Gesture Required Ahead
Get on that hook
Not in the corner with the threat of EX Swipe.
I'm not saying it's good. But it's what he has now. A better F4, F41, F412 can change that.

Not in the corner with the threat of EX Swipe.
I agree with this. But the Reptile players have been complaining more about their character, so we get the obligatory cheap shot every now and then
.
Did I ever suggest I wasn't? I haven't not played Reptile since.........ever lol The only character who could get me to drop Reptile is Predator or if they put Batman in this game lol
I just want to point out, you know Lui Kang rapes Reptile right? So even if Kang is bottom 5, hes still beats the living shit out of Reptile.
The problem is that you're looking and LK like if fighting games were "you do the oh/low" as the be all end all. 1) you're conditioning the opponent to block low always, use this as an advantage. 2) Lk can play a heavy keep away game. 3) your pressure builds insane meter.
The entire point is that is completely normal for a character of this archetype. You make it sound like having a weakness to rushdown is something that shouldn't happen to a character who controls mid range to full screen better than about 80% of the cast. Ex slide is also nowhere near as bad as yer making it sound as an option either. It pushes them closer to the corner (or gets you out of it) and gives you an advantage of obtaining space between you and the opponent again. Sorry not every character can just derp out some armor and get a full 35-40% combo punish into mixup. It sounds to me like the majority of Reptile players just want to Derptile. Don't get salty at me cuz you wanna derp bruh.
"downplay"
I don't hate EX slide because it doesn't leads to a combo, I hate ex slide because its 1 bar of meter for 8% that doesn't switch sides and it doesn't allow a follow up or to get a forceball on the screen safely vs a majority of characters. I'd trade this slide with Subs ex slide any day.
what are you smoking? Hook me up!
I agree with the lack of hard knockdown.
What characters can't reptile play the neutral with that aren't already considered top tier?
Thats kinda overreaching Aj. Ex Slide is fine.
Thats a completely different skewed question.
You don't need just MU charts to fill out tier lists, you can easily look at characters tool sets/frame date and compare. Most of Reptiles tools are elsewhere in the game with better versions ie Subs Ice Blast, Kanos Knives, KJ UpKick, Jax Dash Punch, Subs Slide on top of having no variety between variations. He feels very incomplete when compared to other characters in the game that typically have 3 different arch type variations whether they gain mixups, zoning, rushdown, Reptile gets traits that don't affect MUs.
When most of the cast can "derp", what's wrong with wanting to derp yourself? And when his ability to control the screen relies on a mediocre elbow dash and forceballs that are slow as molasses... yeah, it kinda sucks.
You need MU's to determine where characters sit in the game on top off all that other stuff, as they are pointless without one another, stop with that noise.
Why is it over reaching? When you're in the corner you use it and now send your opponent full screen back to midscreen at neutral for 8% instead of switching positions and turning the tables like Sub. Its not terrible, I just again look at it as Reptile getting the shitty version of a move that exists in the game lol.
Fine for final hit, but what else would you use it for..
I dont think it does, we're mostly in agreement that he needs SOMETHING, we all seem to have different opinions on what it is which is cool. Except for Joker, I have no fucking idea what that dude is talking about lolThis thread not only tears TYM apart but also Reptile players apart
Guise we're still family, right?
