the game is full of broken stuff.

reptile has broken stuff, but why bother when you can play something else just as broken but easy.

Why play something technical when you can pick kang up and faceroll your way through pools. It was the same deal with kotal before the launcher nerf. Whats the point in trying to out footsie and outplay your opponent when you can just hit B1 and force your opponent to guess a mix.

Also low poke into special (hopefully can launch into full combo and be made safe) is a strong gameplan and reptile (although d3 is strong) isn't the best at doing this. I don't believe he low profiles with D3 either (like sektor)

I wonder what's broken about him. I think he's alright based on playing against good Reptile mains. A good reptile can mess your head with set-ups and spacing.

If we use a dictionary it'd probably be full of no broken stuff lol.

Also, Mileena, Sektor, Cassie, aren't really poke into special gods. You know who are? Alien, Kung Jin. Idk if that really decides too much. I'd put the former 3 at the very top and the latter two at mid tier at best.

Yeah they just low profile mids instead.

huge damage, plus on block overhead, forceballs are incredible tools in the right hands.

Fellow Zaterrans. There is a point I must bring up and seek your counsel.

Recently, I have begun to notice that the number of Reptile players is beginning to multiply! New players are taking a liking to the character and established players have picked him up, which makes me happy as the more the merrier.

It had come to my attention that the Reptile community had been getting a bad reputation for a certain habit, I shrugged this off...until today, when I witnessed this disgusting habit with my own eyes.

I, of course, refer to.....D3, D3, D3, 50/50.

We must seek to eradicate this nonsense and ensure that when people think of Reptile, they think of quality play and excellent setups, not that absolute garbage mentioned above.

LOL most Reptiles I play love that but most of the good ones don't do it, or try it occasionally.
 
I enjoy Reptile, he is fun to use but his AA sucks, his pokes are whatever. Still play him but I moved on to Ferra Torr. They should have just gave every character the same Anti Air. Find it stupid a variety of characters have reliable AA's and others suffer.

Level up. Nothing is truly broken in this game, especially not reptile.

Kung Jin and alien? They have no safe mix specials to cancel into (excluding Jin with meter). Kenshi can though, why exclude him?

Meech ain't really wrong, though, lol. I don't think there's really anything broken anymore. Cheap as shit, yeah, but I wouldn't call the stuff broke.

Its all relative, when i say broken, I mean strong offence. Nobody can say that reptile doesn't have strong offence. His main downside is that there are many kharacters that can stop him from playing his game and they also have strong offence.

This isn't marvel.

I hear you, Reptile offence is great especially in Nimble. I just move on to other characters if I find it's a bad match up. My favourite Variation in the game is basically useless after the patch. Ferra Torr is a great character, but his Lacky Variation is terrible. Without armoured launchers the variation simply "Lacks" 8^)

So when you say broken, you mean something that isnt broken. Broken has a definition in the FGC and nobody in MKX (not even Jason) fits that bill. You can say reptile doesn't have strong offense compared to some of the other offense in the game. He doesn't have any real cheap dirt imo.

Thank you for a constructive post and I agree. Broken was the wrong choice of word for the situation and I apologise.

Reptile does have some cheap stuff if he gets going, sadly his match-ups let him down.

You on PS4? Would like to run a set with Commando and see what you think of the MU. From what I can tell already, Commando loses at a distance. Also i can play with cybernetic and you can see how that is too, I think it's either 5-5 or slightly in kanos favor
