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.

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

Somersaulting Fever (Down Forward X)
Long Nails (Square, Square)
Whip String (Down Back Square)
Lasso Grip (Back Forward Triangle)

2/7/09 2:50 PM - This move is a pain because of the Cat and Mouse ending. On all of the Catwoman Kombo Challenges that have the Cat and Mouse ending, I found my self practicing the last part of the move and then adding a little bit more on until I was trying the entire move.

1. Practice the Cat and Mouse (Whip String + Lasso Grip) until you are comfortable with it. I would keep practicing it until I could execute it 3 times in a row.

2. Next, add the Long Nails attack (Square, Square). You will notice the timing is slightly different when you transition from Long Nails to the Cat and Mouse attack. The Whip String happens faster which means your Lasso Grip needs to get executed faster.

3. Once your comfortable enough starting the attach with the Long Nails begin the attack with the Somersaulting Fever (Down Forward X). The difference here is you will have time your Long Nails attack to hit your opponent on the way down.

In live game play there are other Somersault Fever initiated Kombos you can execute that are easier for 20-30%.
