Question - Reptile Current Reptile BNBs?

[BloodyNights]

Hello, just picked up Reptile, thanks to the let TestYourMight choose your main type deal. So I was like alright I always wanted to pick him up. Let me head over to the Reptile forums to give me a boost, Reptile mains have had the character for a while. But when I look at the forums compared to other characters it's a noxious mess, and a lot of forums are deceptive because they are not patched. So can someone help a new Reptile player get a nimble start by listing some bnbs or perhaps any tips for me to learn? Thanks guys!

I mostly wanted to use Noxious Reptile because something about ruining someones come back factor in the middle of a match entices me lol

f412, RepDash, f412~Flip

Is there any reason not to use F412>BF2, 21, F312>BF4, or just F31>BF4? I believe the flip ender deals 27%, while the ender I'm doing does 28% without the last 2 or 31% with it. Though I'll probably use F412>BF2, 21, F412>DB3 for the majority for pressure afterwards lol

 

[BloodyNights]

You're absolutely right. I have a problem consistently landing 21 after f412~bf2.
I always prefer consistency instead of damage, and it is a "me" problem

I see, lol I main Inferno Scorpion and 214>teleport, 21>DB4 is a stricter link so I consider this a piece of cake. Now letting them fall down low enough to use a full F214 into slide is another matter, so I think F21>Slide is more consistent.

Basic stuff:
f412, RepDash, f412~Flip
12/34~FFB, njp, 21, f412~Slide
b3/f3~EXFFB, njp, 21, f412~Slide
njp, 21, f412~Slide
Starter~EXKlaw, njp, 21, f412~Slide
f211+3 MB, njp, 21, f412~Slide
b2, f412~Slide
b2, f211+3 MB, f412~Slide

Corner:
f412~FFB, jump back kick, f412~Klaw
12/34~FFB, njp, jk, f412~Klaw
b3/f3~EXFFB, njp, jk, f412~Klaw
njp, jk, f412~Klaw
Starter~EXKlaw, njp, jk, f412~Klaw
f211+3 MB, f412~Klaw
b2, f412~Klaw
b2, f211+3 MB, f412~Slide

After ending most combos, you can do a RepDash to continue pressure/throw out a SFB/Invis/NoxGas.

Blockstrings: 12, 21, 2124, f41, f412, f21, b34, b2

Also, I'm sure many will disagree, but I refrain from doing f211+3 MB unless it'll kill.
Reptile is way too meter dependent and should really save it for wakeups and EXKlaw.

Is the dash after F412 supposed to whiff so I can continue with F421? Also what's Flip??

Outdated BnBs.

Here's an optimized summary:
Miscreen:
F412 xx Elbow Dash, NJP, 21, ender (Run if going for a F412 ender)
F412 xx Elbow Dash, NJP, 21, F21 1+3 MB, ender
34 xx Poison Gas, F412 into the combos above
34 xx Fastball, Slowball, NJP, 21, ender(Run for F412)
B2, F21 1+3 MB, slight walk forward, NJP, ender (if going for a F412 ender, you need to run or else some hits will whiff)
B3/F3 xx EX Swipe, NJP, 21, ender
F21 1+3 MB, NJP, 21, ender

Corner:
B2, 21, 21, ender
B2, 21, 141, F412 xx Ender
F412 xx AnyBall, slight step back, D2, F412 xx Ender
F412 xx Anyball, JB1, 21, ender
B3 xx Swipe, NJP, 21, 21, ender

The combos can be made easier by changing a few things like removing a 21 from the corner BnBs, removing NJP from the F412 midscreen BnBs so on and so forth.

They can also be made harder like replacing 21 by F41 in midscreen combos but it limits your enders to F412 enders.

Enders:
F21 1+3
F412 xx Poison Gas(corner fav)
F412 xx Slide(preferred)
F412 xx Elbow Dash
F412 xx EX Slowball

And lastly, my mindset on F21 1+3 is to MB it most if used as a combo starter because you will miss out on big damage otherwise. Using it as a combo filler in F412 is not really necessary unless it kills. The only time it should be used as a combo filler is on B2 midscreen.

But that's just me.

EDIT:
Midscreen:
B1D4 xx Fastball, NJP, 21, ender

Corner:
B1D4 xx Fastball, Slight Step Back, D2, 21, F412 xx Ender
B1 D4 xx Fastball, NJP, 21, 21, ender

Another good ender in the corner is Throw MB if you land a meterless combo such as F412

I actually came up with almost all of these when building off Sage's stuff. At least my mind set is there. Thanks! I'll work on anything I missed.

Yep, the dash will put you on the opposite side of your opponent while they're still soaring through the air, allowing you to either NJP (post patch), 21, F412, etc. etc.

Wait, so you don't use Klaw at ALL?


P.S

Oh wait, is Elbow Dash = Rep Dash and Klaw = Swipe?

I see! I'll give it a try, thank you for clearing that up appreciate it.

F412 xx Elbow Dash, NJP, 21, F21 1+3 MB, ender

How much damage do these do?

My midscreen bnb is so easy. Does 34%
F412 elbow dash F41 ex klaw F21 1+3

Also goddamit, F412 ex spit is a legit ender midscreen.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

P.S

Swipe = Klaw Swipe. There's also another move called Klaw Pounce which is why I say Swipe instead.

Also I'm just used to calling BF2 Elbow Dash because of MK9

F412 elbow dash F41 ex klaw F21 1+3

Damages range from 26% to 36%. F412 xx Slide ender always guarantees at least 31% on all combos

 

[Wam-Zlay]

b2 rc f41 claw - 19-20% (not 100% sure with the dmg)


(claw = db2)

oh lol someone posted it allready . Im too l8

I almost always use F21 1+3 b/c it lets me corpse hop easily or b34 them.

I don't like the heavy damage reduction on nearly all enders unless in the corner for the Poison Gas.7% is a lot of damage to sacrifice especially considering Reptile's options in oppening the opponent up. Will also edit my post I forgot some stuff

 

[Wam-Zlay]

didn´t know you can gas after 34, that´s awesome

Well, like I said... I don't lose 7% b/c my combo does 34% lol

But I get what you're saying. And I need to end with F412 into acid balls more than I do.

Also Slide ender grants enough advantage for a corpse hop regardless of wake-up options

I don't like using meter for combo-filler unless it kills or after a midscreen B2.

Lastly, I wouldn't recommend ending combos with Slowball unless EX. There is nothing to gain from it

So what do you do after Slowball EX?

 

[KuRupT1]

Corner:

34xxpoison gas, f412, elbow dash (whiff), 141, f412xxslide %40 meterless

Mid screen:

b1d4xxFB, njp, f41, f412xxslide %35 meterless- i like this one because no run cancel needed, which helps online.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

So what do you do after Slowball EX?

Regular Reptile stuff but now with the threat of EX Slowball backing you up.

F412 xx AnyBall, slight step back, D2, F412 xx Ender
F412 xx Anyball, JB1, 21, ender
B3 xx Swipe, NJP, 21, 21, ender

you should probably add something about dash combo ending in the corner so
f412 bf2,141, d1, d1, f412 bf4 is good meterless

I find b2 21 141, f412 super inconsistent and weird to time as well, so I typically do b2, 141, d1 x2, f412 slide for 1 or 2 percent less, but that's just me.

another good corner combo where I think meter is somewhat worth it is b2, 21, f41 ex fastball, d2, f412 slide for 40% if you wanted to finish off a round or whatever.

When I have my ex slow ball for safety blanket is like the only time I use 2124 for any pressure lol
