So I thought they were patching his dash attack. He barely has a window after I block it and he can keep using it over and over again. The lag online doesn't help neither and I want to pound this dude in the ground because he thinks he's the shit.
 
Jumping gives yourself invulnerability towards it, if anything try using a special that's fast, percicesly after dodging it, air+teleport also gets the trick done, assuming the spammy Reptile players don't use elbow dash to punish.
You can practice with my Reptile if you want :D, either me playing for reals, or testing out elbow dash until you know how to better punish/counter it.

Oh that'd be great. Reptile spammers give me so much trouble >.< I get so angry with him. Every reptile I have played uses the same tactic. The dash and the same kick punch forceball repeat then into slide lol
 
Reptiles dash is like a run if u use him right so wen I face him and they overuse tha dash I just duck and hit 4 twice to get him up off of me then wen he realizes his tatic isn't workin the spam will stop eventually
 
do you have the patch? there is a very large window to punish him now, but only if you block the dash, if he just uses it to close space without hitting you its still very fast recovery. Ive been punished plenty for not gauging the distance correctly and getting elbow dash blocked isntead of just closing space.

admittedly i dont like using elbow dash to attack that much, i just love it for mobility.

edit: but ya the moment your feet are off the ground the dash will whiff.
 
I totally understand it's use for mobolity. He's really slow with his attacks and movement. Granted, crap like that makes me wish they had a special meter bar like they did in MK3 where you can only use a certain amount of special moves at one time. Grr I hate stuff like that. He totally snuffed my Sindel
 
i dont know how it is for all fireballs but say ermacs. if i block it then immediatly (and i do mean IMEDIATLY) elbow dash to close space, i can block before the next one hits me. im fine for it being hella punishable on block, but outside of block i think a high recovery time would hurt him quite a lot.

i mean, if nrs did it id live with it, make it work, but id be quite sad lol
 
mileena's my main, so i dunno if the tactic works with everyone else, but: her low poke (d4?) usually disrupts the dash. 'course yer gotta know when reptile is about to dash.
