I guess. Noxious really doesn't offer him any toolscool little thing i hadn't realized, but still think the variation is kinda pointless haha. imo deceptive is without a doubt the best variation, not even close..
nimble is mostly gimmicks
This is news to me lol.Yeah its well known but only useful in matchups like liu kang
It's day 2 stuff for our hyper super secret Noxious Discord no-girls-allowed tech society country club XL playa. It doesn't amount to much over the course of a round, but block-based pressure characters have a hell of a time coming back if they don't find an opening late in a match.This is news to me lol.
What does it have to do with block based pressure if it only applies on hit?

Teleport and EX teleport. He doesn't give a shit about forceball and spit as he can buzz around the screen on reaction and maul you for even trying to start your game, his projectile also trades pretty well with Reptiles. His 50/50's now being made safe by shocker and his amazing safe armour means he has to take virtually no risk against Reptile. You pretty much have to block for the entire matchup, guess right pretty much everytime and seize any opening to get damage, problem being, as soon as he knocks Displacer down, EX teleport comes into the equation and it's Raidens turn all over again, until you guess right or die.Can you guys elaborate how Displacer noticeably shuts down Reptile?
Yes he does. Unfair, right He doesn't have a great pressure (compare to characters like Lao, Cassie, RCs characters and some others) yet he has gaps on his good moves INJUSTICE Kappa TwoReptile has gaps?
Me? I never said sektor was a 5-5. It is a 7-3. Yes he has gaps : Example 141 which is +2 and interesting because of the pushback has a gap. One of his best strings F21 has a gap if you end it in order to make it safe, Claw or pounce. Everything into forceballs have gaps but that is quite normal. He also has a gap on 2124 which is really bad so the character itself doesn't have a good pressure indeed, a good zoning tho. So he gets destroyed by every TP characters or low profiling zoners (kinda) with a good close pressure. IMO Reptile is meant to play on reactions because he has a lot of tools so you can just wait your opponent to do do something but vs Sektors, Ermac and so on you can't just get in like that. You need to play smart and unfortunately most of the time you have to spend a bar to guarantee your turn.what gaps? only one i know is b1d4*forceball. I still dont get why Sektor is 5-5 he can punish his zoning as hard as Displacer and zone him well which Displacer cant do, besides Sektor has much better mids.
yeah. it is still very difficult. I would say 6.5-3.5 but i guess its not allowedI think the spit buffs and double hitting armor on slide makes him only lose to Sub-Zero 4-6.
D2what do u anti air with

D1 is decent for crossups. But yeah, majority of the time, D2.
Guys, can you seriously tell me where Reptile struggles vs Sub? (I'll guess you'll tell me "in the corner" but he has almost more options than the rest of the cast, especially with the interactables on the map. One low armor, one oh armor, tongue going through the klone, slime ball that can get out and hit an advancing move or break the klone).yeah. it is still very difficult. I would say 6.5-3.5 but i guess its not allowed
The match wasn't amazing prepatch but the safe OH armour is a blessing. At the absolute worst I'd say 6-4 Sub but I think it's more of a 5-5.Guys, can you seriously tell me where Reptile struggles vs Sub?

his jik jails into f4? didnt know that, is it his ji4?Reptile gets completely abuses by jump ins. And since at most ranges shinnoks ji k jails into his f4, he is a huge problem
