Wouldn't you find it easier to fight scorpion, a character with full screen presence and long combos, with noxious? He strips away the random activation factor of nimble and can pretty interrupt almost any setup since you can't block while its activated. At least with noxious you can do some percent damage while blocking and make some of your combos do that 1-2% extra that you might need eventually to close out a round. I think nimble isn't too good against teleporters, so i would rather go with noxious.Unexplored for sure but nimble will likely be the endgame variation Imo.
None of his variations change enough to uss different ones for different matchups imo.
Knockdown options may be matchup dependant, what if you run up to them at a space where your normals reach and just wait lol. Invisibility usually causes panic, once someone is conditioned you can start to mix it up by actually swinging.So the obvious use of deceptive would be to end a combo in the EX version of invis and then running up and attempting to do an invis 50/50. However, armor exists so uh idk pretty useless imo
He has one of the better walk speeds in the game whatI tried. I hoped, and I wished. But reptile just isn't going to cut it as my number 1. I still have fun with him. But he seems so much more clunky and slow than the other characters in the game. Cassie feels real niiiiiiice however...
I didn't say he "walked slow" I said he felt slow.He has one of the better walk speeds in the game what
I didn't say he "walked slow" I said he felt slow.
How, he is literally faster than he is in MK9 in all ways but the Elbow Dash & has plenty of new mobility tools to make up for that.I didn't say he "walked slow" I said he felt slow.
God dude, I said he feels that way "compared to the rest of the cast". For fucks sake dude. I understand that a lot of his normals are faster than mk9, so what, he doesn't feel the same speed as characters like cassie and lao. What the hell are you digging for here?How, he is literally faster than he is in MK9 in all ways but the Elbow Dash & has plenty of new mobility tools to make up for that.
On the topic of Deceptive, poeple keep saying Armored Wake Ups & Teleports make it not that viabe but you can still block & you can still move during invis. You can bait these things out & either avoid a wakeup or TP & punish plus keep invis or block it, break invis, & get a punish out of it.
It's not the extra damage that's important about Nimble. The corner carry is the real BS part about using it in combos. Also, vs certain characters, you can blow up armor moves in the corner into 40% combos on oki activations. I agree though, the meterless version has no use, and honestly, Noxious's biggest strength is the lack of meter usage to get viable usage out of it.I personally feel Nimble is useless in its current form. In most cases you have to waste a bar to get slightly more damage than normal BNBs and I find my opponent is more than happy to use a bar to knock me out of it since we can't block. You'd figure once they took away the ability to block they would buff its start up frames or give him advantage on block with it....
Noxious imo is the best and most useful since it makes Reptile pack more of a punch and have safe setups with the Stink. I am really disappointed that he seems to be the only character in the game that doesn't actually have different variations. I was really hoping at least one of the variations would make his zoning better since forceball no longer can be used as an anti air like it was in MK9 and has worse start up and recovery, even on EX ball.
Still wish they would allow you to stop the forceball with a bar of meter as soon as it leaves his hand like you could originally, that option and move is also useless now since you have to wait for him to recover.
It's very miniscule. I don't think it's big enough to sway any matchups. Just my opinion though.Wouldn't you find it easier to fight scorpion, a character with full screen presence and long combos, with noxious? He strips away the random activation factor of nimble and can pretty interrupt almost any setup since you can't block while its activated. At least with noxious you can do some percent damage while blocking and make some of your combos do that 1-2% extra that you might need eventually to close out a round. I think nimble isn't too good against teleporters, so i would rather go with noxious.
Corner combo into slo-moCan you explain more in depth? I haven't been able to play much so I only know the basic shit with Reptile right now. What's the optimal corner combo for slow and what do you mean 40 percent off of 50/50?
pls halp
Also MKX reptile is far superior to MK9 reptile I'm surprised anyone thinks the opposite.
