You can alternate fast the slow, or slow then fast instantly, but in-between usages of the same type you have a slight lag time to wait, essentially the amount of time it takes for the slow ball to travel full screen. In UMK3 he now can do fast and slow forceballs which makes him a "force" to be reckoned with.You are going to want to abuse the Hell out of this move, mixing them up as much as possible. The Forceball is a very unique and solid move. Sometimes they tend to miss in situations where you wouldn't expect them to and this is due to kara canceling with run to speed the last hit up, in this situation, often you can do aaHP,LP and it'll work, with slightly less damage, otherwise, always take an extra small step in before doing aaHPs. The only thing that can be weird about them is their aaHPs. The Male Ninjas have excellent basic moves, good height and range on everything in relation to their sprite proportions, their roundhouse is extra wicked and can connect in almost any situation. He has several infinites that are available on many characters, look into trying them out as it will increase Reptile's chances of winning dramatically. You can add his slide at the end of a combo in corner which will be unblockable. Remember his Elbow Dash can be used as a transit move, like a self terminating dash, it is twice as fast as run and advanced players know exactly when he will stop. Zone like Hell with the forceballs, make sure you make your opponents make mistakes, it's very easy, just watch out against teleporters because Reptile has a harder time against them than Kabal. Run jabs to pop up combos, sneaky close range slides, abuse of general male ninja basic properties are also a must. Invisibility plays a big role in Reptile's tactics, use if as often as possible, but use it safely.
