I just got to Reptile for the first time yesterday.  I was playing
Cage, and I was fighting Liu Kang on the pit (that destroys the
ninja-only theory mentioned above).  I easily defeated Reptile by
waiting for freezes and/or harpoons, and then shadow-kicking.  Hop
punches also worked pretty well, but some machines might counter that
with the straight-up jump kick.  One of these days I'll actually make
it with my standard character (Scorpion).
