Hey just letting ya'll know. If you're not doing damage to characters in invasions with Reiko's parry "Retaliation", it's because you have the "Not Junk" relic on that makes it so you don't deal damage to characters under super armor.

AmpSlide is his launcher, and you can basically combo it off of anything he does. Your other option is to do the Slide Knee option for a meterless confirm off his grounded moves, won't get it off of a 434. Once in the air, end with Pale Rider or Tackle, dealer's choice, then put em in the wake-up grinder
That's just base. Anything you do with Kameos is gonna be on you

33% :

32% :
F124, micro dash 1 (at the peak of their pop up velocity), 34 EX BF3, 3 BDF1
No kameo needed btw, but I haven’t found a kameo that’s good w reiko.
thick phoenix
You can parry mid combo if the gap is big enough.
Parry works on throws.
Works on command throws as well
thick phoenix
Reiko can punish these gay moves

You can delay wake-up to dodge it if you're on the ground.

I found something really weird
So b2 is plus 8 on block. The command throw jails unless the opponent neutral ducks
However an ordinary throw does not jail (did fast normals like low pokes)
B2 also jails into b34
Only jails in corner for some reason ^
Well rather that it’s a small window (2-3f) to do a low poke
For most instances a 7f jab will trade with b34
solar holly
B2 also jails into b34
B3 is a mid
solar holly
Yeah but the term jail doesn't apply there, is all.
thick phoenix
The most guarantee safe option if the opponent sits is literally his b4 which is +3 on block and you get distance
Oh shit I didn’t mean jail then. Jails on hit stun lol
Terminology mixed up
solar holly
No you can't jail into a mid lol
thick phoenix
What’re you talking about
thick phoenix
Fuck maybe I’m thinking of a frame trap but regardless the b3 will trade if anything
But most of the time you can’t squeeze in a d1
Unless you mash it.
solar holly
Do you get a combo if you trade with B3?
thick phoenix
I’m checking
No, you’re too far from hit stun after the trade
But like onto the options—
B2 will give you a guarantee command throw if they don’t duck or armor
B2 > b4 (+3) can set up for a whiff potential if you micro dash into b3
solar holly
Yeah, so that's a command grab/shimmy mix
And it jails into S1 which if you confirm will let you start your Running Knee launcher
solar holly
It's gotta be Darrius now
I hadn't thought of using the Same Side Pale Rider animation as a way to connect with Kameo's this helps with his damage a lot
thick phoenix
Oh shit I gotta try that
I’ve been experimenting with his corner game. It’s really hard to find what is good because you don’t want to do his knee pop up special
Like, a good route (I think) is something like
F124, standing 3 (x2) BF3 >>>>
Or standing 3 into standing 1, 21 BF3
But the double standing 3 yields better damage
thick phoenix
How tf are you getting darrius to hit after the command throw?
he doesn’t come out on the other side
Nvm you have to wait to the very end of the command throw
but darrius just whiffs, thought it was a hitbox thing but even on Johnny I can’t get Darrius to hit damn
thick phoenix
I also seemingly noticed that you can combo into an ex grab.. so it turns into a mid then
solar holly
How tf are you getting darrius to hit after the command throw?
Pale Rider side switches. So when your opponent is on the "other side" of Reiko, that's when you Hold back, so his Pale Rider extention where he kicks himself back off your body plays, keeping enemies feet in the air long enough to get clipped by Darrius
solar holly

Correct. That way you can close out for some extra damage on grounded opponents if you don't have a launcher.
thick phoenix
Pale Rider side switches. So when your opponent is on the "other side" of Reiko,...
What do you mean hold back? Darrius kick doesn’t need a directional input, when I wait for the opponents legs to come up Darrius will whiff even though he comes from the closest side
solar holly

Get it now?
thick phoenix
Ohh I see
solar holly
The minute after you summon him, you have enough time to use the Pale Rider alt
thick phoenix
got it. Yeah I see. It looks like when you hold back his legs stay up longer which is weird but still really cool for combos
Holy shit Reiko 42%
I was watching Tweedy and he mentioned that Reiko had a 40% 1 bar with scorpion but I couldn’t find how that could be accomplished
solar holly
Let me see if I can find it rq
solar holly
40% probably from a corner combo, because I can get a bit more there. But I like Scorpion a lot 
thick phoenix
I see that yeah. Darrius has more because he has like a overhead low set up from slide

Reiko's air combo damage is linear with no air specials or grabs but it chunks pretty well
thick phoenix
I wouldn’t do them anywho. You get better OKi for ending with a grounder specia
Special*
solar holly
I wouldn’t do them anywho. You get better OKi for ending with a grounder specia
What do you mean? The first combo leaves you in D1 range at +36. That's plenty of time to do whatever you want
thick phoenix
yeah but like you can just end in B2 to be +40
In Reiko combo end with b2 and you still cash out at 40%

Dude I didn’t relize all the red attacks are amror breaks
That’s sick wth

solar holly
Dude I didn’t relize all the red attacks are amror breaks
They are? And they're bugged?
thick phoenix
I didn’t know this either, but I don’t think it’s true.
Not even his fast b2 stuffs wake-up armor
I feel like that would’ve been mentioned in the kombat kast
thick phoenix
So the red glow is just for aesthetic purposes but I don’t think it’s a bug because it would be absurd if his b3 had the ability to shatter armor.
His armor breaking route is standing 3 into db3xx but it’s different for some characters. It doesn’t work for smoke as his armored move will whiff when you go into your tackle
Some instances with reptile, you have to do b3 into db3xx due to the evasive hitbox of the death roll but standing 3 can connect it’s just the timing is harder
Tbh for how floaty jumps are you don’t even need to try and stuff a wake up w armor. If you just jump over their wake up you pretty much have the full punish.

So is darrius done for? I havent tested it yet is the scaling fucked up

Nope he still is optimal and grants good damage. You just can’t get 70% which really was only done if someone upblock
but Stryker is prob going to be meta

I like Reiko but only played Darrius with him. What does Stryker do for him?
thick phoenix

Set ups, gives him better stage control and allows him to reset into b2 or command throw

Base Reiko corner combo: B3 BF3U 21 12 12 bdf1 for 296 (most I found for no resources)
civic pecan
have we found a new best kameo for Reiko cause i doubt its still Darrius right?
supple lintel
A lot of people are using Stryker
But I think that’s because Stryker is the cyrax replacement
neon garden
Its less combo damage but it still lets you combo at all off of scoopidy doopidy
I’m gonna try stryker but landing the darrius reset off of scoopidy feels nice
gusty ridge
I switched to Sektor and have been loving it in comparison to Darrius
Stryker definitely one of if not the best for him though
civic pecan
stryker just seems overall good on every chracter
gusty ridge
Yeah he kinda is the new Cyrax, +6 overhead +23 restand and grenades allow for a lot whether it be zoning/combos/armor breaks/stage control

I'm still trying to figure out if Reiko is my best option as a Spawn main in MK11
supple lintel
Depends what variation you played

Depends what variation you played
The one with the fireball, charge, and the one rush grapple
Basically all parts of Reikos kit
I just really gotta get better with using Kameos
i still havent gotten anywhere close to using them optimally
supple lintel
The one with the fireball, charge, and the one rush grapple
So you had the combo extender and the command grab?
supple lintel
If you want something like that in mk1 your probably looking at geras
Reiko is much stubbier and relays a lot more on projectiles
past sparrow
Does he play radically different from MK11?
supple lintel
This game is radically different then mk11
past sparrow
That is true
I’ll try him out in Invasions for a bit and see how I vibe with him the
supple lintel
He does the same damage as mk11 spawn and has one of the longest reaching command grabs

Is tremor really good with Reiko? I really don’t see the purpose as he only serves as a Darrius with extra tools. And when you use tremor for your kombos they all spend his entire bar similar to Darrius
I just don’t see why you wouldn’t stick with Stryker
solar holly

That's precisely the purpose of him. You have way more ways to deal with neutral, keep yourself safe, and annoy your opponents, without just saving him for only a command grab confirm.
Lets you save your bar for more things like AmpStars, AmpSlide for combos and oki setups, etc
If you're only looking for a Kameo that functions as a big damage combo extender, then yeah you won't have a need to switch off of darrius
supple lintel
Just checking, has anyone here found the cheap shit with Kano yet, or do you want to see what I found?

Did they change how tremor interacts with the cmd grab? I thought you could use his ground pound to extend from a pale rider but couldnt get it to work

Anyone got good Reiko combos? I usually play Darius or Stryker for his kameo
I can hit decent damage just fine with b3, bf3b, 34, bf3ex, 3 , qcf1. Just wondering other than calling out the Darius on the command grab if there's better damage I could get
