serious character for you. At the time, he wasn't one for me, either. It's almost sad how much I half-assed my Cyber Subs back then, knowing how much potential he has now.
...And not to blow up Judgement Blade, but I don't know how you have a harder time with his Cyber Subs. He has a good Smoke and a pretty good Cage, but I'd state for the record that my Cyber Subs trumps his. Nothing against him, by any means.
About the matchup, a few things:
1) Almost all of his good pressure strings can be punished by the elbow dash. Reptile has him beat here. I'm pretty sure he can even interrupt a blocked 2 1 1+2 after the 2 1 with an elbow dash, though I'm not sure on that.
2) He can't slide under forceballs. He can slide under acid spit, but unlike Sub Zero, he has no answer to the force ball, so Reptile can zone him out with it all day. If your forceball spacing is too predictable, he can punish with a divekick, but that doesn't happen if you're careful. If you're thinking of the wakeup slide, both Subs and Cyber Subs can go through projectiles with EX slide on wakeup (very inconsistently, as with every "invincible wakeup" in the game).
3) Again, Reptile basically invalidates the parry.
I wouldn't say it's an impossible matchup, but definitely 6-4 in Reptile's favor as far as I'm concerned. He just has a much easier time shutting down Cyber Subs in that matchup.
