Batman - 6. Beg for Mercy (12% Very Difficult)

Kombo Challenge: Back Square - X - Jump Forward X, Down Forward Square

Overhead Elbow (Back Square)
Twisting Hook Kick (X)
Jump Kick (Jump Forward X)
Aerial Batarang (Down Forward Square)

1/25/09 9:15 PM - This one frustrates me. And for only 21% damage I do not recommend spending much time on this after you finish it for the Kombo Challenge. Again, unless you like showing off there are way easier moves to perform for higher damage with Batman. Here's how I went about accomplishing this Kombo Challenge:

1. The hardest part about this move is executing the Jump Kick to Aerial Batarang. Practice enough to where you're are comfortable jump kicking in the air and throwing the Batarang in mid air. You're going to need to be able to get this off super quick.

2. Now, practice the Overhead Elbow to Twisting Hook Kick. This will smack your opponent to the ground. When they bounce up and begin their decent press X to execute the Twisting Hook Kick. There is only a slight pause before you need to press X.

3. Now for the hard part... You need to execute a Jump Kick, Aerial Batarang. Try the first few time doing the Kombo all the way up the Jump Kick. Once you are able to land a quick Jump Kick, then try doing the move all the way to the Jump Kick, Aerial Batarang Kombo. I had a tough time with this one. Please if anyone has a good technique to achieving this Kombo, please post!!

Unless there is an easier way to execute this Kombo this is not a practical live game move to try.

Batman - 3. Caped Crusader (26% Easy)

Kombo Challenge: Back Square - Triangle - Down Forward O

Overhead Elbow (Back Square)
Double Bat Kick (Triangle)
Leaping Shadow Kick (Down Forward O)

1/25/09 7:10 PM - This is a pretty easy Kombo for 26% damage. Simply practice the timing of when to press Triangle to initiate the Double Bat Kick (very slight pause) and you'll get this one. I really didn't recognize any need for a pause between this move and the Leaping Shadow Kick, but if you do pause, you have time to press Down Forward O, because Batman executes two kicks when you press Triangle. Pretty easy. I'm starting like using Batman. Use this as a practical move in live game play.

Batman - 2. Knightfall (28% Very Easy)

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

Overhead Elbow (Back Square)
Over and Up (O, X)
Leg Takedown (Down Back O)

1/25/09 - 6:00 PM - I love this move because it's not too difficult to get and it takes out 28% damage. Even if you don't do the Overhead Elbow at the beginning and just to the Over and Up to Leg Takedown you delivering 27% damage. So, it's really not practical in game play to do the Overhead Elbow unless you're just looking to show off. Anyway, you need to complete the whole move to complete the Kombo Challenge, so here are my tips.

1. First practice the Over and Up to Leg Takedown move until the attack sequence is natural to you. Like I said above this one is pretty easy.

2. Once you are comfortabe with the last part of the Kombo, try executing it by starting off with the Overead Elbow. The trick this is the very slight pause before you go into the Over and Up. You will most likely have to practice this a bit. Note if you don't give a slight pause before you go into the Over and Up you will miss your opponent. If you pause for too long your opponent will fall to the ground ending the Kombo.
