Reptile Slide KB combo triggers

[Trustful_Whale]

I know it's not tournament legal, but I just learned that the Reptile KB (connect amped slide at max range) can be triggered via combo, thought I'd share.
Also works using Rain kick (s4~Slide amped, tight timing), Ermac slam (s4~Slide amped), and Ground Eruption (raw slide amped) and his launcher KB's (s4~Slide amped).

edit: so apparently not starting with a jump in does more damage, weird.

We need, and I cannot stress this enough, CUSTOM VARIATIONS!! This is sick af

Between this and all of his brutalities being locked behind non-tournament variation moves I think it might be time to make the switch to casual. Sick stuff!

While I agree that variations should be opened up, damage like this is stupid and shows that they haven’t balanced the presets let alone customs

Yeah, if not for the Kombat League's goodies I never would have played competitive. Casual is much more fun!

saw in youtube comments that NRS confirmed each character gets another tourney variation eventually, can anyone else back this up ?

This has been stated by Steph on the Kombat Kast explicitly; the game launches with 2 ranked variations, but more will be added over time. They didn't say a word as to when, so we just gotta sit tight.

Because of easy krushing blows it is possible that those combo could not work in a real match

Which is why I point out in the start of the video that easy krushing blows is set to off. It works, I've done them in matches.

You say this like baraka doesn't have a 650 damage combo.

Edit: Oh NVM misread it.

Does this only work off of 3U2 or is it possible off of 21?

It works from anything that launches, the starter doesn't matter. All that matters is max range s4 canceled into slide for the proper spacing.
Corpse Drop only combos from 3u2 (middle), b11 (close), f24 (close), and b3 (close), however.
