Actually it's among your strongest options when you are too close to dash whiff. +3 on block, reaches over half screen. Plus if you trade projectiles with EX spit, it's a free in on most characters.
like i said its almost useless besides very specific situation like you said at beginning of matches against certain characters to get first hit or to finish someone off at mid distance who you think will jump or move at allI'm so tired of hearing how Ex Spit is useless or just not worth it. I love to start matches with Ex spit against the right characters. Against a lot of people they are stuck with two options, duck or use armor. There are a lot of characters that can avoid it at the beginning of a match, but I also like to use it to mix up my zoning game when people think they have a beat on it. I think it's just a really good tool to use to catch people offguard and get them to keep their distance. Of course it's not his best tool, but I still think it's a useful one. Mr. Mileena
I think it's great, people just don't look at it the way I do though I guess lol. even when it doesn't hit it's a blessing in disguise sometimes, it's +3 on block...FREE DASH! lol that's 11% plus the chip you get off of the ex acid spit.
Umm.. I would like to point out that ex teleport gives 40% damage
Safe on block?
like salad said their are other options that are just as good in that situation.. might as well use ex dash or exffb
Im not saying its not good or anything. The meter is just better well spent with ex fb/dash 99% of the time. Wasting 1 bar might not be worth it for a move, and with the trading situation is pretty rare for your opponent to throw a projectile at jumping distance and you cant really trade like that on reaction either.
Its not however, but the reward is very high considering how ermac can do that much damage. Its kinda like nw lightning.
Its not safe.... You can punish it with 30-40% combo
well baiting that teleport might even be what ermac player wants. By respecting the teleport he can build meter, he can outzone you, and he can come in easier. People keep saying how slide is punishable, well idk how many slides brady gets that in lol.
Too many characters hit me for 30+% for having it blocked. I get 11% on hit.
I think this is wrong.... I've never ever have had 122~fb be interrupted. Nor any 122~ anything. Me and my fiance tested it today against kung Lao, sheeva, kabal, and mileena, trying low pokes, fast single strikes, fast specials, and xrays and nothing interrupted reptiles 122~.
I struggle to do this when crouching but off the bat it's easy to do by inputting d+b4 b3. Comes out every time.D4~fb works but is hard for me to do lol. any tips? And im new here. Hi yall
Alright I'll have to try that.... Though it kinda bugs me how you can trick/break the mechanics to doing stuff rather unproperly. Like for example I got replays of reptile doing cancel special moves without specified face button imput.
