Match-Up Discussion - Reptile Reptile MU Chart:

[NYCj360]

@Pig Of The Hut good to see I'm not the only Reptile that thought Quan lost to Reptile.

You mustve not looked at my matchup chart -_-

 

[SaSSolino]

I only have a pocket Reptile, but Sub-Zero wins the MU and Jaqui is even in my opinion.

 

[SaSSolino]

i agree - I´d switch some stuff, but maybe that´s just my personal opinion
Losing:
Liu Kang 4-6 (possibly 4.5-5.5)
Sub zero 4-6
Quan Chi 4-6

Even:
Kotal Khan
Erron Black
Predator
Takeda
Kung Lao
Tanya
Cassie (possibly 6-4)
Shinnok
Kitana
Johnny cage
Devorah
Jax

Winning:
Sonya 6-4
Jaqui 6-4
Kano 6-4 (even in cybernetic)
Jason 6-4
Ermac 6-4
Raiden 6-4
Kenshi 6-4
Goro 6-4 (possibly 7-3)
Mileena 6-4
Scorpion 6-4
Ferra torr 6-4 (possibly)

Winning: 11
Even: 12
Losing: 3

I agree with the OP, BS wins 6-4 Reptile. he goes even with Impostor and Necro tho.

I don't really see how its even against jax to be honest. I think jax wins the match up 5.5 - 4.5 only just but he still wins. You cant stagger the mid overhead string with jax and jax blows up all claw to ex claw shenanigans. I have played a lot of good reptiles in all variations, in my opinion jax wins the match up. Plus you said you played against jupiter so maybe reptile wins against wrestler not all variations.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

I literally just had an entire weekend of cassies trying to counter pick me at nec. Everyone there pretty much agreed it was even or the other way around once we played.

Man which Cassies are these because idk about that

 

[Buiu]

I think Sub still beats Reptile.

same here buddy,

6-4 sub or even 7-3.

 

[Paul the Octopus]

What does sub do vs reptile that makes it a bad matchup? Sure he traps reptile in the corner but he does that to a huge portion of the cast. What reptile specific advantages does sub have? Asking as a reptile main who always though that was kinda even

you can spit the clone away on reaction, making the clone useless against Reptile.

Reptile can slide under his clone throw on reaction.

The worst thing against sub zero imo is his iceball, making reptiles forceballs useless....

Unless the Sub clones predictably, you have to still play around clone too much. And even without clone he still has to deal with not being able to control the neutral as well due to slide going under forceball on reaction (iceball being a hard counter to them as well), and d4 being a strong poke vs Reptile's buttons (IIRC it ducks under things like f21).

I feel like Sub takes Reptile too far out of his element and Reptile doesn't entirely have the alternatives to handle that.

Gross, magician, jer, warchild, steve.

The longest set being against gross. There was nothing that limited my offense other than being unable to claw or f412. Any games i lost he outplayed me.

Wait you had Quan as a winning one? I'm pretty sure I saw it, but I don't remember seeing that.

 

[haketh]

I really don't get how GM Sub is not a losing MU for some, Clone in this game controls space so much better than it did in MK9 and the ability throw it, shatter it, & his really grat set of normals control the pace so well.

@Pig Of The Hut Curious why you think Rep beats Goro 7-3 when Goro has good tools to handle Rep trying to rush him down & the pokes to fight Rep well especially in Dragon Fangs.

Doesn't gross and magician main Cassie? I wouldn't call that a counterpick

Reptile doesnt have a teleport, his mobility is all grounded. thus putting a clone in front of him, stops him in his tracks. His dash doesnt have armor, So u have to fight stuff the normal way vs everyone else having some time of great option to blow it up. or get around it. even a mid projectile that comes out in normal speed , makes it usefull to fight sub.

 

[llabslb]

Sub can pretty much say fuck you to every way reptile can get in.

 

[Israel]

Yup,

d4...d4...d4...CLONE, *oh im sorry sir, did i just catch u trying jump in on me, trying to get past my pokes? hold this clone sir.

@Pig Of The Hut @G4S J360 @dribirut

somebody explain the goro mu please. I must need more exp in it, I've never felt it was that bad

 

[Derptile]

Still don't see how Cybernetic doesn't win against reptile.

Your not the only one who thinks this. @bdizzle2700

Oh i know i was speaking on others

 

[NYCj360]

Ive played this match at least 100 times. If you dont lab it you will get bodied. But once you lab it you realize that the knives aren't as strong as you think. If kano tries two knives in succession you can reversal flip claw him for a clean hit or even a launcher so he has to pick and choose his knives. F21 is huge in this matchup for closing the gap as well so deceptive is a good pick. They fight each other pretty even around the entire stage, this is one of those 5-5 matchups that are heavily based on footsies and reads.

 

[EMPR_FEAR]

Jacqui is 5-5 ...

 

[Metzos]

@Metzos

@Pig Of The Hut, unless there is a fucked up hidden Reptile tech against Goro, i dont see Reptile winning against him.


P.S: #GuffBoro.
