Lol talks been heavy bro!
fair enough. But I must say I agree with joker in that dash isn't a poke because of the things he said. Crazy punishable, pushback off of some pokes on block make dash more than 6 frames. Plus have you ever tried to duck block a poke, stand up and input dash fast enough for it to connect? Tough.
its not tough if you're literally inputing bf or dbf after every blocked move.
take it from players that have mained reptile siince day one.. youre not going to be punishing d3s with dash... might do it a some times but guarantee wont do it consistentlyand they'll still get punished for it
thats my point. 2 frame window is still a doable window.
CLEARLY i'm not going to 100% punish every poke i block..... duh
I'm also not saying "herp derp, replace d1 with ED"
To me... a top player would make every opponent FEAR using pokes because thats 11% + 2% chip or reptile dashing around like a nutcase.
I don't think i've even USED d3 or d1 with Reptile ever. Just d4 to start stuff... and Dash to punish counterpokes.
Maybe I am wrong.
Like I said... i'm just trying to hash out this mindset I have while I use him.
In the grand scheme of things..... it wouldn't matter... because some characters have to use d3 and d1 no matter what.... so yeah.
Tip #1 don't let him get a fan on screen. After she gets huckong fans its tough to knock.her down with using meter in my experience.
b1ggle
Just dash and everything will be fine.
Lol according to everyone that seems to be the solution.
Shang isn't an easy MU, it's hard to trade projectiles and he can rush you down for free. It seems like the whole match revolves around you guessing whether or not he is going to block dash after a ground skull or just f4 again. If you are losing to Sheeva and Jade though the best advice I could give is just play solid. There isn't any need to do resets or invisibility or anything like the on these characters. Just play good ole Reptile and you will prevail. Also, if Sheeva telestomps hit you playing Reptile, unless you are in the corner where it can get kind of tricky, then I agree you are free.
Lol no its not the tele stomp that gets me, i feel I need to be in the bitches face in the game, but i always get lost in her 212b1 grab pressure lol or whatever string.
Just duck that grab pressure, otherwise you will be eating chip all day because it's like +12 on block or something like that. For Jade you really don't have to stray far from day 1 Reptile to beat her ass.
Haha wow no wonder i lose free then :/
You can dash and whiff punish staff overhead on reaction with dash for free, so yeah be aware of that lol.
Can you full combo? I dash slide usually lol
I've honestly never tried so I'm not sure. I just went with the safe bet.
Hmm..new tech? Ha
The major one was I think Shang is 4-6 now. After discussing it with Cowboy (which during after said discussion I felt like I was ok with calling it 5-5) and thinking it over I just feel like overall when the only positive aspect of the match is that if you guess right with a dash out of pressure, I'm not so sure anymore. I'm still really on the fence about that though and would really like to get more sets in with WoundCowboy to just try and tweak my game for that particular MU. He is going to laugh at me for this post I know it but he just bodied me every time we got casuals in. I don't think I took a game off of him.
I can see Mileena being 5-5 finally. I used to just freeze against her but now I'm a lot more comfortable in the MU. I can't really speak on the shang MU cause I'm not familiar at all with it though.
