Option 2: Block and Punish With Full Combo

2. These Strategies are for The General Wake Up Options that the cast has and Keep in mind that Certain Characters like Kabal can Wake Up EX-NDC into another special move like Buzz Saws.
3. Opponent can jump out of slow ball follow ups so try to mix up between sending out another projectile and elbow dashing in to catch them with a combo while they are jumping over the force ball.

Reptile Player has to adjust to if an opponent is going to Tech Roll and Wake up or Just Wake up
2. (If Opponent Tech Rolls and Wake Up Attacks The Reptile Player must Elbow Dash then Block, If Opponent Just Wake Up Attacks The Reptile Player Must Just Block After going Invisible)
*Although Sometime Opponent will wake up facing the wrong way making Reptile safe and the player can Punish with an Elbow Dash.
