Closing in on 2k fights with reptile..
Rapzilla, I'm a big fan, studied your gameplay.
Reptile needs some better frame data. I get pinned by many characters in the corner and can't armor out - Have no teleport - And get interrupted during wakeups. Johnny, Cassie, Sonya, a Kotal, Raiden, and every single god forsaken Lui Kang.
Reptile's uppercut is slow and shorter range than many characters.
Kotal.. the big giant has a much faster d3 than Reptile as well as many other characters (it's also extreme short range)
Reptile's mixups suck. Especially if you compare to the latest DLC character.
I would like to see some quicker frame data. Reptile is very punishable. The klaw needs to be overhead. The fact that it isn't is completely asinine. A slash that arcs over his head is a med? What? I'd say Reptile's learning curve is very high. It takes time to learn how to sidestep his flaws and even then you can easily lose to an opponent based off of the characters they choose.
Also, not that they'd change this but.. Reptile's brutalities SUCK. Spit over their mouth. They die, (not much of an animation) Rip their heart out with your tongue.. assuming you can lick the everloving crap out of your opponent midfight and finish it with the 2% damage move. Noxious's uppercuts their headoff.. mind you this same fatality was in the very first couple of MKs. And reptile doesn't catch or eat their head. Deceptive requires you to repeatedly waste bars vomiting on your opponent. Whats the animation? He pukes on their face and only the front half of their skull melts... not even through the skull. Just their face. Only the front half. and all that acid that pours over their chest? Doesn't leave a mark. Knee Kapper is the only one I'm okay with. His secret input for his first one is kinda cool. Sucks it can't occur in air.
Reptile had so much Brutality potential.. His grab coulda slashed them to pieces. His Pounce coulda ripped right through the opponent.
These brutalities prevent Reptile from being competitive in ladders.
His fatalities. His deceptive brutality and splits their head in half.. Looks rushed and one of the least brutal fatalities. And His second he dissolves his opponent in acid. Which... he also has been doing since mk3? But Atleast it's the best he has.
Sorry this rant has been long coming
