	I have.  I've gotten to him on a big-screen 6.0 machine (I think
it's 6.  It's the kind that doesn't want to allow more than two hits in
the air.) with Kano and then with Cage.  I beat him with Cage, but when
I used Kano, he was an absolute bastard, continually walking up on me and
countering everything I did.

	It seems that a shadow over the moon never appears unless I'm 
fighting a ninja at the pit.  Keep that in mind.  Look for it when the
game begins, so you know whether or not to keep on fighting, or to let
someone else on.

	There are others out there.  To them:
		Rise up, and take what is rightfully yours.
		Control the bandwidths.

(Another Combo shown to me:  w/ Cage, vs. Kano:
	After the blocked body ball, High Punch, Hop Kick, Hop Punch,
		Shadow Kick.  A good 60%+
	Only on versions < 5 )

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).
