(Sorry about the first attempt, I hope this corrects it.)

To All Mortal Kombat (Reptile) Experts,
	I am not a pro at MK but people at my university are. I have seen
them get flawless matches and fatalities... perhaps even a double flawless
but never the double flawless & fatality on the Pit Screen. The reason for
this is simple... NO ONE HAS EVER EVEN HEARD OF REPTILE HERE!!! (Except
me.)
	Since I desperately want to see someone find (and beat) Reptile, I
spoke to the local arcade manager about posting some signs around our
Mortal Kombat machine telling people about Reptile and how to get to him.
Once people see this, they will try to do it. And hopefully I will be
there to see it.
	Since I am the one drawing up the poster, I want to make sure that
I include every possible bit of information required to get to Reptile.
I'll give them the info and then they will have to do it themselves.
	Based on what I have read from the newsgroups, this is what I
believe the criteria is: (IF I AM WRONG OR OMIT ANYTHING, PLEASE CORRECT
ME!!!)
	1) Must win all matches up to the first Pit Screen.
	2) No other player may join in before getting to the first Pit
	   Screen and defeating Reptile or you've missed your chance. 
	  (Whether you win the match or not is irrelevant right?)
	3) On the Pit Screen, you must preform a double flawless and
	   fatality.
	4) You must preform #3 without using the BLOCK button (except if
	   when doing your fatality the BLOCK button is required).
	5) You must preform #3 in the first two rounds. You cannot throw
	   the first or second match to try for the double flawless.
	6) Something must pass in front of the moon on the Pit Stage. (Any
	   idea how likely that is?)

Questions I need answered:
	1) Excluding the Pit Screen
		- You don't need flawlesses or fatalities
		- You don't need to win each round. Merely 2 of 3 rounds.
		- It is acceptable to use BLOCK. (Including the TEST YOUR
		  MIGHT SCREENS.)
	2) Reptile appears on all versions of MK? (I am not sure what
	   version ours is)
	3) Only the 1st Pit Screen will do? (Ie. If you miss it the first
	   time, you can't try again in the Endurance Rounds or something.)
	   If you *can* try again, is it possible to beat Reptile twice?
	4) Defeating Reptile entitles you to 10,000,000 points. (What I
	   want to know is if you MUST execute your fatality move on Reptile 
	   or not to get it.)

This is everything I know and all the questions I don't have answers to
that I think I need solved. If I have omitted something and didn't ask a
question about it, it is because I don't know about it. Please fill me in!
(I would prefer replies POSTED so that if there is some confusion, it can
 be debated by everyone. It will also avoid people repeating the same
 things and is probably of interest to most people.)

Thanks in advance

Alan Bick
