Considering Reptile combos are far more timing oriented than others (IE you have to wait for visual cues more than others), doing these online make them even harder.
To me, this almost invalidates using Nimble online, even though his Nimble combos are so fun! (7 Tongue Slap corner combo anyone?
)
Seeing all this, it makes me think Noxious it the preferred online variation. With all the teleport spamming and zoning that happens, Deception would just get interrupted, plus how do you do combos while invisible without visual cues?
Anyway, Noxious adds damage to everything, so you don't have to try as hard. Getting them in the corner with some EX acid puddle while fumigating and a strong poke game? May be cheesy as hell, but it seems far more preferable than dropping a combo in Nimble then getting hit for free.
