Yo!
   Gotta question about that hidden-sly-green-fox-of-a-character, Reptile.
What dictates when that sucker will make an appearance.  I don't mean
at the bridge with the pit.  I mean he sometimes (well only once in my
case) shows up before a round begins and gives those DIFFICULT clues on
how to get to him.  I can play the game with Johnny Cage and
pretty-darn-near get perfect at the bridge no matter what's the
difficulty setting.  Well, he never showed up.  But there was one time I
was trying out another character (I think it was Liu Kang), I was on my
third battle and before the characters showed up, he dropped from the
"sky" and said a one-liner about the bottom of the pit (only backwards).

With the help of Johnny Cage, I beat REPTILE with double flawless and
finishing move to score an awesomw 10 Million points.  How the HELL do
you enter you name among the other high scorers.  I fought all the way
to the old guy, beat him one round (to further boost the score) and
let him pulverize me the next two rounds.  When I lost the timer came
up, so I let it expire.  I also immediately noticed that my score went
back to ZERO!!!  I've tried getting a high score and starting a second
player, but the same end-results occur.  What's wrong??!!

One final question, is it me or does it seem that it is only possible
for you to implement the finishing move only in the second round.  I've
tried weenying away the computer's energy to close to nil (when the
DANGER appears) and the next hit finishes him--no FINISH HIM appears for
the first round.  If I'm not mistaken, doesn't the arcade work the same
way?

Enquirying Minds Want To Know,
