I would honestly say it were Liu Kang advantage if Reptile didn't rape him so hard on knockdown, and if it weren't so easy for Reptile to get a knockdown. However for these two reasons alone I just have trouble being convinced.
On knock down he is limited but the problem is the opposite of the cage problem. It's so hard to get in on him if he is good at zoning. once you do, reptile can't really keep the pressure on him that long once he is out of meter, given how lius normals are faster. Then he combos you to the corner and you are back to square one. It's not impossible but round 1 I feel kang has an advantage.

Trust me I understand the other side of the argument as well, but I truly feel that it's so bad for Kang once reptile gets the knockdown that he it really evens out, and I am actually probably going to dust off my copy of MK and test some slide tactics on his zoning because I think from certain distances you can just slide under iaf's and high fireballs on reaction without being punished, which could help.

Does this mean jokers back!?!?!?¿

I've been the guy screaming cage is 5-5 for a year.....










However, I'm starting to come around to the idea it's favoring cage after my friend started maining him.

En SFB completely fucks up her teleport, so throw in those every now and then, because they always try to react to the forceball. It also stuffs her roll. The only thing she really has is en tele +daggers, and if you're being too aggressive her wakeup ball can mess you up. And her zoning is bad because of reptiles slide, i always get a punish when they see i wiff a slide and then dash while they try to punish. She's just too punishable. If it's not 6-4, it's at least a difficult 5-5 for her.

Mileena has no reason to use ex teleport ever in this match since the regular teleport gets punished the same way by Reptile. What are you saying about Reptile's slide? If you're saying to whiff it on purpose that's definitely not a good idea, and you can't really slide under her ground sai so it's not that great anyway. No way is this 6-4 though

Lol, i play against the computer on easy, it's a pretty free matchup.

Idk, i used to have a hard time vs Mil, but lately like the last 10 mileenas i've fought have been won pretty easily.

@.@ lmao pls stahp. It's 5-5 at best seriously. Most Mileenas just aren't good if I'm going to be honest, I have played like 3 legit mileenas total.

You can slide under her ground sai. It just is pointless to do, because it's not like Sub's slide, which has much more range and starts up faster.

Ok, so I'm really tired of kung Lao. Maybe its online, I don't know. I feel like this match is damn near impossible. I feel like I can't move at all. I have absolutely no way to keep control of this match. He jumps around freely, builds meter like a mother fucker, and the moment I try anything I get effing teleported or dive kicked.

MITDJT I know you say its not bad, please let me know why...haha. I try using d4 to screw with his jumps and strings but the more random Lao is the more he blows me up.

It's all about that patience. Sit and wait for things and punish.

Reptile's hitbox is so unorthodox that shit from teleport whiffs like crazy. You have to make them respect that Reptile's hitbox will drive a KL insane if you know how to abuse it.

I'll PayPal you $3.78 if you tell me how to abuse it.

Granted a lot of this frustration comes from online. I'll make his 122 string whiff, go to punish and get 1. Spun 2. Crossed up 3. 21 spin. It's infuriating.

As for teleport. I just rely on.the ol uppercut it online since its like play in slow motion underwater. But half the damn time I'm to late, wether its lag.or not I don't know because I have 0 Laos to play offline.
