SillyLeprechaun Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Is there a list of Robin's combat and takedown moves anywhere? I'm finding it hard to play with him because I'm not really sure what I'm doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahlsim Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Link edited, now shows the vids in order @SillyLeprechaun : i found he plays a lot like Batman, but somehow it seems easier to have 4.000 bonus points. I tried to do the following in every combat : Strike Counter Stun Quick Shuriken Evade ,:cross: (and redirect, don't know if it counts for 2 moves) + + Zip Kick + Aerial attack ,,:cross: Triple stun ,:circle:, Beatdown , ,:square:, Ground takedown + And you could even add Explosive gel + Snap flash + Quick bullet shield ,:r2: Edited December 2, 2011 by Dahlsim list complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetberg Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 After Catwoman & Nightwing DLCs, I found Robin's pretty 'relaxing' . Anyway: - Quick Bullet Shield (got me the first time I used it): Quickly press ,:r2: - Explosive gel and Snap Flash are inversed in Dahlsim's post.

Moving On Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Thanks for posting this! Haven't had the chance to play the Robin DLC yet, but I'm sure I will get back to the game during the holiday season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Execta Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Am I the only one who isn't struggling with these combat challenges (any of them, not just Robin) at all? Actually, quite the opposite. I'm enjoying them very much. I got all Robin's combat challenges to 3 question marks with playing all the challenges just once. And I always topped the needed score with like 30 000 points. I think they should have more challenge in them... Like Arkham Asylum had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saephiroth Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I was struggling with Robin's combat challenges back when I was playing this game, but I shelved it for a while after not being able to do any of the DLC challenge maps. How did you do the combat maps easily with Robin? Any tips/strategies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you do the combat maps easily with Robin? Any tips/strategies? If you can play with Batman, you can play with anyone. So if you already got the platinum (just assuming, won't bother to check right now), how can't you get the challenges done with Robin? I can't really give any specific tips. Just that if you can play with Batman, you can easily play with any other character since they have the same controls with just different animations and moves.

Yes I did get the platinum, but only because I was able to get the combat challenges done with Batman thanks to Bat Swarm. I have to disagree with your statement that if you can play with Batman, you can play with anyone. Each character is unique, and their different movesets are what make this difficult. Without Bat Swarm, how is it possible to get the needed score to beat the combat challenges with the other characters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience they work just the same as batswarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin and Nightwing both have same controls as Batman, except they lack some moves like + . Robin has a move similiar to Bat Swarm and it's done with the same buttons as with Batman. He just trips everyone around him with his stick (lol, make a gay joke about Robin) or whatever that thing is he's carrying and you usually get 3-6 hits with each of those trip moves. I forgot that you can play the combat with the lame way by just spamming Bat Swarm. No wonder you can't handle the other characters if you just jump around, make a strike, jump around, make a strike, jump... etc. and then do a Bat Swarm, and repeat. What's the fun part in that? What's so hard just to press like 2 or 3 times before you make an counter with , then continue with strikes or anything else. Then when you handle that kind of a basic thing, you can add on some finishing moves with + - but beware! That calls for some mad skillz! (Not.)

After reading people's comments this is how I started to feel. Did anyone earn the medals legit? Sure, the Bat Swarm is helpful, but as mentioned above, everyone has a substitute for it, and they all help you when you are feeling cornered. For me Catwoman was the worst. Her Beatdown took longer to finish body armor guys, and if you weren't careful her Caltrops could mess up your combo if you knock too many people over. Plus she had less health.

PainOfDemise Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Glad for this post. These videos were done well and are easy to follow. Unlike some of the other ones I've found on Youtube. This will help me with my 100%! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeividHasselhoff Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) After reading people's comments this is how I started to feel. Did anyone earn the medals legit? Sure, the Bat Swarm is helpful, but as mentioned above, everyone has a substitute for it, and they all help you when you are feeling cornered. For me Catwoman was the worst. Her Beatdown took longer to finish body armor guys, and if you weren't careful her Caltrops could mess up your combo if you knock too many people over. Plus she had less health. I don't even see how bat swarm is helpful. Dodging and beatdowns seems much easier to me. On topic, Robin truly sucks. He is basically a shitty version of Batman with bunch of watered down moves, but i guess that is pretty spot on in a way. Unlike Catwoman and Nightwing, he doesn't have quicker movement to outweigh the limitations these characters have when compared to Batman and i absolutely hate playing combat challenges with him. EDIT: Now that i'm finally done with challenges i still hate Robin. Catwoman, Batman and Nightwing are pretty equal in combat maps besides Catwomans low health being hindrance every now and then, but robin is miles behind. Maybe it boils down to my style of doing huge amount of beatdowns, but slow first hit, slow and narrow stun and enemies suffering very little knockback from both stuns and strikes really made it painful. Predator maps were by far easiest with Batman with Nightwing following, both Robin and Catwoman had several pain in the ass predator maps. So overall from easiest to hardest; Batman -> Nightwing -> Catwoman -> Robin. Edited February 4, 2014 by DeividHasselhoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegetollo7 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I finally finished the Robin DLC last night. Now that Catwoman and Robin are done, it's on to Nightwing. Only took me four plus years to finally finish up all of the Arkham City DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Ishimura Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Thanks for the video guide. I will definitely need this. I recently went for the 100% on Return to Arkham Asylum and age finally started to show for the free-flow and camera mechanics on that game. I remembered how Arkham City had improved on this, but the early rooms in the combat challenges never seem to have enough enemies. My first attempt with Robin got me 19K points, but the plan is to use Robin, then Catwoman, Nightwing and then Batman for the combat challenges. I want to get these out of the way first as the free-flow combat is my least favourite part of the franchise. Great for the first game, but it soon starts to look more like Batman Rhythm. So I save the predator stuff for last as I love those. As for the campaigns. I heard you only get a certain amount of attempts. So if you fail the 3 attempts what is it that happens and would USB backups be a good idea for this part of the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
