Reptile's MKDA form rules. Anyone who tells you otherwise is irrelevant.

'course, I'm a Liu Kang fan, so my opinion is questionable at best.

it's just that he could have looked way cooler. now he looks like he's just a stupid animal, not a skillful ninja... his mk4 form was the best.

I thought his costume was the best one yet,but i didnt like the idea of him being an animal.

I liked his MK4 version the best too.
When I saw the DA Reptile I was like, "WOW!! He looks freakin' awesome!" But now, he just seems too reptilian to me... I think they made his transition to that form too quickly. Maybe he should have had a form between the MK4 and DA version (that we have now) to use in that game. But they might have done this to suite the Drakon King story.
I liked the MK4 Reptile, because his mask was only part mask and the rest of it was his face. It made it look like his mask from Mortal Kombat the movie.

That's the best Reptile form yet, ways better than in MK 4. I liked the Ninja Reptile but there were a lot of ninjas in MK already so I didn't mind Reptile changed into this. Even like him better in MK Deception where he's the Dragon King.

I'm a Liu Kang fan too

Sorry, double post.

I like his form! A lot :) Cooler to hav a Reptile rather than 3 ninjas, too bad he isn ́t in deceptiom, he was my mkda fav char.

Yeah I liked his MK4 form better too.. he just reminds me to much of a frog now :\

I like his lizard form, there was too much ninjas in MK universe then I was satisfied that one of them gains in originality...

His MK2 form was best, I think he looks stupid as an animal, it's too over the top.

in the beginning i thought his new form was really cool, but now i don't see the ninja in this character. like no realation to the previous MK's. Like they changed Sub-zero's image, they should of done reptile. but again.. i'm a fan of him so i don't mind in the end.. but what does piss me off, is why doesn't reptile Disappear? and also why doesn't Scorpion teleport... the 2 most dissapointing things about the game to me.

I disagree with the idea that Reptile's MKDA form was "too animalistic" or "too reptillian." What I think was the problem with his MKDA look was that he was a slapping-together of reptillian and human parts. To me he looked like a cheesy sci-fi creature, like a guy in a suit.

See, there are serious anatomical differences between humans and reptiles, and between humans and dinosaurs (I mention reptiles and dinosaurs separately because meat-eating dinosaurs are really more sililar to birds in terms of skeletal anatomy). Reptile, however, is anatomically a human with a lizard head, scales, spikes, claws, and a tail. The biggest anatomical differences lie in the bones of the legs and hips. Also, I would imagine the muscular structure of the torso would not nearly so closely resemble that of a man's as Reptile's does. Another thing that bothered me was the tail. It was to limp, flat, and lifeless.

Beyond my anatomical gripes, I also thought his costumes (both default and alternate) severely sucked. I'd have merely given him metal wrist guards and a ninja belt. MAYBE the ninja vest, but lose the shoulder pads.

I don't like the new Reptile not just because it looks kind of goofy, but because I've been playing MK since the beginning and I still don't know where the part of Reptile "evolving" came from! Just all the sudden BAM! MK4 rolls around and Reptile looks like he's eaten at one too many Taco Bells.

See I'm a HUGE fan of story line and charactor depth. I like the fact that my charactor has a history, has a purpose...unlike Soul Caliber games where these charactor really don't even need names!

But yeah even if the story line for Reptile changing was he started "evolving" thats a pretty sorry story.

If no one has figured it out by now I am a fan of the classics.
I remember a day when Retile was human.
I remember a day when people prayed that they didn't get 2 Flawless Victories and a stage Fatality just so they wouldn't have to SEE him.
I remember a day when Reptile made Sub-Zero and Scorpion look like ninja Trick or Treaters.
And I remember a day when my friends would restrict me from using him.

See what made Reptile great was that whether he was a combination of Sub-Zero and Scorpion like MK or he could tag you while being invisible like MK2, he is a force to be feared.

The only difference now is that people laugh at how stupid he looks while I'm kicking the crap out of them.

i think that MK:DA reptile form is crap, the ninja reptile was by far the best, the lizard form just makes his name sound realy un-original and he has shit moves.

This new Reptile isn't anything like the Reptile I've grown to love. This Reptile should've been a totally new character, because now he looks like a joke. I even hated his MK4 form aswell, as the "Evolution" came straight out of nowhere, and when I first saw him, I remember saying "What the fuck?!" His ninja form was his best, as he was silent, mysterious, and would be dangerous. I took him as a threat becuase fighting him was like a fight for your life. Kill, or be killed. Now, you just look at him and laugh at seeing a Dinosaur Jubjub incarnated to a game.

Hell, when you completed a Test of Strength with him, he would do poses...POSES! This wasn't the sly assassion that I knew. This was a joke.

I just hope they bring him back to his former glory, and thatst he green ninja outfit.

Reptile was one of the original ninjas with the masked costume. Yes there are a lot of ninjas but he should have not been the one to lose that costume, they should have scraped niinja smoke n maybe ermac (although he is cool). He is a lizard cartoonish dumbass. He is extremely skilled and the his masked outfit was to hide his real self underneath until a fatality. Now he just is a lizard crab walking to eat someone's face.

However, recognizing that Boon is both more creative and more successful than me, I will say this about the creation.

lol.....the Crab mode is freaking awesome!

Reptile in MK2 was the weakest character in the game. In MKDA he's easily top tier. It's in MKDA where fighting Reptile is REALLY a fight for your life.

What the fuck? EVERYONE did "poses" in Test your Might.

Like I said, Reptile has always been a force to be feared, but now I can only laugh at him while he's kicking the crap out of me.

reptile is turned into a totally different character.. hes slow as hell in mkda. i thought he was a ninja?.. what happened to the sealthy appearance?.. hes this huge damn lizard now! what happened to his invisablity? orbs? ninja slide?.. and did kano teach him that "lizard roll?".. total shit if you ask me.. bring back the real reptile and not this 'killer instinct' character!!

Slow? Are you serious? Maybe its me, but Moloch never recieved a quicker ass kicking when I use Reptile.

yeah, i agree with you kaishaku. reptile did loose his slide, invisibilty, and swiftness. But even in MKII, reptiles strengths were his stealth.. and if you're a great fighter.. you would be unstobable with that move.// i can prove it.// you can't hit what you can't see \\ but yeah.. with this technology and graphics.. i would love to see reptile in his ninja form.// he was always a hidden character and mysterious in the beginning.., so i am disapointed they turned him into a lizard for mkda.

everyone should know this.. but to those that don't, Moloch's weakness is weapons. take out you're weapon.. and do your combos, then block when he attacks you, then do your weapon combo again.// if that doesn't work.. pick scorpion and do scorpions BXXA weapon combo. and keep repeating it. when u uppercut him he'll sorta moan at you.. then u attack him again.

Like most people have said...Reptile is way too cartoonish now. I felt like I popped in an updated Clay Fighter game or something when I saw him. Seriously, what's next? Nightwolf evolving into an actual wolf that we play as? Or is Mortal Kombat going to incorporate a bear that knows karate like on Virtua Fighter (I think it was).

Reptile started out as Shang Tsung's personal protector, then was suddenly subserviant to Shao Kahn. How did he get involved with Shinnok? What was his purpose in DA? To find a new master and the only person he had a story with was Nitara?
