Felix Reptile currently doesn't have armor on his ex-slide so I'm not sure where you're getting this from. The block animation part was from an observation by Arturo Sanchez a well known Reptile player. Lasty the 122 bnb combo does around 30-33% as of right now.He already has the armour on the EX slide. Also i'm pretty sure, infact certain that both those other patches you mentioned have already been applied as well.
It is, at least that what I've been hearing.I have no clue where the idea for these Nerfs/Buffs came from. The only problem i had with reptile was the invisible forceball glitch which i hope is gone now.
It was on the NRS tourny stream, and I am feeling you 100%, there is no need for this nerf.Source????
Arrrrg. 122 bnb nerfed???? WHY????
I really hope this nerf would be dispelled...
This is absolutely ridiculous.. if they honestly do listen to garbage players. I should just quit the game because that is absurd. Top players no the game, scrubs don't period I have been playing as reptile since day 1 got all his bnbs down and the first nerf was fine and needed, but this ? no way in hell should this be implemented on him. This is 100% aggravatingUgh. Since when was the 122 bnb broken???
Scorpion's 11 spear, njp, b2, j.3, tele, j.3, air throw does 37% damage yet you don't hear me ranting about that bnb being OP?
Gosh.....just....wow. I just wished they got nerf/buff inputs from our top players...not some scrubs complaining that they "keep getting hit by Reptile's 122 bnb".
I'm not sure if the damage nerf was warranted, but do you honestly think NRS listens to "garbage players"? They do go to tournaments too, you know. I'm sure they take notes for themselves based on what they see at the "highest level of play" from our top, aka big name, players. Hey, if garbage players dictated this game, we'd all be losing MOVES (bye bye Elbow dash) not just damage.This is absolutely ridiculous.. if they honestly do listen to garbage players.

32 cannot link to a forceball unless enhanced. in case you dont know yet, reptile has VERY SLOW normals. scorpion can outpoke reptile because rep's normals are THAT slow. people think he's fast coz they're only looking at his elbow dash; which is punishable when blocked.I'm not a reppy so someone tell me can you combo 3,2 into acid ball or no?
LOL.retic said:great. just great. they decided to castrate reptile and demote him to useless tier.
Also, this is taken into consideration. With armor on EX slide, he now has a way to get around his biggest problem. Keep out. So he's supposed to have a guaranteed way out of zoning, an extremely fast elbow dash, as well as nothing changed about his damage? Looking at it that way, maybe the damage nerf isn't a big deal.I don't know what the fuss is about. Reptile is a monster anyway. He gets in so easy you can do it with one hand. His 3,2,1 string are all not true highs so if you start going with it you can do slide/acid hand after to make your opponent guess. The fact that you can do NOTHING but block if the kick connects and hope you can block the special move before he starts running circles around you means I'm pro-damage nerf. Yes you can be "good" with any character, but since reptile has an easier time getting in on you it shouldn't matter if you have to do half of a combo extra to kill someone. I'm not a reppy so someone tell me can you combo 3,2 into acid ball or no?
I know dude, I really hope they realize what they are doing and change it back, but I doubt it.Ugh. Since when was the 122 bnb broken???

they're making the game generic as hell.The changes don't seem that bad. The only thing I ever complained about with Reptile was his damage due to his excellent forceball zoning and ability to lock you in pressure for sustained periods of time.
All Rep's wakeup attacks used to get caught in the clone when I stepped back and put one down after a knockdown. I don't know how Rep's ex slide receiving armour will affect that.
No. This is what they're noticing in some tourney from NRS.Please tell me you guys are kidding. I play on Xbox and was playing MK 2 days ago. Has the patch already come out for Xbox?
