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.

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 it's 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.
Acid Hand
Safe on block mid. Enhance version launches.
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
X-Ray Attack
Travels full screen and goes through projectiles.
