I have some notes:
F21,1+3 ex "not worth using" is wrong. It's definitely good when you cant hitconfirm into ex klaw which does more damage.
Using d3 "in between pressure" is a terrible idea. It's 9f that leads to nowhere you should be using f4.
D4 "just a low hit" instead of "one of the best footsie tools in the game" is misleading, plus you're not explaining the purpose or why everyone should be doing it 10 times more.
You just kinda mention b3 and you don't say anything about the OS which is one of Reptile's corner stones.
F412 "good for setups" instead of "main string, main combo starter, main counter poking tool and meter building string"
You called frame traps "setups".
You didn't even mention 21.
F412 ex ball is a massive waste of meter. More on that below.
Saying klaw pounce is a good wake up is bad info. Never wake up with klaw pounce.
F41 f41 "mind game" gets easily blown up at high level gameplay.
All the combos (except the swaggy ones) are day 1 and unoptimized.
Never use 1 as an antiair. Never.
You said one of the combos led to a vortex. Thats not what vortex means. Thats not a vortex. Reptile's only vortex comes from ex grab and its really easy to see it coming.
F412 ex ball gimmick does NOT work at a high level. Anyone with half a brain will tech roll and whiff punish you. This will only work online and against scrubs. Believe me IVE TRIED. Do not waste a bar in f412 ex bar when you can hit confirm it and get 39% instead.
Nimble is the best variation yet you dont even mention the bnbs. He gets 49% in the corner and 39% mid screen.
You don't mention the corpse hop or how to properly use it.
You don't mention ex klaw swipe which may very well be his main launcher
This is not a high level guide, it's a start but it doesn't explain Reptile's fundamentals and it's full of gimmicks.
Really appreciate the feedback, man. These are a lot of good notes, Ima try to address them in rapid fire....and go;
-My f2,1,1+3 ex note was only out of opinion. I does lead to some more damage, but I'd rather save the bar for another ex ball or ex klaw.
-The d3 in between pressure thing, i THINK i did mention somewhere at some point that only use it if opponent is adapting to blocking all the f4,1 overheads.
-I dont feel knowledgeable of some FGC subjects, like terminology and stuff. So I try to stay away as to not say any mistakes, like frame data and footsies, etc. I have an idea of what Ive been calling footsies, but not sure if correct or wrong, so I left it out.
-Your note about the b3. Example of my knowledge, no idea what OS means and had to look it up. Option select; Also, I not sure if what I call OS is correct, so I didnt include it.
-About the F4 string, all really good notes and I think I put "its the only thing I use" or something like that. If its not on the video, I was thinking of putting it bcuz its true. All also bcuz of what u mentioned on your notes.
-Frame trap notes; Again, im newb
-2,1 I dont use it at all. So i left it out. I think people use it to juggle, but I only use 1. I left it out bcuz i find it useless, on its own.
-the f4 string ex ball waste of meter note. Hey man, it works. Dont nod it till u try it...or however that saying goes xD
-the klaw pounce wakeup, I did mention it being "situational"
-F4,1, F4,1 mind game note. True, which is why I didnt say Its high level. At least I hope I didnt.
-The combos note; I dont know if I mentioned it on the vid but I dont bother with "optimized combos" when using reptile. I feel he doesn't need them bcuz he already doesnt do big damage. Since he doesnt make big damage, I feel he makes up for it with all his tools and I like to think I take advantage of his tools and it works.
-Vortex Note; Again. Me newb
-the 1 anti air; I mean...it works xDD I idk what to say other than it works for me. unless you
need footage or something.
-The f4 string into ex ball note; Again I didnt say its high level. Also, It wouldnt whiff with a tech roll, or back dash, or even tech roll into backdash wakeup. Thats why I put you run in after the ex ball, you f4 or f2 at the normals' range. Idk if that makes sense, sorry. but yeah, no whiff
-About Nimble being the best; mm nahhh. I still havent been convinced. I believe that the whole deal with nimble being big combo potential is not guaranteed. Its unrealistic to do full basilisk timer combos bcuz of the portion of the timer you use to get in. Again, only my opinion and havent seen it done. I need that proof of it being done consistently/successfully, or the basilisk combo videos are irrelevant.
-Corpse hop; im lost there. No idea what you mean
-Nah, ex klaw is there. but yea, I wasnt big on using ex klaw when making the guide. which is why i didnt elaborate on it how I shouldve. But soon after I finshed this I starting using more, and yaass its so good. Just a missed opportunity I had there.
Thanks again, man! Glad people like you are around. Helps me reflect/revise and learn a lot.
The pressure stuff is hilarious, watching someone decide how to get through a force ball while you're turning invis/basilisk in their face is too fun. Especially when they eat it and I convert 27% (Yay for hopefully soon damage buffs) for one hit and then do it again. I just gotta get used to closing distance with his dash and some of the more complex shit down and I'd be solid.
