Sounds like you are overhyping for your favorite character. I'm yet to see what makes Reptile so good. Specially with the Nimble trait, which is so easily cancelled .
He literally can do everything. He can zone, he has great normals, 2 good armored ex moves, and good mixups. Slow down needs to be set up to be effective. You can't just throw it out ,and expect people to be scared. From what I've seen, the ex version seems to be the only one worth using. He gets instant corner carry, when it's comboed into, and in the corner he gets 45% 1 bar, and if its set up, he gets 40% off of a 50/50.
To be fair, i dont really think reptiles game revolves around the forceballs, i ussely just knock them up with all his other tools and follow up with forward 1,2,2+3 and ex it for higher damage if needed,
This. And this isn't including the fact that basilisk essentially grants approximately 5 more frames of advantage for everything, and has some hilariously armor-break setups.
Whenever you hit f412 EX slomo, the window to hit them with a regular slide before they hit the ground is pretty tight
*steve ritchie voice* Outstanding
Reptile's zoning was honestly never anything special. In Mortal Kombat 9 and the 3D games at least.
Reptile, in general, seems like a very strong character to me. He has one of best punishing move in the game, very good footsies, and probably the fastest overhead in the game. I guess the only bad thing is that b+3 xx EX slash is punishable. Good players will eventually catch on and start punishing it on block very time.
He had very good zoning. Just because he didn't have Freddy esque zoning doesn't mean it wasn't good. One of the few characters that made kabal come to him
Not even true...
I think he's referring to the window of canceling F412 ~ nimble into slide.
Can you explain more in depth? I haven't been able to play much so I only know the basic shit with Reptile right now. What's the optimal corner combo for slow and what do you mean 40 percent off of 50/50?
