Its crazy how there are so many people who think hes a Top 10 character though lol. Fuck tier lists, lets keep it simple. Reptile is not a competitive character in this game.
noKrakken with Noxious visual indicator is the beauty beyond the human eye can perceive
No you don't but I guarantee you this. You will not see Reptile being picked in the Top 8 at EVO this year because of his tool set and how it matches up with the Top 5 - 10 of this game.
my bad on the first one. Mistook keep away with zoning. Yeah Liu has a fast overhead. He can't convert anything of of it.but you do have overheads... And a mix up with the 113... That grans you even more pressure which you can make safe by using the meter you just earned.. Am i missing something here?
Thats not what keep away means. You have a fast OH, you have one of the best projectiles in the game and one of the best d3s in the game. No idea what reptile or mileena have anything to do with that.
Reptile gains a 50/50 into a full combo with a bar? What? You mean he gets an extra 10%, not even breaking the 30% bar right?
No he doesn't lol no one has your projectile game, not everyone has your meter building capacity or safeness.
Literally any of this has nothing to do with reptile.
Nothing free costing a bar man. Agree to disagree myself..It goes through zoning, it brings you up close for free and it can be used to punish from time to time.
You just don't understand
Kraken might be my second favorite Reptile costume.Kraken is just terrible, how can anyone even use it. So bad.
Holy lmfao this wins everythingI came in here expecting to see people make stupid statements containing false facts and people unwilling to back up their opinions on why reptile is good. Well TYM did not dissapoint infact I'm pretty sure I have cancer now.
It's like the fastest move in the game...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.
Im saying id a 6 frame dash and subs ex slide over an 8 frame dash and 6 frame slide.It's like the fastest move in the game...
Who else has even used Reptile in tournament besides like 2 people? Ofc im sticking with kj and coming back whenever he gets better, I'm not doing another "play a bottom tier character for 2 years" again.@RapZiLLa54
Once buffs come, you will be praised as the reptile savior.
@RM Cossner please stick with KJ and come back to play Reptile once he gets buffed and act like you were down all along. Only props you get is blasting @Tom Brady but atleast he's a character loyalist
Reptile needs help to be competitive. Kenshi just got his main source of damage on block from -23 to -9. Reptile can receive similar treatment as well.
Bottom Five atm: Reptile - Kitana - Jason - Liu Kang - Mileena (Maybe replace with Goro)
I really hope you're jokingThat's good man you need those other characters stick to them, because Reptile is just trash tier. Just wait for mk9 fb's and dash to come back I'm sure he'll be better then. Let's make that claw an overhead and give him more damage then he'll be solid.
In case you were wondering that was indeed sarcasm. Just look at his tool set. The character has everything he could possibly need to win, and he uses all those tools well in different ways in various situations. As far as neutral goes he is among the best characters in the game, his zoning us better than most characters in this game, and he has enough offensive presence to force people to respect him enough to have to eat pressure. He can do just about anything. The only thing I really see him struggle with is getting out of solid pressure, he still has the tools they are just harder to use as most times his best option is armor. His meter building is the only other problem I can really see, it's really slow for a character who relies so heavily on it. Aside from those two things there should be no complaints from anyone in any facet of his game. He plays up to par with pretty much all the cast, and all the MU'S he does lose he doesn't lose them by much. Btw, losing a mu to a character doesn't mean that character is better, it's just a bad mu. Beating a character and being a better are two completely different things. That's not necessarily directed at you I have just seen that concept get mixed up more than a few times in this thread.
If you want at least 5 characters rep is better than here:
Kitana
Kano
Ferra Torr
Kotal
Mileena
Jason
Goro
Cassie Cage
Kung Lao
Kenshi
Jacqui
Shinnok
Feel free to pick 5 out of that list because imo reptile is better than all of them. I didn't even post up the characters who I personally think reptile is better than I probably a lot of others dont. I think you'll all start to come around and see once this game is fully fleshed out.
Thats why this thread exists, to support buffing reptile so he wont be a bottom tier character for 2 years.Who else has even used Reptile in tournament besides like 2 people? Ofc im sticking with kj and coming back whenever he gets better, I'm not doing another "play a bottom tier character for 2 years" again.
Lol we might argue but we all know there is a deep mk9 bondThis thread not only tears TYM apart but also Reptile players apart
Guise we're still family, right?
@THTB @RM Cossner @dribirut @Scoot Magee @Joker8417 @RapZiLLa54
Lol I remember that d3 tech. But I was blown up for saying it for the same reasons people we think he is bad now. But it's whatever it doesn't matterFirst of all, 99% of the reptile community saying he's bad a) doesnt have any type of high level experience with him, b) doesnt understand the engine and c) say he's bad but they dont understand why.
I've never hid any opinion I have about the character, hell I dropped him for KJ ! I'm sorry that I didnt come to argue with people who think Reptile is trash because they don't understand how the oki works or who think mashing d3 in the corner is actual "tech".
Of course no one should lose a third of their life bar to 50/50s the problem is that most charactrrs do just that!!! You guys keep stating I'm saying I want buffs but I repeat I really don't care. Just calling it like it is. Reptile is an honest character and nowhere near the top.Reptile gets 36% into a forceball for 1 bar midscreen punish in Nimble, 30% midscreen meterless into a slide knockdown. In the corner he gets 27% meterless off his PLUS ON BLOCK overhead and 30% for one bar from the low. He gets 43% for one bar punish in the corner in Nimble, 33% meterelss. The only thing low damage are his 50/50's as they should be. No body should lose over a 3rd of their life bar because they guess wrong on a 50/50. Two b34's on hit are 32% and they're safe, come on.
This 'low damage output' nonsense has got to stop.
What's up with your anger and shitty attitude man. Most of us actually have suggested reasonable changes..We all know his variations are lacking variety, thats needs to be looked at.. along with applying Forceballs changes. <---These two should be the ONLY focus for change for us. The Hell with damage.
If nrs was to mess around and grant you babies request on damage...and damage ONLY. Guess what? you wouldnt be able to say a word. But hold that. And he would still be the same character..on the same list on the tier chart...doing the same ol shit.
I've used Reptile in tournament and I typically do okay/subpar. People have high expectations for me since I used to always win Injustice in my scene. Beating the likes of My God, Greggu, Pnut, BigMilk etc. typically means you're a good player.. However, I can't get a firm grip on this game with Reptile. I used Reptile while visiting a tournament in Oklahoma, but had to use Quan Chi in order to win in Grand Finals. When I play Quan I know what the game is supposed to feel like. When I play Reptile I feel like he's a great character, but slightly unfinished and not ready to compete with what most of the other cast has to offer.Who else has even used Reptile in tournament besides like 2 people? Ofc im sticking with kj and coming back whenever he gets better, I'm not doing another "play a bottom tier character for 2 years" again.
goro's damage is fineReptile... bottom 5... right...
Play Goro, then come back here and complain about damage...
