Challenges are broken or just too hard?

[Cypherstrife]

I've got around to playing elder kai's challenges, I don't usually do this and prefer to learn from other players from battles. When I tried the advanced knock em' down challenge I cannot hit my trainer what so ever, I get to the last button prompt and see my character going for the kick which is swiftly denied by them jumping into the air. For the life of me it seems I can't pull this off because of the attack window is this just me?

Edit: Finished the Challenge but am now stuck with my trainer because mission won't end and apparently my trainer became Zeno and I can't kill her

They aren't broken, the AI's recovery timer is just much faster in the training mode than it is anywhere else. To bypass it, just stamina break them first. ^+X. ^+Y.

I've already tried that, and know how guard break works this will not work for how long it is to pull off. Them being at full stamina causes them to regen stamina faster then if they had less stamina; due to this they have ample time to recover all their stamina and dodge out of the way.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

It actually does work, because it is how I did it.

It's not broken You just need pin point timing. Challenge is unforgiving and forces you to "git gud"

Just tried it they had just enough time to gain stamina and jump up before the kick. It may work for you but i don't think it's going to work for me

[Sayla Massochist]

But for the Elder Kai Challenge stuff act as tutorial for the new combos right? So expected a player to use a combo or skill not yet learned is a bit unfair?

then you're not fast enough as stated before, it works for the rest of us. you need to be faster with your key inputs, no delay, a 20 ms delay means you missed the combo. these are CHALLENGES, and not required for anything else in the game.

They aren't broken, they're just useless crap. You don't "get good" cause the stuff they ask you to do is stupid ♥♥♥♥, expecially the combos. Things you'll only do there. They don't teach anything, everything you need to know is in the first mission given by the Supreme Kai of Time, you'll play differently with each race/fighting stylel combination anyway.

Ok just did it; I beat it without the stupid guard break and now the mission won't end, My trainer finished her dialouge and now the mission won't end no new button prompts or anything, I can't beat my trainer because she still has the no kill health thing or whatever; I am done apparently now i'm TOO fast for this system. seriously screw Bandai

Actually not, you've now encountered a bug. The bug is, you did the combo, but you messed it up/succeeded at the last second, thus bugging the next combo. If you are successful, the screen will flash white and it will end.

well now im finished with this, I've just beat it along with every other challenge and i cannot believe the timing on some of these things but I did it and only got an achievement out of it, IMO not worth it
