Captain Marvel - 4. Shocking Surprise (26% Difficult)

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

Jump Smack Down (Jump Forward Triangle)
Power of Wind (X, O)
Power of Zeus (Down Back Square)
Strength of Hercules (Back Forward Triangle)

1/31/09 3:55 PM - I don't know why I am so inconsistent with this move. It shouldn't be that difficult. Here are the steps:

1. Jump towards your opponent and press triangle to smack them down.

2. After you smack your opponent down they will bounce in the air. You will need to time your Power of Wind attack to start when they begin to descend. Up to this point I'm fine.

3. Then you will need to execute the Power of Zeus. This is where I'm inconsistent. Sometimes it get it to work but most of the time it doesn't. That's why I ranked this Kombo as difficult. If you do get this move initiated you will need to follow it with the Strength of Hercules which is easy. Just like I wrote in the Summoned Smackdown post you can skip pressing back and simply press forward triangle to complete the Kombo.

Please post your insight to this Kombo. I'm sure there is some technique to get more consistent to this.

Captain Marvel - 3. Power Descends (21% Very Easy)

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

Sky Scraper (Back Square)
Power of Zeus (Down Back Square)
Strength of Hercules (Back Forward Triangle)

1/31/09 3:30 PM - Like the Summonded Smack down this move is pretty easy. The only difference between the two moves is that this one starts off with a Sky Scraper. After you execute the Sky Scraper (Back Square) there is a very very brief pause before you start the Power of Zeus (Down Back Square). Like I said in my Summonded Smackdown post, to finish this Kombo you can skip pressing back on the Strength of Hercules and simply press Forward Triangle. Apparently the game still recognized teh back button from the Power of Zeus and counts it towards the Strength of Hercules move as well. Please post a reply if you find that is not the case for you.

Captain Marvel - 1. Summoned Smackdown (15% Very Easy)

Kombo Challenge: Down Back Square, * Back Forward Triangle

Power of Zeus (Down Back Square)
Strength of Hercules (Back Forward Triangle)


1/31/09 2:35 PM - You know, I really don't understand what the point of this Kombo is. In practice mode, it only takes away 15% which is the same amount of damage the Strength of Hercules move takes away by itself. Anyway, you if you are looking to complete the Kombo Challenge for Captain Marvel you will need to do this. This move is very easy. Start with the Power of Zeus (Down Back Square) and then press forward and Triangle without any pause to complete the "Sumoned Smackdown". Yes, that's right, you don't need to press the back button again. Apparently it recognized that you pressed back during the Power of Zeus and also counts that towards the Strength of Hercules. Pretty dang easy. If you think the Summoned Smackdown move does more damage than the Strength of Hercules, please post a reply.
