id like to use reptile i dont see a gameshark code anywheres to just unlock him on snes anyone have any suggestions besides get good or save state cheese?

Beating Reptile doesn't unlock him to use as a fighter. I didn't find any codes to use him either.

If you want to fight him on SNES, child me fought him after I discovered I could infinite foot sweep Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade. The Pit is the 4th stage. Get one in the first 4 opponents. Lose on purpose then continue if need be to advance the stage while keeping the same opponent.

Can use this save state I made at fighter select before Sonya on The Pit on Medium difficulty. Is Save Slot 5 on ares emulator, which I probably shouldn't have used since it doesn't support naming save states for some crazy reason but whatever. Using block in Scorpion's fatality is okay but don't hit earlier in the round.
