Question - Reptile If this patch happens, what would you like to see changed with Reptile?

M.D.

Spammer. Crouch walk hater.
From all the crap we put up with top tiers, some people found reptile the problem with safe meterless 50-50s.

Brah...

Breh...

Bruh...

Do you even play?

If you try to counter poke d3 then b2 will beat it.
Online, with 3 frames of added delay, yeah. Offline, vs someone who actually reacts to it, that tactic is nowhere near as effective. You will be hit before you can d3 just about every time. Even online, it's not that great vs better comp.

The d3 to b2 shenanigan is simply a shenanigan, and gets you killed vs someone who knows what's up.

What IS a legit b2 stuff setup is spaced d1.

welcome to the ButtSlam
So forceball into spit isn't a thing
Also good jump in does nothing if there are 4 projectiles on screen, and why would you use spit jump range anyways?
is that even an issue??

i mean, it's not that Reptile mauls ppl by putting a forceball and doing a spit

sounds more like your problem than the character
 
How much recovery on spit are we talking, because i play that mu alot and i see how good that meta is now imo (with the added acid balls)...but i do agree he needs changes

...and whoever used subzero as a reason...:DOGE


What about making his d3 6frames on start up?

6f d3 wouldn't really address anything. It's already 7f, and he is +2 on quite a few things.

His issues are more variation-specific, now.

Do you think acid blast recovery should be changed? That would really shoot him up if the recovery was faster...which is not a problem.

Even if it is shenanigans, in hit d3 has enough advantage to a. Go for another d3 b. go for b2 or c. Go for b3 or f3 both which are safe by the way.

It'd certainly make him a lot better, but it's not really a change he necessarily needs. It's fine as is right now, but it wouldn't be a bad change at all. Would actually help out Nimble significantly.

Yeah, on hit, it's cheeky shit. On block, it's not really that bad. And against a good opponent, ends your offense.
 

omooba

fear the moobs
b2 has very stubby range and leads to pretty low damage overall even with meter investment. It being +1 isn't really a major deal, when he can't really take advantage of it all like that.

I wanted to give EX gas the property of counting as hits on armor too, but I'm not sure how crazy that'd be for him.
doesn't b2 do 40 in the corner for a bar?

Maybe you do not want Reptile to be great again,but you want NRS to help you win every game for free .
I don't play reptile but i think NRS should give him some of the tools he used to have in mk9. He can no longer charge his ex force ball into a bigger size nor have the same recovery on his elbow run and if that wasn't annoying enough for reptile players they also took his restanding ex acid spit so they can turn it into a d'vorah variation for god knows why.

Also i don't think you should talk/complain about characters turning braindead or auto pilot while you're a dung jin player.

B2 must be minus on block, because 11f start up + possibilty to convert after that + +1 on block + pushback, that makes no sense.
And even if it's the only plus on block, I got one word for you : "Gimmicks"

i don't think it's too much to ask that it's not plus but eh wtv
It's literally only +1 and pushes him back to a range that doesn't really benefit from the advantage that much. 2 out of his 3 options that will hit you from that far away are unsafe and the 3rd can be checked despite the advantage.
