Reptile EX SLIDE GLITCH needs to be fixed

[Luija1006]

I don't see any thread about this topic in this forum. Actually, I am a bit surprised no one has complained about this, because this glitch has already cost me A LOT of matches. When you do the EX Slide, randomly (but VERY consistently), Reptile will not complete the animation and will not finish his oponent with the 2 aereal kicks, not doing the whole damage and leaving him at frame disadvantage. This is glitch can cost you the game in very crucial moments. For example:

Kabal vs Reptile
1-1 rounds, even
Kabal at 39% of life bar.
Reptile at 9% of life bar.

Kabal is zoning me and has no EX bar. At jump distance I JNP his saws and confirm my BNB for 32% leaving him with a 7% life bar. I correctly predict the wake-up saws, do the EX SLIDE, Reptile slides kabal to the air and fails the 2 kicks, leaving reptile at frame disadvantage and kabal with 1% bar. He does the wake-up saws again and I lose the game. Obviously if the two kicks didn't fail I would have won the round, so instead of getting rewarded for a correct prediction, I get punished.

NRS fix this, because this glitch is complete shit, and I guarantee they are a lot of reptile players losing games because of this glitch. Soon I will post a video. Thanks for reading,

My best regards,

It's a known glitch, but I believe it only applies to the corner, that's the only time I've had it happen to me that I can recall. None the less, it's quite obnoxious, but it is avoidable...I suppose.

But yes, adequate testing to find out why/how/where this happens is certainly needed. I think it only applies if your opponent is in the corner, but I could be wrong.

Actually, no. In the Reptile vs Kabal match the Glitch happened at Half-Screen. I just reproduced the glitch in practice mode and got it filmed, soon I will upload it to youtube when I am less busy. Thanks for your answer

Not sure if its the same glitch but I've seen two different ones. One is : Reptile connects the EX slide and pops the opponent up in the air, but the aerial kick bugs out and completely whiffs the opponent, this same glitch has a different variation in the corner. Reptile attempts the aerial kick after popping opponent up in the air but he faces the wrong way once in the air and whiffs the kick.

Other glitch I've seen and not even sure if its a glitch in this game at this point, given that this games hitboxes are a joke, (Especially Reptile And Mileena) Reptile EX slides and the slide never connects, He just slides torward his opponent and the opponent does not even need to block, the slide just slides against the opponents legs until the animation is over, causing no damage to the opponent.

This is the one I am talking about. The wall variation has happened to me, but not so much. I never use EX Slide in the corner, just as an anti-projectile tool (with the new armor added to it), maybe that's the reason I don't see it too often.

bump..

How about when you blow a bar on a slow force ball only to have a scorpion user teleport around it then walk through it. Don't know if that is a bug or not, but it still makes me -____-

As promised, I updated the first post of this thread with my video showing the EX Slide Glitch Mid-Screen. "Enjoy"

I think it has something to do with the height of the opponent in the air when you hit them with slide. I'm not too sure, and yes it leaves you at a huge disadvantage and wastes your meter. In the video I'm guessing Kabal using the saws alters his hitbox so it makes teh last part of the slide miss

I suppose too, but we can't control how the opponent pops in the air, so the chance of the glitch happening is always there. As you can notice, this glitch is not something random that happens once in three red moons: after only FOUR tries, the glitch happened, so you can imagine how consistently I am losing rounds thanks to this. Not only with Kabal, I face good Quan Chi, Scorpion and Cyrax players locally (characters I can remember the glitch working on them) and this glitch is always fucking with my patience. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

Honestly, I blame this on the god damn 3D hitboxes; why they went with those is beyond me...bad move. Reptile can do standing 4s and completely go through Smoke's bombs too, since the bombs target his right leg.
