Either way it ends up being the same thing basically because the 1+2 is what does the reset. And from using it a bit online it seems like it's not a huge deal. The worst that can happen to the opponent is they take the unscaled 7% but in that case I think the combo ends up doing the same amount as the normal bnb. I think what it's going to boil down to is if there are useful options for when they don't block it. If there's not much to do after they get hit by it, then I don't think it'll be useful unless the opponent screws up and blocks midstring.
I really don't think it's going to be used often. I've done it a couple times but there's nothing that really makes it that great. Chances are the Reptile won't even pull it off since the opponent dictates whether they get the reset or if they want to take the damage
True, but in the hands of a high level player like chris G, jeezuz christo id shit my ass LOL
Well like I said it almost completely relies on what the opponent decides to do. If you just sit there and take the damage it won't be much different from ending with 3, 2, 1 then slow ball for pressure. If they choose to block for whatever reason, then yes in the corner they might get stuck there but I don't know why someone would want to do that. This reset is nothing on the level of Cage or Cyrax, it's more of an option rather than something you will really be focusing on.
into Acid Hand or :en Acid hand is a good enough reason for me to use the ''reset''.
I mainly use the F3-1+2. The reason is simple. F3 is a 15 frame attack, which is faster than most sweeps in the game and if the f3 is blocked the 1+2 will not come out. Because the 1+2 does not come out on block or wiff it makes it very difficult to punish this unless that character has a fast advancing special.
