pls do, MITDJT, I sometimes have issues with this MU because of Lao's mobility w/teleport and dive kick.uh i'd like to have a word with you about this mu
he's top 10, dnt care what anyone says haha and also the only bad mus he has and this is from experience: cyrax, kabal, and sonya and that is it. What ppl still fail to realize is reptile beats kenshi haha, and kenshi is top 3 in the game, so that is already something that puts him into top 10. Reptile beats freddy imo too, so he beats the two top 5 chars, how many ppl can say that about their char?
Low hitbox & air control?uh i'd like to have a word with you about this mu
I'll give you a breakdown of things that'll make this mu a whole lot easier:
i believe he does have the advantage against freddy, and those are two reasons reptile gives lao issues.Low hitbox & air control?
Btw what do you think gives Reptile the advantage against Freddy?
Kabal, Kenshi, KL, Sonya, Cyrax, Freddy, Smoke, Skarlet, Cage, Jax, (NPO)
Human Cyrax gives Reptile a run for him money though, so no way am I reading into the 2011 threads. Those old theories have been tested and proven to be wrong, which is why we got a whole new tier list. No longer do people think Shang is top tier or Jade/Kano are mid tier characters, there comes a time when people have to start going with their guts.
i'm going to say it right now Death, reptile is top 10. Me and showtime and other reptiles have proven this and reptile is one of the few chars who beats kenshi.
I wouldn't say "own" Kenshi, but yeah, he has it a lot better off than other characters.
Damn, I defintely should. I don't know it though, all of my Lao vs Reptile MU exp has come from online sadly. I've applied the little knowledge in our cage vs rep matches to the Lao MU, but I honestly don't know.uh i'd like to have a word with you about this mu
well i explained the mu in this thread, so you can check that out.
Lao's tele 2 if timed right can blow up D4 (rarely) but yeah d4 usually works. I definitely wouldn't advise using reptile's uppercut because it's not that fast and a descently timed tele 3 can blow that up for 40%. I still don't think there's anything of Lao's that reptile specifically shuts down, some of the things you named can be said for the majority of the cast. Also, reptile cant use all of his tools as effectively against Lao.
you can always d2 his tele if you anticipate it, if you dnt anticipate it, then just d4 it. Reptile shuts down standing 2 in footsies and his jumping around bcuz of reptile's d4. njp blows up cross ups and ex slow or fast orb can bait teles easily. Dash also punishes 2,4,1+2, something most chars can't punish. Don't forget low hitbox chars make his rushdown defective in ways.
raiden is just a no completely lol, and this is coming from me and I know reptile inside and have played him against some of the best mk9 players, he is 100 percent top 10. There shouldn't be any doubting this, he has alot of tools all around. I haven't even seen skarlets around top 8s, so i'm still not too sure why ppl got her top 10.
Even if you anticipate it, a Tele 3 can smack him out of the uppercut. Reptile's D4's not enough to shut down Lao's mobility. He can with Jk Dk over reptile for free. But yes he can duck Standing 2, i'm not sure if he can punish a ducked standing 2 though. Punishing 2,4 1+3 with Dash is something i've never even heard of and if that works it's huge. I can't see Reptile beating or going even with Lao. He can't zone him out or rush him down effectively. I'll look into the Mu more though.
tele isn't a problem once you learn how to deal with it. Dive kicks are irrelevant if i'm playing footsies and just waiting for them so i can just block and punish. I can d4 under all his standing and i said punish 2,4 1+2
haha. Lao's tele is super overrated, me and denzell should make a thread on how to punish it because it really isn't hard haha.
Yeah man, we're just gonna have to play this out lol. Nothing either of us can say will change much. We should play this soon, or if my next check is fat enough maybe i'll see you at NEC lol, if you're going.tele isn't a problem once you learn how to deal with it. Dive kicks are irrelevant if i'm playing footsies and just waiting for them so i can just block and punish. I can d4 under all his standing and i said punish 2,4 1+2
haha definitely bro, we'll play this match.
