HHHAHhaha I special cancel sweeps all the time, here's how I do it.. B4 then hit the opponents controller out of their hands lololololI guess all reptile players think you can special cancel sweeps then.

he already has a low launcher.... that is safe on block because of option selects.I am just asking whether you guys are aware of this and a lot of you guys were apparantly not aware of it. But you guys can shrug a low launcher off like you just did after hearing reptile will get buffs. You can go back to the beginning of this thread, I am not against reptile buffs neccessarily. I clearly said be reasonable with the buffs instead of asking for a 6 frame dash+ a bunch of other buffs.
I guess you guys have never heard of conditioning the opponent to block and regardless of whether you guys think it is useful I was just asking whether you guys knew about it, but you guys act like oh please dont tell me about a low launcher he has.he already has a low launcher.... that is safe on block because of option selects.
actually... HE HAS 2
lmfao...... and the one you presented is so rare that i'm pretty sure i would need to ask my opponent to stand still... or un-plug his controller.
/threadI guess you guys have never heard of conditioning the opponent to block.
Well..pressure is pressure, but it CAN lead to damage. imo thats the whole point of pressure..to lead to damage. b3,4 / f412 does end his pressure on block, but on hit it lead to damage. works out even. im not sure what u mean by this. Since when was anything guarenteed?Aside B34 and F412, all his other strings are strictly for pressure and pressure alone does nothing unless it leads to damage. And B34 and F412 ENDS his pressure unless the opponent is scared to press a button. As of now, the only solid way to get an oppnent scared is EX Swipe. Reptile sacrifices 30% + potential health for a CHANCE to get damage? There's a clear problem in the risk/reward sector here.
In MK9 he only had 321 because it was the only tool necessary for offense aside from pokes and Acid Hand. This game is very different to MK9 so the comparison is irrelevant.
Your first sentence is literally insinuating that no characters need buffs, everyone just needs to condition their opponents better. Come the fuck on dude, you don't main reptile and clearly barely play him. Why do you feel that you can possibly change anyone's minds about what they want buff-wise, when every post you've made in this thread is the most captain obvious/down syndrome shit I've ever read? The discussion is about frame/damage buffs and you come in with "B4 your opponents after a slow ball, didn't you know?"I guess you guys have never heard of conditioning the opponent to block and regardless of whether you guys think it is useful I was just asking whether you guys knew about it, but you guys act like oh please dont tell me about a low launcher he has.

Did you not see the video I posted and even tagged you on? In what delusion-filled universe do you live in where there exists a regular Slowball set-up?He still getting a ton of FB out at all kinds of different ranges contrary to what this thread says... and he's winning a lot more than he's losing. If the damage buff is really confirmed (and people already complaining that it isn't enough), then I think Reptile is sitting alright.
@DubiousShenron
The difference between the Mileena community and this one is pretty fucking telling. Before even her first buff making telekick no longer punishable on hit, they were optimistic to the point of obnoxious. Meanwhile, Reptile threads...
Why would I comment on your theory fighter bullshit when I have an actual fucking video of someone using it in actual fucking matches and actually fucking winning with it?Did you not see the video I posted and even tagged you on?

How are those "not hard"? In practice mode I can hit those less than 5% of the time and I couldn't ever get the slide to come out at the end, lets not even consider what it probably is online. I'd rather do an easy combo for 18% damage 90%+ of the time than some super hard combo for slightly more damage a fraction of the time. I think they tightened the input swallowing in this last patch. Go practice your combos and tell me your success rate.Dude I think you should explore the character more. B2 to b34? Why not 21 21 f412 slide or f41 f412 ex swipe f412 slide where you get way more damage? Also, execution is not hard at all. Your other post, while you said a bunch of true things, half of it was nonsensical.
Because the person who lost didn't know you have a billion fucking options out of it? It's called labbing and learning match-ups.Why would I comment on your theory fighter bullshit when I have an actual fucking video of someone using it in actual fucking matches and actually fucking winning with it?
I don't know who that is and I didn't watch esl but I know that I play a handful of really solid raiden consistently (one being jwong) and I am feeling that mu is even.bruh...so do you think that Reptile would of been able to compete with Nivek's raiden yesterday at ESL?
It's you buddy lol they're not hard at all.How are those "not hard"?

Edit: just realized the context isn't clear. This is after B2
Cossner (who, I admit, thinks Reptile should get buffs) gets multiple SFB off, many of which he can follow in here... vs Sabin (with the dumb, dumb Raiden who is able to punish just about everything in this game) who is ostensibly better than you and me, no? So it isn't a matter of "it only works on the shitty and the dumb." Quit the tired hyperbole, it's why this thread can only marginally be taken seriously.Because the person who lost didn't know you have a billion fucking options out of it?

It's not even like in Sub Zero or Takeda's case where you have to figure out the ONE way to get out of something. You can literally do whatever the fuck you want and you get out of that "set-up"
Thats not high level gameplay at all. We don't base match up discussions in anything that isn't high level gameplay.He still getting a ton of FB out at all kinds of different ranges contrary to what this thread says... and he's winning a lot more than he's losing.

Wot? You wrote thatI guess all reptile players think you can special cancel sweeps then.
What? Who said anything about getting free 50/50s? Who's acting like lows are the only option? What are you on about?And I am sorry you can't just run up with your forceball and 50/50 people all day that easily. You guys act like a low is your only option when you run up.
I already stated I'd choose between pokes or dash. It seems you haven't even been paying attention :/You guys want better frame data on normals AND better recovery on forceballs. You want better pokes AND a 6 frame dash.
Thats some very early and the meta has evolved past that. We both play very differently now and I'd take that gameplay with a grain of salt.Cossner (who, I admit, thinks Reptile should get buffs) gets multiple SFB off, many of which he can follow in here... vs Sabin (with the dumb, dumb Raiden who is able to punish just about everything in this game) who is ostensibly better than you and me, no?

For the record, I'm not even necessarily opposed to decreasing recovery or what have you, but the amount of bitching and moaning in this thread is exhausting. If even a third of the proposed changes would go through, Reptile would spike to truly dumb and truly broken which I have a feeling is exactly what the loudest portions of the Reptile army want. At this point, any buffs need to be small and thoughtful. If there is really a damage increase coming, let's just shut the fuck up for a while and try it out.
