Catwoman - 9. Purrrfection (33%Very Difficult)

Kombo Challenge: Square, Square, Down Forward X - Square - Forward Triangle, Back Forward O, * Down Back Square

Long Nails (Square, Square)
Somersault Fever (Down Foward X)
Quick Scratch (Square)
Double Claws (Forward Triangle)
Raging Cat (Back Forward O)
Whip String (Down Back Square)

2/8/09 5:30 PM - Another frustrating Kombo. I've only execute this about 4 times out of 50 tries. Here's my best attempt to explain it:

1. Start off with the Long Nails to Somersault Fever attack (Square, Square, Down Forward X). This is pretty easy to initiate.

2. There is a very very slight pause before you have to execute the next move "Quick Scatch". If done with the right timing then Catwoman will knock your opponent in the air again.

3. There is a very very slight pause (if any) before you need to execute the Double Claws move (Forward Triangle). This is where I have a difficulty timing it. I'm about 40% getting the timing right. If you do, you will continue to juggle your opponent in the air with the Double Claws.

4. Next, you will need to execute the Raging Cat. You have a little time since the Double Claws is 2 hits with one attack button. By a little time, I mean you don't necessarily have to press Forward Triangle, Back Forward O in immediate sequence. But if you allow any more that a very slight pause you will miss it. The best piece of advice I can give you is to be very precise with pressing the attack buttons. Don't tap them more than once or you won't execute the Kombo.

5. Finally finish the Kombo with a mid air Whip String. Like my other posts execute the move when Catwoman's knee comes up and starts to push off of her opponent.

Unless someone has an easier way to execute this Kombo this is not a practical move to try in live game play. I like the initation attack but there are other moves you can follow it up with to get the same and even more damage with much less difficulty. You just need to play around with it. I'd be interested to see if anyone has a suggested alternative with the same initation sequence.

Catwoman - 6. Feral Instinct (20% Difficult)

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

Skull Pouncer (Back Square)
Quick Scratch (Square)
Jump Smack Down (Jump Forward Triangle)
Whip String (Down Back Square)

2/7/09 3:05 PM - This Kombo Challenge wasn't hard to complete but is difficult to repeat consistently. Hence my rating of difficult. Here are the steps:

1. Bounce your opponent in the air by executing a Skull Pouncer (Back Square)

2. Juggle your opponent in mid air by pressing Square again for Quick Scratch. Thre is a little bit of timing involved here. Note a very slight pause is needed before you press Square.

3. Jump at your opponent in mid air and press Triangle for a Jumping Smack Down.

4. Finally, execute teh Whip String in mid air immediately after the Jumping Smack Down. You need to be fast to do this. To execute this make the Jump Forward Triangle Down Back Square all one move. By that I mean execute that sequence as fast as possible.

I like initiating Kombos with the Skull Pouncer because Catwoman reaches to do this. It allows you to initiate an attack just outside of close Kombat range where your opponent may have faster moves than Catwoman.

Catwoman - 4. Looks That Kill (29% Very Difficult)

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

Playtime (Square, Square, Back Square)
Quick Scratch (Square)
Reaching For Air (Square, Square, X)

2/7/09 2:35 PM - I completed this Kombo Challenge relatively quickly. I rated it as very difficult because it is hard for me to repeat. I currently am able to execute this Kombo only about 10% of the time. Here's my approach:

1. To execute Playtime I quickly press Square, Square, Back Square. After the Catwoman finishes this sequence with a Skull Pouncer our opponent will get smacked down and bounce in the air.

2. When your opponent is in mid air, press Square once. This is should be down with a slight pause after the Skull Pouncer. If done correctly you keep your opponent in the air with a Quick Scratch (Square).

3. Finally, quickly press (Square, Square, X) to execute the Reaching For Air sequence. For some reason I have trouble getting Catwoman to get the last Leaping Leg (X) attack in. I think I'm not pressing (Square, Square, X) fast enough. I have found I'm more successful with this Kombo when I have my opponent near the wall.
