Baraka - 7. Tarkatan Takedown (29% Difficult)


Kombo Challenge: Back X, O, Down O, Triangle, Triangle, Down Back Square

Nail and Impale (Back X, O)
Change Stance (Down O)
Double Cuts (Triangle, Triangle)
Sharp Spark (Down Back Square)

1/14/09 8:55 PM - This move is moderately difficult. I approached it by practicing the last part of the Kombo first. Press Triangle, Triangle, Down Back Square really fast to perform the Double Cuts to Sharp Spark. Once you've completed this 3 hit Kombo successfully a few times practice the Nail and Impale (Back X, O). This should be easy. I found the hardest part of this Kombo was the Change Stance (Down O). The transition to Down O is awekward as well as the transition from Down O to the Double Cuts. You just need to get used to the timing. It takes some conditioning to get the Kombo all the way through the Double Cuts. I practiced this Kombo and was pressing Triangle 3 times instead of 2 just for reinforcement of transitioning to the Triangle. Once I trained myself to complete this sequence a few times in a row. I then forced myself to only tap Triangle twice and attempt the Sharp Spark. This took some conditioning but only a little since I practiced this first. If you can quickly go from the Stance Change to the Double Cut, you should have enough time to get off the Sharp Spark with ease. This Kombo is not that hard after you practice it through several times. One thing I've been trying to do is keep practicing the Kombo even after I've reached Success. I keep trying until I can execute it 3 times in a row. Note, you do not need to go back to the previous trial to practice your Kombos. You can do them even when you've advanced to a new Kombo trial. You just won't get the "Success" displayed.
