2/8/09 8:55 AM - While this is one of the cooler looking Kombos because it has so many different attacks, I'm embarrissed to admit that it took me over 5 hours to complete this Kombo. Here's what I learned:

1. It is easy to initiate the Playtime sequence by quicky tapping square 3 times and press back after the first square.

2. Next is the Jump Smack Down which is simply jumping towards your opponent and pressing triangle. Up till now, this is the same attack sequence as the Here Kitty Kitty Kombo Challenge.

3. Next is the Scratch Leg (Back X). This is a bit tricky because it require you to press forward slightly to actualy execute it. After your opponent gets bounces up from the Jump Smack Down I found that I needed to move foward as much as possible so that when I pressed the back button I was in position to execute the Scratchy Leg. By as much as possible I mean only a little bit because you don't have that much time before you opponent falls to the ground. I needed to practice this a lot. If done correctly your opponent will get kicked up again.

4. With a very slight pause you will then execute the Frenzy Kombo (Square, Square, Triangle). Execute this attack sequece quickly to give youself some time for the final Cat and Mouse Kombo.

5. This is part I had the hardest time with. I found my self getting 9 hits with 31% damage because I could execute the first part of the Cat and Mouse, the Whip String, but I either couldn't get the Lasso Grip or it came out too late to grab my opponent. I suspect if you wait too long to execute it after the Frenzy Kombo you won't get the Lasso Grip to reach, but this is only a hunch as I've only completed this Kombo once.

I'm looking for experienced players to post their feedback on this Kombo. I'm curious if others are having the same difficulty that I had and if there are any other tips.
