So what do you disagree with? Because the only part that is up for discussion is that he has arguably no winning matchups. Go read his match up thread and general thread you will see this thought isn't uncommon. All I said was punishable is punishable and you definitely do want to spend most of your time stand blocking. Reptile's low options are a slide that does 6ish percent(punishable) b3 which is solid, but is 16% meterless and can get 30% for a bar. It has a knack for low profiling alot of attacks which is why I use it over the slightly better ranged F3. F3. Which does a bit less off of memory at the price of better range. A 7 frame low poke d3 which is annoying and used to get you to do exactly what a Reptile wants which is low block. If you ever see Reptile's tongue you know the incoming attack is a low. It's his only low starter meterless. Leads to 30%.
What safe armored moves does he do? I need to find out what those are.
Lol brother people have no idea. Jumping around and jump back normals are the death of Reptile in footsie ranges!
I keep seeing other reptile mains say this. i don't usually have issues with anyone jumping because i tend to spit or forceball if they are jumping backwards. Unless its scorp then i just kind of let him and bait a teleport lol. But for the most part players cant be nutty against reptile in the air because his ground options are pretty good.
Ding ding ding.. Any good player can use This strategy to complétely shut him down
I would say characters with the longer range on the jump 1s. Kotal, Sonya, Shinnok etc.
Yeah they all get ex clawed or b4 on jump in. When jumping away they all get spit on. I really only see scorp or mileena being a problem on jumps. And kung lao if he does a max distance jump 2 into pressure., its hard to ex claw right.
reptile is very hard to stop, but with liu i think its possible, the fireball pressure should beat out his gravity balls, and his spit can be ducked, just gotta watchout for his OH leap and 6 frame slide... don't know if u can consistantly but when he tries to gap close with that leap, you can DB2 armor to launch him right back out before he fully lands. just note that your B1 will not stop his slide and B3~DB4B
I'm gonna ask @ESG Jagged for help. He's a 3 time evo champion. And a 15 time WWE champion.

id say you would have to keep him out with liu.. johnny on the other hand i think u should be able to pressure him out.. don't you have some ex link you can add some push back to bait the F21 setup? and i think you have faster walkback with johnny than reptile?
kinda like the kotal sonya match we had... dat walk speed with sonya was dope.
Dont get me wrong, not all characters can just Jump brainlessly and beat him. They also have to have other tools that compliment the strategy. Such as shinnok, kung lao, tanya,
Yeah tanya is tough, there is too much random factor to everything she does. Her ground and air pressure can be delayed which i think is dumb. I agree with kung lao as well.
Its not so much aa but to get on him. His back dash and Jump back 1 are a nightmare to deal with when dealing with oki pressure/ post hell sparks/ after he staggers certain strings
No, Reptile beats Goro.
Maybe. But there is also no one that represents rhe character at a high enough level to really have a good idea of the mu
