Mortal Kombat 9/Reptile

Reptile

His home realm of Zaterra is gone, mysteriously destroyed ages ago. Reptile is the last known surviving member of his race. He has since made Outworld his home. Shao Kahn has made use of Reptile's mastery of stealth to spy on suspected traitors and slay known enemies of the empire. But the knowledge that he is the last of his kind gnaws at Reptile. He would give anything, kill anyone, if it would bring his realm back from the abyss. Self-pity fuels his aggression as he inflicts suffering and death on others.

Kombo Attacks

Carnivore Bash

Main weapon. Last 2 hits are mids so use it a lot to trick opponents. Safe on block.

,

Easy hit confirmable string. In the corner finish the string with and juggle with forceball. Safe on block.

, , +

Good mix up string and safe on block. If you connect the low it leaves you at frame advantage. So dash in and mixup again.

+ , +

Good High-mid to be used in the corner. Can juggle in the corner for some good damage. Safe on block.

Special Attacks

Elbow Dash

Fastest best punisher in the game. Use it to mix up opponents. Enhance version you can combo a slide at the end. You can use the standard elbow dash to get away without being hit. Also use it to get in front of your slow charged forceballs to fool opponents. Beware that Elbow Dashes are punishable on block.

Also when you elbow dash out of a cross up jump in attempt you will have advantage. Reptile will recover from the wiffed elbow dash before the opponent recovers from the whiffed jump in attempt.
After patch the dash recovers more slowly.

Acid Hand

Safe on block mid. Use a lot in mixup string pressure. Enhance version launches and now has armor.

Forceballs

You cannot combo 2 of the same forceball speeds in a combo. They will drop. You can use slow to fast and fast to slow in combos. Use in combos and anti-air mixup.

Spit

Fast, good for meter building. Use Forceballs and Spit to bait any jump in attempts.

Enhanced Special Attacks

Acid Stream

good anti-air

Slime Trail

Now has armor after patch.

X-Ray Attack

Travels full screen and goes through projectiles.
