Match-up Discussion Reptile Matchup Discussion Thread

Yeah that's what I'm saying its really hard and inconsistent but I've been told otherwise lol.

Yeah, Pig is crazy if he expects us to that for every EX tele.

 

[Darkhood88]

Hey guys please add darkhood_88 I would like to get in some reptile practice

 

[THTB]

The punishment I'd get for that isn't even worth it, tbh. I'd just take the pressure opportunity over an unreliable punish.

Okay...so Reptile vs. CSZ is 5-5

I want to get some insight on how you tricky lizards handle this match-up.

I know Reptile has to be wary of the parry (lolrhyme) when dashing like a lunatic...but this match-up is so foreign to me since I am a masochist and pick Kitana against Reptile 90% of the time.

I bait dives, or dive reads with ex force ball. Also rarely dash him. I dash up close and do lots of d4 variations...acid hand, or forceball.

This match is all about footsies considering CSZ can parry dash and divekick over the forceballs.

However I think Reptile can punish Divekick with dash and d4 acid hand is really annoying for CSZ.

Yes, Reptile can get in a dash, but I THINK CSZ can parry d4xxAcid Hand. not toooo sure gotta test it out.

the cancel advantage on d4 into acid hand is +32 on hit and +26 on block, and acid hand is a 27 frame move, so it can hit.

What would Reptiles worst match up be in your opinion? RapZiLLa54 Joker8417 THTB TylerLantern and all of you other Reptile mains out there.

 

[THTB]

Sonya.

 

[Spirit Guide]

Why Sonya? That doesn't seem accurate enough of an observation to me. But then again, your the tournament player so my opinion is obsolete. So tell your reasoning behind your choice because I'm itching to know. I don't see how Sonya is his worst match-up.

 

[RapZiLLa54]

I 2nd Sonya.

Spirit Guide because dive kicks beat forceballs for full combo. Dive kick can even catch you mid dash for a full combo. She punishes dash on block very easily as well. She doesn't care about charged forceballs because she has EX cartwheel.

 

[Derptile]

Sonya or Mileena.

Alright. Thanks for the explanation. I can't disagree.

 

[THTB]

Because Reptile has trouble zoning her, as well as playing footsies or applying pressure.

Reptile's projectiles can be divekicked on reaction if done from jump distance. She really outdoes Reptile from up close as well. But he has to be close enough for her to jump his projectiles in order to reliably trade with her rings or set up forceballs. It's really hard for Reptile.

Sonya the lizard eater -_-

 

[TylerLantern]

I would say Sonya or Mileena. but more so, Sonya.

 

[Seapeople]

Yeah from my experience Sonya, Mileena & Freddy are the only matchups that could be worse than a 4.5-5.5

 

[Wemfs]

Sonya doesn't appeal to me at all. Hmmm... I guess I'll use Sub for this match up. With Sub it seems to be even.

It is, You just have to respect all of Reptile's options when pressuring, and also don't try to projectile battle from full screen.

 

[RapZiLLa54]

I'll never understand why people think Freddy is a problem for Reptile.

 

[THTB]

I'll never understand why people think Freddy is a problem for Reptile.

He's not that big of a problem, but if he gets Reptile full screen, that's when it can get difficult. Reptile has it easier than any other non-teleport character, though, in that after ground spike, he has a free dash to midscreen or closer. Also, due to dash's speed, Freddy can't 100% abuse NMS. He'll just get dashed.

I think people just need more patience lol.

 

[crosstalk]

So Reptile could possibly have only 2 bad MUs (Sonya and Mileena)?
