Haha. Wow. I didn't know all those variations existed. Sorry also to have jumped right into strategy without proper intros, but I was quite surprised and confounded when I looked on the website the other day and found someone had bested me--no sour grapes, I congratulate whomever it was.
No, it looked like the standard cabinet I remembered from the 80s, but a few other differences I can add is that The Lizard King has more complicated moves at the end--not all sword, but S, L, S, D, S, Mud Men is S, L, U, R, U, L, U, U (I think on memory) instead of S, then all ups, and the Dragon at the point of getting the sword is U, R (instead of S), then S to block the fire, followed by a L, R and final S. It took me some time learn what for me were new moves.
