Mortal Kombat (Arcade) - Reptile on Very Hard with Double Flawless

Performed on Mortal Kombat (rev. 5.0 T-Unit 03/19/93) via MAMEUI64 0.138 and recorded with Fraps 3.2.3.

HOW TO FIGHT REPTILE
1) Must be on The Pit stage.
2) Just before the fight starts, a silhouette will fly past the moon. This means you have the opportunity to fight Reptile.
3) Must get a Double Flawless without using Block (This also means you can't use Kano's Knives or Sub-Zero's Slide).
4) Execute a Fatality (Do not use Block in Scorpion's case -- instead, jump up and tap Up twice, timing the second Up as you land; Sonya can fight Reptile as of Revision 4.0). Knocking your opponent into The Pit does NOT count as a Fatality.

Note: This only works on Revision 3.0 and above.

DEFEATING REPTILE
Reptile has the powers and Fatalities of both Scorpion and Sub-Zero, as well as enhanced speed. I used Raiden in this scenario because his jump kick has the longest reach. Wait until Reptile approaches, ducking any projectile he may throw as soon as the round starts, then jump back and do the deepest kick you possibly can, followed by a Torpedo Push. If the kick is too high, he'll have enough time to recover and block your TP. Reptile's speed allows him to keep pace with you as you jump back, allowing Raiden's kick to connect. Just don't get pinned in the corner as I almost did.

A NOTE ABOUT SILHOUETTES
According to the MK devs, "a silhouette will only appear on The Pit stage after every 40 matches of play. The machine has an internal counter that keeps track of how many matches have been played (a match is a complete two- or three-round battle). Once the counter reaches 40, a silhouette will appear the next time a player reaches The Pit, at which time the counter will reset to zero." - Source: Video Games & Computer Entertainment (July, 1993)

MAME BUGS
The 10,000,000 points is incorrectly added to the player's score and appears to be a MAME bug. (Unconfirmed)

@elegalams Aside from the 10,000,000 points, all of that is mentioned in the description already. The reason the 10,000,000 isn't properly added to the score is because it's a bug in MAME.

The only way to find Reptile in 1-Player game is by following those clues: Be at "The Pit" stage. Just so while shadows are flying across the moon, You might always wanna win 2 perfect rounds (a "Double Flawless Victory") instead of blocking and do the fatality on CPU's opponent at the end of Round 2. Then, defeat Reptile at the bottom of the pit once and for all. Once You’ve performed a finishing move on Reptile, You’ll get an extra big bonus 10 million points!
