You got all the reptile requirements right, but it is possible to fight
Reptile with Sonya and Scorpion...With Sonya, just do the fatality as
normal and with Scorpion, move the correct distance away and press up to
jump in the air...While in the air, continue to press up rapidly and when
you land, Scorpion will do the fatality.

	It is not necessary to touch block to do Scorpion's fatality.
Simply pressing up-up does it. In order to stay on the ground, back up to
fatality range, start tapping on highpunch, and then press up-up while so
tapping. This is how I get to Reptile with Scorpion... works every time.

YOu sure about that?  I mean, it says "Blocking will get you nowhere" 
Yeah, I think what that really means is that when you block a hit you DO
take a little bit of damage... thus ruining your flawless victory. 
Scorpion does work, and so do the others that need to use block in the
fatality.  Or I'm just crazy and thought that.. whatever.. all I know is I
always use scorpion and get to fight reptile a lot.

Well, I finally got to play MK II when I went home to L.A. for Turkey
Day.  I was really surprised at how "cartoonish" the characters look.
I mean, I like how Scorpion has been touched-up so that he looks,
well... undead.  And the full-screen portraits look cool, but I
thought the characters looked rotoscoped more than digitized.

Anyway, while I was playing, I encountered two moves that I'd consider
cheese... we're talking Sonya-like top-grade cheese.

1) Sub-Zero's ground freeze.  I think they should make this move a
little longer in the wind-up, like Reptile's energy ball, so that you
have a reasonable amount of time to escape, pre-empt, whatever.

2) Raiden's throw.  The throw places you too close to him.  I've had
people pick me up and slam me three or four times in a row.  I tried
using the old Sonya-cheese-counter, which involves waiting until you
land before blocking, but I could only block it about 40% of the time.
Any tips?

I'm just glad that Scorpion's combos still work against Raiden :)

I like how Shang Tsung has only one special move until he morphs into
somebody else.  I also like the fact that he has to have a few seconds
of peace to transform successfully.  That really balances him out, I
think.

	Okay, okay, just to get things straight, I got the whole procedure from
the back of the Mortal Kombat guide published by the GamePro magazine editors. 
They are the ones who said that you can't Block at any time during the match or
in performing the fatality.  What I HAD confirmed was the need for the Flawless
Victory and the objects flying over the moon.
	I've also been recently informed that you don't need to use the block
to perform Scorpion's fatality; all you have to do is press up 3 times as
usual and when Scorpion lands, he performs his fatality.  I haven't tried this
out yet, but I assume it's correct.
	BTW, on a similar note, you don't need to hold block to do Kano's
Cannonball, either.  I haven't been able to get it to work for the knives,
though.
	One last thing - if you have a Game Genie, then you can use AKXA-AA22
and always get the Flawless Victory bonus, no matter how much you get hit; it's
also good for getting to Reptile.  The other codes are in another post from
me.. I forget the number, though...

I really like Liu Knag's bicycle kick.  You just wait, and BOOM!
Or Jax's ground punch is pretty good for people who sit and
block.

Also Cage's moves arent as awesome.  For example the shadow kick
doesnt work as well as before

Liu Kang's old easy to do fly-kick combos.  Not as easy to do.  I cant
seem to do a in the air kick one.  Though I did the gorund drop
kick/flykick combo a bunch of times vs the copmputer


BEST COMBO vs computer (in my opinion):

Take Kitana.  Throw your blade right after drop-kicking the computer (hit
him a little low).  Works Awesome!
