Also, it doesn't have to be actually "on the screen". It can be past your opponent and not visible past the edge of the screen but still active and cause this to happen. The animation looks like you tried to go invisible and failed and it's confusing because you can't see that the ball stopped. Happened to me a couple times today
I guess that's the side effect of Floating Ball being DD + Block instead of FDB.
What do you mean by actual BnBs? Are you saying that you'd like easier ones than the ones in the combo thread?
If they're respecting your f4 string you need to mix them up. Start going for either throws or b3/b2 in situations where you normally go for f4. You can also try f4~slide, f412~pounce, and f412~slide to mix things up. Those are unsafe and more gimmicky though.
B2 is an option I always forget about so il try to use that a bit more after the ex invisible.
Reptile has setups off of regular claw now that lets you forceball safely. Anytime you can end a juggle with claw at a high point, you should be able to forceball, and Sub can't slide it. That matchup in general is one where forceballs in neutral are extremely difficult to do generally.
I've only just moved from Noxious to Deceptive so I'm not to sure of the does & donts just yet apart from don't do FB within sliding distance. Cheers for the advice, I think I'd win a hell of alot more Vs my mate if they hadn't have giving SZ a massive buff.
Sub in general just gives Reptile issues. It's not a Sub getting buffed thing, it's just a clash in character design...it's amplified if the Sub uses GM, too.
I could risk abit more before the buff knowing that Sub couldn't hurt me to badly, now I have to adjust & not be so reckless or I'll eat a 48% combo.
No because you'll stop the ball instead. And whats the point just block lol
Ahrite forgot about the ball stopping. The point is tho that you throw the FB out Sub will slide under it & either hit you or it will put him right infront of you.
I think you can block it now. If not then just finish with a slide, then do the corpse hop or back away and start your zoning game.
Yeah I can block it offline, online makes me not want to fire out a FB at all after a combo, I get hit with it everytime. I've started dashing after the combo now & then block low to try & bait it. Just learning Reptile so I'll take a while.
But frame data is the same offline or online, why would you get hit out of it online and not offline?
Lag wipes its arse with frame data unfortunatley.
Right but in that specific situation it doesn't really matter. But yeah just stick to slide.
Are you a proper player? ie, tourny player?
Do you have any footage of playing as Reptile?? I'd really like to see how he is meant to be played at a high level?I am a proper player yes
??
