You actually might be right. I may have judged him too quickly to be honest.
Well, Reptile is probably one of if not the most online unfriendly character. If the netcode was better maybe, I don't even bother using him online, the struggle is real.
Agreed. We should have a single thread compiling at the very least his BnB's, with the more flashy stuff as icing on the cake. If nobody wants to make a compiled thread of combos, I'll do it. If videos are included, they should be in click to show tags so things are organized.Is there a particular reason the Reptile community doesn't want to work together? We have like 5+ different combo threads just so wannabe e-celebs can get their name out there. Most other characters have either 1 combo thread or 3 variation specific combo threads. We have all these different "Random dude's X% reptile combos" threads instead. Even when this issue is brought to their attention they continue to only bump their own thread.
There is already a main combo thread made by @MK_GDROM though, the issue seems to stem from the fact that certain people feel they are special/important enough that their combos/tech deserves its own thread. I'm all for people wanting to be community leaders but when everyone is a chief and there are no indians, we end up with a clusterfuck of a sub-forum.
I've asked a few people to let me curate the subforum but I get no answer.Is there a particular reason the Reptile community doesn't want to work together?

I kind of take responsibility for this, I did the combo thread for Mk9 Reptile and for Batman in IGAU but I just don't care enough anymore....
How do you break armor with b3, 4 ? Is it just a timing thing? I'm having some issues with setting up nimble against SubZero because the slide gets me all the time, and it goes under forceball too. I am starting to use Nimble a bit more over Noxious and it seems fun to play but I crai evertim I get hit out of it.
I've been working on setups to deal with those. What do you think of this?
So I had an interesting though.. Can reptile consistently break armored wake ups with any fast hitting moves while in ballistic? If he can imo this would make the character much better
Did you mean to reply to me? Anyways, one way to break armor moves is to hit them twice during their start up frames. So depending on the wakeup, he can consistently break some armor moves with let's say just a string. Well this may work on moves with alot startup, it's hard to do on fast wakeup moves like Tempest Kung Lao's EX Spin which has 4 frames of start up. Thats why I have been looking at setups that meaty with a normal and a forceball, they just work universally well against most of the cast. Additionally you can break armor moves by hitting them twice anytime during their start up or active frame provided they dont hit you. Then again I had a setup that would meaty with a forceball and elbow dash that would trade for a full combo with some wakeup moves. But this second method is harder to implement because you have look at each wakeup individually. Also this doesnt work on Xrays or some other wakeup moves, like maybe Ferra/Torr's idk.
Depends heavily on the wakeup. 12, 14, and f41 are your go-to armor breakers. b34 works in a couple cases.
