ok reptile is my favorite character i love his moves(force ball ftw) i like his sympathetic storyline, but does he ever win

i feel as if he was a secret badass at firtst and was awesome in mortal kombat 2 and 3 and could be taken seriously but ever since 4 and Da he just gets his ass kicked all the time


i use to think that out of all the ninjas(not including chameleon) it was scorp then sub then reptile but now it seems like hes the worst

even in mortal kombat 2011 hes the first person you fight hes just a punching bag now


is he the worst in the series?

could he even beat baraka

i want everybody to list who he could defeat

For something that spits acid you'd think he'd go around giving everybody a Kenshi but apparently it only kills you during a fatality.

He totally does, along with Baraka and Sheeva in MK 2011. The only time he talks (in MK 2011), we can't even hear him!

*After Jax punches Baraka around*

..........

Shang Tsung: "Your next opponent will be-"

*Reptile interrupts him*

Shang Tsung: "What is it?"

Reptile: *Leans towards Shang's ear and whispers something to him*

(For humorous purposes, I like to think Reppy said: "Master, your 30'' crystal-ball is ready to display hundreds of por- I mean, hundreds of scenes of earthrealm human interaction.")

Shang: "Excellent. It seems I have a pressing matter to attend to, with the Emperor's permission, we will reconvene later."

At least he didn't die in MK 2011, I hope he has a bigger role in the next game.

Well to be fair about Reptile not talking in this game I always thought of him as a mute anyway. I know he talked in MK 4 but I have blocked that horrible voice from my memory.

In MK4, Reptile gets killed in his own ending! In his MK:DA ending his body is transformed and controlled by Onaga the Dragon King. His MK: Armageddon ending is when he catches a break:

Argus: "As the shockwave caused by Blaze's death rattled the surrounding crater, the pyramid on which Reptile stood began to crumble. A fissure opened to reveal a sarcophagus of familiar design. Reptile unlocked the curious artifact to find a female Zaterran. As she awoke, Reptile felt himself slowly reverting back to his humanoid form. The glory of Zaterra will return once more!"

He gets beaten around in MK 2011's Story Mode, but in his ending he forces Shang Tsung to bring back the Zaterran race using his Flesh Pits, so he gets one more break in MK9, an un-canonical one along with MK:A's, but at least he doesn't get killed.

As I wrote in your previous thread =P:

ok before the debating continues i will not post my opinion but i think everyone needs to know that ermac is overlooked and reptile is underlooked


True.

they both loose to the same people in mk9


That doesn't mean anything... because then Sonya could beat Raiden. HAHAHA what a joke, right? Also according to the story Sonya could beat Kitana and Jade at the same time... what the fuck?! I don't even think she could beat one of them I mean, a 34 yrs old army chick against a 10,000 years old assassin.... COME ON!

All of that being said, I don't think Reptile is one of the weakest characters, I find it very sad that Baraka, Sheeva, Mileena and Reptile were basically punching bags in MK9... especially considering that Sheeva killed Motaro in the first storyline, Mileena is a clone of Kitana, Baraka is the emperor's general and Reptile a high-ranked bodyguard and spy...

Exactly.

Gouhado345 Wrote:
so is reptile just weak in general can anyone name me some people hed actually beat cuz hes always losing


He is not weak, it's really up to the writers. I don't think Reptile could beat Liu Kang or Shang Tsung in fair fight but Reptile never fights fair does he?

He's all about dirty tricks and backstabbing. Because of that he could kill anyone... but not in a fair fight.

To answer your question, I would not be shocked if Reptile won a Mortal Kombat (or lost) against: Chameleon, Smoke, Cyrax, Sektor, Stryker, Kabal, Dairou, Jarek, Darrius, Mavado, Mokap, Johnny Cage, Kano, Jax, Kai, Hsu Hao, Kobra, Khameleon, Li Mei, Frost, Kira, Drahmin, Baraka, Hotaru, Havik, Moloch and maybe Skarlet.

I don't see him beat Liu Kang or a sorcerer, and in my opinion, Kenshi being blind is an advantage over Reptile's invisibility.

I'm not saying he WOULD beat them, I'm just saying I wouldn't be shocked if he won against one of them.
