Hell yeah, the combo challenge mode. It was hard to get started out at first, until I used Raiden. Then it was easier to get used to after the first month of playing. If you want to talk about moves during a fight, use The Joker. Joker's specials are simple like every other characters in the game, except he has alot on his list. Its easy to confuse down, back, X with down, foward, X on Xbox Live for the Boxing glove then you get a bomb, when Joker may already have even more button directions you can use for X, or Y, or B.

Either way Armageddon was alot easier to control the characters for scrubs, but I'm really glad Mk team decided to make things a little more challenging then having full combos already listed.

just keep practicing ... it becomes 2nd nature.
memorize the moves that you find more useful and also try to learn how to juggle and execute combos and practice those because that's what you need to remember and execute when you are fighting ...
basically you wanna get your opponent in a juggle and execute a decent damaging combo on them and try to end it with a special if possible.
good luck

Yeah, i agree with you. I need to play more and practice more. But my right hand gets tired of keep pressing the buttons. lool
