Question What do you guys think about the X-Ray reset?

[The Green Machine]

I find it pretty useful, and a great way to punish projectiles. It (as far as i know) provides free pressure after a 33% combo, and mixup possibility or a full combo. I've never seen anyone really use it though. So what do you guys think?

If you don't know what it is, here's a video of it.

I think a wake up attack blows up your mixup/reset...

 

[The Green Machine]

Hmm, i wasn't sure if they'd have time to do it. I'll go check.

 

[A F0xy Grampa]

UsedForGlue does it, F2 is gauranteed right?

 

[Seapeople]

f2~acid hand is probably the best option and it can't be escaped. Imo Reptile's Xray is only worth using to end the round or bring your opponent down to barely any health. He needs the meter for breaker and other stuff.

 

[The Green Machine]

Yeah, i just tested some and it stuffs wake up attacks. (tested with Kabal and JC).

It's pretty nifty. I'm a mid level player so games aren't as serious for me and i can afford to take chances where tourney players may not. It seems like a pretty cool set up though, to be able to punish consistently and get guaranteed block pressure afterwards, or a full combo punish.

I do F2 xx Forceball to see if I can catch people offguard

but really I RARELY use Xray since his EN moves are so good

 

[Salad Petresky]

f2 invin is gimmicky, you are at -6 or -7. Considering how slow reptile's normals are, its not really a good idea to do so.

 

[The Green Machine]

Hmm, thanks for the opinions everyone

THE GUY IN THE VIDEO IS going places with that attitude.

d4 xx hand is the best option vs people who know about it and know about Reptile in general. f2 xx hand sucks when the opponent knows about the gap.

Kung Lao can spin the gap, I know that much. So there is at least a 6 frame gap

 

[bloodsport]

imo reptile is better off saving his meter for breakers and ex fbs, or even ex slide, but this has its uses i suppose. the more you know

That's what toast boosts are for! Dfb3

You guys need to quit being imposters talking so much trash and pretending to be me. I have already exposed every Reptile player online which clearly speaks for itself. Get a life. You people on TYM are so one dimesional and never think outside the box. I have discovered new mixups and amazing tech for Reptile that will confuse and frustrate your opponent more than ever.
I shouldn't even tell you guys about this tech because all you'll do is criticize it and not appreciate my posts. Keep in mind I've had success with this tech online against many "high level" players.

Just wanted to say i'm not the guy in the video, btw, so you can't blow me up with that muffinmuggers swag.

 

[InFlames]

Wait... F2 isn't an overhead? WTF

 

[The Green Machine]

F1? I assume you mean F2?

It's weird, it is when it's in the string 122 but not when it's just F2.

Oh thank god. *hugs*

 

[The Green Machine]

I probably should have mentioned it or at least given credits to the guy. *hugs back*

 

[Squeaker101]

I use it, since most people don't know about it. Even if they do, chances are they don't how how to deal with it. (I don't) I didn't know d4 picked them up, so I'll probably use that now.

*hugs* ;_;

 

[Cossner]

Unless it warranties you the win, there really is no point in using an x-ray...
