> Is is true that you can't hit block and still get to Reptile? ...

	If you hit block at all, you gotta lose that round.  My friend hit 
block on the bridge level, and I saw something flew by the moon and told him
that Reptile was coming out so he gave me the controls.  Since it was the 
first round, I gave it to the computer and hoped that it worked.  By winning
the two following rounds without blocking and getting double flawless and
fatality, I was almost giving up on seeing Reptile, but he showed up anyway!
So I guess when he said "Blocking Will Not Help You" it only applies to the
rounds that you have to win.

> Also, is there any truth to the rumor that you can fight as Reptile?

	I've heard that too.  What I heard was that, if you can perform the
feat of beating Reptile without blocking and still get double flawless and 
fatality, you will possess his powers - in other words, Sub-Zero's freezeball
and Scorpion's harpoon.  Don't know if you gain his speed too, that would
REALLY help.  :)  So basically if you play Raiden, and got Reptile's power,
you will be able to throw an electric blot that zaps and freezes the foe in
the same time.  Then you can either charge or harpoon him in good time... I've
been trying real hard but Reptile is much too fast.  I think I need to get good
at Sonya or Liu Kang for this one (I usually use Johnny Cage to fight Reptile).
I am already beginning to see a pattern in Reptile's strategy...
