Question - Reptile How to handle low block?

[skcuf]

How the hell do you go about handling a person who constantly blocks low against reptile? I can't figure it out because the only overheads I know of are F412, B2, DB4. Am I missing something? The first two require you to be right on top of the person and the last is so slow they can stand up as soon as they see the flip...

What do I do?

Uhm... Run b2?

 

[Baconlord]

If there sitting there blocking low why can't you run up and do b2

 

[dribirut]

Idk man it's really not that hard to land b2. Reptile gets to land a lot of jump ins

Why does this seem to be a problem between reptile players. Just over head them till they decide to actually guess on the knock down 50/50.

If they keep blocking low do over head.
Of they keep blocking over head do low.

I was trying to do run B2 last night against a Sonya player but she kept grabbing me with her ankles and throwing me overhead. Maybe it was an execution error on my part but I couldn't find a way in.

reptilian dash B2. reptile is a 50/50 character, this really shouldnt be an issue.

are you keeping the pressure up with your down 4s?

@skcuf I can understand the problem. b2's drawback is it's very short range.
Once you get in, be sure to abuse it.

As for opening the opponent up, don't forget about your projectiles and throws. If your opponent wants to go ahead and turtle with the life lead, feel free to build meter and then go in.

I absolutely am not. This is my first fighting game so I'm still learning what to do. I never jump either which I'm beginning to think is a problem seeing as how everyone I come across seems to have learned how to play from kangaroos.

Down 4 is pretty much the universal footsie tool. bully them with it. on hit run in and pressure and on block respect your negative frames. run in d4 is viable. you have to teach your opponent to respect your options before you start going in for the mixups. i dont really play reptile so unfortunately i cant give specifics.

I'm no expert, but doesn't everybody in this game have a throw?

Jesus wasn't this quotable. I am getting this tattooed.

 

[IrishMantis]

He needs to be touching range to hit

Thank God for that lol

I'm just here to quote this post because it's godlike.

I jump a lot, and I know I shouldn't because my jump attacks get beat out EVERY SINGLE TIME lol
