No.  You cannot use block at all.  No way around it.  That means you can't
play Sonya, since she is the only one that requires block.  Scorp's can be
done without block.

Yes you can throw one of the rounds to get the double flawless.

I'd say it comes every five or six games...  The only way I know of how to
predict it is this:  beat Shang Tsung, at the credits where the pit stage
is in the background, if there is shadows flying across the sky, then the
next game will have them at the pit stage.  But this doesn't happen every
time you beat Shang Tsung...

The first three matches (the pit's the fourth) don't matter.  You can use
block, lose one round, don't need flawlesses, etc on those rounds.  Just
win them.

No.  Only on versions 3.0 and higher.  To check what version you have,
just flip the power switch (located usually on the top left of the
machine) on and off.  There should be a line at the top that says
something like "Revision 3.0  8/10/92"

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the shadows on the moon will still be there
on that round.  I haven't gotten double flawless on that round before, so
I don't know if you can get Reptile there.  My guess would be you probably
can.

You MUST do the fatality.  Otherwise you just get the usuall points for
winning a match.

Hmmm .. I believe that covers it all.

Happy searching,

I'm not sure about the arcade, but I was able to play Sonya to
get to reptile on Genesis. I didn't block during the rounds but I did
press block to do fatality. 

The easiest way to confirm is to use the cheat menu, 
set flag 0 and change the last option to the pit. Then 
select Sonya.

First of all, it can be done on any pit stage when playing human vs. computer
when 6) is active [moon appearances], it doesn't have to be the first one
in the match, I think I got to Reptile once on the second endurance...

You can throw one of the three rounds in order to get a double flawless..
I'm not positive about whether or not Sonya can get to Reptile, but I haven't
heard much either way so far...

Right.

Reptile is only in machines with chips of Revision 3.0 or later...

Well, see above, but I doubt that you'd get moon appearances twice in one
game... I think the chances were, like, one in twenty or thirty...

Well, when we used to beat Reptile on a Rev. 3.0 [the best, IMHO], I don't
remember getting the points, but it's not like the points matter much, eh?

Hope this helps...

	I don't know about the home versions, but at the arcade, it is
possible to get reptile with Sonya. I have done it myself many times. I
don't block all round, and then I block while doing the fatality, and iot
still gives it to me.

	As for Scorpion, just tap highpunch and do your Up-Up and it gets
it, and I don't even want to risk not getting reptile because of using
block with Scorpion. It is, after all, not necessary.

	Isn't this ERMAC thing funny, folks? Take a look at any arcade MK
machine owner's manual and it's proven false right then and there.

I don't know about Genesis, but the original poster said he wanted to put
this sign at his local arcade.  And I know the arcade doesn't let you
press block at all.  I think I'll try it on the SNES MK and see if Sonya
can get to him.

Well this isn't really correct, you just have to get to the Pit Screen,
that's all...

Doesn't matter also...

Yep.

Also correct (I heard it is possible with Sonya)...

Nonono, if something goes wrong in round 1 or 2, you can let the CPU win
and try again...

Yes... I heard that happens every 50 fights or something like that...

Just get to the Pit Screen! Nothing else matters before that...

No he doesn't... Here in Amsterdam there is only 1 arcade machine where
you can get to Reptile... Now I know why since I read in this thread that
it's bcoz of a new chip...

No, I also got Reptile in a second pit (an endurance match). No, you can't
beat Reptile twice coz like I wrote b4, as far as I know you can get Reptile
only every 50 fights or so (fights, not games)...

>	4) Defeating Reptile entitles you to 10,000,000 points. (What I

Yep, if you get the fatality... 

Well that's all...

I'm happy there finally is a newsgroup about Mortal Kombat (I didn't notice
it earlier)...

L8r!...
