Best combo enders vs the cast

[Temjiin]

Reptile is arguably the most versatile character and has a great array of situational combo enders which each serve a purpose, however there are some characters in the cast that you absolutely should not use some combo enders on at all.

Thought it might be a good idea for us all to compile a guide on which are the best ways to end combos vs the cast.

Enders:
Reset - 2 f3 1+2 - to continue pressure up close.
Slow forceball - 3 2 1 slow ball - to bait a wakeup/ stay full screen and zone with advantage/ dash for pressure.
Slide - 3 2 1 slide - for maximum damage, leaves you within dash range.
Invisibility - 3 2 1 invis - to bait a wake up or confuse opponent.
Dash crossover - 3 2 dash jip - to continue pressure unexpectedly.

Below are in my opinions the best to use mid screen vs the cast:

Baraka - All
Cyber Sub - All
Cyrax - All
Ermac - All
Freddy -Reset, Slide, Dash
Jade - Reset, Slide, Invis, Dash
Jax - Forceball, Slide, Invis
Johnny Cage - Forceball, Invis
Kabal - Forceball, Invis
Kano - Reset, Forceball, Invis, Slide
Kenshi - Reset, Slide, Invis, Dash
Kitana - All
Kung Lao - Forceball, Slide, Invis
Liu Kang - All
Mileena - Reset, Slide, Invis
Nightwolf - Reset, Slide, Invis
Noob - All
Quan Chi - All
Raiden - Reset, Slide, Invis
Rain - All
Reptile - All
Scorpion - All
Sektor - Reset, Slide, Invis, Dash
Shang Tsung - Reset, Slide, Invis, Dash
Sheeva - All
Sindel - Reset, Slide, Invis, Dash
Skarlet - All
Smoke - Reset, Slide, Invis, Dash
Sonya - Forceball, Invis, Dash
Stryker - All
Sub Zero - Slide, Invis, Forceball


Can the top Reptile players give some feedback?

Im picking up Reptile, and he is not an easy fighter to learn with Sonya. They are so diffrent.

What if they don't respect the "reset"?

Respect? They have no choice haha...either eat the 7% or be left stand at disadvantage.

Well it scales. I meant if they didn't block the last hit.

This is vs the character, not the player.

I don't understand either of these posts. No matter what happens in the reset situation, reptile comes out ahead. 7% unscaled damage or standing with advantage.

This is vs the character, not the player.

I think 23+4 may have potential as a far knockdown option if you want an opponent full screen.

2 3+4 is kinda hard to do at the end of a full combo unfortunately, most times 3+4 will whiff because the animation takes to long but its hella flashy lol

Why would you not do slow force ball vs Freddy, Sektor, Shand and Sindel?

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

wow am I the only one that didn't know that 2 3+4 was a thing

I think 23+4 may have potential as a far knockdown option if you want an opponent full screen.

It's hard to see that when gravity gets factored in...I don't see him knocking foes past jumping distance which 3,2,1 could already.

 

[Seapeople]

So is there any reason to 321 instead of splat unless you're going for full damage with a slide, or the ghetto reset?

 

[Temjiin]

Why would you not do slow force ball vs Freddy, Sektor, Shand and Sindel?

I haven't played this game for 5 months so I might be wrong, but can't he wake up with EX spikes to beat a follow up dash after 321 slow ball?

 

[Seapeople]

Here's the combo enders I personally use vs the cast. My list is incomplete for now but I'll try to update it later.
A character's wakeup options can change based on the gravity of a combo, so here are the bnbs I use before any combo ender...

Midscreen:
jip 321~elbow dash, NJP, 32~fastball
jip 122~fastball, NJP, 32~slowball
Wall:
jip 321~elbow dash, NJP, 4~fast ball, 321~slowball
jip 1221, f2b1, 321~fastball

Spoiler

Midscreen combo enders: Splat, 321, Reset, Reverse uppercut
Wall combo enders: Reset, Corner escape, Splat invisibility, Splat OTGs
Ending combos with a slide or shenanigans applies to all characters.

Each character's combo enders are listed in order of usefulness. If any combo ender
isn't listed for a character it doesn't mean the ender can't be used. It just isn't
quite as effective.
