Reptile is a finesse fighter. You have to know how to play him to be effective with him. His Acid Spit takes off little damage but can come out very fast and often. It comes out high, which is good against jumpers. The Forceball comes out painfully slow. If the opponent gets hit with the Foreceball, they will get knocked into the air towards you, where you can combo them. An effective move is to do the Foreceball then fire the acid after it. The Slide is still a great move, good for close range fighting and at the end of a combo. Invisibility is his greatest asset, just as long as you keep your opponent guessing as to where you are. Once your are hit, even if it is a blocking hit, the invisibilty wears off. You can reappear by doing the invisibilty move again.
